Leased Wire Report. DROP OF 4 GENTS HITS WHEAT PRICE Flood of Selling Orders Brings Break and Forces Down Markets. BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Jan. 18. Amid scenes bordering on pandemonium .in the wheat pit, the May option dropped 4Va cents shortly before 10 o'clock. The market had been panic-stricken from the opening. A flood of selling orders was responsible for the break, the market appearing to be bare of support at that time. May wheat opened at $1.41, -cent under yesterday's close. July wheat opened -cent lower and sold down to $1.26, an i-cent under Friday's finish. May corn was off -cent, and Jmly -cent. Oats unchangedProvisions opened slightly higher. Reports from Washington that a serious effort would be made in congress to place an embargo on export of grains, was given as the bearish influence, but the market clearly was over bought and ready for the least touch to set it tumbling. Semi-demoralization followed the first break. Many stop orders were uncovered on the way down, btu expectation were almost impossible. The trade assumed an immense volume. Individual operations were lost. At time there w-r- breaks of -cent between trades. Shortly after the market steadies at around $1.42, a bulletin from a leading commission house was posted stating that an embargo on wheat exports was unconstitutional and could not be placed until the legislatures of threefourths of the states ratified an amendment. The constitutionalist provision referred to was that, providing that no tax or duty shall be levied upon articles exported 'from any state. The bulletine went on to explain there was no relief in sight from the high prices unless the war in Europe should sudrenly be halted. A r-attempt to break the wheat marl'.-, .. was made shortly before the close, but it was frustrated through an announcement that 800,000 bushels j had just been sold here for export via ! Galveston. This wheat is for delivery In March. Baltimore and agents for the French government were said to have been heavy buyers on the break in May. The close was at $1.41 for May, a decline from yesterday's finish. Corn and oats for both months closed with losses of -cent. Ca3h wheat was of about 2 cents here, and in other western markets. Provisions here were 5 cents higher except for pork which closed at Friday's figures. CHICAGO PROVISIONS AND GRAIN PRICES

HOG PRICES DECREASE Hog prices have fallen off 25 cents at the local yards this week as a result of the quarantining of the yards ta Dayton and Pittsburg. The drop in price has curtailed the receipts and the shipping has been lighter than at any time since the raising of the interstate quarantine several weeks ago. The farmers and feeders have unloaded a great deal of their stuff that had been accumulating during the months of quarantine, and are now in a position to held their stock for better prices.

Brown had purchased from William Dudley Foulke a tract of land, a gooer part of w"hich is swampy, bordering Brown's addition on South E street to the east, for $400 an acre. There are eight and one-third acres in the tract. It is understood that this land is to be filled and opened up as a building site. Real estate men regrd the price paid for this land as exceptionally him, and indicative of tho substantial real eastate boom now on in Richmond. OWNERS PROTEST ASSESSMENT ROLL A score of land owners from the northwestern corner of the county came to the court house this morning to remonstrate against their assessments in the Nettle Creek ditch improvement but Judge Moran of Portland who was named to hear the case did not appear at noon and many returned to their homes. Th land owners did not complain about the price of the improvement which is $22,000, part of which is in Randolph county; but said the assessments are not made according to the benefits of the land adjacent to the drainage ditch. They said some assessments were too low and they will ask for a more equitable assessment roll. SECOND NATIONAL GETS STATE FUNDS By the authority of Governor Ralston and State Auditor Crittenb'ery the Second National bank of this city was today named as one of the depositories for the funds of the state of Indiana. The Second National applied to the auditor to have $50,000 of state funds deposited with it. Most of the state funds the local bank will handle will be for the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane. A curious means of communication is the "drum language" of a tribe in the Congo. These people by this means converse with each other at considerable distances.

PEARL EARNEST STARS IN PLAY AS MISS PEGGY J. Warren Beck and Wallace Gifford Help Leading Lady Give Professional Tone to Day Dodger Cast. Miss Pearl Earnest was tho star of

the play given by the day dodgers of cannam couege in the auditorium of Lindley ball last evening. The annual plays given by the day students always call out a large contingent from town, and last evening's affair was applauded by many persons from the city as well as the usual Earlham audience. Beck Takes Part. "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy" is an amusing little comedy whose action ewinga on the erratic movements of Peggy, impersonated by Miss Earnest, a young American girl, who, with her mother, is a guest in a great English country house where they have been invited by its owner, Lord Crakenthorpe, taken by Warren Beck, an absent-minded scientist, who has taken a fancy to the charming American girl and her mother, of Irish antecedents, the latter character presented by Miss Eleanor Gifford. Peggy conceives the idea of marry, ing her mother to Lord Crackenthorpe instead of being married off to him serself, as is her mother's idea, and the complication resultant upon this resolution, which includes a pretended elopement with Lord Crackenthorpe'a younger brother, who is really in love with Peggy, make up the action of the play. Acta Like Professional. Miss Earnest possesses much genuine acting talent, having a mobile, expressive face and equally expressive hands, and in this character, which fitted Jier personality like the proverbial glove, would have given any professional a run for their money, Wallace Gifford made an attractive figure in the "leading man," as the. younger brother, playing opposite Miss Earnest with effect and carrying off the difficult situations with ease. Miss Ruth Shera as Lady Crackenthorpe, was one of the successes of the play, having a fine stage appearance, and Miss Lena Hivner, as her daughter, although in a minor role, made a good effect with her distinct enunciation.. The comedy hit of the evening was Leland Hadley, as Lady Crackenthorpe's brother, always trying to mould events for "the good of the family," Mr. Hadley's impersonation of a la de da sort cf Englishman of rank being very funny. Frank Hill as "Jack Menizec," a friend of the leading man; Rudolph Price and Edwin Eley, as merchants, and Miss Gertrude Pardieek as an Englishwoman of rank and fashion, were all good, Miss Pardieek investing a. small part with much interest and making a charming stage appearance. FRIENDS MOURN (Continued from Pago One.) and his family, all in the same degree of tenderness and devotion. Loved by Fellow Workers. "Mr. Russell was a devoted friend and leader among the industrial workers of our city. The large army of his fellow workmen, in our factories, all trusted and loved him, and he was a leader among them, for all things that pertain to a manly life and good citizenship. Mr. Russell has faded from earthly Eight, but his influence, the product of his own creation, will live after him, and his memory is blessed." Many employes of the American Seeding Machine company and members of the Mutual Aid union were present at the church. The American Seeding Machine company closed its shops entirely at noon out of respect for the veteran woodworker and Christian leader of the factory. Many members of all lodges of the Knights of Pythias were present and were represented by .a corps of pall bearers. Serve as Pall Bearers. The Knights of Pythias honorary pall bearers were M. W. Kelly, John Bayer, J. W. Morris, Rny Fry, Charles Rettig, Frank Roberts, Daniel Hill and James VanZant. The honorary pall bearers from the church and factory were James A. Caar, Alfred Bavis, John Ulrich. John Starr, Dr. D. W. Stevenson and Robert McFail. ' The family has received scores of letters of condolence and sympathy and a number of resolutions have been presented by organizations including the Mutual Aid union, the Knights of Pythias and others. At this afternoon services, the Sunday school of the First M. E. church presented a resolution which L. H. Bunyon read with another from the official board. The official board resolutipn which was written by Mr. Bunyon and Clem A. Gaar, follows: Church Board Mourns Loss. "The members of the official board of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Richmond, Indiana, desire to express their high appreciation of the character and work of our esteemed, but now deceased friend and brother, William E. Russell. "For thirty years he has bene a valued member of our church and for many years one of our active efficent workers in official capacity. He has been identified in the various interests of our church life and has always proved himself to be faithful and capable in all responsibilities entrusted to to him. He has been always ready, willing, kind, faithful, loving and true. "He was a nearly faultless in his example and bearings as it is possible for our frail humanity to be. We hear it said, 'If Will Russell had a fault, I never knew it.' "The graces of the true Christian life were beautifully reflected In all his personal career. The essence and spirit of the teachings of .the master, were most blessedly illustrated in his everyday life. Lived Christian Life. "He was so vitally related to the true source of power that the rich fruitage and fragrance of his everyday .life was but the natural sequence and

MRS. JOHN JACOB ASTOR. Because they believe the "twilight sleep" childbirth method, originatea in Frieberg, Germany, will insure painless birth, a group of farsighted women, among them Mrs. John Jacob Astor. widow of the niulti-million-air who perished in the Titanic disaster, have organized an association to give the world cf mothers authentic information concerning the treatment. "In the first place," said Mrs. Mary V.". Dennett, temporary chairman cf the new organization, "we thall establish an otfice with a secretary to answer all sorts of questions about twilight sleep. We shall circulate paniphltts en the subject aad arrange lectures. Then we shall further the introduction of the Frieberg method in the existing hospitals. It already exists partially in ten New York hospitals. But our greatest aim shall be to establish a teaching hospital where doctors from all over the country can come and learn this method cf obviating pain at childbirth. It is our aim to establish a maternity hospital similar to the clinic at Frieberg, where a skilled group of doctors who have themselves studied at Frieberg will take charge of the work."

i, A, OFEr FIGHT ON GUM The West Richmond Improvement' association saw an opportunity in the Eavis improvement program before council to get their money's worth in improvement for West Rich-1 mond, but to get it in a different way than the board of works president planned. : Members voted last night to send a committee to the board of works and ask that property surrounding the ; West Richmond dump be approised : and that the money which Mr. Eavis '; figured would be spent on the Randolph street sewer system if council , gets the cash, be expended in pur- i chasing the dump property and improving it. The Randolph street residents said they do not need the sewer as the: drainage facilities are ample and there 1 are sewers in the alleys. The complaint that West Richmond does not get its share of the tax money wus again renewed. Complaint was made that the city is again dumping on the property at the foot of Randolph street and the committee will ask that this be stop-; ped immediately to avoid a repetition of the fght which took place several ' months ago. gave to him that bright cheerful optomistic spirit which dominated his whole life. We would record our recognition of, and high esteem for our beloved Brother Russell. "He was a manly man, of nobility of purpose, of purety of life, of sterling worth, of unselfish spirit, of unwearying service, a symetrical Christian character. "The church will greatly miss him. His memory shall abide with us as a sweet fragrance. We would be grateful to our heavenly father to have given hi mto us for these years. We would express to his companion, his children and to those friends dear to his heart and his home our sense of their sorrow and loss. "We deeply sympathize with you and as far as possible we share a measure of your grief. May it be yours to the known fullness of our heavenly father's comforting and sustaining grace, and realize his gracious promise,' When thou passest through the water I will be with three.' "We would place this tribute of love and respect to the memory of this good man and we humbly trust and hepe that we all shall be so guided as some day to share with him the glorious felicity into which we confidently believe he -has so triumphantly entered." Ellis Learner read scripture from John 14, verses 1 to 18. A quartet of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Krone, Walter Luring and Mrs. Longnecker sang, accompanied by Roland Nusfcaum on the organ. The regular church ushers acetd in their usual duties.
