The Increase in the Price Of Flour
Causes Bakers in Scotland to
Raise the Price OF Bread.

London, May 15.--The European
wheat situation according to the gen
orally accepted view here. resolves
itself into questions OF supply and de
mand 1t is explained that 1t Is not
speculation alone which has brought
about the present high prices. The
situation has been strongly Influenced
by buying for demand. Germany has
been purchasing Australian and Ar.
gentine cargoes for six weeks, the
shortness of stock in that country be.
ing caused TO some extent by selling
considerable quantities of both rye
and wheat to Russia, as last years
Russian crop suffered damage. Ger.
many, therefore, must now get about
100000 quarters more between Janu.
airy 10 and the end of July this year
than she did during the same period
last year. This fact Is regarded here
as mainly instrumental ii causing the
squeeze.
1t is also acknowledged that consid
cradle damage has been done to the
winter crops in Germany, Roumania,
Hungary and along the Danube, ex-
tending to about 40 per cent. One
Bulgarian report says that In places
it Is about 80 per cent.
From all Europe, France excepted
the advices are unfavorable.
Liverpool, May 15.-The prices OF
wheat futures here Tuesday were
lower. According to the opinions OF
dealers the Increase in the price OF
wheat Is due to the shortage of the
crops In the United States, Southern
Russia and Roumania and not to
speculative movements.
The latest reports from Bucharest
say unless rain falls in a few days the
spring crops in the whole OF Rou-
mania will suffer severely.
Owing to the Increase In the price
of -four the Scotch bakers have raised
the price of bread
Warsaw, Russian Poland, May l5..-
Several Russian papers say that the
landed proprietors in the central and
Volga districts are sowing little grain
Because they fear agrarlan strikes
The. same conditions prevail In the

fuse to sign foreign grain contracts,
believing that the harvests will be in
adequate to the local demands.

In Securing Jury to Try
Haywood Is Near.
RAPID PROGRESS
Was Made tuesday end Il Is Thought
the Jury viii be Completed
by Next Saturday.

Boise, Idaho, May 15.--Substantial
progress towards the formation of q
jury to try William d. Haywood for
the alleged murder of ex.Gov. Steun.
enberg was made ON Tuesday, the
third day of the trial. The selection
of talesmen halted for three hours
over chairs numbered and 6, but
once those seats had been filed pro.
gress was rapid.
At adjournment counsel for the de.
fense had temporarily passed the
tenth talesman. They have but two
more to examine in chief and re.
servation to examine two of those
temporarily passed. So with reason
able progress the twelfth talesman
should be passed to-day in time ia
open the way for the first peremptory
challenge, whose exercise marks en-.
try to the final stage in the selection
of the jury. Counsel for the state
still adhere to the belief that the jury
will be completed by Saturday.
Clarence Darrow and Edgar Wilson
for the defense divided the work OF
examining talesmen. Their questions
took the same wide range as outlined
by their associate, Mr.. Richardson,
and, sanctioned by Judge Wood. Mr.
Wilson added to the long train of CON
nections, readings, influences and as
sociation that might teld to disqualify
juror. that OF membership in the
Idaho militia. which at various times
has been called upon to quell strike
disorders. This examination failed
however, to disclose any military
men among the talesmen.
Mr.. Darrow's attitude and inquiry
were earnest, to the point of solem
nifty. He gravely invited each tales
man to place himself mentally In the
serious position of the prisoner and
then to honestly ask q himself II he
wou1d care to be tried by IL men oi
minds framed like his own.

The decision to rescind the call was
reached Tuesday by Chairman Walter

with prominent republicans, CHIEF
among whom were Gov. Harris and
Arthur l. Vorys, the manager OF the
Taft campaign.
For the present at least the prob
ability OF an open fight between the
Taft and Foraker-Dick factions of the
republican party In this state has
passed. The struggle is still on, how
ever, and the indications are that 1t
Will terminate only with the retire
ment of either Foraker or Taft.
The meeting of the state central
committee was TO have been an ad.
Junct to the general conference Of
party leaders which was cancelled by
Senator Dick. The Foraker people
have all along claimed that the con-
troll OF the party machinery was in
their hands and there was desire
among many followers OF Secretary
Taft to prove the accuracy of this as
sertion. Telephone calls and tele-
graph messages rained upon Chair
man Brown and Mr.. Vorys Tuesday,

Argument. Against the Jon.. Law.

ments in the Martin Doering case
from Cincinnati, in which the validity
Of the Jones local option law is at.
tackled The main point OF attack
made by the attorneys was that the
constitution requires all elections to
be by ballot. II a Jones law election
was not an election, then the mayor or
Judge who passes upon 1t acts in a
ministerial capacity and not a judicial
one and their acts were not subject
10 review by the courts. II this is
true they claim the law must fall. for
the legislature never proposed to
place such great power In the hands
OF these officials without chance of ap.
