speculation. Does he realize that
speculation down" is far more dis
astrous to our people. than specula-
ton up? The writer has been in
the grain business nearly fifty years;
about half the time as dealer and
half as farmer. He we'll remembers
that some years ago when he raised
large surplus Of wheat and corn
the bears would raid the market
and while they made millions Of mon
ey, they enabled Europe to buy our
surplus far below its normal value.
causing the farmer and the country
generally to suffer far more than any
up speculation could possibly have
done, for all know what the farmer
makes is soon distributed among all
our people.
OF late years the "bear" element
has been eliminated and the country
has been prosperous. If this Cana
dian grain is dumped on our market
the old time "bear" element will
come out of its "hole" and we will
have a repetition Of 45 cent to so
cent wheat; Europe will be benefited
and our farmers bankrupted.

Another Fire at Devils Lake
Arouses suspicion-Big
Loses Sustained

Devils Lake. N. D.. March 24.-The
fact that there have been six fires
in the last eight days. all caused by
kerosene oil explosions, has given
rise to the rumor that there is some-
thing wrong with the city's oil sup
ply. In the fires there has been .
total loss Of $25,O00 and the lives Of
two persons.
This morning the last of the series
of fires took place, building be-

Evidence Government Has

The DEFENSE WILL Be THAT
THE INFORMANT IS INSANE
This Theory Strengthened BY His
Desperate Boldness-Wiu Be Exam.
ined BY University of Rome
Alienist For the Defense.

Viterbo, Italy, March 24.-This
was the day set for the Interrogation
Of Gennaro Abbatemiggio, the Cam
orrist informer, about whose confess
sion the government has built up the
evidence upon which it is hoped to
rid the country of the criminal or
ganization that for years has exacted
tribute from rich and poor, robbing
and numbering with practical Inn
munity. Great crowds gathered
early in the vicinity and the court
room was packed to it's capacity.
The defense, so far Abbatemiggia
is concerned, will be that the man is
insane. The theory is strengthened
by his desperate boldness. Prof. OF
toleenhi, an alienists from the Uni
versity Of Rome, has been retained to
examine the informer.

.. President Taft says Liverpool con-
trolls prices for the world. While
theoretically that is true, practically
it is not During my long expert
ence in the grain trade l have OBJ
served that Liverpool is frequently
Influenced by the American markets
and it is we'll known that a large
part Of the time Minneapolis and
Liverpool prices are practically the
same; yet our mills run night and
day. shipping a large part Of their
output to foreign markets by reason
Of standing orders for flour made
from our choice wheat. enabling the
miller to pay the farmer practically
Liverpool prices.
It is a we'll known fact, in this
grain trade, that little If any of our
choice winter or spring wheat is
shipped to Liverpool without first
passing through the hospital. If the
Canadian wheat Is dumped on our
market, with the aid Of the bears"
the miller and Europe will buy our
wheat at their own figures. Who
will be the sufferers First, the
farmer; when he suffers the whole
country feels It.
If the Canadian treaty becomes a
law. the writer knows q farm Of If
teen thousand acres located in the
Red river valley Of North Dakota, as
good land as lays out of doors. that
can be bought for 60 per cent Of the
price Mr.. Hill, in his address last
fall at the banquet Of the state Uni
versity Of North Dakota at Grand
Forks, named as the value of Red
river land. With Mr.. Hill it is a
business proposition as it will bring
millions of dollars to his railroad in
freights on Canadian grain. but for
every million he receives for freight,
from this source the American farm
er will be injured hundred million.
Mr.. Taft Is hoping that this treaty
will bring him many votes at the
next presidential election, but before
that time the farmers will have real
ized what a curse he has put upon
them and will relegate him to the
scrap pile.

the advice brought by the Commercial

Just how much influence has been
exerted by certain great interests,
cannot say. can swear that the
revolution started within its own bor-
ders OF its own force, for I helped to
start 1t. But it gives food for thought
to know that one Of the big interests
which has millions invested has al
ways been on the friendliest terms
with President Diaz and has receiv-
ed many concessions from him. An
other interest with more money and
an eye on certain great natural re-
source Of the country has been an
tagonized by the former. The inter-
ests OF the latter in a change of ad-
min1stratton seems obvious"
Gen. Carter's order reads as fol-
lows:
Under instructions from the war
department the base for the division
has been established at Fort Sam

Brig. Gen. Jos. w. Duncan, u. 8. A.

Gen. Jos. w. Duncan is very skepti-
cal about another report which ar
hived today to the effect that Ameri-
can soldiers have been fred upon by
Mexican regulars on duty across the
river from Ojinaga. A telegram re-
ceived from a subordinate govern
ment Official today reporting the al
legged occurrence states that the
Americans were compelled to seek
shelter.
Gen. Duncan said that he had re-
ceived nothing ofhcial as to any
shooting and doubted the story. He
said. however. that he had reparted
the matter to the war department and
was conducting an Investigation.

War .Is Possible

san Antonio, Tex, March 24-With
the new demand for six or seven thou
sand recruits. the issuance of an or
der by Gen. Carter making provi-
sions for a sudden move should It be
required and a statement by DR.. G. f.
Caricristi, one of the dominant dg-
ures in the Mexican revolutionary
junta. that the United States would
intervene In Mexico unless there was
a definite show of tranquility by May
], the recently diminished war cloud
looked large today. ..,....
Or Caricristi felt sure enough of
his facts to embody them in a report
to Francisco I. Madero, the revolu-
tionary leader, who at the last re-
port was within thirty miles of the
city Of Chihuahua. DR.. Caricristi
urged the insurrecto chief to achieve
a decisive victory at all costs by May
i for. he wrote, President Taft will
not wait longer than. that for quiet to
be restored, business resumed and
traffic over the railroads to be secure.
The courier departed from here to-
day.
DIR. Caricristi is one Of the direct
ing minds of the revolutionary junta,
is a lawyer, a physician and world
traveller, probably their best trained
diplomaust. The letter is not an
order. for Madero Is IShe superior
and supreme leader, but Is In the ma
ture of report on the meaning of
the mobilization of American troops
at Fort Sam Houston.
Most Of DR.. Caricristi's investigat-
ing was done at Washington, although
he has been on the ground at Ell Paso
and Laredo and is at present in this
city. An inkling Of something un-
usual afoot reached him sometime be-
fore the famous Paris interview with
Jose Yves Limantour, the Mexican
minister Of finance, and he proceeded
at once to Washington. In an in
terview today he said:
"Of course complete federal tri-
umph in Chihuahua, the restoration
of communications and other busi-
ness, likewise, would avoid interven-
tion. But do know absolutely that
President Taft is determined that or
der shall be restored and that quick
ly, by one side or the other In Mexi-
CO, with the alternative Of interven-
ton.
"In my report to senor Madero I
point out the necessity of capturing
and holding the state Of Chihuahua.
II this can be accomplished am con-
vinced the revolutionists will be
recognized as belligerents by the
United States and other governments.
II have reason to believe that May
i is the date set for the termination
of President Taft's patience with the
disorder south Of the Rio Grande.
Neither side wants Intervention and
firmly believe that tho federals. and
fevolutionists would make common
cause against an invader.
"The financial interests of the Unit
ed States in Mexico is immense and
with that of Europe is greater In a
money sense than that Of Mexico.
Recently I compiled statistics which
show that there is billion dollars
of American money in that country
and that the interest Of Europe Is
about half that sum-.
1T is q fact that seventy-five per
cent of the credit in Mexico is in the
hands of Americans and Europeans.

The writer has been anxiously
seeking to discover some enterprise
or individual outside of the manufac-
turer that will be benefited by the
Canadian reciprocity. President Taft
says 1t will great reduce the cost Of
living. Let us analyze to what ex-
tent the cost Of living will be reduc-
ed. The estimated per capita con-
sumption of wheat is five bushels
per annum. If reciprocity reduces
the price Of wheat twenty cents per
bushel 1t makes a per capita saving
In the cost of living, Of only one dol
lar per annum and at the same time

the farmer is not prosperous the

after robbing the mail and baggage
cars, escaped. The loss is said to
be $4,000.
The train reached Lenapah, Okla,
just south of this city at 10:30 last
night, half an hour late. Just after
the train left Lenapah, Engineer
Lynch heard a sharp cry, "hands up. !"
Turning he saw a masked man sitting
on the tender pointing revolver at
him. I'm going to ride little ways
with you," said the man. "Drive on. "
The engineer did as ordered. About
four miles out Of Lenapah, the man
forced the engineer to stop the train.
Five masked men came out of clump
Of trees and began shooting in the
air along the side Of the train. While
two stood guard to prevent the pas
sengers from leaving, the other four
marched the engineer and fireman to
the day coach and locked them In. One
man then took position to guard the
roar of the train and the three went
into the express car and forced the
two express men to jump out and
stand where the guard could keep
them covered with revolvers. After
nearly an hours work they blew the
safe door to pieces and scattered its
contents over the floor of the car.
Finally two automobiles came from
the direction of the Oklahoma line
into which the robbers leaped and
rode away. The passengers were not
molested.
