WHEAT-Scalpers We're happy today
because it was just the kind of market

Inent report did not have the effect ex-
pected and was not bearish after all
when it was observed that the cOndi-
ton was really due to minor states that
raise very little wheat whereas the great
winter wheat regions of the southwest
made an average for themselves of only
Go per cent. Higher Liverpool cables Gre

the complete suspension of construction

THE PRESS
FRIDAY MARCH, 10.

The Maine State College resolve has
now passed both branches of the legisla-
ture, and ia virtually in shape to go to
the Governor. AS passed it appropriates
$50, 900 for ten years. The demand 1--WE
use the word Eadvisedly) of the college
was $50 600, the House cut it down to
S25, 600, and the Senate to 500, 600.
Neither body, however. cut out the OBJ
noxious provision which continues the
appropriation for ten years, and that is
inEthe bill as it goes to the Governor. 1t
seems clear that it is the Governors duty
to vetos.this measure as it now Islands.
The ten years provision is violation of
the spirit Of the constitution, and sets a
dangerous precedent. That ought to be
taken out of it before it is permitted to
become law. Gov. Powers has 1t in
his power to take it out, and by doing SO,
he will, we have little d3ubt, win the cor
dial approval of the great majority Of tho
thoughtful people of this state.

LOST ARcHDukE OF AUSTRIA.
Twice Declared Dead, but Possibly Still
Pursuing His Adventures.

A lawsuit ended in Switzerland within
the last ten days apparently puts to rest
the last rumor of the survival of Captain
John Ortb, long known to the world as
Archduke John Salvador of Austria.
This Hapsburger Prince gave UP his title
and estates that he might be free from
all the eptangling alliances of his family,
and married Ludmilla Stubel, the sister
of q Casino chorus girl. He qualified as
sea captain, bought the full-rigged ship
Margherita, and sailed in her for South
American ports. From one of these ports
he started to round Cape Horn, and nc
news OF him or bis wife has been received
since, although from time to time he was
said to have been found in some remote
part of the earth-once fighting in the
Chlllan army, again commanding 10
warsh1p in the China Japanese war, and
finally cruising among the South Sea
Islands A. professor sent out by the
Emperor Joseph to investigate these re-
ports returned after years absence
with the conviction that Urth still lived,
but he was unable to give sufficient evil
dence to spread his conviction to the rest
of the world, although Orth's rlativeH
hoped on.
The Hamburg Marine Insurance Com
pany, with which Orth insured the
Marguerite, paid the policy. The pay
ment was preceded by some legal diff
culties, however, and these were renewed
recently when a demand was made by
Orth's family on two Swiss banks for
money deposited with them by Ortl be-
fore his fateful voyage. The retiring
Archduke placed 100000 each in the
banks of st. Gallen and Freiburg. The
Breiburg bank acoeded to the demand,
aud the 5000, 900 was transferred to the
Vienna credit institution. The Bank
of ST. Gallen would not give up its de-
posit on demand. however, taking the
ground that the lawful declaration of
Orth' S death could not be made before
the expiration of thirty years from the
time Of his disappearano e; that is, thirty
years from 1890 or in 1920. The courts
decided against his contention, and the
remaining 5000, 600 will be placed in the
same bank with the other.
So the man who preferred to be a no.
body rather than an Archduke virtually
has twice been declared dead by Euro
pean courts although his adventurous
spirit may still be found marching on
through the tales of romanoes and far
away correspondents who are unwilling
to spare his curious personality and de-
vious career from the narratives of today.
