Chicago, April 3O.-Sharp upturns to-
day In wheat prices here reflected to q
considerable extent opinions expressed
by many traders that the bearish eff
feet of suppressing grain speculation in
Canada would be only transient so far
as markets in the United States were
concerned. It was not long however,

tually wiped out. There was much

Berlin, Jan 1.-The text Of the en-

reached Berlin as transmitted from
Paris by the Havas News Agency. The
general impression here is that the en-

forwarded to all the entente bel
ligerents.
The hope here is that the entente re-
ply has not closed the door on further
negotiations, but tho German en-
bassy indicated that the reply Is such
as to cause some doubt as to the re-
suit.
The American government, 1t was
made known here today, sent no
second note to neutrals subsequent to
the dispatch OF President Wilson 8
peace note, but American diplomats at
neutral capitals were instructed that
they should convey suggestion that
If the neutral governments thought IT
wise to take action on peace the
United States considered the time ops
1t i stotsa definitely chat 10 sther
goverr,sant Knew the United States
was conIeg plating such an action. that
the American government acted en-
tirely on It's own initiative and that no
attempt was made to act in concert
with any other nation or nations.
While the form Of tho instructions to
the American diplomats Transmitting
tho American note to neutrals was not
disclosed it was learned that the pres
ident considered tho instructions imma-
terial.
| It is omprobable that representa-.
tives would make 1t appear that the
United States desired similar action b!
other neutrals. Spain's suggestion OF
an entente Of neutral nations to define
the rights of neutrals was not COM
mcnted on today.
1t was reiterated today that as well
as being move for peace, the presi-
dents note was intended to point out
that the position OF neutrals was be-

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 1.--Large crowds
assembled In the grounds OF the state

Inauguration Of a governor. Two men,
Thomas E. Campbell, republican gov
ernor elect, and Governor q. W. T.
Hunt, the incumbent, continue to claim
the office, and adherents Of each claim
ed there would be double ceremony.
Rumors were in circulation that an
attempt would be made to prevent the
governor elect from entering the state
house. The only statement state Off
cials would make was that the govern
or had been re elected and would hold
the office.
Campbells friends declared he had
been duly declared elected and. being
in receipt of certificate to that effect.
will take over the office.
Campbell was declared elected by
the state canvassing board and given
la plurality Of thirty votes over Govern
or Hunt. Hunt Is contesting the cleo
ton on grounds of alleged fraudulent
voting in several precincts. The courts
are now inspecting the ballots. Hunt
claims that the result SO far bears out
his contentious. altho it Is not q re-
count.
T. E. Campbell, republican, was in
agurated governor, but there were no
inaugural ceremonies for Governor
Hunt, incumbent, but when Governor
Campbell went to the executive offices
he found them locked. There was no
disturbance.
After his address Governor Campbell,
proceeded to the executive offices. He
found deputies on guard there who said
because 1t was a legal holiday no one
could be admitted. Governor Hunt
left the capitol shortly before Governor
Campbell arrived. Governor Hunt said
he considered the oath Of office he took
Saturday before q notary public suf-
ficient to entitle him to the governor
ship.

London, Jan. 1.-The third New
Years eve Of the war was extremely
quiet in London. The dinner tables at
the restaurants were we'll filled but all
establishments closed at II o'clock, and
few people fingered in the streets or
elsewhere to watch the death of the
year 1916.
There was the traditional gathering
outside st. PauPs but it was a smaller
crowd than usual to sing "Auld Lang
Syne." For the first time since the war
began the cathedral clock bell, known
as Great Pauly" chiIned the last hour
of the year.
A few churches held midnight serv-
ices but these were sparcely attended.
The day had been observed as one of
national intercession and in recognition
of the men and women working for
their country.
The congregations in the leading
places of worship were large. King
George and Queen Mary and the royal
family, who had spent Christmas in
London, passed the years end at Sand

,cession services.
