Chicago, April 3.-Wheat-The fea-
ture today was the publication of a
report by statis6cian Snow showing
the condition of winter wheat 7S.s, as
compared with sS.5 last year at this
time. This suggests a crop of 400
100000 bushels Of winter wheat on the
basis Of the present acreage, which.
according to the report, probably will
be reduced Crop experts in the field
also sent bulEsh reports from soft
winter wheat territory. Outside mar
kets also wece strong and Minneapolis
reported an advance OF ! cent IN
premiums. The character Of damage
reports seems TO indicate loss from
poor seed fully as much as from winter
killing.
Corn-Srength in wheat and further
reports Of liberal sales Of cash corn
from Kansas City were factors in an
advancing market Pressure was light
and mostly from resting orders.
Weather conditions continue TO point
to late season.
Oats-Oats were strong with othF
grains and on account Of delayed seed
ing in this country and the prospect OF
reduced acreage in Canada Market
was also helped by purchases Of OATS
against sales Of corn by spreaders who
were taking profits Apprehension is
felt ON account OF the scarcity Of good
seed oats.

INQUIRY STARTED INTO
MARSHALL IMPEACHMENT
Subcommittee of the House Judiciary
Body Holds First Meeting to
Probe Charges.

The first meeting of the subcommittee
appointed by the House Judiciary Com
mittee to inquire and report on the
charges made against United States At
torney H Snowden Marshall. of New
York, and embodied in the impeachment
resolution offered by Representative
Buchanan. of Illinois. was held yes
terday.
The Buchanan charges were grouped.
and Mr.. BuChanan's advice as to their
relative Importance was sought. After
going over the matter with Robert Hill,
his counsel. Representative Buchanan will
prepare a statement outlining the charges
in brief and indicating the relative i'm
portance of his allegations. He will also
name the witnesses whom he would have
appear before the subcommittee.
The subcommittee will hold most OF
its hearings in Washington. So far II
has made no plans to go to New York,
and will not do so unless It finds that
the work of inquiry can be expedited by

REPLY FROM GERMANY
EXPECTED HERE TODAY
Answer In Lusitania Case Will Not Be
Known, However. Until vii
son Returns.

Germany's final answer TO the Ameri-
can demands in the Lusitania contro-
versy is expected to reach Washington
today. Whether the answer is TO lead TO
formal settlement or to break in the
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Germany is expected to be
known definitely after President Wilson
returns to Washington tomorrow and has
opportunity to examine it.
On the eve of the arrival of the new
memorandum German Embassy officials
profess confidence that 1t will meet the
wishes OF the United States. In the light
of the Presidents continued warnings in
the Middle West concerning the possibili-
ties of America being soon involved in
the world war, officials OF the State De-
partment are making no predictions.
They are somewhat puzzled over the
press dispatches yesterday afternoon
from Berlin containing the text OF what
purports to be a semi-offlcial announce
ment made in Berlin.
According to this announcement Ger
many admits that, according to advices
which the Berlin foreign office received
from it's Ambassador in Washington last
Saturday, the friendly verbal exchanges
between the two governments had up to
that time failed to reach a mutually
satisfactory adjustment but that yester-
day the foreign office had transmitted
instructions to Count Won Bernstorff
which give reasonable hope for a posi-
tive understanding"

CONGRESS URGED TO
BUY TORPEDO DEVICE
War Department Recommends Pur-
chase Of Hammonds Invention for
Wireless Control of Explosives.

The War Department has asked Con-
gress to purchase the invention of
John Hays Hammond. jr.. for wireless
control OF torpedoes for SsS7.OOO. Con-
gress last year failed to appropriate
the money for the same purpose. but
Mr.. Hammond refused to negotiate with
foreign governments.
A joint board OF the army and navy,
consisting Of Gems. Weaver and Crozier
Admirals Benson and Strauss. and Capt.
W. H. G. Bullard. held a meeting yes
terday and considered plans for putting z
the proposed system Of torpedo control
from shore stations in force. The in
ventiOn is regarded in army and navy
circles as essentially one for coast de-
tense.
Stations at all the big coast cities
will be equipped with apparatus from
which torpedoes may be launched and
directed by wireless with unerring &C
curacy, contingent OF course. on the
consent OF Congress to purchase the in
yention.
Confidence Is felt that the appropria-
tion will be provided. Representative
swager Sherley. OF the Committee on
Appropriations, is expected to make a
favorable report on the recommended
tion to purchase the torpedo wireless
director.

BRANDEIS fight
GROWS BITTER
Formidable Opposition to
Confirmation Expected Be-
fore Judiciary Committee.

A vigorous fight on the nomination Of
Louis d. Brandeis. nominated by the
President for Associate Justice Of the
Supreme Court, will begin today at II
o'clock before a subcommittee OF the
Senate judiciary Committee. The op-
position to the confrma ton of Mr. Bran
deis has assumed formidable proportions
The charges, although not specific and
formal are direct and apparently seri-
GUS
Several accusing persons are alread :
In Washington prepared to go before the
committee and make charges that af-
feet The professional work of Mr. Bran
deis as an attorney. Senator Lodge turn
ed over to the subcommittee yesterday
several letters and kilograms received
from responsible persons in New Eng
land suggesting lines OF inquiry for the
subcommittee. Senator Weeks admitted
that he had received many protests Of
like character.
Most of the charges against M
Brandeis question his conception OF
professional ethics. One of the most
specific and formal charges yet lodge
against Mr.. Brandeis is that of Cliff
ford Thorne, a member of the Iowa
Railway Commission. who is now in
Washington and will be before the
committee tomorrow. Mr.. Thorne
charges Mr.. Brandeis with bad faith
while representing the Interstate Com
merce Commission in opposition to the
appeal of the Western railroads for a
per cent increase in rates.
II is expected that upon the showing
made by Mr.. Thorne will depend the
attitude OF most OF the Northwestern
Progressive Senators. One of the Re
publican Senators who has been keep
ing close watch on the developments
on the Republican side said this after
noon that the progressive Republican
support OF Brandeis had dwindled to
two-Senators La Toilette and Clapp
and that he doubted IL more than three
Republican Senators would vote for
confirmation.
The attitude Of several Democratic
Senators is still doubtful and their
votes will depend. they say. upon the
showing that can be made on behalf
of Mr.. Brandeis in refutation of the
charges being showered upon the Ju-
dietary Committee.

Secretary Daniels has left their fate to

inasmuch as the Navy Is in need of
more officers, the Secretary should give
every consideration TO the fact that the
recent examinations were the first al

Abolition Of the dope" system was
brought about as a result of the "Goug-

when a number of cadets, some of them
