SOME WIN
CHICAGO, May 9.—With all
"“shorts’ badly pinched and no sign
of a decrease in price, May wheat
is soaring daily.
The shorts are responsible for the
rise and some gamblers are mak
ing millions by shrewd buying in
April.

that a real shortage would compel
the higher price in May and who
grabbed up carload after ca^oad ot
all grades last April has been un
loading warily since April 29 and is
making an average of a million
dollars a day. The short sellers
paying the price.
Panicky conditions have pre
vailed in the Pit since May Day
when the real scramble began.
Three dollars, three sixteen and
three seventeen and a half today, is
the story of a three day rise in the
staff of life.
This price has now removed all
chance of bread for the poorman's
table and all because a bunch of
speculators have had to get back
their grain or go under in disgrace
among their fraternity.
While some brokers are having
the time of their lives, some of the
most conservative grain men in the
city are hard hit. The situation is
so grave that it is hard to tell
where it will stop. So many are
short who must make good within
the limits of the grain available,
that some and even conservative
men predict May wheat at three
seventy-five before the rising
market reaches its maximum price.
DABENPORT, Iowa, May 9.—
An echo of the wheat pit was heard
today when the arrest was an
nounced of i. H. Currier, manager
of the Purity Oat Co. one of the
largest cereal companies in the
middle west.
Currier is short ninety thousand
in his account, due, it is said to tak- J
ing a hand in the wheat game and
speculating wildly while caught I

ALL BUT NINE OF THE
INDUSTRIALISTS RELEASED
SEATTLE, May 9. -The prose
cutor moved to dismiss the charges
against all but nine of the indus
trialists held for, trial in respect to
the Verona massacre and in connec
tion with which the industrialist
Tracey has 'just been acquitted.
The prosecutor refused to indi
cate what course he would pursue
in regard to the prisoners whom he
holds, although Judge Ronald inti
mated that he would soon have to
indicate what action he intended to
take in the matter.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.—The
Mooney case is still in the same
condition with labor getting worked
tip over the situation in a manner
that can have no light consequences.
No steps have been taken to secure
Mooney a new trial despite the per
jury admitted now in securing his
conviction. The delay is exasperat
ing the sympathizers who have been
rallying to the aid of Mooney and
if any attempt is made to hang
Mooney, realizing that it would be
legal murder purely, the results
cannot be imagined.
The suporters of Mooney are how
ever confident yet that he will have
to be released. The facts against
themselves are so damning, it is
likely the prosecution fears to let
him loose.
An affidavit is now held by the
prosecution from one of the jurors
who stated “we brought in a ver
dict against Mooney on account ot
his past record as a union agi
tator".
