er's woods near Platteville, Wis, to-
night, where William N. Coffey, biga-
mist-slayer of his wife, Mrs. Hattie

Upon the discovery by Frank Olson,

diately ordered an inquest.

had been making political gesture"
with the tax question.
The Wisconsin senator then took
Reed to task for advocating a further
reduction in the surtax rates this
year, when a year ago he fought
against lowering them to 20 per cent.
The Missourian asserted his repub-
lican colleague was undertaking to
misrepresent him.
"I deny that" said Lenroot.
"And 1 assert it," thundered Reed.
"All we want the country to know,
he added, is that the republican ad-
friinistration and the republican ma
joriry in congress had refused any
kind of tax reduction
Senator Reed made it plain that the
presidents plan was unsatisfactory to
him, but said it would bring some re-
lief. Smoot asserted that the demo
Gratis wanted to reduce taxes beyond
the safety point.

ing that" interrupted Senator Glass

liams to meet emergencies that may
confront him unembarrassed by any
premature disclosure of the orders he
has received.
That the Washington government
hopes that it's peaceful gesture, found
ed upon the traditional demand of the
United States that China does not bar
ter away her birthright of sovereignty
in granting exclusive concessions or
monopolies to foreign governments or
their nationals, but retain an open
commercial door to all, may avert the
serious situation impending at Shang
hal is obvious.
That the outlook is noon too optim-
stic is equally clear and accounts for
the naval precautions.
Up over the old caravan route, less
then 200 miles south of Shanghai, the
forces of the Cantonese government
are marching. Cantonese troops are
conservatively estimated to number
10000, but what portion of that army
has been massed in Chekiang is not
known.
TO the north troops giving allegi-
lance at the moment at least to Chang
Tso-Lin, are estimated to aggregate
perhaps $50, ,0OO Their advance guard
is at Nanking, westward from Shang
hal, under command Of Chang's SON.
city for Shanghai, and the advancing
Cantonese are strung the troops of the
Shanghai dictator allied with Chang.
Within the last few weeks his army
has been depleted by desertions to the
Cantonese.
Shanghai, rich with direct and in
direct sources of possible military
revenues, is the prize. That its possess
sion will be surrendered by the north
erners without battle or it's conquest
be abandoned by the Cantonese die
tator to facilitate negotiation of new
treaties giving all China diplomatic
equality, many officials here gravely
doubt.
Senator Borah, deploring the possi-
BILE disastrous result of British mill
tary moves, declared for protection Of
Americans in China by their with
drawal until all danger of molestation
had passed There is no question that
administration plans have considered
that course, only to find that landing
marines to guard embarkation of
American refugees probably would be
necessary to insure protection on their
lives. Already the missionaries in the
interior are filtering out to coastal
cities by direction Of American con-
suls.
British approval of Secretary KEEL
logg's announced policy not only was
expressed by Ambassador Howard,
who called today at the state depart,
ment, but also was reflected in press
dispatches from London. An intima-
tion that Japanese rumored negotia-
tions at Peking were also based on
treaty equality proposals came from
London.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 l9-Wheat was
cratic in the final hour OF trading
today, the market meeting with IN
creased selling on all bulges and fair
support on the breaks. At the finish
wheat was a cent higher to 1s cent
lower, corn was steady to 5s cent down,
and oats Is to 3s cent off. Provisions
varied from cents higher to 212
cents lower.
While crop news was not especially
bullish, the recent decline put the
market in a better speculative shape
as well as in position to develop a
larger export business. Seaboard re-
ports indicated total sales of upward
of 100000 bushels in all positions,
and local sales to exporters were 47O,-
600 bushels. Late reports from abroad
indicated widespread transforms in the
United Kingdom, France and Ger
many.
Wheat averaged lower with further
liquidation early which carried Decem-
ber off nearly / cent to 11s cent with
strong rally above yesterdays fin
ish later on short covering and buy
ing by commission and export houses.
When buying ceases, however, the
market showed disposition to react
with local sentiment bearish. Weather
conditions in America and the Can
adian northwest were more favorable
and Winnipeg acted heavy good part
of the day. Cutting of wheat is max
ing rapid progress in parts Of the
prairie provinces, but the crop will not
be safe until after the first week in
September and some will require a
longer period.
Corn was weak early with prices
dropping around S134 cents from yes
terday's finish, but selling was quickly
absorbed and the market rallied sharp
ly, with scattered liquidation in evi-
dence in the September delivery. The
weather over the corn belt was more
favorable.
Oats averaged lower with corn.
Provisions were firmer with hogs.
