GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Wheat Strong, Selling One Cent
Higher, Even Though but Few
Cars Are Sold.
CORN AND OATS SELL BR1sKLY

OMAHA. April 10, 1915.
The receipts Of grain on the local ex-
chanee are gradually increasing as the
roads are getting in better condition to
maui the grain TO the country elevators
wheat was strong today selling at 1c
higher, but there we're only a few cars
reported sold.
Corn was unchanged to 1kc higher, while
oats sold &c higher and there was fairly
good demand for both OF these cereals.
"A surprise was given the grain trade
yesterday by the discovery that ell mar
kets have been oversold. Wheat bears
nave been unable to see any good in the
market, basing their opinion on the crop
outlook and apparently forgetting the
cash situation. Export houses. are not get
ting many orders and say II would be
hard 10 fill them for large amounts.
The flour trade showed evidence OF
waking up and more friendly feeling to
wheat apparently existed.
Ciearances we're: Wheat and flour equal
to 1,H2O00 bushels; corn, Al 900 bushels;
oats, $4,000 bushels.
Liverpool Close; Wheat. not quoted;

Primary corn receipts were 426, 900
bushels and shipments $4,000 bushels,

plank at the Democratic convention
next year.
1t is pointed out here that the pos
sibility Of prohibition as national
issue was uppermost in Mr.. Bryans
mind when he issued his statement.
Not alone was this indicated in his
demand for prohibition national COM
mitteemen, but also in the thinly veiled
statement that prohibition would ind
a place in the platform Of one OF the
two great parties in 1915.
President Wilson's Democratic frlenos
here dislike very much TO see the
liauor question brought into the lime
light. The President himself mas
never vet indicated which side OF the
fence he is on. He has stoutiy main
tanned that prohibition is state issue,
but as Governor of New Jersey ne sue
ceeded in having local option side
tracked.
Secretary Bryan, it is believed, will
not be satisfied until ne forces a pro-
hibition plank in the DEMOCRATIC plat
form. Daily friends are urging him TO
adopt this course. and thus far he has
only refrained from advocating It for
fear of offending President Wilson: As
yet the question has not brought. about
a split in the Cabinet, but II IS known
that other members are opposed TO IL.
Several Of them feel that Secretary
Bryan's zeal has raised an issue when
could Just as we'll have been avoided
next year.

THAW AGAIN ASKS
JURY SANITY TEST
Justice NeWburger Directs Per
kins to Show Cause on
April ~.

District Attorney Perkins has been
served with an order signed by Justice
Newburger, of the Supreme Court. di-
recting him 10 show cause on April II
why an order should not be issued di-
recting that the sanity and questions
Of fact raised by the holding OF Harry
K. Thaw be tried By jury.
The argument upon which the order
was issued is signed by Abel |. Smith,
counsel for Thaw. II sets forth that
Harry X. Thaw has never had trial
by jury as to his sanity o. insanity
.ubsequent 20 the alleged murder Of
ctanford White. and the determine
lions and inquiries as 20 his sanity,
made in the past without the aid OF a
Jury have resulted in directly con-
Aicting conclusions.
at is therefore submitted con
tinues the argument, that Harry K.
Thaw should be accorded the right OF
trial by Jury on the issue of his sanity,
and that this method Of trial will set
st rest once and for all the question as
20 the sanity or insanity of Harry h.
Thaw."
To this are appended the findings OF
the Mcclure commission, which pro-
rounced Thaw sane.

RIGHT TO PREVAIL,
WILSON CONFIDENT
President Tells M. p. Con
ference the War Will
Reveal the Truth.

Washington. April s.-Thst right
eousness would prevail in the great
European struggle was the thought ex-
pressed by President Wilson in an ad-
dress delivered before the Maryland
Annual Conference OF the Methodist
Protestant Church here tonight.
1T would be impossible" said the
President, "for men to 20 through
what men are going through on the
battlehelds OF Europe and struggle
through the present dark night of their
terrible struggle If il we're not that
they saw. or thought that they saw,
the broadening of light where the
morning should come up, and believed
that they were standing, each on his
side Of the contest, for some eternal
principle OF right. Then all about
them, all about US. there sits the silent,
waiting tribunal which is going TO ut
ter the ultimate judgment upon this
struggle-the great tribunal Of the
opinion OF the world; and fancy

may be that | do truly see, great spirit

come of this thing to asNert themselves,

spirits.
"No man is wise enough to pro-
nounce judgment, but we can all hold
our spirits in readiness to accept the
truth when it dawns on US and is re-
vealed to us in the outcome Of this
titanic struggle"
The President WAS followed by Sec
rotary of State Bryan, who was intro
duced as Americas Prince of Preacher
orators"
Mr. Bryan told his hearers that he
liked to talk on religious subjects.
But my opponents" he remarked.
"have the habit of saying that when
try to make a political speech ! preach
a sermon and when preach sermon
! talk politics"
Mr.. Bryan then delivered his newest
lecture-serm0n, later to be heard on
the Chautauqua circuit. Its title was

WEAK TEA G0ADS

Prisoner, Poorly Fed at Kingston
Detention Camp, Escapes

termed there now. Blanck, who was the
655th. is at liberty in New York to-day.
The Santa Marta. Of the United Fruit
Company Line, brought him in yester-
day. The immigration authorities IN
tercepted him on his arrival, but after
an examination allowed him to land.
The rations at the field prison were
700 much for Banck.

Last week the Santa Marta sailed
into Kingston Harbor. Blanck recog-
nized his old vessel.
The prisoner climbed a hawser over
the side of the fruit steamer and hid
under a boat. When two days out at
sea he showed himself. An old ship
mate told the captain. and the latter
put him TO work. The authorities here
decided he was sailor and that there
was no reason why he should not be

While District Attorney Thomas Ga

planned to ask Governor Whitman to
send in special attorney general to

discrepancies Controller Eugene Travis
reports he has found in the ex-boss' S
books. Newman will consult other
members Of the haverstr.w Taxpayers
Association, which brought the state
examiners to town. before asking for
special attorney general.
Mr.. Gagan. when seen at his home,
"Htit ne 10 SuHeIlHB from HeT'Ouo
break down, yesterday promised most
emphatically 10 go after Cleary.
When asked if he intended to submit
information about the discrepancies to
the Grand Jury which convenes at New
City Monday, he responded:
Submit it? Ny God, I'm only 700
glad TO get a chance TO submit any
thing on Cleary or any Of his crooked
crowd"
He said he would act just as soon "a
he gets official information from the
Controller. "Tll go before the Grand
Jury myself Monday" he added. He
also declared he would be ready then
TO proceed against Bernard Fox, an
eyewitness of the shooting, whom he
has had arrested accused of perjuring
himself at the coroner's inquest.
Examiners Calhoun and Sachs, who
uncovered Cleary's alleged misappro-
priations, will finish their examination
Of the books by tomorrow. The only
accounts they can find are for the last
three years, and these show glaring
conversions, it is alleged. There is no
telling how much of the towns money
went astray during the first thirteen
years Cleary was in office. for all
records have been removed or de-
stroyed. Cleary's whereabouts re-
NAMED mystery yesterday. His
brother, Ambrose, who succeeded him
as town clerk, told inquirers that

District Attorney Gagan said he had
no idea where Cleary was.

WHO GOT PATHETIC KISS?
II Wasn't Miss Betty Marshall,
Court Decides.

In accordance with his decision Of
the day before, Justice Whitaker yes
terday signed the decree of separation
awarded to Mrs. Mary 3. MacNamara
in her action against Henry +. Mac
Namara. a stock broker. The wife will
receive $50 week alimony
Mrs. MacNamara alleged that her
husband kissed a chorus girl at the
stage door of the Casino Theatre. She
called this a pathetic kiss" meaning
thereby, she said. that her husband
implanted the kiss as though he was
losing his last friend. MacNamara ad-
mitted the oscillation, but it will never
be generally known who the chorus
girl was that was SO favored.
Mrs. MacNamars said she was Miss
Betty Marshall. but there was mis-
take in the identity of the young
woman. and the court ordered the
name Of Miss Marshall stricken from
the record of the case. as the reference
to her was not justified.
