TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Sept. 1s.-WHEAT-Announ
ment that the Italian wheat crop would
exceed the high ercord of two years ago
overcame today an early advance in prices
here. Previous advices had indicated
short yield in the southern part of the
country. The strength at the outset was
credited largely to improve flour business
and to smaller receipts northwest.
Opening prices were &c to AQssc higher.
The reaction carried the market a little
under last nights level.
Statements that Canadian threShing is
being completed unusually early weaken
ed prices and the close was heavy at 15c
to sc net loss.
CORN-Profit taking on the part of
leading holders wiped out advance in
corn. An excited advance at Liverpool
due to rumors that the United States was
making large purchases in Argentine had
much to do with the upturn at the outset.
The market started a shade to sc higher,
but receded under last nights figures.
Further weakness resulted from clear
ing weather The close was steady, 5ac to
sc net lower.
OATS-Oat traders went mainly to the
buying side until wheat and corn took the
downward track. After that, sentiment
seemed evenly divided, with prices at
moderate decline.
PROVISIONS-ProviSi went higher
all around with hogs. First sales showed
a gain of 21sc to 171ac, which was well
held.

ATTACKS GLASS BILL.
Senator Burton Picks Currency Meas
ure to Pieces.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 1S.-Members
of the American institute of bankers
in annual session here today heard
Senator Theodore E. Burton attack
the Democrat currency bill pending in
congress. The senator condemned the
regional reserve bank plan proposed
in the bill, but his criticism was aim .
ed chiefly at the provision authorizing
the federal reserve board to control
the issuance of currency. at is based
on an erroneous idea" he said,
namely, that government or political
organization may properly assume the
providing of a supply of paper cur
rency directly or indirectly. 1t is pro-
posed that the government shall as
sumo in the first instance the re-
demption of all circulating notes. This
should be left to the banks exclusively.
1t might be necessary for the treasury
itself to maintain a gold reserve as
is now held for the redemption OF
greenbacks. the proposed plan would
cause no arrangement in times of fair
weather, but in times of panic or
crises the obligation of the govern
ment to redeem circulating notes
would be most burdensome and might
seriously impair it's credit. The right
to fix the amount and time of issue is
equally objectionable. The transac-
tions of borrower and lender and the
relations between banks and their
customers will settle the question if
left alone. This, however, does not

FIGHT OVER DEAD BODY.
Divorced Wife and Relatives Tangls-
All Want Body

Eureka. KAN, Sept. ISIS Green
wood cemetery to be a battle ground
for the possession of a dead body?
Are its sacred precincts to be desc
Grated by a struggle for supremacy
over a dead body?
Who is the legal custodian of the
body of John Plank, deceased?
When death followed the fatal in
juries of John Plank, hurt by an ex-
plosion at Quenemo a few weeks ago,
the body was delivered to the father.
Andrew Plank, and by him was taken
to Greenwood for burial.
In that cemetery are two lots, ad-
joining. one owned by deceased. and
the other by the father. In the CEN
ter of the lot owned by Andrew Plank
another son is buried. and the father
directed that the grave for John be
dug in the center of his own lot By
mistake the grave was dug exactly on
the line of the two lots.
It is said that the divorced wife of
John Plank now demands that the
body of her ex-husband be removed
from its present location and placed
in the center of the lot owned by his
estate, and to this the father OBJ
jects, claiming the removal to be I'M
necessary. He also claims to have a
better right to control the matter
than has the divorced wife who has,
he declares, lost all her rights
In the meantime Andrew Plank
claims to have reason to believe that
the ex-wife is rallying relatives and
henchmen with an intent to make
descent on the cemetery and forcibly
if necessary make the change of
graves. He has taken steps to
thWart this.

MERCER in RACE.


| along with the declarations of State
| Treasurer Earl Akers to the effect that
the party is still progressive, would be
serious jolt to the new political or
ganizatiOn, it is claimed.
And If there is any doubt that Mer-
GER is genuine Progressive, it is only
necessary to look over his record Mer-
GER has trained with the Stubs crowd
since he first came to Topeka as
member of the legislature six years
ago. He was always on the firing line
for the Stubs crowd and in the Fourth
district was in constant training with
the Jackson-White organization. AS
a reward for his services, Stubs made
Mercer state live stock sanitary COM
missioner. Mercer made an average
good official. He still performed as
member of the house from Chase
county and was always one of the right
hand men of the Stubs machine.
Was Beaten for Legislature.
Then came the 1912 campaign.
The Rooseve1t-Taft fight in Kansas
was intense. Mercer was a candidate
for reelection to the legislature. But
he stood out in the open and made tho
preached for Roosevelt and the Pro-
gressive cause. Because of his stand.
Mercer drew the fire of the Taft
forces in Chase county and he was
beaten for reelection by j. w. Hanna,
young banker.
Mercer came back to Topeka after

of a federal reserve board. composed
of the secretaries of the treasury and

the president, Senator Burton said:
-Such an organization might at
first seem an ideal solution securing
a proper balance between the people
and the banks in the al-im portant
field of the management of our
finances. But it is the bane of our
national life that politics enters all
administrative duties. The compeIi-
ton between opposing parties is so
do not feel sure that the authority of
a political board will not be used for
partisan advantage
Senator Burton said the idea of
Capitalization had been adopted by
foreign countries widely remote and
different in policies, but added that
there is no doubt a prevalent opinion
which must be respected which OPP
poses a central bank and our geo
that of other countries that a central
bank is believed by many to be out

The senator strongly commended
the provisions granting authority 10
national banks to accept certain
classes of paper the proposed estab-

notes of other banks to
take immediate steps for their re-

Kansas City. Kan. Arranges Ordi-
nance With DIR. Crumbine.

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 1S.-The
Kansas side is going to have model
conta gious disease law if the city COM
missioners will enact the one drafted
in Topeka yesterday. DR.. Farquahr
Campbell. health commissioner, went
to Topeka and with DR.. S. J. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health,
drafted the new ordinance which viii
be presented to the commissioners to-
morrow.
Doctor Campbell told the state
health officials that last month he
found fourteen cases of typhoid fever
in one hospital. That was more than
he knew were in the entire town.
A stirring up of the physicians re-
vealed SO typhoid cases. None of
these had been reported and the health
officials did not know of the condition
and could not take any steps to pre-
vent the disease.
The new ordinance will provide
heavy penalties for failure to make
complete reports of all contagious and
infectious diseases.
One new feature of the ordinance is
that children who show evidence of
successful vaccination against small
poX may be admitted to the schools
the day the quarantine on their homes
is lifted while those not vaccinated will
have to stay at home two additional
weeks.

STRAW HAT IS IMMUNE
1t Must Not Be Scoffed at by Citizens
of Washington.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Scoffing at
the appearance of a straw hat is as bad
as smashing it in derisive objection at
this time of year, in the opinion of the
local police court. George Smith, yes
terday a care free but today a dazed
and nervous man, discovered this
truth from the lips of Police Judge
Mullowny. Smith jeered at the head
gear of a large man who wore num-
policeman off duty and out of uniform.
Smith was arrested. When ar
raigned, Judge Mullowny Iectured him
severely and then let him off, but he
issued solemn warning to others that
any criticism of the straw hat in the
future would be2ivisited by condign
punishment --r.

the breakfast table this morning read

if his case went to the United States
supreme court, years might roll by
before a decision was handed down.

but I hope Governor Felker will de-

that it will not be necessary to press

Thaw's counsel, were busy today look
ing up state and federal court rulings
in the matter of extraditing a person
charged with a crime, yet held to be
legally insane. so far We have been
unable to find any case where per-
