MORGAN ELATED.
Over His Advocacy of Home Rule for
Cities.

The legislators who have been ad-
vocating home rule for cities In their
regulation of public utilities are feel
ing pretty good today. w Y. Morgan
was surrounded with smiles and grins
when approached by a State Journal
reporter today. He said in part:
We won the fight in the public
utility bill. We stood for a law that
would give every city in the state, no
matter whether it had a population
of 10000 or less, a right to regulate,
supervise and fix rates for its own
public utilities.
1--WE believe this should be done by
the people themselves or by their
elected representatives and not by
stated board appointed by the COVER
nor.
''We believe in just as thorough
regulation or even more so than do
the advocators of the administration
bill, but we think this regulation
should be by the cities, and they
should pay their own expense and not
by state board at the expense of the
state
81 believe the legislature will pass
a strong public utility bill placing
power and government in the cities"
The Topeka state journal., 1909-02-27

companies 400 per cent on their invest
Inent, the street railways 100 per cent,

CORNER IN WHEAT.
Leader of Bulls Appears to Be in
Complete Control.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-The wheat market
continued its record breaking ascent to-
day May selling at s119 and the July
delivery at S1o57b shortly after the session
of the board of trade opened
The pit was in ferment of excitement.
The demand for May and July seemed un-
limited, and in the rapid fire of bidding
the pit clerk had great difficulty in prop
erly recording quotations. The nervous
ness of the market was indicated by
opening quotations, which in instant
covered a range of Seven-eighths of a
cent. Enormous realizing sales followed
the advance, May dropping a full cent
from the top.
The leading holder is credited with a
line of wheat twice large as the
amount in the local warehouses He is
admitted to be in complete control of the
situation. At SL19 today May wheat was
within a cent of the price which this
speculator prophesied several months ago.

as light as day. The game was played
between teams representing the Elks
lodges of Cincinnati and Newport. Ky.
and was fast in all departments. The
players handled hard infield hits with
apparently as much certainty and ease
as If they had been playing in the glare
of MONDAY. What little difficulty there
was experienced in judging balls fell
to the outfelders. and these players
missed but TWO out Of a possible four
teen hits TO the outfield during the sew
en- innings played.
President Garry Hermann Of the
Cincinnati Reds said after witnessing
the game:

The governments generous subsidy
for airship experiments is timely, but
1t is not ahead of time. Attempts to
initiate the bird have not succeeded.
and man may be as far today FROM
practical flying as he was months ago
or years ago. But astonishing flights
have been made. and it will be a serv-
ice to mankind to have the matter set
tied without delay. Other governments
are experimenting. private parties are
backing up inventors, and if there Is
anything in il the nation which hangs
back now will be behind in the game
whether it makes for war or CONNER
ciaI progress.
The prize for a. definite exhibiti1C
of the airship up to date offered by \
newspaper is also timely. The novel
and picturesque sides of the flying
machine have been exploited. Great
things have been predicted for it by
experts, anu otner experts udNe us
