FORECAST OF SMALLER WORLD
SHIPMENTS HAS BULLlsH Eff.
Feet At CHICAGO TODAY.

Chicago, Dec. PA forecast OF
smaller world shipments other than
from America had bullisn effect to-
day on the price Of wheat. Sentiment IN
favor of an upturn received impetus
because of lack of pressure to sell Of
ferings from Argentine. AS q matter OF
fact, sellers of cash wheat in the Chi
cago pit were hard to find. The open
ing was unchanged to ~ higher. May
started at 9SH to 98ts, gain OF
shade to h@Ac and rose to 9SAc.
Worry about carrying property
through the three holidays apparently
led to a reaction. The close, however.
was steady with May shade net
lower at 9SAc.
Commission houses were generally
on the buying side Of the corn market.
The smallness of receipts formed the
chief incentive. May opened unchanged
to a sixteenth up at GAN @64A to 64N
and advanced to 644zc. -
Subsequently profit taking by shorts
made the market weak. The close,
though, was steady at GAN for May. a
loss Of h@Ac net. 49,. r..
Despite talk of possible imports from
Argentine, oats developed strength.
May started at ATM to AN @47b and
reached 47Bc. @ :.
Provisions rose with hogs. Demand
was in excess Of the supply. First sales
were unchanged to TIC higher with

BLOOD HOUNDS
AT Ter ROBBERS
POLICE SECURE DOGS FROM
AGENCY; FROZEN TRACKS
WERE BATTLING

Unable to keep the trail because OF
the frozen ground the two blood
hounds belonging to Constable A. M
Cowger and w. H. Rodenbaugh OF
Agency were baffled in their attempt
to follow the burglar who has been
operating in Ottumwa for several
weeks past, when placed on the scent
this morning about o'clock. They fol-
lowed the trail for time, but soon
lost it because OF the freezing cOndi.
ton Of the ground. Mr.. CoWger stated
that the scent was frozen with each
step of the robber, making It impos.
sible 70 rthe dogs to keep it because
of its faintness. Four houses were en-
tered by. the robber last night. Patrol
man Charles Peterson gave chase to
the robber just before the hounds ar
rived from Agency, but the thief sue
ceeded in escaping.
Thomas Keefe, 425 East Fourth
street, telephoned the police station
about o'clock this morning that rob
bers had been In his house. Night
Sergeant Riggles Immediately turned
on the red light signal to call one OF
the night officers. The efficiency Ut
this signal was demonstrated when
Officer Peterson arrived at the sta
ton in answer a few minutes later.
He was Immediately dispatched to the
Keefe home. Night Captain Mier
called Chief of Police Beeman and the
Agency blood hounds were sent tor
without delay. BY o'clock Constable
Cowger and Mr.. Rodebaugh arrived.
Peterson Gave Chase.
Peterson remained hidden behind a
tree near the Keefe residence in the
hope that the robber would again show
fimslf in the neighborhood. Just be-
fore the bloodhounds arrived he
stepped from behind the tree to move
about and warm up. As he did so the
robber issued from between the
Keefe home and the house adjoining
They saw each other about the same
time and the robber fastened back
between the houses with Peterson
after him. They met again but not
closely, in the alley. The robber then
made good his escape. outdistancing
the officer He was at no time IN
shooting distance of Peterson. The
blood hounds arrived few moments
later and, the trail was at once taken
up, but the dog could follow, but a
short distance. A report coming to the
police that a man was seen running
down Iowa avenue sent the hounds
I1urrying to that place but they could
not follow. =.
Entered Four Houses.
At the Keefe home, the robber Sc
cured child's bank with about $3.50.
Entrance was gained through win
dow. g..
Three other houses were entered,
those of Walter McNett, 437 North
Market street, w. A. Starkey.A Az
North Market, and G. v. Darrell, 1017
blackberry. street. ,aG $50 ~.
A fur cap was taken at the McNett
home with a quantity Of fruits and
jellies. The cap was, found in the
pantry of the Darrell residence this
morning. The robber succeeded in get
ting into the pantry of the latter place
only. as Mrs. Darrell had locked the
pantry door against his visit last
night. He entered by prying open a
window. 49,
Mr.. and Mrs. Starkey are out of the
city at present and it is not known
whether the thief secured anything OF
value. Windows were the means OF
entrance at the four houses.

ST. LOUIS MAN INSISTS ON AN
APOLOGY FROM OWNER OF
| CHICAGO CUBS.

st. Louis, No., Dec. 22.-Roger
Bresnahan wants c.. Webb Murphy,
president of the Cubs, to apologize to
him. The Cardinal manager has gone
50 far as to prefer charges against
Murphy before the national commits
sion. He asks public apology.
This is what it Is all about: Murphy
and Bresnahan met in the. Waldorf
Astoria during the big league meet
,ings in New York. BresnahRn had re-
fused to waive on Vic Safer, who Muir
ply wanted to send to Montreal In
exchange for Chick Gandil, formerly OF
the White Sox. Murphy accused Bres'
nahan OF refusing to waive because he
was trying to get Safer for Joe Kelly g
club at Toronto. Bresnahan insisted
he wanted Safer for the Cards, saying
the Cub was too good to let out of the
league.
The controversy ended with some
heated words in which Murphy is said
to have called Bresnahan q liar and
also to have threatened to drive him
out of the National league because he
had something on him. 10
Bresnahan said he had asked the
commission to force Murphy to pro-
duce what he had ION him" and furth-
er averred that Murphy would apol-
ogize or one of them would get out
of the league. Roger in his anger
went so far IS to say that Murphy
was a "windbag and detriment to
baseball unless muzzled." @!-
a7- Charges on File.
Cincinnati, O., Dec. 22-August
Hermann, chairman of the national
commission, said yesterday Roger
Bresnahan had filed written charges
with him Tuesday against Charles w.
Murphy. Hermann said he had
taken no action beyond sending copies
Of the charges to Ban Johnson and
Thomas J. Lynch. The commission
meets here January 3. r.
