a week previous the figure was 75Rc.
The advance of almost 5 cents was largely
due to reports of deterioration in the
spring wheat. The squirt on Saturday,
however,: was on g. driving In of shorts

On Friday the news was bullish, yet
the market perversely sold lower. This
encouraged the bears to looks for a break.

the pit-wise bears, cit Is now the time

lines were put out around 77hc.
The analysis was lame and thehunch to
sell short proved a bad one. Saturday

would not let the price go under. So the

IS IT BETTER
TO KEEP QUIET?
One Reason Why the President May
Not Recommend Financial
Legislation.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Walter Wellman in
Washington special to the Record-H Herald
says: President Roosevelt is confronted
with a serious problem.
When he calls the special session OF
congress to meet in November, as ne is
determined to do, shall he recommend
financial legislation or not? This question
has been anXiously discussed by some OF
the presidents advisers. including the
members Of his cabinet and New York
financiers. 1t is an important considera-
ton that to call too much attention to the
defects Of the present system is to aid In
bringing about that timidity and anxiety
which always end in trouble. One of the
presidents most highly valued advisers in
finance matters has told him during the
last week that it would be dangerous to
press financial legislation. The only fear
of a money panic in the United States is
that which rests upon what may be called
the psychological feature of the situation.
If the president asks congress to pass a
new currency law and points out the rea-
sons why it should do so, and then con-
gress starts an agitation thru committee
meetings and the Introduction and con-
sideration of bills, alarm may follow.

HUMAN TORCHES
DANCE OF DEATH
Lamp Explodes and Drenches Merry
makers With Burning Oil
One Dead; Five Injured.

New Castle, Pa, Aug. 3.-The4 explo-
sion Of a kerosene lamp at a Slavic
boarding house during a dance caused
fatal injuries to one person and the Sc
rious injury of five others.
The accident occurred at No. 81 Pres
ton avenue in q f1ve-room frame board
ing house occupied by fully twenty-five
Slavs. The celebration became tumult-
uous as the evening wore on, and the
.olent merry making caused the struc-
ture to shake to it's foundation. When
the hilarity was at it's height, the lamp
was pushed over by some of the dancers.
1t exploded, sending flames over nearly a
score of unfortunates. Some put the
flames out and escaped with slight in
juries, while the nearest were so satur-
ated with the infiammable material as
to be turned into veritable human torches.

terrific rush made directly for the vessel
The fish jumped from the water as If to
get at the man in the boat who yields the
harpoon. Unable to do this he charged
at the vessel and diving three feet below
the surface struck the craft with such
force that the sword penetrated the 2h
inch oak plank into the ceiling and a foot
of the blade was broken off.
The blow was felt all over the vessel.
The vessel commenced to leak IN conse-

New York Sun Special Service.
Denver, Col, Aug. 3.-The printers yes
terday adopted resolutions warning the
Citizens Alliance not to go too far with
their threats against organized labor. This
is regarded as the first gun in a fight that
will involve the entire state in an Indus
trial war that has never had an equal in
Colorado. The printers, who have been
the balance wheel of the wage workers in
this territory, say that if the lawless acts
Of the. citizens of Idaho Springs is to be
commended then all law is at an end and
a state of anarchy substituted. Under these
conditions they see no cheerful outlook for
labor.
During the last huge strike in Denver
the alliance said it was organized for the
purpose of promoting peace, but if the
managers throw down the gauntlet, the
printers say, speaking for the entire fra
ternity, that they want the fight to begin
at once and clear the atmosphere as soon
as possible.
