Standards Cut Words.

The most amusing instances of lazi-
ness in speaking are to be found in
Spain. The Spaniards have made it a
practice to cut down every word to an
irreducible minimum of sound. Take
their word for "son." which is as near
as possible "eecho" (ch cultural, as in
"loch") That was originally the Latin
"filius' The French made it fills" y
the. Italians "figlio" (feelyo). The
Spaniards could not be bothered with
the "f' at the beginning or the ''i'' in
the middle. so they simply pronounced
the two vowels with cultural noise.

Thomas w. Ross in 1.-THE Only Son."

An important theatrical event SEIZED
uled for Thursday, December IL, will
be the first appearance here of Thorn
and Checkers" fame, in Winchell
Smiths greatest play, THE Only Son."
The presentation here of THE Only
Son" will undoubtedly attract the at
tention of sincere followers of the
drama, who have come to know that
any play from the pen of Winchell
Smith is deserving of more passing
thought. Here is a writer, who, when
he has a story to tell, invariably cloth
es it in an atmosphere of laughter no
less than tears, but in conveying it
presents a moral lesson that raises it
above the mere artistry of stage craft.
A forceful example of this truism
was forthcoming in Mr. Smiths THE
Fortune Hunter" which enjoyed a
long run last season. That plays re-
semblance to "The Only Son" will be
found only in its cleanliness, and in it's
vein of comedy. In his newest play,
Mr. Smith presents theme that is big
in interest and vital in it's far-reach-
ingness, theme which encompasses a
manifestation of modern life. Indeed
from the beginning of the world, and
while it doubtless has been and is be-
ing given deep thought, is seldom dis
cussed, but is nevertheless a subject
of vital importance to fathers, moth
ers and children.

REACTION IN THE
 WHEAT MARKET Too Early toEstimate Years Crop Results-Agricul- tural Outlook Hopeful

New York May 12.-The stock market last week underwent some further specu- lative defation which went toward cor rcction of previous excess Suspicion or the excess at first aroused by signs or undue manipulative operations, was con frnled by various events proving the un- due assumptions of the rate of business advance on which the rise in stocks had been based. The accumulation of a short interest in the course of the decline gave the market some resiliency at times, but i, the speculation showed hesitation about an immediate resumption of an advance.
 The government crop report confirmed definitely the fears of the large propor- tion of wheat planted in the fall which had been killed by the severe winter. Evi- dence that this fact had spent it's force as a speculative factor was seen in the reaction in the wheat market itself. The belief persists that it is still too early to estimate the years crop results. Pos abilities of replanting the acreage Of winter wheat plowed under are kept in mind. The belated season keeps alive anx- iety in this respect, both for grains and cotton The agricultural outlook as a whole Is regarded as hopeful and encour- aging.
 The same may be said of the great basic steel industry in spite of the continuing influence of the fact that the United States Steel surplus had to be drawn on for payment of practically all the first quarters common stock dividend.
 The April pig iron production was sus- xatre1 rata aver tbe March ont put and weekly shipments of crude steel into consumption are amounting to new records This did not prevent an unex- pectedly large increase in the May ton mage of untitled orders of the Steel cor poration. Contracting in anticipation of the advance in prices must be allowed for in that showing. The invigorating effect on the Industry Is show, however, by reports of shortage of crude steel pre- 1niums for early deliveries, advances in official quotations, the heavy pay rolls which Pittsburg banks are called on to finance and complaints of growing scar city of labor in that district. The related copper industry April statistics showed less than the expected increase inastocks, the domestic deliveries in consumption being increased, while last weeks rise in the foreign price of copper reflected re- newed demand from that quarter.
 Reduction Of the oficlai pank rate oi the Bank of England marks growth of ease in the money market Withdrawal by New York of credits abroad is ex- pected to follow, but requirements are awaiting these resources. Renewed strln- gency is feared at Berlin, with the close of another quarter The weeks sale of $65, ,000,000 New Yorw city 4i4 bonds at an average price of 100.74 indicated only mod erately favorable conditions. Bankers pressjng for settlement of the contracts for new subways in New York attracted attention by their statements that "condi- tions are quickly changing in the bond market, in the money markets of the world, in the political situation and in the ranks of labor

 Trouble

Knoxville, Tenn. May 12.-Fully five persons participated in a near-riot at JU- lico, Ky, this afternoon and at least 15o shots were fired. As result two per sons are dead and several wounded. The trouble started when Marshal Tom Bow lin attempted to arrest Wiley Parton, who was shooting promiscously on the street.

Wesley Parton, well known feudist. and father of Wiley Parton, was also shot down, but how serious his wounds are. cannot be told. as friends took him from the scene. Al Butcher, who supported the marshal, was shot through the neck and Is seriously hurt. Some of the by-standers say that Butcher fired the shot which took young Parton life
 Al Bowlin. another of the wounded, was clubbed on the head with gun and is seriously injured. The latter IS a brother of the marshal. Adding to the excitement of the occasion Marshal Bow lin attempted to take his own life when he found that his wife had sacrificed her life to save him. A pistol with which he would have shot himself was knocked from his hand by friend.

TAFT APPEALS BY WIRE TO
 CALIFORNIANS FOR SUPPORT

building and completing the Panama ca- nal, I submit a record is formed that entities this administration to the supp port of the republican men and women of California and that it is progressive in the highest degree
 This administration has shown no favor to wrong gdoers, it has enforced every law on the statute books. It pros ecuted the sugar frauds. the custom frauds their rebates, and it has brought suit against every trust against which there was evidence of It's violating t;la sherman law and this includes ths steel trust and the harvester trust, which were treated as good trusts un-l Ger MT. Roosevelt and as entitled to- immunity after a threat by Mr. George w. Perkins that the prosecution of such trusts would bring about a fight by them with the administration.
 "Mr. Perkins is now one of the chief contributors to MT. Roosevelt's poli.- teal fund"
 The last important measure which I have urgently recommended to Con- gress, which has passed the Senate and is now pending in the House of Rep- resentatives, Is the workmens coin- pensation bill, which changes altogeth- CT the policy of the law with refer ence to the liability of the employer to the employe on interstate commerce railroads and gives an insurance for every employe against the dangers oil his employment by requiring the em- ployer to indemnify the employee against injury received in the employ ! ment not brought about by his will and voluntary account and fixes reason ! able compensation graduated accord- ing to regular tables and proportional to the extent of the injury and the earning capacity of the employe in- jured
 Tn the opposition which MT. Roose- welt is now making to this administra- tion he Is not giving me square deal as I have shown by undoubtable rec ord proof He is appealing to class hatred and forcing sham issues In such a way that his success would be a real detriment to the public interest and al departure from wise tradi- tion which he himself has recognized that limits person to two terms in the presidency.
