WHEAT TAKES A JUMP IN PRICE DOE TO WAR

Quoted At 90 Cents Saturday, An Advance of Four Cents Since Thursday.

Wheat was raised to 90 cents a bush el, wholesale price, by the Sparks Mill ing Co. Saturday on account of the European war troubles and It promises to go still higher, according to a statement Jseued from the company's office. Flour is being shipped to foreign ports by the Sparks company in large quantities to fill orders given before the war, officials of the company stated, and the big demand for American flour and wheat on acount of the halted crops in Europe will make the product raise in price within the next few weeks"The crop of wheat in Europe would have been small without the war and it is now scarce," said one of the company's officials. "The mill at Alton, 111., is filling many foreign orders and some of the Terre Haute flour is being sent to Belgium, Norway and Sweden. Wheat naturally goes up in price at about this time of the year but the war has caused a greater rise in prices."

Wheat was quoted Friday at 8S cents and Thursday it was two cents lower. A steady advance of two cents is expected for a time, it is said.

HOUR OF POPE'S DEATH

ROME, Aug. 22.—Dr- Marchiafava, one of the physicians who were at the death bed of Pope Pius X, has given the Associated Press the following statement: "The pope died Thursday, August 20, about 1:15 ini the morning. (Signed). "E. MARCHIAFAVA."

When informed of the premature announcement in the United States of the pontiff's death, and the claim made that it actually occurred prior to the time officially announced, Dr. Marchiafava said he thought it was ridiculous to doubt the exact hour at which the pope had passed away and decried the attempt to shorten his life by hours in view of the fact that there are plenty of witnesses who saw him alive early Thursday morning. These include euch outside and disinterested as Mgr. Falconer, former apostolic delegate in the United States, who at about midnight of Wednesday insisted upon entering the Vatican, the doors of which were closed- He was given admittance and remained in the pope's bedroom for half an hour.

Dr. Amicl, the other physician in attendance, when told of the American report, said: "I can give you the best of documents, showing the irrefutable truth."

With these words, he produced his own written announcement of the death of the pointiff to the mayor of Rome. This announcement is as follows: "Most Illustrious Sir and Mayor: It is my sorrow to inform you that today, August 20, at the hour of 1:15 a. m., his holiness, Pope Pius X, known secularly as Giusippe Sarto, of Riese, ceased to live in the Vatican palace, from bronchial pneumonia, aged 79 years. Dated August 20, 1914."

Prince Colonna, the mayor of Rome, has ordered a special cover, richly bound and lined with satin, for the death certificate. It bears the Roman coat of arms in the center, and has tha following inscription in silver letters: "Death certificate of his holiness, Pius X. Epired August 20, 1914."

CARDINALS ASSEMBLE ANDARRANGE CONCLAVE

Traditional Ceremony of Breaking the Fisherman's Ring Is Amended.

ROME, Aug. 21 (delayed in transmission).— Twenty three cardinals met late today In the first congregation of cardinals to arrange the temporary government of the church and prepare for the conclave in September, when a successor to Pope Pius will be elected.

Cardinals Martlnelli and Di Pietro are ill and for that reason were unable to be present. Cardinal Seraphin Vanutelli, dean of the sacred college attended, but being incapacitated by an indisposition the duties of the dean were performed by Cardinal Agllardi.

After taking the oath to maintain their secrets, "even to the shedding of blood," the cardinals performed the traditional ceremony of breaking the fisherman's ring. The rite, however, was not literally carried out. According to the rules of the sacred college, the ring should be broken and later reset and presented to the new pope. Today after each of the members present had identified the ring, it was found that none had the strength to break it, even though a hammer was employed. Aid was not at hand, as Cardinal Delia Volpe had not permitted the presence of any one except the cardinals and the latter finally decided that the symbolical ceremony would be observed if the symbol was scratched. This was done.

It is learned that the testament of the late pope provides for the maintenance for about four hundred little ones made orphans by the earthquake at Messina and Calebra In 1908. The pope's sister, who collapsed when the pontiff died, was better today and inquired about the arrangements for the funeral services. She insisted upon kneeling in bed to pray for the departed soul.

The outer walls of the churches were placarded with notices from Cardinal Pomili, vicar general of his holiness, stating that the chamberlains had given him officially the sad news of the death of Pius on Thursday and instructed him to notify all the faithful and order that the bells in all the churches be tolled for an hour at sunset today and on Saturday. The clergy also are directed to say masses for the late pontiff, "recommending his blessed soul to God."

Body Lies in Stake.

ROME, Aug. 22.—The body of Plus X, clad in his pontifical robes and with the emblems of his sacred office beside it, lay today in the chapel of Blessed Sacrament in St. Peters. The doors of the great church were opened and the faithful resumed their pilgrimages to the bier.

Preparations for the burial are now under way. The stairway leading to the crypt under the altar, where lie the remains of St. Peter, has been cotvered with heavy boards. Down these the bier will be lowered gently, until It is finally deposited near the casket of Pope Plus VI.

Three hundred Invitations have been Issued for the ceremonies of entombing. Among those present will be members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of Italian nobility. The troops were withdrawn from the Square of St Peters this afternoon.

CERMANY MAY NOT REPLY TO ULTIMATUM

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22—The Japanese government today instructed its charge d'affaires in Berlin to leave there at 4 a. m. tomorrow, Berlin time, if an answer was not returned then by Germany to the Japanese ultimatum.

Baron Chinda asked Secretary Bryan to transmit through the American embassy at Berlin a message to the Japanese charge d'affaires, gifving him instructions in detail as to the course he is to pursue if no answer is returned by Germany.

Haniel Von Haimhausen, the German charge d'affaires, a state department caller just a few minutes before Baron Chinda arrived, said that while he had no definite information, he would not be surprised if no answer were returned to the ultimatum, placing the burden of action on Japan.

DISTILLERY FIRE OUT.

Last Flames Extinguished by Firemen Saturday Morning. After burning for nearly a week, at times only a smoking mass, but at other times in a bright flame, the fire in the huge hay barn at the Commercial distillery, on the Prairieton road, was extinguished by city firemen and employes of the distillery Saturday morning and the men and hose were taken from the scene. The barn caught fire last Sunday morning and it was hours before it was under control. For the first two days five firemen were kept on the scene day and night, and during the remainder of the time two city firemen and two employes at the distillery were on the ground- Practically all the spoiled hay in the barn had to be taken out and turned over before the last spark was extinguished. The loss is. estimated at nearly $10,000, covered by insurance.

turbances In the interior of China threatened the lives and interests of foreigners. "That Japan's attitude was based on the Anglo-Japanese alliance, one of the objects of which is: "The preservation of the common Interests of all powers in China by Insuring the independence and integrity of China and the principle of equal opportunities for the commerce and industry of all nations in China."

By referring to this part of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, the war department, it was pointed out today, has in effect expressed the expectation that the "open door" policy and the principle of the preservation of the integrity of China will be maintained no matter jwhat the outcome of the present situation.

What also attracted attention was the fact that the United States had taken occasion to place on record at this time its understanding of Japan's assurances as communicated through Ambassador Guthrie a week ago.

It is understood that the United States has practically said the same thing to the Chinese government In answer to an inquiry from Peking as to whether the United States would undertake the trusteeship of Klao-Chow for Immediate transfer of the territory from Germany to China, The American government's attitude of strict neutrality would prevent it from adopting any such suggestion unless both Japan and Great Britain approved.

Officials and diplomats alike are awaiting with intense interest the answer of Germany to Japan's ultimatum, or the-action of the oriental empire 1n the event of a failure on the part of the Berlin government to respond.

The general eprpectation In diplomatic circles is that war between Germany and Japan will result

CITY SUES FOR CHERRY STREET

Continued From Page One.

is sixty-five feet in width, and was an improved street, paved with wooden blocks and is located in one of the most populous portions of the city, and is needed for the use of the public.

It is then shown that on the 28th day of September, 1910, the traction company filed a petition with the board of works, asking for the vacation of the street, and sets out in detail the action of the former board of works In vacating the street, averring that such action was contrary to law. "Plaintiff further avers that on the 28th day of September, 1910, the said defendant, Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company, did, by petition filed with the board of public •works of said city of Terre Haute, Ind., request said board to vacate all that part of said Cherry street lying between said Eighth and Ninth streets and said alley, running north and south from said Cherry street to said alley running east and west between said Cherry and Wabash avenue and from said Eighth to said Ninth street. "Plaintiff further avers that the sole and only purpose of said defendant in petitioning' and requesting for such vacation was that upon such vacation being granted the right title and interest in such portion of said alley and street as was vacated, might and would revert to said defendant, Terre Haute Traction & Light company, as an abutting property owner and that the sole and only purpose of the defendant, Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company, In so asking and requesting such vacation, was that it might, in the event of such vacation, use said vacated portion of said street In erecting an interurban terminal station and office building. And defendant, Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company, did further promise and agree that in consideration of said Cherry street and said alley being vacated as aforesaid, that said defendant would dedicate and give to the plaintiff a strip of land twenty (20) feet In width off the south side of lots 124 and 151, which lots were adjacent to and immediately north of the said alley running east and west between Cherry and Wabash avenue, and extending from Eighth to said Ninth street.

The second paragraph of the complaint contains much of the same matter as the first, but proceeds upon the theory, that the board of works ana the traction company contracted and agreed to build a terminal station in the spring of 1911 in the event that Cherry street and the alley leading IT it were vacated, and that the traction company had violated this portion of the contract and therefore asky the contract to be set aside on account of the company not carrying out its part of the agreement.

The third paragraph Is the same as the second, except, that it asks that the

traction company be compelled to pay the city damages for falling to carry out its part of the contract, and these damages are fixed at $50,000.

The second and third paragraphs contain copies of the petition of the traction company asking for the vacation of Cherry street, and the proposition made by the board of works to vacate it if the traction company would do four things, namely:

Give the city a strip of ground of twenty feet pay for the paving ot It pay for the costs of the proceedings, and begin the erection of a large terminal station in the spring of 1911.

In the event the court should find that the board of works did ha\e authority to give away the street, and that the city could enter into said contract, the city may collect damages for the loss of its streets.

The city's contention is that the city cannot give away its streets, and that there is no power by which a city can make a present of its streets to an individual or private corporation for private use.

MYSTERIOUS HUE.

Warehouse of the T. H. Coal and Lime Co. Badly Damaged. With flames shooting from the roof and eivery aperture of the building, a fire at the warehouse of the Terre Haute Coal and Lime company, Seventh street and the Big Four railroad, presented a stubborn resistance to city foremen about 7 o'clock Saturday morning. A box alarm was turned in from No. 52, and when headquarters company arrived the entire roof was blazing and portions were seen to be falling in. The loss will be more than $300, which includes that on the building and a car load of baled straw which had just been received.

Fire Chief Bledsoe Is at a loss to ascertain the origin of the fire. He said after an investigation that he did not see how a fire in that neighborhood could get the start it did at that time of the morning when so many people are going to their work.

MANACLE OFFICERS TO HORSES.

PARIS, 8:25 a. m., Aug. 22.—A local paper, describing the entry of the Germans into Brussels, says a feature of the maneuvers was the presence with the German forces of a hundred automobiles, fitted with machine guns.

Another story published here is to the effect that two Belgian officers, mana.cled to the stirrups of horsemen, were obliged in this manner to accompany the cortege through the city. The spectacle provoked an angry growl from the populace, who were threatened by the cavalrymen- On the whole, however, the people of Brussels were very self possessed.

AUSTRIANS LOSE 35,000.

LONTDON, Aug. 22.—According to a Central News despatch from Rome, many Austrians were drowned In their flight to the Irina river. The Servian artillery annihilated the survivors. The correspondent says that 25,000 Austrians were killed or wounded in the battle and that 10,000 were taken prisoners.

He admits that some few were arrested during the first few days of the war, but adds that such things are almost unavoidable in such cases and that in all cases the arrested was speedily released. "The Americans in Germany," says the ambassador, "enjoy as great freedom as they do in America. The populace Is extremely courteous and the government has made efforts to place special trains at the disposal of Americans, even during mobilization. The banks are very considerate, paying checks and letters of credit."
