Bronson's attempt to sell a val uable saddle to Lorig's pawnshop for $10 aroused the suspicion of De tectives Heller and Francl. who were watching him. They took him into custody and he admitted stealing the saddle. Police believe that Bronson has been : engaged in "rustling" auto mobiles. When arrested he had in his possession two large pliers and a flashlight. Lack of Witnesses Causes Postponement of Hearing Ten days have proved insuffi cient for the county attorney and the South Side police court officials to gather state witnesses in the pre liminary hearing of Jacob Kobielak and John Petroski, charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of A. Socha. The hearing was postponed for the third time Saturday morning because there were no state witnesses present. Sunday morning of last week Socha succumbed to the injuries he received when his body was inflated with compressed air from an air pump on the canning floor of the Cudahy Packing company. His two fellow workmen. Tetroski and Kobi elak, are charged with having unin tentionally caused his death.

Arrivals were 10 cara of wheat, 76 cars of corn, 32 cars of oats, 12 cars of rye and six cars of barley. Corn prices ranged from 2 to 6 cents higher, the extreme advance being obtained for choice white grades. A strong demand from millers for this kind for' making corn flour to export was In evidence. All offerings sold readily. Oats were lc advance, the bulk a cent up. Rye was unchanged and barley some higher. Wheat was firm. OMAHA GRAIN MOVEMENT. Receipts Today. Wk. Ago. Tr. Ago.

Notwithstanding that for distant deliveries corn today touched the highest prices yet this season, weak ness prevailed In the market as a whole by reason of Increased offerings to arrive from the country. Quotations closed heavy, c to 2c net lower, with May tl.B64&1.56 and July, $1.48i 1.48. Oats lost io to lc. In provisions the outcome ranged from 10c decline to 40c advance. Selling pressure on corn seemed to be directed chiefly against the May deliv ery. The later months, too, suffered from liquidation but not until the May-July dif ference had become 3c narrower than was the case earlier In the week. Cash houses led the selling of May. One of their rep resentatives said he could not find a man who was sending any bids out to rural holders that buyers were filled up and did not care to accumulate much of a stock at -current premiums. Renewed advices that labor difficulties at Buenos Aires were again threatening to curtail Argentine exports had only a transient bullish effect. Oals followed corn. For the most part trade was. local. Provisions averaged higher with hogs. Prices for the live animals overtopped all records since September.

The market for coffee futures showed a reactionary ten dency today. The demand for near months which had been a factor on the advance of yesterday, was less in evidence, and prices eased under scattered realizing or liquidation, although there seemed to be no change of importance in the news from Brazil, and. there was some scat tered buying on the more optimistic view of peace prospects. The only sale reported in July was at 14.90c, or even with last night's closing price, but that delivery closed at 14.80c bid, while December sold off to 14.05c, or ten points net lower.

Cash Conaignmenta Solicited. French Girl, Hero's Daughter, Educated by Yankee Officers Taris, April 5. In France, where charitable institutiora are scarcer than in the United States, it fre quently happens that people be queath money for charitable pur poses to the French Academy, which is a literary organization founded by Louis XIV, of 40 members who are supposed to be immortal. As a matter of fact some of them are not widely known while stilt alive, but as a body the Academy has a reputation for stability, re spectability and financial solidity, ft reputation that might be envied by a trust company. There are several hundred liter ary prizes to be regularly distributed. Some of them are so small that in these days of high prices it is al most insulting to receive them and 'since the Academy started the cus tom of splitting them up, some shares do not even pay a respect able restaurant bill. A while ago a disappointed writer asked when the Academy would begin to crown lit erary works with a dollar reward. Among the charitable bequests which the worthy literary gentlemen (Marshals Joffre and Foch are among them, and Georges Clemen ceau has been elected, after having mocked the Academy all bis life) have to administer and distribute are many unusual ones. One of the re cent bequests was a fund of 12,000 francs ($2,400') which a group of American artillery officers at the Camp de Mailly, in Champagne, had collected and donated for the educa tion of the daughter of a French man killed at the front, preferably a girl born near Camp de Mailly. The beneficiary is to carry the in signia of the American naval artil lery, two crossed cannon, as f sou venir of her benefactors. If there is j any money left when she is grown up she is to have it as a dot. it is such gifts that will best commemo rate the American Expeditionary Force in France.
