GOV. WILSON BOOSTED
Other Candidates Knocked at
Cooper Union Meeting.
AUDITORIUM HALF FULL
$50 Members of Conference Go
to Baltimore to Further the
Cause at Convention.

Several members of the New York State
Wilson conference told at a mass meeting
last night AT Cooper Union why the Gov
ernor of New Jersey should be the Demo
cratic nominee at Baltimore. There were
warmer places than the Interior Of the
historic meeting hall. Partly this was due
10 the temperature itself. and then there
was lots OF room The hall was about half
filled.
The Democratic Progressives, to he sure,
applauded the name of Woodrow Wilson,
but at no time were they particularly de-
monstrative and for nearly every boost
for Wilson there was a knock for the other
men mentioned as possibilities for the DEM
ocratic nomination.
Gaynor was "the blind of Charles r.
Murphy" and "he had not declared him
self on the national issues, so that the
party could tell where he stood; "Clark's
boom had been waning. and he had been
temporizing with the delegates from New
York and elsewhere; Harmon had been
called the Wall Street candidate" And
so II went with the men believed to have
chance for the domination Bryan was not
mentioned at all
As to Wilson, the purpos" Of his support

Tho OWNING Rod.

The United States Geological Sur
vey states in Water Supply Paper
255, entitled Underground Waters for
Farm Use," just reissued, that no ap-
pliance, either mechanical or electric,
has yet been devised that will detect
water in places where plain common
sense and close observation will not
show it's presence just as well. Nu-
merous mechanical devices has been
proposed for detecting the presence
of underground water, ranging in COM
plexity from the simple forked branch
of witch hazel, peach or other tree to
more or less elaborate mechanical and
electric contrivances. Many of the op-
orators of these devices, especially
those who use the home-cut fOrked
branch are entirely honest in the be-
lief that the working of the rod is in
fluenced by enthusiastically regard
ed as electric currents following un-
foreground streams of Water-that are
entirely independent OF their own
bodies, and many people have implicit
faith in their own and others ability
to locate underground water in this
way. In experiments with rod made
from a forged branch it seemed to
turn downward at certain points indie
pendent of the operators will, but
more complete tests showed that this
downturning resulted from slight and,
until watched for, unconscious mus
cular action, the effects of which were
communicated through the arms and
wrists to the rod. No movement of
the rod from causes outside OF the
body could be detected, and it soon
became obvious that the view held by
other men of science is correct-that
the operation of the "divining rod" is
generally due to unconscious move
ments of the body or of the muscles
of the hand. The experiments made
show that these movements occur
most frequently at places where the
operators experience has led him to
believe that water may be found.
The uselessness of the divining rod
is indicated by the facts that it may
be worked at will by the operator,
that he fails to detect strong water
currents in tunnels and other chan
nels that afford no surface indica-
lions of water and that his locations
in limestone regions where water
flows in well-defined channels are no
more successful than those depend
ent on mere guess. In fact, its Oper-
ators are successful only in regions
in which ground water occurs in a
definite sheet of porous material or in
more or less clayey deposits, such as
pebbly clay or till. In such regions
few failures can occur, for wells can
get water almost anywhere.
The only advantage of employing
water WITCH" as the operator OF
the divining rod is sometimes called,
is that crudely skilled services are
thus occasionally obtained, for the
men so employed, if endowed with any
natural aptitude, become through their
experience in locating wells shrewd,
if sometimes unconscious observers of
the occurrence and movements OF
ground water.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT,

Chicago, Sept 9.-WHEAT-For the first
time this season wheat today dropped be-
low 80 cents a bushel. Unusually heavy
receipts formed the main reason.
Primary arrivals for the week were the
largest on record for the present time
of the year. 1t was believed also the
government report this afternoon would
confirm recent generous estimates of yield.
The opening was unchanged to &c low
er. December started soc to 500 C, varying
from 1sc lower to &c up and then de-
clined to S95s0%c.
Only feeble rally ensued The close
was steady, 1SQAc net lower for Deem
Der at SS1sd90c
CORN-Hot forcing weather for maturing
the crop led to a free selling of corn. De-
cember opened 1sc to &c down at 54Ac to
54Ac but rallied to $3.50.
The market hardened a little further but
then slipped back with wheat The close
was easy with December &c net lower at
5SQ54c. Cash corn-No. 2, 78k@79c; No. 2
white, SOA4S1c; No. yellow, 78N0794c.
No 8, 7S14Q7S12c; No. 3 white, SOA@S01kc;
No 3 yellow, 7S1s@79c. No. 4, 771kG78c; No
white, 79Aq8Oc; No. yellow, 7SQ7szc.
OATS-Bidding up of the September de-
livery made other options in oats relative
ly firm. although actual business was
small. December started a shade to A0Ac
higher at 32Ac to 32ssc and seemed dis
posed to hold within those limits.
V1SIONS-Provisions weakened be-
cause OF the slackness Of demand. First
sales ranged from unchanged prices to
to $1S.95 for pork, $10.721z@10.75 to $10.771k
for lard and $1O.15 for ribs.
