PUBLIC HAS DEATH
GRAPPLE ON WHEAT
WORLI
[WIFE OF A VANDERBILT
IN ROW WITH OFFICIALS
Popular Grain Soars Above
$1 Again and Offerings
Are Absorbed.
Chicago, May tl.—The public haa a
death grip on the wheat market today.
When the wheat pit opened thli morn,
log one of the moat sensational atrug-
flee of the past few years developed
between the local talent and the public.
In this struggle wheat soared above
the tl mark and the public continued
buying every bushel of wheat offered,
and as fast as ft was dumped Into the
pit. This made the market exceeding
ly strong and excited today. The re
sult of this situation Is that the local
talent can not re-establish their lines.
Most of them sold out for profit-taking
and now they are unable to regain
their positron. They are trying to ham
mer down the prices.

POPE PIUS X PETITIONED
TOALLOWPRIESTSTOWED
Paris, May 21.—Under the caption:
"Holy Father, Marry Your . Priests,"
Gllblas, In a three-column article yes
terday, come* out In a sensational ap
peal to Pope riua X to abrogate the
rule of obligatory celibacy for prleata
of tha Roman Catholic church.
The paper declares that a petition
signed by 2,000 French priests and
curates has been forwarded to Rome,
praying for tha abolition of the rule of
clerical celibacy. It Is added that other
similar petitions from other countries
have been sent to the Vatican.
In the extracts from the texts of the
petition published It Is stated:
"Among all the problems now con
fronting, tha prelates of France none
la more Important than the question of
clerical celibacy. The solution of this
question should be forthcoming with
out delay. Jills solution, we do not
hesitate to predict, should by human
nature, by right, by Instruction of the
evangel, by • decree abolishing ec
clesiastical celibacy, thus rendering
marriage optional with the clergy. Wo
write these lines coldly, advisedly, with
conviction and with no other concern
than a desire to tell the truth and noth
ing but tha truth. We say aloud what
others think or whisper, guided solely
by care for the health and souls of the
future Catholic religion In France.'
