CAUCUS Is CRITICISED.
National Voters League Secretary
Protests "Locked. Door Methods.

A protest against the locked door
methods of the democratic caucus
which will be held in the House of
Representatives tomorrow has been is
sued by Lynn Haines. secretary Of the
National Voters League.
This caucus" say& Mr.. Haines,
means another House controlled by a
few"
Further the statement says:
ITO a few old members the success
Of this closed caucus means continued
supremacy, continued control of coveted
chairmanships, of the best committee
positions and of all tho spoils and per-
Quisites of the dominant machine. This
closed caucus will not in any sense be
deliberative or democratic. It's pro-
gram Is cut and dried. Tho plums and
plunder connected with the organiza-
tion of the new Congress have already
been agreed upon, and parceled out
But 10 avoid possible failure. to avert
later insurgency when the new MEM
bers discover how the game has been
played, the old organization leaders al
ways arrange this secret proceeding
for the purpose Of binding new mem
bers to q ratification Of what already
has been done under cover Of their ig-
norance and the still more helpless
ignorance Of the public"

NEW WHEAT RECORD
AFTER OPENING DROP
Sharp Upturn Carries May Price to
$1.66. Following Plunge
Downward.

CHICAGO. February 3-Wheat prices
plunged wildly downward at the start
today as a result of peace rumors and
because of apparent chances that the
Dardanelles might be unexpectedly
thrown open for Russian shipments to
western Europe.
Before the lack of confirmation in
either case could be ascertained the
market dropped 81 cents for May and
cents for July.
Big margin calls had greatly re-
duced the volume Of wheat trading.
especially in May. Consequently eN-
element was not so intense as on
much less provocation at other times
and the market rallied in short order
when buying orders began to increase
The ensuing upturn carried May to
166, a new high record, and cents
above the low point touched in the
early trade July. which had dropped
5 cents to 1.3s, rallied to 1.4oA.
Other Grain Influenced.
Changes in other grain reflected the
course of wheat. but only in moderate
degree Commission houses quickly alb
sorbed the offerings of corn Prices for
that cereal started lsa1A of to 1sa u
up, and at one time showed a set
back of rs to ga. but afterward
overcame most of the loss.
Oats was more actively dealt IN
than for a long while. The reason
was the comparatively small resources
needed for transactions. The extreme
break in oats was 1A, half Of which
was later Cancelled.
Interest in provisions nearly disap-
peared on account of the grain furry.
Pork averaged somewhat higher. the
rest of the list lower.
