Most trading eyes were centered on Chicago where the board of trade authorities pulled the “peg” on pre-|A' vious restrictions and wheat, corn, oats, rye and ‘barley dropped the full allowable daily limit. Wheat at Win- nipeg also sagged around 2 cents a bushel. Cotton, apparently in sym- ,Pathy with the grain situation, slumped about $2 a bale at one time. Bonds were heavy. The dollar was steady in foreign exchange dealings. Stocks mulled about rather. dully ‘about noon when a half-hour selling flurry toppled the list for losses of '1 to around 5 points. The ticker tape moved rapidly for a while, but the rush was short-lived and most of the leaders steadied and regained Portions of their declines.

Harvey Bailey, also identified by the department of justice as one of the machine gunners who mowed down four officers and Frank Nash, fugitive convict, at the Kansas City Union station plaza June 17, faces ar- raignment before a United States commissioner, along with four com- panions. All are charged with kid- naping Urschel from his Oklahoma City home the night of July 22. Ur- schel was returned nine days later. The five have been held incommuni- cado in jail here since department of justice agents, aided by officers from Dallas and Fort Worth, made a quick raid at dawn Saturday on an obscure farmhouse in the sandy hills near Paradise, Texas, and seized Bailey as he slept. ‘Those taken into custody along with Bailey were Mr. and Mrs. R. G. “Boss” Shannon, in whose farmhouse Bailey was hiding, Shannon’s son, Armon, and the latter’s wife. Federal warrants for Bailey and the other four were received Tuesday.
