TODAY'S MARKET REPORT,

Chicago, July 26.-wHEAT--wheat
prices declined rapidly today after an
early advance. The setback was due in
the main to estimates that the receipts
here today would be big scale. Aggre-
eating $50 loads. Higher quotations
at the start were due to light world ship
ments and to reports that the Italian gov
eminent had decided to make large pur-
chases abroad. After opening Ac off to
lie up, the market scored further gains,
and then receded well below Saturdays
level all around.
Afterward values underwent a further
drop as result of the torpedoing of an
American ship by a German submarine. The
close was unsettled, "a C to 23sc under Sat
urday's close.
CORN-Corn held comparatively steady.
What changes there were seemed to be
caused by the action of wheat. Opening
prices, which ranged from a shade decline
to sc advance, were followed by slight
general down turn.
The close was weak, A@Ac to 2Ac net
lower.
OATS-Oats swayed with corn and
wheat. Fluctuations, however, were mar
row.
VISIOINS-Liquidatin sales by
holders brought out a sharp break in the
pork market. Values went the lowest since
1908. As a result, lard and ribs weakened
to a material extent.

Earl AkerS Has Plan to Save
States Money.
Would Compel Publicity in
Matter of Expenditures.
TAXPAYER is IN IGNORANCE
He Doesn't Know What Be-
comes of Cash Paid In.
May Take 1t Up With the Next
Legislature.

Economy through publicity. That is
the plan of Earl Akers, state treas
urer, who would reduce extravaganza
in state departments through the pub
LEGATION of all expense items by state
employees. AkerS believer his plan
will save the state thousand of dollars
annually and will urge the passage of
law compelling publishing of state
reports.
There are many things about the
state departments and their expenses
of which the taxpayers are not aware,
Akers declared today in discussion
of state expenses. If the voter could
see these expense items spread out
before him. he would understand how
his money is used and it would he but
a short time until a real campaign OF
industry is launched in the state de-
partments. That is the theory upon
which Akers will work in urging the
use of the spotlight of publicity on
state expenses.
1.-The average tax payer doesn
know a thing about the expenditure
of the states money" said Akers. IF
he did there would be a revolution in
some departments. All the tax payer
knows is that the state collects GER
tain lump sum of money each year Tor
general running expenses. That IS all
he knows. He doesn't know the de-
partments to which it is distributed, or
the manner in which it is used after
it is received.
Some of those items would start
something in Kansas continued the
treasurer. 1T would mean demand
for the elimination of some useless
boards and commissions and pubicG-
ton of the expenses would soon bring
a demand for economy from the in
side as we'll as from the outside.
IF the state employed the system
used by the counties and published an
itemized record of ali expenditures
each month, it would mean the great
est saving the state has ever known.
1t might cost $1,000 a year to pub
! lish these items. But you can't ina
| CINE the money it would save.
| THE average politician or man in a
! department won't eat very many $3.50
| meals at the states expense if he
knows the voters are going to read of
it in the monthly report. The craze
| for junketing ard the useless trips
and heavy expenses of several boards
| and commissions would be cut to the
| minimum, once the expense of these
| trips was iteHized~and published" -
A statutory provision would be
necessary to put in operation the plan
| advanced by the state treasurer.
Akers believes the publication of state
expense accounts would prove eco
nomical and he may urge the passage
| of a law by the 1917 legislature which
will compel the publication of reports.

Miners Object to Use of Machine in

Both state and federal labor depart

ment today by Paul Mcbride state
labor commissioner. The investiga-

Recently complaints were flled

that 5000 miners IN the Crawford-
Cherokee county fields have been pro
vided with work only a portion of the
time. The complaint, which came
from union miners. asserted that
stripping processes had been used by
GENERATORS and that by the use OF
steam shovels, mine owners had been
running short hours and employing
fewer men. BY using steam shovels,
it was stated that the coal was re
moved at so cents ton less than by
the old process.

Heartrending Sights on Identi-
ficatiOn of EaStland'S Dead.
Thousands Seek Dear Ones in
Big ArmOry MOrgue.
BODIES LAID SIDE BY SIDE
GrOans and Clasps Told of Find
ing of Lost.
Even EmbaImerS Shrunk From
Sight of Infant Victims.

Chicago, July 26.-Sorrow which
spread over the city with the East
land disaster and engulfed thousand
homes with grief, found most poignant
expression in the presence of the ST.
lent forms of the victims laid out IN
the drill hall of the Second regiment
armory, Chicago's temporary morgue.
Side by side lay the dead. Among
them walked anxious hundreds seek
ing to identify a loved one and hop
ing they might not succeed. Time and
again a group would pause beside a
pitiful bundle. There would be a gasp,
a low voiced exclamation, flow of
tears, and another would be taken
from the list of unidentified dead and
placed in the known column.
There was little sign of violent emo
ton, although everywhere the tense
ness of repression was apparent. Men
and women, boys and girls, and even
little ones, bereft in many cases of
all their loved ones, though they
shook with sobs, made no Outcry as
they beheId their dead. Some few
broke down under the strain and were
cared for by corps of Red Cross
nurses stationed in a room near the
entrance. But of the thousands who
through the night and day visited the
armory, not more than a hundred
needed aid.
Many of the bodies bore no signs of
struggle. Calm and still, their faces
lay upturned, uncovered to aid in
identification. Here and there, how
every, was one with distorted limbs,
with bruised head or torso.
Perhaps the most pitiful of the
many sad scenes, were the bodies of
the little ones, mere babies, who were
caught in the crowded cabins of the
overturned boat. For several hours,
two of these little ones lay with Smil
ing, upturned faces. near where the
embalmers were busy. Finally the
pitiful sight became too much for the
nerves of even those most used to
scenes of death and the tiny forms
were carried to more remote part of
the hall.
One Woman Lost All.
In the Red Cross room, there were
many scenes of sorrow. One woman,
we'll along in years, kept repeating
'All gone! Husband, son, his wife
and their two children" Time after
time she said this but no tears fell and
at last she slowly left the place still
murmuring "Au gomez
Several times through the day the
nurses were obliged TO quiet some who
became hiysterical. Several women
tainted, some few screamed and one
man, bowed with years, screamed and
struggled with those about him when
he saw the bodies of his wife and
children,
