Enter Mrs. Edward Heating, wife
OF Congressman Heating of Colorado.
with her interesting paper, If l
Were President" which was read
before the Congressional club.

would enactwould be one prohibiting
the change OF feminine styles more
than twice week
The personnel OF her cabinet would
include
Mrs, Shackelford OF Missouri, sec
rotary OF state, because, in her fifteen
years at Washington, she has never
SAID an unklnd word OF anyone and
has thereby qualified for the realms
of diplomacy.
Mrs. John B. Henderson would re-
ceive the treasury portfolio, because
IN case of deficit, Mrs. Henderson
would make an appropriation from
her own pocket
Mrs. Haynes, vino lives out in Cal
norma where she can keep an eve

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS,
Wheat Goes Up and Touches High Record
Price for 1915

Chicago Aug. MISUNDERSTANDING that
weekend sales to realize profits were heavy
today, the wheat market touched new htSh
record prices for 1916, and although nsettled
at thue close, was y @ sc to nc above yes
terday's finish. Canadian crop damage ap-
pared TO be on the Increase and there were
reports that European bying OF breadstuffs
was on big scale. Other staples, too
showed gains-corn lTsc to SC: oats, lc 10
lac. and provisions. SC to 27ac.
Assertions that all wheat for fifty miles
north OF Regina, Sasks,, was more or less
infected with black rust led to an excited
rsh uof hyinug as soon as trading began
There had been no previous mention OF
infection north OF Regina. Reports were
also received that the pest had developed
far to the westward in Saskatchewan, be-

avoid carrying open risks over until Mon
day The result was a decided setback In
prices after the initial advance. On the
other hand. signs gradually multiplied that
exporters taking advantage OF the down
turn, were buying with unusual freedom
In this connection It was said 1000, 900 bar
rels Of flour had been disposed of to Great
Britain, an amount equal to $500 900
bushels Of wheat. Bulls In wheat unmistak-
ably had the advantage as the session drew
to close. They laid especial stress on the
contention that weak holders had for the
most part been eliminated and that the
market was therefore In a much healthier
position to resume the attempt to add to

Yuan Shi-Kai's Family
Requires Many Trains

ttorr"spondcnc, Of The Associated PressD
Picking, June 2l.-Thirty-hve trains
were required to carry Yuan Shi-kai's
family and their possessions from Pc
king to the Yuan Shi-kai home at
Changtehfu. The late president was
known to have sixteen wives and it
has been reported that the number
was even greater. One paper is re-
sponSible for the statement that in
addition TO his first wife, who is the
legal wife under the Chinese laws, the
late president had twenty-six others.
Upon the birth of son to one few
months ago. it was officially announ-
ced that Yuan Shi-kai was the father
of thirty-one children, sixteen sons
and fifteen daughters
Ever since Yuan Shi-kai's death on
June 3, his family have been sending
their effects to their southern home,
which will be the permanent resi-
dcnte. Train loads Of furniture, trunks
aud curios OF all sorts were moved
tom the palace grounds i'll the i'm
pcrlal city. \ constant stream of two
wheel Pcking carts has been hauling
these possessions to the railway sta
tion.
Revolutionists' papers have com
planned bitterly OF the manner in
which the Yuan family stripped the
palace of curios. 1t has been charged
that the action OF the wives and chill
drcn OF Yuan Shi-kai was nothing
short of looting, as many OF the curios
they took were clearly government
property, and should not have been
removed from the palace.
Many reports have been printed
violent rows in which the
older snna OF Nuah Shi-kai engaged
the division of their faith
ers property. Yuan ko-ting, the eld-
est son. who is now about SO, and
several of the other groWn-up sons
had decided differences as to the med
ical treatment which the late father
should have, and are reported to have
been engaged in violent quarrels while
he was lying at the point OF death
Many strange ruplors concerning
the various wives OF the late presi-
dent have been circulated among the
superstititouS and ignorant Chinese
since Yuan Shi-kai'S death. One ru-
NOR, which gained general circula-
ton, but is not credited by foreigners,
is that the second wife killed herself
after Yuan Shi-kai's death.
