Leased Wire Report. OWNERS GROOM PRIZE POULTRY FOR BIGJXHIBIT Entries at First Annual Show by Wayne Fanciers Pack Room Judge Begins Grading Fowls. Washed, polished and combed to the finest feather, the birds exhibited in the Wayne Fanciers Poultry Show were placed In their coops this morning. The final stroke of nine o'clock was answered by a challenge thrown from the throats of a score and more of proud roosters, the aristocrats of the barn yard, and the show was on. Not all of the entries will be in place until tomorrow morning, when W. W. Zike, of Morristown will begin to make the awards, but from the quality of the birds brought in this morning, the competition will be keen and the premiums will be well earned. A pen of Rhode Island Whites entered by H. D. Jenkins of this city attracted much attention today, as they were the first of the breed to be shown in Richmond. Other birds of this variety will be in place by tomorrow. Shows Buff Leghorns. E. E. Cartwright has a big string of Buff Leghorns, that are remarkably uniform in coloring and type. A number of exhibitors who examined his birds today remarked on the uniform body coloring. Local exhibitors were on hand early to get their birds in place and a bquad of attendants was busy placing birds sent in from a distance. The capacity of the big room will be taxed to the limit by tonight and it may be necessary to double deck the coops. W. A. Oler and Ora Oler of Dublin, will show Black and Buff Orpingtons and Black Breasted Red Game Bantams. They have been consistent winners all over the United States and have a big entry in a show in North Carolina this week. Speaking of his bantams, Mr. Oler said, "The little hens only weigh 16 ounces apiece, but they lay an egg weighing an ounce. If I could get my Orpingtons to lay an egg weighing an ounce for each pound of live weight of the hen, I would have egg3 weighing half a pound." Many of the poultrymen questioned Secretary Thurman about the banquet Friday evening, and asked for tickets. This gathering of the exhibitors bids fair to be one of the most popular features of "Poultry Week" in Rlchir oiitl. NEW YORK EXCHANGE TOCK QUOTATIONS -,.., j,v Carrell & Thompson, 1. O. O. P.

CLOSE OF MARKET DELAYS SHIPMENTS Shipments of live stock from the Glen Miller stock yards are practically tied up again this week, following the closing of the Pittsburg yards at noon today after a carload of cattle affected with the foot and mouth disease had been discovered there, and a ruling affecting the holding of live stock in the Indianapolis yards, which goes into effect today. The reuling at Indianapolis is to the effect that all animals must be sold the day they are delivered or else be placed in the quarantine division of the yards, when they will become subject to the low prices paid for stock from the quarantine division. Practically all of the stuff from the local yards goes to these two points, and the local shippers will have no sure outlet for their stuff until the .situation is relieved.

MAY WHEAT LOSES FROM WAR NEWS European Reverses Drive Down Cereal Prices on Chicago Market. BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Jan. 11. May wheat lost 3c in today's trading, closing at $1.34. The reported destruction of the outer fort in the Dardanelles by the British and French fleets and in the reported sailing of the Italian fleet were the reasons assigned by brokers for the slump today, which shortly before the close made prices go down to $1.33 or 80 under the high point touched last week. Outsiders believed that the federal investigation of the advance in prices was a factor in the break, but no one on the board of trade would-say this. Future market was extremely nervous, small buying or selling orders causing wide fluctuations. The price range, from $1.39 to $1.33, or 5c was the widest since the wild market of early September. July wheat, after a range of 5c, closed near the low point with a loss of 3c- at the finish. Cash wheat lost about 1 cent, despite the limited country offerings, and sales at Kansas City, Omaha and Minneapolis, several cents above the local market. Corn futures lost from 1 to lc, and oats for May and July lest lc. Provisions averaged 20c lower, May pork leading the decline with a loss of 50c.

SKILLENS SKIPS BEFORE HEARING ON LIQUOR SALE Charles Skillens,, colored, charged with operating a blind tiger at the colored hotel on Main street, and Ollie Hayden. colored, his "bartender," charged with selling liquor illegally, were among the missing when the case was called for hearing in city court today, although Skillens and Hayden and their three attorneys, Johnson, Freeman and Richardson, the latter a colored man, had assured the court that they would be present at the hearing. They had been released without bond on their own recognizance. Prosecutor Roller stated that both Skillens and Hayden had left the city. He said Richardson informed him that Skillens had called him by long distance telephone Saturday, without stating where he was, and asked him to see if Reller would not change the charge against him to selling liquor illegally, so he could escape the jail sentence a conviction for operating a blind tiger imposes. Skillens Asks Mercy. Skillens also told Richardson that numbered among his possessions was a barber shop valued at about $600, and instructed him to "raise a loan on the shop" and pay his fine and Hayden's providing the prosecutor would "tone down" the charge against him. Reller has consented to do this and today Richardson was busy trying to raise a loan on the barber shop. In the first place Reller offered to charge Skillens with selling liquor illegally providing he pleaded guilty to the charge, but this offer was rejected by the three attorneys, who asserted their client was absolutely Innocent The minimum fine for this offense Is $50.
ROUMANIA STANDS READY FOR BATTLE Another Army Lines up With Allies Neutral Element Disappears. BURTON J. FRAZUER. BUCHAREST. Roumania, Jan. 11. Roumania is ready for war. She will fight on the side of the allies. Her entrance into the conflict is believed to be only a matter of days perhaps only hours. Upon my arrival here from Athens, I found that the element that kept Roumania neutral in the early days of the war had practically disappeared. The influence of the German minister, Dr. von Waldthausen, has been steadily waning. It has been almost wiped out as a result of the Russian victories in Bukowina and the Caucascus. CETTINJE, Jan. 11. Official announcement was made today that Montenegrin troops had invaded Austria, advancing ten miles from the border of Herzegovina to Treblnje. From Trebinje they are marching toward Ragusa, a Dalmatian seaport. U. S. INVESTIGATES RAPID PRICE CLIMB BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Jan. 11. "The most searching investigation ever conducted in Chicago," was the way United States District Attorney Clyne today described the inquiry he has begun into the reasons for the high price of fresh meats and of wheat. Thirty bakers and butchers were questioned today in the district attorneys office. A dozen were called in and questioned Sunday. When Mr. Clyne has laid affidavits he will present the evidence if he finds indications of artificial price fixing to the December grand jury which is to be sworn in this week. Board of trade men today pooh pooed the possibility of the inquiry any where. They were unanimous in declaring that the heavy exports of wheat and the high prices offered by warring Europe alone were resDonsiI ble for the sensational advance since August 1. Attention was called to the fact that the majority of Chicago traders have been bears and their repeated profit taking has spoiled a dozen advance price movements since they broke the first advance when May wheat touched $1.31 on September 5.

It is planned to place the engineer's office in the west end of the council chamber. The mayor's desk would be placed against the partition dividing the council room and the engineer's room, the councilmen facing west when seated at their desks. A resolution was confirmed to construct cement curbs and gutters on South Thirteenth street from E to II! streets. j A resolution was confirmed to construct a gravel roadway on South D j street from Fifteenth to Sixteenth j with cement walks on both sides and 1 cement curbs and gutters. j A resolution was ordered for the i construction of cement walks on j North J street from Twelfth to Sev-' enteenth.
