gin prosecutions under the pure food
law at an early date. and DR.. Wiley

CHILE WOULD
PUT ON AIRS
This South American Republic
Thinks She Should Have
an Ambassador
Other Latin-AmerIcan Republics Were
jealous and Succeeded In Heading
or Such Movement by Their
Hated Rival.

WashIngton.-Ch failure to send
a minister to Washington to replace
Walker Martinez, who did not return
home after the Pan-American confer
ence at Rio Janiero last summer, has
caused much comment The neglect
of the Chilean congress to appropriate
sufficient money to maintain the lega-
ton has been given as reason for
leaving the American mission in
charge OF Alberto Yoacham, secretary
of the legation. But 1t has just be-
come known that the real cause was
hidden deep in Latin American poll
tics
Chile decided It would be good
idea to have an ambassador in Wash
ington and steps were taken to dis
cover what the United States thought
of the proposed elevation of the Chill
can representative to Washington.
The suggestion that the Chilean en-
voy might be raised to ambassadorial
rank set all Latin-America on edge
and a general movement was insti-
tuted by the southern republics to
head off such a movement Argentina,
being unfriendly to Chile, was espec-
Tally opposed to the plan, as Brazil
and Chile are always rated as allies
and Argentina did not want her two
strongest rivals to outstrip her in
American representation.
1t has not been the policy of the
state department to send ambassadors
to any country which cannot be ranked
as a world power, and when the hos
tility of the rest of South America
to such change became known, the
United States decided that the ques.
ton had better not be agitated further
at this time.

one OF the best known men in the
United States, and in 1864 he came
within one vote of beinv nominated for

HITCH is ON NINE HOURS.
Railway Employees Determined to Sc
cure Shorter Workday.

Chicago.-The railway employees in
the train service of the western rail.
roads have reduced their demands to
nine-hour workday and the govern
ment officials who came to Chicago
last week to bring about a peacable
adjustment of the threatened strike
are working hard to overcome that
obstacle. Commissioners Knapp and
Neill held an almost continuous ses-
sion on Monday with the general man.
ayers and the representatives of the
trainmen and conductors. The men
signified their willingness to accent
the wage icrease offered by the rail-
roads if the managers would grant the
demand for the nine hours work-day.
The labor delegates declared that the
wage increase asked for was a minor
consideration, but that they could not
face their constituents without secur-
ing improvements in the working con-
ditions.
1t was learned that the nine-hour
demand of the firemen was what was
preventing a settlement of that end
of the labor difficulties the western
roads are experiencing. While acting
separately entirely from the conductors
and trainmen, the fireman are stand
ing out for the same demands. and IT
is SAID, In the event of a strike being
ordered, they too would walk out.

BOSS RUFF CARRIED ON
THEIR PRIVATE PAYR0tAs
Secretly Received Twelve Hundred
Per Month From the Pacific States
Telephone Company.

San Francisco-Two sensational
pieces of evidence in the bribery-graft
investigation were adduced before the
grand jury Saturday. Three men,
bers of the executive board OF the
Pacific States Telephone company, e.
S. Pillsbury, Homer S. King, and
Timothy Hopkins, testified that they
had no knowledge whatsoever Of the
alleged bribing of supervisors to vote
against the award Of competitive
franchise to the Home Telephone COM
pany, and that If bribery was COM
mitted it was up to" Wee President
Louis Glass, whom the grand jury al
ready has indicted on nine counts to
explain. Another member of the ex-
exutive board, Percy S. Morgan, made
the same denial of knowledge sever
al days ago when on the witness
stand.
The second sensation came when
E. S. Pillsbury, who is director of
and attorney for the Pacific States Tel
phone company, testified that Abra-
ham Ruef, the indicted political boss
has been for more than two years
on the private payroll of that corpor-
alton and has been paid regularly
81 200 month. This, said Pillsbury,
was more than the salary paid to
himself. Whe undiscovered this,
he testified, he objected to the COM
pany, and his own remuneration was

LEGALITY is QUESTIONED.
Forest Service Asks Attorney Gen
craI for an Opinion.

Washington.-Th forest service has
submitted to the attorney general the
question OF the legality of the prac-
tice of so charging commercial com.
panies for the right Of conducting
water through the reserves for the
development OF power and other pur-
poses as to cause them to contribute
TO the expense of maintaining the re-
serve. The service has heretofore ex-
acted payment for pipelines taking
water from the streams In the re-
serves, but the right to do SO has
been question. and 1t Is now the pur.
pose to secure the attorney generals
view on the point. The forestry ad.
ministration takes the position that
the companies should pay something
for the service they receive, through
the conservation OF the waters OF the
streams on which they rely. and they
find their only opportunity In the
charge OF right OF way. Practically
all the water used by them Is con.
veyed through pipelines for the pro
duction OF electricity and the demand
u constantly increasing.

CHICKENS CAUSE
DEAL Of TROUBLE
Market Was Short on Poultry.
and Housewives Were EX-
ceedingIy Angry.
HENS SAID TO BE
TAKING A "LAY0FFr
Eggs May Be Advanced to 30
Cents a Dozen Next
Week.

Some of the local poultry dealers
were thinking seriously of engaging the
services of armed guards Saturday to
protect them against the onslaught of
the housewives, who were disappointed
because of shortage in the supply of
dressed chickens. Merchants IN the
vicinity of the poultry market predicted
some hair pullings before the close Of
the days business, but these predic-
tions dld not materialize, AS the good
housewife evidently understood that the
local dealer was a comparatively inno-
cent party Enough poultry had been
ordered TO supply the demand, but when
the shipments arrived it was learned
that the Eastern dealers could not fur
nish the goods in sufficient Quantities
Accordingly ii was the early customer
that got the chicken, and those who
called for poultry in the afternoon were
disappointed.
As a matter of fact, it seems that the
strike atmosphere is penetrating the
poultry yard. Although it cannot be
said that the hens have unanimously
decided TO Join in a walkout, some Of
the merchants who say they have iny
side information assert that the DANES
of the hencoop are taking Il t'lay-off -
They say that they have received q
straight tip that some of the hens have
already quit laying and that others are
preparing to take a vacation during
the summer. This would Indicate that
the supply of hen fruit Will gradually
decrease and that the price viii adj

KANSAS CROP REPORT

about complete change Of sentiment
IN the wheat pit today At the close
of the market July wheat was up Tsd
lc, September was up TO / 1sc, corn was
Hc higher, oats was up ] l@c.
The wheat market opened easier be-
cause of good weather conditions in

reversal of sentiment WIS caused by
the Kansas State crop report. 1t was
rumored yesterday that the report
would show percentage of 52.3 on
June |. 1t showed percentage Of
%, which was less than six points
higher than yesterday S prediction,
This difference was not sufficient TO
strongly affect the market, but it de-
clared that 81 per cent of tho late
wheat areas had been plowed up.
This would Indicate a crop of about
47,000000 bushels on the popular
methods of figuring Dispatches were
also received from Kansas declaring
that wheat is being cut for hay and
that further plowing is still in progress.
These things, coupled with the crop
