WASHINGTON. June 10-Henry A. Win.
United state district attorney of New
York, frankly admitted to the house com
mittee on expenditures In the department
of justice today he could not say why It
was that the gnvi-rnment had been content
merely to collect duties In the sugar frauds
cases and had not seised and confiscated
the millions of dollars' worth of sugar
. Involved In the frauds.
When Mr. Wise specifically was aaked
why the sugar Itself had not been declared
forfeited to the government, he aald:
"I am unable to answer that question
because the ikIIc.v of the government had
been determined before I became district
attorney. I don't want o reflect on any
one. but I say that I have exacted a
pound of flesh In every Instance where I
haie been concerned."
Chairman Htall aid he had noticed that
. women and others who tried to defraud
me government were usually required to
forfeit their Imports and he considered
it a great misfortune that the sugar Im
porters had not boon treated likewise.
Mr. Wise, In discussing another phase
of the sugar prosecution ht New York, said
that every man "higher up" who could
be reached had been proceeded against.
Con Id Have Convict! Hirrmerrr.
"I think President Havemeyer of the
American Sugar Refining company could
have been prosecuted and convicted," said
Ur. Wise.
Mr. Havemeyer died shortly after the
frauds were discovered. Other officers
of the sugar corporation in Mr. Have
meyer's day ware alluded to by Mr. Wise
as "mere mannlkins."
Chairman Beall at this point questioned
Mr. Wise as to the recent Indictment of
cotton brokers on charges of attempting
, to corner the cotton market.
Mr. Wlae taid the reason that the see-
. ond Indictment against the cotton buyers
' withheld from July to December was
that one of the men under indictment was
out of the country. He testified that the
indicted met were charged with dealing
with not mora than 1-36 bf the entire sup
Ply. Mr. Wpellwantei to know why so
much aCtlvltyTtnT'EJeu manifested against
hu men who had dealt in so small a
quantity of a commodity, while no steps
had been taken toward legal proceedings
. against, the officials of the Standar.1 on
4 tobacco, or steel corporations.' Mr. Wlsa

JUAREZ. Mex.. June 10 A telegram
from Chihuahua, today says the situation
there is Inexplicable. The federal troops
refuse to surrender the city and will not
allow General Orosco or any of his 8,000
Insurrectos to enter with their arms. Ap
peals have been sent to Mexico City, ask
ing the minister of war to settle the diffi
culty. The American residents complain
that the city Is being kept on a war
basts and all business Is Interrupted. Gen
eral Orosco repeatedly has raid he would
enter the city by force unless his men
were soon given permission to take pos
session. The reason the Insurrectos are being
kept out appears to be a fear that If they
are allowed to enter with aw.s they win
get beyond control and give vent to long

These Interests Include banks once ran

Support of Big Longs on Cash Side
Prevents Bigger Crash When Stop
Loss Orders Pour In.
CHICAGO, June 10. Stop loss selling of
July wheat drove the price for that option
down t cents a bushel today. The close
was demoralised and within H cent of the
bottom figure of the session. Only the
support of the big longs In the cash market
prevented a worse smash.
The collapse followed attempts of own
ers in Winnipeg to dispose of July wheat at
low prices In Buffalo. A sympathetic de
cline here encountered a flood of stop loss
orders and there was almost in a twink
ling a falling away of prices which in
point of suddenness does not often meet
with a parallel. The extreme decline in
other futures waa only 1 eenta
Developments after the close of trading

Tha ashes were carried so high in the
air by the upruah from the volcanic crater
that thay were floating in the thin air far
above the level of the cirrus clouds, which
maintained an extremely high altitude last

The intense hot wave of the last two

of rains at many points, and the Burling

Grand Island. The part of the state which
Is suffering most is the southwest section
from Grand Island west.
The grain men, on the other hand, are
using the drouth to stimulate speculation
and are giving out reports emphasising the
dry spots. A statement of A. H. Bewsher
of the Bewsher Grain company Is as fol
lows: "A wheat condition that locked like a
60,000,000-bushel crop at the time the Com

- Hamilton, Polk ' and Merrick counties
have suffered heavily in wheat and oat

telegraphed. He said that there would be
only a half wheat crop In those counties.
With h little rain it . is reported from

From other parts of the state the corre

LEAVENWORTH, Kan., June 10.-The
body of Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas
atiti-naloon worker who died here l.t
night, wa taken today to Kansas City,
Kan., by Mr. M. D.' Moore of that city, a
sister-in-law of Mrs. Nation, and M".
George Schubert of Los Angeles, her niece.
The funeral services will be at the home
Mrs. Moore tomorrow. Carrying out tht
expressed desire of Mrs. Nation, the burial
will be in Richmond, Mo., where her par
ents are burled.
For several months Mrs. Nation had
been in poor health and on January 2
she entered the local sanitarium, hoping
to recover from a nervous breakdown.
it became evident several daya ago that
Mrs. Nation could not recover and Dr. A. L.
Suwalsky, physician at the sanitarium. In
formed her that the end waa nuar. She
said nothing, but smiled. She became un
conscious at noon today and did not revive.
Relatives had been telephoned for, but
only Dr. Suwalsky and a nurse were at her
bedside when she died.
Worry over law suits, which she had
brought against a lecture bureau for alleged
failure to pay for services on the platform,
Is said to have caused her to break down.
While Mrs. Nation was in the sanitarium
none but relatives were allowed to visit
her.. ' She was not permitted even to read
.letters, as doctors feared that they might
contain some hint of the pending suits.
The leist five months, of Mrs. Nation's life
was in marked contrast to her former ac
tivity. Once she saw a physician at the
sanitarium smoking a clgaaette. She made
no remonstrance, merely saying that she
had done all she could to "eradicate the
evil."
The ' body will be sent to Kansas City,
Kan., where a nephew lives, tomorrow
morning. Funeral services will be held
there probably Sunday.
(Sketch of Life.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born In Ken
tucky In 1846. Her maiden name waa Carrie
Moore and as a girl, it Is said, she was
absolutely fearless. Early in life she
married a man addicted to the use of
intoxicants, which created In her an in
tense aversion to the saloon. When he
died aha determined to devote her life to
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and married
David Nation, who sympathised with her
temperance principles.
Mrs. Nation's first saloon smashing was
done in tne oarrooom or tne carey hotel,
at w,chlt' December 27. OT. She was ar-
restea ana remained in jail ror several days
before she was released on bond. On Janu
ary, S, 1901, armed with her favorite weapon,
a hatchet, Mrs. Nation made another raid
In Wichita, where she smashed two joints.
The next three months Mrs. Nation visited
joints In various Kansas towns, appear
ing unheralded and leaving a trail of ruined
barroom fixtures wherever she went.
Many joint keepers became terror-stricken
when the militant temperance advocate
appeared in their neighborhood and locked
their places and fled before tha -faithful
hatchet could get Into action.
Remarkably few of the saloonmen used
violence in resisting Mrs. Nation, although
she was assaulted and badly hurt while
wrecking a joint at Enterprise. Kan.
By this time the state of Kansaa was

Senator La Kollctte of Wisconsin la en.
gaged In preparing his minority report
from the finance committee on the reci
procity bill. It will embody the first de
tailed announcement of the. views ot tht
senate progressives on the measurethat
Is, of the element of the progressives who
are seeking the amendment of the bill and
are opposed to it In Its' present shape. It
Is expected La Follette will seek to mak
it clear that he Is for the principle o
reciprocity, but -opposed to the pending
measure as improperly drawn and In n?ed
of modification and amendment. Hla po
sltlon will be or especial importance at
this time. In view of the movement to
nominate him for president.
It la the intention to make reciprocity

Reciprocity Is at the bottom of the!
troubles of the Insurgent republicans In
the failure of their efforts to make hend-.
way agalnHt the movement to renominate
aft The insurgents got off on the wrong;
foot when they decided not to atand for,
the reciprocity agreement. At least that!
Is the way shrewd politicians view the
situation now.
Some of the insurgent leaders declare
the.- will be able before the reciprocity de
bate Is over to show that the existing;
reciprocity agreement agreement la a de
lucion and that they will point the way to.
effective reciprocity, but this Is not the
view generally entertained here.
Evidence accumulates that President
Taft Is gaining strength because of his
support of reciprocity. Former Represen
tative Martin J. Wade of Iowa, declare
the speech of President Taft at Chicago,
greatly strengthened the cause of reci
procity In the reecnt special election in.
the Ninth Iowa district, and would have
strengthened It more had It had mora
time to permeate.
Letters pouring Into the White House
give evidence that the president's advo
cacy of reciprocity Is taking well.
