RECORD.|N WHEAT
PRICES SMASHED
May Crops Soar to $1.40 a
BusheI After Second Wave
of Buying.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Smashing of
war record prices for wheat began
promptly today at the first gong on
change. Opening quotations were
X to rs cents above last night. May
wheat, the leading option, jumped to
$1.39s4, as against $1.3S5s, the tip-top
for yesterday.
Reports of an ultimatum to Turkey
by Italy had an explosive effect with
buyers.
On a second wave of buying, May
wheat went to $40 bushel. the high
est figures, with few exceptions. in
fifty years, the parallel thus going
back broadly to the American Civil
War. Today'5 high prices were sup
ported by dispatches telling OF excite
rnent in the grain trade at Liverpool,
and admitting that demand there was
keen.
In the next hour another cent
bushel was added to previous values,
so that May wheat here was quoted
at s1.41 a bushel. Meanwhile it was
announced that bids from Great
Britain at the American seaboard
had risen four cents, as compared
with yesterday. 1t was also stated
that a cargo of durum wheat had
been sold at the rate of $2.07
bushel delivered in Italy. Only

TO COMPROMISE
FIRMS CLAIMS
Newark Complainant Wins at
Ptsahe Utility Hearing---other
Cases Heard.

The New Jersey Public Utility
Commission, sitting In this city, to-
day hear, testimony in the case Of
Schloss. Held & Schloss. Newark
commission merchants. against the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. The
complaint Is based on a change in
rates on shipments of live stock,
which, 1t is alleged. was put into ef-
feet without notice to shippers. On
this basis the complainant sought a
rebate.
The railroad holds that 1t complied
with the law in publishing notice of
the change in rates. The local mer-
chants, however, held that personal
notice also should have been given in
view Of the fact that the rates were
changed from rate basis to car
load basis. which increased the cost of
shipments ten fold in shipments Of
small lots.
e. N. Colyer. chairman of the off,
cial classification committee, COM
posed Of fifteen traffic officers Of rail-
roads on the Atlantic seaboard, ex-
plsined the new classification of live
stock shipments to which the New
ark merchants objected.
The railroad, through its counsel,
Jackson Reynolds, announced it did
not wish the classification disturbed,
and was willing to settle the claims
of the complainant by compromise.
To this the commission agreed.
Norwood B. Smith, representing
Mrs. e. W. Howell. who conducts a
boarding house in East Orange, and
is dissatisfied with the rates charged
her for ;'semi-puplic pay station"
telephone she has In her home,
waived proceedings with Mrs. How
ellis complaint on being informed by
Commissioner Treacy that his case
was practically the same as the case
of the National Turn Verein of this
city against the New York Telephone
Company, which the commission now
has under advisement. By Mrs. How
ellis contract she pays to the tele-
phone company $12 a year for the
rental Of the telephone, and must
guarantee s62.50 for money dropped in
the coin box.
The commission also heard the COM
plaint of the city of Elizabeth against
the Public Service Electric Company
for rates charged the city for new
street lamps.
L. d. Howard Gilmour, for the cleo
trio company, put on the stand Dud-
ley Farrand, general manager of the
Public Service Electric Company, to
explain the basis on which the rates
complained of are charged.

ALL EYES WILL
TURN TOWARD
COUNCIL MEET
Lively Developments Expected
Over Mayor Raymond's
Appointments.

1t is expected that there will be
lively doings" at the meeting of the
Common Council tonight. Mayor
Raymond, 1t is stated, will stand for
the appointments already announced
by him. That the Democratic ma
jority of the council will "hold up"
the Democratic bipartisan board ap-
pointments Is certain.
Nathan Kussy, who is slated as u
Democrat for police commissioner.
ship, had a lengthy conference with
Mayor Raymond this forenoon. The
Common Council will not approve his
name, according to all reports, and
several Of the Republican aldermen
are working to have the Mayor SUBJ
stitute the name of another in lieu of
Mr.. Kussy.
It is also predicted that when the
name of John l.. Reid Is presented for
confirmation as a police commission
er, more fur will fly. Alderman E.
Garfield Clifford is against the Reid
app ointment. Gther Republican al
dermen, however, are In favor of Mr..
Reid. As far as the Democratic
members are concerned, 1t Is believed
that they will vote 10 confirm the
name of Mr.. Reid as well as all other
Republican appointees with the ex-
ception of August Soffel for city audi
tor.
According to the "tip" being hand
ed out, the name OF August Soffel will
be again tabled"
Although Mayor Raymond will send
lengthy message to the council rela-
tive to his appointments, nothing
could be CLEANED as to what course he
will pursue. 1t is emphasized that he
will not withdraw any of the names
sent to the council last week by him.
Last week Mayor Raymond stated
that in his belief he could name some
of the appointees without the confir-
nation of the council City Counsel
Spaulding Frazer has been working
on the law governing appointments,
but no statement has been issued by
him as yet. 1t Is believed the COM
munication sent by the mayor to the
Common Counoil will bear on this
topic.
1t was said last night by a close
connection of Miles f. Quinn, of the
Fourth ward, that he was as good as
booked to take Nathan Kussy's place
on the Raymond slate for police COM
missioner. Others declared, how
ever, that the choice rested between
Patrick Fl. Corish and James Caf-
frey. These representations being
made In the face of the mayors
declaration that he would not with
draw Mr.. Kussy's name, is setting
many people guessing.
There seems to be no discussion
whatever over Board of Health se-
lections, and it is agreed that Rob-
ert L. Ross may go through as tax
commissioner.

TO Be DECIDED
Shuberts Promise Statement
About Disposition of New
ark Playhouse. y

The secrecy enveloping the report
ed $10.0O0,000 merger of the Shubert
and Klaw & Erlanger theatrical in
terests, the apparently immediate re-
suit of which will be the indefinite
closing of the Newark Theatre after
tomorrow nights show, as was pub
lished yesterday exclusively In the
Evening Star, was lifted a wee bit
today.
An Evening Star reporter was in
formed at the office of Sam s. and
Lee Shubert. Inc, 225 West Forty
fifth street, New York, that an an
nouncement on the subject would be
made in a few days.
This is the nearest approach to an
admission so far made by any per-
son directly connected with any of
the parties In interest, concerning the
existence of such a merger.
George w. Robbins. manager Of the
Newark, said. he had heard nothing
further on the subject except that he
was to refer to Klaw & Erlanger all
persons making inquiry about 1t.
AT Klaw & Erlanger's Office, in New
York, the press representatives de-
clined to make any statement other
than that there was nothing to be
said. When the reporter asked to be
allowed to see either Mr.. I<law or Mr..
Erlanger, or their direct representa-
tives, the press representative bristled
up and said: ~ am the one whom
you must see in this matter"
Lee Ottolengui, manager Of the
Shubert Theatre, and who had pre-
cedea Mr.. Robbins as manager of the
Newark, said he, too, was utterly in
the dark concerning the reported
merger or as to what effect 1t would
have upon local theatres.

KAISER EXPLAINS
MERCER AFFAIR
IN VATICAN NOTE
Says Cardinal Was Merely
Asked to Refrain from Max
ing Rule Difficult.

ROME, Jan. s.-The German gov
ernment has sent to the Vatican an
explanation of the Mercier incident,
in which 1t says that there is abso-
lutely no truth in the report that the
cardinal was ever arrested by the Ger
man authorities in Belgium, or even
confined to his own palace or prevent
ed from leaving 1t.
Continuing, this explanation says:
"The German authorities, entrusted
with the most delicate and difficult
task of maintaining order in Belgium
and convincing the hostile population
of that country of their sincere desire
for their good, simply addressed to
Cardinal Mercier a most deferentiai
prayer that he abstain from any atti-
tude which might make difficult the
accomplishment Of their duty, or ulti-
mately entail risk to the Belgian peo-
ple."
In following this course the Ger
mans, the explanation goes on, had in
mind the fulflment of the Christian
duty. which must be particularly
dear to minister of the church, of
avoiding the shedding of blood.
ANY agitation or tumult arising
from even an indirect cause" the Ger
man communication says, in conclu-
sion,, will render necessary severe
measures on the part. of the troops for
the restoration of order"
THE HAGUE. Jan. (via London).
The pastoral letter of Cardinal Mer-
cier was published here today by
local newspapers without comment.
The Mercier incident has not made a
sensation at The Hague.
Some Dutch papers declare that the
story of the cardinals arrest lacks
substantiation, while others say it is
to be regretted that the Germans
failed to deny the story sooner, thus
preventing unnecessary excitement.
1t seems certain now that the as
sertions of the cardinals arrest arose
entirely from his absence from the
service in the Antwerp Cathedral. AS
matter of fact, the cardinals alb
sence from the cathedral arose from
other causes; the German authorizes
had nothing to do with 1t.

POLICE THWART
COLLEGE MANS
ATTEMPT To DIE
William G. Nash, of Paterson,
Found Trying TO Hang Him
self in NutIey.

Worrying over domestic troubles.
William 6. Nash, forty-one years old,
a college graduate, Of 26s Fifth ave-
nue., Paterson, tried to hang himself
In Nutley today. He had selected
Nutley as the place for the deed be-
cause he thought there were no police
to interfere He might have sue
ceeded in his attempt if a policeman
had not come along. He was held In
default OF $1,000 bail for the grand
Jury.
In the police court Nash told Re-
corder James NJ. Post he had so many
things to worry him he decided to
end it all. When he decided upon the
means OF self-destruction he selected
Nutley as the place, because he did
not think there was any police force.
Accordingly he walked from Pater-
son, passing through Clifton and
Delawanna without even considering
the advantages they might hold for
such a deed. He arrived in Nutley at
o'clock this morning.
Police Sergeant John Jameson, while
passing the corner Of Passaic and
Yreeland avenues, noticed someone
acting queerly a short distance up
Vreeland avenue. He summoned Pa
trolman George Malizia, who was
nearby, and together they approached
Nash.
The latter had his coat and collar
off and already had made an unsuc-
cessful attempt at suicide by hang
ing. As evidence of this, he had a
deep cut around his neck from the
rope. He had stood on the fence
along the Third river and tied the
rope to a tree limb. When he leaped
from the fence it had loosened from
the tree. When the officers inter-
ceded he was again making the rope
fast to the tree.
Bade Farewell to Friends.
Nash, who was well dressed and
of neat appearance, had a letter in
his pocket. which requested the finder
to deliver il to his brother, Edmund
r. Nash, of SO South street, Boston.
The envelope contained four brief
notes of farewell, TO as many per-
sons.
At the police station he said he
was a graduate of Brown University
and for several years had been ac-
tcentinued on Page 2. Column -
