Sea Warfare Part of the mystery surrounding the fate of seven British merchant ships was dispelled today after publication of the stores of some of 62 captive sailors released at Montevideo by the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee. In addition, the sinking of two more British vessels was revealed, increasing to nine the number of ships known to have been destroyed by the Graf Spee before she met her match in the form of three British cruisers which disabled her during a 14-hour battle Wednesday. Details, Including casualties, of the sinking of some of the seven ships remain unknown beyond the fact that they were destroyed. Four of the ships which the British admiralty within the last 10 days reported and presumably lost" were found to be victims of the Graf Spee.

They were the Newton Beech, sunk off South Africa Oct the Ashlea, sunk In the South Atlantic Oct the Huntsman, sunk off South Africa Oct 10, and the Trevation, sunk off South Africa on an undisclosed date. Three other ships, previously known only to have been sunk by an "armed raider," were found to have been victims ot the Graf Spee. They were the Clement sunk near Bahia, Brazil, Sept. 30; the 706-ton tanker Africa Shell, sunk off the east African coast Nov. 16, and the Doric Star, sunk in the Atlantic Dec.

4. The latest known victims of the Graf Spee were the Tai-roa, sunk, according to her survivors aboard the Graf Spee, on Dec. 4, but according to a Berlin announcement on Dec. 13 just before the Spees battle with the cruisers; and the Streonshalh, which the survivors said was sunk on Dec. "The German announcement said the Streonshalh was sunk at the same time as the Tai-roa.

These and the loss of three neutral vessels and one German raised the known toll of the war at sea to 231 ships of 884,130 gross tons, and 2,497 lives. Britain has lost 124 ships of 489,357 tons.

In addition, light tax selling continued as a handicap and cloudiness of next quarter's business outlook served to inspire wariness among some traders.

Advancing almost 4 cents from early various futures contracts' traded here rose to high ranging from $1 to $1.05 per bushel, the latter for December delivery. Brokers said much of the buying was associated with evening up of "short" accounts prior to release of the- official Argentine crop report expected after the close. In view of recent reports of serious deterioration of wheat in Argentine the government figures are expected to reveal a much smaller harvest than a year ago. Continuation of the domestic drought also stimulated purchasing. Despite heavy profit taking in the final trades, much of the gain was retained and wheat closed 1-2Vt cents higher than yesterday, December 1.03, May 1.01-.

Corn was higher, December 55, May 56-57; oats higher. Bonds NEW YORK, Dec. 15 Fractional losers slightly outnumbered small gains in the domestic corporate division of the bond market today.

(Continued from page one) if he changed his mind about the method of selecting the jury he would notify the attorneys. In answer to the charges of malfeasance upon which the ouster was based, Sheriff Weeks denied any dereliction of duty. Replying to the charge that Jim Whitman, the witness he was accused of holding Illegally in order to force him to sign a statement, was subsequently dismissed without tak ing him before a justice of the peace, Sheriff Weeks contended that it is a general custom and practice sanctioned by the at torney general to discharge priS' oners, from custody without tak ing them before a Justice of the peace or other court The practice was described as customary throughout the district especially when a prisoner has been arrested on a warrant issued justice of the peace court Answering a charge that Whit man was confined to Jail without first being taken before a iustice of the peace, the sheriff stated that Deputy J. E.

Scoggins at once took Whitman before Justice of the Peace J. M. Cherry at Henderson when he had been arrested, and that that there he was given an opportunity to make bond but that he said he was unable to do so. The defense contends a mittimus was issued by Cherry but that the sheriff, not present when the arrest was made, did not know about the mittimus until there was an Investigation in the U. S.

district court at Memphis of certain mat ters In which Whitman was involved. On the defendant's return from court at Memphis, where he testified about Whitman's arrest and was sharply criticized by Judge Martin, the defense answer relates that Sheriff Weeks found the Whitman mittimus had been delivered to his wife, who placed it on the Jail record. Whitman, the defense contends, sent for A. A. Robbins to come to see him and thai during a discussion of a proposed settlement of the charge against him Whitman proposed to assign to Robbins, who had brought the charges, witness fee" he claimed to be due him in U.

S. feJeral court at Jackson and "also what he called a donation, of $35 or $40 said to be due him by General Murray." The sheriff contends he declined to discharge Whitman pending the arrival of Madison county officers, but that he consented later to take Whitman before an attorney for advice. He went to J. I. Galbraith, the answer avers, and was ad- Ised that he had a right to discharge Whitman.

MVC To Hold (Continued from Page One) ference, delegates voted to change the "migatory rule" on athletic eligibilities to be more lenient on transfer students. Ae the rule stood, a student who had competed in any inter-college athletics outside the conference and who transferred Into the conference, would be ineligible during the iirsi year. Leaders of the move for a change pointed out that most schools in the MVC are Junior colleges, and a sophomore transfer would thus not become eligible to play before graduation. It was agreed to change the bylaws so that any student transferring into the conference from an outside school would be eligible to compete in conference sports immediately, provided other usual requirements were met. Left intact was the ruling forbidding transfers within the conference from participating for the first year after their transfer.

President West named the following committees: nominations, A. Flowers, Frank Cheney, H. T. Nance; audit Paul Meek and J. C.

Loftin. All ten member colleges of the conference were represented by accredited delegates with the exception of Northwest Junior College fo Senatobia, Mississippi. Dr. West making his annual report, told the conference he was "optimistic" of the organization's future, but felt a need for more adequate publicity of the conference's activities. He also commented on the decline of football in the conference and indicated a personal desire for its revival.

The matter of publicity was further gone into later when the group heard suggestions from N. L. Parks of David Lipscomb College, Secretary Johnson, and others. The conference instructed Dr. Johnson to send weekly reports of athletic standings, and other athletic information, to The Jackson Sun and specified newspapers in Nashville and Memphis.

The woman suspect was taken into custody on the main street of Yuma after being pointed out by Joe P. Metz of Phoenix, director of the State Bureau of Liquor Control and Licenses. Sheriff Newman said the woman told him she was looking for the sanitorium of Dr.

BACKLOGS IN STEEL The size of the first-quarter back logs in' the steel Industry precludes the possibility of a sharp decline in operating rates, Iron Age said In Its weeitiy survey. "With speculative factors re' moved from the market by the vir tually unchanged price structure, a closer balance between production and consumption is likely to be ar rived at in the coming few months, during which time the trend of op erations may be slightly down ward," the trade magazine "A two-point decline in Ingot production to 91 per cent for this week is partly due to furnace re pairs and partly to a relaxing of pressure in some steel rolling de partments brought about by a mod' erate falling off in specifications and the cumulative effect of re cent heavy production and ship ments. "Scrap prices have declined fur ther in some districts but there are indications, particularly at Pitts burgh and Chicago, the bottom of tne decline or close to it may have been reached." The Iron Age scrap composite price has declined 17 cents to $18.08.
