Week Finds Prices Dropping Along
With Futures.

Continued liquidation in the future
market carried prices of all grains to
sharply lower levels during the week
ending February IA, states the United
States Department of Agriculture in
It's weekly grain market review. Cash
grain markets were very dull. par
ticularly for feed grains, and trading
was restricted by the unsettled con-
dition of the future markets.
Cash prices declined with the flu
lures and premiums were also rather
weak. No. 1 dark Northern at Min
neapolis sold within a range of Sc I'M
der to 40c over the May price, with
IL per cent protein quoted at 6c-1Sc
over. 1914 per cent protein at 12c-22c
over and IS per cent at 20c-30c over.
Receipts were light, and while milling
demand was only fairly active offer
ings were readily taken.

Reactionary Tendencies Crop

By GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 16-Heavi-
ness predominated in the bond mar
ket today. partly in sympathy with
the weakness in stocks, partly in re-
Spouse to the firmer tone in money,
and partly because of unfavorable de-
velopments affecting special groups
of individual issues.
French Bonds Thrown Over.
OF these unfavorable developments,
the most conspicuous was the fall in
the French franc due to concern over
the financial situation in Paris.
French bonds were sold in large
blocks and while there was no sharp
decline prices yielded more than at
any time in IL month. French IS
were relatively the weakest dipping
below 1913 against Saturdays close
Of 104, and the French Is dropped
back below 81 to a new low for the
year.
The 71hs seemed to meet better sup
port around par. perhaps from the
sinking fund. French railway issues
were actually weak. Paris Lyon and
Mediterranean SIS and Is, Nord Rail
way 6hs and Paris Orleans rs losing
from 1 to 2 points.
st. PauIs Again Heavy.
The St. Paul issues were again
heavily sold, the As of 1925, about the
refunding of which no announcement
has yet been made, selling below 20,
or more than So points down from
the high of the year and at new
low. Other St. Paul junior liens had
better support, notably the AIS OF
1892
Weakness in the St. Paul group
other speculative rails. Chicago and
Alton 3ks, which were such a strong
feature last week. yielded today and
l., G. n. adjustments lost ground.

TELLS OF
HIS WIFES LOVE

LOndon.-''I forgave her once, twice,
a dozen times, for l loved the woman,
and would probably go on forgiving
her now"
Thus Col. Ian DennistOun told of
his love for his former wife on the
witness stand in his own defense in
her suit to collect $4,000 she says she
loaned him.
1t was banner day for the defense,
every gun being trained on Mrs. Dor
othy Dennistoun's past and her love
for many men.
Mrs. Dennistoun sat in court
throughout the testimony of her for
mer husband, but Lady Carnarvon was
absent. Part of the time he talked
the cOlonel's gaze rested on the face
of his wartime wife as he told of her
tears and sObs, while he held her for
hours in his arms at the news that
Oscar SenhOuse, an American friend,
had died in his first week in the
trenches.
The colonel said that he came home
one day and his wife told him that
Senhouse had lost the key to his own
rooms and she had invited him in.
The colonel said he accepted the eX-
PLANTATION and thought nothing about
the incident until his brother off GERS
began linking his wife's name with
that of Senhouse.
Confronting her, he said, she con-
fessed
The letter recently introduced in
which he charged his wife with hav-
ing loved someone else within a few
months of their marriage, referred to
Senhouse, he said.
Colonel DennistOun said: "She was
a much more dominant figure than
was, all the way through, and she al
ways gave me to understand that she
required more than the love of one
man.
"She never hesitated to tell me
where she had been nor what she had
done, and once she told me that if she
wanted to make love to Senhouse
could not stop her. l had no control
over her morals at all"
The colonel denied that he had sac
rificed his wife for the sake OF his
career. He said he obtained his Gibral-
tar appointment by his own initia-
tive through Gen. Sir John Cowans.
On their return from Gibraltar he
left his wife in Paris, he said, and
later received her confession letter
naming Sir John.

Wheat Suffers Greatest
Break In History of Board

Chicago.-W heat suffered the great
est break in the history of the Chicago
Board of Trade on an unprecedented
turnover of grain and without any
news to account for it in Fridays
trading. May wheat prices here were
14H cents 50 Is cents a bushel lower
than on Thursday when the close
came, with the days bottom 80 cents
under the high point of the season.
The veterans of the wheat pit could
not recall such a disastrous fluctua-
ton in grain, even in the memorable
Letter deal of 1898, which up to now
has been more or less a yardstick of
sensation in Board of Trade affairs.
Wheat was not alone May rye broke
1914 to 1914 cents, all deliveries of
oats were at the cheapest prices on
the crop. September corn made new
low for the season, and May corn sus-
tanned loss of 6B to cents for the
day and July declined to IL cents.

Homes and Crops Ruined
by Flood in Indiana

South Bend.-Slowly receding wa
tiers in Indiana revealed property dam
age estimated at thousands of dollars,
after having laid waste TO many sec
tors of the state. In the paths of the
floods were strewn wreckage of homes
and ruined wheat crops.
A sudden drop in temperature
saved the state from flood that was
expected to equal the great disaster
of 1918. Rivers in the northern part
of the state are gradually returning
to their courses. Traction service.
crippled for over thirty-six hours. is
gradually being restored and dwellers
in lowland locations are returning to
their homes from the hills, whence
they had fled at the first warning of
floods.
The Wabash, Missinewa and Maui
NEE rivers left their courses and flood
waters inundated hundreds of acres of
valuable farming land and periled
wheat crops.
Peru was hardest hit Parts of the
city were under water
Officials of "A circus corporation at
Peru, winter home of two circuses,
were coralling valuable animals pre-
paratory to rushing them to higher
sections of the state in the event the
water continues to rise

POLICE ROUT RED
RIOTERS IN CHICAGO
Anti-Soviet Meeting in The
alter Results in Injuries
to Twenty.

Chicago.-Red Russia turned an anti
Soviet demonstration in the Garrick
theater into mob in which twenty
persons were hurt, at least as many
seized b. the police and a hundred
police reserves and detectives were
needed to quell the riot.
For more than two hours police
fought with the crowd. The chief
speaker envoy of the Kerensky par
tisans, never was able to say more
tnan sentence without starting the
lighting again. Toward the end the
police clubs subdued the rioters and
Raphael Abramovitz, the speaker, was
able to talk briefly.
The Reds ruled at the last The
moment The curtain went down they
surged int the aisles and without at
tempting to leave the theater raised
their voices in thunderous howl of
their song, the International"
Women Attack Police.
Again flying squadrons of bluecoats
and plain-clOthes men, in wedge for
nation, plowed their way through the
crowd before they were able to clear
the building.
In the street the rloting started
again. Screaming women protested
against american Cossack" rule and
fought and scratched the policemen.
William F. Dunn. an editor of the
local Communist paper, the Chicago
Daily Worker, mounted a box beside
a police telephone. while thousands
surged around him on the sidewalk
and in Randolph street, blocking street
car and auto traffic for thirty minutes.
Riot Inspired by Reds.
"On with the great American revOlu-
toni" was the tenor of his message
message received with shouts.
Again the police scattered the
crowds. The mob. muttering, moved
on up RHndOlph street and clustered
around the four corners of Randolph
and Clark streets. 1t was ms hour
more before they were sent home.
Anto-Soviet leaders in the Garrick
audience made the direct charge that
the riot was inspired by Soviet prop
agandist chiefs in America and hat
it was an organized effort to break up
the meeting.
The Ga"r;ck meeting was arranged
by the Chicago Jewish Socialist party
Its purpose was to raise funds for re-
lief of political prisoners exiled to the
frozen Island Of Slavitski, on the arc
tic circle.

SENATE RATIFIES
ISLE OF PINES PACT
Action Confirming Title to
Cuba Settles Controversy
Opened in 1904.

WashinG ton.-By a vote of 63 to IA,
the senate ratified the Isle of Pines
treaty, which fixes the ownership of
the island with the Republic of Cuba.
The ratification of the treaty settles
a controversy which has been on ever
since the end of the Spanish war, and
the treaty has been pending before the
senate since March 3, 1904, when 1t
was submitted by President Roosevelt.
Ratification of the treaty was de-
sired by the Coolidge administration,
in part to promote friendly relations
with Cuba and in part to promote good
relations with all of Latin America.
The senate decided on ratification in
the face OF efforts of the opposition
to prevent a ~Ste at this session and
despite strong protests from the Amer
leans on the Isle of Pines and owning
property there, who fear their rights
will not be regarded by the Cuban
government
Borah's Reservation Adopted.
A two-thirds vote was needed to rat
ify the treaty There was not only
the needed number but a large group
of votes t. spare. The senate. how
ever, adopted a reservation proposed
by Senator Borah intended to make
the provisions of the Platt amendment
apply to the Isle of Pines as well as
Cuba and another reservation by Sen
ator Reed of Missouri intended to as
sure for Americans of the Isle Of Pines
rights accorded to foreigners who re-
ceive the most favored nation treat
ment in Cuba
Before Senate Fl Years.
The treaty has been pending before
the senate for 81 years. 1t has been
ratified by the Cuban government, but
has long been held up in the senate
by reason of opposition from Ameri-
cans who are residents of the island
and owners of property there, and
also nonresident Americans who hOlI
property in the island.
