CHICAGO GRA1JI A?in PROVISION'S
Featarea of the) Tradlnar and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29 Hessian Fly rrporta
from Kansas helped to strengthen the
wheat market hera today. At tho close
prlrea were VC to 3Vo higher, comisircd
with yesterday's final quotations. Corn
and oata closed steady and provisions firm.
Although business on the Board of Trade
was greatly handicapped hy the crippled
wire service, trade In the wheat pit at
limes displayed considerable activity. A
weak tone wm manifested at the start, be
cause of extremely liberal ahipments of
wheat this wwek from Argentine nnd Aus
Hrallav, the movement ifrom the former
country being 4.494.000 bu.. which was oon-
alderably more than had been estimated
yesterday, while. Australia exported s.mo.iwi nVhl frV.i :. "Vf" P'""'

RALLY NEAR END OF SESSION
alnea Advance on ")!( by shorts,
bat It Iw Is ot Held Money Is
Firmer Recaase of Demand
from Trast Companies.
NEW YORK. Jan. 29 The narrow pro
fessional dimensions of the current sunk
market were demonstrated In the limita
tion of the price movement. The slmrt
Interest built un In the course of yester-
v s tsnsrp decline and its moderate ex
tension esrly todav was sufficient to
bring about a rallv before the day was
over, which was, however, poorly held.
Tho character of the market was not
rtaily changed. The abundance of
money, however, seems without stimulat
ing effect on the demand for securities
nd the market fell Into a aeml-slHgnauv
condition after the needs of the shorts
were supplied. Various degrees of dissit
Isfaction were felt and reflected In the
truxlif lention of valus or the recom
mendation of senate Judiciary committee at
washtnaon against protoHed changes in
he Sherman anti-trust law and with the
nnounccment of the coming oral ex
mlnallon of stock exchange officials by
he Hughes committee to suggest changes
In laws. The Impression was conveyed
that refotm will be attempted through this
ommlttee s recommendation of some
features of stock market procedure, which
may prove embarrassing to speculative
operations.
December net earninas of railroads
showed gratifying improvement in net
earnings over those of the depressed period
tho preceding years.. A noticeable.
feature of the iHKember returns as they
Increase, Is that where gross earnings have
begun to show growth over last year's
low level the cut In operating cist is not
made so drastic aa In earlier months and
ven. In some cases. Is substantially ex-
ponded over December of last year. The
principal Item of the monthly money mar-
et settlement now due will be the addi
tion to trust company reserves for Feb-
uary 1. A slightly firmer tone In the call
money market todav mar have been due
to preparation for thia. Money Iihh flowed
lo New York In large volume from the
Interior again this week, but withdrawal
of government deposits and exports of
gold have made the subtreasury a gainer
from the banks on tlte weeks exchanges.

When "Weary Willie-' travels along the
dusty road or appears In the Illustrated
weeklies he does not look like a serious
problem. But when it Is stated by a
prominent rallwray offleer that vagrants
cost the American railways at least $25,
000,000 a yeaf1 because of their depredations.
the matter looks more serious. A isew
York charity organisation officer has re
cently received from a half hundred rail
roads In the United Btates the latest word
regarding vagrancy, on their lines.
W. H. Canntff, president of the New
Tork, Chicago & St. Iifruls railroad, states
that on one occasion during June, 103 men
were ejected from one of the freight trains
of the company In e. Journey of 132 miles.
J. B. CThllds, general manager of the New
York, Ontario At Western, ssys that there
are probably 60 per cent more vagrants
passing over the lino than a year akgo.
Typical depredations of these vatrranta are
hold-ups and breaking Into cars and sta
tions. The Norfolk ft Western reports.
through Its president, that the Increase In
vagrancy over a year ago Is 25 per cent.
a fact particularly noticeable in the In
creased robbery of ears. "We have had,"
reports the president, "Instances of brako
men and conductors being killed or as
saulted in attempting to eject trespassers,
and not all of these trespassers are vag
rants and without means."
George B. Blade, general manager of the
Northern Pacific, reports that the line Is
more troubled with vagrants this year than
ever before. They pilfer cars, set tires
along the right-of-way, build fires Inside
the cars, use the company's shanties, ter
rorise the occupants of section houses and
commit the various usual depradattona.
The . Pennsylvania railroad, reporting
through Its president, shows that it Is
thoroughly stirred up by the tramp nuls
ance, and during April, May and June, 1908,
made 3,100 Arrests, aa against 1.074 arrests
for August, September and October, 1907,
In some of the eastern states there is a
plague of yegg-men committing petty thefts
breaking Into stores, robbing farm houses
and In general committing various kinds
of lawlessness. These "yeggs" are accus
tomed to travel on freight trains. For
tunately for a woman who had been threat
ened by a vagrant In Camden. N. J., re
cently, her husband wss at home and gave
the beggar a sound thrashing. 'When such
things happen the police often make
'round-up," which, because spasmodic and
because the vagrants are frequently let off
with a suspended sentence, has little effect
A New Yorker Interested in the tramp
question, who for a year has gathered from
all over the United Btates clippings relat
ing to vsgrsncy, ssys that the most strik
ing thing about the clippings is the entire
absence of p'sns anywhere for treating the
question ot vagrancy systematically. He
also states that far too frequently there
come to his attention reports of most atro
cious assaults upon women and children,
these brutal crimes being possibly because
of the continued Indifference displayed by
most communities toward an systematic
plan for reducing vagrancy. New York

ALIVE FOR MORNING ONLY
MYSTERY IN THE GRAFT POOL!
Bright and Dnrk Sides of the Battle)
for Honesty In San Fran-rlseo.
HOGS Up until noon less than 2,500 hogs
had been reported In the yards, and at
that time It was uncertain whether any
more would get In In tlrnei for today's
market. Under the circumstances packers
were not disposed to take hold sndl do
much business, ss there waa hardly encaigh
hogs on sale to make a killing for one
house. The result was that what few
hoga sold went to shippers and speculators
st prices strong to be higher than yester
day. However, nothing had been dons up
until a late hour.
SHEEP Receipts of sheep this morning
consisted of only twelve loads, of which
nine rars were feeders bought to arrive
at $440, the sme price that the same stuff
brought yesterday. Some ewes sold st
$4.76. a good strong price, and a small
bunch of Iambi sold at $7.26, a good strong
price. There was a good demand from all
the packers on account of the change In
the weather, and had there been anything
at all desirable here the market would
undoubtedly have been quite a little
stronger, as the depression this week baa
been due entirely to the unseasonably
warm weatiier. Up until yesterdsy there
had been a decline of liijICc for the week,
but. with today's advance, a good share
of this decline was regained and r losing
prices pre not so very much lower than
a week ago.

A BLOW THAT IS A BLOW
Ohio Genlas Saggesla Compressed Air
for Boosting- People Off
the Traek.
The public s.tvlce board cf New York
City has given out details of a new plan
which Is Intended to do awsy with car
fenders. The inventor, who lives In Can
ton, O., ssys that compressed air may be
used to blow persons off ths track when
they fall In front of A car. He adds that
If (he plan Is adopted It will do away en
tirely with fenders and wheel guards.
The Inventor, whose name was not given,
heard of the fender and whel guard tests
mhlch were conducted by the public service
commissioners of this stste recently in
Sclenectady and In Pittsburg to determine
the most efficient safety device of this
sort. Then he wrote to the commission, say.
Ing:
"With my arrangement the contact with
the moving ear is avoided. The motor man,
seeing the person In danger, strikes a push
button with his foot or finger, and a blast
of compressed sir blows the p-rson off
snd to the outside of the trscks. The valve
ts operated by electric action. It Is a fact
that a blast of air with pressure enough
to remove a person win not necessarily
Injure the person. There is not much ap
paratus to this, and I think it would be as
cheap at first cost, fsr mere durable, and
not at all so liable to get out of order ss
the average fenders In use. The air brakes
may be operated from the same tank. The
tank should be large enough for at least
one good blast and to carry 150 pounds
pressure, as th's high pressure Is the most
reliable." New York Press.
Wallace Irwin said the other day that
It was the fate of the San Francisco graft
probecution to have a romantic veil
thrown around all the events in connec
tion with It.
The mystery about the death of Chief
of Police Blggy has not been dispelled.
Why this big, full-blooded man, at the
height of official power In his avoca
tion, should have slipped to his death,
over the atern of a launch Into San Fran
cisco bay no one knows. The romantic
and yet the most conceivable explanation
Is that he crossed tha bay to take or
ders" from the anti-prosecution ring. In
connection with the successful effort to
conreal how Haas, Heney's would-be as
sassin, got a pistol for his Jail suicide.
Blgay was appointed as a reform chief,
and it Is supposed that the gang's "or
ders" In this direction simply proved too
much for his sense of decency and per
sonal honor, and made him drown himself
as ths easiest wsy out of sn unbearable
position.
The police commissioners have just a p.
pointed Blggy's successor. Under pres
sure brought by Mayor Taylor, the poeW
scholar-lawyer head of San Francisco,
the commissioners with picturesque un
expectedness raised the department prop
erty clerk to the position of supreme
command. This wss dons only after a
mist aggressive fight by the prosecution
pres.-i, as the mayor hsd determined to
keep his hands off and the commission
ers had made up their minds to appoint
an Instrument of the machine. Jess
Cook, the new chief, receives the tenta
tive approval of rlpreckles and Older, as
his record for' honesty and efficiency ta
good and ha never has been associated
with the Schmltz-Ruef grafters.
For the prosecution the nest thing la
sight Is the actual trial of some of ths
"higher ups." Ruef may use legal de
lays to keep himself out of prison for a,
period estimated at three years longer,
but with his conviction and fourteen
year sentence actually on the records, the)
way Is clear for other convictions.
Where the fight will lead and where tt
will rcme out not even a San Franciscan,
can asy. Other American cities can but
watch and Interpret events for them
selves rejoicing in the successes of ths
enemies of corruption and grieving At
their disheartening setbacks. Chicago
