wheat PIT WILL
Open TOMORROW
Plans for Resumption Of Trading
in Futures Announced BY Chlca-
go Board Of Trade.

Chicago, July 14.-Plans for the
resumption of trading in wheat fu-
lures, commencing tomorrow morn
ing, were announced today by the
directors Of the board of trade.
The probable opening price for
wheat varies from $3.50 to $2.75 in
the opinion of traders. Deliveries
will be quoted for December and
March.
Members were notified that the
war time supervision Of contracts
for future delivery in store by
grade alone will be continued. The
directors authorized the executive
officers to exercise such supervision
under strict seal Of secrecy. with
full power to order curtailment OF
adjustments when they seem nee
essary.
Recognizing that the attempt tc
reestablish the open market is be-
ing made under abnormal condi'
tions, the attention Of the members
is called to the fact that response
bility for the markets conduct
rests with them. The directors
urge that every adeql tie protection
be behind every contract, since
transportation facilities are far
from ample, that crop conditions
and world conditions are uncer.
tain and fluctuations are expected
to be wide compared with normal
conditions.

Double Murderer Has But Two Re.
grots-That He Killed Two
and Spent Too Much.

Chicago, July 14.-Carl Wanderer
was transferred today from the
Hudson avenue detention home to
the county Jail where he was placed
in "murderers' row." He is the
strangest and the calmest inmate
in the history Of that row, police
said.
1t was expected that during the
day the two murder indictments
against Wanderer, voted Monday
by q grand jury, would be returned
before Chief Justice Grove of the
criminal court.
The prisoner awaits and desires
q quick trial and an early execution
he said. He spent much time over
half a dozen prayer books and
bibles. which were brought to him
by his father, and his sisters,
Laura, his twin, and Mrs. Bernard
Roth.
Much obliged for the books, -
said Wanderer, land don't take this
SO hard. I'm really sorry about it.
OF course, but a mans got to take

The former army lieutenant, who
slew his wife and q man whom he
had hired to be on hand so he could
be killed and branded as q high
wayman. said he has but two re-
grets. one that he killed two per-
sons; the other. that he spent too
much money on Julia Sclmitt, the
l7-year-old girl who caught his
fancy some time before he tired OF
his wife.

France.
tBy United Fress)
Paris, July 14.-Failure of Presi-
dent Paul Deschanel to resume his
executive duties today, as had been
promised by his political support
ers, gave rise to q new crop Of ru-
mors regarding his physical and
mental condition. Friends Of the
president had insisted he would be
able to officiate at ceremonies in
honor of Bastile day. The best
available reports said his condition
was only slightly improved. Con-
flicting reports Of Deschanel's con-
dition were heard and in political
circles 1t was declared measures
would be taken to name q vice
president to take the presidents
ONCE in cases like that existing.
Newspapers opposed to Des-
chanel fatty declare the accident
suffered by Deschanel had been the
result of mental arrangement rath-
er than the cause Of such affliction,
as has been intimated in some quar-
ters. On the other hand, . delega-
ton of political leaders visited the
country house where Deschanel ID
convalescing and, reported him
mentally sound but in a state Of
physical exhaustion.
Press Discusses Casa
All newspapers carry editorials
discussing the presidents condi-
ton, some declaring his illness ia
showing rapid improvement Other
newspapers argue with equal
warmth that there is no hope for
his recovery in the near future.
Some charge his mind is affected
and that the report OF his illness is
being used as q screen to prevent
the French people knowing he can
not recover.

THIS POOR
YEAR FOR A
new PARTY
Fear Of Radicalism VIII
Keep Most Voters
From Joining.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Arxus).

Chicago, July 14.-Outside Of the
ranks of the professional politi-
clans the nominees of the Repubn-
can and Democratic conventions
have awakened no popular chords
In the west and were it not for the
suspicion that in troublous times
like the present a third party would
add to the governmental confusion
rather than stability, this would be
an ideal third party year.
As 1t is, there are progressives
galore who are eager to take refuge
somewhere, but the tendency Of the
minority groups meeting in Chicago
to 60 to the extremes Of radicalism
will keep large numbers of voters
in the two old line parties as a
choice between lesser evils. But
both Senator Harding and Governor
Cox have splendid opportunities of
winning much Of this disaffected
vote. By showing themselves able
to rise above the organization en-
vironment whence they came, they
will regain much Of what would
otherwise be . dead loss. For this
time the disgruntled voter isn't 60
ing to express hillself necessarily
in q third party but by something
infinitely more subversive of cam
paign calculation, namely staying
away from the polls.
West Disappointed.
Inside the Republican party the
situation is different only in degree
from that which exists in the Dem
ocratic party. For the fact 10, .
decided sentiment prevailed In the
west for Hiram johnson. Herbert
Hoover. Leonard Wood and William
Gibbs McAdoo. Neither Cox nor
Harding could awaken a ripple of
interest where any OF the first four
would produce an emotional up
heaval. Leonard Wood appealed to
the youth Of the nation and to bus
mess folk as q decisive character
who typified national efficiency. HI
ram Johnson came forth as the cru
sader Of the west, uninfiuenced and
uncontrolled by party bosses or or
ganizations, but full OF a doctrine
Of America first that sounded plaus-
ible. Herbert Hoover stood out as
the heroic product Of the war, a
master mind in executive and ad-
ministrative tasks, an amateur In
politics and therefore not altogeth-
er eliminated from future consider
alton simply because he bungled
his cards this year. William Gibbs
