WHEAT DUE TO KEEP

Everything in sight indicates that

the grain into market, and many a
farmers bin was scraped clean.
When the new crop begins to move,
there will be so many holes to fill that
conservative grain men do not believe
prices can 60 down very much, unless
the farmers are obliged to throw all
their early wheat on the market, which

ASSASSINS SHOTS
STAY RUSS CHIEF
Project Of Police Is Killed in the
Old Capital of
Russia.
CLOSE FRIEND OF
THE CAR MURDERED
Tale of the Shooting of Officers
by Firing Squad Comes
from Libau.

Moscow, July n.-Major General
Count shouvafoff, project of police
here and formerly attached to the min
istry of the interior, was assassinated
this morning while receiving petitions.
One OF the petitioners drew a revolver
and fired five times at the project,
who fell dead. The assassin was ar
rested.
The assassin, who was dressed as a
peasant, has not been identified. He
was recently arrested as a political sus-
pect, but escaped from the police sta
ton before his examination.
The assassin waited in the anteroom
OF the prefecture till the other petition
ers had been received and then, enter-
ing the audienc room, he advanced to-
ward Count Shuvaloff, firing five shots
at close range. The bullets passed thru
the body of the project.
Purely Political Crime.
st. Petersburg, July 1.-THE assas-
slnnation Of Count Shouvaloff at Mos
COW today is considered purely politi-
cal crime, as the count was not yet 40
years old and was regarded as being
OF the best type Of Russian officials.
He came from one of the most famous
families; he was a son Of Count Peter
Shouvaloff, the statesman who repre-
sented Russia at the Berlin conference;
was formerly colonel Of the guard regi-
iment known as the st. Petersburg, and
was one of the czar's personal friends;
AS project of Odessa Count Shouvaloff
earned the esteem of all by his firm but
lenlent course, making himself particu-
larly popular with the students. The
impression exists here that the count
was killed for preserving order.

Detroit, Mich, July 11.-George Ba-
ker, who deserted from the United
States army at Fort Smelling, Mimi,
in July, 1908, has surrendered himself
to the officers at Fort Wayne, Detroit.
. By a slight disqualification Baker
faces conviction and a sentence for de-
sertion. He was under the impression
that his surrender would be followed
immediately by a perfunctory trial and
his discharge, basin1g his expectations
of leniency upon a law that. when two
years have passed after the expira-
ton of desert er's enlistment, if he
has been living in the United States
under his own name, no sentence will
be imposed. -.
Baker made the mistake Of thinking
that the two years dated from the time
Of his desertion instead Of from the
expiration of his enlistment. The two
years from the expiration of his en-,
listment will not be up for another
month. He surrendered month toe

Tobacco Report.
.IAmEs w. -Al.ExA11DER.

Washington, July 11.-Secretary Will
son today turned over to the attorney
general all the papers in connection
with the cotton leak investigation. It
is intimated that this is done with the
expectation that prosecution of the
several persons mentioned in the report
OF the secret service officers will fol-
low. " N's>
Secretary Wilson said today that he
proposed to stand on the report Of the
secret service office. He expected,
give rise to various rumors and stories
Of Irregularities in connection with the
department g reports on other products,
but that where there was the slightest
tangible evidence to work upon, he de-
clared, he would go to the bottom of
every complaint and publish the results
Of his Investigations.
Already, he said, the allegation had
been made that the tobacco figures had
be looked into.
The new system Of preparing the
monthly crop report devised since the
cotton investigation began was put in
force today. That report will be made
| public late this afternoon and the sec.
rotary believes that the steps taken tc
safeguard the figures are well nigh per
feet.
Early in the day Assistant Secretary
Hays, Chief Statistician Hyde and sew

placed in room under lock and key
and they will not be permitted to come
out until 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
The telephones in the room have beer

will be kept of the windows to avoit

Turned on Superiors.

London, July 1.-THE Morning Post

of the recent outbreak at Libau, accord

The government replied that all tho
mutineers must be shot, and shooting
party was formed, but when the order
to fire was given, the firing squad
turned and fred on the officers instead
of on the condemned mutineers, and a
dozen officers fell dead.
Other troops, including Cossacks, the
account says, were summoned, and
serious conflict developed, in which be-
tween twenty and thirty Cossacks were
killed before the mutiny was quelled.

statement comes that the local reform

preciate the gravity of the situation.

He hoped that, in the meantime, the

General Linevitch, having been REIN
forced, would show the Russians in q
favorable light in the field. Events
have upset these calculations. The
country is torn by revolution. Moscow
itself threatens to name provisional
government.

How Depew Earned Salary.

his advice was often asked, and "of
course, freely given. +"
AS a salary raiser, Mr.. Depew said
he lifted young Hyde s salary, to $780,

Of what his father did. He raised
Alexander's to make it even with
Hyde's. -,
records Of the Equitable that Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. had sold a large amount OF
Union Pacific preferred stock to the So
ciety, swore that these records were
false. In various sales of bonds to the
Equitable by his firm he admitted that
a large loss was shown. He confessed
that he had been dummy director,
but said that since the Equltable 8
scandal developed he had bought, tve
shares Of stock, paying $4,000 share.
Hartmann Deals.
It appeared from his testimony, that
Of Mr., HYDE. and others, that the
Equitable had taken 100000 worth
Of Union Pacific preferred, apparently
at the suggestion Of E. II. Hartman.
It appeared that this stock was taken
under a syndicate agreement that IT
should not be sold, making the deal
speculative one. No record OF TINS
agreement was put in evidence. Mr..
Hyde said Hartman had it, but Har-
riman was not called as Witness
Deals by syndicates.
President Alexander admitted that
he was in eight syndicates that sold
| securities to the Equitable. In the
| case of only two Of these did he osten-
gibly pay back profits te the society.
The profits amounted o$40 900, but
he was forced to admit that the Equitt.
able had not yet got the money, u
being in the hands Of a trustee. He
admitted sanctioning leases OF ,Equ a!.
1 company at nominal rental, to the great
loss of the society.
q With his own stock he qualified sew

James n. Hyde admitted participa
curities to the Equitable. He swore
positively that President Alexander
was in all Of these, knowingly. He ad

Hedin Talks War,


of the late king Of Sweden. His wife
is Princess Maud Alexandra.
Hedin Talks War.
Stockholm, July 1l.-War between
Sweden and Norway, with tho NorWe-
gians as the aggressors. is declared to
be an imminent danger by DIR. Sven He
addressed passionate appeal to Swedes
in America to come to the rescue Of the
fatherland by raising a naval defense
fund of $5,000,000. Hedin asserts that
the people of Sweden have lapsed into
unbelievable apathy with regard to the
union crisis, and require urgently to
have aggressive patriotism preached to
Norway, according to Hedin, is realiz-
ing Sweden's indifference and unpre-
paredness, and is preparing for attack.
It has made all it's plans for falling
upon Sweden when it deems the psyche
logical moment has arrived.
Hedin's Appeal.
"Fellow countrymen in America. ,,
says Hedin IS appeal, incredible as 1t
may sound, receive my solemn assurance
that Norway at the present moment is
our country's single enemy. 1t is armed
to the teeth by land and sea with bor-
rowed foreign capital secured in pre-
tense that It was wanted for railway
construction. An alliance with you, an
alliance of sympathy and substantial
support, is the only alliance Sweden
needs. No matter how light your finan-
cial contribution, your vigorous. lnltla-
tive would have powerful effect on
your drowsy kinsmen here, whose awak-
ening from the sleep Of fancied security
is the imperative need Of the hour.'
War Spirit Subsiding.
Hedin's description of the apathy Of
the people seems only slightly over
drawn. Whether it is due to a disin-
clination to mar the fete in honor of
the Homecoming of the heir apparent s
bride, Princess Margaret Of Connaught,
whom Stockholm welcomed brilliantly
yesterday, or whether it is born Of the
realization that Sweden has to reckon
with unalterable facts in Christiania, is
difficult for foreign observer to say.
4 There is no doubt, however, that the
war spirit is subsiding. The king and
the crown prince are said to have sue
ceeded in inspiring the aristocratic and
military personages who have hitherto
| made up the war party, with the con.
| viction that there must be no war ex:
cept in the event of a wanton attack
by Norway.
Surprisingly little popular interest Il
manifested in the Forthcoming report OF
the riksdag commission, on which hinges
!. the question Of war or peace. The re
port is expected this week.
