ARMOUR GATHERS
IN FOUR MILLIONS
Big Packer and Lieutenants
Close Out Immense Line
of May Wheat.

CHICAGO, March 16.-With the clos
ing out of a line of 20,000,0O0 bushels
of May wheat today the Armour peo-
pie brought to a close the most re-
markable wheat deal on record. Fanci-
full stories Of immense profits in wheat
have been written before, but for cold,
sober facts, for which the most con-
servatiye traders vouch, the campaign
just ended is considered unique in
Board of Trade annals.
Four million dollars, a million for
each month the deal was pending, is
the lowest estimate of the profits that
accrued to the big packer and his lieu
tenants. Several careful calculators
believe the amount was $5,000,00O. In
the length Of the campaign, In the fren-
zied excitement that featured it when
the tension was greatest, in the inf1u-
ences that contributed to it's successful
termination and in the modest way it
was brought to finish, the deal has
been trade epic.
President A. E. Valentine, of the Ar
mour Grain company chief engineer of
the campaign, is authority for the
statement that one of the "tailers"
cleared 100000 on his line. The op-
Grafton began back in November, when
the May and July prices were in the
seventies. 1t carried the May as high
as S1.091s and the July as high as
99% cents. There was an advance from
the bottom of 80 cents on the May and
26 cents on the July. The market fiat
tened again today, missing the Armour
help.

FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANIES UNITE
Uniform Rates VIII Be Fixed
and Work Done by a
Central Board.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 16. =
The Inquirer tomorrow will say that
the national board of fire Insurance
underwriters at meeting held in New
York today came to an agreement with
a committee of twenty representing
various insurance companies by which
all fire insurance companies in this
country and all foreign companies rep
resented here will form combination.
Uniform rates are 10 be fixed for the
same class of risks IN all cities, uni
form legislation in all states and cities
is to be advocated, and all technical
work is hereafter to be done by a CEN
trail board instead of local state or city
boards, as has been the custom. Old
insurance men state that this is the
first time the companies have been
able to agree upon plans.
Had we gotten together long ago"
said one of the leading insurance men
of the city, 1--WE would not now be see
ing an average ash heap of $150,000,00
every year in this country"
A special committee of seven was ap-
pointed at the meeting to carry out the
plans; and an assessment was made
upon each company to provide a fund
of 100000 annually to carry on the
work. C. A. Hexamer, chairman Of the
local board of underwriters. says:
The committee of seven. will plap and
aid in carrying out similar series of
regulations affecting the safety Of build
ings in all Cities Similar districts in all
cities will be rated same. There will
still be use for local boards in aiding to
carry out the work, but they will not be
left to their own resources, as heretofore,
but will be backed up by a great power.

AGAINST PARKHURST
Jury Says Preacher LibeIed DR..
ScheII.

BOSTON, Mass, March ia supe-
rior court jury today returned a YER
dict in favor of Rev. DR.. E. A. Schell,
of Chicago formerly general secretary
of the Epworth league, in his libel suit
against Dr. Charles Parkhurst editor,
and the Boston Wesleyan association.
publishers, of Zion's Herald. The jury
fixed the damages at $4,000.
The suit arose over statements print
ed in lions Herald in 1899, regarding
the publication by DR.. Schell, in col
laboration with E. o. EXCEL, a COM
poser of Chicago, of sacred song
book for the use of the Epworth league.
The alleged libel was contained in
statements that DR.. Sehell was dis
honest and had utilized his position in
the church for his personal gain. The
defense was a general denial Of the
allegations and a claim that the pub
lished statements were true and priv
ileged.

Senate Committee Ends Two-year Controversy by Re-

the desert land act and the commuta
ton clause of the homestead law. The
heated contests in committee have been
SO frequent that they threatened many
times to break the personal regard in
which the members of the committee
always had held one another The
last three meetings of the committee
were no exception. Last year the COM
mittee reported the bill over the head
Of the chairman, Senator Hansbrough,
but he served notice that it could not
be passed, and 1t died with the con-
gress. This year all the Democratic
members of the committee, except
Senator Dubois and three Republican

making a majority Of l in favor OF
reporting the land bill.
Chairman Hansbrough declined to
put the motion for reporting the bill
without having a chance to be heard
in opposition to the measure. He was
charged with flibuStering, but re-
mained steadfast. That was at the
meeting last week, and the committee
was compelled to adjourn without TAX
ing action. Chairman Hansbrough
talked to members of the committee
individually and gave as his view that
the bill, if passed, would upset the land
laws OF the entire country anu luIll
to Canada the great stream Of immi-
grafton that was now building up the
West. He declared the homestead laE
vital to the interests of the uninproved
West, and suggested to the friends of
the bill that a measure be introduced
for repeal of the timber and stone act
only. He won Senator Nelson to the
same view and the bill was introduced
by Senator Quarles and approved by
the committee.
The house committee Of public lands
today agreed to amendments which it
will recommend to the bill reported to
the house Jan. 81, prohibiting the Sc
lection of timber lands in lieu of lands
in forest, reserves. The amendments
allow owners of lands in forest re-
serves, which lands have not been de-
nuded of timber, to exchange the same
for other vacant surveyed unmineral
lands subject to homestead entry. The
purpose is to prevent persons who have
acquired timber lands and denuded
them from exchanging such lands for
valuable timbered lands elsewhere. The
amendments prevent an injustice to
persons who have not denuded their
holdings in forest reserves.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
The senate committee on public lands,
after a contest extending over two
years, in which an attempt was made
to repeal all of the general land laws
of the country, today authorized a fa-
vorable report on Senator Quarles'
bill to repeal the timber and stone act.
AS reported, the bill has a provision
authorizing the secretary of the inte-
rior to sell at public sale or otherwise
the right to cut timber on government
lands. The bill was amended to pro-
vide that the moneys derived from the
sale of these rights should be convert
ed into the reclamation fund for irri-
cation purposes, and is now identical
with one introduced two months ago by
Senator Hansbrough, chairman Of the
committee.
No bill introduced in congress in
congress in several years has been
pushed with more vigor by it's friends
or fought more stubbornly by it's enc
mics than the original bill fathered by
Senator Quarles, which provided for

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
The bin to amend the forestry law
by providing that timber on public
lands shall in future be sold as stump
age and at public auction, without ces-
sion of lands, was reported today by
the senate committee on public lands.
Quarles introduced the bill, which is
along the lines of the one framed by
Hansbrough. 1t provides that in arid
and semi-arid states the proceeds of
such sales be segregated for the benefit
of the reclamation fund.
This bill is part of the original
Quarles bill, but has been stripped Of
the feature over which a bitter con-
troversy has been waged, namely, that
