Palman, head of the National University of Science, in which he declared father of William Nelson McClintock and chief beneficiary of his will, had been "one week" student at his university and that when he left, three tubes of deadly germ culture had disappeared with him. The moves were to include: Summoning of Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd to the state's attorney's office, where they will be confronted with Dr. Palman's statements. A request to the grand jury from the state's attorney's office to take up the alleged "tampering" with witnesses.

Dr. Palman today was held under guard at a local hotel while the state's attorney's office team seemed with the efforts to close the net in the long drawn-out probe. The admissions which brought the investigation to its tense point since charges that there was "something wrong" in connection with the "millionaire orphan's" death were made by Judge Harry Olson, came after a night of grilling which culminated in a fist fight between Dr. Palman and John P. Marchand, formerly a salesman for his school. Both had been summoned to the state's attorney's office for questioning last night as part of the state's attorney's plan of re-examination.

Then the two were left alone in a room while members of the state's attorney's force listened outside. They began to talk in low tones, Dr. Faiman observing: "You know, it's quite mysterious what became of that letter." "Nothing at all mysterious about it," Marchand is said to have answered. "What do you mean?" Dr. Faiman demanded, according to the listeners. "I mean you know where the letter is," Marchand is said to have replied. "You read it and you know all about it. What's the use of boating about the bush?" "I don't know anything about that letter," Dr. Faiman is said to have almost shouted. "And you're a liar," Marchand is said to have shouted right back. Then through the door, came sounds of combat, human flats beating on human flesh with sounding smacks and the listeners rushed in to find the two engaged in a fight.

WHEAT DROPS 15 CENTS IN CHICAGO Pit Becomes Madhouso As Prices Crash Downward CHICAGO, March 13.—The most sensational price decline in the Chicago grain pit in months came today when the May delivery of wheat dropped 15 cents.

(Continued on Page Six.) ROTARY HEAD SEES PRES. COOLIDGE Meeting President of the United States is mere incident in life of Carl Leonard, chief of Anaheim Rotarians. So is a long trip across the country and back, including an informal, but rather thoro survey of Florida and its boom. Leonard actually returned last Saturday, after being gone since Dec. 4. He was accompanied by Mrs. Leonard and daughter, Frances, whom he joined in Washington, D.C. Of Coolidge Leonard said: "He impressed me as being one of the most capable looking presidents we have had. He looks the part." Asked whether the chief executive appeared "gttiff" or only "serious" Leonard said: "Of course he's on very friendly terms with the Chaplain, Dr. Muir, thrn whom I was introduced to him. He slapped him on the back and said 'How are you, Chaplain?' Dr. Muir is a personal friend of Leonard's. Coolidge wasn't brusque at all, but of course couldn't spend much time meeting one man. Leonard met at the Presidential office in the White House after waiting a while in the reception room. While he was sitting there Secretary of War Weeks arrived and was shown in ahead of him, which Leonard didn't think was fair. Coolidge has a real handshake and is a real looking man. He appeared to be of about same size as Leonard and stood very straight. The Anaheimer didn't notice any particular Yankee twang to his voice, such as was mentioned in his speech as heard over the radio. His voice in fact had "a genial tone," said Leonard. The Rotarian also attended the opening of the Senate, but didn't put his eyes on Senator Shortridge or Senator Johnson. Only about third of members were present. Vice-President Dawes also was absent.

CHICAGO, March 13.—The most sensational price decline in the Chicago grain pit in months came today when the May delivery of wheat dropped 15 cents during the day's trading, leading other grains on the drops which ranged from 4 to 7 cents. The pit became a madhouse as prices tumbled, with a speed which virtually defied the execution of orders at anything near the price at which they were received. A delay of a minute during the sharp morning decline at times meant a loss of 5 cents on every bushel of wheat. It was Friday the 13th with a vengeance and it brought ruin not only to scores of traders but to hundreds of farmers in the grain belt who have been holding their crops against the expected bull market which it had been predicted would send wheat to $2.50. CHICAGO, March 13—Fortune were swept away in grain market here today when, before 10:30, May wheat dropped to $1.71, ten cents under yesterday's close, and the lowest point since it sold up to $2.05-7-8 late in January. The drown carried July wheat down to $1.50-3-9, which is 6-1-9 cents below yesterday's close and September delivery down to $1.41-1-7-4-7-8 cents off. Arthur Cullison, Chicago's greatest bull leader, credited with having made a fortune in the recent rise in grain prices, is reported to have been long millions of bushels of wheat.
