CINCINNATI, Ohio, .April 15.—Return-
ing from the meeting or master bakers,
hold here, Simon Hubig of this city, pres-
ident. ot' tho National Association of
Bakers, today busied himself with sen i-
lng letters to the Ohio members of Con-
gress asking- tor the passage of legisla-
tion to forbid the cornering of wheat. Mr.
liubig said:
"The bakers throughout the country are
aroused over the corner in wheat and
will doing... CmigreRS with appeals for
legislation forbidding gambling iu tin-
necessaries of life. Five-cent bread is a
thing of the past."
In this city flour has advanced an av-
erage of about $1.50 a barrel sin<e Jan-
uary l of this year. The latest advance t.f
lo cents a barrel was made yesterday.
The text of President ILubig's letter
follows:
"Tho executive committee of the X.i.
tional Association of Baiters respectfully
calls your attention to the nefarious prac-
tice of wheat gambling at Chicago. We
believe this should be stopped at once and
prohibited in the future. Flour being ii e
one absolute necessity to keep the body
and soul together, wo deem it a crime
against the rights of the people to per-
mit wheat gambling. We respectfully
but firmly, demand of you. as our repre-
sentative, to further protect our rights in
the future against speculation or gambling
in wheat."
MAY CHARGE 7 CENTS A LOAF.
New York Bakers Are Considering
Making the Increase.
>i£\V YORK, April 16.—With Hour up
40 cents a barrel in the focal market and
the prospects apparently good tor
further rise, New York City is now
lacing tite possibility of broad at 7 cents
a. loat.
What will appear to hundreds of thous-
ands of the poor like famine prices for
all family larders bids fair to he forced
as the result in the recent rise of wheat.
The Ghetto of New York has already iu
some degree felt the effect ot the buoy-
ancy of the Chicago wheat pit. Si* cents
a loaf is the price now charged by some
bakers, while the proprietors of hun
dreds of other bakeries declare that they
cannot continue selling at T, cents much
longer, with bread and flour of the belter
grades costing from $7 to $7.20 a barrel,
against $l>.60 to $ti.sn a few days ago.
They add, moreover, that with flour per-
manently up to the rates recently quoted,
even <i cents would not give them any
sort of profit.
The influence of (lie rise In wheal on
the flour market is feared by all bakers,
large and small, and many of them do
not hesitate to predict a rising scale of
flour price, between now and Juno, in
any event. Heven-cerit bread, either
through an out-and-out advance in price,
or an equivalent shrinkage in the loaf,
seems inevitable.
HAS TWO TROUBLES.
Citizens There Face Rise in Price of
Bread and Potatoes.
NEW ORLEANS, La., April 15.—While
the jump In tho pi'icc ot flour and the
resultant cutting down in size of loaves
of baker's bread has been about tho
same in New Oilcans as everywhere else
in the country, the principal worry to
which housekeepers have been subjected
is the rise in potatoes
Several weeks ago Irish potatoes were
selling in New Orleans at a barrel.
The price has gradually crawled upward
until today they were quoted at JI.50 a
barrel, and were difficult to get at any
price. New potatoes arc quoted at J5..V)
to ?•! a barrel. Many of the Poydras
Street merchants have sent big orders to
Ireland for potatoes, and several ship-
ments have already arrived from Eng-
land.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 15.—The

sulted In the bulging In the price of
flour in Minnesota until first patents »r«
now selling at iroin W lo $t>.20 a barrel, or
about »2 a barrel more than prices that
long obtained here.
Some 'i2I> loaves can be made from a
barrel of flour, and the bakers say that,
counting labor and other expenses, they
can no more than break even at the
present cost of flour. They are consider-
ing an agreement to reduce the weight
ot the loaf to twelve ounces.
BREAD ADVANCES IN DALLAS.

DALLAS. Tex., April 1.1.—Dallas bakert;
have raised the price of bread as a result
of the continued advance in wheat prices.
Where one could formerly purchase
seven loaves of bread for a quarter, the
straight price is now 5 cents per loaf.
The Dallas bakers are paying $»>.fcO per
barrel for flour, and further advances are
expected. According to local millers
there was no change In flour quotations
today, but on the other hand there Is no
indication that there will be any decline
in wheat price, right away.
Expect Flour to Go to 97.50 a Barrel.

DISORDERS AT CONSTANTINOPLE
Most Serious Is Demonstration by
Marines, Who Object to New
Minister of Marines.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April ]Y -The
third day of the revolutionary rising in
the capital was marked by some disor-
ders, tho most serious of which was a
demonstration by marines, who objected
to the new Minister of Marine, Vice Ad-
miral Adjiornin Pasha. The marines
gathered in force and seized and took
to the palace Ar<r Bev, 'ommauder of
the battleship A .-<<1 I Vcwfik, a mem-
ber of the commit *.ee of u >n ; ml pr'og.
• ess, . who had th; gu»-s ot his ship
11 lined on the Viehliz Kiosk when tho
lisiug was al it® height with the inten-
tion of supporting the committee. Ar-
riving at. the Yleldiz Kiosk, t he men
lynched Arif Bey, notwithstanding the
efforts of palace guards to save him.
Although public confidence is by no
means restored by tin* formation of a
new Cabinet, a good Impression ha* been
produced by tho appointment of Nazlm
I'aaha as commander of the First Army
Corps, and this has been strengthened
by the nomination of Nemduh Pasha,
mother able Adrianople officer, to com-
mand the first division at Constanti-
nople.
Porte circles arc extremely disquieted
by news from galoniki and Monasti.
where the influence ol the committee of
union and progress is strong. Officers
of the Porte have received telegrams
from these sections demanding the re-
establishment of the status quo. failing
which the committee leaders threaten
to march on Constantinople with tho
entire Second Army Corps with a view
to co-operation. The latter corps, how-
ever, recently opposed the committee.
The impression prevails here that th»
Third Army Corps is ignorant of the
real object of Tuesday's rMug. and may
desist trout its watlike intentions when
it realizes that the Parliament and the
constitution have been maintained.
The first news from Marsina was hap-
pily exaggerated. ICarly advices stated
that a massacre <>f Armenians was in
progress in that place, which is on the
Mediterranean. The disturbance, in re-
ality, occurred at Adena, which is about
thirty-six miles from Marsfna. Only ten
Armenians were killed. Martial law has
been proclaimed there and the reinforce-
ments of troops are being dispatched
from Beiruth.
The number of deaths from disturb-
ances ot the last few days has not been
ascertained, but is believed to be com-
paratively small.
A strange, but significant session of the
Chamber was held today it should be
remembered that the Turkish Parliament
contains a majority representing tho
Young Turk party. Vait only 188 members
responded to the summons, and this num-
ber was not. sufficient to form a quorum.
The new president. Ismail Keirial Bey,
proposed that the Chamber hold a short
Secret session. This was stormy and it.
was finally voted that a proclamation be
spr
that the House takes into consideration
the claims of the Ottoman soldiers and
grants amnesty, and furthermore that it
had resolved to continue, putting aside all
spirit of political devotion, and devoting
its life to the welfare of the country. The
chairman agreed to issue assurances to
the various constituencies that order
would be restored and the constitution
maintained.
The whole attitude of the Chamber to-
dav indicated its s^risc of defeat and lost
influence.

Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex , April J."..-In a special
message to tho Legislature submitted to-
day Governor Campbell recommends tho
enactment of a law creating a tubercu-
losis commission, tho purpose of which
shall be to gather statistics auent tho
disease in this .State and to deviso a
plan of relieving existing conditions. He
suggests that two years hence the
Thirty-second Legislature may take some
action in this line as a result of the in-
formation made-available by the proposed
commission.
Governor Campbell recently vetoed a
bill providing for the establishment of a
State sanitarium for the treatment of in-
digent consumptives, assigning as his
reasons that the method ot caring for
the sufferers was impracticable iu that
not more than 20a could be treated at a
time in his opinion.
Statistics Already Available.
This bill grew onl. of a clamor from
over the State for relief, the Statu Medi-
cal Association taking an active hand iu
urging enactment ol the law providing
for tin State sanitarium. The State
Health Officer presented statistics
enough to swamp the public health com-
missions of tho legislators. Criticism of
the Governor's action in decapitating the
measure after both branches of the Leg-
islature had silted the matter to the bot-
tom was unsparing. Now tho chief exec-
utive hastens forward with a recommen-
dation to create new offices to gather in-
formation on how many consumptives are
dying in Texas, shown to be a year
by his own Health Officer; how many
ljave it in Ms incipient stage and now
many arc going to have it. Relief cannot
come for two years, according to the rec-
ommendation, when 10,000 more consump-
tives may be dead. The question is
whether or not tho commission created
will be able to cope with the situation
any better with the information it lias
then than could the l.egislaturo with the
deluge of data now at hand.
Today's message paves the way for the
introduction of more local school district
and court hills; for tho reimbursement of
the permanent school funds, where im-
paired; to amend the statute regulating
teachers' certificates; to require rail-
roads to provide more comfortable depot
quarters for passengers, and to amend
the game laws, the measure hi tho last
session being vetoed because of errors.
Would Extend State Railroad.
As the eleventh recommendation the
Governor submits the proposition to com-
plete and extend the State railroad, now
constructed from Rusk to a point a mile
or two from Palestine. A bill lias been
introduced in the House on this subject
and today received a favorable report
from the House Committee on Peniten-
tlarier The bill provides for the issu-
ance of bonds in tiie sum of to
be. purchased by the permanent school
fund, for promoting the enterprise, after
$150,000 shall have been employed to re-
deem the bonds issued under tho act of
the Thirtieth Legislature, from which the
pioposltion originated.
The Penitentiary Commissioners are
authorized to extend the road I0»> miles
to connection with other lines, the board
being unhampered as to the direction or
route of the proposed addition.
The purpose of this recommendation,
viewed in tho light of the motive that in-
spired tho original proposition, is con-
sidered bv some to he somewhat of a
puzzle. The State Railroad was projected
as an aid to the iron, industry at Rusk
penitentiary, and the road has been con-
structed almost to Palestine. Tt is repre-
sented to be a success, but tho fact re-
mains that the iron industry at Rusk has
been closed and the penitentiary itself
virtually abandoned.
There has been considerable agitation
regarding the reopening of the iron plant,

Scorching Sermon Is Read to the Teias
Lawmakers in Address by the
Lecturer Before an Open
Session of the Noise.
Daily l lxpress Austin Bureau.
AtJHTIN, Tex., April 15.—Telling them
that nothing is politically right that ia
morally wrong, tho inombers of the
Thirty-first Legislature heard a scorch-
ing sermon today by ex-Governor Glenn
of North Carolina that will stay with
some of them always. Declaring that ho
is now a sort of lay preacher and out of
politics, ho proceeded to rake the legis-
lators over tho coals for failing to submit
tho prohibition issue to a vote of the
people, and drove his argument home Iri
scathing them for holding a session on
Kaster Sunday. He condemned such a
in-each of (Sou's laws for the purpose of
making man's laws.
The address was before an open session
of the House, with possibly a third of the
Senate present. In addition to the legis-
lators some two hundred outsiders occu-
pied seats oil the floor of the house. He-
ing an informal occasion, the North Caro-
linian did not hesitate to launch into a.
discussion of the prohibition question. He
told anecdotes, and his humor captivated
the audience. His remarks on I ho alleged
benefits ot "going dry'' were frequently
applauded.
Christ Spirit Lacking.
"If the Christ spirit had been iu the
members of the Legislature ol Texas it
would havo complied with the demand of
tho people on tno submission question,"
said lie.
Governor Campbell, who, with Lieut.
Gov. Davidson, Speaker Mnrsball and
Rcoreaentativt: H.jston occupied tho
Speaker's stand with ex-Governor Glenn,
applauded this remark heartily, as did
others.
Mr. Glenn arrived in Austin last even-
ing after yesterday's session of the House
had ended. For that reason it was not
known until a short time before 10 o'clock
this morning that the visitor would con-
sent to address tho Legislature. The
audience was not as large, therefore, as
it might have been.
At 10 o'clock ex-Governor Glenn, es-
corted by Representatives Ralston and
Vaughan, followed by Governor ("amp-
bell, accompanied by Representatives l*ee
and Maxwell, arrived at the bar of tho
House.
Iti introducing tho speaker Speaker
Marshall said that ex-Governor Glenn is
now touring Texas "disseminating infor-
mation and learning what he can of our
great State."
As lie launched into his address the
former chief executive of the Tar Heel
State said that had the Texas Legislature
kept up with his history during the last
few months he doubted very much
whether it would have extended him an
invitation to speak. "I'm a kind of lay*
preacher," said he. "out of politics, and
doing what i can for tho uplift of
humanity.
"f appreciate very deeply the. honor to
bo hero and address you, but I believe f
would not have accepted the invitation
except for what I have read in the dailv
newspapers to the effect that f had cast
a reflection on you in my speech at San
Antonio. I therefore come before the bar
of tho House, with charges against me—
to be tried by a jury of iny peers."
lie here informed the members present
that they "are politicians in the embryo
state if you believe everything you see in
the newspapers."
He retraced the steps taken in h?»
speech at San Antonio and interpreted
his sayings. "I said," said lie, "that
there seemed to be friction between two
co-ordinate branches of your State gov-
ernment—between the executive and (he
legislative. I simply referred to this as a
lamentable thing T said that 1. regretted
