Morning Grain Gossip. 1870
Furnished by the Topeka Board OF TRADED

Chicago Oct. 1.-THE Herald says 1t
is the belief of those in close touch with
the food administration that the new order
to be issued from Washington relates more
to the control of cereal foods than to corn
and oats trading. Licensing of grain ele-
vators here and thruout the country is
with desire to prevent accumulation Of sup
plies and to take hat moving as fast as
possible The grain exchanges have been
the first to work in conjunction with the
government idea of price regulation and
the trade in general appears TO be recog-
nizing the fact.
Heavy liquidation has been on in corn
and oats last two days and there Is said
to be more to come. Pressure from lead
ing shorts has increased prices decline
but the big break in corn yesterday
there was evidence of covering at good
profits while the largest holders are said
to have let go thru the big commission
house at the last. The short interest by
! the local crowd was said to be large.
Some of the provisions traders say 10
cent hogs will be cheap in 1918 and think
bellies and other meats will have to decline
cents before ribs can be affected com
paratively. They figure that 10 cent hogs
represent 81 cents for lard and short ribs.
/ The British government was large buyer
| of side meats and hams here the last two
DAYS
All grain exchanges will be closed to
morrow, Octubcr II, Columbus day, but

URGE SOFT PEDAL
Sim Feiners Discover Ameri-
can Support Is Waning.
Intrigue Poor Ex-
change for c. S. Good WILL"

Dublin, Oct 11-(By the Associated
Press) The Sim Feiners have been
devoting special attention to the prop
uganda in Ulster, where several meet
ings have been addressed by leaders
of the movement. The effect, as re-
flcted in the press, is to harden Ulster
Cnionists' opposition to any form of
home rule by strengthening their con-
victiOn that 1t must mean separation
The supporters of the Irish party
regard the Sinn Fein-Ulster campaign
as likely to hand over Ulster seats to
the Unionist party. AT present Ulster
returns majority of members
pledged to home rule, but in some
cases the majority by which the seat
is held is very small and if there were
general election the result of the
| Sim Fein dissension might be the loss
of seats and the establishment of a
Unionist ma ority in Ulster.
Richard McGhee, a member of the
/ Irish party and member of parliament
/ for Mid-Tyron, in a speech charged
that there exists a conspiracy to weak
/ en- the constitutional movement for
| home rule. The Sim Feiners contin-
! ue to talk of securing Irish interests
at the peace conference, but they no
! longer place the same reliance on the
aid of America. The Freeman's Jour
nal. the organ of the Irish party, COM
menting on this, says:
. SE0e1Le american S1nn e1nefS.
| TT is not possible at the present mo-
ment to carry on a policy of hamper
/ ing America in the prosecution of the
{ war, the policy upon which the Amer
lean Sim Feiners have embarked, and
to preserve at the same time the COOS
will of the American government an6
the people. That good will has evil
/ IDENTIFY been put out of their reckon
ing by the Sim Fein party, a fact OF
which the Irish people, unless they
have lost all their intelligence, will be
able to understand the significance.
| The interesting intrigues of Ger
many is a poor exchange for American
good will, for it must be obvious tina
in any peace conference the German
Austrian policy win be to belittle a:
far as possible the rights of small ma
tionalities. The measure of German
support for Ireland's claims must b.
the measure of liberty that Austria il
prepared to concede to her own ma
tionals There could not be a NOR,
| fatuous policy than to place the ma
tional cause of Ireland at the dispose
of powers whose self interest is t,
limit the political and commercial
rights of the small nations so far a.
they can limit those rights"

Grandstands and bleachers both had

the White Sox entered the gate from

The playing field was much faster,
a point which, it was commended, would
be of benefit to the SoX, a speedy
team.
The same old band supplied music
behind the third base line and the
same crowd of singers tried to put pep
into the crowd that cheered only spor-
adically.

practice.
The White Sox warmed up on the

They worked against left hand
pitching, Claude Williams going into
the box. This appeared to eliminate
him as a possible starter for the White
Sox.
Jackson, Felsh, Gandil and the
other White So:l heavy artillery men
were going fine. If there was any
depression in any ranks of the Amer
lean leaguers, it could not be observed.
Eddie Cicotte was on the lines warm
ing up with the other White Sox
players, disregarding the shots from
the stands.
The line of fans feeding into the
stands was thin. The upper tier, the
! reserved section of the grandstand
filled slower than any other section.
There was no wild rush at the gates
for seats in the unreserved section of
the grandstand and the bleachers
The fans appeared to take it more

THEATER OF WILD SCANDAL.
Reichstag in Furore Over Charges
Members Back of Navy Revolt

Rotterdam, Oct 1.-THE state
ments of Vice Admiral Won Capelle
the German minister of marines, have
turned the reichstag into a theater
of the widest scandal, says the Vor-
waerts. discussing the exposure of
mutinies within the German navy.
The Socialist newspaper adds that
there is no shadow of proof that any
deputies were guilty of illegal action
in connection with the mutiny. The
Vossische Zeitung describes tie at
tack on the independent Socialists as
a deplorable and illegal trick on the
part of the government
The Tageblat contends that if the
reichstag believes that the indepen-
dent Socialists are guilty they must
be handed over to the court. The
Koelnische Zeitung expresses surprise
that the government, when it had
such strong proofs of guilt against
three persons suspected of treason. it
did not ask the consent of the reichs-
tag to take legal measures. No reichs-
tag would have been able to refuse
consent" 9
The newspaper complains that the
treatment of the affair in the reichs-
tag will be explained abroad to the
disadvantage of Germany.
