When stolen It was practically new car. the car, which had been issued to Abbott. Chicago police notified Abbott's in Ht, Louis, while Marshall Field Co. of Chicago, where the two had been employed, sent two of their employes Appcl.

here to Identify The two, It was learned, had become acquainted several years ago when Abbott left the city and took up residence on the Appcl farm near Beriton Harbor for health. Later both had gone to Chicago, where School Board Asks City For Lights in Parking Few Bills to Br Paid in Final Session of Year Alderman Wright of the Seventh ward referred to the finance committee of the City Council last night a petition from the Board of Education thnt two street lights be placed at city expense in the park- Ing the ground for automobiles that school board having com- they secured employment at the Marshall Field store.

The men were so mutilated that Identification wns rendered extremely difficult, There was a scarcity of papers on their persons to Indicate who they might be. Search of the bodies of the two men was discouraging so far as revealing clues to their Identity. The automobile license was fotuid to have been issued to Charles A. Abbott of 76 East Goethe street, Chicago. Papers indicated ho was employed by Marshall Field Co.

On the person of tho other man was found a receipted garage bill made out to a Mr. Apple by a garage In Bomo Michigan town. The bill was a year old and nearly illegible. In tho car were two grips containing personal belongings of the men, but nothing of much value In solving the mystery as to their identity. Tho men were well dressed and both young.

They were abundantly supplied with money. The bodies of the two will be sent to Chicago from here for burial. Tho coroner's Jury held tho inquest was composed ot Roy Thatcher, H. 8. Farrcl), George Collenborger.

D. E. Beaty, Parker Dunham, and O. P. Randolph.

Two Minor Crashes Two minor automobile accidents were reported to the police department Monday collisions und no one injured In either crash. At 8:30 p. cars of Bonner Wells of 726 Park Drive and Robert Rust of 3002 Edgcwood avenue collided at the Intersection of Pearl and Park Drive. At 10:10 p. m.

a ncdiin of Frank Regas of 28 West Broadway and a light truck of James Hanlon ot 1230 Belle street collided at Ninth and Market street. Miss Schubert Injured Miss Josephine Schubert, whose home was given as Alton, is in City Hospital, St. Louis, following an automobile accident In that city, Sunday night. The automobile driven by her brother, Frank, collided with a street car. The brother was injured but Miss Schubert was said by physicians to have suffered a probably fracture of the skull, a lacerated scalp and body pleted in the Alton High School grounds.

It was urged a.s necessary that this parking ground should be permanently lighted to discourage unauthorized parking at times when the high school building was not in use and that tho city might provide the lights under its street lighting appropriation. The matter was referred to the lights committee for recommendation. The city, It was said, now is spending about $35,000 for lights, tind for three years has been unable to place additional lights for want of funds with which to pay for lore. A complete reorganization, It has 3ccn hoped, will make possible more lighting of the city, provide lights for new subdivisions, and yet lot Increase costs beyond what the city can raise money to pay for. The only bills before tho comnilt- last night were those for pay of election officials at the city-township election last Tuesday, which otalcd $900, and the bill for refuse disposal for the bl-wcckly period.

Publicity Has Made Census Work Easier Counters Find People Well Informed on Task a Help Farm Job Pays Poorly Some Workers Quit Hut Must Complete Undertaking Wlillo many amusing incidents Imvc occurred In course of the federal population count in the local district and the enumerators on many occasions have had their pa- tlencfi tried, the general attitude of the public with regard to the work of the census takers 1ms been one of helpful co-operation, it was said today at the office of the district supervisor, Oren Shcarburn, in City Hall here, One enumerator who worked on tho 1920 census told a reporter that her work this time had been made much easier by the helpful nttltude of the residents of licr enumeration area. "I have been courteously received at every home where I have called," she said. "Many persons, I have found, read the census questions in the newspaper and have the answers looked up and ready for me. Others have made every effort to Rive the exact Information asked by the Census Bureau, and my work lias been made much easier than I expected by the kindly way I have been received and the evident desire of nearly everyone to co-operate," Five White House Widows Now Mrs. Taft Joins Wives of Wilson, Roosevelt, Cleveland and Harrison Information Calls Decrease That tho work of making the Profit Taking Sets Back Wheat Prices Speculative; Selling Also Lowers Values CHICAGO, April 8, Profit- making sales led to a pronounced setback in wheat prices today toward the past, after an early brisk advance.

There was also a good deal of speculative selling late because sf opinions expressed in some quarters that unfavorable crop reports had been fairly well discounted, and Lhat for the time being the market had exhausted possibilities on 'the upside. It was pointed out that campara- tivcly few reports of actual damage arc being received from the southwest or west, and that seeding is progressing In the northwest. Wheat closed unsettled, 1 l-2-2c a bushel lower than yesterday's finish. Corn closed 1-2-1 l-4c down, oats 3-8-5-8 off, and provisions unchanged to 20c decline. Failure of the general list to respond appreciably to pool activities in various issues caused late professional movement, which particularly affected U.

S. Steel, American Telephone and Radio. Some of the amusement group continued to benefit, by short covering, especially Warner Brothers Pictures. United Aircraft again broke below 05 In the final hour. J.

I. Case rose more than points. The close was steady. Sales approximated 4,500,000 shares. population count Is proceeding smoothly is shown by the lessening number of queries being received from enumerators at the district census office here.

During the first few days, Mrs. Vcrna M. Huber, chief assistant supervisor, and her stafT were swamped with questions and requests for rulings on technical points with regard to the census. Now that the enumerators are more familiar with their work, the calls to the district office here have dropped to a comparatively small number each day. The work of the census takers also seems to be progressing faster as they become more experienced.

The work of making up the general farm schedules by the rural enumerators, however, continues a somewhat tedious task for them. i One or two in Bond and Clinton I wanted to throw up their jobs and quit early in this week. Month For Rural Check The census takers in the rural arena receive 50 cents each for making the farm schedules. After taking out the cost of operating automobiles to cover their districts, they reached the conclusion that this remuneration was far from satisfactory. No resignations, however, were accepted by the district office here.

Enumerators were told It was up to them to finish the job they had undertaken. Weather thus far has been highly satisfactory for the rural enumerators. The lack of rainfall, bewailed by farmers, has made even tho worst roads passable for the census takers on their visits to Isolated farm homes. It was expected by the Census Bureau that It would require at least a month to finish the rural enumeration, and the progress being made in the local district would appear to make this estimate appear conservative.

Pierce, editor 'of the Huntsville, Alabama, Times, who was betori the'Senate lobby qommlttqe, that he was a "coward" and Pierce retorted that Black was a "contemptible cur." Black had been questioning Pierce about a $1,000 check sent him by J. W. Worthington, chairman of the executive committee of the Tennessee River Improvement Association, which Pierce said was for expenses in connection with the association's work in behalf, of private ownership and operation of Muscle Shoals. Asserting that Black was reflecting on him, Pierce declared his insinuations were a "comtemptlble lie." "I'll see you outside about that," Black retorted. "Everybody knows you are by nature a coward." Leaping to his feet, Pierce shouted: "We'll go outside right now." Black replied that the matter could wait for settlement.

Black replied that the matter could wait for settlement. "Then you admit you are a contemptible Her," Pierce demanded. "No," Black shot back. "I admit you arc." Senator Walsh, Democrat. Montana, pounded for order but the outbreak was quickly renewed.

"I rise to the point of personal privilege," Pierce shouted, leaping again to Ills feet. "This man Black," he asserted, "said I was known as a coward. I call him a contemptible cur In return." Walsh had great difficulty in obtaining order but he finally quieted the tumult and in a few minutes the committee adjourned until tomorrow. William H. Stayton, of Washington, president of the board of directors of the association against the prohibition amendment is expected to be a witness tomorrow.

Louis. Young was convicted last week. "I'm not doing this for any sympathy I have for you, but I am doing It for others who are involved," Judge Miller said.

Conferees Agree On Senate Manganese Dutv Bpnito Mussolini has made Italy a working: nation, one that has bal- nnccd Its budget, revived business and now Is destined to become one of the great nations of the world said Harold Lofd Varney In an addrcs- to the Klwanls Club, Monday Is a representative of the Italian Historical Society of Columbia University. Members of Rotary niid Ihchangc were guests of Klwanls at the meeting.

Varney was assigned to studv of Italy In 1022 by the society he said, and prior to that time had been a newspaper man in Chicago He traced the history of the Fascist mdvement and In his narrative told of things done by the man who today rules Italy with an iron hand When he went to Italy in 1922 Varncy said, there wero 17 political parties, all with different viewpoints all ambitious, with the result government was not possible, in a year Mussolini had miuii "one happy family." Mussolu. became the man of the h6' added. Three-Fold Achievement The achievement of Mussolini aside from the cessation of internal bickering-, he listed as three-fold; diplomatic, economic and commercial. "Mussolini stabilized the lira; he drove out socialism and communism; he has settled the labor problem- Italy today Is a solid unit." Varney expressed the belief thnt Italy will carry on, In the event of the Duce's death. The dictatorship at Rome differs from the ill-fated attempt of the late de Rivera in Spain, he.

said, and from most dictatorships, in that it has been constructed to carry on even after the death of the dominant personality. "He has reduced the war debt, he has balanced budget that formerly was two and a half billion lira short and made unnecessary the Issue of bonds to meet the deficit; he has taken graft out of the government, reduced by 20 percent the cost of operating the government railroads and telegraph lines; he has stopped strikes." Stopping 1 Strikes Before Mussolini, strikes cost 30.000,000 working hours to 3,500,000 people, Varney said, but under Mussolini's plan of collecting bargaining, and Fascist trade unions, a judicial tribunal has been set'up to settle labor-employer differences, and tatt- urc to agree there takes tho dispui to the court of appeals composed experts and failure to follow orders of the appeals court brings the heavy penalties of the law, In two and a half years of this law's operation, there have been no strikes, Varney said. "Mussolini's ambitions often have been misconstrued," Varney concluded," and he has been accused of selfish alms. He Is not bellgerent, has no war aims, but wants only to- make Italy great, and he is succeeding-. America should congratulate Italy, extend to it the warm handclasp of friendship." Sand.
