Findings Set Aside.

Private S. G. Dixon of Truck Company C
of the District fire department was recent
ly convicted of conduct unbecoming a men,
Der of the department, in that ne refused
to testify before Trial officer Pugh during
the trial of fellow member of the depart
ment. Acting Chief Belt recommended
that the man be fined SIS, but Commission
er Wight, who has immediate charge of
the fire department, recommended to his as
sociates that the fine be set aside. Mr..
Wight's recommendation, which was as fol-
lows. has been approved:
From a personal investigation, am con-
vinced that the matter was not clearly un-
derstood by Mr.. Dixon; that he did not in
tend to be stubborn or to refuse to do what
he ought to have done, and that it was
more a matter Of misunderstanding and
ignorance on his part than anything else.
1 have had a conversation with him, and
am convinced that the above are the facts
in the case. l therefore recommend that
he be not fined, but that he be informed
that whenever he is cited TO appear before
the trial officer in any matter pertaining
to the department. it is his duty to be
sworn and to give such testimony as he can
in whatever case he may be called, and
that this be given out as Information to the
entire department as a guide for their con-
duct on similar occasions"

above the lowest, but net changes were
much mixed.
The course of prices was conflicting in the

apparently without manipulation. The whole

CHICAGO, Feb 26.--It was a weak day in
wheat, July at one time was off lasc and
May &c Closing prices showed lie decline
in both options. 1t was narrow market.
and the weakness was due mere to lack OF
support than to the news, which, however,
favored lower prices. Other markets were
barley steady at slight declines, corn and oats
closing sc lower each and provisions de-
clining 215G15c, pork being the weakest
thing the list.
compared with the weakness it developed
later, was fairly steady: July started &c
lower to 4sc higher at from S9Hsc to S912c,
and May 12c lower at 81 .03. Letters brok-
ers appeared to have some supporting orders
in July at the start and for this reason that
month showed steadiness until May weak
ened badly. Then July followed
Trading in May was very light. There were
a good many more selling orders than the
limited demand could take care of, the
suit being a decline to $1.02 reaction TO
81 02M followed then the market broke
again and worse than before, May this time
going to S.Gt12.
The continued increasing production OF
contract wheat by the mixers apparently
affected May. Forty-three cars of No. L
northern were reported out OF private houses
today. and % cars came from regular sources.
Most of the routine news favored sellers.
Worlds shipments of 100000 bu were looked
for next week. Liverpool was from Bd to
Esd lower, and the crop reports from Cali
fornia and India especially from the latter
country were very favorable The days
clearances from Atlantic ports were equal to
322 000 bu. Northwest receipts were light at
100 cars, against 242 last week, and 230
year ago. Chicago receipts amounted to So
cars.
The weakness which developed in May
soon reflected in July. There was good
deal of selling out by people who have been
'taing" on the Letter campaign, and who
had become discouraged by the recent down.
ward turn to the market, and prices, in
spite of the Letter support, declined stead'l y.
