SENSATIONAL DAY
IN WHEAT PIT
Corner of J. w. Gates and
Associates Reaches
Climax.
PRICES FALL IN GREAT LEAPS
Brokers Struggle to Dispose Of May
Option - Rumorcd, However, That
Gates and Armour Have Formed
Union to Extend Corner TO duly.

Chicago, Arril 23.-One OF the
most celebrated deals ever known on
the Chicago board of trade came to
a climax yesterday. A daring effort
by John w. Gates and associates to
control all of the wheat available in
America for dehvery during the month
of May was apparently ended with
wholesale sacrifice of prospective
profits to escape possible huge losses
on existing investment.
Incidently the result was one OF
the widest sessions ever witnessed
in the Chicago wheat pit. At one
time Prices showed loss of IL 1.2c
a buslel for the day, the price Of the
option being driven down in a SEN
sational series of rGshes to SO 1-2c per
bushel The closing quotation was
$1.00 as against $1.23 less than six
weeks ago.
General opinion is to the effect that
Gates and his friends emerged from
the battle with but little, If any, actual
financial loss. Gossip insists that
they effected an alliance with Armour
e Company and other leading traders
whereby. the Gates party, while oblig-
ed to summarily liquidate May wheat
on an enormous scale yesterday, wer
nevertheless fully protected through
prior and concurrent operations of the
allies in both May and later options.
Another view OF the situation, accord
ing to some observers is that the
new grouping of astute spectators,
including the redoubtable Gates him
self, has merely cleared the decks
for still more gigantic corner in
wheat for delivery during July.
The idea is that the high price
heretofore prevailing for May wheat
has induced securing of the coun-
try by graintraders to secure wheat
TO sell to the bull leaders By drop
ping the price 10 cents bushel yes
terday the sIeculators, assumed to
be in control, have made it clear that
if the country is raked over for wheat
to bring here, they mean to buy it
at figure of their own makir-g. The
rushing of the price down yesterday,
1t is argued, was more Elastic action
than was for the moment, at least.
required by the Gates and Armour
interests, the result being that they
accordingly jumped the price back
to $1.00 per bushel.
The Gates party. it is said, had
figured that the movement of wheat
to market would be practically ex.
hausted before the month of May
arrived. The factor that is alleged
to have caused them to give up the
deal was the steadiness with which
heavy shipments from the interior
continued-this and the disappoint-
ing. long drawn out dullness of the
flour demand and the apparent I'M
concern of the millers.

TCeO'S CAUTIOUS TACTICS.
VIII Not Risk an Attack With His
Entire Fleet

London, April 20.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister to Great Brit
ain, expressed the opinion to the AS.
ISOLATED Press yesterday that Adj
miral Togo would not give battle to
Admiral Rojestvensky with his en-
tire squadron, but would continue the
cautious tactics which characterized
his attacks on the Port Arthur squad
ron, not because he feared defeat,
but owing his desire to inflict the
greatest amount of damage on the
Russians with the least loss to him.
self. While confident of his ability to
accomplish the total destruction of the
Russian squadron in big battle there
is the danger of Togo losing one or
two of his big ships. Therefore Ba-
ron Hayashi believes Togo will en-
ploy his torpedo boats and torpedo
boat destroyers, which number more
than 100, and are vastly superior to
the Russian torpedo boat flotilla, in
karassing the Russians, while gradual
ly picking off the Russian warships.
He said the coasts Of Japan, Korea
and Formosa lend themselves to >.ght
work with torpedo boats while the
narrow channel will make the nan
euvers of large warships difficult ami

PLATT OF CONNECTICUT DIES.

ness.


Washington, Conn, April 22.--Unit-
ed States Senator Orville Hitchcock
Platt Of Connecticut Gied at his sum-
mer home in this, his native town,
at $3.50 last night, from pneumonia.
The end came almost Unexpectedly,
the immediate cause being the break
ing of the absceSS which had formed
in the right lung and produced stran
gulation.
Senator Plat was first elected to
the senate IN 1879 to succeed Sena-
tor w. H. Barnun, a democrat, who
had been elected to fill the vacancy
S. Ferris, republican. His last re-
election was in 1908.
AS regards his political and public
personality, Senator Plat was a man
to the last degree plain spoken.
While not brilliant speaker, he was
a clear and forceful one on the pub
lie platform. using the plain Anglo
Saxon speech without metaphor. This
plain speaking quality belonged to
him in private as in public life, and
was one great source of his intlu
ence, particularly as in both personal
and public relations he was always
approachable.
Probably the most striking feature
in Senator Platt's public life was his
intimacy with the state of Connecti-
cut and its problems and interests as
connected with federal affairs.
Senator Plat was born here on
July 10, 1927, and was nearly Is
years of age. Proud of his strength
and activity, it had been his ambi-
ton, so his friends say, of becoming
the Father of the Senate" in point
of wears.
