OLD GUARD IS PANICNY
COVERS before STORM

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The old
guard is panicky. Teapot Dome is
bad enough, but other troubles loom.
investigations and probes are the or
der of the day as governmental scan-
dal after scandal is unearthed.
Things would not so serious If these
matters could be switched into the
federal court of some former corpor-
alton lawyer, but the senate indi-
Gates no desire to have the scandals
hushed up.
you are causing the people to be
suspicious Of government" shrek the
agents of big business. They are told
that the people are getting suspicious
of the spokesman for privilege.
The old guard dare not openly OPP
pose these Investigations, SO they
make flank attacks by attempted ridi-
cule and by pleading for "a fair trial.
for those yet in office who were par
ties to looting the nations resources.
In the senate, the agents of priv
ilege declare that body sis swept off
its feet by wave of hysteria"
This was said once too often last
week, and was answered by Senator
Caraway in speech that was marked
by whitening sarcasm.
ut may be that the senate is hys-
terical." said the Arkansas lawmaker.
"If it is, it is hysterical in trying to
see that crimes shall be punished and
the peoples property protected"
The ldisordered condition of the old
guard is best indicated by the manner
in which the committee to investigate
the attorney general was selected.
The old guard wanted the committee
appointed by the presiding officer of
the senate. The progressive element
wanted the committee selected from
the floor of the senate.
The old guard then assumed its IA
vorite pose when cornered. ITO not
let the presiding officer appoint this
committee would be a reflection on
his integrity; it would be diseourte-
ous," they said.
This had no effect on the progress
sives, who announced that the COM
mittee would be chosen from the floor.
The old guard had to accept the bitter
dose. Senator La Toilette nominated
Senator Brookhart as chairman The
other members of the committee ar
Messers. Moses and Jones, represent
ing the administration party, and
Messers. Robinson and Wheeler, rep
.resenting the minority party.
This incident is most significant II
indicates how impotent the old guard
has become.

NEXT ATTRACTION

Claiming PollOck's powerful roman
tic drama, 1.-The Fool" presented by
the Selwyns, comes to the Grand,
Sunday, March 80, for one night only
Authors. presidents of colleges, edi-
torial writer's and men in the big bust
ness world, clergy and laymen. the
righteous and unregenerate, have
borne testimony of the piece and of
its performance. In the first act, the
author depicts the upper world of
hypocracy and intolerance. The fool"
himself is a young rector in a wealthy
parish, but his preaching against the
preferred classes and a pleading for
justice for those less fortunate, costs
him his position. A econd act bring
him to the middle world OF those who
earn their bread by the labor of their
hands. Suspected and abused by the
very man he would help, the fool
cannot aid as strike mediator, for
the odds are too much against him.
Another act and another descent in
the social scale lead him to the world
of outcasts, the slums. Here his ef-
forts at settlement work lead to vio-
lent rejection by some, but are never
theless successful. At last he finds
consolation in his work, and living, in
a single room, feeling that he is really
rich man, since he has "neace,
friends, time to read and think and
dream and help" Briefly this is the
story of the most marvellous play of
the age, which will have an excellent
company of fifty for the presentation
here. The production will be dup
licate Of the one used during a years
run in New York
There are still a few good seats; ii

SUDDEN HOIST
 GIVEN WHEAT Material Reaction Fol lows Bulge In Values,
 However

CHICAGO, July 31.-Black rust news, together with indications of lib- eral export business, gave sudden hoist to the wheat market today. On the bulge in prices, however, selling enlarged, and brought about a ma terial reaction. Wheat closing quota tions were unsettled A to % net high CT, September $1.329s @1.32A and De cember $1.355s136. Corn finished at Ae lower to 13sc advance, oats 25se off tohc gain. and provisions un- changed to 45c higher
 Buying of wheat quickly, assumed broad proportions when shortly after the opening it was asserted that black rust in the final stages had appeared in Canadian wheat fields. Ruptured, postules on the head stem of wheat were reported at Napinko, Pierson and Melotta in southwest Manitoba, where week ago there was said to have been no signs of head stem infection.
 Seaboard buying led to estimate that as much as three million bushels had been taken for export, but nowhere near that amount was confirmed. Aside from the black rust and the export de- mand, dry weather compliments from Argentina were also a subject of mo- tice. On the other hand holders ef- forts to realize profits were the salient feature at the last.
 Although corn mare temporary re- sponse to wheat strength and nOtwith- standing that July touched a new high record, the corn market averaged low CT influenced largely big downturn in hog values. Besides, continued asser- tions of crop improvement were made. Month end adjustment of accounts made the oats market cratic.
 Provisions fell, owing to sympathy with the hog market, but afterwards rallied as a result of enlarged buying.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 31.--The cot ton market closed the season today with active trading and with a sharp rally, following an early decline which had carried the market down a little over $3 bale from yesterdays closing levels. The later upturn forced prices up more than $6.50 a bale from the low of yesterday, with final results show ing a substantial gain for the day of nearly $3.50 bale. October eased off to 26.77c during the first part of the morning, or 63 points down from the previous close, and later advanced to 2S12c, or 135 points up from the low. December advanced from 26.74c, or 54 points net down, to 28.06c, a gain of 132 points from the low. The close was virtually at the top and active months showed net gains for the day of GA to 66 points.
 The early weakness was due to a sharp break in Liverpool and to pri- yate reports of rather good rains in northern Texas. The decline was first checked by the 10 o'clock weather re- port showing no rains worth mention ing in the belt, and a little later on re- ports were received from Texas con- tradlcting the early advices of rains.
 During the afternoon, shorts covered freely, and 1t was reported that stop loss orders were uncovered in both American markets.
 Three more condition reports were nlads public during the day, the first showing an aveRaBe of l67.3 and the other two showing the same average of 6y.1.

Selling movement demonstrated the markets underlying strength however with reeessions held within narrow limits and prices showing market rally ing tendencies after offerings had been absorbed.
 With conferences underway looking to consolidation of the Erie with the Nickel Plate" bonds of the Erie rail road proved especially popular. The prior liens and the general. fours both moved up more than a point.
 Strength and activity of Baltimore and Ohio liens was linked with reports that preparations were underway for selling another $35,OO0,OOO refunding issue. The bonds, it is expected, will bear 3 per cent interest and be issued under the southwestern division mort gage.
 Both houses specializing in United States bonds expect the treasury to sell about $350,000,000 per cent six months notes in September to retire an equal amount of three notes maturing on that date.

< NEW YORK, July 31.-Fluctuations in the cotton market today covered an unusually wide range, the swing be- tween lowest and highest being not less than 133 to 136 points, with the mar ket closing strong at 3S to 77, points net advance.
 Further rains in the. southwest and a reTiewal of liquidation coupled with pronunced weakness at Liverpool opened the market here barely steady and 20 to 46 points lower. Enrther selling pressure soon broke October as low as 27.57c and December to 2G,S9c, or 66 to SS points below the previous close. Added to recent liquidation, today's early selling seemed to have eliminated most of the weak long in- terests, however, while at the same time q considerable short account was built UT owing to q tendency to increase private crop estimates and condition fig urges as a result Ot recent raihs.
 When shorts attempted to cover in the late forenoon, they found very lit tie for sale, and in the scare which de- veloped ran prices up above last nights close. The buying was later increased by large purchases for the account of Wall street and western interests were aetuated by rumors that the French reparations plan had been accepted by the interallied conference. October sold up ill the last few minutes to 28.93c tand December to 28.22c, show ing 6S tor points net rise on these two positions.
