JUae Baseless Reports Are Cause tif Much Stock Fluctuation Story Circulates Tbat Germany Has Apologized; Break Brought . on by Denial. (Copyright. 1915, by the New York . Evening- Post.) New York, Aug. 23. U. P.) Stocks advanced at the opening- of the stock exchange today, apparently because of the baseless story that Germany had apologized tor the sinking of the liner Arabic, in a swift decline the market then broke from 1 to 9 points, with the greatest weakness being evident among speculative industrials, but with rail ways participating in the movement. After the first hour, the market turned abruptly and retraced Its steps with buying apparently coming largely from the outside public. When, in the finui nour, stocks had largely returned to last week's closing prices, or higher. Wall street was filled with reportsfthat Berlin was denying the Arabic toad been sunk by a sub marine.

WHEAT. CONTINUES ITS DECLINE AS WAR QUESTIONS LINE UP All Grains Are -Off on Opening; Operators Fear Italian - Turkish Set-to May Mean Opening of the Dardanelles to Russian Grain. Chicago, tU.. Ang. 83. (I. N. 8.) Liquida tion in the grain pit at tbe opening of the market today resulted iu a lower range of prices. Wheat was unchanged to e lower at the start, corn was off . while oats was un changed co down. Cash interests were free sellers of September wheat at the de cliue. The option said down to fl.Ol a bushel. There was considerable Belling on stop orders. Grain operators believe that the declaration ot war against Turkey by Italy means an early opening of the Dardanelles. This would mean tbe releasing of in ii Hons of f bushels of Russian wheat to the allies. Bears in the pit predict that with good weather over the northwest, there will be heavy movement of wheat, causing the cash premiuang to disap pear. Tracers In tbe corn pit were inclined to tbe short side. There was no great amount ot action in the trade. Prices held fairly steady. Oats acted with corn. Provisions were slightly higher at tbe start. Wheat closed 1 to 2)4 below the opening figures; corn was to 2 lower and oats was to down. Provisions closed with a slight gain.

Serbia is expected to let It be known, possibly before night, . whether she Is willing to cede Serbian Macedonia to Bulgaria In return for the latter's par ticipation on the side of the allies. Premier Venizelos will be sworn in during the day as the head of the new Greek cabinet, and It is believed a statement may come from him a to the policy of his government Serbia's Course TJuknown. As yet, no hint has come from Serbia as to the course King Peter's government will pursue. Serbian diplomats have characterized Bul garia's demand as exorbitant. But Important Influences have been working at the Serbian capital during the past week. Whether this has brought about a change in sentiment is problematical, and it is felt that Italy's declaration of war against Tur key may possibly delay the answer of the Serbs. Bulgaria has made no fresh move to indicate whether .Czar Ferdinand in tends to Join the allies. From various sources, however, it was learned today that Turkey and the Austro-Qermans are not so confident of keeping Bul garia neutral As they were a fortnight ago. Greeks Favor VeutraUty, Until Serbia and Bulgaria announce their decisions no change is expected at Athens or Bucharest as to the posi tions ot Greece and Roumanla. Diplo mats hsre are convinced that the Greek cabinet will favor continuance of the policy of neutrality until developments make it appear certain that Greece will have something to gain by enter ing the war. Dispatches from sources which have not always proved to be reliable today declared Roumania has been seized with the war, fever, but for the present this statement was ac cepted with reserve. ' - -,: v Turks Heed Munitions. It is believed -here that the question of supplying Turkey with munitions is becoming more serious, especially from the Turkish standpoint, owing to the landing of British relnf orcejienU in the Dardanelles. It is thought pos sible tnat Austria ana uermaoy are attempting to coerce Roumania, owing to tne extreme necessity or opening the road from Germany to Constanti nople for the shipment ef ammunition. Diplomats - took - no stock in reports ACTON FOREIGN CHOSEN PRESIDENT BY WASHINGTON LAWYERS Prosecuting Attorneys of Two States Meet and Adjourn 7 Until Tomorrow, TASTE OF OWN MEDICINE Two Qatherings Said This Morning Preliminary to Joint Session of tbe Associations. Two meetings preliminlary to the joint session of the Washington and Oregon state bar associations were held this morning. The Washington State Bar association held its separate business meeting at the library and M. F. Goes of Pomeroy, Wash., was elected president without opposition. Frank Reeves of Wenatchee, retiring president, was not eligible for reelec tion, because the constitution of the association prevents the president from iioldlng.two consecutive terms; C. Will Shaffer and Arthur Reming ton, both of Olympis, were reelected secretary and treasurer respectively. The remainder of the session was tak en up with routine business of tbe association, admission of members and reading of reports by committees. A joint meeting of Oregon prosecut ing attorneys with the Washington State Association of Prosecuting At torneys was held in the Benson hotel, but because of a mixup over the place of meeting the session was not com pleted at noon and was adjourned to :S0 o'clock tomorrow morning at the same place. At 6:50 o'clock this evening a ban quet for the prosecuting attorneys will be given at the Benson and they will leave that to attend the reception to be held at the University club. Get Taste of Own Medicine. At noon the prosecuting attorneys were given a taste ot medicine which they so frequently hand to evil doers. District Attorney Evans had arranged tbe program and when tbe session ended the "Black Mux," otherwise the police patrol, took a score or more of the visitors for a ride to the court house. There they were taken to the county jail and as guests of Sheriff Hurlburt were shown about. It was arranged that all should be herded Into one corridor and when the last one had gone Inside the big locks clanged behind them. They-were kept behind the bars while ice '"cresm and cake were furnished them in the same manner that soup and potatoes are fur nished the prisoners. Frank P. Christensen of San Juan county, Washington, president of the Washington association, which is hold ing its sixth annual meeting, opened the program with an address. Harold B. Gilbert of Yakima county, Wash ington, read the report of the legisla tive committee. Frokt Lw to Be Enforced. W. Vaughn Tanner, attorney general of Washington, wt unable to be pres ent and Scott V. Henderson, one of his assistants, addressed the convention In his stead. He said thatfas far as tbe attorney general's office was con corned the prohibition law 'in Wash ington is to be rigidly enforced and that he believed tbe same would 'be true of every prosecuting attorney. If prosecution of the law can make it a success it will not bespossible to say the law Is a failure," he promised. Attorney General George M. Brown of Oregon spoke on "Prohibition Law Enforcement" and said that the Ore gon statute to become effective is a good statute despite attacks which have been made upon it and can be enforced if prosecutors want to enforce it. Interesting discussion of decisions in criminal cases of recent date was given by R. M. Burgunder of Whitman county. At tomorrow morning's session busi ness and election of .officer will take up the time and it Is' probable that. the Oregon district attorneys will organize an association of their own.

Swimming to the aid of Miss Ger trude Wade, who was swimming in a deep hole in the Columbia river Just above Taylor's landing, near Columbia beach, and four miles above the Van couver ferry landing,' yesterday after noon, Carl J.

When the Petersons were within 10 yards of Wangerlen he threw up his hands and sank.
