WHEAT PRICES MOVE
SHARPLY IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Sept. 14.-There was an
other day of decidedly good action
in wheat, but in a way 1t was a dis
appointing market. The quick turns
in prices, both ways, were largely the
result of the heavy sales by bull
leaders at one time and extensive
covering of short lines by bear lead
ers who have been antagonistic to the
recent advance at another time.
The leader who covered probably
1000. 900 bushels in this market and
probably as much more in the north
west markets, returned from the
spring wheat country this morning
claiming that farmers were not SELL
ing the crop as expected, Nd that
wheat in stacks will stand for
while. He likewise said that much
Of the wheat taken to country sta
tions is being stored by wheat rails
ers.
When the principal covering for
the session was over, the market was
left without good supporting orders
and there was enough profit taking
and bear pressure the last hour to
force the price back a cent.
The buh feature during the morn
ing was the tumble in northwest re-
ceipts to one half of those of a year
ago. Northwest. messages claim that
receipts at country points are light
or that rainy conditions may check
threshing and marketing

Tragedy Proves Comedy.

Seattle.-When his fellow workmen
appeared on the scene, William Nc
Nerney, teamster for a dairy company
was lying flat on his back on the
floor of one of the dairy rooms today.
He was unconscious. stretched at full
length, and the horror stricken men
saw that blood was pouring out of his
mouth
Tragedy was in the air. Tenderiy
they picked up the insensible man and
telephoned for the police ambulance
An automobile was hurried from the
station and the man apparently dying
was rushed to the City hispital.
At the hospital he was revived. AS
he came to he thrust a finger into u
corner of his mouth.
IT'S out!" he announced Then re-
vivlng rapidly, he dispelled the mist
that enshrouded the incident. He had
been suffering from toothache ana
had decided to part with the Offend
ing molar by means of an improvised
forceps. The tooth was looser than he
had thought and when he gave it
the farewell jerk he overestimated
the amount of resistance necessary
to brace himself. McNerney went over
backward and his head hit the hard
floor with a thud that rendered him
unconscious. Blood was flowing
from the cavity in a way that made
the whole neighborhood look CORY.

TRIBUNE ON
A EUGENE MAN

The Chicago Tribune of recent date
under the title OF "Pardonable Pro-
family" comments as follows on an
incident which received considerable
airing some time ago in Oregon pa
pers:
John b. Coleman is reputable
citizens Of Eugene, oregon. He has
lived blameless life and has always
been respected by his fellow citizens.
He has been faithful in his domestic
and civic duties, courteous in conduct,
temperate Of speech, and conspicu-
ously philanthropic. Only recently
he gave $4,000 to the Eugene Bible
university, a Protestant theological
institution. He is 60 years Of age
and up to this time has never been
known to display bad temper.
While taking his daily walk abroad
recently an automobile, driven at
high rate of speed, came upon Mr..
Coleman so suddenly, and without
warning, that he was nearly run
down. He barely escaped by quick
dodge, and as the machine disappear
ed in the distance Mr. Coleman,
standing in a cloud Of dust and stink
ing smoke, turned and vented his
wrath upon its occupants in burst
of profanity SO vocferous and elo-
quent that it attracted the attention
of the chief of police, who was stand
ing a block away. Now, there is an
ordinance in the Eugene code pro-
viding penalties for profanity. There
is also an ordinance providing penal
ties for fast automobile driving. The
chief of police evidently made no ef-
fort to enforce the latter. 1t was cas-
ier to catch Mr.. Coleman, standing
dazed and profanely in the wake of
the machine than the machine itself.
So Mr.. Coleman was run in and he
was fined for profanity.
The fine itself Is a matter of no
consequence, for Mr.. Coleman is a
wealthy man, but the question arises
whether the aggravation was not suf-
ficient to justify him in his use OF ex-
pletlves. If there is anything calcu-
lated to rouse the ire of even right
eous man, unlock the secret source
of profanity which abides in the in
ner soul, and provoke saint" 1t is
proximity of an automobile which
gives you no warning. just grazes you
as 1t tears by at twenty or thirty miles
an hour and leaves you blinded with
dust and half smothered in its nox-
ious fumes. The police court clerk
of Eugene entered the fine upon the
books, but the recording angel un-
doubdtedly wiped it off his register
as gladly as he did Uncle Toby's.

FREIGHT AGENT TALKS
OF CUT IN RATES

r. b. Miller of New York, Chicago
G. Portland, general freight agent OF
the O. r. & ~, is in Portland, after
summer spent in the east on gener-
al business Tor the Hartman lines in
Oregon. While Mr.. Mpler's head
quarters are in Portland and his home
is nominally here he has been away
SO much of the time in the past year
that rumors have arisen that his head
quarters would be changed to either
Chicago or New York.
Asked concerning the report that
the o. r. & n. would cut its rates on
grain because of the order of the
Washington state railroad commission
compelling the Northern Pacific to
dc so. Mr.. Miller said that nothing
was decided yet
81 haven't seen a copy of the order
and l understand that the Northern
Pacific has not yet received a copy of
the order ITSELF" he said. 1--WE can't
tell what we will do until we study
the order and find out what the atti-
tude of the Northern Pacific is. 1t
Is possible they may contest ii and
that we will not have to make any
change. Naturally we are going to
protect ourselves and we will meet
the competition of the other roads if
necessary to protect our own busi-
ness. But all that must await further
information on our part"
"The wheat business this year prom
ises to be good l think the outlook
for business on the O. r. & n. is such
that we can be reasonably assured of
a good year. The wheat crop is in,
there is no danger of any loss now
and it will figure to almost an aver-2
age crop. l think 1t is % per cent
greater than that of last year, which
was 40 per cent less than average
crop. Prices are going to be good
but not very high nor very low. The
wheat is Of good average quality. I
can see nothing TO prevent a good but
not reasonable showing"
About the Portiand-Seattle agree
ment with the Northern Pacific Mr.
Miller said he expected it would be
settled almost any time but that un-
til it was nothing could be done about
publishing through freight rates to
Seattle via the Union Pacific and the
O r. & n.
"Our temporary passenger station
there Is ready now" he said, land our
permanent one will be ready in
year. The freight facilities botn
there and at Tacoma are in fairly good
shape and we are prepared to handle
business almost any time. But we
can't so ahead with the final arrange
ments until we settle the contract
and 1t is signed by Judge Lovett and |
Mr.. Hill."--Portland Journal.

Yesterday the men prevailed on the
young woman to pass them a file. At
the risk of her liberty, she complied
and the men had all but sawed their

The men, foiled in their plans, told

The girl was informed that she prob

New York, Sept. 16.-Rosh Has
honah, the Jewish New Year, was cell
ebrated by the 100000 Jews
throughout the country today. In
the Jewish calendar today is Tisri 1 of
the year $3.50, dating from the crea-
ton of the world. The year just
commenced is an embolistic imper-
feet year of 3S3 days. The ordinary
perfect year of the Jews has 355
days.
In this city, the large Jewish pop
ulation observed the day as never
before. More than half the business
houses along Broadway, from Four
teenth street to Chambers were clos
ed and the east side was as tight as
drum.
1t was declared that the day was
never more closely observed than
this year, and particularly so by the
younger generation, which pleased
parents.
One Of the great features during
the services was the blowing of the
shofar, which calls to repentance; its
blasts appealing to the angels to in
tercede with the Almighty for those
who have sinned.
Today's observance marks the be-
ginning of the ten penitential days,
the last of which, Yom Kippur or the
Day of Atonement. comes this year
on Saturday, September 25. In all
the orthodox synagogues Of the city
services will be held each morning
Of these ten days. An all day serv-
ice. with fasting and prayer, Will
mark Yom Kippur.
AS the term implies, the Peniten-
tial season is one in which the good
Jew is given an opportunity under
the teaching of his religion to make
an enumerated confession of his sins,
and pray tn forgiveness Of the Eter-
nal. If during that time he over
looks any sin which he committed in
the year just ended he has an oppor-
tunity on the last, or Day of Atone
ment.
BY fasting and excluding all earth
ly thought, the believer devotes.. his
whole mind to a review of his years
work. and profound contemplation OF
the Eternal. He confesses all the
small mistakes. forgotten, perhaps in
the recollection of graver wrong do
ing. and invokes Divine forgiveness
The service continues all day. II
is very beautiful and characterized by
many symbolic passages. 1t is to the
believer one of the most significant
and important events of the religious
calendar. and is observed generally
by those of the Jewish faith
Next to the Christian New Year,
that Of the Hebrews is the most gen.
orally observed in New York. 1t is
one of the boasts of the city that it
has more Jews than Palestine, and
while a majority of them, perhaps,
have drifted away from the orthodox
faith of their fathers, practically all
ioin in the New Year observance.
other New Years which will be ex-
tens,vely observed in this cosmo-
politan city are those of the Greek and
Russian church, which comes on
January IA next, and the Mohamme-
dan New Year 1928, which falls on
January 13 next.
