WHEAT PITS ARE
. FAIRLY TREMBLING
PRICE ADVANCES BY LEAPS
AND BOUNDS
Excitement Is Now Greater Than at
Any Time Since the Black
Rust Scare Of
-.-..- .. 1904 ...-...-.

| BY Associated Press.
! CHICAGO, May 11.-Excitement such
as has not laen seen on the oard of
trade since tie "black rust scare of
1904 existed today when wheat, which
had been steadily advancing for sew
eral days, took another jump of more
than cents.
Frantic efforts were made by the
bears to get from under the advance,
but they were met by demand which
came from all parts of the country and
swept everything before it. The high
mark for the July options was 91&c, for
September 93Ac., an for December
95Bc.
All options closed very close to the
high mark, and with the bullish feeling
still unabated. The cau5e of the up
turn which has taken place in the last
few days is the widespread belief that
this years crop of winter wheat will
show a notable decrease as compared
with that of 1906. Cold weather In the
west and northwest, freezing temper
atures in the Canadian northwest and
damage said to have been done in the
southwest by the green bug aided the
rush upward
Inc TRADERS were OF tue Oplillon lIdl
wheat has been advancing too rapidly
during the last few days and that IL
reaction was due. So many orders
poured in from the country, however,
that it was certain that the expected
setback would not como until later in
the day,
Once trading las in full swing, the
orders from the country came so fast
and in such numbers that the local
crowd was carried before it. Desperate
efforts were made from time to time by
the shorts to item the advance, and
once they forced the price of the July
option down &c. This was only tenn
porary. The flood of buying orders
continued, and when the market closed
the prices were close to the high mark
of the day and the movement seemed to
have lost no force.
Some of the leading houses traded i'll
of bushels during the first half
hour, and the activity increased as the
market progressed.
The bulls were claiming with much
that the price of July wheat
would go above 81, with the other op-
tions moving up accordingly. They
based their claim on the presumption
that the crop of winter wheat will be
about 100000 bushels less than the
crop of last year. The strong markets
abroad, the bulls contend, prove that
there will be strong demand for ex-
port from this country which it may be
difficult to meet.

DECLARES COURTS
WERE A F|ASC0
Major General Greedy of the Army
Says That Formerly They Were
Only Instruments of Pri-
Vate interests
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 11.-Rule of the
United States government in Alaska
was criticised severely last night by
Maj. Gen. A. w. Greedy, commander
of the northern division of the United
States army, in an address before the
Geographical society of Chicago.
Gen. Greedy has made several polar
expeditions on one of which his party
established a record for 'farthest
north" and all but seven of the party
perished. Within the last two years
he has explored parts of Alaska.
1.-The same trouble predominates in
Alaska today that has characterized the
attitude of the United States govern
ment toward all the aborigines with
which it has come in contact" said
Gen. Greely 1T never treats them
fairly. 1t has put the Esquimaux or
the Alaskan Indians on the road to
ruin.
"A few years ago the United States
courts were a fiasco. 1t was a wonder
to me that the entire lot of govern
ment officials were not hanged by mob
law. l have been in mining camps
where, as the old saying goes, they
hanged five men before breakfast for
less provocation than was imposed on
the people of Alaska. The courts were
only Instruments of private interests" +"
Gen. Greedy said the blood-thrilling
episodes of Alaska described by some
writer's are exaggerations.

Use Of the Drag Rope
Mr.. Mccoy was asked to explain the

ut is used" he said. ito facilitate
the descent. The weight of the rope
we carried was about seventy pounds
All that is so much ballast. AS the
balloon comes down the weight of the
rope is gradually lessened as 1t touches
the ground. This is equivalent to
throwing out sand.
Sometimes the life of the balloonist
may be put in danger by some we'll
meaning but ignorant person on the
ground who thinks the rope is there for
him to take hold of. L remember an
experience of that sort when Lieuten-
ant Lahm and were up in a balloon
south Of Paris.
"a group of a dozen school children
caught hold of the rope when we were
about 800 feet in the air and pulled the
balloon .merrily back and forth. They
were having great sport. Threats and
entreaties had no effect on them. They
held to the hope for half an hour until
a man came and drove them away.
1--WE might have thrown out a couple
of sacks of sand, so that the balloon
would have shot up and pulled the
rope from their grasp. But we were
afraid to do it,, for fear one or more
of the children might be jerked twenty
or thirty feet UP in the air.
On the flight from st. Louis Mccoy

Wednesday morning while the
balloon was above the clouds, bearing
brief messages telling the attitudes that
had been reached. Neither of the birds
has returned. Mr., Mccoy thinks they
became lost in the clouds.
The pigeons belonged to John Parkin-
son, who has a loft at his home, 1915

best known pigeon fanciers in the coun-
try. His homing birds are the winners

TUBE FRAUDS ARE
UNDER SEARcHL|CHT
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, May 11.-After hear
ing several witnesses for the defense
today the trial of James ]. Dunn and
Charles l.. Close, charged with fur
nishing defective boiler tubes for war
ships, was adjourned until Monday.
Mayor Coleman of McKeesport, for
merly an inspector at the Shelby Tube
works, said he had never placed any
importance in hydrostatic test, as that
test had been instituted for an entire
ly different kind of tube from the one
in question.
Former Inspector Burdsell testified
to leaving the stamps in the desk at
Greenville and that he identified the
tested tubes by the manner in which
the stamp was placed upon them. He
said it was possible for the most ex-
pert inspector to be deceived when d
combination of mill owners and en-
ployes are working against him.
Commander w. w. White of the bu-
reau of steam engineering at Washing
ton, said he was detailed to the trials
of the Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Ver-
mont and Maryland and examined
their boilers after the trial runs. From
the Pennsylvania 100 tubes We're with
drawn, while the boiler tubes upon the
other ships We're examined by electric
light, without removal. None of the
tubes examined, he said, had been
found defective.

WORK STARTS ON
DRAINAGE TUNNEL
Cripple Creek istrict to BE Tapped
at Depth of 1880 Feet
Below the Sur
face
BY Associated Press

by ASSOCIATED fTeSS.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, May IL
The building of the great Cripple
Creek drainage tunnel inaugurated to-
day by the governor of the state and
distinguished visitors marks an epoch
in the history of the famous gold camp.
The pc tai of the tunnel is located
on the stream known as Cripple creek
and is situated at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. 1t will drain the
entire Cripple Creek district at q depth
of about 1880 feet from the surface, or
730 feet t-low the present water level.
The district is drained at present by
the Ell Paso tunnel, which cuts the Ell
Paso mine on the west side of the dis
trict, on Beacon hill, at a depth of
about 800 feet from the surface, and
the Vindicator mine, on the east side
of the camp, at depth of 1875 feet.
1t will therefore be seen that the
new tunnel will drain the Beacon hill
section at a depth of about 1880 feet
and the east side at a depth of about
1000 feet from the surface.
The length of this tunnel from it's
portal to the main contact near the FL
Paso shaft, at which point it begins to
drain the district, is about $4,000 feet.
Figuring at the rate of $50 per foot.
it would cost 100000 to this point. To
continue it to the Vindicator, a further
distance of $4,000 feet, as estimated
would cost an additional $360,000.
1t is figured that it will take total
of from three and half to four years
to construct the tunnel. But all this
time ore will be extracted from the
upper and reclaimed levels.
The Cripple Creek district has thus
far produced more than 100000, 900.
During 1906 the production was nearly
$17.000,000, and this rate of production
has been steadily maintained for years.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE charter bill,
which today passed the legislature, will
give the city much needed relief. For
many years Chicago has been hampered
by a charter designed for city of
more than 100000 Inhabitants.
1t has at times been impossible for
the city under it's charter provisions to
borrow money for urgent current re-
quirements. although bankers were
eager to lend the money because the
lawful limit of debt had been reached.
Local improvements of all kinds have

is to close the deal for the land
and to complete other prelimin-
ary details necessary before ac-

the successful realization of the
humane purpose in view. The
old Huning ranch on the Show
low situated in the foothills of
tbs White Mountains was the
ideal spot chosen

SAYS THE EXPERT
PROFESSOR AMoRI THINKS THAT WITH

THE EARTHQUAKE BELT SOME THEORIES OF FORECAST
SHOCKS

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 22.-"The
present era of strong earthquake &C
tivity has been completed and l be-
lieve that for many years to come
there will be no strong seismic dis
turbances."
DR.. F.. OmOri, professor of seismo-
logy Of the imperial university Of
Tokyo, who arrived by the steamer
Kaga Maru yesterday on his way to
The Hague to attend an international
chronological conference, made the
above statement on board the liner to-
day.
DR.. Omori was last in Victoria in
May of last year on his way to San
Francisco to investigate the circum-
stances attending the earthquake dis
aster of April 18, 1906, and in an Inter
view given here he said: ''The next
severe seismic disturbance will prob
ably take place in Chile" Within
three months Chile's most important
city, Valparaiso, had been devastated,
place elsewhere in Chile.
Il have demonstrated clearly as a
result of investigations extending over
many years, the existence of an earth
quake zone, said DR.. Omori. "By look
ing at the map the A1eutian islands
and the Japanese islands will be seen
to lie in the form of arcs, and also
the Himalaya range of mountains This
arc has been in each case formed by
the pressure from the concave side
In the case of the Aleutian and Japa-
nese islands the sea is exceedingly deep
on the convex side Of this arc and shall

the Japanese coast the sea depth is
greater than in most parts, if not all
other parts of the world, being 5000
meters, the sea of Japan is a shallow
water. 1t is on the steep sides of the
formations that the earthquake belt Is
most clearly shown.
"The earthquake zone follows the
borders of the Pacific ocean for the
principal part of its scope. Extending
from the Southern part of the Ameri-
can continent on the Pacific it extends
to Alaska, and follows the Aleutian
islands and Kuriles to North Jaban.
From the latitude of the vicinity OF
FormOsa, or slightly farther south, it
follows the steep side, or convex side
of the arc made by the Himalaya
mountains, to the Caucasus, ana
thence along the northern coast of
the Mediterranean. Observations have
shown that the southern side of the
Himalayas is steep, like the great
depths of the ocean on the convex
sides of the arcs made by the Aleutian
and Japanese islands, while the Thibe-
tan side is sloping and fiat in COMPARE

as Canada or Siberia, for instance, that
are seemingly more immune.
"The earthquake in San Francisco
was one of the most extensive Of mod
ern times. It's area was 300 miles in
extent. The displacement was hori-
zontal, and everything that crossed
was torn apart. The maximum dis
placement was twenty-one feet. The
depression was not so great, the great
est amount of depression being two
feet. What it showed most was that
earthquakes did not occur at random
places, as thought. Observation shows
