WHEAT OPTION TOUCHES
$1.5O ON CHICAGO BOARD
Sensational Crop Damage Confirmed
by Federal Report Causes Ex-
traordinary Advances.

CHICAGO, August 9.-Wheat prices
shot upward cents a bushel today at the
opening of the wheat market The Decem-
ber option touched s145 on first trading
as against s1.37 at yesterdays finish.
Sensational crop damage confirmed by
the government report was the cause Of
the extraordinary advance
So much excitement ruled in the pit that
transactions in many cases were cents
apart at the same instant. The initial
range on December varied from SLAP to
$1.45. Taken as a whole, the market
opened to s cents higher, and when
relative steadiness was established showed
5A to 81 cent gains as compared with
yesterdays close.
In later dealings the May delivery
rose to the phenomenal price of $1.50 a
bushel, an extreme ascent Of SA over
compared with the price at the corre-
spending time year ago.
After midday the fever to buy grew
more intense, and the market scared to
10 cents bushel above yesterdays
close. December wheat touching LAT.
At times. the market appeared to be
entirely bare of offerings. An incentive
for the late demand was an estimate
by leading authority that, owing to
the increase of black rust, the Canadian
crop this season would be only 600
100000 bushels, a shortage of 1885,
100000 bushels under last years total.
Just before the close fresh bulge in
the market rushed prices up to nearly
II cents advance in some cases. The
new stimulus came from assertions that
large export business was in progress.

Dr.. Woodward Advises Dis
trict Residents to Observe
Sanitary Regulations.
SAYS new YORK EPIDEMIC
MAY INVADE WASHINGTON
Urges Destruction of Flies and Other
Agencies That Serve to
Spread Disease.

Expressing the belief that there is
probability of Washington being visited
by an epidemic of infantile paralysis,
though only two cases are now on
record, DR.. William C. Woodward,
health officer. today said It is important
that every citizen should realize the
danger and adopt all precautionary
methods.
Il don't wish to unnecessarily alarm
residents OF the capital, but it is i'm
portant that they should not lose sight
OF the fact that before the New York
epidemic is wiped out it will be apt to
reach Washington in some form. Now
is the time to think of this danger-not
later.
preparedness may accomplish won
ders II all our citizens will unite in
an endeavor to keep the city sanitary
and destroy the fly and other agencies
suspected OF being carriers of the In
fantile paralysis germ"
DR.. Woodward and DR., J. J. Kinyoun
bacterfologist of the health department
expect to leave tomorrow for New
York, where they may remain a week
or longer studying the methods en-
ployed for combating the scourge in
that city.
Limitation on Visiting.
The health officer is advising parents
not to visit with their children In
Pennsylvania or New Jersey. He be-
lieves the danger of an epidemic de.
veioping here will be much reduced II
children remain in the District, or al
least II they do not go far north Of
the capital this summer.
Commenting upon a suggestion made
to The Star by one OF its readers that
sand piles in the parks and on the play
grounds may be veritable hotbeds of dis
ease, DR.. Woodward this morning said
that he considered such play facilities a
source of danger at the present time
and that he would advise instruction
to children to keep away from the
sand boxes.

so that the vote from some village of

This statement was made to the

The official vote is yet to be receiv-

ceived from these missing towns

may be in by tonight.

"It is not safe, however. to say New
Hampshire has gone one way or the
other" said Bean. THE official re.
ports may upset the present figures.
The states vote might swing on the
final official reports from some VII

When the sixty towns are heard
from, New Hampshire's vote will be
complete as the militiamen of the
state now on the border did not vote.

VIII SON is EARLY RISER
WHILE THERE is DOUBT

He has dropped slightly behind in
Minnesota and only a strong swing
back to him can save that state.
SO, no one is making any forecast
as to the outcome. At s O'Clock SEQ
retary Tumulty reiterated his asser
ton: THAT it IS close, but all right.
The answer, they are looking for in
definite returns here today and thess
are coming in with exasperating
slowness. 1t is possible the president
may not yet know the result when ha
boards the Mayflower tonight to ga
to WiIliamstown, Mass, for christen-
ing OF his granddaughter tomorrow
This is moving day at Shadow
Lawn and Asbury Park. Owing to
the uncertain result OF the election
and need for keeping all clerks busy
at the executive offices, 1t will be
almost impossible for these offices to
be entirely cleared out and moved
back to Washington before the end
Of the week Both Shadow Lawn
and the executive offices, however,
will be practically deserted by to-
morrow night and the white house
vacation will be at an end.

HUGHES REMAINS CALM

In fact, he is about the most calm
of all of those in the republican
camp. This was evidenced today
when the republican nominee. VINO
had gone to led at 1910 a. M, re.
sponded to an eight o'clock call-and
then turned right around and took
another hours sleep.
Hughes Is still entirely confident
that the ultimate result will be his
election. He planned another quiet
day. with an automobile ride and no
politics, except possibly talks with
Chairman Wilcox.
