Barnes of the United States grain corporation, announced late to day that reports that the corporation had purchased 25,000,000 bushels of wheat from Canada were untrue, but he reiterated the declaration which he made earlier today that arrangements had been made for the purchase of a "moderate amount" of wheat from the Dominion. He declined at this time to issue a detailed statement regarding . prospective purchases. The amount of wheat to be imported from Canada is to be determined by surveys which the United States Orain corporation has begun, Mr. Barnes said. He added that information thus far obtained indicated that American elevators in the northwest seem to be well stocked with grain, but that equitable distribution is the most im portant problem which confronts the corporation. Mr. Barnes cautioned against the Impression that Canadian wheat would be brought into this country under any other conditions. He issued this statement: Distribution Is Problem. "The great problem we are facing is equitable distribution of wheat held in the elevators and on the farms of the northwest. The surveys show there is sufficient grain for the needs of the people if it can be distributed properly. In that event it may not be necessary to import Canadian wheat. At any rate, the amount of wheat to be pur chased from Canada will be moderate." Mr. Barnes is making a study of wheat and flour conditions in the cen tral west and the northwest. Mr. Barnes added that the corpora tion "does not want to bring in an amount of wheat that would endanger the balance in the United States." Wheat Supply Sufficient. A moderate downward revision in prices of foodstuffs is anticipated, said Mr. Barnes. He added that suffi cient wheat is available to keep the price of flour frm going above $12 a barrel. He added, however, that no radical price revision can be expected until the American export demands are greatly reduced. CHICAGO. May 5. The local corn market broke precipitately today, 10 to 12 cents from the high point, on news that tiie grain corporation has ar ranged for the importation of a moder ate amount of Canadian wheat. Before the break a new high record for the .:rop had been established, due to wet weather. July touched $1.72 and September $1.67. The- break carried July down to $1.62 and September to $1.55. Just before the close July rallied to $1.65', 4 and September to $1.60. t'XM I'M;. G&1BEL BROTHERS BROADWAY new yohk cry 33o ST. MOVSI-TV Photo Copyright by Underwood. BOMB ADDRESSED TO J. P. MORGAN. I5SERT CHARL ES KAPLAN. Charles Kaplan, a postal clerk, nipped one of the most gigantic plots ever hatched to destroy men of great Influence and importance in all parts of the country last Wednesday, when he discovered 17 neat pound packages containing dynamite bombs, addressed to the selected persons, in the mail. The discovery was made because, according to postal regulations, parcel post packages must be open for lnspec- ion. The packages being sealed, it constituted a violation of this rule and compelled the sending of the packages as irst-class mall. They were held up over night and, when Kaplan, leaving the office for home, read of the attempted outrage upon Senator Hardwick by sending him a bomb 1 in a package labeled Glmbel Brothers, remembered that the packages at the postoffice bore the same name, he returned and reported the tact to the comDustlDle authorities, who immediately opened one of the packages and discovered the bomb.

Edward Doney, a rabbit hunter of this place, has invented a device to drive rabbits from their burrow and is meeting with gratifying success. Doney blows them out. ' As ferrets cannot be used in hunting rabbits. Doney says he had to perfect something to drive them out. And that is what he did. He takes a bicycle pump, attaches a 20-foot rubber hose to it, and starts out. He follows a rab bit's tracks to the burrow, places the hose in the burrow and proceeds to pump. He says that the cold air strikes the rabbit and in a few minutes it emerges from the hole shivering and starts to run to get warm. He then shoots it. Doney says he shot 13 rabbits in one day recently by means of the blowing out process. Other rabbit hunters are using his Invention with equal success. Care of Children Great Problem.
