lstraticn and the president.
Senator Chamberlain. chairman OF
the military affairs committee, said
that he had permitted the use OF the
room when Isaac Mcbride, former seq
rotary to the late Senator Lane. OF
Oregon, asked him for permission to
have some Of his friends meet with
members of congress there. He said
that he had no idea the room was to

demned the war, its conduct, a1d the
draft law, left the room highly indig-
nant.
Among the members of congress at
tending the meeting were Senators
Gronna, Hitchcock, Fletcher, Kirby.

WOMEN PIckETs REPRovEp,
Senate Committee Is Urged to Kill Bill
to Stop loiterino.

TO stop Lettering.
Washington, Aug. 10.-Seven militant
White House pickets, all but two of
whom have served Jail terms for pick
citing, were rebuked by senators yes
terday for abusing the president, in
their appeal to the judiciary commit
tee on behalf Of the woman's national
party to kill bill which would author
lie the president to designate certain
areas in which it would be unlawful to
pass or loiter
The women said they were quite sure
that the measure was designed to pre-
vent them from picketing the White
House in the cause of nationwide
woman suffrage.
The secretary of war in a letter to
the committee asserts that the object
OF the bill is merely to give the federal
government authority to more ade-
Guately protect bridges. munition
plants, and arsenals during the war. At
present the government has no author
ity to make arrests Of persons loiter-
ing around such places.
Senator Sverman, acting chairman Of
the committee, said he did not believe
the committee would amend the bill so
as to make special exemption in favor
of women who picket the White House.
"To do so,' he said would be to le-
galize such picketing"
The women in their argument urged
that the effect of tine broad language Of
the bill might make it possible to pro-
hibit labor unions from picketing dur
ing a strike.
One of the speakers. Miss Mary Win
ser of Philadelphia, said the president
is "of an academic habit of mind and
used to speaking to students, who could
not reply" and that he had ceased
to be in touch with realities and that
ne "hypnotizes himself" into belief
| that he Is always right. She was
promptly reprimanded by the commit
! tee, Chairman Overman announcing
| that the committee was there to hear
arguments and not abuse of the presi-
dent Of the United States. Her remarks
criticizing the president were ordered
| stricken from the record.

PRICES REBOUND CHIEFLY BE-
CAUSE OF ABSENCE OF
SELLING PRESSURE.
WHEAT QUOTATIONS
Z SEEK LOWER LEVELS
Decline Is Duo to Chances Of an In
Gre sed Movement Of Winter Crop
Oats Are Governed in the Main by
Action of corn-Sharp Advance in
Hog Values Lifts Provisiona

Chicago, Aug. 1o.-Corn prices rallied
today aft : an early decline. Absence
Of selling pressure was chiefly respon-
sible for he upturn. Opening quota
ttons, which ranged from q cent off
to * cent higher, with December at
$L16A to s1.161a and May at s1.13A
to 1.13ss, were followed by a rise all
around to s. ell above yesterdays I'm
fish.
In later dealings prices underwent
decided setback as a result of en-
larged rural offerings and because Of
the withdrawal Of distillers as buyers.
The close was nervous at losses of rs
at s1.15$ to S1.151a and May at Slips
to S1.12A.
Wheat.
Chances Of an increased movement
OF the winter wheat crop tended to
weaken wheat. After opening 1 to ?
cents lower, at s2.21 for September, the
market fell to S2.17.
Later the market was further de-
pressed by attention being directed TO
the fact that the minimum price Of 81
in the food bill does not go into effect
until July 1, 1918. The market closed
unsettled at se.1s for September, and
a net decline Of cents.
Oats.
Oats were governed in the main by
the action Of corn. Talk of car scare
ity was emphasized by the bulls.
Provisions.
A sharn advance in the hog market
lifted provisions. Realizing developed,
however, and a reaction soon took
place.
