MISSING CONVICT MAY
BE INSIDE PRISON

The police of every town between New
York and Ossinlng are searching for Pat
rick Dealey, a convict who escaped from
Sing Sing prison Friday night after the
performance of Honey Girl" musical
comedy presented by the prisoners un-
der the auspices of the Mutual Welfare
League There Is a possibility. 1t was
said at the prison last night. that Dealey
may be hidden inside the walls, as the
guards on the doors of the auditorium
are positive he did not pass out that
way. If he is. Warden Lewis E. Lawes
expects to capture him within few
hours.
Warden Lawes said that Dealey, by
escaping during the performance of the
convicts' show. deliberately broke faith
with the prison authorities, and that as
n result it is very likely that the priv
ileges of the convicts will be curtailed.

Stowaway With Flute
'Haunts' Liner America

THE steamship America of the
United States Lines, which
arrived yesterday. had a
large list of passengers from
Bremen. A stowaway who played
on a piccolo in the steerage, while
hidden from the ships crew. caused
the report to so about that the
ship was haunted. 1t was thought
that Otto Schmidt. who died while
working as a coal passer, while the
ship was at sea, was haunting the
America, but the discovery of four
stowaways, including the one with
a piccolo. set the report at rest.
The ship brought 1,193 passengers.

year the proportion was close to 100 per
cent, and during October it was s4s per
cent. Better opportunities on land and
the preference shown by some Pacific
coast operators for Orientals are as
signed as the reasons for the drop.
The November figures showed net
gain of 1876 In total placements. due more
to the shifting of laid up vessels than to
greater actual operating activity. There
were 5,513 signed on for ocean service
and 2,508 for coastwise.

WHEAT BID UP WHEN
STRIKE TALK BEGINS
Report About Interference
With Transportation of
Grain Starts Trend.

CHICAGO, July. 1o+Upturns in the
price OF wheat resulted to-day largely
from talk about curtailment Of grain
receipts because OF railway and coal
strike interference with transportation.
The wheat market closed unsettled. Nc.
to 1Kc. net higher. with September
$1l11< to $ii1h and December $1.13h to
s1.1s%. Corn lost Nc. to 1Mc.. oats a
shade to- 5sc. and provisions 216c. to 3oc.
Reports that tho Chicago and Alton
Railroad had checked loading of wheat
In Illinois and had enbargoed shipments
of livestock and periehable commodities
formed the most specific basis for dis
quiet which wheat traders manifested
In regard to labor trouble. 1t was evil
dent nearly from the start to-day. how
ever. that strike developments we're at.
tracing more attention than has been
the rule heretofore In the wheat mar
ket.. The only decline which bears were
able to force came at the opening, and
was associated with uncertainty over
German financial conditions.
Evening UP for the Government crop
report occupied the wheat trade In
the late dealings. The majority Of
dealers anticipated that the report
would prove bullish. Threshing delays.
together with announcement Of a de-
crease In the United States visible sup
ply total. tended also to lift prices. but
in the final half hour the gains were
offset more or less by selling to realize
profits.
Corn and oats prices were weaker on
account of breaking Of long drought
in northern Illinois. On the decline.
though. oats were in demand for New
England and for export.
Provisions reflected setback In. the
value Of hogs. 1t was said, too. that
Germans were trying to conceal pur-
chases.
