LAWLESS DEEDS
AT MIAMI STIR
IRE OF BRITISH

London. - Colonel Wedgwood,
member of parliament, asked the
under secretary of state for foreign
affairs in the house of commons
recently, whether his attention had
been drawn to the flogging of
George Doty, a British subject, at
Miami, Fla. Colonel Wedgwood
said that the whipping was done
presumably by the same gang that
tarred and feathered the Rev. Phil
ip S. Twin"
Colonel Wedgwood asked also
whether Doty had been forced 10
leave America, whether any report
on this case was made by the Brit
ish vice consul and what protec-
ton or prospect of protection there
was for their subjects in Miami.
Cecil 3. Harmsworth, the under
secretary for foreign affairs, said
In reply that he had no official in
formation on the matter but would
ask the British ambassador at
Washington to report on it
The Rev. Philip S. Irwin. Brit
| ish subject, rector of a church in
the negro quarter of Miami, was
/ whipped, tarred ana Ieathered III
| July last by masked men who tried
TO make him promise to leave Mi
ami on the threat of being lynched.
| The action was reported to have
been inspired by reports that Ir-
| win was in favor of social and po-
litical equality for negroes. After
| the incident, Rev. Mr.. Irwin
said he would mot insult the Amer
lean flag" by applying to the Brit
| ish authorities for protection.
Subsequently, Mr.. Harmsworth,
Of the British foreign office, stated
in reply to a question in the house
of commons that the British gov
eminent did not intend to make any
demonstrations to the United
States in the Irwin case. as he was
confident that the American auth
critics would see that justice was
done.

STOCK MARKET
STILL REPORTS
WHEAT DECLINE

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Wheat under
went fresh declines in prices today
largely owing to continued weak
ness in the New York stock market
and to unfavorable reports about
general business conditions. The
market was also bearishly affected
by assertions that yesterdays ex-
port business amounted only to
500, 900 bushels. Besides, pit trans
actions this morning lacked VOL
ume. Opening quotations, which
varied from unchanged figures to
&c lower, with September at s1.22
to S1.22A, and December $1-23 to
s1-23h, were followed by a mater
ial general setback.
Rallies failed to hold. The mar
ket closed heavy, 2Ac to Sc net
lower with September s1.19h to
119A. and December $1.20A to
$1.21.
Rural offerings continued liberal
and the corn market closed weak,
Nc to %01c lower, with September
"a 70 0541 2c to 541ac.
New low figures for the season
were made on corn and oats. Lack
of support was a feature. Corn OPP
ened unchanged to 1ac lower, in
September at 54sc to 55c,
and afterward declined all around.
Oats started &c to sc off, Sep
TENDER 33hc to 1890, and weak
ened still further. Sharp breaks in
the provisions market resulted from
downturns in the value of hogs and
grain.

dominion status contained two
falsehoods. Where is Ireland ?
There is no Ireland. but two bro
ken pieces OF Ireland.
What was offered was not even
dominion status. 1t was admitted
the dominions had the right to Sc
cede and could get out if they de-
sired. We are told we must stay
in, whether we like it or not.
I'VE are not claiming the right to
secede. There can not be ques-
ton of secession, because there has
never been a union.
Northern Ireland has regarded
itself from it's own viewpoint, and
in entering negotiations they need
not give up that point Of view. l
would be willing to suggest to the
Irish people that they give up a
good deal in order to have Ireland
able to look into the future with
out anticipating distracting inter-
nal problems.
All the time these negotiations
have meant an attempt to get into
touch with the people of the north
and tell them we have no enmity.
and would make sacrifices for them
which we would never think OF
making for Britain. We will be
ready to give them every safe
guard any reasonable person could
say they were entitled to, and we
are ready to leave the question of
the north to external arbitration
or leave the whole question to ex-
ternal arbitration.
"England's claim Is unreason-
able. The claims of the minority
in Ireland are unreasonable. But
even unreasonable claims we would
be ready to consider, and l for one
would be ready to go long way to
give way to them. particularly in
their sentiment, if we could get
them to come with us and consider
the interests of their own country
and not the allying themselves with
foreigners"

shares added to their losses dur

exchange today. Foreign oils con-
unued heavy. Shell Transport los

records were made by half a score
OF stocks, including Houston Oil.
Chandler, Industrial Alcohol and
American Linseed, preferred at de-
clines of l and Ia to 80 points.
Equipments, metals and chemicals
also were lower, but sugars were
only slightly affected by the cut in
the National Sugar dividend and
the suspension OF the Cuban price

oils rallied the list for a time, but
prices reacted again before noon.
Call money opened at per cent.
Selling of oil shares was resumed

their operations on more unfavor-
able adyices concerning that indus
try from Mexico. Mexican Petro-
leum soon fell IL points and Gen

were heavy. Declines of l to .
points were made by United Fruit,

NOON LETTER

Chicago, Aug. IT. - December
wheat sold s1.29 August 10 and
$1.22k today. The decline Is lib
eral for this class of market. We
believe wheat will sell lower on the
coming northern receipts Eng
land appears to be awaiting the
100, 900, 900 Canadian new surplus.
New York says Germany will re-
quire 100000 more wheat and
Italy 100000. These totals are
not bullish when compared with the
United States business reaction now
proceeding and generally believe in
an Indifferent winter. The $780,
900 wheat reported yesterday for
export is still unexplained. Pri-
mary wheat and shipment totals so
far this week are not bearish on
this break Corn visible may gain
million this week. Oats visible is
still gaining fast A marvellous
spot oats situation. Lard weak on
big stocks, slump in marks and
heavy decline in hogs. Overnight
the overdue rally in the grains may
be delayed until Thursday.

MERCHANTS TO
CLOSE FOR DAY
Stores VIII Not BE Open Next
Thursday, East Moline Day
mt the Joslin Fair.

East Moline stores will be closed
all day Thursday in order that the
merchants and their employees may
attend East Moline day at the
Joslin fair. R. E. StoIz. secretary
of the East Moline Commercial
club, has charge of the closing
movement and he says that he ex-
poets a large number of East Mo-
liners to be at the fair.
Thursday is one of the biggest
days of the fair and those who at
tend that day are guaranteed a
great show. The biggest attrac-
ton on the program is judging of
the horses and cattle. This will
be done in the forenoon and some
fast races will be held in the
afternoon.
Secretary Stolz reported this
morning that 80 per cent of the
merchants had signified their will
ingness to close on fair day. More
stOres are expected to join the
ranks of those closing before next
week.

PRICE OF ice
WILL DROP 81
Cold Weather Causes Consumers TO
Cease Buying--will Cost $3.50
a Thousand.

The price of ice in Moline is COM
ing down. The cost is still s1e a
ton, but it is very probable that
there will be a cut by the end of the
week.
The chilly August weather is Civ
en- the credit for lower prices. Ice
men had expected hot days and
were loaded up. With the advent of
November breezes the sale of ice
fell off and the dealers are stuck.
Just how much the price of ice
will be cut has not been announced
as yet. Men who know, however,
are predicting a drop of So ton.
This will bring the cost back to the
early season figure of $3.50 a thou
hand pounds.
The ice man says shrinkage is de-
creasing sufficiently to enable him
to make a cut without any serious
loss
