THAW ENJOYS LIFE.
Long Walks and Auto Rides Are His
Daily Program.

White Plains. N. Y, July 16.-Hariy y
K. Thaw, who is confined in Jail here
awaiting the outcome of his sanity
hearing, is being allowed considerable
freedom under the chaperonage of
Sheriff Doyle and Warden Hill. He
goes out daily for a cross-country
tramp or an automobile ride and every
morning has a long visit with his moth
er. who is staying at a local hotel.
ThaW is less communicative than
during his former stay and on the daily
automobile trip usually passes the time
in smoking and viewing the scenery.
He is an enthusiastic walker and fire.
quently his exercise takes this form.
With Warden Hill, he went for walk
of about ten miles in the country near
by on Saturday. Yesterday he had a
long automobile ride with Sheriff Doyle.
In the hospital ward in the Jail, his
principal diversion is the solving of the
various bridge problems which appear
in the papers. He has been student
of bridge for several years
Very few persons recognize Thaw on
his walks or automobile rides.

Price Declines More Than Four
Cents a BusheI.
Outlook Is for the Greatest
Yield in History.
KANSAS IS A BIG FACTOR
State Is Expected to Produce
1OO,OOO,OOO Bushels.
Yield 25 to 80 Per Cent Better
Than Expected.

Chicago, July 15-Wheat prices today
fell more than 3 cents a bushel. Dis
patches from the northwest asserting
that the outlook was for the greatest
year in history had much to do with it.
Weather in the Dakotas and Minnesota
was said to be ideal for filling the kerr
nels of the wheat plant and for banish-
ing danger of the dreaded black rust.
Threshing returns in Kansas were
also reported as showing a yield of %
and 80 per cent more than expected and
indicating that the state would produce
10o, ,0O0, 600 bushels.
Prices here sagged from a decided fall
ing off in demand rather than because of
heavy selling. The September option
which opened nc to 1c lower today at
$3.50 to $1.O05s was selling this afternoon
as low as 975s@97$zc, showing a loss of
SIC compared with Saturday nights close.
In the last half hour of trading the
market became still more demoralized
and before the end of the session had
swung down to $500 for September de-
livery, q drop of 4Q41sc a bushel. Final
sales were within a shade of the lowest
prices of the day.

upon the American secretary OF state

ball team il hard at work on his sched-
ulc for the coming season and expects
| to announce the games within few
days. Holy Cross win resume its south

season owing to the lateness of the East
er vacation. The dates for the trip
have not been closed as yet, but four
and possibly five games will be played
with the strongest college teams of the
South. Billy Dyer will again coach the
team. 1t is also expected that Jack
Barry, whose baseball career started at
Holy Cross, viii help coach the team
for week or two before leaving to
join the Athletics. Barry has a special
interest in the team this year, as two
brothers hailing from Philadelphia,

to Holy Cross at Barry's instigation.
Bob is a pitcher and has the repu-
tation OF winning II straight games with
the St Joseph's college team of Phil

coached by Barry in practice games

GRAIN CONGESTION WORSE.
Canadian Shippers Losing $4,000 a
Week In Storage Charges.

Montreal, Feb. 1.-The grain conges-
ton in Canada Is daily becoming worse
A great deal of pressure has been
brought to bear on the railway COM
panies with view to increased move
ment, but 50 far with very little re-
suit.
AT least twenty-three points on the
line of the Canadian Northern report
that they cannot take freight until the
congestion at Port Arthur is relieved.
There is little chance of such relief,
as only 100000 bushels of grain We're
moved from that point last week, when
there were orders for over 4,5OO,000
bushels.
Canadian grain shippers have been
rapidly losing their patience the last
few DAYS over the failure of the Can
adam Pacific to move grain eastward.
The railway commission has again been
asked to compel the railway to live up
TO its promise made Dec. 10, that it
would ship 200 cars daily out of the ter
mnals.
The company has been claiming that
il is doing its best, but the shippers
do not agree with it.
At Fort William, according to the
books. there are 3577 ears on order,
not loaded, representing over 4,32B,5o0
bushels of grain OF all kinds; and for
over three weeks there have never been
less than 5000 cars on order, but not
loaded The daily storage on 3,577 cars

TAFT is MUCH
STRONGER
Ohio Better United For His
denomination
MR.. HILLS Is CONFIDENT
TIE Third Term Idea Checks the Move
for Roosevelt-No Agreement
Between the Progressive
Candidates.
Mr.. HILLS IS CONFIDENT

Washington, Feb. 2.-Public men here
very generally are expressing the view
that President Taft has helped him
self by his trip to Ohio. Supporters OF
the administration are plainly pleased
with the tone of the presidents speeches
during this trip. They seem to be con-
fident that his utterances in Ohio will
do much toward solidifying the party
behind him as candidate for renom-
nation.
The president was due to return to the
White House late yesterday afternoon.
He will, it is understood. Immediately
give consideration to the suggestion that
political headquarters in his interest be
established here with Charles d. Hilles,
who is now his secretary, or some other
man. in charge. Republican senators
who have lately begun to take keen
interest in the presidents campaign for
denomination are hopeful that he Will
approve this plan for headquarters, but
they are more than half inclined to
doubt if he will. From the time his
suggestion of headquarters was made,
the president has been ayerse to the
idea He has eontended right along that
If the Republican party wants him as
its candidate it will nominate him with
out the assistance of a political Office
here in Washington.
Persons who are always on the look
out for political sensations have been
rather disappointed with the develop
ments so far this week The prevail
ing view among public men is that the
Roosevelt movement is not making much,
IL any, progress. On the other hand,
if is asserted the supporters of the adj
ministration are everywhere getting to-
gether and forwarding the movement for
the denomination of Mr.. Taft. The
third term business. it is asserted, is
one of the chief obstacles in the way
of the Roosevelt movement. A New
York politician who was here yesterday
is authority for the statement that
large number of Mr.. Roosevelt's person
a friends have recently written him that
their opposition to a third term for
any president will prevent their sup
porting him for denomination.
The negotiations looking to a work
ing agreement between the supporters
OF La Toilette, Roosevelt and Cummins
have not as vet produced any definite
results. Senator La Toilette seemed
inclined TO conduct his campaign in
dependent of the Roosevelt propaganda
His friends say that he rightfully feels
that if the party is to take up with
an opposition candidate, he is the man
they ought to look to.
