Mrs. Borah May Write Mrs.

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON.-Plans for the fu-
ture are still uncertain for Little
Borah" as Mrs. William E. Borah,
widow OF the senator, is affectionate-
~ known. Except for one thing-the
decision to give up the spacious,
beautifully furnished apartment in
which she and the senator lived for
many years. It was their only
home. They had none in Idaho.
When they returned there in the
summer they lived in Boise hotel.
The senator left a small estate
which, with the $4,000 which wild
ows of members of congress re-
ceive, will enable Mrs. Borah to live
comfortably. Borah could have
made big money, but he always re-
fused. He had many offers of le-
gal cases; and few years ago he
was handed contract by a news
paper syndicate for $52,000 to write
a weekly, 1,200-word article. But he
rigidly adhered to the rule that he
was an employee of the people and
that they were entitled to his full
time.
Borah was so meticulous about
this that when, during his fourth
term, congress increased senatorial
pay from $500 to $4,000 a year,
he refused to accept the addi-
tional $4,000 until reelected.
Mrs. Borah has sister in Mos
COW, Idaho, and another in Port
land, Ore. She will visit them be-
fore deciding where she will set
tie permanently. In the past, she
has had a number of requests to
write about Washington and about
her many experiences in the off,
cial and social world. She has
always declined, but now she may
turn her gentle wit and charm to
such work.
Merry-Go-Round.

CHICAGO, March 81. - Nervous
price fluctuations characterized
wheat trading today as the market
absorbed profit taking sales and
hedges placed against loan wheat
coming into commercial channels.
This resulted in a fractionally
lower close, although prices at one
stage were almost a cent higher
than yesterday due partly to con-
tinued buying based on European
developments. Purchasing was in
spired by further extension of the
wheat resealing program. which
may involve a small additional por-
ton of the 1889 crop which has been
held back from market under the
ever-normal granary plan.
Wheat closed 1s-9s lower than
yesterday; May s105as-12; July,

NEW YORK, March 21.-Stock
market buyers pumped little more
fuel into aircrafts and specialties
today, but even favorites lost alti-
tude in the tail end of the session.
European affairs, particularly in
tensif1cation of aerial warfare,
brought further stimulation for the
plane group at the opening. Spotty
business trends in home sectors,
however, served to chill bullish pro-
ponentS for various lndustrialS.
Best advances, running to point
or so for selected issues in the morn
ing, were cut down substantially or
eliminated after midday. Closing
prices were moderately mixed.
One incentive for traders to cash
in small profits accruing in the me-
dium rallies of the last two days,
brokers said, was the fact the eX-
change will be closed tomorrow for,
the Good Friday holiday, and few
exhibited any desire to expand COM
mitments unduly in either direction.
Dealings never got up any real
momentum, even when the push was
upward in the forenoon. With the
ticker tape frequently resting in the
final two hours. transfers were
around $4,000 shares.
On the upside the greater part of
the day were Boeing, United Air
craft, Sperry, Glenn Martin, Ben
dix, Loft, Electric Boat, National
Tea, South Porto Rico Sugar, Fajar-
do Sugar, Sears Roebuck, American
Smelling and Dow Chemical.
Lacking rising steam were United

Further Cash Advances
Declared Unjustified

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The
Southern Pacific Co. said today fur
ther financial support from the
company for its Mexican subsidiary
was not justified under existing
conditions"
Reporting the Southern Pacific
Railroad Co. of Mexico again oper-
ated at loss in 1899, the parent
corporation asserted the outcome
of the decision to halt cash ad-
vances to meet the deficit depended
upon expansion in revenues and
such economies as may be brought
about through improvement in eff
cheney of labor and other COSTS"
The statement was made in South
ern Pacific's annual report, showing
a deficit last year of $3.50, 1888 for the
Mexican unit, compared with a 1888
loss of $1,416,518.
The subsidiary operates about
1880 miles of line in Mexico. Ran
circles have discussed the possibility
the road may be abandoned entirely
or sold to the Mexican government.
A. D. Mcdonald, president, noted
in the report the top company from
time to time had made substantial
advances to the Mexican subsidiary,
with no return, causing directors to
cut of cash aid January after
studying the situation.
The railroad reported Electric
Traction subsidiaries on the Pacific
Coast were seeking to cut deficits
by abandoning certain improbable
lines and substituting buses for elec-
trio services.

Jensen Pitches Shutout 10 ProIong Second Half
 of Pennant Race

Mark Jensen threw beautiful ball against the Moose last night and his teammates hammered out four runs off Johnson of the Paps to keep the second half pennant still anybodys rag, The score was Douglas 4, Moose 0.
 Jensen struck out seven men, walked only one, and his team mates, making only one error, whipped up two double plays and generally gave him fine support.
 Moose turned in a fair fielding game, but couldn't get to JenSens changing pace,
 In the first frame, Manning led off with a scorching ground ball into right and scored after steal ing second on a bad throw by Col lins, Rustad slamming one on the nose through short patch.
 Second Inning
 In the second inning, Douglas, still geared in high had two men cut and Niemi beat out an in- field hit. Bell walked and Roller got an infield hit. Johnson threw q pitch in the dirt and Collins lost it, Niemi scoring, Bell rounding third
 Johnson picked up the wander ing ball, snapped one down to third to catch Bell but hit Bell in the shoulder and the ball went bounding into deep short field and Bell scored. Then to top it, Man ming singled to center to bring in Roller with the fourth run of the game
 That's where the scoring ended. Moose got only four hits, Douglas got seven. The latter was much more the inspired ball club.
 Tonight the Elks play Moose at 6:30 o'clock in Firemens Park. If the Elks win, it's a three-way tie for the pennant of the second half.

While we usually WIN one or two
championships a year playing to-
gether, I am always in for a little
ribbing when Mrs. Mckinney wins
one by herself. I may make the
same mistake that many husbands
do when playing with their wives,
that of c%riticizing too severely, but
I am bound to say I seldom get

on defensive play. Here is a hand
which l think is a good demon
stration of Mrs. McKenney's fine

South won the opening lead with
the eight Of diamonds and led the

letting the nine win. A small heart
was led, Mrs. Mckinney held off.
and the ten won. The queen Of
spades then forced the ace, South

Mrs. Mckinney led the Jack of
clubs and South won with the
queen. On the next heart lead
MRS. Mckinney put up the ace

established two club tricks for me
