CLIMAX ON WHEAT

ed for-MiIlons of May Delivered.

Chicago, April 23.-One of the most
celebrated deals ever known on the
Chicago board of trade came to a eli.
max Saturday. A daring effort by
j. W. Gates and associates to control
all of the wheat available in America
for delivery during the month of May
was apparently ended with a whole
sale sacrifice of prospective profits to
escape possible huge losses on ex-
listing investments.
incidentally there was one of the
widest sessions ever witnessed in the
Chicago wheat pit. At one time prices
showed a loss of 1112c a bushel for
the day, the price of the option being
driven down in a sensational series
of rushes to 9S1ac a bushel. The clos
ing was 81, as against $1.23 less than
three weeks ago.

present at the stormy sessions that
marked the most exciting periods in
the famous Letter and Harper deals
Clothing was torn, hats smashed and
bodies bruised in the frantic efforts
to sell the grain. The gallery was full

Another view of the situation. ac.

cleared the road for a still more gi-

country by grain traders TO secure
wheat to sell to the bull traders. BY
dropping the price II cents a bushel
the spectators, assumed to be in con

cordingly jumped the price back TO 81

The Gates party, it is said, had fig
ured that the movement to market
would be practically exhausted before
the month of May arrived. The fac
tor that is alleged to have caused them
to give up the deal was the steadiness
with which heavy shipments from the
interior continued, and the disappOint-

But while the nearby option was
plunging downward there was a steady
movement going on in July. Brokers,
presumably working for Armour and
his associates, whether including Gates
or not, were taking on liberal lots of
the latter options. In one hour alone
it was estimated that these brokers
had bought more than 100000 bush

ANGELS TO BE WHISKERLESS
Peace Restored Between Sculptor
BOrgIum and the Clergy of
Belmont Chapel.

The storm of ecclesiastical criticism
which has ragged for nearly a week about
the devoted head of j. Gutzen Mothe-
Borglum, the sculptor of angels in the
Belmont Memorial Chapel at the Cathedral
of st. John the Divine, New York City,
is subsiding. Only the echoes Of the con-
fiict between the artists loyalty to his
artistic ideals and the dominies' adherence
to their Interpretation Of Biblical text de-
scriptions of angels are TO be heard by the
public. Negotiations are being carried on
In secret
1t was authoratively stated yesterday,
however, that only two of Mr.. Borglum's
angels have been referred back TO him
for masculinizing revision. They are the
heroic figures of the Angel of the Annun-
citation and the Angel of Resurrection The
artist sought, say those of his critics who
are not adherents to the clerical ideals
regarding distinctly male angels, to olimi-
nate the characteristic of sex altogether
from his models, In this effect he made
the faces Of great sweetness and innocence
Of expression-but these faces, with the
I long robes flowing down to the feet, made
the angels seem feminine to the clergy
men who saw them.
From some source or other came a norrid
rumoT that Mr.. Borgum intended to put
whiskers on the faces Of the angels 50 that
there could be no question hereafter as "a
their sex. The report was taken seriously
In some quarters. Mr.. Borglum vas not
! inclined TO discuss angels yesterday; he
had a lot of beautiful bronzes and other
things to show his visitors; but angels
