DETROIT. Oct. 27.-Close All the
bull news that was turned loose a
few days fails to convince the trade
wheat is at hand. Thursdays dope
was bearish. although Liverpool made
a small advance and closed higher
steady tone here. rather than by the
easy South American markets. Crop
news from Argentina was quite bear
ish. Weather there is all right and
wheat Is coming on favorabiy.
Aside from little increase In flour
demand In the northwest and the con-
sequent buying of wheat. there Is
nothing much on which to buy wheat
Spring wheat deliveries are not show
ing the expected decrease and stocks
continue TO increase. The mills out
side OF the spring wheat territory are
not doing much. and foreign buying
appears TO be as far away as ever.
Spectators buy only TO cover shorts
The new crop Is not doing well In Tex
as according TO late wire. Seed sown
has not properly germated and there Is
great need OF moisture.
After a few narrow fluctuations the
wheat market closed unchanged Corn
was unchanged. oats lost u and Glow

heat campaign thunder We have had
yet" said Chairman Shields, OF the
Democratic state central committee,
Thursday morning. 1T looks very
much TO us like a confession of weak
meas on the part OF the Republicans.
The fact that they tried to get Roose-
welt 10 come here would seem TO In
dictate that they are very hard press
ed, for Roosevelt Is helping only
those states that need help the most.
They want him In Ohio and Indiana
and Iowa, and now Michigan Is beg
gihg him TO come here.
William b. Thompson spoke
Thursday noon at the plant OF the
Brush Runabout Co., in Highland
Park, while Proctor X. Owens ad-
dressed the employees OF the Ford
Motor Co., close by.
Both the Republican and Demo
cratic state central committees have
taken no additional help, in prepare
ton for the final squirt next week,
when the political pot Is expected TO
boil over. Frank Knox and Edward
Shields. the respective chairman, are
head over heels In work and both
seem determined 10 put forth their
last ounce of effort In the battle for
votes. One OF them must lose, but
the defeated one will at least have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
did his best.
BY next week. IL is expected, the
state central committee
will have no less than $4,000 organiz-
ed workers plugging for the success
OF the ticket in Michigan. Chairman
Knoxs organization plan calls for
man in every block In every city OF
the state and for five workers in each
school district. Up TO Thursday noon.
5000 township chair
men, appointed by the various county
chairmen. had reported for duty by
letter. These 5000 will. in turn, APP
point a man for each school district
In their respective townships, and
each of the school district workers
will be asked TO name Ave assistants.

HUNDREDS KILLED IN
BLOODY fight Between
TURKS and ALBANlANS
FIGHTING LASTED FOR
TWO DAYS WITHOUT
CESSATION.
Rebels Now Threaten to
Overthrow Regime of
Young Turks. !

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 7.-Sev-
eral hundred men were killed and
wounded in a desperate two-day battle
near Riverslab between the Turkish
troops and the Albanian rebels, ac-
cording to advices reaching here to-
day The bloody conflict started April
4, and continued without cessation un-
till the night of the fifth before the
rebels were defeated.
The Albanians threaten to overthrow
the young Turks regime. At last ac-
counts the Albanians were awaiting
reinforcements before renewing the
attack.
Several times the mountaineers
charged the Turks and much of the
fighting was hand to hand. The Alba
mans lost the most in killed. Both
sides took a large number of prisoners.

Dads Steal Jobs
Of Office Bows

Office boys of this city had better
be on to their job a little more or per-
hans their father will do them out of
it According to the latest news about
town an employment bureau has
placed with a well-known firm Of this
CITY a list of men ranging from so to
so years OF age, who are only to glad
to do the work of the Office boy.
The cause of this is not with the
bows themselves but for the lack of
them. The young men are beginning
to get wise to the fact that a good
schooling is one of the most important
things in the business world, and are
taking advantage of the liberal oppor-
tunity for education in Walla Walia to
be had free of charge.
Jobs for Office boys this year have
exceeded the number of applicants and
so men who find it difficult to get work
in their own business have taken the
Job as a meal ticket.

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD, April
7-F'ol1owing a series of fatal ex-
plosions in the engine rooms of war
ships of the Pacific fleet, orders were
issued today to put on a force of 1000
workmen to overhaul the engine and
fire room equipment of the cruisers
Maryland, California and West Vir-
ginia. The repairs will cost more than
100000
The latest explosion, that of three
boiler tubes on the cruiser Maryland,
resulted in the death of Coal Passer
ANDERSON and the injury of two otner
coal passers The Maryland arrived
off Tibouron coaling station this morn
ing and the officers refused to discuss
the accident.
Continued explosions aboard the ves-
sells is regarded here as a result of the
conflict between the officers of the en-
gineering force and those of the line.
The officers and men on the Maryland
recently protested against the cruiser
going to sea with weakened tubes
The explosion occurred while the
Maryland was proceeding up the coast
from Santa Barbara. 1t is probable
an official investigation of the explos-
ion will be ordered.
