continued and prices again advanced
until they touched for July and Sep
tember 91as and 91A respectively.

West and Northwest proved strong
ally of the government crop report In
elevating prices. The weather bureau
predicted continued cold weather
throughout large portion of the win

From Kansas came reports covering
ninety-one counties In the state de-
claring that the condition Of the wheat

Chicago, May 13.-The charter
which was granted to this city by the
legislature at Springfield will grant 1t
much needed relief. For many years
Chicago has struggled with a charter
originally designed for the use Of a
city of not more than 100000 inhab-

BILE for the city, under its charter pro-
visions, to borrow money for urgently
needed requirements, although bank.
ers stood ready and eager TO lend the
money, because the limit of debt had
been reached Local improvements OF
all kinds have been retarded or
dropped altogether by previous city
administrations for the reason that
the city could borrow only such a sum
of money as would, under similar cir
cumstances, be barely sufficient for a
place of one-fourth of its present size.

Wisconsin Senator Will Make Sew

Washington, d. c., June 23.-Sena-
tor La Follette's presidential boom
will be pushed with vigor from this
time forth. This is the assei ion of
his lieutenants here, who have been
keeping in touch. with the conditions
and watching the progress of the
booms for Taft, Fairbanks, Knox,
Hughes and others.
Senator La Toilette has been hunt
ing in Colorado, but he has finished
this and has gone on the Chautauaua
lecture platform for the rest of the
summer and fall. He spoke at Mitch
ell, S. d., yesterday. He will speak
in a large number of states before
congress meets and will make fifteen
or twenty speeches in Iowa.
He will discuss railroad questions,
control of trusts and corporations,
and will read roll calls, showing how
various senator's have failed to serve
in the interest of their constituents
on various questions.
He is assured of the delegation
from Wisconsin and his friends say
he will have a strong following in
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Dakota and
Oregon. He will also, so his friends
believe, get eastern support. In New
Hampshire former Senator William E.
Chandler has declared for him and
will give him strong support, and in
New Jersey, where he led in beating
Dryden for the senate, he has fol-
lowing that may become formidable

There are three unofficial versions
of the cause of the wreck. One is
that the passenger train for New Brit

second is that the work train had the
right of way until 7 o'clock and
should have had a clear track. The
third is that the work train crew fail

The progressives and coterie of

aim being to strengthen their posi-

a ruling under which a number of the
denunciatory articles published in the

most important pieces of evidence
against William ID. Haywood when, re-

examination, it introduced and Sc
