CHARGE OF PERJURY.
Seized After Telling Grand Jury
He Really Saw Guns Aboard

II look ,pon this AFFAIR as joke. You

man.
He was arrested as he left the Fed
eral grand jury room late yesterday.
He had been telling the Jurors details

Mr.. Wood refused to answer ques-
tions as to how high in German official

said, however, the Investigation would
be sweeping. and probably will extend
over several weeks.

never was on the Lusitania.
Stahl was the only witness before the
grand Jury. He stuck to the text OF
his affidavit, and marked the places on

big guns.
Koenig obtained the affidavit from
stahl. Mr.. Sanford said he knew
nothing of the proceedings against
Koenir until he saw the complaint

Futures opened steady: October

Private reports from the southwest
were very conflicting as to the probable
effects of the storm, some emphasizing
the damage to open cotton. while others
predicted beneficial results from the
breaking Of the drouth, and trading here
remained very quiet during the morning.
Prices ruled steady. however, with &C

out saying. Moreover, it is equally
certain that these same holders have

longing eyes, watching for the long
desired chance to get out even.
Until such time stock comes out III

WHEAT SLUMPS SHARPLY
ON HARVEST CONDITIONS
Weather in the Dakotas and Mime

Have Little Help.

CHICAGO, August 19.-Auspicicus
harvest conditions for the spring crop
turned the wheat market today sharply
down grade. The weather in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota was reported to
be ideal. with every day adding to the
likelihood of a big final yield. Pre-
dictions of further decrease in the
amount Of wheat on ocean passage
failed to be of much help to the bulls.
Opening prices, which ranged from
Il to lower. with September at
1864 to 1.O5A and December at 1.04A
to LOS. were followed by a moderate
additional setback all around.
Corn Eases Off With Wheat.
Corn eased off with wheat. Trade was
rather small. After opening unchanged

the market underwent something of q
general decline.
Buying on resting orders. though,
gradually checked the fall.
Provisions tended lower. influenced
by the weakness Of hogs and grain.
The chief pressure TO sell was on ribs.
Later, however, the market advanced
to material extent. Covering by
shorts was chiefly responsible for the
rally.
Afterward signs of fair amount Of
export buying rallied the wheat mar
ket a little. but the sinking of the
steamer Arabic brought about fresh
downturn in prices. The close was I'M

September at 1.05as and December
