BLAMES PARIS WEATHER
VAGARIES ON THE COMET.
Has Rained Every Day for Month
at French Capital.

PARIS, May 1.-THE most ~extraordi-
nary weather, perhaps, in its history
has visited the French capital in the
last few days.
1t would be hard to find a date Ill
the last thirty days on which it has not
rained. Sunday last there was all kinds
of weather in a dozen hours, from
genial sunshine to a heavy ~downpour,
and the temperature was equally
ohangeable. About midday there was a
tremendous fall of large hailstones last
ing half an hour, and once since then
this experience has been repeated,
though in a milder form.
A large part of the population at
tribute the vagaries of the weather to
nearness of the comet. n leading as
tronomers themselves admit that this
theory has nothing improbable in it.

DISCOURAGED LONGS
POUR OUT HOLDINGS
Further Slump in Wheat on Chi
CagO Board Of Trade.

Chicago, May 2S.-Following the
previous days sensational declines in
September and May wheat the market
was again violent and registered fur
ther declines during the first hour and
a half of trading. The pit fairly
seethed. Prices of the same option
varied simultaneously in different
parts of the pit by a cent in Septem-
ber and cent and half in May.
May wheat, closing at $1.05 to ST.
05A, fell to S103 as discouraged longs
of lesser magnitude unloaded and
pocketed their losses July and Sep
tember were sold in immense quan-
titles, to a large extent by foreigners.
September, closing at SO cents,
dropped to 91% cents, loss since
Wednesday of So cents. July sold at
935s cents, as compared with 95A
cents at the previous days close, a
loss of 57s cents in two days.
The bulls have been whipped by old
Mother Nature, as the traders put it.
Bulls loaded up with wheat early in
the season, when prospects as viewed
by them looked dubious for an ade-
quate world crop. But in the United
States the rains descended and the
sun shone to such purpose that the
gloom was lifted from apparently
blighted prospects. Europe predicted
unusual crops and even far away In

hands of the attorneys general in ses.
sion at the state capitol When the
champions of the law finished grilling
the railroads, the Standard Oil trust
and a few other allied interests they
turned their attention to state legis
latures and told what those august
bodies might have done but didn't. II
is likely that resolutions they are
drafting will recite some interesting
facts to lawmakers.
The feature of the meeting was the
address on the federal railroad bill OF
Charles West, attorney general OF
Oklahoma. He made a terrific attack

LEDBETER CASES DROPPED
No Further Prosecution of Woman Ac.
cused of Murder,

Mankato, Mimi, May 2S.-The in
dictment against Mrs Grace Ledbeter
and William Schwandt and his wife,
Goldie Schwandt. are to be dismissed
in the district court when the June
term opens on June g.
This was decided upon by the coun-
ty board after consulting with County
Attorney Plymat and Special Assistant
County Attorney H. l.. Schmitt. The
two latter advised the board that the
decision of the supreme court in Mrs.
Ledbeters cases makes it impossible
to proceed against her further under
the indictment charging murder in the
second degree and that there is lack
of evidence against her to secure a
conviction on the charge of being an
accessory after the fact
They also advised that 1t would be
useless to try to convict Mr.. and Mrs.
Schwandt on the indictment charging
them with being accessories after the
fact, under the circumstances.

SENDS LETTER TO TAWNEY

Tells Chairman ,priations Cor,
mittee That ..a,u. of Discussion
on Bill Providing Travelling Ex.
penses Most Distressing to Him Was
the intimation That RE Was Not
Well Treated by southerners.
Washington, May 2S.-President
Taft has sent to Chairman James A.
Tawney of the house committee on
appropriations letter expressing
deep resentment at the criticisms
passed by Democrats in the house de-
bate upon the travelling expenses of
the president
The president says he is especially
distressed by suggested reflection on
Southern hospitality" The executives
letter follows:
Il am deeply grieved over the phase
which the discussion of the appropria-
tion for the travelling expenses for the
president took in the house. l think
1t is a legitimate argument in favor
OF such an appropriation that con-
gressmen and many others press the
acceptance of invitations to visit their
sections and districts, because the ur-
gency of such requests indicates the
opinion on the part of the people that
one of the duties of the president is
to visit the people in their homes.
Most Painful intimation.
"But the intimation or suggestion
that the acceptance by congressman of
the presidents invitation to travel on
the train with him in their respective
districts or states was a reason why
they should not voice their free opin-
ion is to me most painful one. In
travelling upon the train they were not
receiving my hospitality-they were
only making little more elaborate
the cordial welcome which they, as
representatives of their districts,
wished to give.
"The feature of the discussion which
was especially distressing to me was
suggested reflection on Southern
hospitality The intimation that some
where in the South board was charged
has no foundation in fact and l never
heard it intimated until / saw it in
the papers.
"In all my experience, and / have
enjoyed the hospitality of many Sec
tions and countries of the world,
never had a more cordial, generous,
open and lavish welcome than had in
the Southern states during my trip
and the slightest hint that puts me in
the attitude of critic of that hospital
ity gives me great pain.
81 am going to take the liberty Of
making this letter to you public"
