TO KEEP DOWN PAST
Prominent Insurance Man of
Seattle Is Arrested.
FORGERY IS ADMITTED
. A. Adams Needed Money to Si
lence Former Fellow Convict ill
Washington State Prison.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 19. (Spe
cial. ) A s the p ri ce ot silencin g a
former fellow-convict in th state
penitentiary at Walla Walla, S. A.
Adams, office manager for the C. B.
do M.Ue fire insurance agency, got
the immediate cash needed to stave
off blackmail by cashing in two fic
titious fire claims, totaling (ISO, ac
cording to hia confession in the
prosecuting attorney's ff ice this aft
ernoon. Adams is widely known socially
a.nd among local business men, and
enjoyed the confidence of scores of
friends. He was arrested at his of
fices. A complaint charging grand
larceny had just been issued.
Taken at once to the prosecuting
attorney's office for interrogation,
Adams broke down and admitted the
alleged transaction.
Served Four Years In Pr.ou
According to the statement of
Prosecutor Carmody, Adams, many
years ago, was sent to the peniten
tiary from Pierce county, having
been convicted of grand larceny.
Adams served one year, was released
on parole, but later was apprehended
ror alleged violation or his parole and
Imprisoned three years more.
"After that," said Mr. Carmody,
'the man went straight. He came to
Seattle and made good. Mr. de Mille,
his present employer, knew of his
criminal record, but I think no one
else in Seattle did. The president of
the insurance company trusted
Adams and gave him his opportunity
to live down the past."
Two Checks Are Cashed.
The complaint against Adams al
leges that he benefited by cashing
personally two checks made out for
fraudulent fire insurance claims one
for $85 and the other for $5.
Jlecords, of the Jocal police depart
ment show that Adams was arrested
in Tacoma, February 23, 1914, charged
with passing a forged money order
for $10tfi In the superior court of
Pierce county he was convicted of
forgery and sentenced to serve from
one to 15 years in the state peniten
tiary at Walla Walla.
Adams formerly lived in San Fran
cisco. The police records indicate
that on January 27, 1914. he was ar
rested in San Francisco for "a viola
tion of the ponal code.' Details of
this charge are not known here, but
complaint was dismissed without a
trial.
along the line, with hogs and pro
visions following suit. Corn led the
way notwithstanding that" it was al
ready lower than at any time since
1915.
Expected greatly enlarged pressure
of offerings from .the new crop of
corn appeared to be a leading factor
in emphasizing bearish sentiment
caused by unsettled financial and eco
nomic conditions. As a result, before
the day was half over wheat had
fallen 7 cents to $1.734 for Decem
ber delivery and to $1.63 V for March;
corn was off 3 cents to 66 December,
and oats' down to 46 cents for May.
The severity of the new breaks ex
cited much comment. It was pointed
out that corn had now been cut from
$1.83 a bushel to less than 70 cents
within Ave months, whereas it was
two years after the world war was
started before a bushel of corn could
command an even dollar.
Downward swings followed rapidly
fn the wheat market until December
delivery touched $1.71, a sheer descent
of nearly 10 cents a bushel from yes
terday's finish. Corn suffered a maxi
mum loss of about 4 cents. Export
buying of 1,000,000 bushels of wheat
helped to rally prices a little at the
last, December wheat closing nervous
at $1.72 to $1.724.

WESTON CASE CONTINUES
PLDA roil I1RKCTKI VERDICT
DEMED BY COURT.
Defense Makes Attempt to Sliow
Death lay Have Resulted
From Accident.
BEND, Or., Nov. 19. (Special.)
The state rested its case today against
Jack Weston, accused slayer of
.Robert Kru? of Sisters. T. J.Sanders,
bailiff, testified that on the day of
Ahe arrest he had asked Weston the
'reason for his imprisonment and had
received the answer:
Well, I'm on the wrong side of the
bars, but I'll show them I did it in
elf-defense."
N. G. Wallace, attorney for "Weston,
moved for a directed verdict, which
was denied.

Hinmao, since deceased, from short
hand notes. This was to the effect
that Krug was subject to fainting
spells, that he kept a kerosene lamp

filled with hay. It was the first direct

Corn and Oats Go to Fre-TVar
Levels; tJnsettled General
Conditions Factors.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19. Prices collapsed
today to a before-the-war level for corn
and oats, and dragged down the wheat
market temporarily almost 10 cents a
bushel. - Disturbed market and financial
conditions, together with prospective large
receipts of new corn, were the chief de
pressing factors apparent. Wheat closed
nervous, 5c to Sc net lower, with De
cember $1.72 to $1.72 and March fl.634
to tl.6. Corn lost 2c to 3c net and
oats lc to 2-c. As to provisions, the
result varied, from 45c decline to $1.13
advance. 9
In view of the acute weakness of corn
and oats, confidence in the buying side of
the wheat market seemed to have vanished
and orders to sell wheat poured into the
pit from all sides. News' that stocks, cot
ton and sugar were on the down grade
add to the force of bearish sentiment
regarding wheat, and so, too, did a new
crash in hog prices to the lowest point
in three years, as well as the failure of
two North Dakota banks.
The day was approaching a close be
fore the impetus of the wave of selling re
ceived any decided check. Then word that
European buyers had taken advantage of
the break and had bought 1.O0O.000 bushels
of wheat for trans-Atlantic shipment tend
ed to rally the market somewhat.
Notwithstanding that corn and oats
went headlong downward, respectively,
about and 30 cents, as compared with
top figures lust week, extraordinary lack
of good buying of future deliveries re
mained evident. It was noted, however,
that millers who have been out of the
market for two months bought spot corn
on the break.
Provisions sympathized with grain and
hogs and went to new low price marks
for the season.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Overbcck & Cooke company of
Portland said:
"Wheat Liquidation set In "Immediately
after the opening and carried prices down
to the lowest level since 1917. The day's
news budget disclosed nothing new; It was
simply a case of holders beginning to real
ize that the deflation which set In months
ago in practically all other commodities
has now invaded wheat in earnest. Re
ports of fair-slved export sales caused
small rally, but failed completely as
permanent influence. The wheat sold to
day was said to be in part for Germany
and many of the trade were skeptical as
to its authenticity in view of the state
ment made public yesterday by the Ger
man minister of finance that Germany
could buy not nine. Receipts In the south
west were large and cash prices sharply
lower, the losses ranging from 5c
much as 12c a bushel. The relative weak
ness of the December delivery was consid
ered significant and indicative ot a weak
ening cash position. It is hard to re con
cile present wheat prices with the pre
vailing coarse-grain level, and we think
the readjustment is now getting well un
der way.
"Corn failed to display the slightest
rallying power except at the extreme de
cline, where profit-taking by shorts made
its appearance in good volume. The de
pression in cash prices continued with
losses of from 4c to 15c recorded in the
various markets. The eJreme decline
was in Kansas City for the yellow va
riety. "Oats again sold down to the lowest
level on the crop, with the buying power
confined almost entirely to profit-taking
by shorts. Despite light receipts, cash
prices were 2c to 3c lower.
provisions were weak and lower, due to
the decline of 60c in hog prices. The hog
movement is large and the position of the
market weak."
Leading futures ranged as follows:

as the domestic demand for flour Is back
ward and the foreign flour market Is in
much the same position as the export
wheat market. There was, during the
week, some inquiry from the southeast,
which stiffened prices for the soft-wheat
grades, but with these orders tilled, prices
fell back..
The market was very weak yesterday, as
shown by the bids posted at the noon
session of the Merchants Exchange. Of
fers for club were reduced 15 cents and
January soft white the same amount.
while December soft white was 14 cents
lower. Hard white bids were cut 510
cents' and red walla 3 cents. Northern
spring and bard winter were unchanged.
The coarse grain market was sluggish
and prices depressed. Barley and oats
averaged M cents lower, while eastern
yellow corn bids declined $1.50 2.23.
Patent flour prices were unchanged at
$10.40, but there was another decline in
bakers' flour to $9.50 for hard .wheat
grades and $9.25 for bluestem.

HEAVY POTATO CROP HARVESTED
Sunflower Si la re Proves Successful in Parts
of Northwest.
Weekly crop reports, received by the
general freight department of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle railway and allied lines,
present an interestine comparison of con
ditions in territory covered by these lines,
covering ' as they do data on crop con
ditions in sections ranging from the dry
lands of eastern Washington and central
Oregon to the lower Columbia river terri
tory and- Wiilamette valley.
The past week has seen .the completion
of the potato harvest, a record crop In all
sections. It was feared that the exces
sive rainfall on the western slopes would
affect the quality, but such fears proved
groundless. Apples In the Willamette val
ley were of very good quality, but the
yield was considerably less than in former
seasons.
Both In the Willamette valley and the
Deer Island section, sunflower silage, be
ing tried out this season on a fairly large
scale, has proved very successful and In
regions where corn does not produce well
the sunflower crop will be a marked ad
dition to the feed' crop hereafter. Hay and
alfalfa did well in central Oregon as well
as other districts along the line.
A large acreage of winter wheat and
barley is being sown in eastern Washing
ton and in some localities seeding has been
completed.
The Willamette valley continues to hold
its place as the truck gardlen center. The
celery crop in this section was about 90
per cent of normal and the quality good
One of the best Indications along- the en
tire line is the new ground that is being
broken for crops for next year's cultivation.
DECLINE IN EGGS IS EXPECTED.
Lower Market Looked for After Thanks
giving Demand Is Supplied.
The egg market is in a somewhat un
settled condition because of a slackening
of demand rather than any change in the
supply situation. The general buying
prices of country shipments yesterday were
70 cents, case count, 75 cents for hen
neries and 58 t 62 cents for pullet eggs
Jobbers on the street quoted candled ranch
at 77 cents and selects at 82 cents. It was
the opinion that prices would ease off
after Thanksgiving. U. L. Upton, general
manager of the Oregon Poultry Producers
association issued the following notice:
"Effective with Saturday morning, the
"producers association will reduce the price
of eggs 2c per dozen on all grades. This
will make the quotations read as follows:
Selects, 75c; firsts, 75c; pullets, 68c, and
pee wees, 58c. We have an ample supply
of fresh eggs to meet the requirements of
the Portland trade and this reduction is
made in order to restore the consumption
and demand for fresh stock.'
The butter market remained firm. Cubes
were In good demand, offerings of top
grade were limited and the previous day's
prices were quoted. There was a good
trade" in prints.
IDAHO PRUNES IN LONDON MARKET
First Shipment of Fresh Fruit of Season
Gets Through.
The first consignment of the season of
fresh prune plums from Idaho recently ar
rived In London, according to the American
consul there. The total shipment was
small. The fruit was packed in trays of
5 lbs. each and four trays comprised
crate. The prunes had the fresh bloom
on them and could be purchased) either by
the pound, half-pound or tray. They were
sound and palatable and exhibited few

TURKEY RCSH WILI START TODAY

Large Buyers.
Turkeys will begin arriving in quantity
today for the Thanksgiving trade, and for
the next three days, wholesalers and com

Up to the present time the market has

NEW YORK, Nov. 19. Hopes of better
conditions in the stock market today were
soon dissipated, the reaction ef the past
three weeks making additional headway
after an initial period of comparative
steadiness. Sales amounted to -1,500,000

two 'exceptions, this year.
More than 100 "Industrials - and special1

CHANCES FOR BETTER APPEAR
Slight Improvement Noted in Some Lines
of Business.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19. Iun's tomorrow
will sny:
"Certain changes for the better have ap
peared in business. The improvement Is
slight and none at all is visible In various
quarters, but some of the indications are
more favorable than In recent weeks.
Sentiment among some interests has
strengthened. even without appreciable
gain in acUvity and the encouraging fea
tures in -the outloolc are being rather more
freely stressed.
- "Demand for seasonable goods has ma
terially increased? and offerings of mer
chandise at lower prices seem to be meet
ing with a somewhat broader response. At
the best, however, the buying Is still con
servative and restricted and. curtailment
of production through lack of new orders
has not yet ceased."

SQUARE DEAL PROMISED
Railroads Are Going: to Get Chance
to Rehabilitate.
BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 19. (Special.)
Railroads ot the country are going
to get a full chance to rehabilitate
and a square deal as far as regula
tion by state and national government
Is concerned. That is the opinion
brought back from Washington by
A. L. Freehafer, president of the pub
lic utilities commission of Idaho.
Mr. Freehafer returned Thursday
the National Association of Railway
and Utilities commissioners, at the
national capital, which was in ses
sion November 9-12, inclusive.
"The disposition seems to be," he
said, "to give the railroads a chance
to make good if they can, and to
remove as many restrictions as pos
sible that might be placed upon them
by state regulation of rates. They
are not to be hampered in their strug
gle back to efficiency and prosperity
by state commissions."
