place visit The property taken was
especially priced by Edna Wallace
Hopper as heirlooms. 1t had been care
fully stored away during the altera-
ton of some of the rooms at the beau
tiful villa.
The robbery is one of the boldest in
the annals Of crime in the county.
Evidently familiar with the ground and
knowing just what they wanted and
how to get it, the thieves drove up the
private driveway with their wagon as
close as they dared and then proceeded
to the storehouse from which they
wrenched the lock with jimmy. From
the tracks backward and forward
around the place a number of trips
must have been made between the
wagon and the storehouse. With prob
ably several hours of darkness to spare
they were miles away before there was
sufficient light to disclose to any
passerby what was in their wagon.

NATURALIZATION OF ALIENS.
Secretary Hays recommendations
Laid Before Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Secretary
Hays recommendations on the ma
turalization of aliens, laid before Con-
gress, are that the law should restrict
naturalization to certain courts def
nitely named and forbid all other
courts from entertaining naturaliza-
tion proceedings; that the nature of
the testimony upon which naturaliza-
ton may be conferred should be more
particularly prescribed by law than
it is now: tbeA-sthe language and
form of certificates should be pre-
scribed; that they should be printed
upon a particular paper, made for the
purpose, so as to prevent the extensive
counterfeiting which now prevails,
and that all courts having power to
rfaturalizes should be. required to make
returns of naturalization to the gen.
eral Government

Among the Traders In

Chicago, April 22.--The Gates cor
ner on wheat went to smash this
morning amid panic on the board OF
trade. The May option scored loss
OF six cents within few minutes, Gre
atlng n verItable riot among tho trad
ers who had been relying upon Ar
monr to hold the market TO the dollar
seventeen mark.
The slump this morning was follow
ed by the announcement that the
Gates crowd and the Armour and
Northwestern people associated with
Armour as big holders OF cash wheat
finally agreed upon a settlement and
the closing out of the May wheat deal
May wheat closed at dollar-ten
Thursday and opened this morning at
a dollar.nine. With the announce.
ment that the big men decided to get
out the option dropped TO a dollar
five and then down to dollar.tGree.
Was a Monster Deal.
Never in the history OF the grain
trade has there been a deal 80 long
drawn out or Of such magnitude as
the present May wheat deal. Never
have the principals on the bull and
the bear SIDES been able to cover their
tracks and hide their identity as in
this monster deal.
The lowest price for May wheat on
the deal was s1.0S and the highest
price s121h, with the happy medium
around s115--the level that has been
the most popular. ~
The largest holdings OF the Gates
party on the deal was estimated by
conservative men at 25,000,000 900
bushels. II Is believed that the Gates
party will have 10 take IN and pay for
100000 bushels OF cash wheat, and
the question that VIII face them will
be: What Is TO become OF the
corpse"
The losses, unless the Gates crowd
has been protected, is believed to
eclipse anything In the history OF the
big exchange hall, where Joe Letter
dropped a cold S11,000,000 in his at.
tempt TO corner wheat in 1898, and
where odd Hutch" and Ed Partridge
made and lost fortunes.
