\V arm Weather Endangers Wheat, Says N. B. Updike Spring Wintis Will Be Disas (rous Without Rain. Asserts Omahan Back from Cuba and South. X. B. Updike, head of the Updike Grain company, who returned a few days ago from a trip which included Cuba and some of.the southern states, is vitally interested in better prices for tile grain growers of this state. 11s stated that cotton prices in the south have reached a level com parti ble with prewar prices, whereas he ob serves that corn today will buy only half as much cotton as it would In 19l3. "I never, since y lived in Nebras kaj heard-so much about dry weather as we are hearing at the present time,” said Mr. Updike. ' Farmers in general are very pessimistic over the wheat crop. It is hard to find one that thinks his wheat will make mote than 30 per emt of a crop if we had plenty of moisture from now on. If we do not- get rain before our spring winds start, I believe Nebraska will not raise much wheat this year, as the ground is as dry as powder and the wind would be very disastrous.” "I agree that March will be a criti cal month for the wheat,” said Jo seph IT. Wright, jr., of the Nobras ka-Iowa Grain company, "if wo can maintain the present values of wheat at $1 and corn at tin cents, I believe that the farmers will be In much bet tertfinancial condition next year, pro vided they raise another crop. As to wheat, there must be a demand in excess of the supply to obtain high prices. Wheat is different from cot ton-in that there is more competi tion in the marketing of the former.” Edward G. Taylor of the Taylor 8w$nick Grain company asserted that this is a critical time for wheat In Nebraska. Farmers in the district around Uottp City are holding their grain on an count of conditions, and I believe they will get better prices. I agree that, the piircnuvng power of wheat and grain for cotton or machinery is only nbout one half of what it was during prewar period.” Cbmnicntlnfr fttttner on the situa tion, Mr. Updike said: ‘‘I believe that the United States will be able to use whpt wheat the farmers ratse this year without ex porting very much regardless 6f vvliat happens from now on." Use a fork when creaming blitter and sugar? and the process will be hastened?

Kan., Feb. 27.—They; took away his name anti gave him a [number, but it didn’t change Timo thy Daniel Murphy a bit. “Big Tim," famous "joiner.” was still "Big Tim” after he had affiliated himsulf. by government request, with the fraternity at Fort Leavenworth federal prison today, and had been “dressed in” as prisoner 1S990. Mr. Murphy, distinguished in well tailored clothes and fawn-colored fe dora hat, gazed quizzically up,at the prison yesterday. “So this is the hoarding house. Some dump," mused the labor czar as he strutted, imperious as a peacock, up tho stairs. Prisoner 18990, simple and guileless in plain blue denim of classic lines and conventional 'cut, poked his long head out from behind a layer of iron bars and gazqd down at tho deputa tion of United Htates marshals loav- i ing this afternoon. Still Game. "Hey, you bozoes, be sure youse gets ynut- return tickets right away,” and the. prisoner beginning a four year stretch for the Dearborn street station $985,000 mail robbery smiled a game smile. The denim uniform made “Big Tim" 1 awkward; the rule book orders made | him humble, the guards saw to it ' that he was a “pattern” man," but hoi was still tile genial, picturesque boss i to the prisoners who maneuvered for a place near him. Guards boasted that they knew him, life-timers almost gig gled as he exchanged Jokes with (he boys he knew. For a few moments “Big Tim" was a prison welfare worker, as he en | livened the day for each of the 2,387 Prisoner 18990. men on the welcoming committee. "Say, this is a hell of a place for a business agent; pipe this will you." and the labor leader pointed a mani cured linger at rule 21 in the book; "No ribbons, badges or decorations, except those authorized by rules or orders, will be allowed on your cloth ing.^’ Swell for .Mamma Hoys. "That's a swell racket for t>e mam ma boys." he murmured, "but what about the guys who belong to the jani tors' union, the w indow washers gang, the motion picture janitors’ union and all the other little clubs I pay dues to?”i Murphy, with Vincenzo Cosmano the Italian partner In the mail rob bery, and five United Slates marshals arrived at Fort Leavenworth early yesterday.

Washington, Feb. 26.—Prospects for consolidation of western and south western railroads, which have been tentatively prepared since the passage of the transportation act. were favor ably discussed by officials of major carriers in that territory appearing before the Interstate Commerce com mission. Carl Gray of Omaha, president of the Union Pacific, said the linking up of that system with the present line of tlie Chicago & Northwestern would probably work out (o advant age, inasmuch as the two carriers at present interchange a large volume of their traffic. The Union Pacific which lias hitherto sought to have the Central Pacific included with Hi in any consolidation protect, would now be satisfied to leave that line to the Southern Pacific, which owns it at present, under terms of a recent decision providing for traffic inter change between railroads involved. Hewis J. .Spencer, director of lruffle for the Southern Pacific, which, under the government consolidation plan, would he combined with the Rock Inland, stressed the necessity which he said existed for keeping all the component parts of the first named railroad together in any consolidation. The Rock Island could he merged with the Southern Pacific safely, he concluded, only if tire atlantic steam ship lines of the southern system were continued in operation with the railroad as at present. Th° Central Parifio, likewise, ha contended must ho included in the new combination as it has been held in the Southern Pacific system, in order to provide efficient transportation machinery. T, M. Sohmacher, president of the Ml Paso and Southwestern while hav ing no particular objection to the proposals to consolidate his lme In the Rock Island-Southern Pacific merger, said (he whole theory of < onsollda (ion was wrong. It would, In his opinion, decrease competition, lower efficiency and bring into existence transportation units too unwieldy and cumbersome for management.

Rockefeller Works of Art W oven in 1 450 for Duke of de la Roche foucauld Hanging in Rcsi dense of Oil Magnate. New York, Fell. 27.—Six tapestries woven about 1450 for the Duke de la Rochefoucauld, the whereabouts of which recently was made the subject of an official inquiry in Paris, are hanging In the home of John D. Rockefeller, jr., the New Yorlf Eve ning Post said it had learned yester day. According to the newspaper. tli» tapestrlA were shown In the Ander son galleries here last November and admission was by card only. On the third day the tapestries were sudden ly withdrawn by an American collec-, tor for $1,000,000. Although something of a mystery was made of the matter at the time, no general interest was aroused un'il disappearance of Jhe tapestries was noted in Paris and the Don Soir and other publications addressed various questions to the minister of fine arte, with the usual protest against France 1 losing Its art treasures. Controversy then developed over the question of whether Count Gabriel de ! la Rochefoucauld ever had promised not to permit the historic tapestries | to leave France, and whether a sale would not violate French law. Miles Bosworth. architect, admitted that the tapestries had been pur chased by Mr. Rockefeller through himself as agent. He declared, how ever, that the tapestries were now in transit from London and had never been in the Rockefeller home.
