made and afidavits taksn by the association. He
described sweeping removals made by Post
master Jones, of Indianapolis, and the avowals
by that official that none but Democrats would
be appointed, regardless of civiservics exam
nations. He detailed the defects in the postal
serves which resulted. Three weeks elapsed
between the mailing and delivery of drop
letters. Carriers were appointed who
could not read the addresses on letters.
Letter boxes were unvisited until they were
filled to oVer1owing. mail car was sent from
Indianapolis TO Lafayette with no messenger
aboard and all the mail was brought back to
Indianapolis. The assistant postmaster, the
witness was informed, had, previous TO his ap-
pointment by Jones, been connected with a
gambling house. The witness described an IN
vestig By himself resulting in the discovery
that out of 136 of euspension-all or
nearly all. presidential postmasters-only two
ever informed of the charges or the reason
for removal The witness called upon the PTesi-
deut and found that he knew of these removals.
Tue President said it was impossible to 1et the
parties know the charges They were doing the
best they could. The President expressed the
hope that the association would 60 slow, as he

Here concludes the remarkable narrative
Of Mr.. Paul Rodney. IL is to be wished that
he had found the patience to tell us a little
more. The circumstance of his dying in
1923 worth SCI coo leads me to suspect that
his associate, Tassard, greatly exaggerated
the value of the treasure. am assured that
he lived very quietly, and that the lady he
married, who bore him two children, both of
whom died young, was of IA nun-like sim
plicity of character, and loved show and ex-
traEagance little us her husband. Hence
there is no reason to suppose that he squat

the most extraordinary manner ever heard of
fallen into his hands | have ascertaiaed
that he very substantially discharged the
great obligation that his relative Mason laid
him under, and that his three men received
81 ,000 apiece. 1t is possible then, that the
pirates were themselves deceived; that what
they had taken to be gold or silver ingots
were not all SO; or it might he that the case
of iewelry was less valuable than the admir-
ring and astonished eyes of plain sailor,
who admits that he had never before seen
such n sight, figured it. Be this, however
as it may, it is nevertheless certain, as proved
by Mr. Rodney's last will and testament, that

MARKETS BY TELEoRAPH.
Produces.

CHICAGO. Sept. 24-Trading in wheat was
active and the feeling decidedly unsettled
within higher range of prices, accompanied
with considerable excitement at times. Shorts,
influenced by the situation as it now presents
itself, were anxious to cover, and there was but
little disposition to sell at least 10 shorts"
though some realizing on "long" wheat oc-
CURED, and had it not been for this, prices
would have run still higher. At times the
offerings were light, most of the operators who
are long feeling confident of higher prices.
Cable advices quoted quiet and unchanged
markets, and the opening here was steady at
about Saturdays closing; became strong and
advanced 12(G5se; then eased off a tritie and
ruled steady for while but later rallied sharply
on active buying, which started 'shorts"
to covering, and prices, with some
fluctuations, were advanced 25Sc for
December which is the leading future,
above the early or inside prices. The cause for
this sudden advance was the very bullish news
received from the Northwest, particularly
Duluth, where wheat was excited and higher
without quotations for May several cents above
the New York market. Advices from the
Northwest noted an active competition between
the mills for the offerings of choice wheat.
Another feature which aided materially in
strengthening the market was the decrease in
visible supply. Operators had calculated upon
an increase, but the blackboard figures showed
that the increase would be light and might pos

result was posted. The market held firm at
the advance, closing about &c higher for Octo-
Der, 21sc higher for December, and &c higher
for May than closing figures Saturday. Spec
ulatlve trading in corn was quite active and
the feeling little unsettled. The market
opened &c lower than the closing prices of
Saturday and then sold off &c, advanced sc,
reacted &c, and closed H9ssc lower than Sat
urday. Trading was active early and the feel
ing after the weak opening was better,
and covering by shorts. The large
creased offerings, and this and the estimates
some selling of May for country account.
Trading largely in Oct. An easy feeling
prevailed in oats, with decline of about &c.
Receipts were large, and there was a liberal
increase In visible. Mess pork was moder-
ately active at the opening and market weaker.
Offerings were free and buyers rather scarce.
First sales were at &c decline, and then broke
10(G15c The break induced fair buying; the
selling pressure decreased, and firmer feel
ing prevailed; prices advanced 10G2211c, and
the market closed steady. A fair business in
lard was done in the more distant futures. A
prominent operator sold freely and filed buy
ers up. The opening sales were at about the
same figures as Saturdays close; declined 5(1
l0c on the longer futures, became strong and
were weaker and lower early under free offer
ings and an absence of demand; later frmer
feeling set in and most Of the decline was re-
covered, and the market closed steady.
The leading futures ranged as follows.
