WHEAT TO S1.29
WHEN BOARD OPENS
PATTEN SAID TO BE IN CON-
Troll OF JULY AND DECEM-
Der SITUATION.

Chicago, July 16.-In whirl of col
lar-wilting exchanges In the wheat
pit at the opening of the board of
trade yesterday July wheat was
boosted in no time at all from S1.271a
to s129, with a possibility of $3.50
before the close of the day.
The oppressive atmospheric condi-
lions had no visible effect on the
traders. They fought for wheat as
if it was the middle of winter, and,
inasmuch as the change in price came
quickly, showed the intensity of teel
ing on the board today.
Although July scared September
and December options were from as
to e cents lower at the opening.
New York was up cents and st.
Louis 2 cents in the favorite option.
Ten cars Of new winter wheat came
into Minneapolis yesterday from ,he
southwest.
There is no corner. That is tie
declaration of the bulls, who have the
situation so closely tucked under
their arms that a deal similar to that
in May wheat is expected to be ma
nipulated by the king of wheat,
James A. Patten, and his crowd.
Patten in Control.
Patten is controlling the July and
December situations with a tong
and mighty hand. His following smiles
in the light of his countenance while
the bears are getting all the stfngers.
j. ogden Armour also is a bull in
this campaign. He has both hands
on the September situation.
The July bulls declare that the July
situation will vindicate the judgment
of Mr. Pattern as it was indicated in
the May situation. They predict
prosperity for the farmer and no more
cheap wheat.

BEES BLOCKADE
A STEAM RAIL WAY
SWARM IN A STANDPIPE AND
KEEP TRAIN CREW
OFF.
BUT STREAM OF WATER FINALLY
is USED TO GOOD
EFFECT

Spokane, Wash, July 16.-While
swarming bees are credited with do
ing all sorts of unusual things, prob
ably this is the first time that queen
and its retinue and subjects COM
pletely tied up steam railroad. 1t
happened on the Hartman system at
Twin Falls, Idaho, the other day,
when swarm accomplished what
the national congress, James ]. Hill
and we'll organized agencies have ut
terly failed to do.
Tin dishpans, tomtoms,, whistles
and other recognized lures failed 10
dislodge the swarm, which had set
tied in the spout of the standpipe at
the water tank, where a long train of
freight cars stood on the main line
without sufficient water in the boiler
of the big Mogul to pull out. The
driver and coal-heaver did excellent
team work in trying to reach the pipe,
but the bees gave them short shift
and the mer refused to make the sec
ond attempt.
Fl. A. Swab, local expert in bee
matters, bore down upon the scene
to capture the swarm. He was armed
with a nail key and two long sticks.
He sent his helper to- coax the bees
into the keg but in less than six sec
onGs he assistant had a score of ac-
tive bees up his sleeves, land he made
tho 1xxTnx dot
Swab also remembered he had an
important business engagement else
where.
The foreman and members of the
section crew were next routed, and
when the engineer appealed to Agent
Sullivan that worthy declared it was
a matter for the maintenance of way
department. The conductor of the
stalled train suggested sending for
the sheriff, while the stoker insisted
upon calling out the fire brigade. The
brakeman on the front end, offered no
solution, as he was nursing dozen or
more knobs of the size of mature
hickory nut on face, hands and body.
Finally, by-stander prescribed the
water cure, adding: IF that doesn't
drive 'em away nothing will" A well
directed stream from garden hose
seemed to have a quieting effect, and
the pipe was lowered to the intake on
the tender and the tank filled with
bees and water.
While replacing the pipe the fire
man was attacked by few strag-
giers and TO protect himself from
further onslaught he tied a red ban
danna handkerchief round his head.
After raising the spout he tucked the
handkerchief into his pocket and ac-
cepted the congratulations of the on
lockers upon his escape, but while
hopping his face vagrant bee
winged it's way out of the folds of the
bandana and stung him on the lip.
After the excitement with the bees,
two small boys climbed to the roof of
the water tank and with bare hands
captured the queen, placing Il in the
bottom of the key. into which the
bees quickly swarmed Swab bought
the swarm, presenting the boys Sl.25
to swell the candy and lemonade
fund, and the incident CLOSED.
AS it is no. likely that the real
cause of delaying the train will be in
corporated in the official report to
headquarters, the foregoing record is
made to show what caused the tie up
on the line.

FRICTION BETWEEN
TAFT AND LEADERS
REPORT THAT PRESIDENT SENT
FOR ALDRICH AND PAYNE
is DENIED.
EXECUTIVE SAID TO INSIST THAT
CERTAIN SCHEDULES BE
MADE SATISFACTORY.

Washington, July Evidences of
friction between the president and
conferees on the tariff bill yesterday
began to disturb the relations be-
tween the white house and capitol.
A last effort has been made by the
r6nferees to induce the president to
consent to the striking out of the cor
poration tax amendment without sue.
cess. The president not only told
Aldrich and Payne he would not with
draw from his position in favor of
this tax, but that he was assured of
sufficient votes to keep the provision
in the bill and to insure its adoption
in both houses. Pains were taken at
the white house yesterday TO make it
clear that the president did not send
for Aldrich and Payne on the occa-
sion of Wednesday nights conference,
but the conference had been sought
by the legislative leaders who re-
ported to their colleagues yesterday
that President Taft stood solidly for
the tax and would not retreat from
his aggressive position regarding it.
In his talks with the senate con-
ferees regarding the bill, the presi-
dent has been met with the state
ment that while the conferees would
be glad to do all in their power to
carry out his wishes with respect to
certain schedules, they stand pledged
TO certain of their colleagues in the
senate, whose constituents are partic-
ularly interested in the items under
consideration, and cannot alter their
position in support of the senate
rates until released from the pledges
given.
The conferees have suggested to
the president that he send personally
for the senators to whom pledges to
consented to the release of the con-
ferees, the latter would be glad to go
ahead and accept the lower rates.
The president, it is declared, has
adopted this suggestion and during
the past two days has had talks with
senators who stand back of several
schedules. From all outward indica
tons, however, it is assumed that
not much progress has been made.
All of these newly discovered facts
have revived talk of a possible veto
by the president when the bill
reaches him.
The president, however, according
to authoritative information, is still
hopeful that out of the conference
consideration will come a satisfactory
measure. The president has indicat-
ed to the conferees that he is partic-
ularly interested in securing free
hides, free oil. free coal and a mater
ial reduction in the lumber schedule.
He also has expressed his interest in
other schedules which have to do with
the necessaries of life. Excellent
progress on the schedules was made
by the conferees yesterday, a large
number of differences in chemicals.
earthenware, metals and agricultural
products having been adjusted.

1t is plainly stated that both men reached the pole
it is also plainly stated that neither of them did any
such thing. Among those who have paid close at
tention to the controversy, have examined what rec
ords have been submitted by the rivals there is a
disposition to believe the stories of both dis

astronomer, Signor Francesca Faccin da Schio. of
Bergamo absolutely repudates the claim of Com
mander Peary that he was at the pole on April G.
his position being determined by the moon, because
the moon at that time was below the equator and
hence was invisible at the north pole On the
days Immediately following April 6 the moon sank
lower and lower below the equator, and hence was
not visible at the pole for some time after that date
The statement of Signor Faccin is confirmed bv
the observations of other astronomers not only in
italy, but in other countries
The most generous view of the controversy is
one which comedies that both DR.. Cook and Com
mander Peary are acting in good faith The ter

much exploration, and it not likely that any expe-

magnificent audience which greeted him, the Pres

ambitions of the people
After the tabernacle services the school children
were reviewed, the Y. NJ. G. A was visited and the

station and his departure
During his stay in Salt Lake Mr.. Taft was of

acknowledged his gratefulness Cor the cordially of

thing they could think of to make his visit pleasant
and no doubt the President carries away with him
the most gracious remembrances of the city and its
people. But it is impossible for the President to
have more pleasant impression of Salt Lake than
Salt Lake has of him. Every one of the hundred
thousand who the President will remember the
