Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft. however, it is said, will meet shortly after the colonel's arrival.

T!le private set tlement of Theodofe H. Waterman's "squoese" In May wheat today caused a remarkable decline in prices. The unloading of. eight million bushels of September wheat by James A. and Qetuge W. pattgn and mi? an nouncement of their withdraws I from brokerage firm of which tkey have been members for a generation and also their retirement, at least temporarily, from business. came co incidentally. Their retirement is ef fective July l. The net decline in prices ranged from { 1-2 cents In September to more than 5 cents in May wheat. Altogether the day in .wheat w$f one destined to take rank with other momentous periods of the history of the Chicago board of trade. Putten Still Smiling. James A. Patten left his office to day wearing a smile. In his automo bile he had leisure to read head lines estimating his losses at anywhere be tween 1640.000 to $1,200,000 for the day. Asked if he had anything to say about the ? market, Ihe speculator] laughed and said: "Just say T don't know anything about the market." Mr. Patten admitted that he had eome out second best In a contest with the bears. "Not many men could take It like that" remarked an admiring Junior partner of the firm. ? I The staluR of neither the May nor. the September options, despite to day's development^ Is understood with certainty. As to Patten, it Is no't known whether he and his brother George have disposed of all of their September holdings or still have a considerable amount awaiting a more steadier rahrket. Tradera are assured that: Theodore H. Waterman, the Al bany miller, has carried his deal i through to n successful conclusion and forced the leading short Interest i to settle with him at his own price. I generally believed to have fceen around |1.14. Any effort to guage his profits, however. Is futile. A. J. Llchstem is said to Have been the leading short In this option, but chiefly as agent for a big elevator concern. Several cargoes of actual wheat were delivered to Waterman during the last ten days In an endeavor to break the market. The latter bent, but did not break. That a settlement had been effected became known to day when cargo No. l northern wheat consigned to Chicago for delivery to Waterman had 1>een diverted to Bqffalo. The extreme declines today were 5 7-8 eents in May and 5 cents in Sep-v tember. The . -London, May 27, ?

Mr. | Brandela opened the argument to day, occupying about two hours !n summarizing the principal facts brought out during the hearings which show, ho declared. Mr. Bellin ger's disregard for the people's Inter ior his Jurisdiction and his unfitness for the office he holds. On the other hand, he coftended, Mr. Glavis, who has been a competent and faithful public servant has been dismissed from public office without a hearing, or a knowledge of the evidence on which action was taken against him.

C. * No action ed. and these must be subject of se vere criticism. The direct and ultimate issue re quiring decision from the committee was "Is the department of the in terior In safe hands? Has the con duct and the associations of Mr. Bal linger "been such; are his character and his conceptions such that he ma y bo safely continued as a trustee of our vast public domain?" That Mr. Ballinger does not meet the required tests, Mr. Brandels maintained, had been conclusively es tablished, and If this was true (he de partment of the interior should be under other guidance. That he was subject to far severor criticisms he firmly believed. Mr. Brandels continued by giving a chronological resume of the Alaska coal land situation and Glavto' con nection with it. He laid partioular stress upon the fact that Mr. Ballin ger,- as commissioner of the genoral land office, was fully acquainted with It. He pointed out that the Cun riatmsntp nrr flncreUrv Ral linger'a personal and political friends and that they are powerful and Influ ential. "Was It a coincidence." he asked, "that the investigation by Special Agent Jones in the summer of 1907 was stopped shortly after Secretary Ballinger went to Seattle, shortly af ter the malting of the agreement be tween the Morgan-Guggenheim syn dicate and the Cunningham claim ants?"

Mr. Thomas characterized General Greene as next to Washington, the most po tent force in the American struggle for Independence, and said the statue would link the people of New Eng land and the South.
