(UP).—A public hearing on re-

next Thursday.
The date for the hearing was
set last night by the Senate com-
mittee on criminal jurisprudence.
Utility regulation by a State
commission had apparently been
killed for this session. The Sen-
ate State affairs committee last
night turned down three bi(ls for
that purpose.
The action does not affect the
bill already passed by which reg-
ulatory powers of cities and
towns are extended, a limit of
10 per cent in any year placed
on utility returns, and’ a fur-
ther limit of 8 per cent for any
five-year period.

CHICAGO, March 19 (UP)-—
Wheat prices broke sharply here
today under light but genetai sell-
ing, recording net losses of two
to three cents a bushel. Hie sell-
ing, induced by weakness in for-
eign markets and prospects for
wet weather in the Southwest,
found the market without support
except for a little mill buying of
the nearby delivery.
At the close wheat was 2 5-8
to 3 cents lower, new com 3-4 to
1 cent lower, old corn 3-8 to 1
cent lower and oath 1 1-8 to 1 1-2
cents lower.
