PRICE OF WHEAT
Report That Italy Will Join Allies
Sends Prices Down—Other Rea
sons Also Given.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—The price of
wheat dropped today because of the
report that Italy would enter the war
against Turkey. It is said by the
brokers, who have agents in every
country, that if Italy comes in Greece
and Rumania and possibly Bulgaria
will join the Allies and in conse
quence the war will be over in a few
months, as the Germanic allies would
be crushed by the terrible weight of
numbers. Italy, Rumania and Greece
and even Bulgaria have been mak
ing active preparations for war for
months and are ready to start hos
tilities. The French and British have
also brought strong reinforcements
into shape for a tremendous spring
campaign and military experts believe
that the war cannot last six months
longer.
The brokers are therefore anxious
to sell all the wheat they can while
the prices are high and the heavy un
loading yesterday and today sent
prices down. The closing quotation
yesterday on the Board of Trade was
$1.34 % a bushel.
One report, however, has it that
th6 brokers have been forcing the
market up and are now unloading on
the high market and that the high
prices of the past few weeks was a
stock job between the big wheat
brokers, who cornered a large part of
the visible supply and started a news
paper campaign to induce suckers to
-buy, expecting the raise which will
never come.
Talk of an investigation has start
ed which may result in indictments
of many members of the Board of
Trade.

TURKISH GUARDS
SENTENCED DEATH
ATHENS, Jan. 12.—The blowing jp
of the battleship Messudieh by a
British submarine, made a great Im
pression in Constantinople, as it was
considered that the Dardanelles we?e
inaccessible. On account of this fact
the commanders of the forts and of
a torpedo boat destroyer have been
held responsible.
On the third day after the disaster
a ■special court-martial, presided ov
er by high Turkish and German offi
cers, w s held to try twenty Turks
and ten Germans. Three were con
demned to death, it being held that
they had shown neglect. Less severe
sentences were passed on seventeen
others, among them some Germans.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—Delayed
advices to this government from Con
stantinople say that the Turkish of
ficials regarded the blowing up of the
battleship Messudieh as a severe loss.
The feat caused consternation in the
Turkish capital because of the fear
that more submarines would pene
trate the Dardanelles in the future.
The Turkish officials, according to
the same advices, have been much
perturbed In regard to spiees. They
assert that every time the Turkish
fleet enters the Black Sea the Rus
sians are immediately aware of tne
movement and send a stronger force
to drive the Turkish ships back in
to port.

INJEW YORK
NEW YORK, Jan. 12—More than
500,000 citizens of Greater New York
are out of employment. Many fac
tories have reduced their working
force while others are only working
part time. Charitable organizations
are doing everything possible to re
lieve the families of the unemploy
ed. The large number of jobless men,
in spite of the fact that immense
public works are under construction,
has caused much alarm among busi
ness interests as they fear conditions
will continue to grow worse. The new
subways building employ fully 100,009
laborers.
HOUSE CONSIDERS
SUFFRAGE BILL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—The
House is considering the amendment
to the Constitution to grant to wo
men the right of the ballot. The gal
leries were crowded with advocates
of equal suffrage. The speeches of
those favoring the amendment were
loudly applauded. The administra

than enough to defeat the resolution,
which requires a two-thirds vote.
