CHICAGO, Ort. lit). The Chicago
Hoard of Trade today made' its first
juove to test the constitutionality of the
grain futures act when it filed in federal
district court litre a petition for injunc
tion restraining . the government from
. enforcing the provisions of the. act.
The law enacted to take the place of
the former Capper-Tindier act declared
unconstitutional by the Supremo Court
' was paqd to become effective Novem

The bill of complaint, filed by Henry
S, Jtobius, counsel for the board, charges
that tho lav seeks to regulate as inter
Btuto commerce trade that is wholtj
state; that it interferes with Mate rights
to govern exchanges and that it weeks
to deprive board members of their prop

operative bodies and permitting them to
rebate commissions in violation of rules

further charges of unconstitutionality
are made on the ground that the law
makes violation of its provisions a crime

culture, the secretary of cominercc and
"I the attorney general a commission with'

TOISONED CAKE CAUSED
DEATH OF MAN AND WIFE
PHILADELPHIA', Oct. 30. Author
ities today were still ssking a clue to
the sender of the poisoned cake which
killed W. W. tjterrett. of Devon, an :ic
coontaitt, and resulted in an illness
which may cost the life of Mrs. Sterrett.
Dr. Herbert A. Hostoek, coroner 's
physician -of Montgomery county, who
conducted a post-mortem examination of
Mr. Stem-It, declared his belief that
two poisons dovorly mixed by mi expert
pert were placed in the ieeing of the
cake sent t othe Sterretts.
Investigators so far have .made no ap
parent progress in determining who scut
the cake and what the motive was. De
tectives assert od there, were indications
that a woinn nhad di.sputchd the fatal
confection, basing their conclusion upon
teh .neat manner in which the parcel,
which was sent through the mail special
delivery, was wrapped. The address was
typed o a piece of white paper pasted
neat I v on the brown outer wrapper.- The
box was dainty. They also point out
that the cako itself was a home-mad

WOULD CLASSIFY SERVICE
MEN BY OCCUPATIONS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.!. Kxa mi na
tion by army officers of notes taken dur
ing the recent conferences here with a
' l''t't'tp1' Kroul' civilians as to tho prin-
cijnrs which huuuiii govern any i inure
military draft regulations has brought
out several distinct features which the
conferees agreed should apply to the
classification of enlisted jx'isouuol.
For one thing it was the judgment of
the civilian conferees, all of whom had
wur-timo draft" experience, that work
necessary in the army should bo classified
by occupations in order that the classi
fication of men culled to the colors could
lie expedited and their assignments be
based on the similarity of their civil
traiuing and military work they were best
fitted to perform. It was also liolieved
that the classification of men should bo
gin when they were called by local draft
boards and not await ''their arrival at
mobilization centers.
Another point brought out was the
difficulty of dealing in the army with
men of low mental oalilKv. A sugges
tion was made that tho regulations should
prevent such men from being callel for
active military service.
The conferees were in liarmouy also as
to the desirability of using n(en available-only
for limited military fcrvice
from the beginning of the operation of
the draft law and not deferring such
ease for later treatment.
To meet tho problem of dealing with
limited service and occupational sjtecial
ists tho suggestion was made that clear
ing pool centers for each of these groups
might be established anl ; the excess
from the various local boards could !
turned over to these pool for further
assignment. The plan would work espe
cially well in distribution of fcpcciallr
qualified occupational six-cialists, it was
1 hold.

MRS. MILLS MAKES FRANTIC
EFFORT TO ESCAPE DEATH
i
Hoyden Spark, writing iu the New
York Tribune of Saturday, October 2
gives the following graphic word picture
of Mrs. Mills making a frantic efi'ort to
escape when the deadly bullet laid bel
low: "Hef ore hIio was shot down in cold
blood, Mrs. Kleanor Mills made a frantic
attempt to escape from the persons
whom she had just seen kill her sweet
heart, the Itev. Kdward W. Hall. This
information has been given to the au
thorities by Mrs. Jane Gibson, the farm
woman, who says she saw the killings
from the back of a saddle mule.
"One of the officials revealed this to
night, confirming a report that Mrs.
Gibson had made an additional affidavit
in which she told of returning, to the
Phillips farm several hours after wit
nessing the murders and of seeing there
a. woman in a gray coat, kneeling beside
the bodies in the faint light of a quarter
moon, sobbing bitterly.
Murder Held Deliberate.
"Hasing their conclusions on what
Mrs. Gibson bits told them, the authori
ties now have decided that l'r. Hall.'s
murder was not an impulsive act,
prompted by a burst of rain', but that
the rector mid Mrs. Mills were killed
with a cold deliberation that was re
flected in the slashiug of the woman's
throat.
"One of the officials said that they
had Im-cii told that after the clergyman
fell to the ground with a bullet through
his brain Mrs. Mills turned and fled
across the field, .stumbling and falling
every few yards as her fear-stricken
limbs cruuipJed beneath hr. They have
been told that the sexton's wife actually
succeeded ill gliding herself in the weeds
in the field and that the murderers had
to hunt for her, finally focusing a flash
light on her cowering form. Then they
dragged her back to the bleeding form
of her lover and there pumped three bid
lets into her head.
Fought for His Life.
"The official who gave this informa
tion tonight said that before the rector
was shot he had been diiouuced and
cursed for his relations with the choir
singer, and that during this tirade Mrs.
'Mills stood b' clasping nitd unclasping
her hands and whimpering and moaning.
Then there was a fight that ended when
the minister was shot.
"In t host1 portions of Mrs. Gibson's
affidavit that have Ih-cii made public it
was disclosed that the farm woman told
that there was an interval between the
filing of the first shot and the last three.
Now, according to the 'one who told
about it tonight, that interval was caused
by Mrs. Mills- sudden dash into the
darkness.
"If she had escaped she would have
exposed the murderers, of course, and so
their pursuit was as frantic as the choir
singer's flight.
"The second affidavit from Mrs. Gib
son, it is known, tells, substantially, this
story: '
" 'I waited at home for more than an
hour before I got up courage to return
to the Phillips place. Then I mounted
my mule, Jennie, and ome more rode
through De Knssv Lane. When 1 came
to the upot where I had heard ami soon
the shots fired. I dismounted, tied the
Uiiilual and cut into the field.

lfOMLT, Oct. 30. (By The As
oeiated Press.) Benito Mussoliui,
leader of the fascisti, called by King
Victor Emmanuel to form a cabinet.
I arrived in Koine this moruliig.
, Crowds
of tho
ciithuai-
for the
au amii-
, thronging tiie. neighborhood
j railway terminal gave liim an
astic welcome.
I Mussolini left immediately
I Quirinal, where he wao given
once by the King.
The capital was lavishly ' decorated
with flags today but calm was being
maintained. It is befieved tho new
ministry will bo constituted iu tbe
course ot the day. ' '
Whe'the fascisti leader arrive! at
Civitavecchia before . takinir a train
imMfor Koine thousands of fascisti ami
citizens welcomed him. In a short ad
dress Mussolini exhorted the crowds to
remain calm ami patriotic airs went
sung. '
LONDON, Oct. 30. (By The
Associated Press. ) The triumphant
forces of fascisti were ready today to
take over the government of Italy, ac
cording to dispatches. Their Iculer,
Dr. Benito Mussolini, wan sihedulcd to -see
the king and answer the cull of the
sovereign for him to create a new min
istry, to replace the Facta government,
whose downfall was brought about last
week by the growing tide of fascisti
pow-r and sympathy.
Outside the city thousands ot Musso
lini's black shirted followers await tho
cniniiiand that will scud them marching
with proud stop of a victorious unny
through the gates of Home already gay .
with flags and bunting' to celebrate
their entry. -(
CommuiiicHtioii lines leading to the
Italian capital are reported in control
of tho fascisti. Little news of their
activities has come from Italy since
best night when- .Mimsolim . boarded ,a
special train nt Milan to go to Home.
He had just notified the fallen Premier
Facta that ho had no infentiou of en-
I teriug any cabinet formed by any pou-
Itioaii.
lie declared "tho fascisti must go in-
jto power, without alliances with any
other party but granting some portfo
lios outside tho fascisti arty."
The revolt against "tho politicians"
long ago liegun by the fascisti, may of
them vigorous young veterans of tbe
world war, was crowned with success
yesterday when Kig Kmmauuel, greatly
moved, embraced Deputy Di Veechi, ono
of the supremo military authorities of
tho fascisti, told him lie would give
Italy ii government most suited to the
new spirit pervading the eountry aiid
then entrusted Mussolini with tho tusk
,,f to, niiiitr u ministry.
In forming a new cabinet Mussolini
said ho would retain to himself the
portfolios of interior and foreign af
fairs and appoint General Diass minis
ter of war, Admiral Thaon di Keval
minister of finr.uce, and include iu tho
governing body the Catholic deputy
Cnvaxzoni uud the liberal Senator Lu-.
signoli, now, prefect of Milan, confer
ring the other portfolios Upon fascisti.
The eliminating gesture by Musso
liui in asserting his determination t
have the fascisti in absolute control
was made yesterday wheu former Pre
mier Salanzii was asked to form a cabi
net. I" pon hearing of this tho fascisti
leader told former Premier Facta h
i w,(llld not eater a Cabinet with Sulan-
'dra or any other politician. Salaudra
then declined to form a cabinet.
; The offices of the iiewspajs-r Seeolo
at Milan have been "raided and rau
i Racked by a force of 100 nationalists,
i says a dispatch of tbe Stofani agem-y.
The raiders destroyed the newspare's
. machinery . Previous dispatches told
' of tho fascisti iccupation of several
newspaer plants in Koine, including
that of the pro-socialist. H Parse,' ami
the Azione. . ..
The press of Hritnin is divided in ap-
praising .the tasi-isti movement in itu
, hour of .triumph. The -newspaper
J sympathetic to the purposes and uccoin
; plislmient of the black shirted army
;in Italy look-upon the victory of Mus
solini as a "blow for freedom which
; has showu that a nation enn protect it
I self against foes within its own house
hot. I.'' Another section of the press
st-s in the rise of tho fascisti elements
,' of danger that may lead to chaos itt
Italy.
