WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug 13.-By
order of the president, Col. Robert l..
Mead, of the United States marine
corps, will be retired Oct. next In his
present grade. Because of a disre-
spectful letter which Col Mead re-
Gently addressed to the navy depart
ment, the president took advantage of
the law which provides that when an
officer in the army or marine corps
shall have reached the age of sixty
two years he may be retired on his
own request or by order of the presi-
dent.
Col. Mead recently requested that he
be retired at an advanced grade. The
law does not permit officers in the
marine corps to be retired with adj
vanced grade, but the president ap-
proved Mead application for retire
ment. Displeased because his request
had not been granted without modifi-
cation, it is said that Col. Mead adj
dressed another letter to the depart
ment requesting that his application
be withdrawn and charging, among
other things, that the conditions under
which he desired to be retired had been
ignored.
The acting secretary recommended
that Col. Mead be allowed to with
draw his application for his retirement
and that he be relieved in accordance
with the law on his sixty second birth
day. President Roosevelt approved the
recommendations

THREE TIMES RICH
AND NOW BANKRUPT
Edward L. Dwyer, Young Hus-
band of Aged Woman, Has
Queer Ups and Downs.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-EdWard L.
Dwyer, who has thrice been a million
aire, today filed a petition in bank
ruptcy with the clerk of the United
States district court. The liabilities
are fixed at $S74,S55; assets. $3.50. Most
of the liabilities are secured.
DWyer was born in Connecticut for
ty-three years Of age and at the age of
twenty-five years went to Mexico, where
he realized ST. 100000 through the devel-
opment of land and the construction
of a railroad. Then ne went to Chi
cago and entered into wheat specula-
tion. He made several million dollars,
but lost all.
In 1893 he married the Duchess de
Castelluchia a New York woman, who
many years previously had been mar
ried to an Italian nobleman. The
duchess possessed many acres of orange
groves in Florida. She was seventy
three years old, while Dwyer was thir-
ty-three. Not long after the marriage
Mrs. Dwyer died, leaving an estate. of
over $3,000,000. She bequeathed $40
of this amount to Dwyer The will was
fought for six years, but finally was
admitted to probate by the surrogate
of New York city.
After the death of his aged wife,
Dwyer went all over the West, organ
izing mining and land companies, many
OF which are said to have returned
vast sums of money to the investors.
From these deals he says he received
little or nothing. In 1900 DWyer en-
listed in the marine corps in the Brook
lyn navy yard for three years and was
sent to Manila, where he was known
as Millionaire Marine" After one
years service, on the application of
friends, he received an honorable dis
charge

manded SO cents. The only trouble
was that there was not enough to meet
the demands. This, is the highest price
paid for wheat in Minneapolis since
the year 1898, when Letter, the Chi

Conditions, however, are very differ
ent today. Then everyone was specu-
lating. Today the public seems to take
very little interest in the wheat mar
ket. 1t is not an unnatural imitation
that has put the price up, but the In
sufficiency of the supply.
There seems to be practically no
spring wheat in the country. Stocks in
Minneapolis have been reduced to
about 100000 bushels, and the daily
receipts are only about half dozen
cars. The present output Of the mills
uses up about 100000 bushels each
week, and at the present rate of con-
sumption it looks as though the supply

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The business
and crop situation of the West, North
west and Southwest is set forth by
1.O63 banking correspondents of the
Commercial National bank. 1t is a
comprehensive and intelligent narrative
from a particularly competent set OF
narrators.
OF the winter wheat states, two only
Kansas and Michigan-show better
average conditions than last year. In
Nebraska and Wisconsin the average
is within 1 per cent of the previous
year. The remaining winter wheat
states, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Missouri, show decreases ranging
from II per cent to 40 per cent, the av-
erage estimate being IL per cent less
than last year.
In the spring wheat states Minnesota
and North Dakota show decreases of
per cent and 80 per cent, respective
ly; South Dakota, IL per cent increase.
The average for the district is an 8 per
cent decrease. In the Southern and
Southwestern states wheat is relative
ly not so important crop, but shows
a better average condition, Texas re-
reporting an average of IS per cent.
In the corn belt decreases ranging
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-14

from 36 per cent to 80 per cent are re-
ported. In few extreme Northwest
ern states, where corn is not an i'm
portant crop, a considerable percentage
of increase is shown, although this
does not materially affect the average.
The oats crop will be to 10 per cent
short of last year; the rye and barley
crop show on the average slight de-
creases.
How the Banks Fare.
The intenior banks report, almost
without exception, that they are in
better position than last year, and that
not so much discount accommodations
will be requlFed and probably not so
much currency to move the crops.
Bankers have been discouraging farm
land and real estate speculation. In
some instances patrons seeking such
accommodations have been Informed
that banks will not make advances to
meet land payments, nor permit large
amounts of funds to become tied up IN
real estate for speculative purposes.
1t would seem in this manner that
speculation in farm lands as compared
with a year ago has been curtailed.
Replies received from banks in the
forty-two larger cities indicate that
the banks, with few exceptions, are
strong in reserves and in good condi-
tion to finance the crops.
All agree that general conditions are
sound and satisfactory, and seem to feel
that such conditions are likely to con-
tinue.

CONGRESS MAY BE
CONVENED IN OCTOBER
President Thinks 1t Well to Smooth
Things for National Convention.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 13.-The
members of the senate finance COM
mittee have concluded their conference
with the president here. While an ex-
ira session of congress next fall is as
sured it has not been determined defl-
nitely whether it will be called to meet
in October or in November. 1t mas
been supposed that the session would
convene on Nov. Q, but the indications
now are that it will be called for per-
haps several weeks earlier
The primary purpose of the session
will be to enact legislation making op-
erative the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
but financial legislation also will be
pressed upon the attention of congress
soon after it convenes.
1t is understood that the suggestion
of an extraordinary session of congress
at a date earlier than Nov. was made
by Senators Platt, Aldrich and Spoon
er because of the urgency of the Cuban
legislation. 1t was pointed out, too,
that if congress were convened at an
early date the entire work of the extra
and regular sessions could be cleared
by the time the national conventions
are to be held next year. On many ac-
counts that is regarded as desirable.

WOMAN OF COLOR
CRATES ON LYNCH|NG
Mrs. G. Cravatt Simpson, of
Boston, Refers to Beams,
Notes and Such.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 13. -
Some remarks on lynching delivered
by Mrs. G. Cravatt Simpson, of Boston,
caused excitement today at the opening
session of the annual convention of the
Northeastern Federation of Women's
Clubs, an organization of colored
women.
Mrs. Simpson, who is a member of
the Woman's Era Club Of Boston, de-
clared that there was no better time
than the present for the convention to
put itself on record regarding lynchingS
and she called for the adoption of res
olutions to be sent to President Roose-
welt. The resolutions Will be presented
later.
Mrs. Simpson said the club MEM
bers should conceive feasible means
and suggest to the government Of the
United States whereby they should
chastise their own lawless children,
better known as lynchers, instead OF
the contemplated sending of messages
across the water to other countries,
instructing them what they must do
and what they must not do as regards
the butchering of human souls, While
they at the same time encourage bar
becues of the same kind.
1.-The barbarism of these so-called
civilized lynchers," said the speaker,
sis analogous to the atrocities of their
forefathers who had ships plying the
African coast laden with thousands of
human souls to sell into bondage. Their
revolving heartlessness and the crimes
of today might make the devil wonder
and hell recognize it's own likeness"
Miss Elizabeth Carter, of New Bed
ford, Mass, spoke of the attack on
Booker T. Washington in Boston and
pleaded for an Endorsement of his work
by the convention. She said:
when / think of the recent insults
offered to him, feel that those who
are responsible for that affair in Bos-
ton are not our people, nor part of the
race that am in. We ought to be
proud to have such man one of u.s."

VESUVIUS STRIKES
PEOPLE WITH PANIC
Alarming Activity Follows Earthquake
Shocks, With Loud Detonations.

ROME, Aug. 13.-Vesuvius is again
causing intense alarm in the surround
ing region, the eruptions of the vol
cano being very heavy today This
alarming activity which followed the
shocks of earthquake is augmenting.
The detonations are very loud and al
most continuous, while from a fresh
opening at the base of the principal
crater two streams of lava are issuing,
which within a few hours covered a
wide tract of ground. One stream has
covered ground already arid from pre-
vious eruptions, but the other is going
swiftly towards the village of Otta-
jano, the direction taken by the fa-
nous eruption of 1872
The whole district around the vol
cano is shaken by frequent earth
shocks and a panic prevails, the popu-
lation crowding the churches to pray or
gathering in open spaces for safety.
Experts, however, affirm that so far
there is no reason to fear a serious
disaster.

1t is stated that King Peter has in
vited Jovan Avakumovitch, the pre-
mier both under the late king and
himself, to reconstruct the cabinet
with the idea of excluding the three
ministers whose irreconcilable attitude
precipitated the crisis, as they refused
to consent to the military credits un-
less all state officials who enjoyed the
late kings confidence were dismissed.

likelihood of the price being reduced
at present, as wheat for September de-
