MAY WHEAT GAMBLE IS
STOPPED BY AUTHORITY
CHICAGO, May 13.—Tbe Board
of Trade has withdrawn May wheat
from speculation altogether.
This action followed the summary
notice that such would be prohi
bited and the advice that the gov
ernment was taking steps in this
directioa.
No May wheat bids may be made
or accepted in the floor of the pit.
Traders however show no inten
tion of their being prohibited from
having their gamble. They forced
up July wheat 28 cents in one day
and September followed a jump of
31 cents, this after the prohibition
of May wheat from speculation.
Speculation in futures in grain is
a risky buisness now as it is prac
tically agreed to by all that prohi
bition of speculation in all food
stuffs will be made by the govern

SEATTLE, May 13.—The Puget
Sound country is now enjoying the
long delayed boom with wages bet
ter than at any period since tiie
summer of 1 907.
Ship building in Seattle is being
rushed and yards are extending in
all directions. The sawmills are
literally swamped with orders for
structure lumber and the payroll
of western Washington in this in

of two million dollars a month over
one year ago.
DOME DESTROYED IN FIRE
NEW YORK CITY HALL
NEW YORK, The dome of tho
New York City Hall caught fire
today and almost at once the report
was in circulation that German
spies had committed an incendiary
act.
The dome was completely de
stroyed before the flames were con
trolled by tbe fire department,
which however did good work in
preventing its spreading to the rest
of the building.
An examination of the burned
section reveals unmistakably thal
defective wiring caused the conflag

tions there is an abundance ol
wheat. This is especially the case
in the west, while Canadian stocks
are still high. A Washington dis
patch says that the administration
is now arranging to prevent any
speculation in grain or other food
in the immediate future and this
dispatch is too authoritative to be
ignored.
Anything in the line of job work
The long delayed prosperity that
lumber interests have watched other
sections enjoying since the war be
gan, has now at length reached
here and (he demand lor men is
unequalled in many months and
years.
The wages are such as to be still
low enough for unskilled workers,
but. at that they are better than in
a considerable number of years.
Wood and steel ships are being
built in every yard and work is
only limited by the quantity of ma
material to be had.
Those yards where they are over
taking the material supplied are in
the meantime building exten
sions so that when the ma
the material comes to hand they
will be able to operate on a more
extended scale.
It is highly unlikely that there
will be any very great exodus from
Seattle to any Alaska section this
year and in fact many are return- I
ing here from Alaskan points at the
present time by reason of the better
pay.
WILL LIKELY CONSIDER
DELEGATE CONTEST SOON
WASHINGTON, D. May 13.—
It is expected that the Election
Committee will hear the claims of
the Honorable James Wiekersham
to be recognized as the delegate
from Alaska instead of the Honor
able Charles Sulzer now the seated
delegate.
Wiekersham will claim that the
board had no right to throw out
any ballots, that Judge Jennings
had no authority to mandamus the
board to issue a certificate to Sul
zer, and that as the count shows
that he (Wickersham l had the ma
jority vote he is the candidate who
should have been awarded the certi
ficate of election.
