ket factor was forcibly illustrated during
today's short session, prices again yleloine
though only temporarily. despite the IS
suance of numerous authoritative deniais
of impending peace negotiations. AT the
outset there were many substantial recov-
cries followed by quick reversal on heavy
selling. largely from the trading element NJ,
Recessions of 1 to points occurred on
this movement, the first hours trading
amounting to 100000 shares. The closing
was strong.
Bonds were irregular.

the peace rumors circulated with material
effect in yesterdays late dealings resulted

Announces $40. 600 Fund.

Detroit. Oct. flames Cousens, De-
troit multi-millionaire police commits
sioner, today announced the establish
ment of bonus for members of the
Detroit police force. The bonus,
provided personally by Cousens, will
amount to about $4,000 annually.

kind ever established in the United
States. Mr.. Cousens received $4,000
salary for being in charge of the police
department He said today his salary
will form part of the bonus which he
intends personally to distribute. This
bonus will be paid out at regular in
teIvals. probably every three months,
Mr.. Cousens said. A record of the
efficiency of each member of the de-
partment will be kept and distribution
of the bonus will be based to great
extent upon this record
1t was stated by Mr.. Cousens that
the bonus might enable some patrol
men to earn more than some of their
captains.

GRAINS MOVE UP
Argentine Crop and Peace Talk
Are Factors.
Raise of S1.5O a Barrel in Pork
and Supply Scarce.

Chicago. Oct despite peace
rumors and the chance that breakup
of the Argentine drought seems not
altogether unlikely, substantial, net
gains in prices averaging more than
per cent a bushel have been the
outcome of wheat trading here in the
last week Until yesterday in fact,
changes in new high record quotations
for 1916 were SO frequent as to be
taken as almost a matter of course
1t was apparent that if the peace
gossip had been confirmed the SELL
ing wave yesterday would have had
more radical consequences, but the
rumors were received with general in
credulity. Had the market not been
previously depressed by bearish ad-
vices regarding probable showers in
Argentina, the closing figures for
yesterday would perhaps have hardly
been out of ordinary limits as COM
pared with tWenty-four hours before.
Aside from the hints of Forthcoming
peace developments and the chance
of rain in Argentina, wheat bulls HAD
virtually no obstacles to contend with.
Corn and Oats Follow Wheat.
There was general agreement that
serious damage had been done to the
Argentine. crop and about the only
outstanding question with traders was
whether the spread of the injury
would soon he brought to halt.
Corn and oats moved up moderately
during the week in line with the action
of wheat. Provisions also show gen.
eral gains, and in the case of nearby
deliveries of pork an almost vertical
raise of more than $3.50 a barrel APP
parently the result of shorts meeting
with severe difficulty in the fulfilling
of contract obligations.

High School Students Make
Raid ON Washburn.
Charge Hall Where Rah- Rails
Held Big Party.
RIOT CALLS SENT TO POLICE
Four Cops Arrived, One Block
in Is Minutes.
They Agreed That High School
Lads Were Not "Nice."

Forty college men and 100 high
school boys. rotten eggs and big
bass drum were the ingredients used
in a riot at the Varsity club dance at
.Kellam hall last night.
One hundred high school young
sters started pep parade" last night
in preparation for today's game with
Manhattan. They went in and out of
several movie houses and started in
on Kellam hall. But they reckoned
without their hosts. the Varsity club,
composed of college men.
Amid the screams of the co-eds, the
high school boys swarmed up the
steps and then swarmed down again
as Leonard Kline, law school sopho-
more, charged them single-handed
but with both feet in full operation.
He used one to boot" several pugna-
cious high school boys down the steps
and the other kicked gaping wound
in the side of the bass drum.
Enraged at the spelling of their
chief pep" machine, the high school
contingent collected outside, throwing
sticks and pieces of the drum at the
collegians assem- bled in the doorway
While the majority thus entertain
ed the college boys in the doorway,
some willy ones unearthed some spoil
ed eggs and climbing the fire oscar pc
floor while others plastered the front
rank of the college crowd. The col
lege men retreated indoors
Greatly cheered over the outcome
of the battle the pep parade" pro-
ceeded UPWARDS in search of other
fields to conquer endeavoring to make
up for the ruination of their noise
machine by their vocal efforts.
The police arriving in the police
auto some fifteen minutes after the
affair We're extremely sympathetic
with the egged dancers. They re-
GREETED deeply that they had not beer
able to make the one block trip from
the station to Kellarn's hall fifteen OF
twenty minutes quicker, in response
to the four riot calls turned in ovei
the telephone. That amt right,
said one officer. THE boys shouldn't
have thrown eggs
The front rank which had received
the hand grenades, after a futile APP
| pl1cation of water, went on with the
dance. But joy was rather unrefined
for their partners at least, for tn;
scent of the ammunition used by tn,
high school boys proved fast dyed-in
the-WoOl and guaranteed not to fade
