believed here that these sales were
made for the purpose Of cleaning up

New wheat is moving more freely.
The weakness in the July wheat
at Chicago today demonstrated the
actual condition in the wheat world
So anxious were "hedgers" to put
out lines that they followed the July
from Csc down to a6c and peppered

cared to absorb. There was some
recovery, however. towards the close

Officials Will Investigate

Washington, + February 16.-A thorough investigation is to be made by army off, cials into the accidental invasion" of Mexican territory yesterday at iuarez, op- posite Fl Paso when Lieut. Benjamin N. Fields took detachment of the Eign- teenth infantry across the international boundary on a loop trolley car. Lieuten- ant Fields has been placed under arrest at Fl Paso pending the outcome
 While the war department is convinced that the mistake was due to the un- familiarity of Fields and his men with the fact that the trolley car they boarGe I was to cross into Mexican territory before reaching it's destination on American soil. it Is desired that this fact be thoroughly impressed on the Mexican officials.
 The Mexican government has promised the United States to protect the 10 Amer jeans now at Tlahualeio, state Of Du- rango. At Palamos, on the border line just south of Columbus. New Mexico, the rebels are reported to be permitting goods of all kinds to come into Mexico at one half the regular tariff duties
 While conditions in Juarez are said 10 be favorable the government claims the Casa Grandes regions are still unsettled. There is much opposition to the govern ment and the rebels there continue to interfere with the running of trains out of Juarez.

Hand Gets Records

Albany. N. Y, February 16-Attorney General Carmody today turned over to Richard l.. Hand, who has been desig- mated by Governor Dix to hear testimony on the application for clemency of Follke E. Brandt, formerly valet to Mortimer l.. SchiT. tho record upon which the gov ernor recently refused to pardon Brandt. Tis was done so that Mir. Hand may ramillarize himself with details of the case. MT Carmody stated that while 1t is necessary for the governor to sign all subpoenas issued by Commissioner Hand the latter will have wide discretion in summoning witnesses.
 He is empowered to summon any per son whom he believes possesses inforna- ton that will tend to show that wrong doing has marked any of the proceed ings before conviction or whether facts were misrepresented to the governor when the application for clemency was made in Brandts behalf. He did not know whether Brandt would be called upon to testify.
 The attorney general was of the opinion that the evidence to he submitted would include an examination of every record that has figured in the case "One of the important objects of the investigation" said he, Ifs to ascertain if there was any wrong doing to the detriment of the convict and especially if any corrupt in- fluences were used.
 Cans Comments Detective
 At the district attorneys office tonight the text of a letter addressed to former Police Commissioner Bingham and signed ''Howard S. Cans" under date of April II, 1907, was given out. II expressed the writer's Appreciation of good work done by officers" in looking mp the history of Brandt. In part the letter read: For the purpose of advising the court in the inn position of sentence, the detective bureau was requested to ascertain the mans past history and the work was assigned by Inspector Mclaughlin to Sergt. John Taylor and Joseph D. Woodbridge. The wrok involved the obtaining of accurate information as to a number Of petty lar cenies and some forgeries, none of which had been subject to prosecution. The time from the assignment to the day when the information was to be presented in court was very short and the acumen and persistence that were displayed In obtaining information which proved to be absolutely correct seemed to be worthy of the highest commendation.'
