WHEAT UP TWO CENTS.
A Buying Stampede Makes Its APP
pearance on Change.

Chicago, May 2S.-A buying stam-
pede in the wheat crowd on change
today resulted in putting up the price
of the May delivery more than two
cents bushel. Although the bulk of
business was in other options, the ad-
vance in them was much less. The
rush started because of continued pur
chases in the face of bearish news.
Popular opinion finally decided that
the buying was for a famous specu-
lator who has not recently been
prominent in the pit. Startled shorts
tried to cover and found a decided
scarcity of sellers. May offerings were
scant. 1t was not until that month
had been run up two cents that sup
plies were forthcoming.

height the president of leading con-

COUNCIL OF EMPIRE.
British Cabinet in Conference With
Fifteen Colonial Premiers.

London, May 23.-The imperial con-
ference which has now practically as
sumed the functions of grand coun-
ell of the British empire, opened the
third series of its quadrennial deliber-
ations today under the Craftsmanship
of Premier Asquith at the foreign
office.
Besides the members of the imperial
cabinet fifteen premiers and ministers
from the over-the-sea dominions of
the empire discussed such knotty prob
lens as the coordination of the
navies and land forces for imperial de-
fense; the declaration of London; an
imperial court of appeal; an "all red"
transportation line to encircle the
globe and a future constitution of the
British empire. The hope is expressed
that out of the discussion of the last
topic may come some definite proposal
for the federation of the empire. The
relationship is likely
to be discussed in connection with the
question of imperial defense, as also is
the part which the Australasian navies
are to play in that defense as Austria
liza since the visit of the American
feet to that continent three years ago
has come to regard America as pos
sible ally in the policing of the Pacific.
The fiscal question probably will
take a back seat in the discussion in
view of the determination of the Lib
eraI movem ent to keep the door bo1ted
against anything in the nature of i'm
perial preference.
The meetings of the conference are
held in strict privacy, so the public will
have to be satisfied with the meagre
stereotyped official fragments of the
proceedings given out at the end Of
the days work.

Atlantic City, May 23.-While inter-

says:
when all allowances are made for
false and garbled statements, deliber

the fact remains that there is an
alarming increase in the use of alco-

'"The bright spots of the year are the
election of reform governor in Tennes-

Government Is Surprised by Attorney
for the Standard.

Rochester, May 23.-The trial of
the Standard Oil company on an in
dictment charging acceptance of re-
bates on oil shipments from Olean,
N. Y, to Burlington, VT, was resumed
before Judge Hazel in United States
district court today. The special plea
made yesterday by Daniel ]. Kene-
flick in support of his motion to quash
the Indictment was something of a
surprise to the attorneys for the gov
ernment and at that time court ad-
journed to enable the attorneys to get
together on the subject If possible.
Judge Kenefick's plea was that the
Standard Oil company had been con-
victed of the crimes charged in the in
dictment and had paid a fine follow
ing conviction and that. tits unlawful
and unconstitutional to punish a man
or corporation a second time for the

ONLY THING TO DO.
John Norris Urges Adoption of Paper
Clause IN Reciprocity Measure.

Washington, May 23.-Only by the
adoption of the paper clause of the reci-
procity agreement with Canada can
cheaper paper and the retention of the
print paper industry in the United
States be secured according to John
Norris, representing the American
Newspaper Publishers association, who
appeared before the senate finance COM
mittee today. 1.-The Canadian provinces
which control the raw material of pa

American paper makers, whose do
mestic supplies are nearly exhausted.
I'm 1901 the American paper makers
had a chance to consummate an agree
ment with Canada whereby the supply
of wood from the province of Quebec
would be continued indefinitely but the
American senate, at the instigation of
former Senator Hale and of the ex-
treme standpatters among the paper
makers, upset that arrangement and
undertook to bulldoze the Canadian
provinces so that it could force them
by the imposition of retaliatory duties
to let their pulp wood into the United
States without restriction. Instead of
composing the situation they provoked
an ugly complication to which the pa
per clause of the reciprocity treaty Of
fers the only immediate and promising
solution"
American paper makers, said Mr..
Norris, own 1900 square miles of tim
Der rights on the crown lands of Que
bee from which they cannot now ship
wood pulp because of the prohibition of
May 1, 1910. Mr.. Norris referred to
Clifford Pinchot's estimate three years
ago of the available supply of wood
pulp timber in the United States which
would last as follows: New York state
eight and one-half years; Pennsylvania.
nine years: Minnesota, nine years; Yer
mont, IL years; New Hampshire, rs
years. and Maine 281z years.
Concluding, Mr.. Norris said that

comes from abroad. 1.-THE paper indus

in retaliatory duty because there was
an inadequate supply of free wood in
Canada available for the needs of this
market

DUVEENS PLEAD GUILTY.
Sentence Is Postponed Until Tomorrow
and Plea Is Withdrawn.

New York, May 23.-Henry ]. and
Benjamin ]. Duveen, the international
art dealers, appeared today in the
United States district court and plead
ed guilty to an indictment charging
them with undervaluation of imports.
The district attorney asked for a jail
term but the court postponed sentence
until tomorrow. The plea of guilty was
Withdrawn until that time, and bail
was continued in the amount now
standing.
Joseph J. and Louis J. DuVeen,
brothers and also members of the firm,
pleaded guilty to a similar Indictment
last March and were fined $4,000.
The firm has already made cash set

BARGES ON MISSISSIPPI.
A Fifteen Day Service Between Cairo
and New Orleans.

New Orleans, May 23.-Another
step in reviving traffic on the Missis-
sippi river will be taken next week
by the Inauguration of a fifteen day
service between Cairo, St Louis,
Memphis and New Orleans with a
fleet of modern steel barges.
The first barge will reach New
Orleans next Sunday and will return
north with a cargo of sugar, molasses,
rice and canned goods. The barge
rates are so much less than railroad
rates that the prom believe more
tonnage will be offered than can be
readily cared for. A weekly service
will be inaugurated as soon as other
barges are added.

bands subscription of 500 to the White
Elephant fund, but he also censures the
husband for his parsimony and points
to the fact that he gave his wife but
$50 in the 10 months they were mar
ried. This was offset somewhat, the
court thought, by Cooper extending his
wife credit at the stores before he lett
for Texas. Judge Whitcomb also
thought Mrs. Cooper erred when She
took advantage of her husbands alb
sence to bring suit for divorce and that
it was not proper etiquet for the wo-
man to break the reconciliation in her
husbands absence.
Since the case has been under con-
sideration, Cooper's attorneys have en-
deavored to find way whereby the
defendants property would not be tied
up under an order of the court. This
plan could not be effected, however.
and some $4,000 of Cooper's estate will
continue under the authority of the
court.
Mrs. Cooper Satisfied.
Mrs. Cooper expressed satisfaction
this afternoon when told by a State

washington, D. c., May 23--1t is
conceded that President Taft will
doubtless be the Republican presiden-
tial nominee. 1t is also conceded that
James Schoolcraft Sherman will not be
his running mate. Political wiseacres
are looking over the field in an at
tempt to guess at the next vice presi-
Dental nominee. Among the men who
are close to President Taft it is be-
lieved that an insurgent will be given
the preference a concession to this
wing of the party. Among those sug-
gested are Senator Cummins of Iowa,
Governor Deneen of Illinois, Governor
Hadley of Missouri.
