GALENA DOES HONOR TO GRANT.
Robert G. Cousins, Iowa Orator at
Seventeenth Annual Birthday
Celebration.

Galena, Ill, April 2s-For the sew
enteenth consecutive year the citizens
of Galena yesterday celebrated with
appropriate exercises the birthday Of
General Ulysses s. Grant. While the
number of visitors from abroad was
not as large as In years past, there
were several hundred from distance,
many coming from Chicago, Rockford,
Freeport, Dubuque and other cities.
The exercises were held in Turner
hall on account of the weather The
orator Of the day was former Con
gressman Robert G.. Cousins of Iowa
7. ]. Sheehan, president of the Grant
Birthday association, presided. Mr..
Cousins said in part:
''The cause of liberty is the cause
Of humanity. In that cause no great.

Success usually depends upon two
conditions, ability and circumstances
Grant had an ability that civil life did
not seem to waken.
Not even long enough to court the
smiles of fame did he dwell upon his
victories. He did not t.-ke the sword
of Lee, he took his hand. Such was
the character of Grant in the greatest
test Of human weakness, vanity's
temptation. He bore away no trophy
of the war save sorrow, and his only
exaltation was the salvation of the
union and larger liberty for men"

HAMS TRIAL.
is BEGUN IN
EARNEST TODAY
JURY COMPLETED LATE YEsTER.
DAY AFTERNOON AND PROSE
cuTIoN OUTLINES CASE THIS
MORNING.; HEAR ONE WITNESS.

Flushing, April 2s-The opening ad-
dress of the prosecution in the trial of
Capt Peter G. Hams Jr. charged
with the murder of VIM. E. Annis was
made today by Geo. A. Gregg formerly
district attorney of Queens county.
Gregg referred to the shooting of An
mis- as a deliberate, brutal murder.
At the conclusion of Greggs ad-
dress the first witness was called,
Herbert Funke. He testified he saw
Captain Haines standing on the float
with his rams folded and when the An
mis- boat came up the captain exclaim-
ed "Annis, Annfs," drew a revolver
and shot Annis as he was stepping to
the float.
Married Men on the Jury.
The jury was finally completed
yesterday afternoon. 1t took just sew.
en- days to select the twelve men
and in that time 45O talesmen were
called and examined. The state will
present its case, beginning today and
from this time on the case will move
expeditiously.
All of the jurymen are married with
the exception of Otto ]. Nicholas, who
is 27 years of age and the youngest
man in the jury box. Speaking of the
personnel of the jury one of the de
fendant's counsel said 1t was a "patch
work of varying personalities and tenn
peraments." The defense has fought
all along for married men and per
emptorily challenged the few bachel
ors who have qualified.
Captain Hains has taken no part ir
selecting the twelve men who will de
| eide his fate, but has remained silent
throughout the proceedings. His law
yers contend that he is insane now
as he was In their opinion, for montht
before he killed Annis.

DENIES STORY
DECLARES SHE DID NOT ASK
HUSBAND TO CLOSE OUT
WHEAT DEAL.

Chicago, April 28.-zMrs. James "A.
Patten, wife of the Chicago board ol
trade man. who is said to have hat
practically corner on wheat, denied
yesterday that she was responsible fo1
the speculator closing out his holdings
in the cereal.
Mrs. Patten says she does not be-
lieve that there were any irregular
tiles in her husbands attempt to bull
the grain market and that he tricked
no one when he began his campaign
which forced the price of wheat tc
above s1.25. Experts declared, how
ever. Patten could have forced the
price of wheat to $1.50 had he so de-
sired.
Broken Needs Rest, Says Wife.
A story was circulated on La Sale
street as well as in New York thai
Patten closed out his holdings because
his wife desired him to do So Botf
Patten and his wife are interested ir
church work. and when the woman, II
is said, read in the newspapers about
the increase in the price of bread ant
that her husband was blamed for this
condition, she persuaded him to close
out his speculations In wheat.
Mrs Patten says her husband lef
Chicago, not because she induced hin
to allow the break In wheat, but sim.
ply to take a. much needed rest on his
! business associates ranch in New
Mexico.
No Word Comes From Patten.
No word has been received in Chicago
| from Patten by his partners, and thi
led to the rumor that the wheat king
had quit the game for good and wa!
| broken-hearted as result Of the crit
| icism which followed his recent spec.
ulation in breadstuffs.
