CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills.—Complaints of too much
rain in the spring crop belt tended to
day to make wheat prices firm. The
opening, which was 1-8 off to a shade
advance, was followed by a moderate
rise all around.
Corn ascended in consequence of pit
offerings being scarce. From the start
a shade lower to 3-8 up, the market
scored a general advance.
Oats hardened with other grain.
Higher prices for hogs gave provisions
a lift.
Wheat later took a downshoot because
of increased acceptances on bids from
here for wheat to arrive. The close was
weak, 5-8 to 3-4a7-8 net lower.
k Corn climbed further on bullish esti
mates of reserves but tile effect failed
to last. Closing prices were steady at

Wreck Inquiry Witness Insists
Action in Fog Was Neither
Wrong Nor Dangerous.
Quebec. —Counsel for the Canadian-
Pacific Railway, ovvflers of the Em
press of Ireland, cross-examined Jacob
Saxe, third officer of the Storstad, to
day at the Empress wreck inquiry in
an effort to show that the collision be
tween the vessels was due to the ac
tion of the Stortad’s mate in putting
his helm to port.
“You know that it was wrong to al
ter your course in a fog?” asked Mr.
Aspinall.
“Yes," answered the witness.
“Did you think it was a dangerous
order?”
“No.”
“Wasn’t it wrong?” interjected Lord
Mersey, tho chairman.
“No," persisted the witness. He add
ed that he himself ordered the helm
nearly hard a-port.
“Did you do it without orders?’’
asked Mr. Aspinall.
“Yes.”
Strong Current.
Both Lord Mersey and Mr. Aspinall
asked the witness if he did not think
the collision due to the helm being put
hard a-port. Saxe insisted that this
was not the case. He declared that it
was not wrong to port the helm in a
fog because there was a strong current.
The ship did not answer the lirst port
ing of tho helm, he said, and then ho
put it hard a-port because he was
afraid she would swing over to the oth
er side. He knew the maneuver was
not responsible for the collision, ho
said, because the did not change
her course.

BY INCHES, TILE
BULL DOG ill
Harvard Defeated in Most
Thrilling of All College Races
By One-Fifth of a Second in
4 Mile Contest.
New London, Conn.—By a margin
of four inches, Yale won the varsity
iour-mlle eight-oared race on the
Thames River here late yesterday,
after a struggle that will stand out
in rowing history when the compet
ing oarsmen are forgotten.
Through a four-mile lane of yachts
and motorboats, the sixteen-crew
men toiled at the Crimson and Blue
tipped oars as no galley slaves ever
labored under the lash, while thou
sands of spectators on shore and on
observation trains shrieked hysteri
cally.
When the knlfe-Uke prows of the
racing shells had passed the final
line of flags few of the thousands
knew which crew had won.
On hoard the pudges’ boat al the
finish line could tie seen the arbiters
of the race gesticulating In confer
ence while first a blue flag and then
a crimson one was waved at the end
of n long pole. On the observation
trains the clans of Harvard and Yale
cheered by turns. Slowly tlie Har
vard colors began to sink as the
judges finally resorted to the mega
phono and screamed across the water
that Yale had won its first varsity
race ia seven years by less man a
foot, in 21 minutes, 16 seconds, with
Harvard crossing the line one-fifth
of a second later.
Never in the history of lnter-col
itglate rowing has there been a
greater exhibition of hull dog deter
mination and grit on the part of the
Sixteen oarsmen seated in rival
shells. They rowed side by side with
Yale always setting the pace. Never
once was there open water between
the shells. The blue held the advan
tage by from a quarter to three-quar
ters of a shell at every half mile flag
except that marking the three and
one-half milo station. Here the
crimson crew made Its bid for vic
tory and for a few hundred yards led
by several feet. The Eli’s soon re
gained the lead, however, which they
never relinquished.

You feel as if you had been touring
in South America for a year, and find
yourself looking around with interest
to see how everything has been pro
gressing In your absence. You ex
pect to see all the little children grown
up and married.
There was a little boy once who
used every once in a while, to run
away from home Tho family, once or
twice, sent out search parties to try a
new method. Tho next time ho ran
away they paid no attention to him
whatever and pretended they had not
noticed ills absence. In the evening ho
came home, very tired, and slunk into
the house. Nobody noticed him. He
sat down, and shuffled Ilia feet, and
squirmed, but all the family went on
reading ns if nothing had happened.
Finally he said, in a wistful and ag
grieved sort of voice: "Well,” ho said.
“I see you've got the same old eat.”
That is exactly the way you feel
when you get home.
It was pleasant and home-like to see
file same recorder holding forth, the
same policemen on the bench, and the
same old Prisoners. "laird,” one
thought, "These people haven’t re
formed yet."
A white man from the Sibley Mill
district had beaten his wife.
He said he had gone Into a room and
found her hugging and kissing their
boarder. Whereupon, be said, ho got
so mad that, had he had a shol gun,
he would have killed them both. Not
having one, lie contented himself v
pasting her in the face with some sort
of cudgel aparently, for she had a
dreadful place spreading all over tho
right cheek and eyebrow.

certain amount of wife-heating.
But her account of the events was
very different. She said she worked
hard every day and supported her hus
band, who never did a lick. Moreover,
he beat her from time to time and she
was tired of it. She had just made up
her mind to leave him for good, and
had gone into the hoarder’s room to
tell him of her determination, when
her husband came in and caught them.
She xplslned that tho boarder was an
old man and very deaf, lie was lying
on the bead, and she had to lean over
close to make him henr. She was tell
ing him to get hia things out and be
gone, for she was leaving, and there
would tie nobody to keep tho house.
Tlie woman was ill and wounded and
her statement carried weight.
Judge Irvin sentenced her husband
to ninety days in the stockade.
