Chicago Tribune -Omaha Bee Lred Wire. Chicago, April " 27. "Harry James," the silk mask burglar, who staged a most dramatic battle in a police station Sunday night and finally died with. 20 bullets through his body and brain after seriously wounding two policemen, was not a "lone wolf in the field of crime. Search is being made for, his two women pals, who rode in a costly limousine and assisted him in lo cating rich treasures and afterward in stealing it. He was identified' as James Har rigan, former operative for a big loop detective agency. There had been hopes the body would be iden tified as that of Edward Moore, the "Hoosier Kid," whom police and numerous victims would be pleased to identify as a corpse Numerous witnesses have been found who had seen Harrigan, and two womeii, always ,in a big limousine, driving about the "Gold Coast," presumably locating the resi dences that were to be' robbed at convenience. ' Harrigan rented a warehouse in which he stored the stolen property, loads of oriental rugs, expensive draperies, furs, clothing, trunks filled with jewelery and silver, hundreds of pairs of silk stocking and many silk skirts. ' - . s , The "police today hauled out three patrol wagon loads of this Toot for identification. Harrigan kept a list of his stealings, the date, name, and where the stuff was sold. In addition to loot worth many thousands, he has, disposed of, the stolen property in, his storehouse is valued, at more than $100,000. -The pojice say it would have been impossible for one man, even as fast a worker as Har rigan, to have accumulated so much property. Much of it is believed to have been stolen in- other cities by a gang of which Harrigan was the head. Convention Delegates Are Honored at Kearney Kearney, Neb.. April 27. (Spe cial.)

Bee Want Ads Are Best Business Boosters. t'hlrato Trlbune-Omahft Itos I.raard Wlr. Washington, April 27. Apprehen sion over the rising price of sugar and' further increase predicted led to- the summoning to Washington by Attorney General Taltner of sugar refiners of the country, who conferred for hours Monday with Howard Figg, special assistant to the attorney general in charee of profiteering and high cost cases. Following the conference the De partment of Justice and the refiners were silent concerning their deliberations-. TRe department, it is under stood, asked co-operation from the Refineries in eliminating sugar profit eering and hoarding. The unneces sary middleman and the sugar spec ulator are also understood to have come up for discussion. Take No Action. The representatives left the meet ing with no definite plan of action yet agreed upon. The session will be continued. - , Representative Tinkham 5f Massa chusetts, republican, who introduced the resolution to investigate the action of Mr. Palmer in connection with the price on Louisiana sugar,' has prepared a survey of the sugar situation, in which he places the blame for the present high prices and the scarcity of the commodity on the 'non-action of the president of the United States in August and September last, and in part to the action of the attorney general jn November last." He said the in vestigation already made by the committee . had "established these these facts beyond contradiction," and added: . President Is Blamed. "In August and September last, the sugar equalization board recom mended in two communications to the president the great desirability of purchasing the Cuban 1920 crop. Otherwise, it asserted there would be a very great increase in the price of sugar and a geat scarcity in 1920. It is stated that the Cuban crop could be purchased for six and orte-half i cents per ' pound at"Tht.t time which was an advance of only one cent per pound above the 1919 price and would have allowed sugar to retail in the United States in 1920 at 11 and 12 cents per pound. "The action which the sugar equalization board recommended could legally have been approved by the president. He, however, with held his approval and has never as serted his reasons for doing so. Raps Palmer Action. "In 'November last when sugar, was selling at retail at 10 cents per pound Tn the United States under the control of the sugar equalization board and at 6 S per pound in Cuba, the attorney general concurred in a price of 17 cents and 18 cents at the plantation for Louisiana sugar, thus giving as it were, an official government price for raw sugar. The effect of this action in part was to advance the Cuban price. In De cember the Cuban price had ad vanced to over lyj cents per pound and it is now quoted at ' cents. "The advance in price of sugar of two cents per pound means an addi-. tionftl cost per annum to American consumers of $j 80,01)0,000. As the price of Cuban'sugar has now -advanced front b'A cents to 18J4 cents, if. his level is maintained there is a difference of over a billion dollars in the cost of sugar the consumers in the United States for 1920 Over what it would have cost' the Ameri can consumer if the Cuban crop had been nurchasld at tVi cents by the sugar equalization board as it recom mended to the president."
