termined effort to bring about the
removal Of the capital OF Wyoming
from Cheyenne to Caspar IS to be in
augurated during the coming session
OF the legislature by Representative
Stephen Tobln and Robert Grieve.
They plan to introduce resolution
submitting capital removal consti-
tutlonal amendment TO the voters at
the 1915 elections. To becomeact i've
the bill must receive a vote of two
thirds OF each house OF the legislature
and the amenment must receive a

wheat trade with unusual activity al
times and a number Of quick turns
in the market covering a range Of

that some Of the seaboard exporters
were trying to resell but not much Of
that sort of business was confirmed.
A large element in the trade seemed
to feel that the recent advance was
too fast-that the market was getting
away from the exporters and a re-
action was in order. On the breaks
influential buying orders came into
the market and prices rebounded as
fast as they had declined. Every
thing considered the support was ex-
cellent on the breaks.
There was a sharp dip in corn Of
about 3-4c on first trades, with COM
plete recovery to Tuesday prices an
hour later. Liverpool spot and futures

Of 100000 bushels export sales here

(Written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK. Jan. THE grand
old dope box gets another shaking up.
A careful perusal Of the Federal
league batting averages for the season
OF 1914. recently made public by the
genial Mr. Gilmore will shake ones
faith in that old adage that figures
don't lie" They must not lie but
they certainly mystify when one gazes
over the marks set up by some OF the
batsmen in the third loop last year.
Athletes who clubbed out three hum
dred and better averages in the Ma
tional and American league slumped
down in the two fifty class in the Fed
league. And on the other hand some
who couldn't even pile up two hun
dred mark in the Johnson and Tener
circuit slugged for three hundred and
more in the third league. That's where
the dope box gets a shaking up.
The case OF Josephus Tinker is one
Of the glaring kind. Along with his
woes as manager OF the Cincinnati
Reds in 1918 Joe managed to eke out
a puny average OF .3l7 against Nation
al league pitching Wen. Joe himself
and several others thought what he
would do TO the twirlers in the Fed
eral league would be shame IL was
not the kind Of shame that was
predicted. Tinker managed to amass
an average Of just .259 in the Gilmore
circuit a fall OF 5S points from his
work in the National league.
Danny Murphy, once a star in the
Athletic outfield. was a little more
consistent. He walloped the leather
for .S22 with the Athletics in 1913.
Last year with the Brookfeds he club
bed out mark of .311. Art Criggs,
in the International league in 1913,
pounded .2s2 Last season with the
Feds he dropped to .2S2. George Sto-
vail, in his last year in the American
league, had mark of .2S7. AS the
leader of the Kansas City Fed tribe
in 1914 he could pile up an average
of but .270.
Those named are some of the ones
who went down the ladder There
are on the other hand some who went
up even farther than the others de-
scended. or these Hal Chase stands
out the most prominent In 1913 in !
Ban Johnsons loop, the first sacker
who once was the pride of Gotham
slammed the ball for an average of
,257. Last season. with the Buffalo !
Feds he returned to his form Of for
mer days with the Yankees by chalk
ing up an average of 1854.
Steve Yerks was another who found |
the brand OF pitching on the Federal
leage to his liking. Last season with
the Pittsburg Feds he slammed the
ball for an average OF 1913. His mark
in the American league in 1913 was
.267, giving him a gain of sixty-six
points,
Frank LaPorte. formerly of the st
Louis Browns and the Washington
Senators. batted 1850 in the American
league. with Indianapolis, the Fed
league pennant winners last season.
he was good for mark of .S11.
Art Wilson, when he was with the
giants in 1918, couldn't even top the
two hundred mark. his average being |

DISCHARGED BY COURT.
Lack of Evidence in Charge of Arson
 Against GreeneviIle Greek.

For lack of evidence, Arthur Kupre- ros, arrested Friday night charged with arson, was discharged at the Saturday morning session of the city court by Judge J. H. Barnes. Kupreros was charged with having set fire on Thurs day night to the bakery operated by c. Costandini in the building on North Main street owned by James DAtri. The proprietor of the bakery claimed he saw the man sinking away from the building a night or two before the fire, and that a shirt was found there like one Kupreros used to wear, but as this was not evidence enough to warrant the holding of the man he was given his freedom. E. T. Burke was his attorney.
 George Bates. S5, and Thomas John- son. 26, both hailing from Pendleton Hill, were before the court charged with stealing silverware and household goods from the home of Mrs. Susie Hicks on Thames street. The theft was denied by both men. Johnson was discharged, but Bates was found guilty and fined $T and costs, the total amounting to about $50. which was paid by Bates employer. Chief Linton recovered all the silverware.
