It IS curious fact that all The
twenty-five rear admirals of the navy
were born in the fifties. Indeed one
can go father and state that the eldest
were born in 1852 and the youngest
in 1856. This makes their ages range

Thomas Benton Howard.

The presence of Rear Admiral
Thomas Benton Howard as COM
maader Of the American squadron off
the Pacific Coast is a curious echo of
the Cardiac banquet squabble.
Howard was chairman Of the banquet
committee of the Naval society and
one of those on whom the administra-
ton wrath descended for the alleged
affront to the Filipinos and to Secre-
tary of State William J. Bryan. He
had been ordered to the command of
the Asiatic Fleet, but now Secretary
Daniels revoked the order and sent
him ito Mexico.
Secretary Daniels explained he did
not want to punish Admiral Howard
but did not think it polite to send him
to the PHILIPPINES.
AS it turns out Howard IS appar-
entity in for al active time, which is
what all naval officers long for
while the Asiatic post would have
been STUPID in comparison.
Rear Admiral Howard was born in
Galena, Illinois, in 1854 and was APP
pointed to the Academy by President
Grant. He graduated in 1873. In
1879 he married Anne J. Claude, of
Annapolis.
Howard was navigator of the Con-
cord at the battle of Manila Bay in
the Spanish war. He saw much serv-
ice before hostilities were over, being
on the vessels which were used
against insurgents. He commanded
the caravel PiAta on it's trip from
Barcelona to Havana in 1928, in
celebration of the four hundredth an
niversary of Christopher Columbus
voyage. He commanded the fourth
division of the Atlantic Squadron from,
1910 to 1912

Opening Wheat Changes Around
2 IA Cents-Contracts
Fairly Evened Up.

CHICAGO, July o1.-At the opening of
the board of trade today first sales of
wheat showed changes of not to exceed
2A cents. as compared with variation
of cents at the opening yesterday. The
primary changes were downward.
All members of the board Of trade today
succeeded in squaring their accounts on
time at the clearing house. One of the
largest houses in the trade offered as
sistance if any were needed to settle out
standing transactions in the July deliv-
cry of wheat.
Notwithstanding that today was set
tlement day for the July delivery and
that the worst skyrocketing had been
predicted for that option. there was no
trading whatever in July at the outset.
The opening declines of approximately
. cents at the start were soon succeeded
by setbacks of . cents additional.
First trades in July were at 31 decline
as compared with last night. This fact
was interpreted as meaning that con-
tracts in July wheat had been fairly
well evened up.
Prohibitive conditions in the export
trade were mainly responsible for the
weakness in wheat Another powerful in
fiuence was the fact that the Liverpool
market had receded from a wild initial
advance.
Fluctuations in corn were nearly as
wide as this in wheat. July dropped 4
cents and other options also weakened.
July oats and provisions held steady.
Declines in the wheat market amounted
to 61s before prices began to react. The
ensuing upturns were approximately III.
