Board of Trade Agent Discovers How
Quotations Get Out.

New York, Aug. 1s.-An agent of the
Chicago board of trade has stopped a
leak in the grain market quotation ser
vice in this city and caused the arrest
of telegraph operator who was accus-
ed of supplying the service to bucket
shops in Boston and Albany. The po-
lice raid caused by the Chicagoan Gre
ated much interest on upper Broadway
where it took place. fl
For long time agents of the Chicago
board have been searching for the
source from which several bucket shops
in nearby cities were procuring quota
tions claimed by the board as the ex-
elusive property of it's members. Final
ly suspicion alighted on a room adj
joining a branch of the Consolidated
Stock Exchange which also is a MEM
Der of the Chicago board. A hole had
been cut over a door which was seal
ed Through the hole the quotations on
the blackboard were plainly visible.
Detectives burst in the door during OK
change hours. They found an operator
sitting on a chair on a table, with his
eye to the aperture over the door and
one hand on a telegraph key he was
sending out the quotations as they APP
peared on the board. Magistrate ON

PROTESTS OVERRULED.
Battleship Connecticut VIII Be Christ
ened With Wine.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Despite the
protest OF the Christian Endeavor So
cieties of Connecticut the traditional
bottle of wine will be broken across
the prov of the battleship Connecticut
when she is launched at the New York
navy yard next month.
On behalf of the Christian Endeav-
orers of Connecticut, r. E. Spooner
forwarded to the navy department a
number of petitions requesting that
wine be not used at this function.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling
in his reply expressed disbelief that
the breaking of a bottle of wine on the
PROV of a battleship could do harm
and closed with these words:
Finally, permit me to suggest that
you and the three millions of people
you represent ought to find comfort in
the thought that wine thus expended
can neither imperil the soul nor con-
tribute to the cup of human SORROW

American legation will acknowledge
the receipt of the porte's note con-

same treatment to American schools
and kindred schools as is granted to
the most favored nation, subject to
the usual departmental formalities.
The verbal assurances given Minis
ter Leishman by Isset Pasha, score
tary of the palace, and Nedjib Mel
hame. assistant minister of public
works, that the list of American
schools will be Immediately recognized
which Mr.. Leishman subsequently en-
bodied in a note to the porte with the
intention of obtaining the porte's Of
have been disapproved at the palace,
hence the porte's reservation that in
stead of immediate recognition as in
the case of France and the other
powers, the American list must be sub
mitted to the scrutiny of the minister
of public instruction and the necessary
permits obtained before it will be of
fcially recognized. 1t is anticipated
that objections will be raised to some
of the schools.
The legation, however, declares it is
satisfied but at the same time points
out that undue delay in the execution
of the undertaking would surely be
followed by fresh troupIe.

at Dodge City not quite so wide, fair
valley at Cimmaron at Garden City 8 to
8 miles and about the same at Laktn-
The average width of the first bottom
land from Wichita to Lalkin was 2 to
miles, according to the belief of the
witness. The second bottom lands ex-
tend about miles north and east OF
Burton, which is miles from the Ar
kansas river.
Witness said he had seen this Arlxan-
saS river at intervals since he came
here, and that the average depth of the
water, exclusive of May June and July,
was about 21k feet during the first 10
years after he came here. 1t has not
been so great since that time as about
one-tenth of the time the river has been
dry. The average flow at present was
not more than inches.
The width of the river in early years
was / 100 to 1900 feet but it is now at
least one-third narrower by reason OF
the trees growing on the bars during
dry weather. There are now many
such islands and bars that did not ex-
list in an early day. Witness said the
narrowing of the river and the filling
up of the bed tended to cause the river
~ did with the same amount of water
Witness said this had been the re-
suit during the heavy rains OF July,
1904. which were not allowed to run Off
readily.
Witness said this valley was under
laid by a stratum of water which ex-
tended parallel with the Arkansas riv-
er. This underf1ow had been lowered
between and feet at witness place.
This was determined by digging into
the ground. The current of the under
flow and the surface of the water in
the ground corresponded with the wa
ter in the open river. The rise and fall
of the water was noticeable in wells at
Burton, miles from the river. The
trend of the underfiow at Burton was
southeast and so far as witness knew
it was the same both above and below,
that point.

LOST HIS HEAD.
Imported Strike Breaker Began Shoot
ing on First Chance.

Chicago. Aug. 1s.-F'ire in the north
east corner of the stock yards today
gave rise to exciting rumors that in
cendiaries were at work. Sparks pre-
sumably from a passing locomotive
fell into a pile of hay. The blaze
was quickly extinguished.
George b. Bailey, an Englishman,
who was employed by packers agents
at Ellis island as soon as he landed
from his native land, lost his presence
of mind when his train drew into the
stock yards today. A menacing look
ing crowd had gathered at the tracks.
Bailey, getting out his revolver, began
shooting. He fired five shots and
was reloading his weapon when a po-
liceman arrested him. No person was
hit by Baileys bullets.
