ATTEMPTED ATTACK
ON TAFT IS PROBED

Rutherford, N. j., May 29.-Chief
Wilkie Of the secret service has been
conducting quiet investigation into
an attempted attack on President Taft
which occurred while the president
was here Saturday night. Mr.. Wilkie
put through the third degree an italian
who is said to have thrown package
which hit the president in the face.
Thus far no arrest has been made. A
statement given out by Frank M.
Buckles. leader of the local Taft or
ganization, says:
"The twelve thousand persons as
sembled in the public square were dis
appointed in not hearing the president
speak because of the act of vandal.
AS the package struck the presidents
face or came down scraping his face
he was about to speak, but the secret
service men pushed him back in his
seat and took charge of affairs. They
ordered the car ahead at full speed
through the crowd, not knowing what
was in the paper and got away. Later
they informed me that the paper had
been soaked in water to make 1t
heavy"

ly sold prior to the enactment OF the
bill in which you we're largely instrl-
mental in getting enacted by the last
legislature.
The poor man and the laboring man
and all citizens alike In Iowa have
been benefited by this bill, and am
going to give to you here the figures
taken from our records which ought
10 be a source Of satisfaction and pride
to you and make you glad that you
had hand in getting through 40 i'm
portant measure. The fact that you
we're a practical druggist gave you a
decided advantage in comprehending
the usefulness Of this important bill,
and your advice In the matter had
very much to do In the passage Of the
Dill. These figures which herewith fol-
low speak for themselves.
During period of twenty months
over which this calculation has been
made, $4,932.s5 worth Of antitoxin has
been purchased by the citizens Of Iowa
at the special prices referred to. This
same amount OF antitoxin II bought
at the rates usually charged would
have cost our people $16,442s5. The
saving, therefor. during the twenty
months, amounted to $11,510, or nearly
$1,000 per year.
1t would be we'll for the people OF
your county or district to observe this
great saving, and should they be 40 I'M
fortunate as to require this remedy.
to remember that your voice and heart
was largely instrumental In securing
the passage Of the bill which Is now
law and in full operation. would
] not forget to mention the fact that
there were other members in the
house who gave their voice and aid to
this bill and did all In their power to
secure the passage Of the bill, but your
opportune speech explanatory Of the
plan could not have been 80 amply ex.
planned by anyone except a practical
druggist, and 1t was this speech that
made the committee unanimous In It's
recommendation that the bill be put
upon it's passage
would not close this letter without
stating to you that you were wholly
the originator of the amendment to
the law requiring house fumigation
and disinfection after death from
tuberculosis. hope that you may
have the satisfaction Of receiviny a re.
nomination and election which you so
much deserve. for one good term Of
service should be rewarded by a
second term which will enable you to
accomplish more because Of your ex-
perience than you were able to accom-
plish during your first session.
The work which you did has shown
that the legislation In which you took
so important a part has materially
benefited the entire state.
I have written this much to you that
you may know that the work which
you helped to bring about has proven
OF such great benefit to the people Of
the entire state.

pleasure Of being,

WHEAT PRICES STARTED A LIT
TIE HlGHER; DECLINE FOL.
LOWS. HOWEVER.

Chicago, May 29.-Free selling Of
wheat today overcame an advance due
to lack of rain in Kansas and Nebraska.
Spectators seemed to take their cue
from Liverpool dispatches declaring
that British traders regarding the fav-
orable outlook in the American spring
wheat belt as largely offsetting the un-
states. Besides. there was disposition
here to consider the drought and heat
in the west as having been sufficiently
discounted for the present. Opening
prices were Il to nc higher. July
started at Silly to s1.11A, the same
change from last night as the market
taken altogether. A decline to $l.10A
follower.
Reports Of late sown wheat firing in
southern Kansas led to a rally. There
were also assertions that rain west Of
Prairie View would not help the Kan
sas crop. Closing figures nevertheless
had weak Tone with July at $1.10s q
LION, a net decline Of h@bc.
Although as result Of unseasonabl BILE
cold and rain in Illinois corn at the out
set showed some flrmness, the market
later reacting with wheat. There were
also predictions Of continued big ship
ments from Argentine. July opened v
higher at 75A, touched 75A @75B and
then sageed to 75Ac.
A temporary upturn ensued on &C
count of shorts covering to profit. The
close however was weak, 1ac net lower
for July at 75bc.
There was but little support for
oats. Accordingly the cereal dragged
lower influenced by the course Of other
grains. July opened at shade off to n
on up at 50A to SON ad nfell back to
soc even.
Weakness at the yards pulled down
provisions. Prices, however, seemed in
clined to hold steady at a moderate de-
cline. Initial sales ranged from a shade
to INC down with September options
$3.50 for pork, $10.S0 for lard and
$10.37h to $1O.40 for ribs.
