Business Genius.

He who can be "all things to all
men'-solicitou of ones patronage,
comparatively Indifferent to another,
who can study his customers likes
and dislikes, and meet them in
all their verying, and very often an
noying, moods-is he who is going to
be most successful. The ability to do
this may be described as business
genius-and it is, perhaps, the most
rare genius in the world.

Airshjn Scouts.

Probably for some time the chief
functions of airships will be scouting.
If there were NO other danger ahead
of us than the possibility that foreign
countries will excel us in the range
and skill of their scouting, that would
in itself be a sufficient reason for
making up our minds to the need OF
meeting competition on equal terms.
An army or navy with bad scouts
is Samson blinded.

CHICAGO, March S.-wheat prices
on the board of trade here today de-
elined sharply. May dropping 34c to
sl.1Sh amid scene of turmoil rare
even on the easily excited board. Longs
sold heavily on the government report
OF unexpectedly large farm reserves.
One of the most potent factors in the
bull campaign has been the belief in
most quarters that farm reserves were
as low as per cent. The government
report placing the reserves at 21.6 per
cent burst like bomb in the wheat
pit. May wheat, which week ago
sold at s1.191s and opened today at
$116A, was thrown on the market in
immense quantities, much of 1t. ae-
cording to popular belief, coming from
the trader, who has ruled the market
for months
AT $1.1312 the decline was checked
on buying by jubilant shorts, who
were securing their profits The agi-
tatlon of the spectators was apparent
IN the closing quotations. which
showed range of sc on final trades.
SUCH range is rare at the last min
ute, although even wider ranges have
frequently occurred in midsession on
an active market. At the close Nav
wheat was quoted at $1.14@1142s. The
Keen eyed reporter for the ticker found
1T all but impossible to keep track of

Wakefield WILL
FIGHT WIFPS SUIT
Denies Charge Made Against
Him and Says There Is No
Cause for Divorce
Declares All the Trouble IS Due
to the Family of His
Better Half

Friends and acquaintances of Frank
lin w. Wakefield and his accomplished
wife were amazed yesterday when they
learned that the domestic affairs of
the couple had been given such a
violent twist. Until the published re-
ports appeared yesterday it was known
to only three or four of their closest
friends that a divorce suit had been
begun by Mrs. Wakefield in the courts
of San Diego. She is IN the southern
part OF the state at present, but Wake
field is in San Francisco at his home
at California and Franklin streets. AL
though 1T is stated that Mrs. Wakefield
and her mother, Mrs j. w Sefton, are
determined that the proceedings shall
go forward to the end, Wakefield said
yesterday that he would contest. the
action in every way possible.
Wakefield has entered a sweeping
denial to the charges of his wife, who
has named a New Zealand woman as
correspondent He says that the ground
urged Tor the separation is mere
pretense, as he does not even knoev
the woman whose name has been
brought into the case.
BLAMES WIFE'S FAMILY
S Il do not blame my wife for this"
said Wakefield yesterday afternoon.
She is good woman and she was a
good wife to me- For six years we got
along without trouble of any sort This
trouble has been caused by my wife's
iamily, who have persuaded her to take
this step. They have endeavored to
take my wife from me, but 1 mean to
resist this action to the end. I have
engaged an attorney in San Diego and
other attorneys here. 1 have replied to
the suit with a denial of the charges
against me. 1 think any of my, friends
or those who know me will tell you
that have never given my wife any
foundation for divorce proceedings.
- Il am 10th to discuss this matter
but in face of-the publicity it has been
given further silence on my part might
be misunderstood
1t all began when my wife went to
San Diego. taking with her our two
little boys. I wanted to see them, but
my wife's mother objected 1 was
forced to appeal to the courts, asking
that 1 be permitted to see my own chill
dren. To this my wife has replied
with suit for divorce. 1t was the de-
sire of my wife's family to keep the
little ones from me. and there was
never thought of divorce until this
occurred"
Wakefield is at present with the
van Emon elevator company. He had
accumulated fortune before the big
disaster of 1906, and was heavy loser
by the fire. Afterward he went to the
South seas and, as a member of the
importing company, made
another fortune. His wife declined to
join him IN tN~oyouth seas, and he re-
turnedAt to SAID, He lcisco. All was har-
monious unt1lI hssv months ago. when |

SEATTLE. Wash, March s.-Two
representatives of the United wireless

to establish wireless stations in the
orient. The men will first visit China

For several years the two men have

The stations will resemble those now

Efforts will be made by the operators
who are placed in charge of the new

1A WAliAN LAW MAKERS
WITHHOLD CRITICISM
Resolution on Japanese LegisIa-
tiOn Not to Pass i'm Senate

HONOLULU, Feb. 27.-The house
concurrent resolution indorsing Presi-
dent Roosevelts Japanese policy and
criticising the anti-Japanese 1egisla-
tion INTRODUCED in Pacific coast states
probably will not pass the senate at
all, or only after it has been entirely
reframed.
The opposition is not so much either
to the Japanese or to an Endorsement
OF PRESIDENT Roosevelt, but it grows
out of the feeling that there was no
call for the resolution, the attitude of
a mere territory on the subject being
of no great significance.
While the anti-Japanese sentiment is
by no means as strong or as virulent as
it seems to be in California there is
some feeling here. There is enough OF
it to, give rise to the feeling that the
people of California and other Pacific
coast states may have justification for
their proposed legislation, and that
therefore it is both unneighborly and
ungenerous in Hawaii to criticise them
for matters of legislation in regard to
what they deem their own domestic
concerns.

TARIFF CONFERENCE
AT WHITE HOUSE
President Taft and Party Lead
ers Consider Admins
tration Plan

WASHINGTON, March s.-The prob
lem of providing funds with which 10
carry on the projects under way to
maintain the plans of the Taft admin
istration and to make the demands
square with a new tariff schedule is
the work with which President Taft,
Senator Aldrich, Speaker Cannon and
Secretary of Treasury MacYeagh were
engaged at a two hours conference at
the White House today
The necessity for the enactment of
a tariff bill at the earliest possible
moment was discussed. but whether a
definite policy was outlined could not
be stated. That the manufacturers and
other large interests are demanding
early tariff legislation and that busi-
ness will be unsettled until the tariff
schedules are finally fixed were the
principal reasons for the desire to per-
nit nothing to interfere with prompt
action at the special session of con-
gress.
REPUBLICANS STAND PLEDGED
The possible delay which the house
insurgents" may cause by fighting the
rules and the further difficulties that
may be put in the way of getting the
tariff bin through without delay were
thoroughly gone into. The conferees
house and senate is pledged by; the
party platform TO let nothing inter-
fere with an immediate revision.
Taft has made a consistent fight for
a genuine revision of the tariff and has
let it be known that he would be sat
isfied with nothing less. In his in
augural address he frankly called at
tention to the 500, ,000 600 deficit con-
fronting his administration and he sug-
gested the possibility or the necessity
Of an inheritance tax.
STAMP TAX SUGGESTED
Secretary Macveagh has allowed
himself to be quoted as to the possible
necessity Of a stamp tax.
It is certain that since today's con-
ference there is a more definite under
standing as to what may be desired
Of the proposed new tariff as revenue
producer. If it has been concluded
that tariff provision must be radical,
provision in the bill may be looked for
which will have for its purpose the
raising of revenue by other means than
a tax on imports.
Mr.. MacVeagh was sworn in as sec
retary of the treasury at 8 o'clock, and
soon thereafter was at the White
House conference.
President Taft conferred with Post
master General Hitchcock, saw many
and representatives who
wished to make their peace at head
quarters with reference to future pat
-onage.
