Or Was 1t But a Trick of
These Vampires?
HERE ARE TWNSTORIES
One That the Corner BY Gates and
Company Has Fallen Through,
Another That 1t is But Prepare
tory to a Yet More Gigantic
Scheme.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, April 22.-One of the most
celebrated deals ever known on the
Chicago Board of Trade came to
climax today A daring effort by
John w. Gates and associates to get.
control of the wheat available in
America for delivery during the month
OF May was apparently ended today
with a wholesale sacrifice of prospect
i've profits to escape possible huge
losses ON existing Investments. Incl
dentally the result was one of the
widest sessions ever witnessed in the
Chicago wheat pit. At one time prices
showed a loss of IL IL cents bushel
for the day the price of the option
being driven down in a sensational
series of rushes to SO IL cents per
bushel. The closing quotation was
100, as against 123 less than six
weeks ago.
General opinion tonight is to the eff
feet that Gates and his friends emerg-
ed from the battle with but little, If
any actual financial loss. Gossip in
sists that they effected an alliance
with armour and other leading trad
ers whereby the Gates party while
obliged summarily to liquidate May
wheat on an enormous scale todaN
were nevertheless fully protected
through prior and concurrent opera,
tons of the allies in both MAY and
later options. Another view of the
situation according to some observers
is that the new grouping of astute
spectators, including the redoubtable
Gates himself, has merely cleared the
decks for a still more gigantic corner
in wheat for delivery during July. The
idea is that the high price heretofore
prevailing for Nav wheat has induced
a securing of the country by grain
traders to secure wheat to sell to the
bull leaders.
The sound of the big bell at
opening was the signal for a r1-g
rior of voices, a din possih' Eef
before equalled, according au a9

body seemed to want May wheat abovS
a dollar
When $500 was reached the wild
roar that marked the opening was
doubled in volume. But while the
nearby option was plunging downward
there was a steady buying movement
going on in July. Brokers presum-
ably working for Armour and his as
sociates whether including Gates or
not, were taking on liberal lots of the
later option. In one hour alone it
was estimated that these brokers had
bought more than 100000 bushels.
This buying of July prompted
frightened shorts to cover. they be-
lieving the Gates forces and the Ar
mour crowd had combined to bull
the month at the EXPENSE of the hard
hammered May. Tonight it was esti-
mated that five million bushels of the
May delivery were unloaded here and

and the stocks on the lower floors
were badly damaged, by smoke and
water causing an aggregate loss Vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to
$4,000 all pretty well covered by
insurance. The fire started from an
unknown source between the ceiling
and roof of one of the two of the
stores occupied by Bear & Sons, and
although the fire department was
promptly on the scene, it was a diff
cult fire to combat and tho men at
best could do no more than confine
the flames to the third floors of the
closely abutting buildings.
The losses are roughly estimated
as follows:
Samuel Bear, ST. & sons damage
to stock of general merchandise. $15.-

Greensboro, N. c., April 22.-The

ence of State papers this
morning that Judge Boyd was very
greatly criticized about Salisbury for
having sent three prominent Rowan
distillers to jail, and especially severe
on him because the offenses for
which the men were so sternly punish

thirteen months, he hoping to pay out,
and that every effort will be made
to have Mr.. Roseman pardOned by

surprise. If because Mr.. ROSeman is
a popular young man, son of distiller
of means, this is expected to give him
in the eyes of the law perfect immun-
ity for violating the law, then it would
mean that only poor men should pe

Concerning the joint statehood meeting in Tucson Saturday night the Tucson Citizen has this to say editor, ially:
 The great territorial convention of the allies of New Mexico on Saturday evening was nothing but a delightful farce. It was advertised that there would be big delegations from every county of Arizona, and that the turn out would be such as to cause the ae- vccates of Arizona's autonomy to tremble. As a matter of fact one man came from Santa Cruz county. one man from Maricopa county. and there were four visitors from New Mexico. Local people, of course, turned out to hear the music and the oratory Fully half the audience was composed of the fair daughters of the city. and of the Tucson men present more than one half were opposed to jointure. In fact, il might be said that nearly all the advocates of jointure present had seats on the platform.
 The speeches were without force or logic. MT. Rodey of New Mexico, who was repudiated by his people last year, is one of those persons who can talk loudly for hours without say ing anything. He depends upon his imagination for his facts and upon his memory for his jests. MT. Ainsworth mistOok the temper of Tucson, when he assumed that the abuse of Phoenix would be sweet music to a Tucson audience. There is no shriveled local ism in Tucson. Prospering herself, Tucson glories in the prosperity of the other towns and cities of Arizona, and resents the ignorant assumption that she feels any jealousy of her sister cities.
 The convention did not pass any resolutions. The managers of the af- fair were too wise to propose any dec laration under the circumstances. So ciaIly. the meeting was a partial sue. cess; politically the convention was grim frost"
