Higher prices witnessed in the wheat
market today We're largely a result of
attention given to consequences of the
possible enactment of the McNary
Haughen bill. Wheat closed unsettled
at &c TO &c net advance, May 1.02s to
1.O2S q 1.03 and July 1.05 to lob, with
corn varying from shade decline to 1c
gain and oats a shade to SC up. In
provisions the outcome ranged from &c
off to rise of ORC.
1t was contended by a leading au-
thority that if the McNary-Hughen bill
became d. law an attempt would be like
ly to be made to establish $1.25 and
perhaps $50 4 bushel as the price of
wheat Under such circumstances trad
ers showed considerable disposition to
avoid the selling side of the market
and to purchase a good deal more
freely.
Resides. there were complaints Of
lack of reserve moisture i'll the spring
wheat states and of delay to seeding
in Canada. Prospect of a liberal re-
spring wheat this season received more
notice, too, than has heretofore been
the rule. And so. likewise, did the
fact that primary arrivals were less
the end of the day. however, part Of
the advance was lost through sales to
realize profits.
Corn averaged higher in sympathy
with wheat and owing TO smallness Of
receipts. There was also slightly

BATTLING SNOW IN
PASSAGE Of ALASKA

Dutch Harbor. Alaska. April II
(By A. P.)-With elaborate prepara-
tons already made, additional plans
to facilitate the passage Of an AM
erican army squadron around the
world were going forward at Dutch
Harbor (Unalaska) tonight.
Snow was falling here, but reports
received from Chignik, 900 miles
eastward, and the last stop of the
expedition on the American contin-
ent, had indicated that three of the
four planes engaged in the adven-
ture would fly to Unalaska soon. The
word from Chignik was that Lieuten-
ant Lowell H. Smith,, Lieutenant
Erics Nelson. and Lieutenant Leigh
Wade, the Tiers who reached that
point while their commander, Major
Frederick l.. Martin, was stopped at
Kanatak, 40 miles further back on
case. were getting hard boiled on
Alaska weather"
Twice these three aviators had
made a days stage with an Alaska
tempest rocking their machines and
pounding hard Alaska snow into
their eyes. This is the last land sta
ton for electrical communication on
the route of the fliers. until they
reach Japan. Communication be-
tween here and the Kurile Islands,
Japan, 1858 miles further on to have
been maintained by the cutters Hal
da and Algonquin of the United
States coast guard which arrived in
Dutch Harbor yesterday.
But Lieutenant Clayton Bissell. ad-
vance officer for the fight, announced
today he would place an emergency
station on Atka Island. $50 miles be-
yond here. and the next scheduled
stop, at once. Lieutenant Bissell,
returning from the wst, reported that
buoys for anchoring the plane5. were
already at Atka and at Attu Island,
$50 miles beyond Atka.
In maintaining communications
and in otherwise aiding the fiiers,
the Algonquin and the Eaida are to
be assisted by the Elder. a small
boat of the United States fisheries
service.

relevant" F'rowning, he replied, aft
err slight pause. Il could hardly say
yes"
"well, practically" suggested Mr..
Patterson.
IF 1 had something else" began
Thaw, only to be interrupted by Mr..
Patterson's gesture toward the oppos-
ing counsel with the request that they
examine the witness.
Views diametrically opposite to those
of alienists who had testified that
Thaw was sane were expressed by four
alienists who took the stand at the
afternoon session of court.
Thaw was described as a psyche
path" by DIR. Earl d. Bond, physician
in-charge at the asylum where Thaw
is confined.
SIS a psychopath necessarily in
sane?" he was asked.
NO" was the reply. DR.. Bond added
that during the six years he had had
Thaw under observation he had not
seen anything to indicate insanity.
I'm your opinion, has he or has he not
been restored to a sound state of mind?"
queried Mr.. Dickson.
81 do not think he has" DIR. Bond
said. In response to another ques-
ton, the alienist stated he would not
consider it safe" to have Thaw re-
leased.
DIR. Bond admitted, under question
ing, that Thaw's kindness and affection
for some pet rabbits he was allowed to
have at the asylum "evened up any
cruelty shown them as related in pre-
vious testimony in the case.
An incident of alleged cruelty when
Thaw was Is years old was related by
DR.. Hobart A. Hare. professor Of Their.
apeutics and diagnosis at Jefferson
Medical College, another witness, who
termed Thaw morally insane"
DR.. Hare stated that he first met
Thaw in 1886 on steamship bound
from New York to Antwerp. Some
,, children We're playing a deck game.
he said, and Thaw came along and
deliberately stepped on one child's
| fingers, smiling as though amused
when the child screamed in pain.
| The alienist told of two visits to
! examine Thaw at the asylum on
| March 2S and April l last.
Did you ask Thaw about the kill
ing of Stanford White?" Mr.. Dickson
asked.
81 did He evaded the question"
was the reply.
DR.. Hare declared that should Thaw
| be liberated, he will do the same
! things all over again-practicall
practically every evil that has been
testified to in court"
| DR.. Daniel II. Fuller, in charge Of
| the mems department at the asylum.
followed Dr. Hare on the stand ,testi-
! flying that although Thaw had shown
great physical improvement since be-
ing committed to the asylum, his
mental improvement was very little"
He stated his opinion that Thaw
was "of unsound mind" and that he
would be unable to administer his
! affairs if relea sed.
DR.. S. De Witt Ludlum, physician
at the Friends Asylum, Philadelphia.
declared Thaw was "of unsound
mind" and that if he We're released
there would be a repetition of things
that have happened"
Shortly afterward, Judge Monaghan
adjourned court until Monday, on &C
couont of the Easter holidays.
| Evelyn Nesbit was not in court
again today. Although she came to
Philadelphia. she returned to Allan

was cast on the Island Of Kodiak, off
Alaska. in 1896. and was traded for
food by Count Nicolai Resenov to the
Hispanic- Californians when the Rus
sian Alaskan colonies were in dan
ger of starvation. When it came into
their hands the Franciscan friars who
were then in charge Of the Califor-
mia chain of missions, hammered q
crude cross and the inscription DE
San Ferno" on the bell above the
Russian inscription. This Spanish
abbrevation means "Of San Fernan-
do"
AS the Island of Kodiak was
rather barren spot in 1886, it seems
probable that no old bell was ever
made under greater difficulties. 1t
has been disclosed from Russian
archives that Alexander Baranoff,
the church warden, obtained the
copper for the bell from Russia,
whence it was shipped him by his
superior in the church. one Shelikoff.
Baranoff changed his headquarters
from Kodiak to Sitka in 1905, and
the bell moved along with him. Then
Count Resenov took it with him to
California when he sailed there in
search of food. When California was
lost to Spain and then to Mexico the
old brass bell was taken from the
