His Contentious Under the Veteran Act
Sustained by the Court of Appeals.
New York. Oct. 21.-John j. Fallon,
who was ordered yesterday by the
court of appeals to be reinstated as
warden of The Tombs prison, was sus-
pended from duty on January 6, pend
ing an investigation upon charges
preferred by deputy warden Edward
O'Shea. The charges alleged cruel
and malicious treatment of the pris
oners confined in the Tombs, an un-
governable temper, and conduct pre-
judicial to good order and discipline.
Fallon was removed by the commits
sioner on the charges, but brought
certiorari proceedings, and the appel
late division of the supreme court
handed down a decision reinstating
him on June 20. Fallon's contentious
were that under the veteran act he
could not be removed without cause,
and no cause had been proved. The
court of appeals sustained this conten-
ton. Fallon will receive his salary
for the time of his suspension.

NEW TRIAL FOR M'LAuGHLlN
New York's Former Police Inspector May

New York's Former Police Inspector NAV
Be Reinstated and Retired.
New York, Oct. 21-The decision OF
the court of appeals yesterday in re
versing the Judgment of conviction in
the case of former Inspector of Police
Mclaughlin, the court holding that
the jury that convicted the inspector
OF eXtortioN was biased and that inn
proper evidence was admitted, it is be-
heved will result in his reinstatement
and restitution of back pay. Speaking
of the matter, Police Commissioner An
drews said: Il don't know what we car
do. 1t looks as if we shall have to re-
instate the former inspector. Yet, as
| understand, the reversal is based on
the technical ground of error, and
retlial may be possible. Without hav-
ing looked up the law, 1 should say he
is like man under Indictment. When
he applies for restoration to his posi-
tion, the board will have to accede and
then all we can do is to suspend him on
full pay pending an inquiry as to the
expediency of retrial.' 1t was stated
positively by friends of Mclaughlin tc-
day that he meant to retire as soon
as his honor was clear and the
stain of felony was removed from his
character. They said he had repeat
edly declared he would fight till he
could once more put on his uniform and
that he then would take it off with
pension for life

BRYAN IN M'KiNLEYs DISTRICT.

Display Yellow Badges and Designs.

Sandusky, o., Oct 21.-A sortie into
Major McKinley's old congressional
district was the most important feat
ure of Candidate Bryan's last day In
Ohio, which ended with speech at
Sandusky last night, several hours be-
hind the time called for by the pro-
rramme. The loyalty of the repu blican
candidates former congressional dis
trict was manifested at several places
bv demonstrations to counteract en-
thusiasm for the democratic nominee.
At Wellsville attempts to offset any in
fiuence Mr.. Bryan's appearance and
speech might have were particularly
marked. Yellow badges, yellow hat
bands, yellow streamers tied to brooms
and yellow flags were numerous.
Cheers for Mckinley were heard ire
uuently, and Mr.. Bryan's address was
interrupted so often that he nnaily
turned on his annoyers and addressed
some very vigorous remarks intended
for their benefit. Outside OF this incl
dent the day was devoid OF any new
feature.

Now glance at the above columns of
figures and consider for a moment the
events thatcccurred prior to 1874. dur
ing hicb period the commercial ratio
of silver to gold remained stationary
at Is to /.
The American continent south of the
United States was transformed from
European colonies into sixteen inde-
pendent nations; yet the ratio remain
ed the same.
In Europe great wars disturbed the
indus trial pursuits of the leading ma
tious, such as the battle of Waterloo,
in 1915, the Crinean war of 1876, the
war between France and Austria i'm
1859, and the war between France and
Germany in 1870; yet the ratio was un-
affected.
In the United States the war with
Mexico in 1916, aud the great civil
war from 1865 had no effect upon the
ratio.
Great commercial and financial pam
les occurred in 1857 and 1873, and still
the ratio remained stationary at l5 to
But even more significant is the fact
that the ratio was Unaffected hy the
radical fluctuations in the products of
silver and gold
AS may be observed by glance at
the above percentage uf the worlds
product of precious metals he silver
product belween 1914 and 1873 drop
ped from IA 10 2l per cent, and then
rose to 56 per ceLt., VIII, re it has stood
for the past five ears. The gold pro-
duct during the same period, lose
from "a 10 78 per cent, ana then fell
to Al per cent.
The discovery and development of
the great gold fields of Australia and
California had nD fleet upon the ratio
mot withstanding during the ten
years Fl ON 1851 10 1861 the gold pro-
Duct in the United States was in value
five hundred time. the silver product
Glance again at the above percent
ages of the worlds product of precious
metals and one can see that the pOpu-
lar opinion that there has been al over
production OF silver since 1873 Is simply
u uelusiOn. The products of silver aud
gold during the p Isl % years have been
nearly equal, whereas during the
twenty years 1901 to 1920 the sill
yer product was nearly three times
that of gold. These statistics are for
the whole world aud therefore the
fairest possible test for purposes of a
contrast.
What, then, is the secret for the un-
precedented change n the commercial
ratio of silver 10 gold, which, after CEN
turies of uniformity, rises from l5 to l
in 1873 to 81 to in 1882
: There is but one possible answer and
that is unfriendly and discriminating
legislation.

WHEAT IS STILL Up
No Signs Yet Of Big Break at
New York or Chicago.
MARKET FEVERISH AND EXCITED
Closing Prices at Chicago Yesterday tire
Highest Reached This Year---Brad-
streets Report, Due To-day May
Change the Situation.

New York, Oct. 21.-The excitement
In wheat has considerably aba ted al
though there are no signs yet of big
break in prices. Plenty of noise greeted
the crowd of spectators which filled
the gallery of the produce exchange
when the market opened this morning
Quotations, however, did not fluctuate
with the same rapidity as they did yes
terday, and they failed to make any
new sensational record. Liverpool
cable advices indicated that the bull
ish edge was off the grain market in
that city, at least for the moment.
Bradstreet's usual weekly statement OF
available stock which was due yester-
day, but was delayed on account
of tardy returns, will be issued to-day
and may have the effect of checking
the bull movement. December wheat
closed yesterday at s55s against s45s
Monday, and May sS5s against s8ss
Monday. Local -four men said to-day
that while -four quotations had been
marked up following the advance in
wheat, the advanced prices appeared
to have shut out business to great eX-
tent, with only hand to mouth trade
doing at present
High Water Mark in Chicago.
Chicago Oct. 21.-The wheat mar
ket continues feverish to-day and
prices are up and down. The closing
price yesterday was the highest
reached this year. Indications early
in the day gave no intim alton what
ever of the boom which was seen IN
the closing half hour. Some indiffer-
ence abroad was disclosed by the ca
bles and especially those from Liver
pool. America looks to Europe for di-
rection in the present instance, and
when decline at the place mentioned
was reported the enthusiasm here un-
derwent modification. Bradstreet's
was expected to announce a big in
crease in the worlds stocks, and on
the prospect thereof a few were tempt
ed to sell little wheat short. When
it was learned that the report would
not be made public during the day
there was change of front, no one
caring to remain short over night. Then
when sales of 300, 900 bushels at New
York to Lisbon for export were re-
ported, together with heavy gold i'm
portation, the sentiment rapidly as
sumed bullish appearance, and from
that time until the close it was only a
question of how high prices would go.
Berlin. Paris and Antwerp all quoted
advances corresponding with ours of
Monday. Receipts in the northwest
were heavy, at ,537 cars against 1,433
Tuesday of last week, and 1,436 a year
ago Chicago had 277 cars and in
spected out 10000 bushels. Export
clearances amounted to 495,725 De-
cember wheat opened 771S to 7719, sold
between 77s4 and 1873, closing at 1873
one cent higher than Monday. Cash
wheat was irregular, closing firm at
one cent advance. Receipts at princi-
pal western points 1,303,262 bushels;
shipments, 619,4 bushels Corn and
oats are not affected to-day by the
wheat excitement

In some quarters to the extraordinary
rise in wheat, but bankers who were
questioned said most of it was going
into boarding. They said that the f.
nancial situation was all right now,
and that the treasury gold reserve was
also safe. The gold engaged yesterday
was for the following firms 10

ceived $3.50, 900 in gold on the same ship
Yesterday afternoon it was announced
that the Bank of France had stopped
selling gold for export, which account
ed for the large engagements at the
Bank of England. The opinion was
generally expressed, however, that
the Bank of France would have to
part with some more of it's gold OF
the gold engaged in London by Kid
der, Peabody & Co. of Boston, $1OO, 900
is for the Third National bank of that
city. The gold will go to Boston direct.
Further engagements of gold are ex-

call money being 6 to per cent, while
some loans have been made as high as
8 per cent.
