Cappcr-Tinclier
Grain Exchange
Bill Is Endorsed
President of Dourd of Trade
Says Most of Proposed Re
forms Already Under
wav
per-Tincher bill for the regulation
yi grain exchanges was endorsed in
principle by Joseph P. Griffin, pres
ident of the Chicago Board of Trade,
testifying before the house agricul
tural committee today.
Mr. Griffin criticised the bill in
some of its details and offered mi-
cation. lie told the committee that
the Chicago Board of Trade had al
ready undertaken to carry out most
of the reforms proposed by the meas
ure, notably by abolishing indem
nity transactions.
"I take it -rliat the only one of
the many bills offered in this con
nection that is receiving serious con
sideration from the committee is the
Tincher bill." said Mr. Griffin. "The
other bills which have been propos
ed are destructive; they would de
stroy the existing marketing ma
chinery. The Tincher bill has many
elements of constructive vatue. In
principle we endorse it; in precise
detail it needs amendment largely
to meet practical developments in the
grain trade."
Mr. Griffin read extracts from the
report of the board of directors of
the board of trade on April 12. rec
ommending numerous changes in the
rules regulating grain transactions
along the lines of the Capper-Tin-cher
bill. He told the committee lie
was pleased to note that the bill
recognized the necessity for hedging
because, he said", "there can be no
hedging without future trading and
there can be no future trading with
out speculation.1'
"A market without hedging would
be like Hamlet without Hamlet," he
said. "It couldn't exist. The fluc
tuations in the grain business would
wipe out the capital of every dealer
if there were no hedging."
Mr., Griff in said that although the
prohibition of indemnity transac
tions would involve a great sacri
fice on the part of some dealers, he
believed this should be done because
such transactions led to "over spec
ulation." Negro Woman Who Is Shot

leg and twice in the right arm,

street, lies wounded, probably mor

Mrs. Brandeis
May Enter Movies
Friends Say She Has Ambi
tious As Producer Alimony
Sufficient Capital.
San Francisco, April 29. (Special
Telegram.) San Francisco friends
of Mrs.-Madeline Frank Brandeis,
divorced w ife of E. John Brandeis of
Omaha, will not be surprised if she
enters the moving picture game, not
as an actress, but as a producer. She
has ambitions in that field, her
friends say, and with the $400,000
alimony which the Omaha courts
have just granted her, she would
represent "capital" even in that in
dustry, which deals so lightly in
"Million-dollar productions."
The first hint that her friends here
had that all was not going happily
in the Brandeis family was when the
young wife aiyl her infant daughter
arrived in San Francisco last winter,
and after a visit . of a few days with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Frank, they departed for southern
California.
Mrs. Brandeis then wrote the
scenario of an allegorical play for
children. Not content with the scale
on which any commercial studio
would produce it, she organized her
own company, built a studio at the
beautiful country home she was oc
cupying and had the picture made
under her direct supervision.
The cost of the production was
said to be $25,000.
Onawa, la., Bank Closed

zens Bank of Onawa, a state insti
tution, was closed today by the

tions and bad loans given as the
cause. On March 22 the deposits
were $114,000. No statement as to
liabilities given out today.

in the hospital for a month or two,
crippled him so he would not be able
to work.
