Senator Samuel S. Benedict OF Wilson
county, who was agreed upon Tuesday
night at the anti-slate caucus as a can
didate for temporary chairman Of the
Republican convention, threw bomb
shell into the anti-slate camp this
morning by refusing to serve in that
ca paeity.
The anti-slate leaders put in most of
the night trying to persuade him to ac-
cept their support. but he refused yon
the ground that he could not afford to
compromise his friends in the Third
district. who are mostly lined UP with
the railroad slate
Il have protested from the begin
ming against the use of my name for
chairman" said Benedict at o'clock
this morning. Il will not embarrass
myself, my district or my friends. No
one with manhood will ask me to stand
for the place"
Your name will not go before the
convention then at alI?" was asked of
him.

Market Notes.

Minneapolis: Capacity of 1900 barrels
shut down yesterday for an indefinite per
iod because of the dullness of trade and
high wheat prices.
Chicago: There was letter here yes
terday from Kansas which estimates a. re-
~ million acres and a reduction OF about
million bushels for the state crop. This
is from personal investigation covering
a very large territory.
New York: The drastic liquidation yes
terday has started again this morning and
big blocks Of stocks have been thrown
over regardless of value. It is the gen
eraI belief that there is something i'm
pending over the market and we would
not be surprised to hear some very bad
failures unless some support is accorded
very soon The banks are acting very con-
servatively and 1t is another rich mans
panic. Do like TO advise sales after the
big break which we have had. Prices may
go still lower, but in the natural course
of events this selling must cease and there
will be a good reaction, even If II is only
temporary Would buy only the good
stocks and be prepared to take the certif-
icateS outright IN case they continue to
go against you Receipts of hogs continue
light and the market very strong. We can
see very little chance of a break and be-
neve the market is going higher.
Chicago: Cables strong on both wheat
and corn on unfevorabie weather condi-
tons The season Is very late and the
weather is harsh and uncongenia1. There
is considerable short interest in May
wheat. and at this time it ia hard to tell
whether the longs win sell or the shorts
tinue favorable on this side for growing
crops but the short interest is heavy and
widely scattered in September and July

Wall St., New York. May 2.-sTOCKS-
No attention was paid to the small rise
in Americans in the London market and
stocks were poured upon the opening
stock market here today from all direc-
lions, causing violent breaks In prices
The declines throughout the list ran from
a fraction to point
The trading was accompanied with
great excitement on the exchange.
There were a few further disorderly
breaks after the opening but for the most
part the liquidation seemed to have spent
itself in a spasm and there were violent
recoveries.
The demand flattened out on the rally
before the end of the hour.
The bears desisted from buying as the
advance in prices reduced their profits and
quotations crumbled again In some of the
stocks vigorous support appeared about
the previous low level, but in others the
pressure broke through the support. The
new selling came in a steady stream and
was less spasmodfc than at first.
Prices were Tipping away rapidly at
noon.
During the noon hour prices rallied from

length and carried St. Paul and Atchison
a point over last night and Pennsylvania,

tons.

'I have talked to no one at all just
now" he replied. Mr.. Benedict
seemed to be considerably agitated
over the subject.
Just before the convention assem-
bled at 10 o'clock Senator Dolley
stated with reference to the tempo
rary craftsmanship fight, that since
Benedict had Withdrawn the ants
would leave the matter open to the
convention, and give an opportunity
for someone to be nominated against
Smith from the floor.

said Dolley. I'VE have agreed upon no
one to take the place OF Benedict
since he has refused"
Joe Burrow stated that Smith would
be chosen. There viii be no oppo-
sition to him at ALL replied the secre-
tary of state. "Benedict's name will
not go before the convention, and we
will name no one in his place.

When this slate was made up, I be-

an even break in our district"
Harold Chase, editor OF the Topeka
Capital, was called for by Mr.. Stubs,
and the rest of the delegates took up
the cry. Mr.. Chase responded with a
short speech. Then Ansel Clark, the
candidate of the antf-slate crowd for
heptenant governor, was summoned to
the platform, and made a strong
speech. He declared his position con-
corning railroad rate regulation, and
said that he would stand by the people

talking about It, but no one in partic-

THE object of this caucus, as I'M

the purpose of discussing the duty of
the delegates to he state convention.
Who called the meeting, do not know.
I do know. however. that there Is a
grea1 need Of such a meeting I know
that the Republican party needs level
heads and true hearts.
There is something approaching
crisis facing the Republican party to-
night and if you men do not meet the
situation now. there is no telling what
will happen to the party and the ticket

for the party in November.

F. G. Dreaming, city attorney of To-
peka, moved that a committee of three,
with Stubs for chairman, be appointed
to formulate plan. and report to the
caucus. This motion prevailed.
Chairman Davidson appointed Stubs,
J. R. Burrow and H G. Larimer. Mr..
Rurrow, however, had left the hall, and
could not be located. Senator A. T.
Stewart was appointed to succeed him.
This committee did not leave the
hall to discuss the matter. They put
their heads together, and in about 30
seconds, Mr.. Stubs was again on the
platform. After long and arduous
labor" said he. I'VE have decided to
report that we recommend Sam s.
