Editor Tho Washington Herald:
This is the season Of aCorns. There are
acorns and acorns; even the city Of New

acorns they are. II Is a society, demo

Il seems 10 me.

grandest city that ever was before or 70

Here is one statement in the last put

city of equal opportunity" AS I read
that. an Irishman sitting by me said:
Il used TO pay money into that society
Sure the sons Of rich men can get drunk
and break windows, and II they are ar
rested they are tried IN a private room.
while poor boys get the public switch.
There is no equality; classes are every

no word against persons from the old

Washington, Jan. 19.-Definite action
has been taken by the house "insur-
gents" in their fight against the exist
ing rules, of the lower. branch of con-
gress. At a caucus attended by "a
members, two principles were agreed
upon-first, that the house and not the
speaker should select all committees
including the committee on rules; sec
ond, that there should be a call of the
committee at least one day a week.
A committee consisting of Represen-
tative Gardner of Massachusetts, chair
man, Madison of Kansas, and Cooper
of Wisconsin,, were appointed to SO re-
wise the house rules as to conform to
these principles and report next Mon
day night, when another caucus will be
held.
Representative Pollard, of Nebraska,
was appointed chairman of a committee
on procedure and Murdoch of Kansas,
chairman of a committee on publicity

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago Jan. 9-WHEAT-F'irm cables,
small receipts in the northwest, and a con-
tinued brisk demand for cash wheat formed
a combination which created strong mar
ket for wheat here today and enabled the
bull leaders to advance prices more than
nc during early trading. Offerings in the
pit were light. Receipts at Minneapolis
start prices were up 1kc to 1zc, May open
ing at $1O6s4 to $107 Later May sold at
$l07A
The high point for May was reached at
81. O7ss@1 .O71s The market lost some of its
strength late in the day owing to profit
taking but the close was firm with May
up 15c at S1.O7.
CORN-Local shorts and a leading eleva-
tor interest were active bidders for corn
which caused considerable strength in that
market. Initial quotations showed gains
of 1sc to sc with May opening at 61Ssc
to 6119c. For a time prices held within
the opening range.
Trading was quiet during the final hour
and the market closed steady with May
sc higher at 6112c.
OATS-The feature of trade in oats was
in active demand for the September de-
livery by leading commission houses. As
a result of this demand, the market in
general was firm. May opened 1s614c to
Aa9sc higher at 511e@515sc to 51ssG5l94c and
sold at 51szc. .t4
