Chlcgao, Ills.—Prospects that the gov

would be bearish tended to pull down the
price of wheat. The market which
opened 1-8 off to 1-8 up. gradually un
derwent a material setback all around.
Corn rose as a result of consignments
being lighter than had been generally
expected. Prices started unchanged to

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
-
New York.—Suspension of the Tampico
blockade by the Mexican government
changed the course of the stock market
speculation today and traders who had
sold on the belief that a serious crisis
was immipent bought back their stocks.
The list quickly overcame the initial de
pression. Buying came chiefly front
the short Interest. Engagement of *L
-500,000 more gold for export was without
adverse influence In view of the favor
able hank statement of Saturday and the
accumulation of idle funds here.
Speculation was stagnant In the early
afternoon and prices barely moved. Lon
don operations were email. The copper
producers’ statement, showing an In
crease of 14,000,000 pounds in supplies
together with statements that prices for
the metal were ruling around 14 cents
were without adverse influence on the
copper Bharee.
Bonds were steady.
The market dosed easy. The supreme
court decision in the Shreveport rata
case, fsvoring the railroads and the
bullish government crop figures failed to
stir- the market. Resiling and short sell
ing farced hack prices all around toward
the end, Reading reacting a point.

COMEDY 111 TOE
LOVE EETTEOS
Impassioned Epistles From
Rapp to Mrs. Dean Read in
the Schumann-Heink Divorce
Case.
. I V
Chicago,—More impasloned letters
addresesd to Mrs. Catherine Dean and
alleged to have been written by William
Rapp, who is being sued for divorce by
Mme. Schumann-Heinkk, the famous
contralto, were introduced in Judge
Sullivan's court today.
There was a bit of comedy between
Ilia lines. Under date of August 1,
1913, the writer said: "X wrote you
Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Monday I
did not write as I had conferences all
day till late at night. Tuesday and
Wednesday I wrote. Yesterday I wait
ed all day for a letter from you and I
was discouraged at not hearing from
you.”
The reason the writer did not hear
from Mrs. Dean was In the court in
the person of Miss Ashton, a nurse
employed as a detective by counsel for
Mme. Schumann-Heink. She testified
she roomed with Mrs. Dean from
time to time during 1913, and Inter
cepted a number of letters.
Ren M. Smith, chief counsel for the
defendant, declared that he would ren
ter his defense on the allegation that
the singer was not a resident of Illi
nois and therefore not entitled to sue
for divorce In the Illinois courts. He
added that he would prove Rapps'
counter-charge of Infidelity against the
songstress.
IS NO MIDDLE
COURSE IN CASE
In Charges Against Judge
Speer,Either Recommendation
For Impeachment or Dismissal
Washington.— Members of the house
Judiciary subcommittee, which has
charge of impeachment charges
against Emory Speer, of Macon, Ga.,
United States district Judge for the
Southern District of Georgia, stated
today that no middle course was open
to the committee and that it would
recommend either that Judge Speer be
impeached or that the proceedings be
dismissed.
"The sub-committee has reached no
agreement yet,” said Chairman Webb,
of North Carolina, "but may be able
to report to the full judiciary com
mittee by next Thursday. The commit
tee cannot recommend censure as re
ported; there is no middle course.”
The eub-commlttee had another long
conference today, going over the
charges and the testimony. Represen
tative Volstead, of Minnesota, the Re
publican member, is said to be in fa
vor of sustaining Judge Speer. The
Other two members of the sub-commit
tee, representatives Webb and Fitz-
Henry, of Illinois, today absoluhelv
declined to state their positions, say
ing no conclusion had been reached.

STORM CLOUDS HANGING
OVER MEDIATION MEET
HAVE BEEN DISSIPATED
(Continued from Page 1.)
lean delegates were Informed early
today by Secretary Bryan of the atti
tude of the United States and were
prepared to submit It during the day
to the mediation conference.
Million* of Round*.
As the Antllla a Cuban ship, laden
with millions of rounds oT ammuni
tion for the constitutionalists is en
route to Tampico and should reach
there in another 48 hours, a teat case
of Huerta’s right to blockade ports
held by the constitutionalists is at
hand. The American government
several weeks ago ordered Rear Ad
miral Badger to keep Tampico open
to commerce. Whether that order in
cluded Che right of foreign govern
ments to ship arms and contraband
of war waa the partlcplar point on
which the Huerta delegate* have
sought information.
Disagreement.
A disagreement over the right of
the Huerta government to blockade
Tamidco, it is generally realized,
might easily lead to a disruption of
the proceedings. The embarrassing
feature to the United States, lies In
the fact that, not having recognized
the Huerta government, it cannot
concede that. Huerta is entitled to
engage In an act Involving Interna
tional law.
Intense Interest.
Along wltfh the Antilla Incident the
mediation colony was intensely inter
ested in what General Carranza might
have to say on his arrival at Saltillo.
It I* genedally understood that either
today or tomorrow he will send In
structions to Rafael Zubaran, his
special representative in Washington,
answering the la*t communication
from the mediator*.
Is Not Known.
Whether the constitutionalist* will
come into the negotiations on the
terms fixed by the mediators—the
declaration of an armistice and an
arrangement to discuss internal ns
well an International questions—ls
not known to any of the principals
(here.
Informal and unofficial expressions
from Washington, however, to the ef
fect that Carranza might be willing
to discuss aspects of the internal
problem but would refuse to grant
an armistice, at least immediately,
is known accurately to represent the
constitutionalist*’ leaders idea*.
There is a possibility of a middle
ground being reached on those points
but until the mediator* know more oT
the purpose* of the constitutionalists'
plans for their participation neces
sarily are held In abeyance.

HUERTA DECIDES NOT TO
FORCE HAND OF U. S.
AND PROVOKE THE WAR
(Continued from Pngo 1.)
vent a 'setback in the peace negotia
tions. It was officially stated that
the Mexican government in ordering
the blockade of Tnmplco had no in
tention of interfering with commer
cial traffic. Its intention was only
to prevent the constitutionalists from
receiving arms and ammunition.
Unofficial.
Washington, D. C.—Unofficial In
formation has been received here that
Gen. Huerta has countermanded his
order for the blockade of Tampico.
There were no direct advices to this
government but from sources which
have been In close touch with Mexi
can developments Information come
which was regarded as reliable. There
were no early advises from Rear Ad
miral Badger whatever.
Good Grounds.
The unofficial reports which reach
ed Washington, however were of such
a character that there seemed to be
good ground for believing that the dic
tator had determined after alt, not to
blockade Tampico In the face of Preai
dont Wilson’s determination that it
should be kept open to the commerce
of the world and thereby force the
band of the United States again with
the possibility of disrupting the rnedi
tlon proceedings at Niagara Falls.
Unless Huerta changes his mind
again what promised to he another
crisis seems to have passed over.
Were Silent.
While all officials nere preserved a
significant silence on what would be
the action of Rear Admiral Mayo at
Tampico if the Mexican gunboats Bra
vo and Zaragosa should attempt to
interfere with he liner Antllla, bearing
a war cargo for the constitutionalists.
It was pointed out that the orders to
keep Tampico an open port had not be
changed. From all outward appear
ance* the American warships lying at
the mouth of the river were prepared
to enforce them.
No Report,
The Z.aragosa and Bravo should
have arrived at Tampico about 5
o'clock this morning. Followed by
the United Whites ships Sacramento
and Tacoma they passed Vera Cruz
yesterday. In the absence of any
new report today Secretary Daniels
wired Rear Admiral Badger for a ro
port of their position. The possi
bility that Huerta’s decision not to
blockade the port may have diverted
them, was taken Into the reckoning
here but that was considered doubtful
as the Mexican ships have very inef
ficient wireless.

ESCAPED LION
CAUSE!) PANIC
Broad Street Thrown Into Ctati
fusicn Today by Wild Beast
at Large.
Pandemonium was created on Broad
Street about noon today when the
news went abroad that there was a
lion at large in town.
Hurrying women were seen taking
elevators and street, cars. Everybody
was asking everybody else what the
meaning of the rumor was. Was
I here a lion In town to escape? Whose
lion?
Hut nobody wanted to take any
chances ami soon the street was de
serted. People stayed In the stores,
whence you could see them peeping
out of the windows.
It was 1 o'clock before they began
to emerge once more, and to feel re
assured by the rumor that the lion
had been re-cnntured.
What actually happened, to cause
all the excitement, was the tempo
rary eecaie of one of the Ilona who
will appear in Wednesday night’s
Vaudeville, when Madame Elsie da
Fey will show lor the first time be
fore the Augusta public with her fa
mous trouj) of performing lions. One
of these lions this morning at 11:30
decided that It was too hot for him
possibly to appear. He was re-cap
tured about 1 o'clock by the combined
of ort. of the Committee, with the in
ducement of more money.
But for a while the public was
thrown into a nasty panic.
