Chicago, April 10.—Nearby deliveries
ol corn showed comparative firtnr\e««»
today owing- to tho fivct that overniRht
purchaaei* to arrive wvr^ small liraa
much as yesterday's break In prices
had carried the market below a level
at 'which $1.50 per bushel at loading

however, remained hearisli. and the
September option was under notice
able selling pressure. It was said the
puverninent has assigned a large num
ber of additional oars to the Chicago
district to help hasten the crop move
I ment. Opening prices, which ranged
from cents off to S cents advance,
with May at $ 1.5«*"vs and July at Jl.oOVj
11- $i.:.i were follov ed by a moderate
sag all around, and then something o'
a rally.
Later the market displayed more

of renewed competition from Angen

cents lower to cent advance, with
May at $1.5*% to

and July at
Oats.
Adverse weather for seeding tended
to steady oats. After opening un
changed to cent higher, with May
67 cents to 67 4i cents, the market held
within narrow limits.
Provisions.
Provisions lacked support. Bearish
sentiment as to hogs and corn was
responsible.
Later selling by houses with stock
yard connections led to further de-
clines.

LAMSON'S MARKET REPORTS.
Furnished by Lamson Bros. & Co., 203
Masonic Templet Phone 193.
Chicago. April 10.—'Corn—Confidence
in the outcome of the corn market
has been somewhat unsettled yester
day and today by the congestion in
the east, which is one of the factors
in a slow shipping demand. Definite
competition of Argentine corn with
the domestic article in the east is the
other important factor in the change
in local sentiment. Deferred deliveries
lost ground today, while the May was
relatively firm, closing unchanged.
Car shortage is retarding the move
ment from the country which other
wise^would be much more liberal.
Oats—The same influences that
prevailed In corn depressed oats.
There was the same support as yes
terday from bad weather and the
prospect of further rain and snow in
the west, which is interfering with
seeding operations.
Provisions—Product was weaker on
selling by houses with stock yardfl
connections some of which was be
lieved to be hedges and some due
to the. weakness In grain. Hogs were
10 cents lower.

the suit brought by the trustees last

(Christian Science Monitor.
The other members of the board of

other directors on April 4.

directors constitutes the supreme au
thority over all departments of Chris

many of the church by-laws.

has been an increase in the Income of

Washington, April 8.—A concerted
drive will be made in the sixty-sixth
congress to gain statehood or a great
er degree of Independence for Ameri
can insular possessions and Alaska.
AVith the possible exception of Alas
kan claims, the effort, to succeed, will
have to knock down a veritable barri
cade of opposition unless republican
leaders radically change their minds in
the next few months.
The Filipinos were the first to start
their campaign by sending a commis
sion headed by Manuel l* Quezon,
president/of the Filipino senate, to
this country to push a claim fo(r Inde
pendence such as Cuba now enjoys.
The commission, which laid Its plea
before Secretary of War N. D. Baker
yesterday, will remain in Washington
for some time.
Instead of bringing a commission
here, Porto Ricans are taking a party
of 26 American congressmen to Porto
Rico a week from todaiy In an effort to
convince tl*e lAmerlcan legislators that
the Island is ready for either statehood
or independence as an American pro
tectorate. Felix Cordova Davila, Porto
Bican commissioner, will accompany
the party.
_A bill for Hawaiian statehood was
introduced jn the last congress by J.
Kulio Kulanlanole, Hawaiian delegate,
and will be reintroduced in the next.
Charles A. ftiuizer, Aluskan delegate
to congress, will push a measure to
give Alaska a modern elective terri
torial assembly.
Representative Charles F. Curry of
California, who will l^p chairman of
-tfio next house committee on territor
ies, today said he favored giving Alas
ka greater degree of selfgovernment,
but declined to comment on Hawaii's
claims. Other leaders declared they
were against tho Hawaii, Filipino and
Porto Rloan claims, and declared that
Hawaii was jrging statehood, but
would be glad to take something less
in the way of a greater degree of self
govern uieiit.
"Representative Horace Towner of
Iowa, slated tb be chairman of the next
house Insular affairs committee, said:
"There has ^always been In the Ha
waiian Islands an undefined desire to
be admitted as one of the states of the
tTnion. However, the diverse nature of
the citizenship and the small amount
of the membership of the Caucasian
race In the islands has made the propo
sition impracticable."
The Portuguese and Japanese are
the dominating races in Hawaii and
there is also a large German colony.
"In Porto Rico there are two politi
cal parties," Towner explained, "One.
the unionist party, ask a complete In
dependence under the protectorate of
tho United States. The other, the re
publican party, asks, for statehood.
"The unionist party is largely In tho
I
majority and thslr rspwa tatty* wto
Is commissioner, Is asklng for either
Independence or statehood. That* Is
not very muoh sentiment In this coun
try for Independence and tho earns dlf
Acuities In regard to Its admission as^
:i state exlstn In the oass the Ha
waiian Inlands,"
I'orto Rlcfti) admission to statehoo4
will automatically out off the Island
custom revenues without which It
would be difficult for the Island to
mttke both ends meet, It was said.
Commissioner Davlla says Porto Rico
has won th* right to Independence by
7.50® 13.50 record In the war alone. 'JTnde
pemlent or not, we will always follow
the United Httttes," Davlla aald.
