continued bullish character of south
ern spot advices. The market 'was
quiet but prices held steady within
a few points of the best around mid
day. ,
Demand-'seemed to broaden some
what during the early afternoon
when New Orleans was a buyer here
and there was considerable cover
ing on teh reports of firm spot mar
kets and delayed farm work in the
south. May sold up to 33.57 and July
to 32.33 or 2 to 8 points net higher
but prices were 14 or 15 points off

CHICAGO, (Wednesday), Jan. 30.
There was a grealty improved trade
in wheat today and of importance
was the broadening in outside trade,
particular! yon the buying side.
A bull market on wheat is under
way and the professional traders ace
beginning to recognize this fact,
some of the more active coming out
openly with bullish statements. Light
primary receipts and the decreasing
stocks are factors that favor a high
er range of values but of more im
portance is the broadening in the
milling demand for wheat with only
a partial survey showing 50,000
bushels sold to outside mills by the
local yards.
Liverpool strength indicates the
imperative need of English buyers
and there is a possibility of further
good export sales, overnight accep
tances being 250,000 bushels. The
change in foreign exchange rates
were not big enough to cut much of
a figure.
Wheat closed 1-2 to 1 1,-4 cents
higher. May .sl,lO 3-8 to sl,lO 1-2:
Julv. $1.09 to 'sloß 7-8; September,
SI,OB 1-4 to SI,OB 3-8.
Corn was inclined to drag early
but a. good rally was recordci about
mid-day, with much of the early de
cline recorded. Commission houses
sold and caused locals to take the
short side. Good support was uncov
ered on the dip and about mid-day
the buybing by bull leaders frighten
ed shorts into covering. Cash situ
ation was weak with discounts half
a cent wider. Baltimore exporters
told of buying back No. 2 corn from
abroad a/t a price equal to 4 cents
under May track Chicago. Boston
distributors said stocks are lc%v but
buyers are bearish and buying from
hand-to-mouth. Battle Creek. Mich.,
industries told of buying corn two
cents under Chicago offers.
Corn closed 1-2 to 3-4 cents lower.
May, 79 l-2c to 79 5-8 c; July, z ßoc to
79 7-8 c; September. SO 3-4 c to 80 5-Bc.
Oats followed the trend of corn.
Trade was not very active. Country
sold a few cars of oats to arrive.
Oats were unchanged to 1-8 cents
higher. May. 48 7-Sc; July, 46 3-Sc:
September, 43 l-2c.
Provisions were easier in sympathy
with hogs.
Lard closed unchanged to 20 cents
lower and ribs 7 1-2 cents lower.

In a note to her father, found

“Margaret.”
Stanley Hawkes, head of the bu
reau of information of the state de
i partment, who hurried to Boston

: letter from Miss Harding, written
' shortly before her death, returned
1 to Washing'on last night and did
1 not attend the funeral. He is en
: gaged to another girl, it is under
. stood.
Mr. Harding said in his statement:
1 “Today was the first time I ever
heard my daughter's name linked
with that of Hawkes. 1 told this
1 fellow to go back to Washington,
■ that there was nothing he could do
I here.’’ /
She arrived in Boston Friday
morning and I went to the station
to /neet her. “L'pon her arrival home
I she was too ill to talk. I told her
i 1 had planned to go to Washington
that night but would postpone the
trip if her illness was serious. She
| begged me to go and keep nly ap
pointment by all means and then
went to her own room saying; 'l'm
tired. Leave me alone.’ ”
Mr. Harding said he went to
Washington that night and cn the
way back stopped over in New
York to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Thayer. The latter informed him
that she had received a telephone
call frpm Margaret the evening be
fore stating that she was on the
verge of a nervous collapse. Satur
day at noon Mrs. Thayer tee
phoned Margaret, Mr. Harding said,
and the girl said she was feeling
much better.
Informed By Maid
“While I was out shopping with
the Thayers that afternoon, one of
the maids tried to reach me by tele
phone,” Mr. Harding said. “On
learning this I called my home in
Boston and the maid told me to
come home at once. I asked her if
anything serious had happened and
she referred me to Dr. G. A. Water
man. Dr. Waterman told me Mar
garet was dead.”
Shortly after 2 o’clock the maid
went to the room with a tray of
food and rapped on the door, but
there was no response. Calling an
other maid, she forced an entrance
and found Miss Harding dying.
The two women summoned Dr.
Waterman, who notified the medical
examiner.
Dr. G. A. Watterman said Miss
Harding called him to her home Fri
day. He said she informed him that
she thought herself on the verge of
a. nervous collapse, but felt better
and made an appointment to see him
at his office Saturday afternoon.
One of her sisters, Alice, is Mrs.
R. T. Pell, of New York. The other,
Mary Flfzabeth, was divorced early
last year in Paris from Frederick H.
Prince, Jr., of Boston, and later in
the year married Eugene V. R.
Thayer, former president of the
Chase National bank, of New York.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday afternoon at the chapel of
the Massachusetts Cremation society
in the Forest Hills district. They
were conducted by Rev. Abbot Pe
terson, of Brookline.

MILLIONAIRE BOOTLEGGER’S

GEORGE REMUS, Cincinnati
for conspiracy to violate the natioi
| Mrs. Imogene Remus, who will
Mrs. Imogene Remus Hunts
House Within Sight of Fed
eral Penitentiary Where
Husband Is Serving
Mrs. Imogene Remus will move to
Atlanta, and locate within sight of
the local federal penitentiary, where
her husband, George Remus, Cin
cinnati millionaire, last Friday be
gan serving a two-year sentence for
conspiracy to violate the National
prohibition act.
“I’ll move within a block of the
prison, if it can be arranged,” she
declared Monday from the hotel
where she is stopping. It was the
first time that she had consented
to discuss the case since arriving in
Atlanta on tne saipe train which
brought Remus and twelve as
sociates here in a private ear.
“My husband is a big man; he al
ways hag been a big man wherever
he lived, and I don't expect this in
cident to hurt him,” she said. “And
Im his side partner—always havi
been, an a real partner doesn’t de
sert in a moment of bad luck. I'm
going to stick by him.
Rich S -pport Bootleggers
About the prohibition law. You
can say this much to the public; If
the millionaires did not buy the
u hisky, there would be no such
flagrant violations of the Volstead
law. The poor man can’t afford to
buy the stuff, at present prices. It
takes big capital to swing the deals
and I'll bet you nave some rich
men here in Atlanta engaged in the
same kind of business.
“It isn’t such a heinous crime,
you know—like stealing money or
dishonesty in business, i haven’t no
ticed any such different opinion
down here from what one finds in
the north.”
Mrs. Remus will leave within a
few days for Cincinnati to close their
home, which is considered one of
the show paces of the Ohio city.
Then she plaits to return here, ac
companied by her daughter, Ruth,
who is sixteen years old, and the two
will take up their residence as near
the prison as possible.
“I’m sorry about all those reports
that I was going to buy a home and
try to crash Atlanta society,” she
said. “In the first place, I never had
any such plans; and also, it wouldn't
be light. I am just coming here to
b«- as near my husband as possible,
so that I can aid him in any possible
way.”
Mrs. Rerhus declared ten of the
thirteen men convicted in the cele
brated “Death Valley case” in Cin
cinnati, which sent Remus and hisj
associates to the federal penitentiary,
were innocent of any wrong. She
said they were caught on the farm
at the time of the raids, but had no
connection with any violation of the
I rohibition law. The convictions took
piace in 1121, but hard-fought ap
peals delayed the men from begin
ning their sentences.
Lenine’s Body Rests
In Unfinished Tomb
Beside the Kremlin
MOSCOW. Jan. 28.—The body of !
Nikolai Lenine lies in an unfinished
tomb in the shadow of the Kremlin,
whither it was carried yesterday
while a half-million people paid
their tribute to the man they hon
ored as the ‘‘commander of a new
humanity.”
The casket rests on an elevated
platform in the mausoleum's sunken
central chamber ov«r the door to
which is the word “Lenine” in relief
letters. The double wooden walls
are filled Avith sawdust so the tem
perature may be maintained at three
degrees below zero. Over these walls
from the ceiling hang draperies of
red and black bearing the imprint
of the sickle and the hammer, the
symbols of the state.
Never has the new Russia seen
a ceremony more impressive than
the entombment of Lenine. Begin
ning early in the morning the civil
mass of the house gs unions, thou
sands gathered in the vicinity of
red square awaiting the coming of
the* funeral procession. It was 30
degrees below zero.
During the march to the mau
soleum, the pallbearers were chang
ed at frequent intervals and all
the high officials of soviet Russia i
took their turn in helping to carry
the casket.

FORD DECLINES BID

ON SHOALSOFFER
WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.—Henry
Ford today informed the house mil
itary committee he thought it un
necessary for himself or any repre
sentative to appear before the com
mittee to further discuss his offer
for Muscle Shoals.
“Further hearings.” said Mr. Ford
in telegram to Chairman Kahn,
“would only serve to delay action
and unnecessarily consume the time
of a busy and important committee
of congress already in possession of
all the facts.”
“Your committee has had our pro
posal before it for practically two
years,” Mr. Ford said. “Mr. Mayo,
our representative, has appeared be
fore you on numerous occasions and
every phase of our offer has been
fully inquired into and explained.
Yotir com’mitt.ee has, therefore, re
ported to congress two bills provid
ing for acceptance of our offer. I
know of nothing that we can add
that would be helpful to you.”
Benjamin C. Marsh, Washington,
managing director of the Farmers’
National council, appearing before
the house opposed the
acceptance of any bids, declaring it
was time for the government to de
velop the nation’s resources for the
benefit of the “common people.”
