Ell Paso. Nov. 16.-After being in
the Juarez jail since Nov. Z, during
which time he expected to be shot
as Villa spy, Benz. Brahan was re-
leased at the military headquarters
in Juarez late yesterday and came to
the American side of the river.
Brahan said he knew no reason why
he was arrested other than the fact
that he was a scout for General PERISH
ing in Mexico.
Il went to Juarez to see a friend
before returning to join the punitive
expedition" Brahan said after reach
ing his hotel here.
Il saw a Carranza commander on
the street in Juarez whom had
known at Casas Grandes when I was
with General Pershing.
There is an American scout he
said to another officer when he saw

to the Jail and locked in the incom-
municado CELL" Brahan said. II was
not told officially that I was to be shot.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Wheat: News
was disturbing to believers in con-
tinued high prices. Action of the
British government in conserving it's
supplies by economy and substitution,
heavy purchases of Indian wheat to
be shipped by Jan. l and further rum
ors of an embargo in this country
caused rather liberal liquidation. 10
cal professional holdings were sold
out, although some are still held.
Nothing reported in way of export
business in United States wheat and
cash premiums were easier, especial
~ in the west. December in this mar
ket is acting heavy. Difficulty in get
ting insurance at this level Of prices
Is having some effect.
Corn-Corn opened strong on SEN
sational Argentine news. Some advices
were that the crop was a failure. This
looks premature as probably not over
half corn areas are examined. Cash
corn was easier and country CORP was
selling freely and receivers think we
are going to have very good receipts
Should we, then our stocks will in
crease as there Is practically an en-
barge on all eastern roads.
Oats-Oats followed other grains.
Strong and weak with them. No
change in the general situation.
Provisions-Pr0visdo held firm in
the face of a weak hog market. This
was due to the decrease in lard stocks
and some buying by Belgian commits
sion. We ought to have lower prices
temporarily.

WASTE IN
u. 5. Mines

Chicago, Nov. 16.-The development
Of the mineral resources Of the United
States was described as an orgy OF
hasty exploitation by Van H. Man
ming, director of the bureau of mines,
addressing the American Mining con-
gress yesterday.
Great as has been the advance in
the mining industry" he said, sit Is
deplorable to have to say that it has
been carried on in q most wasteful
manner and with little regard for the
safety Of the men who labor in the
mines
Had our mineral resources been
widely developed they would have
lasted many years longer and yielded
ten times as much wealth.
The chief need of the United States,
if it would meet new conditions of
trade is deeper and wider co-opera-
ton among our industries and the
elimination Of factionalism and SEN
timentalism."
DR.. George Otis Smith, director Of
the geological survey. declared that
any regulation of prices needed to be
under federal control.
The private owner OF coal land
has no more sacred right to say
whether or not coal shall be mined
or to fix an exorbitant price on this
indispensable resource than the coal
operators have to combine to exact an
excessive profit from the consumer
or the railroads to charge all the traf-
fic will bear"

DOOLITTLE
OF DILWORTH
GIVEN OVATION
Church Unanimous in De-
cision Not to Accept
Resignation

At a. meeting in the Dilworth Fres-
hyterian church last evening, atteno-
cd bv over 100 members of the church,
Rev G. HI. Doolittle, pastor. was CIV
en- a keen ovation when the churcn
voted unanimously to refuse to accept
his resignation, rendered to the con-
gregation last Sunday.
Rev. Doolittle has decided to remain
at the Dilworth church although mis-
call to q. new field would have meant
far more in a financial way. AT pres
emf he is conducting extensive work
in Dilworth and in Fargo which he
wishes to continue.
Last night the following resolution
was prepared by the congregation and
presented to Rev. Doolittle: I'VE. the
supporters of the Presbyterian church
of Dilworth, who recognize and APP
preciate the good work being done by
our beloved pastor, Rev. c. III. Doolit-
tie. do most earnestly hope that he
will feel to continue his good services
in the church. We hereby agree to
give him all support and help him in
his good work
At a meeting Of the official board
last Sunday it was agreed not to ac-
scept the pastors resignation but to
extend to him the assurance that his
services in the community are ap-
preciated.

NEED NOT

Appraised Values of Coal
Lands Doesn't Fix Maxi
mum, Courts Say

Washington, Nov. 16. - A decision
which may save the u. S. government
several hundred million dollars was
given here yesterday by the district ap-
peals court, holding that an act Of
congress requiring sale Of govern
ment owned coal lands in Montana
and other states at from $40 to $40 an
acre fixed a minimum and not a maxi
mum price.
The appraised value Of the lands is
said to be nearly $500,000,0O0 above
the minimum prices
The suit came up in mandamus
proceedings by Fred w. Handel and
Mae Handel OF Montana to compel the
secretary OF the interior to accept the
minimum price. when he had fixed $40
per acre for these lands and declined
to issue a patent until that price was
paid.
A lower court decision upholding
the secretary was affirmed by the ap-
peals court.

THE MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARKET REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Although talk Of
peace parleys within four months
gave temporary advantage Wednes-
day to the bears in wheat. the market
closed stronger. influenced by an
nouncement that Argentine grain Of
ferings to Europe had been complete
ly withdrawn and by u report that
farm reserves Of wheat in Canada
were small Closing prices were y
to &c net higher with Dec. at 1.S7A to
1879 and May 1909 to 1.91. Corn
gained Il a % to "a and oats q a 4 to
q. Provisions showed 4 setback Of
22 to 10c.
Unexpected advances in wheat quo
tations at Liverpool gave right at the
start a decided upward swing to the
market here. 1t was explained that
arrivals of wheat in Great Britain
were scanty and that millers demands
were increasing. Moreover Argentine
crop advices proved bullish and for
eigners seemed eager to acquire Chi
cago contracts for future deliveries
Soon, however, the market headed
downward faster than it hadsgone up.
Bears were making much OF the peace
interview from Count AppOnyi, the
Hungarian leader. and 1t was not un-
ill the last fifteen minutes of the
session that the bulls again obtained
control OF the market.
Announcement Of the complete
Withdrawal of Argentine offers Of
wheat to Europe was coupled here
with earlier advices implying that the
government Of Argentina was con-
tcmplating a possible embargo. Much
late buying resulted also from reports
credited to the Northwestern Grain
Dealers association saying that the
Canadian prairie crop was 182,0OO,OOO
bushels less than last years total and
that only 43,67O, 900 bushels was now
left in the farmers hands.
Corn swayed with wheat. Bullish
Argentine reports were in measure
offset by assertions that rural domes-
tic offerings OF corn to arrive here
had noticeably increased. Demand
from the seaboard helped to uphold
the oats market. The Canadian north
west crop was estimated to 51,OOO,OOO
bushels less than in 1915.
Provisions gave way on account or
weakness in the price Of hogs. Later,
though, packers buying led to some
thing OF a rally

Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate
justice of the supreme court of the
United States, died at his home in
Washington Sunday night, after an
illness of several months. Justice
Lamar was IS years old and had been
on the bench five years.
The immediate cause of death was
gradual heart failure. fastened by
inflammation of one of the lungs,
which had threatened to develop into
pneumonia. The primary cause is
said to have been due to overwork.
The burial took place Wednesday
at Augusta, Ga. Secretary Lane and
Solicitor General John Davis are men,
toned as his possible successor.
Associate Justice Rucker Lamar
had the distinction of being one of
the few members of the court ap-
pointed by a president of opposite
political faith. President Taft ap-
pointed him in 1910 with only two
precedents for such action, those of
Justices Jackson and Lurton.
Justice Lamar was born in Ruck-
ersville. Ebert county, Georgia. Oct.
IA, 1S47. He attended the University
of Georgia and later Bethany college
where he graduated in 1877. He at
tended the law school at Washington
and Lee university, and was admitted
to the bar at Augusta, Ga, in 1878.
He lived at Augusta until appointed
to the supreme court bench.
