WHEAT EXPORTS.

II does not look much as though
wheat would be treated as contra
band in the present war. Already
England has announced that her gov
ernment will guarantee against loss
of all wheat shipped to British ports.
and also full payment for it. This
applies. so far. only to shipments
from Baltimore. But II is assumed
that the guaranty will be extended
to shipments from all ports This OF
itself Is enough to insure a tremend-
Gus movement of wheat. What be-
comes of the wheat is, OF course, no
concern OF ours. II is for the British
navy to make the guaranty good.
Other nations will, It is believed,
be forced to take similar action.
There will thus be a veritable scram-
BILE for our wheat. How val
liable will be the guarantee OF
other nations than England remains
to be seen. 1t seems likely that
France and England between them
will control the Atlantic trade routes.

The American farmers are, appar-
emily, in for prosperous season. With
enormous crops, an extraordinary de-
mand, guaranteed exports and good
prices. the outlook for the farmers Is
certainly most cheering. They owe,
too. much to the president for head
ing off the great railroad strike. and
to the reasonableness Of employers

with which to move the crops, to-

Opposition to the plan has develop

is also urged that the government
cannot undertake to carry contraband
of war, such as grain, to any Of the
belligerent nations. 1t is said that
private capital ought to go ahead and
acquire vessels. now that the govern
ment will assume the war risk.
But there is no certainty that pri-

the United States must have ships at

Since the death Of Mrs. Wilson
some Of the anti-suffrage journals
have tried to create
Mrs. Wilson the false impr ession
And Suffrage. that the late wife OF
the president was an
anu-suffragist. A very spirited de-
NAL Of the statement is contained in
the following editorial in the wom-
ans Journal, organ Of the suffrage
forces:
AT such time. it seems peculi-
arly mean for the opponents of equal
rights for women to malign Mrs. Will
sons memory by declaring that she
was an anti-suffragist The state
ment is untrue. Mrs. Wilson never
ranged herself definitely in favor of
woman suffrage. as her daughters
Jessie and Margaret have done. Like
many other excellent women of the
elder generation. she seems not to
have felt sure enough about the mer-
its Of the question to wish to take a
stand either for or against f. But
two years ago she personally assured
Miss Annie Peck. the famous noun
ain-climber. that she was not an
anti" Miss Peck's letter describing
the interview was published in The
woman's Journal"
Evidently the anti-suffrage people
tried 20 proceed on the theory that
because Mrs. Wilson did not actively
work for suffrage she was opposed to
the movement They cannot do that

Atlanta, April 27.-Detective W. ].
Burns today reiterated that he and
Franks attorneys have practically ahso-
lutte proof that the negro Jim Conley
murdered Mary Phagan and that he
was simply trying to save his own life
when he accused Frank of the murder
and charged the latter with acts OF per-
version.
AS usual Burns was denunciatory of
the Atlanta detectives and Solicitor
General Dorsey. Burns claims that the
detectives and Dorsey do not want the
truth. Burns also claims that he is GER
tain Conley is the Jack the Ripper" who
has murdered about twenty young negro
women in Atlanta in the last three years
and asserts that he will be able TO fix
these crimes ON the negro.
Burns says that a study of letters
written by Conley proves that Conley
wrote the notes left by Mary Phagan's
body, and also the notes left by the
bodies of the twenty murdered negro
women. The phraseology and hand
writing of the letters Burns has Sc
cured are said to be almost identical
with those Of the Mary Phagan notes
and with those of the notes left by the
bodies of the ripper's victims.
The language of the letters is OF
the fOulest character, and cannot be
printed. The language proves the
writer a pervert of the vilest sort.
The ripper also mutilated the bodies
of the women in a way to indicate
perversion.
