s. WHEAT 4 ! CORNER
MAY BE A "PHONY"
TRADERS LOOK
AsKANCE AT GATES DEAL.
They Disregard the Cry Of Chicago and
Force the Price Down-The Market
in a Quandary-It's Practically Ger
tain, However, that Armour Isn't
Short.

The Gates-Wall street double COM
blnation wheat corner got in it's work
again this morning, May wheat going
down into new ground around $1.l5A.
AS a back action proposition, this is the
best thing in wheat For a long time.
When the morning press first told
the world that Gates had all the stuff
and 81 wheat would be seen, Minneap-
oils May was just under $1.1S. With
each new story of the tightening Of the
gates grip, it has gone lower. Today
thing that Gates will do the turn in
the second week in May. .>
This is the first time on record that
a man running a corner in wheat has
been actuated mainly by consideration
Tor the welfare of the trade. Gates,
the ig-hearted, has told the boys in
advance just what he proposed to do
IN order that they might all make
money. j. -.
:. Wheat may be cornered all right and
1t may go to SO, but the local traders
are suspicious lot, and this morning
they were all holding off.
Everybody is afraid to buy wheat
and no one dares to sell it short.
Armour Not Short.
What makes the proposition Of a So
corner look "phony" is the crediting
Of Armour with short interest of
Il, 0OO,O 900 bu May. A. I. Valentine is
the man who runs the wheat end of the
great Armour house. To the boys who
met him here, when he led the trades
in the Minneapolis lit some time ago,
he did not look like man who would
do anything foolish. There are 13,0O0,-
900 bushels here and 100000 at Du-
luth, 100000 at St. Louis, Kansas
(fitv and roipte orI
100000 at Buffalo, New York, Balti-
more and eastern points. In all there
is today only 37,458,0O0 bushels wheat
in the visible supply and at least go
per cent of the wheat is owned out
right by millers. To suppose that Ar,
mour, in the face Of such conditions,
would sell himself into the hole to the
extent Of 100000 bushels, is to deny
the house credit for the astuteness to
which it owes it's rise.
Some one may be short, but it is not

FAREWELL NOTE

APOLIs RECEIVES ONE.
It Was Mr.. Crandan Who First Direct.

versity Has Told His Intimate
Friends He Expects to Die.

Rev. L.. A. Crandall, pastor of Trinity,
Baptist church, is one Of the close
friends to whom President William r.
Harper of Chicago university, has writ,
ten letters of farewell, prior to deli.
cate surgical operation which he ex!
poets will result in his death.
Mr.. Crandall was an intimate friend
Of DR.. Harper's when young man, and
it was he who called the attention of
Gator. DR.. Harper's letter to Mr.. Cram
dali is pathetic. He writes that he ex'
poets the operation to result fatally. II
is the last goodbye to a friend, who he
says has been close to him as a bro,
ther for many years.
Mr.. Crandall had much to in max!

When Mr.. Rockefeller founded the Uni
versity of Chicago Mr.. Crandall was

nate attended. The latter asked his
pastor VIII owould be the best man for
the place and Mr.. Crandall was quick
to mention his friend, DR.. Harper, theI

other educators and members Of the
clergy for his alleged unorthodox views
but he never allows himself to be mis-

RUSTED WHEAT
STANDS TEST
NEW EXPERIMENTS PROVE TT
WILL GERMINATE.
Practically All the Kernels Planted on
the Dalrymple Farm Have sprouted
Nicely-But It Remains to Be Seen
Whether It Will Make as Vigorous
Plants.

G. c., Dalrymple, who is in the city
today, has just finished experimenting
with rusted wheat as seed, at a number
OF stations on the Dalrymple farms in
North Dakota. The results bear out the
tests Of the Jewell people at Lake CITY
and other experimenters and prove that
seed wheat from rusted fields may be
used with satisfactory results as to
termination.
With the first of the good seed wheat
trains on the road today from Mime
apolis, and three other trains soon to
follow, the question Of the possibility
Of using the rusted wheat for seed be-
comes important.
The Dalrymple tests were more ex-
tensive than any made heretofore. At
Gardner, N. D., sixty kernels were sown.
and this morning wire to Mr.. Dali
fymple reported four more coming above
ground. Thus only one of the sixty
failed to terminate.
! At Casselton, out Of fifty kernels
eown, forty eight appeared, and at Kelso
forty-nlne came up out of fifty.
The Gardner, Casselton and Kelso
tests represent various stages Of the
rust damage as it appeared on the diff
tensive Dalrymple holdings.
! In every case the rusted wheat, be-
fore being used for seed, was put thru
/ a tanning mill.
How this rusted wheat will stand up
against other wheat thru the weather
extremes and general crop hardship Of
an ordinary growing season, still re-
mains to be seen, but that it will come
up and start off as well as any cannot
be doubted. 49,.
! Many farmers incline to tho view
that wheat from rusted wheat that went
thru the punishment Of last years bad
season, should prove hardy and able to
withstand the next seasons hardships
in good shape.

SHARP CRITICISM FOR .
SENSATIONAL EVANGELIST

Severe criticism Of sensational evan
CYCLISTS is made by Rev. G. H. Rust, who
has had charge Of the travelling "gos-
pei carr of the Baptist church.
In paper before the Baptist Minis
ters' association today he especially
castigated preachers who use sensa-
tional and uncouth titles for their dis
jects as Trucking the Tiger for Saliva
tion,' els God Like Hen!' and
"Damn ibid She Swear9'
Mr.. Rust s paper dwelt on the need
Of evangelistic work, the necessary re-
quirements entering into successful
evangelistic work and the necessity of
assisting the pastor rather than entirely
nsurpng his 1d Raged The and an M Rns
dwelt on the successful part which his
wife's musical talent has in his own
evangelistic work.

Mr.. STAPLES IS HOPEFUL
THINKS SENATE WILL GET DOWN
TO BUSINESS RATHER THAN
BEAR oDIUM OF EXTRA SEES
SION.

Legislation granting the interstate
commerce commission power to fix rail-
road rates, is practically assured at
this session of congress. e.
So believes G. E. Staples, member Of
the state railroad commission who re-
turned Sunday from second appear
ance before the interstate commerce
committee of the senate at Washing
ton, which has under consideration the
Esch-Townsend bill.
HBoth branches Of congress- he said
today, "now recognize it is useless for
the railroads longer to resist granting
to the interstate commerce commission
the rate-making power. / don't believe
there's any longer any question about
this. Just what form Of bill granting
this power will be passed is but a ques,
ton Of detail.
.fThe Esch-Townsend bill, altho rec.
is the form Of legislation most likely
to be enacted. Altho this legislation
may not be just what is wanted, it will
be recognized as step in the desired
direction and be adopted with the
knowledge and understanding that it
may be amended at later sessions to a
form meeting more with approval Of all
II am in a position to state that a
majority OF the senate COmm1GCeo now
considering the Esch-Townsend bill, will
recommend the bill out for passage
This being fact, the question naturally
comes up, why don't they recommend
it out at once7
"Those favorable to the bill do not
want it to get on to the floor of the
senate unless they have assurance the
bill will not be blocked. With the INC
limit debate rule in the senate, two OF
three active men could oppose tho bill
and kill it.
ga telling argument is being passed
around among the senators that if they
do not have the Esch- Townsend bill re
ported out, the country will hold the
senate responsible for nextra session
such as the president has said he would
call if consideration were not given thu
matter Of railroad rate legislation.
"senator Clapp, of the interstate
commerce committee, says he is ready
now to support the Esch- Townsend bill
on the floor and to vote for it's passage
Nelson will vote for it. Senator Mel
son, however, is not on the committee

PIPES TOO SMALL?
Six O'clock Club Members to Discuss
Oft-Repeated Question.

Has Minneapolis outgrown the pres
emit system of gas pipe liness This ques-
ton will be discussed towether with
suggestions for the best methods q
remedying the trouble, if it exists, at
tonight Is meeting Of the Six O'Clock
club, of which Judge D. F. Simpson is
president, and many prominent profess
sional and business men are members.
It is claimed by some that the small
service pipes make it impossible to get
adequate pressure in the outlying por-
tions Of the city. There is a general
complaint fro mthe residents that the
flow of gas is insuhficin.
If this condition exists and is caused,
as claimed, by the small size of the
pipes, the remedy will be expensive and
hard to achieve. All phases Of the
question will be taken up.
Alderman Wendell Hertig, chairman
Of the gas committee, has been invited
to attend.
