Council Bluffs Iowa, May 1.-The con-
junction of big convention of women and
a demonstration by appreciative Iowans
over the home coming of Minister Conger

of unusual happenings.
The biennial convention of the Iowa
Federation of Women's Clubs opened this
morning, completing nearly all of its
scheduled exercises and closing early
enough at noon to permit the members to
join the throng greeting Minister Conger
at the public reception at the Grand be-

Memphis, Tenn, May This city gave
the president and his party a notable well
come last night There were a parade, a
reception in Court Square, where McKin-
ley spoke, a reception by the Twentieth
Century club and a banquet. At the IAN
uuet the president referred to the resolu-
ton passed by the legislature of Tennes-
see in 1847 advocating and urging the
construction of a great transcontinental
railroad to the Pacific coast. Continuing
he said;
THAT was the thought, that was the
purpose, that was the spirit of the people
of Tennessee fifty years ago-no question
as to whether 1t was to be the central line
or the southern line or the northern line;
the real question was the connection of
this great north and south of ours with
the Pacific ocean, thus leading US out to
the great markets in the orient. What
your legislature a half century ago re-
solved should be done has already been
accomplished. We do not have one but
we have five lines connecting the Atlantic
with the Pacihc-the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific, the Atchison, the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific, max
ing five transcontinental lines connecting
the two oceans. The government of the
United States assisted in the building of
these roads. 1t guaranteed, away back in
the sixties, $64 900 900 of the Pacific rail-
road bonds, and became responsible for
their payment, and took a second mort

party arrived here to-day. Relatives from
Des Moines and reception committee
greeted the party. Regarding the Iowa
goYernorship, Mr.. Conger said:
If the nomination for governor is offered
me shall probably accept it. After consul
tation with my friends in Des Moines, 1 may
be willing to strengthen the statement al
ready made, or I may change it altogether.
Until 1 have opportunity, however, to advise
with my friends, 1 can say nothing further.
Major Conger added he had been ad-
vised of the action of Editor Perkins OF
the Sioux City Journal in withdrawing
from the gubernatorial race in his (Con-
ger's) favor, and expressed his apprecia-
tion, but he could not discuss the effect
that it might have on his own course.

PHILLIPS DOUBLE CORNER
SAID TO CONTROL OATS AND CORN
May Oats Makes u New High Record
in Reaching 2S5s
Cents.

Chicago, May Developments on the
board of trade to-day are said to indicate
that George H. Phillips has successfully
formed corner in both May corn and
May oats. On May contracts he took in
about 2,500,000 bushels of corn and 1,500,-
900 bushels of oats this morning.
May corn opened with sales from 49e to
4S15c. Shorts who bad sold corn to Phil
lips and could not deliver bid the market
up to soc during the first hour and q
half. Phillips also bid occasionally, but
turned seller at SOC and closed the mar
ket Ia net higher at 1870.
Shorts in May oats also seemed to be in
his power. The price advanced from 26hc
to 2SSsc, new high record, reacted and
closed 1011sc net higher at 27B@2Sc.
The assumption that the markets have
been cornered is based chiefly on the fact
that deliveries of corn and oats to-day
account for nearly all the contract stocks
now here in store. The shorts Of course
have until the end of the month to de-
liver and whether the short interest Is
large is question only Phillips can an

ADVANCES BY BOUNDS
UNION PACIFIC THE SENSATION
Determined Buying in Large Blocks
Sends the Stock Up 121s
Points.

New York, May 1.-Union Pacific again
furnished the sensation OF the stock mar
ket to-day, and though the movement was
much quieter than yesterday,it still was
abnormally active. When Union Pacific had
crossed 119, the stock leaped upwards by
large fractions and a point on the pur-
chas Of tens of thousands of shares in
blocks Of 1000 to 5000 shares until it had
touched 129, rise of 1917 points. The
convertible bonds of the company ad-
vanced in sympathy with the stock.
This unexpected outburst sent the bears
flying to cover. and there was violent
rebound all through the market, which
reached from 2 to points in the stocks
most nearly related to Union Pacific, or
which had been most depressed before
North Western rallied AZ and Northern
Pacific go.
The vibration of Union Pacific was very
feverish below 129 down to 123 and the
whole market was unsettled. Trading be-
came much less active, dealers waiting for
more definite news in Union Pacific, or
a more stable fuctuation in the general
market.

MARSHALL'S CHANCES
Regarded as the Leading Candidate
for Grain Inspector.

L. D. Marshall is the leading candidate for
chief grain inspector and his appointment is
likely to be announced by the commission in
a day or two. Mr. Marshall is an old grain
man, and is now in the employ of the st.
Anthony and Dakota Elevator company as
travelling inspector. His headquarters are in
Minneapolis, but his residence is at Crooks
ton. He has never been prominent in politics.
Should he be appointed, he will not displace
E. S. Reishus until the close of the crop year,
about Aug. 1.
Marshalls chief competitor is G. F. Moul-
ton of Minneapolis, another old grain man,
a former inspector and republican worker.
The commission is wrestling with the APP
pointment problem to-day. The entire list
of applications is being gone over. No ap-
pointments will be announced until practi-
cally the whole slate is agreed upon, so that
the matter may be nearly closed up by sin
gle announcement. The announcement may
be expscted tomorrow or next day, however.

BUCKET SHOP PENALTY
1t Goes Into Effect TO-day-Only
Four Shops.

To-day the penalty for nonpayment of
the bucket shop tax goes into effect The
amendment to the war tax revenue law
provided for an additional tax of $50 per
year, making the total Of 500 per year
from July l. The first quarter tax OF
$3.50 additional took effect April first, and
should have been paid by the first of May
The penalty for non-payment is 80 per
cent.
AS far as can be learned only four firms
have bought the required stamps. 1t is
evident that the commission men will
make a test case. 1t is also evident that
members of the chamber of commerce
who may be actually "bucketing" and who
would properly come under the law could
not pay the tax, for in so doing they would
admit that their firms were doing
bucket shop business and consequently
would be subject to expulsion. Apparently
the chamber will have to amend its rules
in case the government decides that any
large percentage of its members ran
bucket shops.
