The elder woman went out early today to try and raise the single dollar they needed to make up their $9 rent. While she was gone the marshal’s men came and began dis- mantling the place.

OF WHEAT. { Paul Von Brei: Covernment Investigating the Alleged Corner at Chicano. | _Chicago, Nov. 2—Any man or set of men who buy S0 much grain that the price is held out of line or out of reach of buyers may be considered to bo acting in restraint of trade. That is the basis upon which, in the opin- ion of President J. C. F. Merrill of the | Chicago board of Trade, Washington agents are investigating an alleged corner in wheat centered at Chicago and extending from Duluth and Min- neapolis to the seaboard. Although he_sald that no investiga- tion of the Chicago board of trade | itself is under way, to the best or his | knowledge. Mr. Merrill tonight signifi- cently added: | . “T do know that the federal agents who were in LaSalle street Tuesday | went to the northwestern markets yes- | terday. This makes it look as If the department of justice at Washington | considered there was some understand- ing between big wheat owners here and at other centers. So far as the beard of trade as an organization is concerned, all is serene.” Rumors were current this evening that a former stenographer of the weighmaster’s office of the board had given evidence to the government. Ac- cording to reports, the source of which is not disclosed, 60 per cent. of the country’s wheat supnly is controlled by an illexal combination of specu- lators and 17,000.000 bushels of the to- tal holdings of the ciique are in Chi- cago grain elevator UNJUSTLY ACCUSED BY MOTHER-IN-LAW. | Constant Nagging Causes Young Wife to Seek Death.

Mrs. Moraski was a constant visitor to | his bedside. This induced her mother- in-law to accuse her of being in love with the injured man, she says, and of neglecting her husband on his account. She says the constant accusations finally forced her to try to end it all. Moraski, the husband, says his mother must return to her old home | in Europe. | HOPELESS DIVISION OF JURY IN M'REE CASE. Woman Accused of Garland Murder May Be Tried Again. Opelousas, La. Nov. 2—With her bellef that she would be acquitted in a few minutes shattered, and her face | betraying anxiety, Mrs. McRee was led back to the cell she has occupled since she killed young Allan Garland in her home the morning of Sept. 21 last. The case was given to_the jury at about 12 o'clock today. The foreman reported to the oourt at 3 o'clock that the jurors were hopelessly divided but they were sent back for further delib- eration, and at 6 o’clock the court took an adjournment until tomorrow. Acting District Attorney Dubissor said that in the event of a mistrial a rchearing would be set for next Mon- day. TWO NEGROES HELD FOR THEFT OF SILVERWARE. Goods of International Silver Company i Stolen from Cars. Meriden, Conn., Nov. 2.—A large as- sortment of 1847 Roger Brothers’ sil- verware that was stolen from a freight car at the local feight yards about two weeks ago was recovered today in Bridgeport by Railroad Detective Dris- | coll and Detective Burke of the Meri- den police, who also arrested Charles Nichols, a negro, in that city, charging him with the theft. Nichols and anoth- er negro, named Arthur Miller, who was arrested under suspicion, were brought to the police station here to- might. The goods stolen are valuable and consist of knives, forks, nut crackers manufactured by the In- ternationai Silver company in this city. Part of the gocds were recovered in Bridgeport pawnshops and the rest were found in Nichols' possession. Nichols claims to be an actor, and Mil- ler says he is a waiter. The estimated valuation of the stolen goods is be- tween $300 and $400. Steamship Arrivals. At Havre: Nov. 2, La Provence, from New York. At Naples: Nov. 1, Sant’ Anna, from New York.

Havana, Nov. 2.—There is now ev- ery expectation that the exploration of the portions of the battleship Maine immeciately affected by an explosion of a mine or of the magazines will be completed by the end of November when the result of the entire exami- nation of the wreck of the battleship will be ready for submission to the board of experts.

Up to the present all revelations may | confidently be said to be strongly con- | firmatory of the findings of the Samp- son lLoard of inquiry—that the ship | was destroyéd by an exterior explo: supplemented by a partial ex- ion of one or more of the forward magazines. The officers in charge of the work, however, preserve a dis- creet reticence regarding the conclus- ions. Sections ed Up. Additional cutting away of the wreckage reveals sections of the bot- |tom and sides of the forward part | iifted up and reversed, evidentiy by a tremendous exterior force, which is apparently Inconsistent with the the- ory that this condition was due solely to’ magazine explosions. Forward Section Twisted. The forward section for a distance of 70 feet from the bow is lying on its starboard side and twisted sharp aport. Four Boilers Yet to Mov Exploration within this section has | now been completed for a distance of forty feet, leaving only thirty feet to the ‘extremiiy of the bow, which it is expecied_will be reached within two weeks. Removal of the four forward boilers has been delayed, owing to the insufficient strensth of the derricks. After-Half Can Be Floated. When they are finally extracted it will give an opportunity for explora- tion of the mud-embedded section oc- | cupled by the magazines. The work of building a wooden bulkhead amid- ships was begun today and there is now no doubt of the feasibility of floating out the after half of the ship. CORNELIUS BLISS MIGH' HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT. MecKinley Urged Him to Be Candidate for Vice President. New York, Nov. 2.—That Cornelius Bliss, former secretary of the in- terior, might have been president of the United \States had_he yielded to the pleas of William McKinley, was the declaration made-to the New York chamber of commerce today by John Claflin_of this city. This interesting bit of political history was revealed at a memorial at which resolutions eulogizing Mr. Bliss, who died recently, were adopt- ed. Mr. Claflin, an intimate friend of the former cabinet officer, delivered the principal address at the meeting. He said: “In 1900 MecKinley urged the nomination for vice president. If he had allowed his name to go before the national convention it is almost certain that no other name would have been presented and he would have geen elected with Mr. McKinley in that year. Two years later, on Mr. McKinley's | death, he would have succeeded to the presidency of the United States. TEN MEN IN JURY BOX FOR M’NAMARA CASE. A Retired Tailor Has Yet to Be Grill- ed by Lawyers. Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 2.—Barring one man, the third venire of prospec- tive jurors was exhausted at the close of court tonight in the McNamara murder case. Altogether 207 venire- men have been drawn. Of these, ten sat in the jury box tonight, having been 2ccepted as to cause by both sides —a gain of one man since vesterday’s session, in which no talesman was passed. fense in the trial of James B. Namara renewed predictions that the entire twelve might be accepted by to- morrow night if there were no hitches in getting more veniremen to examine. The newcomer is M. T. McNeely, a re tired tailor. He is still subject fo per- emptory challenge if the state or the defense should desire to exercise it. It was considered unlikely tonight that the defense so desired. MRS. INGALLS BOUGHT PACKAGE OF CIGARETTES. W. C. T. U. Worker Then Takes Her Evidence to Officials. .. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 2—Mrs. E. B. Ingalls of St. Louis, Mo., national su- perintendent of the department of anti-narcotics of the Woman's Chris- tian Temperance union, purchased a packasze of cigarettes here today. She then went to the City hall and called on Mavor Seidel. “Why can't Wisconsin's anti-cigar- ette law be enforced in this city?” she asked. The mayvor referred her to the chief of _police. ‘When Mrs. Ingalls called upon Chief of Police Jansen she was informed that his officers would look after any vio- lations of the law.
