JOHN PHILIP soUsA, 81.
Noted Band Leader Reaches Another
Milepost in Lies Journey,

Today is the sixty-frst anniversary
of the birth of John Philip Sousa, at
one time leader of the United States
Marine Band, and popularity known as
the March King Immigrants come
ashore at Ellis Island whistling airs
of which this native of Washington is
the author, and, had it not been for
his facility in thinking out stirring
measures, inaugural parades ever since
the war probably would have come up
Pennsylvania avenue to Marching
Through Georgia."
In honor of the event most of the
orchestras throughout the country
have announced that they will play one
or more of his marches today in the
theaters or other places where they
perform. AS the United States Marine
Band is not in the city. and today is
band holiday for the musicians of both
the Engineer Corps and cavalry sta
toned here. these organizations can
not participate.

found loose in the soil. and they used
it to paint their cheeks to improve
their looks. While in the act of adorn-
ing her cheeks with the face paint
one woman accidentally dropped bit
into a fire and bead Of metallic cop

EFFECT OF SEAMAN'SLAW
ON EASTLAND INQUIRY
Secretary Redfeld Announces Sus-
pension Of Investigation by Steam.
boat Inspection Service.

Investigation of the steamboat in
spection service of the great lakes,
which was started shortly after the
Eastland disaster at Chicago. under the
direction of a special committee of SUI
peryising inspectors of the service, has
been cut short as a result of the effec-
tive date of the seaman's law. Secre-
|tary Redfield today said that he had
been forced to order the inspectors to
return to their stations. He added that
he had received no report from them
to date, but that he would ask for Il
report of progress up to the time they
had to suspend their Investigation. 1t
was his understanding, he said, that
the committee was making a special
inspection of every vessel on the great
lakes, and at the time the board was
discontinued they had worked as far
west as Cleveland, Ohio.
Would Welcome Probe by Congress.
In connection with this investigation,
Secretary Redtield said that he would
welcome a congressional investigation
of the service, declaring that it would
give him an opportunity of giving to
Congress an idea of the difficulties I'M
der which the service works. He de-
clared that he had no intimation that
Congress proposed to make an lnveStl-
cation.
The subcommittee on steamboat in
spection of the Department of Com
merce committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, accord
ing to Secretary Redfeld, now is con-
Quoting inquiry into the steamboat in
spection service. N. Sumner Myrick,
a marine lawyer of Boston, is now
going over the records of the depart
ment in connection with the investiga-
ton. Secretary Redfeld said that any
Investigators would find the open door
and there was nothing to hide.

FRENCH FLOUR PURCHASE
ADVANCES WHEAT PRICES
Unsettled Weather Prospects Also
Count Against Bears-sag at
the Opening Today.

CHICAGO, November 6.-Assertions
that the French government had pur-
chased 100000 barrels of flour in the
United States lifted the wheat market
today after an early sag. Prospects of
unsettled weather counted also against
the bears. The temporary weakness
at the start was ascribed to the out
look for enlarged receipts here next
week.
Opening prices, which ranged from
FAX off to q up, with December at
1.04M to 1.04X, and May at 1.05h to
1.05k, were followed by a moderate
general decline and then an advance
to- well above last nights level all
around.
iowa Reports Strengthen Corn.
Bullish crop reports from Iowa gave
strength to corn. There were also ad-
vices of improved domestic call in the
west. After opening unchanged to
BaA higher, the market continued to
harden.
Oats developed firmness on account of
sympathy with other grain. Selling was
only scattering.
Provisions were dull and steady.
Traders seemed to be governed by the
absence of any change in the price of
hogs.
Subsequently setback took place as
a result of an expected big increase of
the visible supply total on Monday.
The finish was unsettled at the same
as yesterdays close to " decline.
The corn market reacted later when
wheat turned down grade. The close
was nervous, at shade down to Mass
advance, as compared with yesterday
close.

Week of Alternating Movements.

Speculative sentiment blew hot and
cold during the week, with alternate
advances and declines. Metal stocks
and shares of leading railways led an
upward movement. which was largely
effaced on realizing sales.
War specialties were generally heavy,
with some pronounced recessions
The decline in the latter issues was
ascribed to the publication of several
financial reports by war contract COM
panies which plainly indicated that the
mid-year advance had it's basis in large
part on exaggerated statements of
prospective profits.
