MOVEMENT HELPS BULLS Chicago Holders Can Now Sell Their Wheat to Outside Millers at Fan- ey Prices 1 30,000 Bushels Are Already Sold. CHICAGO, May 1. (Special.) Had James A. Patten been In Chieagb to day personally to pay over In sold all the money required to take care of the wheat delivered on May contracts, he would have had to use a shovel and scoop ihe gold pieces out rapidly. It required somewhere between $2,100,000 and $2,300,000 to pay for the 2,100,000 bushels of wheRt delivered to the Bart lett-Patten house half an- hour before the 'opening today. It Is estimated that the average price of the big Patten line of wheat was around $1.05, possibly as high, as $1.10. The deliveries this morning were not larger than expected, and not as large as frequently occur on May contracts, but it makes a great difference whether wheat is taken and .paid for at about 80 cents a bushel or at an average price of about $1.10. Many Concerns Deliver. - K This big Quantity of wheat was de livered to Bartlett, Patten & Co., by the Armour Grain Company, Peavey. Hulburd Warren, Lowitz &.. Co., and others. It was mostly wheat of the hard variety, as the .red,.wheatJs a scarce article, and commands a pre mium of 18 to 20 cents over the May price, and naturally would not be de livered on contract. This Is only the start of the delivery on May contracts, and more wheat can be passed around by those who have It to deliver any morning or afternooon during the month. It Is known that 1,000,000 bushels, and possibly 2,000,000 or . 000, 000 bushels of Duluth wheat Is held In readiness to come to Chicago for delivery providing it is more profitable to bring it here than to sell it to min ors and Eastern consumers during the month. Bull Market Aided. Instead of the heavy delivery of wheat on May contract being a bear future, It is helpful to buyers because the property passes into the hands of a concern which will proceed to mer chandise it and ship It out of Chicago. As for the bears who were going to bury Patten 'With millions of bushels of wheat- when May 1 arrived, they have either crawled into their caves or are buried beneath the snow drifts In the Northwest, it is declared. r Chicago sold 130,000 bushels of cash .J wheat to outside milling points at fancy prices late yesterday. Those who old out long wheat, or sold short on the temporary break in the market, at the close found themselves in a hole this morning, as the situation all over the country is "sensationally bad" for growing crops.

BOY RESCUED WITH DIFFICULTY Children Playing on Slippery Logs Fall In. MOTHER HELPLESS TO AID Merrill Lindsey, Trying to Save Lit tle Gladys Jacobsen, Is Drowned at North Pacific Dock Peter Winkle Rescues Jacobsen. Before he could reach a drowning girl whom he had jumped into the river to save, Merrill Lindsey, aged 24, sank In the chilly waters of the Willamette lsat night and was drowned at the dock of the North Pacific Mill. Gladys Jacob sen, aged nine, whom he tried to help, met death at the same time, and on the hank stood Mrs. Eva Jacobsen, the mother of the little girl, powerless to do anything. Louis Jacobsen, 11 years old, the brother of the drowned girl, had a narrow escape from death, but was rescued by Peter Winkle, a painter, but not until the man had had a des perate struggle to save himself and the lad. Three times he lost his hold on the boy, who sank under the surface, and three times he went under after him, finally landing the drowning child safe ly on one of the slippery logs floating nearby which had been the cause of the accident. - Standing on the river bank but a few feet away, a terrified witness of the tragedy, was Mrs. Jacobsen. the mother of t&sjw.perlshing:j;hjldren and her heartbreaking cries rent the air even after the arrival of the police, the night-watchman at the mill, and oth eds .who reached the scene too late to be of any service: The- tragedy was the pathetic cli max of a fishing party from the Jacob sen household, 563 Lake street, where Lindsey and Winkle boarded. The men went first, saying they would try for catfish near the- mill. - - Children Play . on Logs. When the dinner dishes had been put away, Mrs. Jacobsen and the two chil dren walked down to the river's edge to see what luck the boarders had met with. It was nearly dark when they reached the fishing place. Lindsey and Winkle were out on -a log, balancing themselves with flshllnes In hand. They called in to the shore that they had had but In different luck and would quit. The two children, in a spirit of fun, began to run and dance about on the log?, floating in the water and started to make their way out to where the men were. They walked from log to log, unmindful of the admonitions of their mother and the two more experienced fishermen. One of the logs turned over, rolling them into the river. Lindsey at once Bprang In after the little girl and Winkle after the boy. The water was cold and the logs made it difficult to dive or. swim. Neither of the children could do anything to help itself. The screams of the mother brought the mill nightwatchman' first, and he and Winkle, with a long pole, endeavored to find some trace of Lindsey and the girl. Llndsey's hat was floating on the surface, but the bodies could not be seen. Later, when Patrolman Humphreys arrived, he got some blacksmiths nearby to make a pair of grappling irons. Girl's Body Not Found. With these the officer recovered the body of the man near midnight but at a very late hour the search for the girl had been kept up without success.

When Mrs. Eddy, of Englewood, N. J., got back her baby carriage, which she' had accom modatingly lent to a friend's young hopeful today, the owner probably didn't know that a 10.000-ton liner, the United States malls and 600 passengers had been kept waiting eight minutes, the time schedule , shattered, and untold tons of costly coal consumed that might have been making live steam to expend in use ful energy only to find her baby's go cart, worth $1.90. The American liner St. Louis, with flags limp in' the fog, was ready to sail. A second-cabin steward ran to the rail at the top of the plank and told Captain Lockhurst he must wait until Mrs. Smith found her borrowed baby carriage. Fif teen babies had gone aboard, 'and each had been conveyed in "a patent folding buggy chair, so it was no easy matter. Captain Lockhurst sprang up the plank and took a hand. Mrs. Smith what did she care for mails and time tables? She was unruffled, .and find that particular chair she did. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

FIRST SHOT FATAL EACH TIME He Slays Three and Kermit Brings Down One. NATIVES DANCE WITH JOY Party Finds Lions In Abundance and Kills Ten Kinds of Game on First Day Going After Giraffes Next. NAIROBI, British East Africa. May 1. Four Hons are trophies of ex-President Roosevelt's camp in the Mau Hills tonight, and the 200 or more native followers are rejoicing -with the Amer ican party in the celebration of the un usually good luck.- The lions were bagged yesterday, and Colonel Roosevelt's mighty gun brought three of them to earth, each on the first snot. Thus one of the ex-President's fondest ambitions has been real ized, and he is proud, too, that the fourth of the jungle kings fell before the rifle of his son, Kermit. who, how ever, took three shots to kill his quarry. Both father and son are Jubilant. It was their first lion-hunt, and so mag nificent a kill was far beyond their expectations, but lions have be.en plen tiful in the hills for the last month, and the English hunter, W. W. Salous. has been out for several days laying plans for their extinction. How well he succeeded can be seen from the re sults of yesterday's chase. Mr. Selous accompanied the ex-Presi-dent, whoalso was attended by the usual reTinue of beaters. Usually . the beaters go ipto the jungle with consid erable trepidation, but, as Colonel Roosevelt's reputation as a hunter had reached here long before he arrived in person, the beaters on this occasion were exceptionally enthusiastic. ' They were even eager to play a part in the first hunt of the distinguished Ameri can. Bag Ten Kinds of Game. The caravan started early Thursday morning from the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease, on the Athie River, and pro ceeded slowly to the Mau Hills. ' This range is open for wide areas, but in places is covered with dense growths, where game is plentiful. The first night In camp 'was without especial incident, no -Attempt being made to go after lions, although their call was heard now and then during the night, but at dawn the camp was astir and the drive speedily organized. The native beaters set out in all directions under the in struction of the "head man," armed with all sorts of noise-making devices which could but arouse any game within earshot. Some of the beats proved blanks, but by nightfall no less than ten kinds of game had been bagged. Kermit during the greater part of the day did more effective work with his camera than with his gun, allowing Mr. Roosevelt the much-prized shots. -Details of the actual shooting were not brought down to Nairobi today from tfie camp, but it was declared that in each case a single bullet from Mr. Roosevelt's rifle sufficed to bring down his lion. Colonel Roosevelt is living up to the reputation which he has gained here of being a Crack shot. All the lions were of normal size, and after the natives had dragged them together in the grass they exe cuted the usual dance around the tro phies. The party plans to go south tomor row, with the hope of bagging one or more giraffes. The chances are that Mr. Roosevelt's good luck will con tinue, .for natives and settlers from all sections report game as very plentiful. MURPHY AND NOT SENT THE REFORM CANDIDATE.

Down with- te divesl - - Iran Hoss and Anna J. Graf Set bay for Marriage, bat Cruel Law Intervenes. Ivan Hoss,,lS10 Tyndali street, couldn't marry Anna J. Graf, of St. John, yes terday, because his mother in writing from Seattle to give her consent signed herself "mama." Inasmuch as Hoss lacks two months of having attained his majority. County Clerk Fields declined to issue a license until the mother's con sent bore her full signature. For nearly a week the wedding of Hoss and Miss Graf has been delayed by the fact that Hoss is not quite 21 years of age. He applied early in the week for a license which was duly made out by Deputy County Clerk Rose. But that official had to refuse to deliver it on learning that Hoss lacks two months of the legal age. Explanations by the young man that his mother favored the match availed him nothing. Hoss telf graphed his mother at Seattle to forward a letter of consent right away. She did so, the letter arriving yesterday. Happy In the thought that all obstacles were removed at last the . bride and groom-elect hurried to the Courthouse and presented the letter of consent. Mr. Rose read it through. "Your mother forgot to sign it with her name. She merely signs herself 'mama,' and that will not answer the purpose." was the staggering information given them by the official. After trying to argue the deputy out of his duty in the matter the couple, who were accompanied . by Miss Grafs parents, reluctantly departed. . They will have to send aain to Seattle, wait until a letter can be written and dispatched by Mrs. Hoss and upon the delivery of the letter, regularly signed, they can re new their application for a marriage li cense.

Secretary Nichols and iheAttorney-T General had preceded the members of the committee to Everett on an earlier train.

Immediately after the conference held In Everett last night. Insurance Commissioner Schively, when he heard of the affair, left for Everett on an early train this morning. Whatever transpired between Secretary Nichols and Mr. Schively today, has remained a profound secret, but it is hinted that there has been an attempt made to get together and it has not resulted advan tageously to either the Secretary or the Insurance Commissioner. Schively returned from Everett this afternoon and when asked point blaxik whether he would resign, said: "I shall never resign under fire. In the first place. It would prejudice my cases now being tried before the Spokane grand jury. I may have done foolish things in the past, but my backbone sticks above resigning under fire." The Insurance Commissioner refused to discuss his case for publication. "But do you Intend to resign?" be was -asked again. "I cannot answer that question until I . have conferred with my attorney in Olympla, whom I have not seen for a week," was his answer.
