Doubt as to Whether Gates’ | Interests Were Acting En- tirely in Good Faith FEW IN MANIPULATION Armonr People Are Now Said to Have Been Short on Neveral Million Bushels NEW YORK, April 28.—Now that | some of the inner workings of the May wheat deal in Chicago have come to light, people are wondering whether the alleged attempt on the part of the Gates interests to corner wheat was made in good faith. Until the ation in Milwaukee became no rumor of outside interests the May speculation in Chicago For two months in reached the East. prices have been held above $1 10 by what was evidently the manipulation of but few, if any, outside of the Chi- | cago pit, and there was no suspicion | that several million bushels were be- ing held for the Northwestern banker who was putting up all his own securi- tles to protect his interest and in a| frantic effort to boost prices was bor- | rowing right and left and finally, in sheer desperation, hypothecated funds of the institution of which he was president. About two months ago it was rum- ored that the Gates party in New York had accumulated a line of anywhere from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 bushels of May wheat. The actual supply of wheat in Chicago was considerably less than 5,000,000 bushels and it needed no very astute mathematical calculation to figure out a very troublesome time for the people who had been fool- hardy enough to sell May wheat short, if the reports of the size of the long interest were correct. It was ally known that the Armour in- were short of several million bush of May contracts. It is not believed that this was in the nature of a speculative venture, but was sim- ply hedge sales of May contracts against the actual wheat stored in their own elevators. But the Armour people would like to sell their cash wheat to the millers and have it pass consumption. As long as the price futures was so much above the of contract wheat, it was_ diffi- t to cover without loss and so the wheat was held { P. A.

King of Belgium and Others Discuss | Advisability of Making Prince | Albert Heir Presumptive, | LONDON, April 28.—A dispatch | from Antwerp to the Daily Telegraph | states that King Leopold, the Count of | Flanders (brother of the King) and | the Belgian Finance Minister are de- | bating the advisability of making the Count of Flanders’ son, Prince Albert, | legal heir presumptive to the throne of Belgium by obtaining Par- liamentary sanction for the Count of Flanders’ renunciation, already agreed upon, of his claim to the succession It is feared, however, that the So- in the Chamber of Deputies | violently oppose the measure, es- | it §s also proposed to trans- | | fer the Count of Flanders' allowance of $40,000 who yearly to Prince Albert, | is poor. The Socialists and Pro- | ves want to suppress this allow- | ance on the ground that as both King Leopold and the Count of Flanders are millionaires they ought to provide for the heir presumptive out of their pri-| vate funds. sl i MARRIES COUPLE SEPARATED BY THREE THOUSAND MILES Telegraph Wire Enables a Kentucky Minister to Perform a Novel Ceremony.

SAN DIEGO, April 28.—Judge Tor- rance to-day overruled a demurrer filed by Mayor-elect John L. Sehon to the contest of his election brought by ex-Mayor D. C. Reed to determine Sehon'’s eligibility to serve as Mayor of San Diego. Judge Torrance also de- nied the motion made by Sehon’s at- torneys for a dismissal of the case. The contest was brought to deter. mine whether Captain Sehon, who is a retired United States army officer, oc- cupies a lucrative office under the Government, and whether the office of Mayor is created under the consti- tution of this State. Judge Torrance held that Captain Sehon is still an of- ficer of the United States army and | not an honorary pensioner. The court also held that the office of Mayor is created under the State constitution, which prohibits any person holding a lucrative office under the United States Government from occupying a civil office of profit. It is understood that Sehon will re- fuse to file an answer and that when judgment is given against him he will appeal to the Appellate Court. This will enable him to assume the office | of Mayor next Monday. SUSPENDS NAVY FARD FOREMAN ‘Special Dispatch to The Call.
