open warfare. Everything that l
sent to them was rejected. Speakers
would rise in, the ornate gilt and

nounce the war on crime and to
lambast the police force.
The mayor did not interfere there,

Police work and plans continued. A
study revealed the average age Of
Philadelphia's policemen was SO.
Much too old, it was evident. I
asked the civil service commission
to reduce this age average. The
maximum age for new policemen
was 80 years. l asked that this be
agreed to give the matter considera-
ton. We organized medical
bureau, making use of the police
surgeons. Offices were rented and a
clinic installed. Policemen were
regularly examined, their ailments
diagnosed and medical attention
given free to those who required It,
Immediately the sick list began to
decrease.
Hand of Politics
The mayor, however, gradually
began to attempt to hamper police
work. not of his own volition, but
because of political pressure. De-
motions, suspensions. and trans
fers of police officials and police
men continued as police activity
grew. After each batch of transfers
or demotions he would mutter to
me about complaints he had re-
ceived. He never openly asked ME

dictated very plainly that he was

GRAIN MARKET
(By Dispatch A. p. Wirel

CHICAGO, March 10.-Despite tenn
porary sharp setbacks, the wheat
market today scored a material ad~
vance. Buying for houses with east
ern connection became notably ac.
tive, and export demand for North
American wheat broadened out Clos
ing quotations on wheat were finn,
Hc to 3sc net higher: May (new1'
$1.59% to $1.59%, and July $1.39A to
$1.393 3s, with corn 3s C to &c up. oats
at shade to &c gain and provisions
varying from 7c decline to a rise Of
&c.
AT first the wheat market was de-
pressed on account of bearish as
poets of the government report on
farm reserve holdings. The immedi-
ate outstanding feature was that the
official figures were larger than re-
cent private estimates. However, as
soon as prices had undergone a
tumble, brisk purchasing began, as
sociated largely with opinions that
farm supplies calculated on a per
capita basis are the lowest on rec
ord, and that with milling compile
tion and seed requirement the United
States is likely to be confronted with
virtual exhaustion of supplies before
the harvest of the new 1926 crop.
Beneficial rains in Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska
failed to check the late upward
movement of wheat values. On the
contrary, much more attention was
given to news that export sales to-
day from North America would total
100000 bushels including 100000
bushels of Canadian wheat to Japan.
Notice was also taken that the
worlds available supply had de-
creased 2,134,O00 bushels for the
week, and is 21O,S19,OO bushels
against 251,7O5,OOO bushels a year
ago. Besides, primary domestic re-
ceipts were only half of last years
total, and shipments much larger.
Action of corn and oats prices par.
alleled the changes in the wheat
market. Oats established new low
price record for the season. Contin-
ued sharp interest by corn traders
was shown in prospective grain leg
islation at Washington.
Provisions were easy influenced a
good deal by lack of trade.
