CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Prices Weak-Corn and oats
Lower

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 1.-Under general
selling pressure the wheat market was
weak throughout the entire session.
At the opening, sentiment was af-
fected by considerable decline at
Liverpool, resulting from increased
shipments from Australia. Initial
quotations on July were AQ$c lower
at SS@SShc. Pit traders sold July
and the offerings were taken by COM
mission houses. After a dip to S7A@
S7Mc, July rallied to SSAc on covering
by shorts. The firmness, however,
was only momentary. The weather
throughout the country was again
extremely favorable for the rapid ad-
yancement of the new crop. Reports
of bright prospects for early and
abundant harvest formed the under
lying basis of decidedly weak sit
uation that developed as the trading
progress. Prices here were also af-
fected by weakness in the northwes-
tern markets. After July had dropped
to S7Ac, some recovery took place on
a fair demand from shorts. The close
was weak with July at S7ssc. May
sold between $1.12A and $1.13% and
closed at $1.133s.
The weakness of wheat had bear
ish effect on the corn market, but
large clearness nearly offset this.
May closed at 47c.
Smaller receipts gave some flrmness
to oats. May closed at 29Bc.
A firm undertone was manifested in
provisions, but trading was feature
less. At the close May pork was up
a shade, lard was unchanged and ribs
were shade higher.

Mcbride, secretary OF the Eastern Coal
Operators Assocfa ton, denies emphatically
that the meeting of operators has been
called for any such purpose. Instead,
he said, I'VE intend to work with the men,
adjust troubles and all that sort of thing.
We can present straight front in the or
ganizauon and be able TO deal as unit
Instead of a disjointed class of men.
AT the meeting of secretaries of. the diff

were formulated for the coming convention,
it was informally requested that no refer
ence be made to the convention of miners
to be held in January. We do not intend

APPEAL TO GOVERNOR
Gases of Washington Policemen Who
Were Fined in Baltimore.

The announcement mas been made that
the result of the proceedings before the
police trial board yesterday afternoon
when the cases of the Washington police
men, arrested and fined in Baltimore, were
considered, will be an appeal to the gov
ernor of Maryland for a new trial of the
common law cases against the officers At
torney Lambert, for the defense, stated that
a copy of the entire testimony given yes
terday before the trial board will be pre-
sented before the chief executive of Marv-
land and upon it will be based an appeal
from the decision of Judge Grannon in Bal
umore for a new trial. Immediately after
the trial in Baltimore the proper legal steps
were taken for an appeal and the attorney
Tor the defendants Is now prepared to go
before the governor with something definite
TO back up his claims.
There Is no appeal on questions of evil
dence and fact from the decision of the ius-
uce In Baltimore, except to the states chief
executive, and the defendants feel that they
should leave no stones unturned to vindi-
cate themselves In the criminal actions
brought against them.
The evidence presented at the trial board
after the recess yesterday afternoon was
similar to that given in the morning as
stated In The Star yesterday. Policemen
Branzel, Farquhar and kleindentZ and ex-
PohceInan w. e. Wilson all recounted the
incidents of the Baltimore trip and corroh-
GRATED each other. that no assault had been
committed
Were you given any opportunity to com
municate with counsel or with friends?"
was asked each witness in turn
we were not, was the common reply
Were you given a chance to plead to
the charge of assault2'
THE cases of disorderly conduct were
dismissed and we were charged by the
judge with assault. and without pleading to
1t or being given a chance to demand Jury
trial we were fined" was the reply ex-
cept in the case of Branzell, who was al
lowed TO plead.
When the charges of failing to report for
duty at am. on the morning after the
days leave, against Branzell and Birch
came up, Lieut.. Shilling, then commanding
the seventh precinct, to which all three be-
longed, testified. He said that the men
did not report at S o'clock, but came on
duty when their section reported. He said
he had not promulgated a rule that officers
coming back from q days leave must re-
port at o'clock and that officers frequently
arranged to get forty hours away when
granted a days leave. In the case of
Policeman Birch 1t was stated by the trial
board that the charges were not sustained
as he was not convicted in Baltimore.
