tribution the same thing?

quota is merely the luxuriant imagination
of a Y. M. G. A. young man, but n cam

committee.

vestigating committee of the Senate.

Miss Jennie Walters, the only dauRh-
ter Of the late William r. Walters, the
Baltimore millionaire and founder Of

lano's attentions to Miss Walters we're
resented by her father, who opposed the
marriage.
His opposition was Of no avail When
Mr.. Walters died he left Mrs. Dclano
fifty cents. His son, Henry Walters,
was the chief beneficiary under the
will. At his earliest convenience he
hastened to New York, met his sister
and conducted her To n safe deposit
company, where he had stored one-half
Of the securities left him by his father.
These he handed over To Mrs. Delano
They consisted mostly of stocks and
bonds Of the Atlantic Coast Line, whose
value has since jumped by leaps and
bounds
Even before young Walters had trans

inherited from their father Mr.. De

More than Five.

Chicago. Sept. 15.-Big breaks in the
price of wheat, corn and oats took place

sterling exchange. Wheat dropped as
much as e15 cents bushel, and closed
semi-denorahsed at the bottom figures
of the day, 81 229M to $40 for December
delivery and S2.3613 for March.
The smash in prices carried corn down
so cents and oats SIS cents. Shutting
down Of several food manufacturing
plants added TO depression, and so, too,
did reports that on instruction from Eu-
rope seaboard wheat exporters had sudden
ly withdrawn from the market Besides
there were indications that rural holders of
corn were hquidating, influenced by pros
poets of huge crop.
The greater part of the decline came
Just before the market closed. Prices
