CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
SHOWING NERVOUSNESS
Fluctuations in Corn Followed by
Moderate Setback-Wheat Rea-
sonably Steady.

CHICAGO, March 31.--Nervous fiuctu-
ations in the corn market took place to-
day, with prices averaging lower during
the early trade The chief factor was
uncertainty as TO whether Chere would
be further developments regarding
charges that the market had been
last week. Many traders
contended that at least temporarily
prices had been weakened by general
withdrawal of speculators, and that nu-
merous orders to buy had been cam
celed. The opening, which varied from
unchanged figures to q lower, with
May IS to rs Is. was followed by a mod
crate setback all around and then tran
sient upturns. which in some cases car
ried the market above Saturdays finish.
Selling on the part Of houses with
eastern connections kept the wheat mar
ket from rallying much, although an
upward tendency was noticeable as re-
suit Of higher quotations at Liverpool.
After opening unchanged to Ss advance,
May 1.o1 to 1.01A and July 1.02S4 to
L. .o3, wheat held within marrow limits.
Oats were firmer owing to further de-
lay to seeding. Initial prices were u
to g up, May As, and there was little
if any reaction.
Higher quotation prices in the hog
market gave frmness to provisions
Wheat closed strong, R to 12s net
higher, May 1.02A to 1.02% and July
1.035s to 1.0334.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 3i.--The

tion situation to crisis. The men
ask a SO per cent pay increase; an
eight-hour day with split runs elimi-
mated; time and a half for overtime,
Sundays and holidays; d day off
weekly; two weeks vacation with
pay and ten-minute layover at the
end of each run instead of four min
utes. The difference in the pay sched-
ule, which would be raised to IS cents
an hour for men employed under six
months, 81 cents for those working
over six and under twelve months
and 80 cents for all having 4 year or
more service, would add $4,000. 900
annually TO operating expenses. The
operating allowance of the company
already shows a deficit and the pres
ent 6-cent fare is the maximum un-
der the grant under which the COM
pany is permitted to operate. The
workers declare their demands must
be met by May I.

SENATOR PHIPPS INTRODUCES
BILL CALLING FOR GRAZING FEE

rings disappeared from the Sleicher
home about December Is last, but the
Sleichers said nothing about their loss,
believing that in that way the articles
would be the more easily recovered.
Charles Sleicher, father of the prose-
cutting witness, told of seeing the miss
ing ruby ring on the finger Of the
bride and remarking to her what .
pretty ring she was wearing. When
his son, the prosecuting witness, ap-
peared, the girl ran down the street
for two blocks. Miss Phoebe French,
sister of Mrs Sleicher, testified that
about the last Of January she saw Miss
Hanson, now Mrs. Downing, wearing
her sisters diamond ring, and recog-
nized it by the platinum mounting.
When young Downing took the stand
in his own behalf he claimed that he
bought the ruby ring in question Of
Montgomery Ward, but he failed to
produce the bill for the same or the
check or money order which he sent
to pay for this and some other goods,
which he was not able to describe. A
pair of scizzors which he was accused
of stealing from the Sleicher home,
, Downing claimed he had had in his
possession for the past eight years.
.Justice Rice hold that tho tastimonv
indicated that Downing was probably
guilty, and placed him under $500
bond to appear at the March term Of
the district court.

MRS. HO1z SURREN-
DERs TO SHERIFF

Mrs. Ben Hotz, who escaped from
Glenwood several weeks ago, after her
home was searched and she knew that
the officers had warrant for her on
a charge of moonshining, returned to
Glenwood last Monday and walked
into the sheriff's office and remarked,
"Well, here I am.'
Undersheriff Rater accompanied the
volunteer prisoner up town where she
secured bond for her appearance at
the coming session of the district court.
She says she will be ready to 60 to
trial when court opens March 4.
When Mrs. Hotz left here the night
after her home was searched, she was
able, by the aid of an accomplice, to
elude the vigilance Of the officers until
she was safely out of the country. She
was later located in Idaho, and recent
ly it was learned that she was in Den
YER, and Sheriff Winters had advice
about week ago that she was in Den
yer and had bought ticket for Grand
Valley, where she is known to have
some friends. However, she did not
leave Denver on the train which Win
ters expected would bring her into
Garfield county, but deputy was
keeping sharp lookiut for her at Grand
Valley, with instructions to place hel
under arrest as soon - abe could be
found.
But Mrs. Hotz says she is tired OF
being fugitive from justice, and
hence her voluntary action in surren
dering TO the authorities. She failed
to state where she has spent the time
since her hasty departure from Gar
field county.

national resources secured to cor
responding degree.
1t is not unlikely that one reason
which has heretofore operated to pre-
vent legislation has been the general
belief in the availability Of a suffi-
cient area of grazing lands to supply
the demand as it then existed, and the
objections of stockmen to any inter-
ference with free grazing on public
lands. This privilege so long enjoyed,
and the substantial basis of all stock
growing operations in the public land
country, naturally came in time to be
regarded, by the stockmen in the ma
ture of right, rather than privilege.
The arrival Of time when our fer
tile prairies and otherwise tillable
lands, would be exhausted seemed too
far distant for consideration; thus
the matter has gone until now, after
the settler and homesteader in effect
has left only such public lands as are
not suited to their uses, are we con-
fronted with the question of what
shall be done with our public lands
that are best adapted to grazing, and
are being used for that purpose with.
out any supervision on the part of the
government.

FRANK !. RULE DIES
BY HIS own HAND
Gave No Intimation Of His
Intention to Take Life and
Left No Explanation
FUNERAL HELD HERE

This community was shocked when
it was learned last Friday morning
that Frank j. Rule had taken his life
by shooting, at his home in Gypsum.
Our people were all the more startled
at the tragic news because of the fact
that only Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs.
Rule were seen on the streets Of Glen
wood and many of our citizens had
talked to them and noted that Mr..
Rule appeared to be in happy frame
of mind, barring a little anxiety oven
the condition of one of their sons
whom they had just brought to tho
Glenwood sanitarium suffering from
typhoid fever. Mrs. Rule remained in
Glenwood in order to be with her son,
and Mr.. Rule returned to his home in
Gypsum.
Mr.. Rule was alone in his home Fri
day morning and, apparently in fit
of dependency, he sat down on the
kitchen floor, placed the muzzle of his
revolver against his right temple, and
pulled the trigger. The bullet passed
entirely through his head, crashed
through the kitchen window and lodg-
ed against tree some distance away,
where it was found by Deputy Sheriff
Van Horn of Gypsum. Death was evil
IDENTIFY instantaneous.
1t was near noon that two neighbor
giils RODE up to the Rule home for q
visit, and finding that apparently
there was no one at home they peeped
in through the window and saw the
body lying PROSTATE on the floor. They
gave the alarm at once and an investi-
cation convinced all that it was .
plain case of suicide, the motive for
which has not yet been discovered, as
no note was left by the dead man to
explain his rash act.
Francis ]. Rule was born in Canton,
New York, December 8, 1876. He came
to Colorado with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank ]. Rule, in 1879. The fam
lily lived for many years in the Divide
creek country. Frank was married
March 80, 1901, at Eagle, to Miss
Rena @. Randle. He is survived by his
wife, one daughter and three sons, ono
Of whom is now in the hospital SUI
fering an attack Of typhoid fever, and
has not been informed Of his fathers
tragic demise. Mr.. Rule 8 father died
less than year ago, and his mother y
now in California visiting two sons
and daughter.
The body was brought to the Glen
wood home Of Mrs. ]. 8. Strows sister
Of the deceased, and the funeral was
held Tuesday afternoon from the
Methodist church, the service being
conducted by the Rev. Thos W. Stamp,
assisted by the Rev. Philip D. Norvell.
Interment was in Rosebud cemetery,
