While many of the fairer sex cannot
become members of the greatest fra
ternal order in the world it is prob

NEW PRICE RECORD
SET IN WHEAT PIT
Furry Among Chicago
Traders Today Results
in Higher Marks.

CHICAGO. May 24-With delivery for
May wheat Just six days off. the wheat
pit was excited today and new high
price records were made in May and
July.
In the first hour May had advanced
to $685.. = higher than any previous
record. July went to SIIS5z. a new
record for the crop. September jumped
up TO $l.10. The only thing that kept
the market from becoming a runaway
was the scarcity Of offerings. Traders
stood in the pit and shouted themselves
hoarse but IL was mostly noise.
James A Patten appeared on the floor
and directed the operations of his
brokers. Traders expressed the belief
today that the bull Reader has : 1sseU
the danger point, and that ne cannot
help but make handsome profit on his
May deal.
Brokers declare there IS no chance OF
the bears breaking the market naterial-
Iy this week.
The traders also believe that Pa-ten
has not bought as much July wheat
as had been supposed.

TYRANNIZED.
INSISTS LARRINAGA
Porto Rican Delegate OPP
poses Remedy Proposed
by Taft.

Declaring that the Porto Rican people
had been subjected to tyrannical govern
ment under the Foraker act. Delegate
TulliO Larrinaga- resident commission
eT from Porto Rico, today opposed the
passage Of the amendment to the or
ganic law of the island suggested by
President Taft.
The House went into committee of
the whole, after first referring Presi-
dent Tafts message on the Porto Ricau
trouble to the Ways and Means Com
IOlttee. The message was sent 10 the
House two weeks ago. but had never
been referred 10 any committee be-
cause the Democrats tried 10 enforce
InsulaT Affairs at this time After the
Republicans had obtained a majority
through the call of the House. Il put
through a motion to refer the message
to the Ways and Means Committee.
Representative Payne. tbs major
fty's floor leader. tried to hive dis
cussiOn of the Porto Rican bill put
of until next Thursday, but the Dem
ocrats objected and he was compelled
to call it up when committees were
called in the regular order Of bEss-
ness.
Payne explained the nfIr and said
that the Presidents message was the
best argument for its passage II
provides merely for the apprOpria-
ton Of moneys necessary to carry on
the Government expense in case the
Porto Rican house Of delegates has
neglected to make the annual appro-
priatiOn.
This is the same law that is in eff
feet in Hawaii and IN the Philippines
