Chicago, March I. Damage to ' the
growing corn crop la reported In the
message to broker, here today. The
newa came too late for the ' opening
and the market started a f raetlou low
er with a weaker "feeling. One or two
tradea were made at a lower range, af
ter which the market began to ahow
lgna of recovery, fihorta then put up
the market on themaelvea: their cov
ering operatlone being on a rather ex
tensive scale. The market closed a full
cent higher for thla year's crop and
to ror juiy.
Wheat jumped from weakness to
strength and than back aeveral time
during the day's trading. Opening was
weaa, unaer saturaay owing to the
loss of lUd by Liverpool. Short cov
ering by profit taking brought the mar
ket up lHc. but all of thla waa aubae-
ueiitly lost with fresh short sellln and

respectively.
While the oats market was strong de
spite the sharp decline In wheat, there
was little tradlna- durlna- today1 aea-
nion una me price range was narrow.
The close la Wo higher.
Provisions started trong with the
first loss in corn and the hls-har nrtca

New York, March 9. Today'a atock
market atartad very strong and waa
Arm all day, with substantial advance
throughout the list. Trading was on
a more extensive seal than for ev
era! weeks, over 600,000 aharea being
traded In up to 2 o'clock.
The upward drift of the atock mar
ket which aet In a ifortnlght ago haa
continued and the movement is all the
more noteworthy, because It waa dona
In the face of the opposition of a good
part of the professional trading ele
ment. The upward tendency la founded
In the main upon two considerations:
First, the signs of a gradual recovery
In outalde trade; second, an increasing
care that prices for stocks, the divi
dends of which are reasonably well as
sured, are selling low enough to meas
ure all the risks of tha situation, finan
cial or political.
In a word, tne market a una or least
resistance ha veered completely;
whereas for the last year prices have
moved down easier than they have up
ward. It is the upward path that la now
the easier.
There is, of course, a sharp distinc
tion observed between the better class
of stocks and those whose financial posi
tion Is uncertain. Many of the weaker
railroad companies still have an awk
ward problem to face in the ahapn of
note Issues coming due. which they
cannot meet and will find It difficult to
renew. This and harassing explanation
In many form ha driven soma of them,
like the International ft Great North
ern of Texa, and the Western Mary
land, this week to seek thetprotectlon
of the court, and there is much rea
son to expect that the list of receiver
ship among this clas of propertle
will be .lengthened. But liquidation In
the lowVgrade stocks Inspired by these
faars has ceased to Influence the gen
eral list. It la one proof of the mar
ket's sold-out condition that It la able
to differentiate between tha good and
the bad. It la another proof that the
receiverships are caused by poor earn
ings and other untoward events, which
no longer evoke response in the mora
solid class of securities.
There is, however, more widespread
confidence than existed a month ago,
and we have reached the bottom of the
trade depression, and from now on. pro
ceeding slowly, recovery will be con
stant and firm.
The letter recently written by Presi
dent Roosevelt to a Wall street man,
saying that he was not opposed to legit
imate trading, was quite an aid to to
day's market and probably accounted
for most of the advance during the session.

Kesidents .Along Proposed
Streets Afraid Property
Will Be Condemned.
Resident living on College, Jackson
and Clifton streets between Park and
Sixteenth are greatly excited because
of the report that the city Is proceed
ing in the matter Of constructing a
boulevard through their property In ac
cordance with tha proposed parking
scheme which will result In the rasing
of 25 or 26 residences.
The report was given credence be
cause city engineers have been survey
ing the land in the vicinity and one
of the engineers Is reported to have
told a resident of the scheme. Stakes
havs been set and measurements of the
various house have been taken by the
engineer with a view nf ascertaining
their value for the purpose, it Is sup
posed, of condemnation. T. L. Garland,
who -owns a home and aeveral lota In
the vicinity, said today:
This engineer stated that the boule
vard would extend from Park atreet
across College, Clifton and Jackson,
skirting the hills ' to Sixteenth. From
Sixteenth the boulevard would be ex
tended by a bridge to Portland heights
where It would open on Montgomery
drive. He said that property would bo
condemned a block on either aide of
the boulevard In order to insure sight
seers a good view from the driveway.
If this scheme is carried out it will
be bitterly fought by the property own
ers. We have held our property for
year and feel sure we would not get
Just valuation from the city ahould
It decide .to condemn our property.
"To my notion toe whole scheme la
one cooked up for the benefit of the
street railway company. Should the
city build the boulevard It would only
be a matter of a short time before the
company would be In the council seeking-
a franchise for a track over this
route., Thl would mean that the city
would go to the expense of building the
boulevard and the company would come
In nnd get the benefit."
When Sunerlntendent Monteith was
ssked about the matter he said that
he did not know anything about the
engineers being at work and did not
know whether the proposed system cut
through the part of the city outlined
by Mr. Garland.

their victims to approach. Anticipating
trouble, those lr. cnarge of the caravan
got permission to have a company of
soldiers accompany them on the iournev

But the Bedouir.s outnumbered the
soldiers. As the caravan approached
within a few feet of them, the Bedeuins
rushed toward the soldier from every

that they had no chance to defend them
edve. Ten soldiers fell dead a few
seconds after the shooting began. While
the uninjured soldiers were fleeing, the
Bedouins confiscated the caravan and

FOUND NOT GUILTY
Charge of Assault and Bat
tery Made by Father of
Boy Who Was Punished.
Witness Says Wynne Threat
ened to "Oct" Some of ,
, Dead Man's Gang. '
This afternoon the defense began the
Introduction of evidence by which It
hopes to have John Wynne acquitted of
the charge of murdering W. II. llu Put
In the aalbon of Martin Denny, pn
Fourth atreet, on the night of rec ru
ber 11. The state his morning closed
Its case with the testimony of Lester v
Hicks of Pendleton, who told of a
clash between the defendant and ' the
dead man six or seven years ago, and of .
lrs. William Zelgler and Cheater 4
More, who gave evidence regarding the
death of I)u Puis. ' .
The defense succeeded In shutting out
the testimony of Joseph A. Du Puis, a
brother of tha deceased, because he had
remained In the courtroom during the .
most of tne trial. At tne- outset "tne
rourt made an order excluding al wit '.
nrsses, and the prosecution did . not
have Du Puis retire from the room, as
It uks not expected that, his-testimony
would be needed. This makes the sec
ond KitttH witness that has been blocked
by objection of the defense.' John -A;
Al'.'Leary was kept off the stand Sat
urday because his name had been writ
ten "A. Mcliren" on the Information.
Lester 1 licks said that he, "Bill" Du
Puis, as the victim of Wynne's revolver
was known to his Intimates, and several
other when they were boy -were
known as "the sewer gang" in Pendle- -ton.
He said they were only "klda" at
that time and they applied thla desertp-,
tlve name to themselves. It wae Just a
name, he said, and meant nothing In
particular. He said that this "gang"
wa no longer In existence at the tlm
of the occurrence between Wynne and '
Du Puis. Wynne was conducting a sa
loon in Pendleton at that time, and' the.
witness. Du Put snd others would oe-
caslonally visit the place. On' one of
these visits, said tha witness, Wynne
threatened to "get" aoma of this sang.
Defense Kbowe Xaad. .
Hicks waa closely cross-examined
and admitted that b had been several
times convicted in the recorder's court
In Pendleton on charge of fighting and
drunkenness. Ha said Wynne had al
ways treated him civilly.
Taatlmnnv fnr tha Aifanu will ha d!-.
rected toward showing that Wynne had
a good reputation for quietude up to
the time he ehot Du Puis. It will , be
claimed that be believed himself - in
danger of his life when he fired the
i.ial shots, although witnesses for the -
state have testified that Uenny naa
thrown the men apart and waa stand
ing almost between them when Wynne .
began to shoot.
The defense 1 also expected to offer -testimony
on the line of temporary in- ,
sanity, based on injuries he ih alleged
to have sustained years ago and his
having been affected by St Vitus'
dance. The defense probably will not
close Its case until totaorrow forenoon. '

FILLBASKET APPLE "
QUITE WELL NAMED
Spokane, Wash., March a-R. McCor
mlck, an orchardist near Zlllah, Wash
ington, southwest of Spokane, haa Just
made the discovery that the Kentish
Fillbasket, an old English apple, will
thrive better In this .country than it
does In its native soil. This upsets
the pet theory of expert horticulturists
In various parts of America and is of
Importance to fruit growers - every
where. The trees, designated as Wine
saps, were Imported from a nursery in
Iowa three years ago. The fruit on
three trees In the 10-acre orchard was
different from the rest and the color
and firmness attracted, attention.. The
apples were put away until a few days
ago, when Bruce Wees, a widely trav
eled apple buyer, declared they were of
the Fillbasket variety, grown almost
exclusively in Kent. The apple Is large
and is of cream color, lightly speckled.
Twelve apples take up as much room
as 35 ordinary ones. Mr. Wees says
the drawback to the trees in Ens-land
is that they bear only every third year.
but Mr. McCormlck believes they can
be made to yield annually In this coun
try. At any rate, he is savins the sci
ons and will make a thorough test the
coming season.
