That the story in the Journal on
the discriminating practice by the
railroads on wool rates has had ef-
feet, is shown by the introduction,
Saturday by Senator Goodirg, Of a
hard and fast long and short haul
clause amendment to the Interstate
Commerce act, that will take away
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission its discretionary powers to
permit charge of a higher rate for
short haul than for long cne, when
it deems conditions justly such a de-
parture from the general rule
The senator does not expect mis- bill
to be considered at this session, hut
will strive to bring it u in the De-
cember session, as he has information
tending to show radical departures
from the long and short haul principle
have been made in idaho.
On Tuesday a delegation of senators
from the farm bloc, headed by Sena-
tor Gooding, called on the president
and urged him, when the next vacancy
occurs on the tariff commission, to
appoint to the vacancy some man who
will represent the agricultural and
livestock industries. In view Of the
new reliance the president must place
on the tariff commission, under the
pending tariff bill, the farm bloc be-
lieves the farming Industry is fairly
entitled to representation on the COM
mission.

PORTO RICAN CHIEF
OF POLICE SENT TO
JAIL FOR CONTEMPT

San Juan, Porto Rico.-George
r. Stanton, for many years chief
of police of Porto Rico, has just
served a sentence of As hours in
Jail for contempt OF court. He re
fused to appeal to President Hard
ing TO set aside the sentence which
had been imposed by Federal Judge
Odlin.
The contempt charge was based
on a letter Mr.. Stanton wrote TO
the judge asking Tor an order 10
destroy some of the evidence which
had disappeared after the insular
police had made arrests and seized
liquor in Volstead cases.
Although Judge Odlin gave Snan-
ton until March Is TO enable him to
appeal to the president, the former
chief decided To take his medicine
instead of asking for presidential
favor.
The San Juan Times says he re-
ceived 500 callers while in jail and
refers to his term there as "a so
cial success. Among his visitors
in prison was Governor Reilly who,
with other citizens and officials had
vainly petitioned Judge Odlin to re-
nit the sentence. Stanton was met
at the Jail entrance by scores Of
friends who escorted him to his
home.
He was captain of ROoseyelt's
ROughriders in 1898 and afterward
served with General wood in Cuba.
President Roosevelt sent him TO
the canal zone as chief Of police
TO clean up the zone in the early
construction days and Is years ago
he was sent to Porto Rico to take
command OF the 200 policemen
composing the insuIar police force.
ShantOn's counsel told Judge Cd
lin. in making a plea in his behalf,
that the insular police had seized
10000 gallons Of liquor and made
$500 arrests in Volstead cases.

New York, March 18-The Stand
ard Oil issues and some of the low
priced minig stocks were the fea-
lures on the curb exchange today.
There was continued fair activity in
Vacuum Oil, Indiana Pipe, Buckeye
Pipe Line and tSandard Oil of In
diana. Among the mining stocks,
Boston and Montana was higher
and strength was shown in Nipis-
sing. Floor traders report that the
low priced ming stocks show indi-
cations of being favorites in the
speculation again, and many new
issues are expected on the board in
the near future. Early favorable
action on the application to the list
the shares of the Alpha Mines COM
pany is expected.
Professional operators were in
cliHed to take profits today, but
this supply was offset by renewed
buying by commission houses. The
Cities Service issues continued firm,
the old common being the leader.
Simms Petroleum sold up to its
high of yesterday and there was a
good demand for Mexico Oil and
Ryan Consolidated. Merritt Oil
and International Petroleum met
realizing sales in fair volume.
Tobacco Products were the lead
ers of the specialties. Postum Ger
cal continued it's advance and
reached another high record. Glen
Alden Coal was fractionally higher
and interest was shown in South
ern Coal because of the announce
ment of the new lift being started
at its properties in Pennsylvania.

DruGoods Market

Copyright, 1922.D

New York, March 1S.-Activity in
the drygoods market today was
confined principally to the clean
ing up odd lots. There was a
somewhat better inquiry for the
wider print cloth constructions
with prices about the same which
have prevailed throughout the lat
ter part of the week. Narrow
cloths were practically unchanged
Sheetings for the sugar bag trade
were in demand and some inquiries
for these constructions are said to
be still untitled.
Some descriptions of raw silk
were softer in the silk market to-
day, but trading was so small that
many of the quotations could only
be regarded as nominal. Broad
silks were taken in fairly good val
ume in the finished goods market
with prices unchanged.
WOOL.
Boston. March 1S.-Wool prices
were we'll maintained today, espe-
cially for the lower grades and
some manufacturer were in the
market for filling in grades. In the
coarser grades there was some ir-
regularity but prices did not suffer
to any marked extent. There seems
to have been a halt in buying
throughout the west, bidders being
unwilling to extend their offers UNI
til they are more certain about the
tariff situation The foreign mar
kets were reported fairly firm in
London, Melbourne and Buenos
Aires. Oregon No. 1 staple is quot
ed at $1.10 to SLIP secured basis.

WHEAT ERRATIC
WHILE CORN And
OATS ARE WEAK
tBy Consolidated Press.)


Chicago, March Is.-It was an
erratic market in wheat. For more
than half of the session the market
was encountering pressure in
bulges and buying on the dips, but
offerings frightened up and high
records of the session were made
during the last hour. At S1.39 for
May there was much long wheat
sold, but the offerings of the late
months we're scarce and the July
gained on the May as a result,
Local bulls were the best buyers,
but there was some buying by
eastern houses and also for north
west account Strength in north
west markets was a factor. Cash
wheat demand was slow both from
mills and for export Liverpool
spot wheat was 2 pence higher to
l pence lower and futures "a
pence to pa pence higher. Omaha
reported 10000 bushels of wheat
sold to Wichita and Kansas City,
Is. 900 bushels to Oklahoma mills.

bushels, compared with 667 600
bushels last year. Worlds ship

Corn was heavy from the start
and the rally in wheat failed to
bring about much buying. There
was pressure of long corn on the
market and the leading long IS evil
IDENTIFY filled up and unable to carry
any more corn. Cash demand was
poor both for domestic and export
account Primary receipts were
797 900 bushels, compared with
