F.J. MAGIN, NOTED GRAI BROKER, DS Was'Intimate of “0ld Hutch” of Plunging Days When Millions Flowed. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, March 20.—The up-| roarious grain trading days of the '80s| were recalled yesterday by old-timers | ‘when the Board of Trade ticker clicked off the news that Frank J. Magin, one | of the best known brokers 40 years ago, | had died in Orlando, Fla. | For years Magin was a prominent | figure on the floor, prominent because | of his comparatively small stature and | his plercing voice, which was. effective | above even the greatest uproar and be- | , cause he was an Intimate associate and | the broker of B. P. Hutchinson—"Old | Hutch” of plunging fame. Millions Won and Lost. VENING Pony Guest at Ball OLDEST POLO MOUNT IN UNITED STATES ARMY. STAR, WASHINGT! D. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 20, NEVADA WIS RACE FOR EASY DIORCE Beats Arkansas and Idaho by Two Weeks—Gambling Is Legalized. By the Associated Press. CARSON CITY, Nev, March 20— Virtually all forms of gambling became legal in Nevada today and the path of the divorce seeker will be shortened May 1 as the result of two bills signed yesterday by Gov. Fred B. Balzar. In championing legalized gambling Nevada took a step toward the so-called good old days. In the divorce measure she will become the only State in the Union in_which a person may establish legal qualifications in six weeks t> sue for a divorce. Arkansas and Idaho re- cently adopted bills requiring three months’ residence. | Another measure designed to facilitate islature yesterday. It provides that Ghvorce eases may be heard in private and that complaints and property set- tlements may be sealed, thus preventing their publication. With the licensing of houses of chance, some cf which have been oper- ltlnf several years without benefit of legality, Nevada again may see the high life of a half century ago, when her mountains were ylelding millions of dollars in silver and gold to free-spend- ing, quick-shooting and otherwise ad- venturous individuals.

MILLIONAIRE DIES AS PRAYERS ASKED Alleged Trespasser and Wife | Answered When Hoping Complainant Dies. | By the Associated Press. Married Man Who Admitted Going | KANSAS CITY, March 20—A post- lude to a stroke which killed Miiton Thompson, millionaire landowner, ap- peared today in the story of Steve Ray- sik, who said he and his wife prayed for Thompson’s death following their ar- rest on trespassing charges. Raysik, an unemployed wire worker, said he and his wife had been seining creek: and rivers for minnows to sup- port their four children. They were ar- rested yesterday on one of Thompsuns farms and were taken to Lees Summit, Mo., to appear before T. P, Gunn, jus- tice of the peace. ‘While Thompson talked to the justice Raysik said he and Mrs. Raysik, held outside the court room, prayed that the later they were informed he had passed away from a heart attack. Raysik recited his story in broken English. “We are sorry,” he sal mean to us.* peop! am no thief. I was just trying to make & living for my family.” Lapland Gets Bus Service. STOCKHOLM (N.AN.A.) —Sweden has decided to run a bus service into Lapland. It will start where the rail- way ends and run for 70 miles into Northern Lapland. It may, of course, be supplying what the advertisers call a long-felt want, but somehow the idea of a Lapp running for his morn- ing bus and the further thought of petrol stations in the Arctic Circle are difficult to entertain.

Frost damage, lessening of the European wheat supply and an unex- pected crop disaster in the Northwest sent prices soaring.
