Panics, president of the United States
grain corporation, will be asked to
explain recent grain sales and move
ments in connection with an investi
gation of an alleged attempt to corner
the corn market on his arrival here

States district attorney announced.
, Mr. Clvne announced that after a
preliminary examination no evidence
of illegal market manipulation had
appeared to warrant prosecution
under the Lever food control act.
Market experts and 'transporta

inability of the railroads to supply
sufficient cars to carry the crop t
primary markets, thev told (he-dis

The school board members and
County Prosecutor Huberts are up in

will be left undone to find out the
identity of the marauders and punish
them to the limit. .Much headway
was eained in the investigation today
and the board members and prose

of valuable evidence. It is said that
the liii:h school student body in tren

There seems lo be no onestion but

it could have been done by outsiders.

the urn v paint with which the seats

over them resulted in much damage
ami considerable loss to the tax-,

The main floor of Hie auditorium
could not be used bv the students to

dent soviet ' reported to lie in exis
tence at tho J'ort Hays normal kcIioo!
was never in reality a soviet, hut was
called mo by a professor who was the
victim of n student's prank when he
with one other professor anil one atu
dent were threwn into a lake because
of their refusal to help other stu
dents build a nmnitiK track, it was
announced by college officials today.
Professor Caspar Harvey, after his
misfortune immediately sent two
telegrams to t he state board of agri
culture saying the students had seiz
ed control, that a soviet was in opera
tion and asked for immediate assis
stanee. Nc' instances of the students
proclaiming a "soviet" or of their at
tempting to govern the school were
reported.
The trouble started when the presi
dent of the school declared a half
holiday for the men students to build
a running track. A woman professor
suggested that the girls furnish a
meal to the men and that any who
did not assist be given a "ducking.'
The men of the school believed this
rule should also apply to their sex
and when Professors Harvey and
Start, and John Iduduist, a student,
refused, believing the order was an
infringement upon their liberty, they
were thrown into tho lake.
This closed the incident with tho
exception of the "soviet" telegrams.
