Reach New High Levels.
Other Stocks Decline

NEW YORK, June 21.--Price movements
on the curb market were mixed, with a
show of pronounced strength in number
of issues. in the early trading, followed
by general unscttling of values, with many
issues showing substantial gains in the
afternoon. The upturn, which had been
most pronounced in the oil stocks in the
morning had carried prices for many or
those issues to new high levels.
The buying of these stocks as n group
was based to n great extent on the helet
that hostilites i'm Mexico would cut or tho
supply from the Mexican fields and force
consumers to depend on home production IN

today. Perhaps their exact location

TO HOLD MARKET
Organization of Food Dealers
Planned to Prevent
FIuctuatiOn in Case of Large
Orders for Army.

New York, June 23.-The organiza-
ton of an association of large dealers
in supplies for the army and national
guard troops is planned by represent
atives of the war department and Of
ficers here to protect the public and
the army against disturbance of the
food markets by heavy orders in time
of war. Col. A. L. Smith, depot quar-
termaster for New York, is preparing
for what is termed a food exchange.
The proposal is said to have the back
ing of QuartermaSter General Sharp
and Major General Wood of the Unit
ed States army,
Whether the plan will go into eff
feet if no other soldiers than the reg
ular army and the national guard are
put in the field said Colonel Smith,
has not been decided yet 1t may be
that these soldiers can be supplied
without reflection to any marked de-
gree in the market but if $780, vol
unteers were called out, as has been
suggested, every effort would be made
to put the plan in operation at once. -
1t is understood that congress will
be asked in few days to give permits
sion for the purchase of army sup
plies without advertising for bids,
which is now required. The organiZa-
ton proposed is somewhat similar to
the produce exchange. Orders from
the war department received by the
exchange would be filled from reserve
stock or so divided as to prevent a
sudden rise in prices because of a
large order. Members of the exchange
would be placed under heavy bonds
to abstain from speculation in prices.

PATRIOTISM LACKING?
Anyhow, That's What Rear Admiral
knight Thinks.

Newport, r. L, June 23.-Many Of
ficers from the Atlantic fleet and from
the Narragansett Bay naval and army
station attended the graduation eXer-
cises of the naval war college today.
Rear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight, presi-
dnt of the college, presented diplomas
to seventeen officers. In his address
on the work of the college Rear Ad-
n1iral Knight incidentally touched on
preparedness.
Much Of the sentiment en- this
subject" he said, lis undoubtedly deep
seated and sincere, but much of it,
also am convinced is superficial. And
some of it is distinctly selfish.
"A love of country which needs a
supreme crisis to bring it to the sur
face lacks the first elements of eff
ficient patriotism. What is needed in
this country and what think is sadly
lacking, is a spirit of devotion ready
to respond to every call, without
thought of where the service may or
NAV not lead"

TOLD OLD STORY
Orpet' Letters Showed Writer'S
Change of Heart.
Read to Jury Despite Protests
of the Defense.
BY WINIFRED BLACK.

Waukegan, ILL.,, June 23.-If 1 had
a 16 year old daughter who was turn
ing my very heart cold with terror
by acting like the girls of her own
crazy" 1 believe I'd take her up to
Waukegan and make her sit there
right in the middle of that suffocat-
ing crowd in the packed court room
and listen to the letters Will Orpet
wrote to Marion Lambert.
l wouldn't let her look away or lis
ten away or think away for one single
instant. I'd make her hear and un-
derstand every syllable of every one of
those letterS-if had to handcuff her
to my own wrists to make her stay
there-and if that didn't bring her
TO her senses, I'd give her up as a
bad job and keep her shut up some
where where she could be looked after
for the rest of her life.

able story-the old, old story that we
all ought to know by heart by this
time. They told it in Babylon in the
hanging gardens and haven't a doubt
if one of the cave women could come

such tale today-in her own crude
way. And yet, we never, never seem
to learn it. we women.

Due to this situation, another ciash

This information is unofficial, but 1t
is the substance of reports received
through Mexican sources over the
Northwestern railway wires. AT p.

General Pershing of wednesday

ter who reached Ell Paso on the Gold

General Bell has further advices
that the full strength of the American
detachment was less than fifty men.

7. R. FOR HUGHES
Colonel Roosevelt Submits Let
ter to Moose Leaders.
Only Way to Beat WiIsOn-De-
clineS Nomination.

New York, June 23.-Colonel
Roosevelt has submitted to Progress
sive leaders the draft of letter to be
presented to the national committee at
it's Chicago meeting Monday. Its chief
points are these:
A final declination of the Progress
Sive nomination.
An appeal to the 100000 who
voted for the colonel to support
Hughes as the only effective means of
ousting Wilson from the White House.
Kind words for Charles w. Fair
banks, the Republican vice presiden-
tial candidate, but leaving Progress
sives free to vote for John NJ. Parker,
the Progressive nominee.
A declaration that inaSmuch as the
Republican platform contains many,
if not all, the principles for which the
Progressive party was fighting, that
party's mission is fulfilled and the
only presidential candidate who is a
guarantee of the overthrow of the
"Unamerican administrator at
Washington.
Colonel Roosevelt will not voiuntar-
lily offer to meet Mr.. Hughes. Should
the Republican nominee invite him to
CALL he might. But there is little
chance of their meeting until after the
Progressive national committee has
irrevocably determined the fate of the
party.
Colonel Roosevelt came up from
Oyster Bay at noon. He was pro-
nounced by DR.. Duel, his physician, so
much improved in health that he
might enter upon another strenuous
political campaign.
