PHILIPPINE bOLO
 MAN RUNS AMUcK

Manila, April 17.-Lieut. Walter H. Rod ney of the Second United States cavalry, stationed in the Auger barracks in the department of Mindanao was murdered today by a Moro juramentado, crazed with religious passion, who ran amuck thrsting for u blood of a Christian.
 The assassin belongs to the Mohamme- dan sect of Juramentados. who have taken an inviolable oath to shed the blood of the hated Christian. They know nc fear, believing that the performance of what they consider a religious duty if re- sulting in their own death will be reward ed with eternal bliss.
 The fanatic was armed with bolo, and as he tore through the streets those who saw him fled in terror. He encountered Rodney seemingly by chance and struc, him down before the officer could defend himself.
 Lieutenant Rodney was a native of Cali fornia and g years of age.

TOTS ENJOY WHITE
 HOUSE EGG ROLLING

Washington, April 17.-Bright skies and a warm sun brought thousands of chil dren to the White House grounds today for the annual Easter Monday egg rolling. Children of all sorts and all ages from those who just toddle to others with dresses at their shoe top came trooping early into the Presidept's big back yard. Most of them brought baskets filled with eggs of vivid colors.
 The rolling had not long been In prog ress when egg shells strewed the grassy little hills of the White House grounds from top to toe, while crusts of bread and cake. gave evidence that the picnic fea- ture of the day had not been overlooked.
 Of course. a lot of the egg rollers came to see the President and Mrs. Taft, and if they were looking in the right direction at the right time they were satisfied. No grown-ups were admitted unless ac- companied by children. This led to the usual trafficlSing among small boys who hired themselves to strangers seeking ad- mission at the rates of from 5 to % cents.

RECIPROCITY HAS
 A bEAR|SH EFFECT
Latest Figures Show De- cline of Practically
 All Cereals

Chicago, April 17.-Belief that Canadian ton has bearish effect today in the wheat market here. Latest figures showed a net loss of 7s@1c to 1ssc. Other cereals, too, all finished at a decline. Compared with Saturday night, corn was left ss41ae to 1a@Ssc down; oats off 9sq 4c to Ac, and provisions unchanged to 121sc below.
 Increasing confidence in regard to the probable success of reciprocity caused liberal selling of wheat reserves, partic- uarly in the spring crop states. Fine weather all over the country had not a little to do likewise toward bringing about a decided reversal of feeling and action on the part of traders in general. Moreover, it was noticed that the world shipments for the week were about 2,00o,- 100000 bushels more than the estimated total requirements of the importing coun- tries. An additional source of discourage ment to the bulls could be seen in the supplies on ocean passage; 1t was the second largest ever known The greater portion of the consequent break in prices took place the first hour of the session. There was no important recovery, but the market steaded later because of a good-sized falling off in the visible sup- ply. May ranged from S9s4c to 9lssc. and closed 1ssc cheaper at 90c flat
 Heavier offerings from the country pulled down corn. Sympathy with wheat aided the descent. May f1uctuated be- tween 49Ac and 497sc. closing relatively firm at 49ssc, a net loss of 1a@Ssc. Cash grades were slow. No. 2 yellow finished at 5O1ag5O34c.
 Efforts of new longs to unload forced a decline in oats. Demand was unusually poor May varied from 31ss@311ac to 32sc, and closed Ac down at 311ac.
 Frightened shorts were calmed by pack CTS selling provisions. The maNket ruled heavy following an early advance. Latest figures made pork less expensive by 715@121sc; lard easier, a shade to 7Hc, and ribs unchanged to 6c off in cost.
 Future quotations were as follows.

COTTON CONTINUES UPWARD MOVEMENT
Old Crop Positions Make New High Record, Gain
 ing 9-17 Points

New York, April 1.-The upward movement noted just before the Easter holidays was resumd in the cotton mar ket today. The old crop positions made new high records for the current ad- vance and with the close steady at net gain of g to IT points on the spring and summer months, while the new crop, after a relatively quiet and easy day was net one point higher to points lower.
 The opening was barely steady at an advance of points on June. but generally unchanged to 6 points lower and during the early trading active po- sitions sold to ' points net lower un- der scattering liquidation and local bear pressure encouraged by prospects of clearing weather in the south and feeling that the advances of late last week had discounted the bullish week end figures.
 The appearance of one of the lead ing bull brokers in the ring as sell CT on the call encouraged operations for a turn on the short side but the offerings were not heavy and as soon as there was any sign of renewed bull support a covering movement started which soon carried prices over the closing figures of Thursday. Business was not active but there seemed to be very little cotton for sale and In the latter trading a few stop orders were uncovered with May contracts selling at 14S0c and July at 14.7Sc. The close was within 8 point or so of the best. Liverpool will reopen for business tomorrow morning and probably part
 of the buying here in the late trading
 was encouraged by 8 feeling that the cables were likely to come higher in view of the rapidly decreasing visible supply and the active trade in Lan- cashire. Domestic mill accounts show ed no improvement, curtailment re- maining drastic according to all &C., counts, and while the south Is believed 10 need 8 spell of dry warm weather following recent rains most of the pri- yate crop accounts received today spok e favorably of the new crop outlook. This probably accounted for the relatively and easy ruling of new crop positions which seemed under the closing figures of last week. August has had an ad vance of 1 cent a pound in two weeks. Receipts at the ports today, S504 bales against 5012 last week and 14,543 last year.
 For the week 35,O0O bales against 3S,444 last week and S36s last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 1860 bales against 50,2e3 last year and at Houston 2570 bales against 2022 bales last year

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 17.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of to 6 points. The market was dull In the early trading, chiefly as the result of the hol- iday in the Liverpool market Bears were not aggressive, but there was no
 special support and offerings were not well taken care of. The weather map was not especially favorable to either side. Temperatures were rather low and rain was shown in today's where rain is unfavorable to planting. The re- mainder of the belt was dry. At the end of the first half hour of business the list was still to points down.
 The weather forecast, which predicted unsettled weather and rain for nearly all parts of the cotton belt caused some nervousness among shorts, following as 1t did reports of seed rotting in the ground owing to cool and wet weather, ana their buying of covers started the market upward.

LEVEL OF PRICES BARELY DISTURBED Usual Hesitation On Stock Market for Supreme
 Court Decision

New York. April 17.-The level of prices on the stock exchange was barely dis turbed by today's- trading. Liquidation fin a few issues, particularly the fertilizer stocks. was almost the only noticeable movement of the day, and it had no effect on the general market Trading was as prosaic and lfeless after the three-day holiday as 1t was last week, and the amount of business fell close to the low point of the year.
 There was the usual hesitation which has characterized each of the supreme courts decision days" for several weeks, but when word came from Washington that no decisions were to be announced in the antitrust cases, the market did not respond with the burst of activity which has been customary.
 While the financial community was dis posed to view the Mexican situation with the same lack of serious apprehension which has been shown from the beginning, the gravity of, the present situation was undeniably a factor in restraining specu- lation. Stock of the National Mexican railways sold off slightly.
  ing much of the day, but declined sharp ly. The only other Gould security to be similarly affected was Wabash debenture fours, which yielded the same amount.
 Selling of the fertilizer stocks continued steadily during the day and it was said an important bull account, created with the listing of Virginia Carolina Chemical in Paris, was being closed out. The utterances of the United States Steel corporation at the annual meeting did not present the situtaion in g. new light. United States Steel shares closed at nearly the low point of the day.
 Foreign exchange rates continued firm today, making further slight advance from the higher figures at the close of last week.
 The complete foreign trade statement for March which came out during the hol- iday was not of character to encourage bullish sentiment, even though the value of exports broke all records for the month. Imports were the largest on rec ord except last year, and the excess oi exports amounted to only $22,S79,0O0 whereas the March balance in our favor on occasions has exceeded s5OOoo. oOo The statement was disappointing to those who had held expectations of huge port bal ance.
 Advices from the west gave no indica- tions of substantial improvement in trade conditions, although it was said there was moderate improvement in the tonnage movement on some railroads.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, $25.560,000 United States bonds were unchanged.

Tries Gas Route

Chicago, April 17.-Mrs Pearl McPher- son, 25 years old, formerly of Mason City, Iowa, who is defendant in a divorce suit pending here, attempted to kill herself and her 5-year-old daughter today by gas asphyxiation in room at a hotel. The would-be suicide left two letters, asking that she and her child be buried in the same grave.
 Before turning on the gas she sought vainly for reconciliation with her hus- band, from whom she is estranged.
 Mrs. McPherson may not recover, but the little girl had crawled to a window and suffered little from the experience.
