MAGNITUDE OF CRIME Lovelace Brothers Self Con fessed Murderers, Play Happily in Jail Yard Twin Falls, Idaho, Aug. 24. Facing murder charges, Harold and Lynn Love lacer aged 12 and 11 years, played hap pily about the juvenile ward of the county jail today. ' They apparently hail no thought whatever of the killing ol F. T. Hamill, to which they have con fessed. Since their arrival in prison the boys have been bathed and clothed iu ne.l outfits. They have rigged up a method of playing "one ole cat" with the jail wall as a backstop. It is evident that they are not doing any worrying aboui their predicament, they have no horrol of the Hamill killing and no concern about the whereabouts of their mother and stepfather. Every effort to locatt the parents has resulted in failure. The date for the Lovelace prelimin ary hearing hns not been sot. It will be held up until the district attorney decides whether he shall go ahead and prosecute the boys on a straight murdet charge. Lynn, the younger, is alleged to have actually fired the shot which killed Hamill after the latter surprised the boys robbing his house. Harold is held as an accomplice. Railroad Troubles Make Market Cautious New York, Aug. 24. The New York Evening Sun financial review today says: irregular price tendencies marked the greater pnrt of today's session with movements at times distinctly in favor of lower levels, without, however, the accompaniment of active selling or any particular change in sentiment regard ing the prospects of further improve ment in market values. The street was conservatively bullish for the immed iate future but the disposition of trad ers and commission house customers was to proceed with greater caution pending the outcome of the railroad labor con troversy and apparently to await de velopments affecting a prominent muni tion manufacturing company which rumors suggested was having financial difficulties. To a great extent, especially in the afternoon dealings, speculative interest turned from the steel stocks to the cop per issues in which price improvements were recorded, especially in Inspiration which sold to a new high, and Tennes see copper. Today 'a general market had for the first time in. a week or more a two sided appearance. Traders who took profits on the advance were anxious to bring about reactions in order to estab lish new level for another rise and the 'public was less in evidence than report ed in recent days.

Dlack rust probably will be the cause . of sending wheat prices soaring to unheard of levels, with the coming of the spring wheat out- put, according to the United States department of agriciil- tore today. One official said If- wheat now appears probable. One of the must severe epi- demies in black rust ever re- corded has swept the wheat belt of the northwest, with un- precedented damage, predict- lug a production far below nor- mal. Reports arriving at the de- partmeut Hot only substantiate the predictions of government experts but It is said, tend to place the loss at a far greater figure, with correspondingly high prices certain for the fall anil winter. The infected area Minneso- ta and the two Dakotas pro- duce, it is said, the greater part of the spring crop.
