SCALPERS DOING
ALL THE BUSINESS
Receipts for the Week Show a
Liberal Increase-Cash
Demand Fair

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Feb.
25.-The news during the week has been
bearish from a statistical position. The
week started with heavy worlds ship
ments, followed with only small de-
crease in Bradstreet's. large Argentine
shipment of wheat later in the week and
liberal receipts here during the past week.
Despite. all this prices at the close to-
night show only a moderate decline. The
principal cause for the market holding so
steady is the lack of speculation. The
scalping professionals are doing practical
ly all the business, and as they seem to be
satisfied with small profits, prices do not
6uctuate much.
The cash demand has been good during
the week for No. l and No. 2 northern
wheat, but very slow on the lower grades.
While the former have advanced material
ly from the week before the lower grades
show quite material decline. The bulk
of No. l northern has sold at May price
during the week, with elevators the best
buyers. The same class of buying took
the bulk of No 2 northern at around 2h
G4c under May. Millers were the best
buyers of the low grades, but would not
take the samples except at declining
prices, and these low grades are now sell
ing at a greater discount from May price
than for several weeks back. The receipts
have been liberal all the week, with one
fact that the tax is placed on wheat left
in North Dakota after March /, and for
this reason both elevators and farmers
have been shipping wheat freely from
Northern has been bringing in this wheat
very freely, about rs per cent of the re-
ceipts coming in on, this road.
-, Traders do not look for much more
than scalping market of narrow range
until these receipts show a permanent
falling off, and this is not likely to occur
much before the middle of next month
When it does occur receipts will prob
ably, show very rapid falling. off. Our
stocks showed a decrease of 100000 bu
for the week. with an increase in contract
stocks Of 10000 bu. bringing contract
stocks up to over 1900, 900 bu
All records We're broken by Argentina
last week with shipments of 4,360,00 bu

weeks record was for the week ending

u. p. DIVIDEND RATE
TO BE INCREASED

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-very positive
statements are made in Wall street that
the dividends on Union Pacific will be in
creased at the next dividend meeting of
the directors. 1t is said that practically
all of the directors have agreed to vote
for an increase in the dividend rate, but
that there is a difference of opinion re-
garding whether it should be increased to
b or to per cent. 1t is understood that
some of the most influential directors OF
the company are in favor of making the
rate per cent
1t is argued that the true earning power
Of the Union Pacific, il the equities OF the
company in Southern Pacific and Northern
Securities are considered is close to Is
per cent on the amount of the common
that practically all of the convertible
bonds will be converted into common
stock If the dividend rate is increased.
Even after the conversion of the con-
vertible bonds, however. it is figured that
the company is earning around II per
cent on the common stock or twice the
amount ii is proposed to pay in dividends.
The practical announcement that the
dividend rate is to be increased is inter-
preted In financial circles as meaning. that
the Southern Pacific will be shortly placed
upon a dividend basis 1t has been the
general understanding that the commence
ment of dividends on the common stock
refunding bond issue. This issue has been
successfully fioated and the last obstacle
has thus been removed. II is thought
that the dividends on Southern Pacific
will be started at per cent.
The following statement was made yes
terday by a banker closely. associated
with the management of the Southern Pa
cific regarding the report to the effect
that there is no intention Of retiring the
preferred stock of the Southern Pacific:
1.-THE Southern Pacific management has
no intention of modifying the terms upon
which the preferred stock was sold to the
shareholders of the company. The new
issue offered to the holders of the COM
mon stock at par was intended as hid
den dividend, and the rights fiuctuated be-
tween 2k an per cent. The company
does not intend to relinquish the right to
call the stock In at lis. Undoubtedly. in
time, stock paying less than per cent
will be substituted for the outstanding

STUDENTS VERSION GIVEN.
Midshipmen Tell Of Fatal Fist
Fight

A statement coming from within the
naval academy at Annapolis, Md, be-
lieved to represent the midshipmen's YER
sion of the fight between Midshipmer
Meriwether and Branch and the death OF
the latter, is as follows:
''The fight between Midshipmen Branch
and Meriwethcr was because of personal
dislike and trouble between the two mid,
shipmen, which eliminated in the latter
personally insulting the former. Midshlp'
man Branch did not report Midshipmar
Meriwether for any violation of regula-
tions, and he did not incur this fight be-
cause of discharging his duty. Midshlp-
man Branch challenged Meriwether as
the result of insulting remarks addressed
to him by the latter, and it was decided
that their differences be decided in the
usual manly fashion.
I'm weight there was not difference
of over six pounds between the two. Both
midshipmen were good physical specl-
mems of manhood, Branch having at one
time held the academy lightweight wrest-
ling championship. Meriwether was not
considered to be exceptionally well devel-
oped physically, as has been enormously
stated. This way of settling their person
al differences may have been mistaken
one, but as far as can he said about an af-
fair of this description it was free from
brutality and any unfairness, and the
tragic ending is a most lamentable acct
dent.
cat the conclusion OF the fight Midship-
man Branch was able to walk to his room
a time, afterward taking a shower bath
and retiring No fear of the result being
tragic was felt The next morning he
was found to be unconscious.
The code at the naval academy abso-
lutely prohibits fighting over a report.
Midshipmen on duty frequently have to
exercise their authority for the mainte-
nance of the state of discipline, and it
would be just as serious all offense
against their code for the midshipmen so
reported to challenge one who made the
report. lis it would be for University of
Virginia student to offend against their
code of honor by cheating at an examina-
ton
A Washington, d. c., special says: The
president has called upon Secretary Bona
parte for report on certain features OF
the case of Midshipman Branch, who
died at the naval academy at Annapolis
after glove fight with another midship-
man.
Secretary Bonaparte said Friday the
practice of fighting at the academy was
Objectionable and would be discouraged.

Two Lives Lost in Crash-Laborers
Buried Beneath Tons of Debris
Accident Occurred on New
Building Being Erected at Omaha

Albert Lumpkin and James McNama-
ra, laborers, working on the freprootng
at the new Hayden Bros. building on
Douglas Street, between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth, Omaha, were buried in
nearly 100 tons Of concrete and brick
Monday morning, when tie rod i'll one
OF the sections of the freproohng broke
on the fourth floor, where the men were
working, and were killed instantly. The
section that gave way carried the next
one below with it and each succeeding
section gave way under the increasing
weight until the sub-basement was
reached.
1t took large force of men an hour
and half to dig out the bodies. The
men were found close to each other
At the time of the accident Lumpkin,
Mcnamara and a man named ]. Corbett
were working on a section in the center
Of the building on the fourth floor Cor
bett escaped by clinging to rod when
the section gave way. He was working
near the edge of the section and had
chance to save himself. AS he left the
building without reporting to the time
keeper the first report was he had been
killed
So far as can be determined the break
ing of a tie rod weakened the section and
caused it to drop. The whole thing hap
pened quickly, the two men being in the
sub-basement beneath the debris before
anyone could realize what had happened.
The mass Of brick and concrete pierced
each floor with a heavy thud
Foreman Gardner, of the freproofing
work estimated that about 100 tons OF
the proofng fell, the distance from the
top of the fourth floor to the floor of
the sub-basement being seventy-five feet.
The system Of fireprOofng being in
stalled at the new store is known as the
Rapp system, this being the first of the
system to be placed in Omaha. The
sections which gave way were 16x21 feet.
Each section consisted of an arch of
hardened brick resting on steel Orders
and topped with a heavy concrete. y
tie rod is drawn taut under each section.
