CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Selling in
foreign and eastern markets resulted
in a sharp reaction in wheat values
here early today. Although there were
upward tendencies later, the trend
was downward when the market
closed. Final quotations were lower.
Corn and oats failed to make ans
Roadway, either. While gains seemed
likely, heavy receipts of coarse grains
arrived on the local market which
sent values tumbling sharply. Corn
and oats close lower.
Lard. ribs and other provisions
closed higher, however. because of a
firm tone in the hog market.

IS LAST Of OLD
TREKKERS
Pioneer Of South Africa
Plains Remembers Wars
With Savages.

JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 16-Blind,
bedridden and neglected by the people
whose most glorious history she helped
TO make, an old woman has just cele-
brated her 106th birthday in a howell
near johannesburg. She is ''Ouma"
(Granny) Anna van Zyl, the last of
the Voortrekkers and one Of the most
historical characters in the empire.
A single orange, the gift Of ragged
little grandson, as her only birthday
present. As a girl Ouma van Iyl ac-
companied the Noortrekkers (pioneers)
who left the Cape in tented wagons
and colonized South Africa's interior.
Many of them were massacred by Zu-
lus and many more more died OF
fever.
SAW FATHER DIE
With pride Ouma describes how,
day after day, she led an ox-span
through the velddust on the north
ward quest for q new and free land.
Her most vivid memory goes back
niuety-odd years, when she saw her
father lying dead beside his wagon
with his beard and clothes on fire.
He had just inspanned the oxen when
the war whistle shrilled in the bush.
Kaffir asscgais whizzed and the old
Boer fell dead in the embers Of the
cooking fire.
The Kaffirs took the murdered
Voortrekker's wife and daughter into
the mountains, where, says Ouma,
they were kept slaves for three months
and lived on berries and tears" Then
an Englishman trading at the kraai
saw the white woman and daughter.
ransomed them with beads and brandy,
and took them back to the Beers.
DANCES BY OXEN
Ouma had many quaint memories
of her girlhood. She never danced,
except before a span Of oxen or
round a flock of sheep"
OF he many ironies in South
Africa's national life, none is more
bitter than this-that patriots talk
daily of the epic deeds of Voor-
trckker sires while the last Of the
Voortrekkers lies in penury and want.
But the spirit that enabled hand
full of Beers to break the Zulu nation
and cOlonize half continent may still
he seen in the wan smile of Anna van
Zyl as she faces affliction and the
gathering of the long night.

NEW NAMES ASKED
FOR COMMISSIONER
President Exhausts Sugges-

Selection of suitable man to sue:
Rudolph is still hanging fire and 1t is
indicated at the White House that the
President. having about exha usted the
list of available names, is open to new
suggestions.
Progress was reported AS more or
less negative" and those who saw the
President yesterday were under the
impression that Mr.. Coolidge must
seek further, since the official spokes-
man has intimated that none of those
whose names has been publicly sug
Sested is available for the post.
Failure to make choice to date.
the spokesman indicated. has not been
due to a dearth of good suggestions.
for the President has let 1t be known
that some very excellent names have
heen presented to him for considera-
ton Two factors appear to offer the
chief obstacles. One is the apparent
unwillingness of some to accept ap-
pointment as District Commissioner.
IL rendered. and the other is the ques
tion of residence. A number of those
suggested. it was said, have not re-
sided here long enough.
II the impression ia correct that the
President has found none available
from the list already presented, 1t
would seem that this eliminates the
three candidates recently recommend
ed by the committee headed by Gen.
Pershing. One of these. G.. A. Aspin-
wall publicly eliminated himself.
President Coolidge is not discour-
aged by any means over the situation.
There still remains sufficient time be-
fore Congress convenes to make a
selection and it is not imperative that
one he made Immediately. The Presi-
dent has indicated that he will con-
tinue the process of elimination in the
hope that a nominee suitable to the
citizens OF the District as we'll as TO
political leaders would be found be-
fore long.
