BACK FOR ONE DAY.
Ohio Constitution Makers Move to
States First Capital.

Chillicothe, May 9.-Ohios consti-
tuition makers today turned back to
the spot where the first charter laws
of the state were drafted, Ito years
ago. To pay homage to the maxi
ers of the states first history, dele
gates, employees and attaches of the
fourth constitutional convention
moved in a body from Columbus to
this city, Ohios first capital
The court room in Ross county
court house, where the session was
held, occupied the ground where the
first state house stood. Many of its
furnishings are scarcely less historic
than its location.
The long oak table at which Presi-
dent Bigelow presided is the same
of the state was signed. Above the
table hung the big bell which swung
in the tower of the first state house.
1t has been in the relic room of the
present capitol for fifty years, but
was brought here today.
On the walls of the court room
hung pictures of the first governors
and many members of the first con-
stitutional convention. The original
records of the first convention were
also on display. No business was ex-
pected of the delegates.
The st. Clair house, where the then
Governor st. Clair escaped from a mob
led by Michael Baldwin, member of
the first convention, was visited.
Visits also were made to the Clinton
house, where British officers were pa
rolled after Perrys victory on Lake
Erie; to the cemetery hill, the burial
place of four governors, including
Governor Tiffin, the. first state execu-
tive; Cooks house, built in 1900 with
the first iron bars brought to the
state, and to the little mill site where
flour was first made in the state. The
first Ohio constitutional convention
met Nov. 1, 1902, and finished it's work
on the 29th day of the same month
This City remained the state capital
from 1902 until 1910 and again from
1912 TO 1916.

BULGE IN GRAIN
An Advance in Prices All Along
the Line.
Delay in Seeding in Dakota
Starts Wheat Upward.
CORN RISES IN SYMPATHY
Selling Comes Only From Seat
tered Commission Houses.
The Provision Market Remains
About Evenly Balanced.

Chicago, May 9.-WHEAT-Delay to
seeding in North Dakota formed source
OF apprehension to wheat spectators to-
day and tended to make the market adj
vance. Statements were circulated that
II planting were postponed much longer
the acreage would be materially reduced.
The fact that pit offerings were light
and demand good helped strengthen senti-
ment on the bull side. There was also
forecast that Argentine shipments would
be less than expected.
Opening prices ranged from the same
as last night to &c up. July started at
$L139s to $113s4, a gain of 1sQ14c to 14Q3sc
and rose to $1142sQ1. 1412
Despite big decrease in stocks at Min
neapolis the market afterward reacted.
Closing prices, however, were strong with
July 11sc net higher at $1.1414@1. 1875.
CORN-Corn went higher in sympathy
with wheat Selling came only from scat
tered commission houses. July opened
unchanged to 1sc dearer at 777sQ7Sc and
clibmed to 7S4@783sc.
Prices hardened further owing to re-
ports that a fifth of the corn planted in
Oklahoma had rotted. The close was firm,
4hG5sc up for July at 7Sas@781kc. Cash corn

Mr.. Taft gave a long list of legfsla-
ton enacted during his administration
which he said showed him to be a pro-
gressive. He said he accepted the sup
port of Uncle Joe" Cannon when
speaker of the house on the advice IF
Mr.. Roosevelt although the colonel now
attacked him for it. The president
went so far as to say that for a time
he contemplated an attack to defeat
Mr.. Cannon for reelection to the
speakership, but after receiving a let
ter from Mr.. Roosevelt advising against
that course, changed his mind. Having
secured Mr.. Cannon's assurance not to
oppose legislation he thought necessary
he abandoned that plan.

Today Topeka Housewives Are
Visiting Factories.
Not Enough Autos to Haul Wis.,
itOrs Around.
DINNER AT CLUB ROOMS
This Afternoon. the Tour Is
Being Continued.
''Votes for Women" Badges Are
in Evidence.

They saw Topeka first" Two hum
dred Topeka club women and others,
many of whom were bedecked with yell
low votes for women" badges took
advantage of the ladies seeing To-
peka first" tour arranged by the Com
mercial club.
The trip served. as an eye-opener, as
was shown by the expressions of en-
thusiasrn and surprise as expressed at
the complimentary Topeka made" din
club at the noon hour. Tnpromptu
speeches were made, and the women
formed an auxiliary to the Topeka
Booster club which hopes to event
ually include everybody in Topeka.
IT had no conception of the magni-
tude Of the manufacturing industries
of Topeka said one of the enthusi-
astic excursionists. Like expressions
were heard on every hand. The Topeka
made" dinner was pronounced an I'M
qualified success by the ladies. The
dainties were donated by Topeka firms.
The menu included pressed chicken,
ham, potato chips, spiced beets, potato
salad, whipped cream, gelatin cake.
ice cream mint waters, olives, pickles
and coffee.
The menu cards were double affairs.
That is one card showed an excellent
view of the great white way" and
the million dollar block and gave
the necessary information as to the
good things to eat. Another card at
tached by a ribbon gave a list of
Topeka goods required in the house.
and these were designed to be hung up
in the kitchen for ready reference. The
places where the articles may be pro-
cured were also given.
Not Enough Automobiles.
The full quota of women reported at
o'clock for the tour, but a number
of those who had promised their cars
for the day failed to show up, and
the result was that the start of the
excursionists was delayed. Forty-two
machines in all went out, one of which
it was necessary for the Commercial
club to hire. When the cavalcade finally
made a start at 9:4o o'clock there were
several women left behind. G. d. Skin
ner, of the Merchants Transfer COM
pany, came to the rescue, with a big
''carry-all'' rig, and provided for those
who had found it necessary to stand
so long a time in front of the Com
merce building. Two or three of the
women decided to wait until afternoon
before seeing the factories.
This morning the autos were divided
in five groups, each group having a
different schedule to follow out. The
creamerieS, ice factories, rug concerns,
mattress factories were among the
places visited by the squads. The cap
tains were: W. H. Davis, Robert Bill
lard, w. H. Kemper, T. W. Reynolds
and L. F. Clearinghouse.
At an early hour this afternoon the
autos made a second start. There were
four groups under Robert Billiard, T.

Busy.

New York May 9.-Reports that book
makers and gamblers have been oper-
ating heavily at the big league base
ball parks here and in other cities has
stirred the New York club owners to
an investigation. Every trace of the
gambling evil, is to be stamped out
souareIy, it is announced, in a determin-
ed effort to save baseball from the
stigma which crushed out the sport
of horseracing in this country. The
club owners have been assured hearty
police support in any action they take
against the gamblers.
According to Newspaper investigation,
thousands of dollars are being wagered
here daily on the results of the big

Wall ST., New York, May 9.-STOCKS-
Trading on the stock market became dull

ST. Paul, however, not only recovered an
early loss, but sold above yesterdays
high price. Improvement in Great North

naturally associated with the recent opti-
mistic statement of their Titular head.

their advantage, however, although gos-
sip reported an increased short interest
in both. United States Steels strength
seemed to imply a favorable untitled ton

heard of recently shared in the early ses-
sions very moderate activity.
The lower British bank rate was accept
all important financial centers.
Bonds steady.
An active demand prevailed for the we'll
known stocks and there was a further
sues. Reading increased its gain to over
points and the Copper group mounted
strongly on the announcement OF large
sales of the metal.
Influenced in part by the reduction of the
British rate the local stock market de-
veloped a fair degree of strength at to-
days opening. Reading soon advanced a
full point with substantial gains on the
various other leaders such as United
States Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
Bethlehem Steel preferred rose poitn.
There was some weakness in St Paul
