CROP DAMAGE MOI; 50 GREAT
SECRETARY WILSON SAYS RE-
PORTS ARE GREATLY ExAo.
oERATED. 5,

Chicago, May 8. - The reports OF
damage to the crops, which have been
SO numerous Of late, owing to the un-
seasonable weather and the ravages
of bugs have geen greatly exagger-
ated, according to, James Wilson, sec
rotary Of agriculture, who was In Chi.
cago last night.
When asked for his opinion On the
coming crop of grain Mr.. Wilson said:
Spring seeding is a little back
ward on account Of the cold, but there
is plenty of time between now and the
last Of September to grow crop OF
all kinds of grain. In the States OF
Minnesota and the Dakotas, where we
get much of our spring wheat, seeding
has been delayed about two weeks.
but with few days of warm sunshine
planting will be in full progress.
While the weather has been unseason-
ably cold In some districts, still it has
not been severe enough to retard
blowing, and my advices are that the
ground in those states has been nearly
all made ready to receive the seed.
We will have warm weather in a few
days now. and l don't see what is to-
prevent normal crop of spring wheat
in these states.
Taken as a whole, see no cause
for complaint, and l think 1t will be
found when threshing time comes
around that all this cry of crop dam
age has been made for purpose"

find DEAD BODY
OF MARVIN BOY
LOST cHILD'S REMAINS FOUND
IN SWAMP NEAR FATHERS
FARM.
BEARS NO MARK OF foul PLAY
FATHER PERSISTS IN THEORY
THAT HIS SON WAS MUIR.
OERED,

Dover, Del, May z. 49, Lying in q
marshy piece of land, the body of little
Horace Marvin, son of DR.. H. N. Mar
vim, whose mysterious disappearance
from the Bay Meadow farm, near Do
yer, had baffled solution since March
4. was found about half a mile from
the Marvin farm Saturday by Ollie
Pleasanton, a farmer.
Pleasanton, who lives on a farm ad.
joining the Marvin place, came upon
the child's body while out cunning
The child lay face downward in a
patch of meadow grass.
There was not mark upon the lit
tie ones body indicating foul play.
An Odd Circumstance.
Pleasanton says he saw the body
from distance of twenty feet. Fri
day several gunners passed over this
land, but none saw the body, if it was
there then.
Detectives who have been working
on the case are inclined to the belief
that the boy wandered into the
marshes from the farm on the day OF
his disappearance, and being overcome
by the cold fell exhausted where the
body was found.
Covered Same Ground.
DR.. Marvin says he had searched
over the same marsh nearly every day
since the disappearance, and with de-
tectives burned the grass off the place
four weeks ago, but saw no sign of the
body.
The theory that the child recently
had been placed where he was found
is supported by the fact that DR.. Mar.
vim and the detectives stood on the
spot when they burned the tall sage
grass from it.
DR.. Marvin went on a run to the
place described by Pleasanton and
gently picked up the little form, push.
ing the cap from the face to make
sure that it was his boy.
Convinced of Foul Play.
Being convinced that it was his son
the doctor wrapped the remains in a
sheet and carried him to the house.
DR.. Marvin is convinced that his son
met with foul play. He said:
Though l am unable to examine
Horace closely until the coroner az
rives, am certain he was murdered,
his body brought back and left lying
In the marsh to give the impression
that he wandered out there and died.
The clothing showed no signs of hav.
ing been burned as undoubtedly
would have been the case had the
body laid there when the fire swept
over the marsh"
The coroner will begin his investi.
cation to-day.

The action of the grand jury Is the

recent mayoralty campaign in the in.

Dunno.
In it's report the grand jury said:
While the evidence presented had
caused us to hold the former chief of

full transactions chiefly responsible for
the transgressions, we consider the in.
spectors, captains and lieutenants
guilty of reprehensible conduct and

WINTER WHEAT IS DAMAGED
COLD WEATHER STARTS ACTIVE.
~ ON THE CHICAGO BOARD
OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 2. - The last week on
the Chicago board Of trade has seen
the revival Of the activity which pre-.
vailed there several years ago. and It
Is predicted by the more optimistic
traders that business. will continue at
higher level for some time.
The cold weather conditions which
have prevailed so continuously
throughout West and Southwest have
been the chief cause of the increased
volume of trade. Never in the history
of the weather bureau has such ex.
tended and such severe weather ex.
listed at this time of the year.
May Be 1oo,ooo,ooo Bushels Short.
The result has been a growing con-
viction on the part of many traders
and commission men that the crop of
winter wheat has been seriously dam
aged, and one excellent authority has
made the prediction that the crop will
be about 100,0o0,Ooo bushels below
that of last year.
Conflicting reports have been receiv.
ed from all sections regarding the
damage inflicted by the "green bug
from Oklahoma, and especially have
the reports been of a contradictory
character. BY some it has been as
serted that the crop has been greatly
impaired, and by others that the in
jury has been slight.
The result has been, however, a re-
newal of something like old times on
the board of trade.

PROSECUTIONS SECRECY IS De.
NouNcEp sY ATTORNEY
BARROW,

Boise, Idaho, May 8. = Judge Ere,
mont Wood will on Wednesday next
decide If on the eve of his trial for the
murder of Former Governor Frank
Steunenberg William Haywood is en-.
titled to receive at the hands of the
state a bill of particulars specifying
the overt acts charged against him.
The motion of the defense for this dis
closure of the case of the state was
argued at length yesterday. and at the
conclusion of the discussion the court
announced that it would make deci-
sion at the time stated.
Shows Deep Feeling.
The prisoner was brought into
court for the argument, and of HIS
counsel both Frank Richardson Of
Denver and Clarence barrow of Chi,
cago pleaded in his behalf. Senator
Borah alone spoke, in behalf of the
state. The discussion, always earnest,
was characterized at times by deep
feeling and dramatic intensity.
Mr.. Richardson, who opened the ar
gument, contended that the indict.
ment was lacking in particularly;
that it left the defendants in the dark
as to the nature of the case to be pre-
scented against them, and the defend
ants were entitled to more specific
showing of the case.
Mr.. Borah is reply declared that the
defense was seeking disclosure Of
the proof in the hands of the state
rather than more perfect pleadings.
Attack Prosecution.
Mr.. barrow. who closed the argu.
ment, began by saying that it was the
purpose of the defense to secure a
disclosure of the evidence in the
hands of the prosecution and asked
why the defense was not entitled to
such a showing. He made spirited
attack upon the attitude of the prose-
cution toward its witnesses and evil
dence, describing it as mysterious, I'm.
fair and unjust. He asserted that the
only question involved was one of
fairness and justice to the accused.
