World Court Congress Backs
Wilson i'm His Stand.
Prominent Members Say Nation
Will Be With Him Always.
APPEALS To PATRIOTISM
n. Y. Delegate Calls on All Ma
tiOnalities to Support Flag.
Playing of "Star Spangled Ban
ner" Produces Touching Scene.

Cleveland, May IA. -Prominent
delegates to the World Court congress
read President Wilson's note to Ger
many today and all agreed that what
ever contingency arises the govern
ment would receive the first support
of the nation.
The American public will stand
back of the government in any eX-
igencies which arise said John Hays
Hammond, chairman of the charges.
I'm the present situation the solid
support of America is at the command
of President Wilson and leaders in the
social and economic life undoubtedly
will be glad to lend him the support
of their patriotic and helpful counsel
4 have no doubt in the absence of
congress the president is enlisting the
counsel of men experienced in inter
national affairs and representing all
parties and all sentiments
Diplomat Praises Democrat
Henry Lane Wilson, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, said
The note to Germany is an excel
iently worded state document Amer
at a sacrifice of honor and dignity and
the note seems to express this attitude
If the situation develops to that
point where it is impossible to avoid
conflict, the American people will
stand solidly behind the government
In such IN event, ancestry, religion
and politics will have, in my opinion
absolutely no influence on the attitude
of our citizenry, hyphenated or other
wise
DR.. John Wesley Hill of New York
said:
1T is to be hoped that this crisis
will be passed without a serious break
in the long standing friendship exist
ing between Germany and the United
States. Self respect and national hon
or, however, rise above all other con-
slderations and as President Wilson
asserts and defends them, he is as
sured of the sympathy and support of
the American people,
The world court congress TODAY en-
tered on the third and last day of its
session. DIR. Albert Shaw, DR.. Harry
A. Garfield. Prof. jeremiah jerks and
Prof Samuel T. Dutton were speakers
at the days sessions. Tonight John
Mitchell, Dr. John Wesley Hill, Gener-
al Ballington Booth and Dr. Charles F.
Thwing will be the speakers
Delegates to the congress burst into wild
applause thursday afternoon when DR.
John Wesley Hill, of New York in an i'm
promptu speech, pointed dramatically to
a huge American flag above his head and
shouted
ANY English American, German Ameri
can, French American or other hyphenated
American who does not support that flag
IN the present situation is unworthy of the
citizenship he owns
An orchestra in an alcove began the
strains of The Star Spangled Banner''
ana the audience rose and joined in singing
the song Many wept aloud.

He Has Been a Teacher in the High
School IL Years.

Professor Eugene l.. Cowdrick, in

peka high school, died yesterday after

several weeks ago.
Mr.. Cowdrick is survived by his wife
and one son, Edward s. Cowdrick, of
Denver, who was with his father at
the time of his death. Edward Cowd-
rick is employed in the office of the

New York Stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, May 14.-STOCKS-
After the first hour the market settled
into a state of extreme dullness. War
stocks went lower, but the more seasoned
issues made half way recoveries from
lowest prices. Evidently much of the early
selling originated from speculative quar-
ters with an admiXture of foreign offer
ings. In point of fact, London,s market
for American securities was firm with
gains in some of the high grade issues.
Local traders were inclined to await fur
Their news from abroad before taking a
stand on ither side of the market. Prices
fell again just before midday.
Bonds were heavy
Latest development in the situation be-
tween this country and Germany were re-
Elected in the nervous tone of the stock
markt at today's opening. Initial prices
were mostly lower, but in few. in
stances did declines go beyond fractions
Later however, greater heaviness was
shown a number of stocks falling a point
or more. United States Steel was the only
leader to open with a large offering, H.

RIPLEY WASN'T HERE.
"AIl Smiles" Interview With Santa Fe
President Only Myth.

A report gained circulation in Topeka
today that e. p. Ripley, president of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway,
was in Topeka last evening. The report
emulated from first page column lon
interview published in Topeka paper this
morning. The interview quoted Mr. Ripley
at great length and pictured the genial
president all in smiles.
With all due respect to the itinerary of
the Santa Fe executive and its care-free
route via the EmpOria cutoff, it must be
stated that Mr. Ripley has not been in
Topeka since the directors meeting last
October.
The clipping facilities of the Topeka
newspaper therefore presented a perfectly
good canned interview credited unfor-
tunately to man who failed to view the
state house dome.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, May 14.-WHEAT-Restr
trading and unsettled prices were features
today in the wheat market here The in
fluence of the uncertainty attached to the
diplomatic situation appeared to be large
ly responsible both for limiting the vol
ume of business and for irregularity of
quotations. Extreme bullish reports con-
in Kansas and Nebraska had much to do
with a temporary bulge in new crop flu
lures. The opening, which varied from lie
decline to 1kc advance, was followed by
q further setback in the May delivery and
a decided gain in July, with comparative
steadiness later at about last nights levi
all around
Afterward the strength of the new crop
deliveries became more pronounced but
late assertions of comparatively little crop
damage in Kansas formed a signal for
heavier selling Lowering of export bids
tended also to deprive the market of sup
port. The close was unsettled at 1B@2Rc
under last night.
CORN-Price changes in corn were I'M
important. Transactions light. The mar
ket seemed disposed to keep within sc
either way from last nights figures.
Favorable weather for planting tended
later to pull down prices, and so also did
slowness of cash demand. The close was
nervous at "a to &c net decline.
OATS-Oats had the same action
corn. Trade was almost wholly of scat
tering character.
PROVISIONS-Prov advanced
little with hogs. There was no decided
pressure to sell.

MINER KILLED IN ACCIDENT AT
 THE RUTH
LIFE CRUSHED OUT IN AN INSTANT BY CAVE-IN OF OVER FOUR TONS OF FORMATION.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

By disregarding the warning given by miners at the Ruth camp to not enter the 135-foot level until the crew was ready, John Carlson sacrificed his life, yesterday afternoon.
 A few minutes after 12 o'clock he stated he would go below to remove a huge boulder from the hanging wall that interfered with the track on that level, that timbering might be carried on without delay as well as mucking A few minutes before the shift was ready to resume work a mufhed sound emanated from that zone, and instantly all on top were lowered. A cave-in had occurred, and the body of Carlson was found buried underneath, with life extinct.
 It is presumed he shot away the boulder that held at least four tons of the formation in place, which in stantly fell, covering him. The de- ceased was aged about 6 years, and until recently had followed placer mining along Indian creek, being a new arrival in the country
 The news was brought to the city immediately by w. s. Wilhelm, gen cral manager of the company, who expressed deep regret over this ac- cident at his camp, which was the first since he assumed charge. Judge McLane was summoned from this city, to hold an inquest, the verdict of the jury being in accordance with the above facts, without attaching any liability to the management of the property.

MIMIC WARFARE HAS USUAL
 OUTCOME
(From Tuesdays Daiiy.)


 Another case of a loaded cartridge slipping into a bunch of blank ones was that of yesterday afternoon, when Fay Harbeson, the 13-yearold son oi MT. and Mrs. George Harbcson. was carried home with a bullet in his left forearm
 The wounded boy with several companions was indulging in sham fight with 22-calibre rifles yesterday afternoon along North Alarcon street, when it was understood, of course, there were to be no live cartridges used in the field manoeuvers of the mimic fray. Inadvertently, of course, in the excitement, stray one hap pened to get into the magazine, and when it was exploded, the inevitable accident followed
 The bullet in the boys arms was not extracted, and while the wound is quite painful, no harm is anticipat- ed except from complications that may arise Under the circumstances his escape from a serious fate is con sidered as miraculous, by the bullet not entering vital part of his body. The youthful sufferer was disinclined to give but meager particulars to his physician.
