WHEAT TAKES BIG
NJ THEN FALLS

Chicago, April 16.-Buyers and SELL
ers alike were whipsawed today in
wheat. The market swiftly whirled up,
then down, and up again over q range
of nearly 4 cents. Trading reached a
magnitude seldom equaled except in
war times.
The news, which had the greatest in
m on the bull side of the wheat
market, was from a crop expert who
had previously been disposed to mini
mize the effect of supposed winter kill
ing in the soft winter states. Today he
telegraphed from Decatur, H., that be-
tween there Inc Nation. H., virtually
all the wheat was dead; that the fields
were perfectly bare ana would have to
be planted to oats n corn.
On the other hand, the bears pointed
out that at Liverpool n elsewhere,
prices had not risen in anything like
that. according to conservative stand
ards, 1t was too early to determine
finally the damage to the winter crop.
A Dizzy Half Hour.
Under sway of such radically oppo-
side ideas, May wheat spun in aston
ishing fashion over a limit Of price
bounded by $1.07k below and $1.10h
on top. In less than q single quarter or
an hour, both these levels were reached,
but there was nc stability at either, nor
at any point between. The greater per-
sistency was shown, perhaps. in the re-
turn of the market to the upper place.
Statements which attracted much no
tice were hat there was not one good
field from Plymouth, Ind, TO Logans-
port, and that where drill rows showed
at all, it was only as brown stubble. In
La Preble, Montgomery and Clark
counties, Ohio, 1t was asserted that out
Of SO farms examined, "a were entirely
dead, eight that might seed back, and
10 that would grade 60 per cent. MI
merous damage reports were received
also from Nebraska. In consequences
of such specific details of ruin, the mar
ket veered more strongly to the bull
side and hit as high mark s1.11b for
May and $1.07% @1.07as for July, gains
of more h 1Rc above the topmost
figures of Saturday.
Before the session ended May wheat
surpassed all previous records on the
bulge and sold as high as SLIM, MAX
ing the extreme range between the top
and the bottom prices today Az cents.
The close was ragged and nervous with
May at Sill and July at $1.0661 .061s,
showing a net advance of 1b@1Ac
piled up, inaddition to the rise of 10
cents q bushel scored last week.

MEXICO Warned TO
PROTECT AMERICANS
Special Instructions Issued to
Ambassador Wilson, at
Mexico City.

Washington, April 16.-Warnings
have been issued by rhe United States
to the Mexican government, rs well as
to Gen. Pascual Orozco, chief of the
insurectos. that it expects and must
demand that American life and prop
erty within the republic of Mexico be
justly and adequately protected n

Mexico and the Mexican people respon.
sible for all wanton or illegal acts sac
rificing or endangering American life
or endangering American property or
interests"
The attitude Of the United States az
expressed to both the federal and rebel
authorities is that n maltreatment Of
American citizens will be deeply re-
sented by the American government
and be fully answered for by the Mex
lean people.

of the state department, who today is

PENNSYLVANIA Is
FOR COL. ROOSEVELT

Philadelphia, April 16.-Corrected re-
turns up to this afternoon give Theo-
dore Roosevelt "a of the "a district ma
tional delegates with prospects that the
number will be increased to 55, as th
result of Saturdays primary election IN
Pennsylvania. AS his supporters ex-
pect to control the state convention,
which will nam IL delegates at large
this will give him a total of &C or pos
sibly 81, out of the states delegation
of rs.
President Taft carried only the
First, Second and Third congressional
districts in Philadelphia, and the Ninth
district comprised Of Lancaster county.
He won one delegate in the Fifth
district Of this city.
The only delegate in doubt Is in the
Twentieth district, comprised Of Adams
and York counties.
Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, made almost a clean sweep Of the
state. Returns indicate that he has in
the n~eighborhood Of 70 delegates, but
the exact number cannot be ascer-
tanned until a complete count is in.
Because of the split in the democratic
party in Pennsylvania some delegates
may change their preference from one
candidate to another.
Politicians look upon the triumph Of
Colonel Roosevelt with astonishment.
The supporters Of the former president
were without a state organization or
without an organization in many of the
32 congressional districts.
The regular republican organization,
headed by United States Senator Boise
Penrose, which has withStood the fury
of many a political storm, received a
crushing defeat in the loss OF control
OF the state convention. 1t is the first
time in the present generation that 1t
has lost control Of that body. In addi-
ton to naming the IL delegates at large
to Chicago, the convention will select
3S presidential electors, four candidates
for congressman at large and candi-
dates for state treasurer and auditor
general. all to be voted for at the No
vember election.
The significance of the Roosevelt VIC
tory can be realized when it is remem-
bered that the delegates In control OF
the state convention have the power to
elect the state chairman and under the
party rules the delegation to the ma
tional convention elects the national
committeeman. At present Senator
Penrose holds that position.

Havana, April 16.-The American

diplomatic mission to the Central
American republics and the countries
of the Caribbean.
1T was hardly to be expected said
Mr.. Knox today, that we could visit
so many countries where there are fac
tional political disputes without being
made the target of some fractional feel
ing. But with the exception of a few
newspaper expressions, to which I at
tach no great significance. we were
honored with only the most cordial re-
ceptions."
The cruiser Washington, with the
Knox party aboard, steamed out of
Havana harbor at Z o'clock, bound for
Norfolk. She will arrive there tomor-
row night and the following morning
the party will transship to the presi-
dents yacht Sylph, arriving at the
capital Wednesday evening.
Secretary Knox soon will begin an
other trip, this time ON land. on April
20 he will speak at New Orleans on
the occasion of the centennial celebra-
ton of the admission OF Louisiana to
statehood. He will then go to San
Francisco. where on May 7 he will
speak on the Panama canal. On May
8 he will deliver a political address in
the same city. He is also scheduled to
address the newly organized Pam
American society in New York on some
date after the middle of May. He will
then make public the conclusions
reached as a result of his two months
trip among the n~eighboring republics.
