Backward Tilt.
Provisions Go Lower Owing to
Decline in Hogs.

Chicago. May ,25.-WHEAT-Contin
drought in western Kansas, permitted the
bulls to bid up wheat. The weather map
showed good rains in the southern and
eastern part of the state and also in Mis-
souri,, but not in the section necessary to
make sure a bumper yield. There were
also reports from Russia telling of I'M
favorable weather and Hessian fly dam
age.
The opening varied from 1kc off to sc
advance. July varied at 81 .101s to 81. 1014, a
gain of 1se to NC and rose to $1107s.
Subsequently reports of rain in north
west Kansas and of perfect conditions in
Oklahoma and Texas brought about a re-
action. The close, however, was firm with
July at S1.19A, a rise of sc net.
CORN-Corn first displayed sympathy
with wheat, but prices later receded ow-
ing to a break in hay quotations. Pas
July opened a shade off to 1sc up at 1880
761sc to 769Sc, touched 765s@764c, and fell
back to 1880.
The later backset in wheat sent the
corn market still lower; closing prices
were firm though, at 76ssc for July,

OLD CY is DONE.
'.It's a Great Old Game, But I've Had
Ny Day.

Boston. May 25.-"Cy'' Young has
gone back to the farm for good. He
has notified the Boston National
League club that his playing days are
over and has started back to Paoli,
Ohio, the place where he started p
years ago as a professional ball player.
For the first time in his life Young
this spring developed a glass arm.
Try as lie would, old ''Cy'' could not
straighten out the kinks. He did not
accompany the team west and after
training faithfully for six weeks he
gave up.
TITS a great old game, but I guess
I've had my day. 1t wasn't because I
needed the money that stayed in long
after ball players usually retire; It's
because I love the game-yes, sir,
actually love it. I hate to be counted
out, but I guess I'm getting old, so
what's the use?'
Young is well to do and has fine
farm in Ohio. He was born in 1867
and after a short career in the minors
went to Cleveland in 1890. He be-
came one of the stars of the game and
was the first pitcher to pitch a no-hit,
no-run game in the big leagues,

that followed did great damage to the
large stock exposed by the accident.

away. Water was blown through the
windows into stores, damaging goods

The one man WAC was injured was

trampled by one of the mules used
on the work. Just how serious his in

One house was struck by lightning
during the storm but although the
furnishings wer damaged the house
did not catch fire and the loss is
mostly confined to damage to the roof.

HOW HAVEMEYER DID
Independents Surprised by Suddenness
of Proposition.

New York, May 25.-Another link
in the chain of independent beet sugar
factories in Colorado which eventually
came under the domination of Henry
o. Havemeyer was the subject of in
quiry today in the proceedings insti-
tuted by the government to dissolve
the so-called Sugar trust.
Benjamin F. Hotel of Fort Collins,
Colo, one time director of the Fort
Collins Sugar company, testified that
several citizens of Fort Collins organ
in 1902, purchased a site and prepared
to build a six hundred ton plant. Be
fore the plans for the factory were
drawn he said, DIR. Samuel c. Hooker,
Havemeyer's Colorado agent, purehas-
ed a site adjoining theirs. The indie
pendents tried to interest other CAPT
tai in their enterprise, failed to do
F. c. Kilby to erect their proposed
plant.
Immediately after we had signed
the contract Mr.. Hotel said, "Mr.
Kilby swung around in his chair and
said:
Nov, gentlemen, you are going to
have sugar factory. Mr.. Havemeyer
will join you in the enterprise. Make
this a 1900 ton instead of a 500 ton
plant; you can have all the stock you
want and Mr.. Havemeyer will take the
balance. You can also have a MAJOR
ity of the board of directors

his innocence of wrong doing with the

McCanles did not know today
whether he would remain and fight or
leave Lincoln. He thought the public
sentiment there was so strong against
him tina: he could do no good by stay
what he will do. He left early in the
afternoon for Kansas City to confer
with his father who lives there. He
stated that the girl il the case was not
an orphan, as had been reported, but
that she had a father living in Kansas

1t is said that the girl denies that
there was any wrong doing between
her and McCanles and that she re-

friends.
McCanless stated that McCurdy, his
brother in-law, who first was s1spi-
cious of his relations with the girl, is
now convinced that there was nothing
wrong.

mer supporters have not been able to
add one name to their list.
Lorimer men were forced to the
conclusion that the list of doubtful
votes was too large to give them any
chance to win if the case were
brought to vote It was decided
to Senator Lorimer.
There was no one of Lorimer's sup
porters authorized to speak for him
today but it was argued that he should
resign and not further use1essly en-
barrass his friends in what they felt
would be futile hattie. 1t was argued
further that Senator Lorimer should
be content to rest on his former vic
tory and the fact that a majority of
the committee which investigated the
charges the second time had re-
ported in his favor
Curtis Forsakes Him.
Lorimer's health has been IMPAIRED
throughout most of the present session
and he has been unable to remain here
to look after his own intrests 1t was
thought that he might be influenced to
abandon the fight on that account One
severe blow to the Lorimer forces was
the knowledge that Senator Curtis of
Kansas, who voted for Senator Lorirner
last session would be against him if
the case again came to vote This
offsets the gain by Lorimer of Senator
Jones of Washington, who last session
voted against him.
Curtis justifes his change by his
friendship for Clarence S. Funk of
Chicago, general manager of the In
ternational Harvester company, a life
long friend. The Kansas senator SAYS
the testimony given in the last investi-
CATION clearly raises a question of
veracity between Funk and Edward
Hines, Chicago lumber dealer, charg-
ed with having said he helped put
Lorimer over Mr.. Curtis says he be-
Heves Funk.

Chicago, May 25.-Vice President
Sherman is believed to have arrived in
Chicago today. Whether his visit has
anything to do with the reported
matter of conjecture, as the vice presi-
dent was reported to have left the
train at Englewood, some distance
from the heart of the city, and to have
given no hint of his destination
At the home of Senator Lorimer it
was positively stated that Vice Presi-
dent Sherman was not there. Re
quests to speak to Senator Lorimer
were refused on the ground that un-
der physicians orders he was not per-
mitted to converse with anyone ex-
cept the members of the family. The
vice president kept his whereabouts
a secret most of the day although
