Will Vote Friday on Adding
Two Dreadnaughts.
Advocates Beaten in Demand
for More Cruisers.

Washington, May 31.-Advocates of
two dreadnaughts this year were mar
shalling their forces for another fight
in the house Friday when the final
vote is taken on the naval appropria-
ton bill. They were not discouraged
by action of the house sitting as a
committee of the whole yesterday in
defeating an amendment to add two
dreadnaughts to the building program
The vote was ia, to $50.
The house adopted an amendment
to increase from go to SO the number
of submarines to be built but rejected
decisively proposals to provide six bat
tie cruisers instead of five and to
add two scout cruisers. The vote on
the submarine amendment was ia
to 104.
The house took up other features of
the naval bill today. Fourteen Dem
oerats voted for the dreadnaughts and
eight Republicans opposed it although
the proposal was originated as part of
the Republican program. Seventeen
Democrats voted for the submarines
and no Republicans voted negatively.
On the amendment to build six bat
tie cruisers the vote was 109 to S3 and
the viva voce vote on the scout cruis-
ers was overwhelmingly negative

parade yesterday. 1t was brought TO
the police station by A newspaper re-
porter, who said it had been handed
to him by police sergeant the
knife was a cheap one, having one two
and one-half inch blade and wooden
handle.
George Stivers, a patrolman, told
Chief of Police Hammil that the kn11e
had beer given to him during the pa
rade by E. C. Shell, a member of the
American Legion. who picked it up
after it had fallen to the running
board of Colonel Rooseve1ts motor
car Stivers said that as Shell hand
ed him the knife the American Legion
man said:
1.-The man who threw it ought to be
arrested"
Police Chief to Investigate.
Stivers declared he looked into the
crowd and could see no one acting sus-
piciously. The parade proceeded.
Later Stivers handed the knife TO an
other policeman, who gave it to po-
lice sergeant.
Chief of Police Hammil said he did
not believe the knife was thrown by
any one who wished to harm Colonel
Roosevelt He said he intended to
make a rigid investigation of the
whole affair.
Another incident of the day was the
arrest in the lobby of the Hotel
Muehlebach of a man who said his
name was Edward Mcdaniel of Tulsa,
Okla. He declared he had business
with Colonel Roosevelt and tried to
force his way past the police guard.
The police still were holding the man
tonight but no charges had been
placed against him.

T0DAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, May 31-wHEAT-Fresh de-
clines in the price of wheat took place to-
day influenced by lower cable quotations
and by favorable weather reports. The
downturn in foreign values were ascribed
to heavy arrivals at Liverpool and to
prospect there of continue d enlargement
of supplies. On the other hand assertions
were current that many fields in Okla
home, which before the recent rains looked
worthless were now likely to show a fair
yield at harvest Opening prices which
ranged from Nc to Use lower, with July
at $1.06A to $1.071s and September at S1.0S
to S1-0S5s. were followed by some further
losses before a recovery set in.
Subsequently the market touched the
lowest price since last March. The in
creased weakness was chiefly due to an
nouncement that worlds stocks in store
aud afloat were the largest on record.
Prices closed unsettled, PIC net lower to
a shade advance, with July at S1.9I II q
LOTS and September at $1.09.
CORN-Although corn at first gave way
with wheat, the market soon rallied. De-
mand appeared to be based on reports of
widespread need of replanting. After open
ing Ac to 15c down, prices assembled to
above Mondays finish.
Belated shorts evening up trades in the
May delivery overcame weakness from
which for a while other options suffered
owing to estimates of increased acreage
in leading states. The close was firm at
A@%c to 2Ac net advance.
OATS-Oats were affected by bearish
crop reports. Even the southwest where
complaints has been general sent relatively
optimistic advices.
