GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. March 20.-Heavy selling
by leading firms today drove down the
price of corn. New York reported that
nearly d million bushels Of Argentine
corn had been bought yesterday to
come to this country. Besides, word
came from Omaha that cash demand
and that only a few cars were sold to
feeders last night. Opening prices,
which varied from Il off to Is up. were
succeeded by a material setback all
around.
Wheat weakened in sympathy with
corn. The firm cables. however. tended
to check selling. Prices started 1s
lower to like advance. and later
showed a general decline. with July
leading the down turn.
Commission houses took to the bear
side in the oats crowd. Pit spectators
seemed willing to buy at a moderate
drop In quotations.
Provisions developed a little f1rmness
on account of an advance in the price
of hogs. First sales ranged from
shade to sc higher. but not all OF the
gain was held.

little more. First had come the fright
when that awful tin pail Of Farmer
Browns Boy had caught over his head
Just as Farmer Browns Boy yelled at
Then he had got the pail off so that
he could see. only to find it fast around
his neck because the handle had slip
ped down behind his ears. He had
Pasture long enough to try to get
rid Of 1t. and 30 had run ali the way
to the Green Forest with 1t hanging
about his neck. This was bad enough,
for he knew just how funny he must
look. and besides. 1t was very uncom-
Portable. but to have Sammy Jay call
everybody within hearing to come see
him was more than he could stand.
He had tried to get away by himself
in the deepest, darkest. most lonesome
place in the Green Forest but Sammy
had followed. all the time screaming
at the top OF his lungs. and now
it seemed to Buster as II everybody
who lives In the Green Forest, or the
Green Meadows. or around the Smiling
place laughing and making fun of him.
II was more than any self-respecting
bear could stand.
With q roar Of anger Buster Bear
charged out Of his hiding place: He
roared with ali his might! He was
very terrible to see. Those who could

ran. few who could neither fly nor
and trembling for fear that Buster
would md them. In less time than 1t
takes to tell about 1t Buster was alone.
At leaet he couldn't see any one. Then
he vented his temper on the tin pail.
He cuffed at 1t and pulled at 1t, all
" IN 1ax
down and clawed at 1t with his hind
feet. At last the handle broke and
he was free! He shook himself. Then
he jumped on the helpless pail With
blow Of a big paw he sent it clat-
tering against tree. He tried to bite
it. but finding that even his strong
teeth made no impression on il he
once more fell to knocking it this way
and that way until 1t was pounded
fiat. and no one would have guessed
that 1t ever had been a pail.
Then. and not till then. did Buster
recover his usual good nature. Little
by little. as he thought 1t all over,
look OF shame crept into his face.
Il guess 1t wasn't the fault of that
thing. 1 ought to have known enough
to keep my head out of it, he said
slowly and thoughtfu1ly.

come back and was. looking on from

SHARP MAY LOSE HEAD
State Department, However, Has Not
Heard of Alleged Indis-
Greet Interview.

According to newspaper advices from
Paris this government may have to re-
call William G. Sharp, the new am
bassador from this country to France, on
the ground that he has given out an in
discreet interview in Paris that has not
been well received by the French govern
nent-
This statement is contained in a dis
patch to a New York paper from a
prominent American living in Paris. but
he does not furnish the text of the inter-
view. In official circles today the opinion
was expressed that there is nothing to
the charge.
Not only had there been no word re-
ceived at the State Department of the
interview. but officials said they had nc
other inkling of the incident from any
source.
Mr.. Sharp has not yet presented his
credentials to the French government
The understanding has been that he viii
be received by the French government a,
Bordeaux and that Myron Herrick, the
retiring American AMBASSADOR, will re.
main at Paris to aid Americans there.
Mr.. Herrick has been seeking to ge,
away from his post for montns. He II
declared to be one of the most popular
Americans who ever represented th.s
country in France, not only with the
French government ana people. but with
thousands of Americans who have beer
in France in recent years.

FAU[TS0F MONEY
GRANT PLAN CITED
Single Committee Should Con-
troll Appropriations, Says
Chairman Fitzgerald.

1.-THE grants Of public money will never
be properly controlled while more than
single committee has authority to ap-
propriate moneys"
Thus did Chairman Fitzgerald of the
House committee on appropriations. in a
speech in the House this afternoon, en-
phasize the necessity. in his view. of re-
forms previously advocated. He went on
to say:
THE committee on appropriations has
jurisdiction of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, the Dis
trict of Columbia bill. the sundry civil
the pension. the fertilization and the de-
hciency bills; while the agriculture. dip
lomatic. army. Military Academy. naval.
Indian. river and harbor and post Office
appropriations are scattered among seven
other committees. The result is inevita-
bly, bad. Committees that have legislative
authority should not recommend appro-
priations: they inevitably become biased
in favor of the services over which they
have legislative control.
1.-The bills over which the committee
on appropriations had Jurisdiction as en-
acted for the fiscal year 1914 aggregated
SIG. 944. ff2 50; for the fsca! year 1915.
during the present session. S,5S,91 .2s3. 10.
a reduction OF $3.50 %. 1899, and 20, H..
4cS SO less than the estimates for 1915.
THE bills from the other committees
with jurisdiction over appropriation Ellis
were increased from 1852, TAG. iN ~ for
the fiscal year 1914 to 1894. 1876. OS1.V7 for
1915. an increase of Sal. 45l. S16.s3 and an
increase over the estimates submitted by
the departments of &c. 1Oj. St356. The
same results are apparent during the
three years the House has been under
its present control"

David Rothschild Sought by
Police on ENLIGHTENMENT
Charge.
ALLEGED MlSAPPLICATl0N
OF THEATER'S CASH
German Consul at Baltimore Also
Prefers Serious Charge.
Missing Since September 8.

David Rothschild, about thirty eight
years old, a member of the bar, is being
sought by the police on a charge OF en-
bezzlement. warrant for his arrest was
issued this afternoon at the Police Court
on direction of United States Attorney
Wilson. Rothschld is reported to have
left Washington September 3. and his
present whereabouts are said to be I'M
known.
Large Fund Missing.
Complaint was also made yesterday to
United States Attorney Wilson by Wash
ington counsel for the German consul at
Baltimore concerning a fund of $4,000
said to have been received by Mr.. Roth
schild for the benefit of certain Germans
citizens. The money was to have been
paid over several months ago, it was said
but no settlement had been made.
One of the beneficaries was located
through an inquiry by Assistant United
States Attorney Hawken. to whom the
matter was referred by Mr.. Wilson. and
he is expected to reach Washington early
next week to prefer charge against MIR.
Rothschild.
Theater's Funds Involved.
In the course of his investigation. Mr..
Hawken- ran down a rumor that Mr..
Rothschild was accused of misappropriat-
ing funds of a partnership conducting the
Byjo Theater at 9Th and C streets north
west
Attorney N. S. Bowles. who knew Of
this alleged transaction, was summoned
by Mr.. Hawken and his explanation of
the circumstances led up to the Is
suance of the warrant today.
On the statement that Mr.. Roths-
child was believed to be absent from
the city Mr.. Hawken advised the issu-
to await the arrival of the complain
ant in the larger transaction.
Details Of Charge.
Embezzlement of 500 only is charged
in the warrant issued today on complaint
Of Frank Brown. The sum missing in
this case however, Is said to be nearly
$500
Mr.. Brown in his complaint charges
that September last David Rothsch.ld
was attorney for W. ]. Bunge. and re-
ceived $500 of the moneys of Bunge.
which sum, it is charged, he appropri-
ated to his own use.
According to the story told by Attor-
ney Bowles, Frank Brown rented the
ByJo Theater from the Herman estate
and later made a contract with Bunge
by which the latter was to take over the
lease of the showhouse. Rothschild, IL
Is said introduced to Bunge man
named 1. Burtscher as wealthy IN

executed between Bunge & Burtscher. 1t
Ii asserted. by which David Rothschild
was designated as attorney-in-fact to
collect and receive the income from the
theatrical venture. After paying ex-
penses Rothschild according to the
agreement, was to divide the balance be-
tween the partners.
Books kept by Rothschild of the re-
ceipts and expenditures fell into the
hands of Attorney Bowles. After he had
examined them he wrote to Mr.. Roth
schiId asking settlement between the
parties. The lawyer failed to respond
to the letter. it was said, and Attorney
Bowles, on inquiry. learned of the ru-
mored disappearance Of Mr.. Rothschild.
