CHICAGO. June 9.-Heat damage re-
ports and other bullish news today
quickly supplanted as wheat market
crop situation. After q selling rush.
during which offerings were absorbed
in almost greedy fashion. the price re-
bounded, and the early loss was more
than wiped out One reason was that
the crop totals which the government
furnished were based upon a new meth
od of figuring and could not be salts
factorily compared with those of previous
years The heat damage dispatches came
chiefly from Kansas. where the tempera-
ture was said to have gone higher than
in any June for over a quarter Of a
century In addition world shipments
were said to promise less than had been
expected The opening was " to 1aaes
down. July started at 9Oh to 91h. a de-
cline Of AaH to 11ah. and then rose to
91A.
The bullish outlook regarding hay put
the corn market on the up grade. Hot
weather complaints from the southwest
acted also as help. July opened Il of
to u higher at a43 to SAX. and advanced
to 55s.
Offerings Of oats were less than the

have been cut down since the government
information was gathered. July started

YASSAR COLLEGE
TODAY OBSERVING
GOLDEN JUBILEE
Famous Institution for Wom-
en- Is Fifty Years Old.
Its Growth.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, April 2s.-
This Is jubilee day at Vassar College
and the ceremonies were commemora-
tive of the founding of the institution
and the work 1t has accomplished DUR
ing the fifty years of its existence. The
chief feature of the celebration was
reproduction of the first founders day
exercises, the students impersonating
Matthew Vassar, the founder, and
others who were intimately connected
with the institution in its earliest days.
The exercises were witnessed by
alumnae and a large number of dis
tinguished guests from all parts Of the
country.
II was out of the great fortune he had
accumulated In brewing that Matthew
Vassar founded. in 1861, the famous col
lege for women which perpetuates his
name. He vas an Englishman by birth,
Of French descent, and came to
America when he was four years old
with his father, who settled on farm
near Poughkeepsie.
Matthew Vassar was nearly seventy
years old when he delivered to trustees
s40s, 900 for the founding of the ''Vassar
Female College" as at first ii was
called. 1t was the first institution in the
world of its specific kind where the
highest collegiate education could be
provided exclusively for women. With
his gift Of money Mr.. NaSsar gave a
beautiful site of 200 acres. situated near
the Hudson river. In 1865 the institu-
ton was opened with twenty-eight In
structors and about $50 students. Today
the corps of instructors numbers more
than 100, and the number OF students
exceeds 1000.

College Elopers Foil
Pursuers by Five Minutes

BRISTOL, Va, April 2s.-Outwitting
the police and college instructors by
five minutes, two young women students
at Sullen's College and two young men
students at King College successfully
carried cut their double elopement plans
yesterday.
The ceremonies which made Miss
Anna Harris, of Florida, the wife of
Samuel Wood, and Miss Eula Mae Ga
win, of Alabama, the wife of Kent Kane,
were performed at Church Hill.
Several nights ago the young women
were smuggled out of the college by the
young men, and were expelled immedi-
ately. They were being held here pend
ing the receipt of advice from their pa
rents, and when II was learned yester-
day that the quartet had left the city
the faculty enlisted the aid Of the police
and gave chase.
1t was not learned until several hours
after the departure of the party that
they had gone In an automobile, as con-
siderable time was lost in telegraphing
stations along the railroad. The young
people were found by their pursuers
five minutes after the double marriage
had been performed.

Mental Marriage Then
Conventional Wedding

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. April 2s.-"We were
married by the circuit judge only to
end the evil gossiping of an evil world"
said Louis Roehlk today, when asked
why he had changed his mind and fol-
lowed conventional customs when he
and Miss ok had agreed to a purely
mental marriage"
You see. it's this way" put In the
now regular Mrs. Roehik. Louis pos
sesses a will that can overcome any
obstacle and a mysterious physical
strength that will make trusly platonic
love and marriage possible. He believes.
and I believe, that a child will be born
TO us. We base our belief on the Bib
lical story of the birth of Christ"
II imbibed this belief first when a
mere boy" interrupted Roehlk. ut was
crowded out of my heart when became
the sweetheart Of a widow. but since
that earthly love 1 have been strongly
imbued with the platonic idea. Two
visions of Christ inspired the union be-
tween Miss DIX and myself.
''If we are successful, and 7 know we
will be-" and here Mrs. Roehlk bowed
gravely in agreement. I'VE will go to
other parts of the world to teach the
way to live more nearly like Christ"

Federal Prosecutors
Foiled by Money Trust

The proposed prosecution of the
money trust has been abandoned for
the present. 1t was learned at the De-
partment of Justice today that the Gov
-crnment does not think II has enough
evidence to warrant action. The drop
ping of the case, according to a high
official, was due to inability to connect
the operations of the trust with the
terms of the Sherman antitrust act
There is little doubt but that there
is a money trust" said this official.
and that ii is probably the largest.
most powerful trust in the world. The

MERGER IMPETUS
IS GAINED At CIVIC
GREETING TOSOLONS
Board of Trade and Cham
Der Show United Spirit at
Big Reception.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce
and Board of Trade who attended the
reception to Congress at the Willard
last night, and that is a majority of
both, are today favorabIy commenting
upon two things-the success of the oc-
casion and its impetus to the merger
movement. There was much merger
talk. at the reception. and today the oc-
casion is being pointed to as concerto
example of at least one result which is
expected to follow the permanent juno
ton of the two big civic organizations
of the District.
No line of distinction between Board
of Trade and Chamber of Commerce
was drawn last night. The joint COM
mittee in charge OF the affair, of which
Scott c. Bone was chairman, made a
distinction only between members and
guests. White carnations were pinned
to the lapels of members of Congress as
they entered the hall. while red blooms
designated those rendering the recep-
tion.
BY o'clock the big ballroom. on the
top floor Of the hotel was comfortably
filled. BY men were crowding it from
end to end. White carnations TO the
number of about $50 were counted scat
tered throughout the room. The men
wearing these flowers were usually sur
rounded by a little group of members
of the Board and Chamber.
Not a word Of speechmakng was
there; only the buzz OF conversation,
softened by the orchestra's playing,
for the purpose of the reception was to
bring about mutual acquaintance be
tween the residents of the District and
their lawmakers.
Along one side Of the room was
stretched a string of tables. from which
was served buffet luncheon. Not until
after II o'clock did guests and hosts de-
mart
