1'ederal Reserve Board Reports
Conditions for Drop Not as Fs
! vorable as in Last Two Months.
WASHINGTON. April 29. Reports
from federal reserve agents through
out the country showed a marked
tendency of prices to resume their
upward movement, the federal re
serve board reported tonight in its
summary of business conditions for
-April. But the board noted the hope
f 1 sign from the consumers' view
point, of "anxiety concerning the
overstrained situation resulting from
excessively high prices and wages,
"which it is believed forecast a slow
ing down in the skyrocketing of
prices.
While high prices of necessaries
wtre obviously chargeable to ineffici
ency and under production to a large
decree, the board advanced the belief
that already high costs of production
were aggravated by tbe added ex-
sult has been that, during April, con
ditions were not as favorable to a
drop in prices as they were in Febru
ary, and March, according to the sum
mary. -"While the agricultural outlook is
distinctly less satisfactory than it
was a month ago," the summary says,
"and while the month of April has
been a period of serious labor dis
turbances, especially in the transpor
tation field, the activity of business
has continued high, demand for pro
ducts strong and with prices tending
upward rather than downward. In
dustries are not, as a whole, booked
as far ahead, relatively speaking, as
in the past, although in some lines
the volume of unfilled orders is very
large.
"The export trade holds up in an
unexpected degree and bank credit,
although not materially larger in
volume than at the opening of April
has had to follow more or less the
course of demand, so that expansion
or various points has taken the place
of reductions effected at others.'
The board "viewed with some
alarm" the question of obtaining ade
quate labor for the farm. This ques
tion was considered the most diffi
cult element of the whole labor situa
tion and was declared to demand
deepest study in order to obviate
serious results both to the producer
and the consumer.

at the Benson hotel.
The main speaker was Dr. E. M.
Downing of York. Pa., who is touring

of carrying on original scientific re
search work along osteopathic lines.

ranged by the Western Osteopathic
association to be held monthly at
which time some prominent osteopa

and scientific developments of interest
to the profession.
The speaker for the May meeting

Patrolman Field told him this -was a
violation of the sign ordinance and
so he had the sign painted out. He
said he then went to the city hall and
authorities there told him he could,
maintain the sign so he put it up
again.
The result was that he was ar
rested. When he appeared in court
yesterday. Judge Rossman told him
that the sign was a violation of the
law which prohibited such a sign less
than 7 feet above the sidewalk and
asked him if he was willing to re
move the sign.
Smarnes declared he was not and
that he wanted to look up the law
on the subject. '
.Judge Rossman gave him until Sat
urday' to look up the-law and decide
whether or not he was willing to re
move the sign.

Embryo Millionaire Is Owner of
Combined Lunch Room and
Tailor Shop.
NEELTVILLE, Mo.. April 29. (Spe
cial.) William Cowan Lowery, who
says he is the son of the late William
F. Cowan, president of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, through a
common-law marriage of the oil baron
and Lowery's mother, who he says
was a full-blooded Indian woman
from the. Choctaw and Creek tribes!
stoutly affirms that he is certain he
can prove his claim and win title to
the 13,000.000 estate.
Lowery, who claims to be a half-
breed Indian and whose dark coloring
and straight black bair support the
claim, lives in the negro district ot
Neelyvllle, four miles north of the
Arkansas line. . Of the 406 inhabitants
of the town, many are negroes, and
by these Lowery has been, regarded
as one of their own race since he
came to the place from Mounds, 111.,
about a year ago. He has one son.
who has many of the features of the
Caucasian race, his hair being straight
and his lips thin. He has also an
adopted son. a negro. He is extremely
reticent and, according to his neigh
bors, litt'e is known of him.
A combined restaurant and clothes
pressing shop is owned by Lowery, a
lunch counter on one side of the room,
a table and ironing board on the
other. In the woods two miles eaBt o
Neelyvllle he has bought a small farm.
In these woods he was found busily
clearing a space of ground for the
erection of new farm buildings. With
his sons he lives at the rear of the
store building in the town.
Lowery was loath to talk freely.
According to his statement, his father
met his mother, an Indian girl who
was traveling with a tent show in
Illinois, 42 years ago, and they lived
together as man and wife for several
years, during which, time Lowery was
Dorn. ie says that his parents later
separated in Tennessee and that his
mother died several years ago In
Brookport. III. He says that the farm
on which he was at work when first
interviewed was purchased for him by
Cowan.
"I met my father twice," he said.
"The first time right after my moth
er's death, when I found him because
he told me to. I located him in Chi
cago and told him of my mother dy
ing and he gave me $500. I did not
see him again for six years. Then
in 1916 I went to Chicago to see him
and found he lived in Wheaton. 1
waited for him at the station and
when he appeared told him I wanted
to buy a farm. He asked me how
much I would need and I told him
about $6000.
He finally gave me (4675 and told
me to go down to Neelyville and buy
a farm there; said I might strike oil
on it, as they were talking of looking
for oil there. At the sam, time he
said to tne: 'I wH make provision for
you in my will.""
He says that when his mother was
dying; she gave' him a. letter to be
delivered to Cowan, saying: "You take
care of this. I am going to leave you.
Take it to William F. Cowan,, who
lives near Chicago. He is your father
and he will take, care of you." Until
that time, he says, he had lived in ig
norance as to . his father's identity.
His mother then told him that there
had been a common-law marriage and
that she had lived with Cowan for
several years.
Lowery married a negro woman,
who died In Neelyville on November
13 last. They had two sons, one of
whom, Abraham, was killed in France.
The other is the young boy now with
his father.
"I do not wish to say much about
this case now," he said. "If any more
information is' desired it might be
better to see my attorney. Paul Kuhn
of Wheaton, or to go to the federal
court in Illinois and examine the records."
of the Courtney sisters she was a
sensation singing a "blue" song.
Four other talented girls offer
specialties in the "Mimic World" act.
Two of these are very youthful
kiddies who appear in dance numbers.
One of these is a duet called "Leave
Me Alone." interpreted as a quarrel
between two youngsters. The other
is a duet about the "stuttering boy"
and his "lisping girl." A cunning
little maid sings "Freckles" delight
fully, and another pretty little girl
sings a plaint about being the young

well liked numbers, and a dainty glri

big. The cast goes rapidly, responds
generously to encores, and gives an
entertaining account' of every min
ute. The costume changes are many
and very picturesque. - Miss' Morley
wears a gorgeous black lace and, Jet
gown for one song.
The remainder of the programme
balances nicely. Harry Gilbert, a dia

TOURIST HATES DELAYED
A..OlXCEMEXT OF PARKS EX
PECTED MOMENTARILY.
Although Xegatived by Association,
Independent Action From Lines
' May Be Looked For.
Announcements of tourist fares to
the Pacific northwest for the summer
season are expected momentarily by
traffic officials. The trans-continental
passenger association has re
ported negatively on the proposition
for rates that had been worked out
and submitted. In fact it has twice
been negatived by the. vote of the as
sociation members, once when; it was
first taken up several weeks ago and
again Wednesday. This was antic
ipated, as the rates to the northwest
always have been made as the inde
pendent action of some of the lines.
This is due to the insistence of the
Southern Pacific to differentials to
cover the long coast trip over their
Shasta route and the equally firm
attitude of the northern lines not to
recognize the right of the coast line
to stand out for a fixed compensa
tion for that portion of the Pacific
coast Journey of tourists.
However, the announcement of the
rates is coming later than usual, and
it leaves some speculation as to
whether the traffic officials may be
hesitating to act in the face of the
fact that the government control is
nominally continued until Septem
ber 1. Whether or not there may be
involved in the situation some legal
question that might deny to eastern
people the right to choos a north
west tour with the advantages of
the summer rates granted to other
territory, is a question that has been
raised in some quarters.

RATTLERS EASY TO CATCH
Expert Says Nothing Xecessary but
Bare Hands and Confidence.
EUGENE, Or.. April 29. (Special.)
A favorite pastime of Robert W.
Veatch of this city is catching rat
tlesnakes with his bare hands. ' Tues
day while in the hills near Coburg
he killed ten of the reptiles and
caught one alive, bringing it to the
city and exhibiting It yesterday in
the show window of a local hard
ware store.
Mr. Veatch says he usually grasps
the rattlers behind the head or
around the head, and has caught a
large number in this manner in re
cent years. He declares there is no
danger of them biting as long as
they are held firmly.
Mr. Veatch adds that it takes con
fidence to make a good rattlesnake
catcher, and as soon as the snake
observes the least bit of fright ine
reptile becomes the aggressor.
