TO MAKE PLANS
 FOR RESTORING
 WHEAT MARKET
Traders Fear Corner May Be Engineered by European
 Governments

CHICAGO. May 6.-Plans for the re- establishment of an open market in wheat following expiration of the wheat guarantee on June 1, will be discussed here tomorrow at meeting of representatives of boards of trade, country and terminal elevator ass O. citations, grain buyers, exporters and bankers, called by Julius H. Bacnes, wheat director
 The open market. including trading in futures, was suspended early in the war at the request of Herbert Hoover and has never been restored, as the government guaranteed price for wheat remains in effect until June 1.
 The Chicago board of trade and oth- CT exchanges throughout the country are anxious to resume trading in fu- . lures, but want assurances from the government to safeguard their market.
 They are particularly anxious for governmental protection against the pool of foreign governments, which has been buying grain for export. Present exchange rules forbid cor ner in grain in this country, but, un- less the government will give its sup port. the exchange men said. there is nothing to prevent foreign government manipulating the market and unduly depressing prices at the expense of the American farmers.

ASSERT JUDGE
 DAMAGED CASE
Indicted Miners Officers Say Instructions to Jury
 Were Not Fair

INDIANAPOLIS, May 6. - The gov ernment's answer to plea in abate- ment filed today by Charles Evans Hughes, special counsel for the Unit. ed Mine Workers of America, at the arraignment of the miners and In diana Operators on charges of con spiracy to violate the Lever act, will be begun tomorrow morning.
 The miners plea is based specifi- cally on that part of the instructions in which federal Judge Anderson called attention of the jury of ru- mored combination between the min CTS and operators, and which he called attention to a speech in con- gross in which a representative quot ed John l.. Lewis, then acting presi' dent of the United Mine Workers of America, as saying that the operators association and the miners union were working together for the pur- pose of wiping out competition and of making war on all interests in conflict with them.
 The contention of the defense is that the statement of the court was seriously prejudicial' to the inter- ests of the defendants, as also were the directions of the court that the jury inquire into the question as to whether the government Of the Unit cd States or a small group of men shall rule this country and whether we shall be governed by law or hy threats of force"

ADMIRAL SAYS SIMS DID HIM
 AN INJUSTICE
Not Sure He Made Remark Quoted, But If He Did He
 Didn't Mean It

WASHINGTON, May 6. - Denying that he had any feeling against the British, Rear Admiral William S. Ben son declared before the senate naval Investigating committee today that he had been done a grave injustice through Rear Admiral Sims interpre- tation of instructions before going abroad Admiral Benson said he could not recall whether in his final instruc- tioHs to Admiral Sims he had said ''don't let the British pull the wool over your eyes; we would as soon fight them as the Germans" but added that, if he had used such language. it was for the purpose of impressing upon the admiral that this country was still a neutral

 RELIEF
Leaders of House Anxious to Postpone Issue Till
 After Election

WASHINGTON, May 6.-After a se- ries of informal conferences, Demo- cratic and Republican members of the house agreed today there was no pros pect of enactment of soldier relief leg islation before the forthcoming recess for the political conventions.
 Representative Knutson of Minneso- ta, the Republican whip, said that many members felt that the whole question would go over until after the November election so as to avoid tre possible injection of partisanship in it's consideration.
 Representative Gardner of Texas, Democratic whip, and member of the ways and means committee which con ducted extensive hearings on relief legislation, declared sentiment was rapidly changing" and that a majority of the Democratic members of the com mittee were willing to let the bill continue to sleepfn committed"
 Much of the change in sentiment members said. was due to the large of protests against increasing the tax burdens and it's possible ef- feet on the cost of living.

 While not naming the Attorney General directly. Healy told the board that the crusade" of a high govern ment official against radicals was undoubtedly for the purpose of aid ing in the campaign of certain em- ployers of the country to secure laws establishing involuntary servitude He referred to sedition laws pro posed in congress and said that, while framed "osteatatiously to erad- icate BOlSheVism and anarchism," '" they would have tied labor hand and foot

Jurors in WoottOn Case State Reasons For Decision That DeportatiOns Made in
 1917 Were Necessary to Avoid Disaster

Members of the jury who found H. E. Wootton not guilty of Kidnapping Fred w. Brown are unanimous In their opinion that the deportation was justified, according to statements by them in recent interviews. In reaching their verdict the law of ne cessity was not considered. the court having instructed the jury to first de- eide whether or not Brown was forcib- ly deported or whether he had been given reasonabel opportunity to leave the line of deportees.
 However. each of the jurors ex- pressed his belief that Wootton's ac- quittal would have been reached just as soon had the question of whether conditions in the Warren District warranted such strenuous methods to relieve the community of a threaten ing peril Following are condensed statements made by the jurors:

WASHINGTON. May 6. - Concen tration by Carranza of troops at Mex ico City caused rebel representatives here and American army officers to believe today it might indicate the presidents determination 10 gather about him a force sufficiently strong to enable him to transfer his seat of government.
 May Move Capital
 The obvious purpose of such con. centration, it was explained. would be the defense of the capital but, accord ing to military experts. Mexico City is so difficult to defend that Car ranza might be expected to employ the same tactics he did when Villa gained the ascendancy in 1914. and again set up his capital at Vera Cruz.
 Revolutionary agents here agreed il would be possible for Carranza to utilize d comparatively small force Of loyal troops for a stand somewhere outside the capital. and that it might even be possible for him to force his way to his old temporary capital at Vera Cruz. and from there direct counter movement IL would be pos sible for CarranZa to take with him to Vera Cruz or to some other point the officials of the supreme court and a considerable quantity of supplies and money. but observers asserted his position would then be no stronger than that of Villa or any other leader conducting Independent operations
 The possible success of such tao tics. they declared. depended wholly upon radical change in popular opinion.
 To Attack Puebla
 Information based on news con. tained in the Mexico City newspapers of recent date indicated that Car. ranza was prepared to send General Murguria south into the state of Puebla at the head of a considerable force to attack the rebels that have been gathered there under the com mand of General Pablo Gonzales. who recently joined the revolt The fed eral garrison in the city Of Puebla is
