MAYOR
Recall Of Taylor Is Now
Demanded by Reform
ers-Labor Backs
Movement.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 7.-
Petitions demanding the recall OF
Mayor Taylor are being prepared
today by the county commission
of the Independence party. The
decision to begin. an active CAM
paign against the mayor was
reached last night at q spirited
meeting of the committee. Hugh
j. McIsaac, chairman of the CEN
tral committee, opposed the move
ment to invoke the recall. He
called attention to the fact that
the labor council. while condemn
ing the city administration, had
decided that an attempt to recall
the mayor at this time would be
futile.
Daniel o'connell. chairman Of
the county committee, led the
fight for the recall. He declared
that the time was ripe for the
movement and that the labor ele.
ment would give 1t united sup.
port. He also promised to pay
the expenses of preparing the pc
titions. s
Alleged incompetency of Mayor
Taylor is the basis OF the recall
movement. ~

HIGH, MARK
IS HI1 BY
WHEAT
Sells Today in Chicago
Pit for $1.25A, the
Best Record Ever
Chronicled.

CHICAGO, April MAY wheat
started soaring at the opening to-
day and Jumped Immediately to
$1.24 and, then by leaps and
bounds went up to $1.25 Ia.
This is 8 "a cents higher than the
high water mark recorded during
the famous Gates corner in 1905.
The sudden advance was caused
by the efforts Of the shorts to
cover.
Makes Big Profit.
1t was followed by a disposition
of the Patten interests to take
profits both. in May and July
wheat and, shortly after the open
ing, Patten began selling. 1t is
believed that he disposed of near
ly 100000. bushels of May wheat
at prices close to the highest fig
ure.
The result Of this heavy profit
taking movement was that May
wheat was hammered down and
in Is minutes after the opening
had dropped back from $1.25 Ia
to $1.22 la.
Session Is Lively.
1t was one of the livest sessions
seen in the pit in many a day.
The rush started from the very
instant of opening and the ex-
citement by no means ceased when
the Patten sales apparently were
stopped after the half million
bushels had been disposed of.
There was an intense feeling of
nervous expectation, the trades
being prepared for almost any
sudden turn, with the prices still
left high above previous records,
even after being hammered down
by the Patten sales.
May wheat closed ct $1.25 ga.
