CHICAGO, March 16.-Serious crop
damage reports from the soft winter
states gave decided strength TO the
wheat market here. The outcome was
q steady close, i SC to TX @1Ac net
higher, with May at $1.10A @l.104s,
and July at $1.08N. Corn gained ~
0kc to sc, and OTIS &c to y glc.
Provisions finished unchanged to 11zc
lower.
MISSOURI and Illinois in particular
flooded the wheat trade with dispatch
es telling OF winter killed crops. Ac-
cording to some reports the destruc.
ton amounted to as much as 20 to 80
per cent. Numerous cases were men.
toned where whole fields had been up
and replanted with corn and oats, IN
stead OF wheat. Adverse acreage in
Canada tended also to handicap the
bears.
Corn rose on account of the strength
in wheat and as q result OF the scant-
mess of arrivals here. The fact that
demand for shipments from here was
slow proved something Of an offset.
In oats, the dominating influence was
the prospect Of a big reduction soon
in Chicago stocks. Besides there ap.
peared to be a disposition to regard
oats as too low priced compared with
other grain. y
Provisions gave way with hogs II
was said, too, that recent advances
had checked the cash demand.

JAMES JONES IS HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE

Albany, Ga, Dec. Thames
Jones, IS years old, IS held in jail
at Camilla, charged with the muir
der of Edgar Holton, ten years
younger. The killing occurred
Saturday night.
Holton's body was found about
$50 o'clock and shortly afterward
a coroner's jury began work on
the case, it not being known at
that time that there had been any
eyewltnesses to the killing.
During the hearing, however,
eyewitnesses testified and the re-
suit of the coroner's jury investi-
cation was a verdict to the effect
; that the deceased came to his
death at the hands of Jones.
According to the testimony, the
two men had gone together to a
certain part of town, and there be-
came involved in a quarrel. Wit
nesses testified that Jones shot
twice. When arrested Jones had
a pistol in which were two empty
cartridges.
Holton was shot in the back.
Today the officers have been try
ing to locate in Albany a woman
wanted III the case and who is
supposed to have come here.

ADAMSON LAW HEARING
FIXED FOR JANUARY 8

Washington, Dec. 12.-Deter-
mination by the supreme court of
the constitutionality of the Adam
son law in time for congress to
enact any desired supplementary
legislation at this session was re-
garded as assured today when the
court advanced the test case for
argument on January 8.
The court granted the govern
ments motion to expedite the
Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf
railroad case, in which Federal
Judge Hook held the Adamson
act void. Hearings were set for
Immediately after Christmas
holidays and ahead of all other
important cases already assigned
for January 8.
There had been some hope of
having the case heard before
Christmas, as the Adamson act
becomes effective January /. All
interests are believed to be CON
served pending the courts decis-
ion, however Special accounts
OF wages due employees under the
law will be kept and all other 1iti-
cation will be held in allegiance by
agreement between the govern
ment and the railroads until the
decision IS given.
