THE WHEAT SITUATION
RUSSIAN PRICES HIGHER THAN
IN MANY YEARS.

ODESSA. May 16-The European wheat
situation y regarded by competent grain
merchants here as being most unfavor-
able. The present prices are the highest
quoted in Russia for decades past. The
provinces Of Bessarabia Poltava, Kherson
and Podolia, where wheat is chiefly Gull
ttvated. are gravely affected. Seventy-five
per cent Of the winter crops have been
damaged by the cold weather and dry
spring. Owing to the sudden rise in tenn
persture fortnight ago from degrees be-
low freezing point to intense summer heat
the entire spring crops win be lost unless
rafn falls within week. The president Of
the grain bourse attributes the present
prices in Russia to the foreign quotations
of grain, which Russia Is compelled to fol-
low owing to the exhaustion of her stocks.
The, prospect Of q crop failure, however,
has not caused any speculation in grain

ANSWER OF THE BOARD
COMPLY WITH COURTS RULE IN
MARY e. MALE CASE.

Assistant United States Attorney Stuart
McNamara. legal adviser to the board of
education. has prepared and will file the
answer of the board to the rule issued by
Justice Anderson OF the District Supreme
Court to show cause why Miss Mary E.
Nalle. the deposed teacher of English in
the NJ Street High School, should not be
reinstated among the teaching force Of the
public schools. The case il expected to be
argued tomorrow before Justice Anderson
Miss Nalle Ia represented by Attorneys
Cuttings & Chamberlin and Richard R.
Horner.
The answer admits the dismissal of Miss
Male. but claims that 1t was for no offense
or charge against the teacher as contended
in her petition, but because the board Of
education, when II came to consider the APP
pointments and continuances of teachers In
the schools. decided that Miss Male was
not qualified in all conditions so as to be
competent to continue to teach during the
ensuing year. but was deficient in the nee
essary academic and pedagogic equipment
Of competent teacher"
The answer also admits that no trial or
investigation was given Miss Nalle. but
AYERS that none was required. The point
raised by the board Is. that 1t is not Obliged
to give q trial with counsel and friend"
when It is merely considering the rating
and academic qualifications of teacher.
and where no offense has been committed
or accusation brought against the teacher.
As to Alleged Letter.
As to the allegations Of the petition touch
ing certain letter alleged to have been
received by the relator from the assistant
superintendent Of schools, the members Of
certain letter written by relator to the
superintendent OF schools the members Of
the board say that they "are advised and
therefore aver. that the same. even II true,
are irrelevant, impairment and immaterial.
and In no wise binding on these respondents
as the board Of education. These respond
ents state that the superintendent Of schools
miss relator or other employees Of the school.
but that the said power Is vested in these
respondents as the board Of education OF
the District of Columbia
It II declared In the answer that there
was not any trial or Investigation. but that
the refator was dismissed purely because
Of her not being qualified sufficiently to
word dismissed" was used under the Ian
guage Of statute. but does not indicate In
this case anything other than a mere dis
continuance Of the employment OF the re-
lator by the board because Of her deficiency
as above set forth. After her dismissal
the respondents say. they proceeded, upon
the written Recommendation of the SUPER
intendent, to appoint teacher to the place
thus made vacant. and did so appoint a
teacher September Il. 1909. and the teacher
has been fulfilling the duties OF that posi-
ton and drawing the salary thereof since
the said date.
The respondents add that the reiator was
never charged with any -offense or accused
so as to be put upon trial or to be under
Investigation within meaning OF section ~
Of the act OF June 20. 1906.

The witness lived in q small house directly
in front of Company B barracks, at the
corner of Garrison road and the alley be-
tween Elizabeth and Washington streets, at
the point named by other witnesses as the
place where negro soldiers were said to
have scaled the wall to enter the town.

put out his light and closed his door. and
then he heard several commands froua
within the garrison wall, like Hurry up
and Jump" but as they were not spoken
in his language he could not be sure that
he heard correctly.
After putting out the light Martinez said
he lay down on the floor and he heard the
men jump over the wall. He could not
say that he saw the men climbing over.
but he was positive from the sound OF
had done so. Upon looking out after the
men passed, Martinez said he saw four or
five men running down the alley. He could
distinguish khaki uniforms, but not their
faces, for the reason. he thought that the
faces were darker than the clothes the
men wore.
Martinez was positive that the men had
rifles. and he attempted to show the COM
mittee the manner in which they carried
the guns This Indicated that the butts
of the guns were rested against the hips
when they were fired. After the men passed
down the alley the shooting continued for
about fifteen minutes, the witness thought.
and he estimated that $50 or 200 shots were
fired.
On cross-examination Senator Foraker
sought an admission from the witness that
while he was on the floor. and that he was
so badly frightened that he might have
confused the occurrences Of the night The
cross-examfnation, however. raised some
doubt as to just when and under what cir
cumstauces Martinez saw the soldiers.
