MAY WHEAT STILL.
SCARS UPWARD
WITHIN HALF A CENT OF THE
PRICE PREDICTED BY MAR
KET MANIPULAToRS.

CHICAGO, March 3.-New high
records for the season were estab-
lished by wheat, corn and oats on the
Board Of Trade today May wheat,
the supply Of which is concentrated
in the hands of a prominent trader,
led the advance, by touching $l.19i,
which is within half cent Of the
price predicted by the speculator
mentioned some months ago and
only two cents under the highest
price Of the Gates campaign four
years ago. July wheat sold at $l.07,
and the advance in the latter delivery
was based on damage reports from
the principal Winter wheat states, ex-
pert gossip having it that July would
prove to be an "old crop month,
that is month in which delivery on
contracts would have to be made
from the previous harvest. The rec
ord-breaking rise in corn and oats
was due to sympathy with wheat.
May corn sold at 81 3-4 and May oats
at 56i.

Both Houses Of Congress Final
" EnaCts |. into Law
TJday
VERY LITTLE CHANGE MADE
Commission Was Originally Ap-
pointed Eleven Years Ago and Has
Just Finished Labors - Beveridge
Eulogizes President in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
The new penal code enacted into law
today through the adoption by both
Houses of Congress on conference
report on the bill drafted by a joint
commission originally appointed in
1897 and reappointed at the close of
the 59th Congress, The bill is COM
prehensive and coherent, revision and
compilation OF practically all the
purely penal laws.
For several days there has been
filibustering in the Senate against
the section relating to use Of troops
at places where general or special
elections are held Finally the con-
ferees struck out the provision relat-
ing TO keeping Of the peace at the
polls because it was recognized that
the federal troops are not now &ed
for that purpose.
Conferees also dropped all refer
ence to the statute Of 1875 which for
bids discrimination on account Of race
or color in selection OF grand or petit
Jurors but left the law as it was orig
inally enacted. The commission found
it difficult to make uniform laws that
would operate in all states among
these being the prohibitory liquor
laws.
1t was found this class Of cases can
only be covered by general statute
Practically the only new legislation is
to punish "leaks" of government sta
tistical information and regulation oi
interstate shipments of Intoxicating
liquors. In order that any serious
error might be corrected the bill is
not effective until January /, 1910. A
joint resolution was adopted.
Declaring the adoption of the
Bailey resolution would be construed
as rebuke to the President, Senator
Doliiver said he hoped that never
again would the floors of Congress be
used as an arena for the disparage.
ment Of the motives of the CHIEF
executive,
Beveridge eulogized Roosevelt al
length and closed the statement by
saying that Roosevelt had wrought
nightly and for the permanent vel
fare Of all the people regardless Of
creed'o color.
Bailey replied in one sentence
while it is true that the world has
forgotten the names of the villiher:
of Washington and Jackson, it is also
true it has forgotten some of those
who have delivered fullsome eulogies

BIG DOCK COLLAPSES
IN Willamette
BIG LOSS OF LIFE NARROW
LY AvERTED WHEN THE
CRASH CAME.

PORTLAND, March 3.-Under-
mined by water from a basin formed
behind the concrete sea wall, erected
about nine months ago, the Star
Sand company's dock at Fifteenth
and Front streets collapsed this
morning under the weight of 5000
tons OF gravel and sand. The struc-
ture came down with a deafening
crash and was completely wrecked
The loss. estimated at $4,000, will
fall entirely on the owners.
II was lucky that the accident oc-
CURED when it did, for an hour later
would have meant the death Of at
least 20 men and that many teams.
The night watchman on the dock,
who had narrow escape, said the
structure caved in at exactly $50
O'Clock, or about an hour before the
men and teams were due to arrive for
work. The loading of the wagons IS
done on a roadway underneath the
dock and there are usually from Is
to 20 teams lined up there all the
time, All told, 60 teams and drivers
are employed and about one-third Of
them are at the dock at time.
The company's towboat Star, Cap
tain Joseph Wolff, arrived at the
dock with a barge load of gravel at 4
o'clock this morning and some of the
crew were on the dock making fast
lines a few minutes before it began
to creak and groan under its heavy
burden. Realizing that it would col
lapse they hurriedly cut the lines and
steamed out into the stream, towing
the barge and a pile driver and donk-
ey engine that had also been moored
at the dock, Half an hour later the
fall of the dock came II
Manager c. Minsinger says very
little of the gravel was precipitated
into the river and that most of it can
be saved, He admits terrible loss
of life would have occurred had the
structure fallen in an hour later. The
dock will be rebuilt as soon as the
debris can be cleared away.
"The entire dock was rebuilt about
nine months ago" said Mr.. Minsing.
