MARKETS

NEW WHEAT SELLS ON CHICAGO MARKET CHICAGO, July 10. There were losses of 2c In the wheat market today with an almost complete reversal of conditions late when compared with those arely In the day. The selling wag largely by longs and was brought about in a sense by the arrival of ifty cars of new wheat at St. Louis, and the decline there of a sensational character. It was reported today that nearly all southwestern states were asking bids for new wheat for immediate shipment. This shows that all that is needed at the moment for a free movement of wheat is favorable weather. Corn closed c lower, and oats were off c. There were the largest sales of heavy meat here today reported in many weeks. It is believed these meats are for shipment abroad. Provisions were off sharply in price and the continued liquidation by holders. CHICAGO UNION STOCK YARDS, 111.. July 10.

President Wilson indicated to Secretary Tumulty that he desired an early conference with the secretary of state but that he did not consider it neces sary to interrupt his vacation, in Cor nish to come to Washington for it. The president's action was consider ed in state department circles to indicate that Mr. Wilson, while still maintaining his previous position that Germany guarantee American right upon the seas, does not believe the situa tion critical. He is understood to be convinced that the public will be sat isfied with deliberation in framing the next American note to Germany. Secretary Lansing declined to comment today on the German note as carried in press dispatches from Berlin. RUSS CAPTURE (Continued From Page One.l hawa. The enemy continues his retreat, but has offered particularly obstinate resistance at Height 118, south of Wilkolez and Gorny. The number of our German prisoners has been increased by more than 15,000. Troops Remain Quiet. "From Bykhawa to the western bank of the Bug river no action occurred except an attack by a German regiment at Maalomentche, which was repulsed. "On the Bug, Zlota, Lipe and Dnelster rivers the situation is unchanged. Our patrols, making a reconnaissance on this entire front during a space of 24 hours, captured several hundred prisoners. "In a fruitless attack on the village of Kouptche on the Bug the enemy left about 500 killed and wounded on the ground." TRUSTEE TO EVADE SCHOOL HACK LAW A method by which trustees may evade the ruling of the state board of accounts ordering that school hacks cannot be operated in school districts where a school has never been abandoned, has been suggested. George Crull, trustee of Washington township, probably will be the first to take advantage of it. The trustees will take the stand that hacks are a necessity, will take regular legal proceedings to dissolve school districts where the new ruling will require the discontinuance of back service. The districts can be reorganized again immediately and it can then be said they were in a position to operate the hacks legally. Trustee Edgerton of Wayne township, said' today he probably will not take advantage of this method of evasion, but will continue in his efforts to reduce the number of school hacks from seven . to three. There may be slight changes in the school districts to prevent the possibility of children walking too far to school next T-fnter

J. Michel, Field Secretary of the organization, during the supper at tne x. m. v- a last evening. Th committee Is comoosed Of Fol ger Wilson, chairman, L. H. Bunyan, J. H. McAfee and Charles Tebbetts. This committee will seek to have a large representation of Richmond delegates at the conference. Mr. Wilson, President Kelly of Earlham college, Mr. McAfee and Mr. Tebbetts have already signified their intention of at.tendinff ' Secretary Micheal spoke for a half hour last evening after tne supper to the thirty laymen and ministers who attended the meeting in the Y.

LONDON SCOFFS AT LAST REPLY TO la NOTES British Official Says Answer Unsatisfactory in Light of Wilson's Former Stand. LONDON, July 10. British expecta tions is that the United States will find the German reply to its appeal for humanity in submarine war fare completely unsatisfactory. The text of the note arrived here today too late for the morning papers but the even ing editions displayed it prominently They declared German has pointedly ignored the demand of the American government that merchant vessels be stopped and searched instead of being sunk. "This one point alone," said an official today, "is enough to make the reply worthless. It is apparent that Germany is seeking to bargain with United States. From the previous actions of the American government we know how successful the Berlin foreign office will be. "That part of the note relating to the Lusitania requires no comment. The liner was sunk by torpedoes and not by the explosion of ammunition on board. She was unarmed. "Germany seems to have overlooked the fact that the American government is acting for all humanity and not for America alone The suggestion that America report the coming and going of her ships to Germany is preposterous. It will meet with the scorn it deserves." KILL BECKER'S HOPE RANGELEY, Maine. July 10. Charles Becker's last hope for life was practically squashed today when Justice Charles E. Hughes refused to take the case into the United States supreme courts. Justice Hughes refused to grant a writ of error to Bourke Cochran, chief counsel for the condemned man and it is almost a certainty that Becker will die in the electric chair at Sing Sing on July 26, for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New York gambler. Mr. Cochran's application was denied upon the ground that there was no substantial federal question involved. FAIR EMPLOYE GETS RELEASE SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. Sam P.

LOCAL MAN TOOK FRENCH UNDER HOLT

The Insane tendencies of Ericn Muenther. alias Frank Holt, who attempted, to assassinate J. Pierpont Morgan and who committed suicide in the Mlneola jail. Long Island, showed themselves In his eccentric actions while he was an instructor in Cornell university, according to A. OBigelow of this city, who was a student at the time. Mr. Blgelow was a member of Holt's French class, and says that the Instructor was known as "Francy" to the students. Holt's only associate was Acting President Crane of the university. . . . The instructor was unpopular, Mr. Blgelow says and was in the habit of holding so-called seances. On several occasions he would pass examinations to the students and then leave the city, returning In several days to take up the papers. Mr. Bigelow is connected with the F. W. Woolworth store here and is a member of the Country Club. ASK AN INCREASE OF SALOON LIMIT Attorney's Argue That City Under Law is Entitled to Two Additional Saloons. An old ghost which has confronted prospective saloon keepers of Richmond for many years has arisen again. It is in the form of a divided precinct, part of which is in the city and part in Wayne township. Attorney Kelley and Attorney Johnson said they would undertake tp prove that Richmond was entitled to two more saloons. A year ago, fiftynine were operating. Six have gone out of business, several through the hands of a receiver. There are now fifty-three valid licenses on which saloons are being operated. The attorneys, asking the licenses for their clients, cited the vote of 5,555 In the 1913 general elections. County Attorney Hoelscher asked for proof as to the number which should be deducted on the split precinct. The attorneys said they will ascertain the correct number in the next week. If this number does not exceed fifty-five voters, two more licenses will be granted. If it exceeds 155 voters, the city will be entitled to no more licenses under the state law.

Wissler entered suit for salary against the Scott Stove and Furnace Works of Cambridge City today. Wissler says the company owes him $1,100 for eleven months service as manager. SUES FOR TRIPS MADE Trips to Centerville at $20 per, and office consultations at $5 per consultation, is what Cecil L. Clark, real estate and industrial insurance agent, asks for his services. The trips in question are a series Clark said he made to Centerville to visit Mrs. Adelaide Houck Mitchell, widow of James Houck, who blew his brains out with a shotgun two years ago. The trips were made for the purpose of going in to details of a suit brought against Mrs. Houck before her recent marriage.

STATEK1EWT OF ISSUES BETWEEN TWO RATIONS

AMERICA'S DEMANDS. May 15 It (the United States government) confidently expects .therefore, that the imperial German government will disavow the , acts of which the government of the United States complains, that they will make reparation so far as reparation is possible, for injuries which are without measure, and that they will take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the principles of warfare. "- June 10 The government of the , United States therefore very earnestly and solemnly renews the representations of its note, transmitted to the imperial German government on the 15th day of May. i The government of the United States deems it reasonable to expect that the imperial German government will adopt the measures necessary to put these principles into practice in respect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships, and asks for assurances that this will bedone. CARPENTERS END CHICAGO STRIKE CHICAGO, July 10. The strike of 16,000 carpenters which has tied up millions of dollars' worth of building operations in Chicago since last April, was called off today. A committee of carpenters, after an all night meeting with representatives of the contractors' association, signed a three-year agreement calling for 70 cents an hour for carpenters the wage for which the men went on strike. In making the agreement, the union waived the demand for further advances in wages in the next three years. The increase from 65 cents to 70 cents an hour, labor leaders declared, was their chief contention. The representatives of the men also agreed to the peace plan which will prevent a strike or lockout during the next three years. This was a concession on the part of the union, which has been fighting against this provision in working agreements. The end of the carpenters strike will result in the resumption of work by nearly 100,000 building trades workmen. Handley Pens Man's Lameni Oh, Weatherman, what have we done to you?

To be dressed for cold or heat. But things she chooses to wear for hers, From head to twinkling feet, Would never do for a man to wear, Or render him fit and cute. And all he can do is to stand and swear At his peach of a Palm Beach suit. L. A. Handley.

Clouds of smoke were followed by a burst ol flame and the hatch had to be battened down while tons of water were poured on the fire. Only the fact that the forward hatches kept the fire on board the Atlantic transport liner Minnehaha within holds No 3 and No. 4 prevented the complete destruction of the British liner at sea, according to one of her officers. This officer said today: How Blaze Started. "If the flames had eaten through the forward hatches it would have been all up with us. The cattle deck stretches the whole length of the ship and once the flames had made their way up through the chances of saving the ship would have been lost." With her sides still smoking hot and with smoke and steam still filling the holds where the fire originated from a mysterious explosion, the Minnehaha left her anchorage at quarantine early and anchored opposite the government steamship terminals. Lighters were lashed alongside and soon stevedores were at work transferring her cargo, which consists chiefly of explosives and firearms. STEAMER GOES DOWN PETERHEAD. Scotland. July 10.
