WHEAT INTERESTS
AIDED BY BOARD
WASHINGTON Aug 14—(/Pi—With
one all-encompassing gesture, the
federal farm board has put the two
game cocks of the grain trade in
the same pen.
Long at loggerheads, with their
differences held responsible for the
delay in appointment of a grain
man.to the farm board, wheat pools
on one hand, and cooperative grain
elevators on the other, are brought
under a common roof In the pro
posed $20,000,000 cooperative mar
keting corporation.
The super-organization would act
as a central marketing agency
through which the annual exports
of 200.000.000 bushels, or approxi
mately one-fourth of the entire
wheat crop of the nation, would be
sold abroad.
There would be export represen
tatives in foreign fields, acting
much after the fashion of foreign
export agencies maintained by the
Canadian wheat pool, which han
dles half of Canada’s wheat crop.
It would act as an Intermediary
between the farm board and the
cooperatives in wheat operations on
the domestic market.
IRELAND AND ENGLAND
COMMERCE IS LIVELY
DUBLIN. Aug. 14.—(AV-The lat

Britain, including northern Ireland.
Britain buys twice as much poul
try from the Free State as she
does from France and the nearest
competitor. Of all customers of
Britain the Free State ranks fifth

As a customer of Britain the Free
State imports $175,680,000 worth of

Places Responsibility For
Fatal Affair On Dead
Girl’s Shoulder
COURTROOM. Columbus. Ohio.
Aug. 14. ;.-Fh-Responsibility for the
three year love affair between Dr.
James H. Snook, former Ohio
state professor and Theora Hix,
the co-ed he killed last June, was
placed on the shoulders of the girl
today by Max Seyfert. defense at—
tomey, in his closing arguments,
to the Jury.
Seyfert drew a picture of Miss
Hix when she went to work ss a
stenographer three years ago in the
veterinary building at Ohio State
university where she met Dr.
Snook, describing her as the mov
ing spirit in the affair that grew
up between them.
Seyfert characterized as a “damn
able lie” ihe state's contention that
Dr. Snook's confession was volun
tary and represented the former
professor's story of the killing.
“After Dr. Snook asked them to'
i exDlain the four degrees of homi- |
cide. why should he pick out the
! highest charge, the only one that
! would send him to the electric
chair," the attorney demanded.
8eyfert started his argument, the
second for the defense, after New
ton Tracey, the alternate juror,
had taken the place in the jury
seat of C. F. Butche. who suffered
a sudden stomach illness last night.
A physician who examined Butche
stid he couid not serve until late in
the day at the earliest, and after
agreement of counsel. Judge Henry
L. Scarlitt had Tracey take his
place.
Myron Gessejnan. assistant pros
ecutor. made the second argument
for the state after Seyfert finished.

MAYOR CAl '
IN HUGE RAID
• •
Liquor Roundup in Indiana
City Alto Include*
Police Chief
HAMMOND. Ind., Aug. 14.—</PV
Girls of school age, a mayor, a po
lice chief and men and women op
erators of scores of speakeasies were
among 200 persons arrested last
night and early today as federal
prohibition agents mopped up a
widespread liquor and vice ring.
By one o'clock this morning 165
persons had been arrested In East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor, the
two cities against which the agents
concentrated their drive. As rapidly
as the prisoners could be taken to
Crown Point for arraignment be
fore a United States commissioner,
the 250 raiders returned to the
roundup which they said would not
be completed until apnrlxlmately
300 errests had been made.
Mayor Raleigh P. Hale of East
Chicago and his chief of police,
James E. Regan, were among the
first arrested. Nick Sudovich. cata
logued as a lieutenant of Scarface
A1 Capone and as one of the head*
of liquor tralffic In the Calumet
district, also was seized. Federal
authorities believe Capone, now in
a Philadelphia Jail, is the actual
head of the alleged liquor and vice
ring.
The raids began at six o’clock last
night following a secret conference
of federal forces at South B«nd yes
terday aftemon. So swift’v did the
agents strike that most of those ar
rested were taken In the cabarets,
speakeasies and saloons where they
worked.
Mayor Hale and Chief Regan
were charged with conspiracy, and
a similar charge was made against
Sudovich who was found in the ca
baret he operates. In manv places
the agents found girls acting as
barmaids, and they were sent with
the others to Crown Point for ar- i
ralgnment.
