OF DR.. p II. Cronin, a Chicago physician,
recalls the fact that two residents of this
city were among those involved in the
investigation of that yet-unsolved mystery,
Doctor Crouin disappeared from his home
early In May 1889, and on May 22 of that
year his body, naked and bearing marks
of brutal murder, was found In the catch
basin of sewer on Evanston avenue. The
fact that Catholic emblem about his neck
was undisturbed created suspicion against
members of the Clan-na-Gae Several
prominent members of that secret Irish
order were questioned, among them Luke
Dillon and Peter McGeehan, of this city.
Dillon at that time was teller in a saw
ings fund on Chestnut street west of
Fifteenth. and was active among the friends
of Ireland in this city. McGeehan was an
ironworker. but not especially active in the
Clan-na-Gael.
Daniel Coughlin, of Chicago, appeared to
be the chief suspect. but the police investi-

Doctor Cronin was lured to death on

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct. Observation-Disclosures some
uncertainty at the outset wheat prices to-
day soon outdid yesterdays top-notch fig
ures. Lower cable quotations were respon-
sible for the week opening but bearish SEN
timent could make Roadway in the
face of buying which developed on a large
scale, with some of the biggest firms tax
ing a conspicuous part. Argentine and
Canadian crop advices continued to be of
disappointing character. Opening prices,
which ranged from lie decline to &c ad-
vance, with December at S1.65 to $1.66% and
May at $1.67A were followed by small
downturns and then sharp rise.
Prices closed unsettled, varying from &c
off to Sc net advance. with December at
$1-6SA to $1.69 and May at $1.6S9s and
$1.6sA.
CORN-Rough weather gave independent
strength to corn. New high prices for 1916
were scored. After opening 1sc off to &c

gains.

FLOUR UP rs CENTS
$3.50 Barrel, Highest Price Paid in
Chicago in 20 Years.

Chicago, Oct 19.-The public is
confronted with another increase in
the price of bread if wheat continues
to advance, according to predictions
today of leading bakers. The ten cent
jump in the price of wheat in the last
two days sent flour up rs cents a bar
rel which caused the big bakers to an
nounce that in addition to the recent
increases in the price OF bread they
would have to make further advances
unless something unforeseen lowers
the price of flour Bakers paid $3.50
a barrel, wholesale, for flour yester-
day, the highest price in Chicago in 20
years.
Unless an embargo on the eXporta-
ton of flour and wheat is declared,
said Paul Schulz, a prominent baker,
there will be a wheat famine before
spring. Even as the situation is now
small millers are shutting down their
plants and filling their orders by buy
ing from the Minneapolis mills"
IF wheat goes up, flour goes up,
said B. H. Dahlheimer, president OF
the Master Bakers association, and

CARRIED AMERICAN FLAG.
Greeks Would Draw q. S. Into Contro-
versy. Opinion of Italians.

Rome, Oct. 19.-Events in Greece
are absorbing the whole attention of
the public here. The general opinion
is that regrettable as it may be to have
to interfere in a foreign country, the
action of the allies was inevitable and
is justifiable as guaranteeing the army
under General Sarrail against a sur
prise in the rear. The action of
Greece since the beginning of the war,
it is pointed out here, has been such
as to inspire anything but confidence,
despite the kings affirmations that he
stood ready to facilitate the advance
of the allies.
The fact that Greek demonstrators
carried about an American flag is re-
garded as most significant and as
proving that everywhere the idea is
rooted that the United States must be
the mediator in the present European
difficulties. 1t is asserted that in the
struggle in the streets the American
flag was perforated several times and
that the Greeks are trying to bring
forward this as an insult TO the Amer
lean colors, thus causing an incident
which will give the United States a
chance to intervene

British Front in France, via Lon
don. Oct 19.-The war will last an
other year, according to the concensus
OF opinion among the British soldiers
and their leaders This is also the
Nopinion of the Germans, If the views
of prisoners count for anything.
Before the grand offensive started
a high authority informed the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press that
the German line would not be broken
wearing down the Germans would be
-inaugurated and would probably last
thru another summer. With the ap-
proach of winter conditions which
make military movement difficult, this
officer recalled his prediction and,
speaking of the situation today he
said:
I'VE know what the German re-
sources We're and what ours were and
the time required to force a decisive
Victory for our arms is matter of cal
culation-
German prisoners taken during
the summer invariably spoke of peace
being a certainty in the autumn. They
Regarded the Somme thrust as a final
effort of the allies for decision and
that after it peace would be made
Their tone has been entirely different
recently. They recognize that it is d
fight TO a finish between the man
power and the resources of the two
foes ard that an Ultimate decision will
come from the fearful attritfon on the
western front which now will know no
intermission until the end.
Every Village a Fortress.
THE Germans are determined to
make every village on the western
front a fortress which will yield only
when reduced to powder by shellfire
and every gully and crater a machine
gun post to secure their defensive
against u critical defeat.
AT a period when the weather is
adverse to offensive operations else
where the Germans are apparently
concentrating every possible man and
gun against Rumania. The view OF
the British officers is that the Ger
mans hope to crush Rumania so that
when they have to face a common al
lied offensive in the spring they may
not have to defend the immense
length Of the Rumanian frontier in ad-
dition to what they have had to de-
fend this summer.
1T IS n universal remark among the
British that never has the morale of
the prisoners varied more than now.
You will notice that we are always
taking prisoners and that the Ger
rmans get very few of ours said a
staff officer. Tho small parties of
lour men are bound to get into hazard

Operations at close quarters they die

morale and the temUer of the situa-
tion. Some Germans have never

Pathway of Ruin.
Persons Blown Thru Plate
Glass Windows in Mobile.

Mobile Ala, Oct. 19.-Southern
Alabama and western Florida were
recovering today fIom the hurricane
which swept over the Gulf of Mexico,
causing two deaths and property and
marine loss. Altno the wind attained
velocity of ITO miles an hour which
was greater than that which accom-
panied the storm of last July, both
Mobile and Pensacola, the chief cities
in the hurricanes path, suffered Tar
less damage. The total loss in the
two cities probably will not exceed
100000.
The chief damage here was to rail-
road sheds and terminals and to tele-
phone, telegraph, light and power
wires. Several persons were blown
thru plate glass windows but escaped
serious injury. Marine damage was
heavy both in this harbor and at the
Florida port.
Altho the storms intensity decreased
as it swept inland, southern Alabama
suffered considerably, houses being
unroofed and poles blown down at
Opp and Troy, while minor damage
was done in a number of other towns.
AS the storm swept up thru Alabama
and western Georgia, 1t was accom-
panied by two distinct earthquake
shocks which were felt as far north as
Louisville, Ky.
Estimate Dam gaeat $25O,OOO.
New Orleans Oct. 19.-Reports to-
day from Mobile and Pensacola said
the total damage in both cities from
Yesterdays hurricane would not be
more than $3.50, 900. One person killed

drowned at Pensacola comprise the
death list.
At Mobile two boats were sunk,
three damaged and six driven ashore.
One was sunk and four driven ashore
at Pensacola. 1t is estimated the dam

would not go beyond half a million
dollars.
