IN EVE Of SECOND TRIAL
Alleged Embezzier Of Public Funds
Ends His Life.


Binghampton, N. Y, April lon
the eve of his second trial on the
charge of e~mbezzlement of Broome
county funds Arthur w. T. Back. for.
mer clerk Of the Broome county board
of supervisors, former custodian of
county buildings and former chairman
Of the Broome county Republican
committee, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head.
Back was indicted by the Broome
county grand jury in August. 1907, on
eight charges of forgery and grand
larceny growing out of his conduct Of
the offices enumerated above. His
occupancy of these offices gave him
control Of the work of building roads,
on which Broome county embarked on
s generous scale In 1908, and as a re-
suit Back built up a powerful political
machine. After an investigation by
District Attorney Clark and State
Comptroller Glynn the latter reported
that 100000 had been dispersed from
the Broome county treasury upon the
sole order and audit of Back and that
of this amount $1O6,S08 was paid d.
rectly to Back and $176. $50 to a clerk
in Backs employ and dispersed by
them.

WHEAT CONTINUES
TO BREAK RECORDS
May Option Goes to sL28 and
July to SII7 3-8.

Chicago, April 14.-Breaking of
high record marks, which has been a
daily performance in the wheat pit for
nearly two weeks, was again a feature
of early trading, all deliveries advanc-
ing considerably beyond the seasons
high point recorded on the previous
session. The July option, a minute or
two after. the opening, sold at $1.17N,
while September, on initial transac-
tions, sold at $1.0sA to $1.09M. A
furry in the May delivery, trade in
which is now very limited, carried the
price of that option up to $1.2S, a gain
Of is cents compared with the pre-.
vious high point. The advance in
May was said to have been largely
due to the closing out of trades for a
New York house, which has a branch
Office here and which was said to be
in financial difficulties.
