ing TO a decision filed today by Judge
Vinje Of the circuit court of this dis
trict the act of the common council of
Superior in granting the Duluth-S -Supe-
rior Street Railway company an ex-

CORNER IN JULY SEEMS TO
BE ON THE TAPIS
Never Yet Did the Chicago Pit Wit
ness SO Riotous Day---Price of
the May Option Falls 11H Cents---
Gates Party Said to Have Effected
an Alliance With Armour

CHICAGO, April 22.-One of the
most celebrated deals ever known or
the Chicago board of trade came to a
climax today. A daring effort by John
w. Gates and associates to control atI
of the wheat available in America for
May delivery was apparently ended
today with a wholesale sacrifice of
prospective profits to escape possible
losses on existing investments. Incl
dentally the result was one of the wild
est sessions ever witnessed in the Chi
cago wheat pit
At one time prices showed a loss Of
1112 cents a bushel for the day, the
price of the option being driven down
In sensational series of rushes to
SS12 cents per bushel. The closing
quotation was. 81, as against $1.23
less than six weeks ago. General opin-
ion tonight is 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 and other
leading traders, whereby the Gates
party, while obliged to summarily liqui-
date May wheat on an enormous scale
today, were, nevertheless, fully protect
ed through prior and concurrent oper-
atoms of the allies in both May and
later options.
Bigger Corner in View
Another view of the situation is that
the new grouping of astute specu-
lators, including the redoubtable Gates
himself, has merely cleared the decks
for still more gigantic corner in
wheat for delivery during July. The
idea is that the high prices heretofore
prevailing for May wheat has induced
a securing of the country by grain
traders to secure wheat to sell to the
bull leaders. By dropping the price 10
cents a bushel today the specuIators

MOROS ATTACK J0LO
War in the Philippines Takes
New Lease

MANILA, April 22.-The walled city
of Jolo was attacked by Moros on April
3. They fired into the officers club and
dispersed those present at a ball which
was in progress. On April 10 the Sec
retary of Gov. Scott was ambushed and
killed within range of the sentries.
A datto refugee from Borneo has or
ganized the Moros who are defying the
Americans. Gen. Leonard Wood has
arrived at Jolo from Zamboanga and
given the Moros ten days within which
to surrender the refugee datto. If this
is not done he will concentrate a suffi-
cient force to secure compliance with
his demands.

waters are the direct result To have
the emperor give a decisive order, it is
held here, signifies that such order
must be obeyed, whereas Vice Admiral
RoJestvensky has exercised his per-
sonal discretion as to observing orders
emanating from the Russian admiralty
concerning French waters off the coast
or Madagascar. 1t is the official appli-
cation of the order that the departure
OF the squadron should occur today
However, it is recognized that DELAYS
might occur in getting the emperor's
orders to Rojestvensky, as 1t took four
days for Rojestvensky's last telegram
to reach st. Petersburg. This is due
TO the remote and desolate character
of Kamranh bay.
Heretofore Kamranh bay has been
an unknown spot, although an adven-
turous Frenchman, the MARQUIS de
Munville, has established a small COL
ony there. The marquis uses this col-
ony as base for hunting expeditions
and for carrying on a considerable
trade with coast points. Except for
this primitive settlement, Kamranh bay
mas no habitation, no telegraph, no
custom house and no official establish
ment of any kind.
The Journal des Debatsr today pub
fishes long editorial article on the
tranco-Japanese incident, which says:
While Japan's anxiety is naturally
great over the approach of the Russian
squadron, yet Japanese public opinion
seems to have given proof of too much
emotion and sensitiveness. The facts
concerning the presence of the Russian
squadron in Kamranh bay have not
been exactly known and nothing indi-
Gated our intention to disregard known
facts. Nevertheless, Japan shows great
public effervescence. The Japanese
press comments freely, and public
meetings have been organized to de-
nounce our supposed hostile attitude
toward Japan. 1t Is surprising that
such things should occur in a country
where one hardly expects to see street
opinion substituted for diplomacy"

CHURCHMEN ASK
REMOVAL Of FULTON
Central Presbyterian Church
Factions Lining Up for
Serious Clash

The members of the Central Presby-
terian church are waiting with bated
breath the outcome of a determined
movement now being made to oust the
Rev. John Mayhem Fulton from his
pulpit by men opposed to the pas
tor.
Petitions asking the resignation of
Dr. Fulton were drawn up and placed
IL the hands of the trustees and elders
of the church on Tuesday of last week
and the active circulation of them was
begun Immediately. The entire mem
bership Of the church. one of the larg-
est and strongest Protestant congre-
cations in st. Paul. will be canvassed
Tor signatures to the petitions, and
as soon as this work is completed the
signed documents will be presented to
DIR. Fulton for his consideration.
The form of the petition Is simple.
1t is addressed to DR.. Fulton and states
that the signers believe 1t to be for the
best interests of the church that he re-
sign from his pastorate, and they re-
quest that the resignation take effect
not later than September l.
The petition. say its supporters. is the
outcome of trouble long brewing be-
tween the pastor and the members of
= its charge.
supporters of the pastor say that
the whole trouble is that DR.. Fulton
has been telling too many plain truths
from his pulpit in the course of his
sermons advocating municipal reforms.
These people point to the fact that
the church encompasses In it's mem
befs snip some very wealthy men, who
own downtown business property that
would suffer noticeable depreciation
In rental value if some of the reforms
so daringly advocated by DR.. Fulton
were brought before the grand jury.
Bishop H. Schriber, lawyer, who holds
office as an elder and a trustee Of the
church, made the following statement
to Z he G b last evening:
You can say that if any trouble
exists in the church it is not in the
slightest blamed to the sermons on
municipal reform which have been
preached by Dr. Fulton"
Further than this brief statement he
refused to commit himself in the mat
ter, saying that he believed that for the
best interests of the Central Presby-
terian church the least possible public
ity was advisable. =

Webster Smith, an elder in the

The trouble is one which has been
gaining strength for some time, and

assumed TO be in control have made IL
clear that If the country is raked over
for wheat to bring here they mean to
buy it at figure of their own making
The rushing Of the price down today,
IL Is argued, was a more drastic action
than was for the moment, at least, re-
quired by the Gates and Armour in
terests, the result being that they ac-
ccrdingly jumped the price back to
81.
The Gates party, IT is said, had fig
ured that the movement of wheat to
market would be practically exhausted
before 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
fcur demand and the apparent uncon-
Germ of the millers.

LACK TWO JURORS
FOR MANKATO TRIAL
Henry FoOtner and r. M. An.
derson Recruited to Hear
About Gebhard's Murder
Special to The Globe


MANKATO, Mimi, April 22.-The
first week of the Koch trial closes with
ten jurors secured. 1t had been the
earnest hope Of Judge Cray that the
jury might be completed by this even
ing, but In this he was disappointed.
Only two were secured today, they be-
Ing Harry Footner of this city, who Is
at present without employment, but
who has been a packer in the Hubbard
mill. He is about 40 years of age and
Of strong build. He is an Englishman,

possibly still Is receiving a handsome
annual remittance from his family in
the old home. The other Juror, Reddie
NJ Anderson, was secured this after
noon. He, too, is temporarily out of
employment, having been q bridge
carpenter. He was born and raised in
South Bend and still lives there. He is
80 years of age and has a face depicted
all over with good nature. His father
is stone quarryman.
Judge Cray at noon issued orders
that fourth special yenire for twenty
five Jurors be gotten out and returned
by the coroner at 4 o'clock. Three
members of this were excused and four
were examined, and the remainder
were instructed to appear in court
Monday morning at 8 o'clock, to which
hour the court took a recess
Thus far 122 talesmen have been ex-
amined, 10 accepted, the state has used

the defense 10 of its 20.
Bad Day for the State
The defense used one of its peremp-
tory challenges and the state three to-
day. In this respect it was a bad day
for the state. The defense employed it's
challenge on A. r. Macdonald, an hon
est Scotchman, who said that he had
read something about the case in the
one paper that he took, but had no
opinion as to the guilt or innocence OF
the accused.
The state used one of its challenges
on G. w. Cady, a conductor on the
Chicago & North Western road, who
formerly lived at New Ulm, but who
said that he did not know DR.. Koch.
He said that he had read considerable
about the case. but considered some OF

The encampment was called

This business lasted until one

It is one of the wonders of COM
mercial history, and the material
resources combined with the
moral forces of the people. both
so amply demonstrated, give
solid security for an advance
ment still more remarkable.
The south today presents the
safest aud most profita BILE field of
investment to be found in the
United States, and one that prom
ises the brightest future. I'm
like the west, the south has
never been overdone or over
doomed in the matter of in
vestments and, as a matter of
fact, it's potentialities in this re-
gard are illimitable. For every
variety of manufacturing the
raw material is here, right at the
factory door, as is the fuel and
water to furnish the motive pow
err. The nearly 100000 resi-
dents of the south afford a large
local consumptive population,
and the haul to the greatest do
nestle markets of the country is
a short one. With the construc.
ton of the Panama canal the
south will enjoy peculiar trade
advantages in the marts of the
Orient, and now is the time tc
get in on the investment ground
floor.

LIME BRICK.
Mr.. F. J. Hansen Starts
New Enterprise.

Among the latest and greatest
human inventions and improve.
ments is the sand lime brick and
manufactured or artificial stone.
It seems that nature has pro-
vided exactly what the human
creatures need in more part1cu-
lars than we have heretofore
acknowledged. The rock beds
and the sand beds, almost as ex-
aust1ess as the brine of the ocean,
will furnish the structural ma
teria1, for ages that are to come.
And the sand lime brick is the
acme of the com bination. We
predict that the clay or mud
brick will become relic and the
red brick structures of the pres
ent day will become a mere me-
mento of the long years in which
the American builder CROPPED.
Mr.. F. J. Hansen has closed a
contract for the machinery that
will turn out daily 10000 of the
prettiest brick; as perfect and
smooth as the best pressed brick,
brick that will ring like metal
and will last forever. Of course
the plant will be located at Fltz-
gerald provided Mr.. Hansen who
is putting large amountof mon
ey in the plant is given the prop
er treatment and encouragement.
He has already ordered four
car loads of the machinery, made
arrangements for his material
and is now figuring on a site,
and it is up to the business men
of Fitzgerald to show him the
right spirit in this matter.
Mr.. Hansen is one of our larg-
est real estate owners, public
spirited and highly esteemed
and the Enterprise extends to
him the glad hand and suggest
that here is an opportunity for
the Cham Der of Commerce to do
some good work.

The South as a Fine
Field for Investment
Southern Investments
Better than For
eign Loans.

In a recent issue The Colum bia
State called attention to the
large and varied and promising
fields for the investment of capt.
tai in the southern states, argu-
ing that it would be more wise as
well patriotic for American men
of wealth to place their wealth in
these fields rather than in foreign
loans or in many of the ventures
of kindred nature that seem to
attract them.
The New York Times thinks
this is matter we'll worth dis
GUESSING and that "the press Of
the south is doing a national as
we'll as a sectional service in pre-
senting to the public the informa-
ton that can safely guide to
such investments" The Times
adds:
There is an enormous amount
of undeve1oped resources in the
south which will ultimately yield
to energy, care and intelligence
very profitable returns. The
progress that has been made in
the past forty years is but proof
Of the far greater progress than
can be and will be made. If we
try to measure the actual con-
trast between the south of 1865
and the south of today we can
understand roughly at least
what the future holds in store.
