JUMPING PIES
Speculators Cry Food Short
age Preparatory to Cinch
ing Public
Chicago, March 30. The food supply
of the ration ia in danger was the ery
in Chicago meat and grain markets to
day. Alarming reports poured into the
market today from the great winter
wheat fields of Kansas and Nebraska.
They told of drought and the plowing
up of thousands of acres of winter
wheat.
May wheat opened at $1.98 on the
board of trade today, a slight recession
from yesterday, but with that excep
tion the bigVt in history. Cash wheat
of high grade was quoted at $2.15 to
$2.2.) with not enough offered to estab
lish a market.
May corn opened at $1.19 7-8. Cash
corn was running well with the May
futures. May oats wore selling at 62
and 7-8 with cash oats ranging to 65
cents.
Live hogs on the hoof at the stock
yards today sold as high as $15.55 per
hundred pounds, a jump of 25 cents
over yesterday and an advance of 40
cents in the past two days, tho record
of all time.
Wholesale and retail prices, arc fol
lowing hogs. Dollar eighteen corn
means $15.50 pork, dealers said. Choice
beef steers today sold at $12.90 per
hundred pounds. Sheep were firm at
$12.35 per hundred.
Say Labor Is Short.
Reports received by the United
Press from its bureaus in Kansas City,
Mo., and Lincoln, Neb. confirmed
statements in the Chicago pit.
Another grave menace to the nation's
food was tho fact that the labor short
age, already acute, is made critical by
the calling out of the national guard in
the agricultural states. A conserva
tive estimate today was that the pres
ent national guard calt would take 30,
000 men from the strictly agricultural
states, in addition to those joining the
regular army and navy. This figures
the regiments called at war strength.
These men are the cream of tho able
bodied workers. Farmers hesitate to
Increase acreage in the face of certain
labor famine.
The high price of all seeds is also
threatening disaster. State agricul
tural societies and officials are co
operating on tho seed question and ad
vancing seed to farmers unable to buy
on tho market. The demand still is
greater than the visible supply.
No way has so far been devised to
meet the farm labor problem. The
great pocking houses and steel mills
around Chicago are bringing tens of
thousands of negroes from the south to
meet the labor shortage, which in torn
is injuring the labor supply of the
southern states.
Tentative suggestions from the west
have been made of importing Chinese
laborers.
HOLIDAY FOR LAUNCHING
Portland, Ore., Mar- 29. Mayor Al

noon a half holiday so the city can cele
brate the launching of the steel steamer
Vesterline at the Northwest Steel com
pany's plant.

"Yes, it was a big Flemish oak rocker with high back, and must have cost
eight to ten dollars.
"Then a big dresser went for $3.00, and there were so many other things
just as cheap why, I saved enough so I bought a lot of things I couldn't have
afforded any other way."
That's a sample of what you will 1 ear about our auction sale of the McPeek
stock of new and used furniture at 271 North Commercial street.
Just to show you how things are going, dealers took away one piece after
another and they expect to sell them and make a profit so the people who
buy are getting the goods at less than wholesale prices of today. The sale
continues.

ATTORNEY'S FIGHTING
TO GET THAW:S MONEY
If they Can Get Him to New
York It Will Be Like Im
porting Gold Mine
Philadelphia, March 30. That Har
ry K. Thaw who lias been adjudged in
sane by a Pennsylvania sanity com
mission personally conducted his own
snnity proceeding was the claim of As
sistant District Attorney Black of New
York, here today. He made appeal be
fore Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown to have Thaw extradited to New
York to stand trial for assault on Fred
Gump, Jr. a Kansas City youth, in the
Hotel McAlpin, in January.
"Insanity has never been held as a
cause to prohibit extradition," Black
added. ri
No decision is "anticipated on the
hearing this afternoon, as indications
were that arguments will continue very
late. It is thought a decision will tjo
iriiiimruniy wunneiu.
Scathing attacks were made on the
Thaw family for using vast sums to de
feat the ends of justice, included ifi the
arguments of Assistant District Attor
ney Black.
"The justice of two states is on trial
in this case," said Black. "There is a
question in tho public mind as to which
is stronger in Pennsylvania, the laws,
or the Thaws." . .!
"The history of thaw " Black con
tinued, "shows that he can come to
life 'civilly' whenever it suits. When
it suits him to die, ho become a very
dead man."
"A jury at the second triul of Thaw
in the Stanford White case,'" said
Deputy Attorney General Alfred L.
Becker of New York, who also argued
tho case today, "was asked to believe
that Thaw was insaDe. Another high
priced group of alienists testified at
three subsequent habeas corpus pro
ceedings that Thaw was sane and suc
ceeded in convincing the jury of it.
"And now,'' he shouted, "a lunacy
commission decides he is insane after
all."

WAS JUSTIFIED IN ACT
Nameless Horrors Convinced
Jury Husband Deserved
Death
Denver, Col., Mar. 30. Mrs- ' Stella
Newton Moore Smith, slayer of her
chauffeur husband, John Lawrence
Smith, was freed of a chargo of murder
by a jury in exactly one hnd one-half
minutes this afternoon, as tho termina
tion of Colorado's most sensational
murder tril, which lusted 21 days.
The public was exoluded from the
court room when Mrs. Smith testified.
Her sordid story of love, hate, jealousy,
passion and criminal degeneracy con
vinced the 12 men who judged her that
he was justified in killing tho man
who, according to her testimony, had
ruined her life.
Mrs. Smith, former society leader,
was divorced from her first' husband,
AYilliam A. Moore, Denver attorney,
four years ago. Sho did not contest his
application for divorce, charging deser
tion. Shortly afterward she married
Smith, who had been her stepfather's
chauffeur, at Yreka, Cal. Then begnn
a four year period of debauchery and
sordidness, which extended acros the
continent from California to Detroit,
finally ending in Denver.
Atrs- bnnth, who is wealthy, left
Smith and camo to her home here in
January. Smith followed, when he at
tempted to force her to nameless do
generate acts', and threatened to Hp.
bauch her 12 year old daughter by her
rormer nusiiaiio-, she testified she shot
and killed him.
Officers who went to the home after
the killing found Smith's dend body
ou the floor, while Mrs. Smith, her body
covered with bruises, sat in a chair and
over and over expressed her happiness
that Smith was dead.

WILL MEETGERMANY
(Continued from page one.)
doubt in the eyes of the world that tho
United States is prepared to face miy
challenge to her rights, personal mid
property.
The president baa practically com
pleted his "war message" to b deliv
ered to tho forthcoming congress.
Tho tentative draft was discussed in
detail today by the cabinet. It met
with unanimous approval.
No cabinet member would say specif
ically what tho president would recom
mend, but tho intimation was carried
generally that congress will be asked,
by tho president to declare a state of
war exists despite this government's
efforts along opposite lines, and to
prepnro to meet acts of aggression by
Germany in such a manner that a last
ing peace may be brought about ;uid
soon.
Nearly an hour after the cabinet ad
journed, white house authorities let it
bo known that the war situation iH en
tirely "shaped."
President Wilson has reached his full
decision and this decision means n
state of war.
In fact, so completely were the pres
ident and his cabinet ugreed that they
even found timo to dispose of matters
of a strictly routine nature; alter de
ciding the international question.
Tim white house also let it be known
that mat torsi aro entirely "satisfac
tory," and this means that the decis
ion is as staled, that the president's
mind is made up, that it is firm against,
(crmnny, and that a statu of war will
bo the next step in the international
situation. ' . at
