SAYS THE S00 WILL NOT GARRY GRAIN TO [llllUTH Canadian Pacific Official Denies That Thief River Falls Cut-Off Is to Be So Used. A telegram from Winnipeé to the Duluth News-Tribune says that the Canadian Pacific officials have no intention of using the proposed new Uhief River Falls-Duluth cut-off of the Soo for ihe purpose of hauling grain, altogether. Says the telegram: Winnipeg, June 17.—William Whyte, second vice president of the Canadian Pacific and chief executive of the western lines, returned today from Montreal and denied that the Thief River Falls cut-off of the Soo Line, was a shorter grain route to the lake ports,'as has been stated. The Canadian Pacific had no inten- tion of erecting elevators at Duluth and would confine its lake terminals to Fort Williams, using the Soo Line for a grain route only when the main line in Canada, which is double tracked, from Winnipeg to Fort Williams, is congested.

Chicago, June 17.—It is learned that Mrs. Mary Agnes O'Brien Rulz, whose death in London was kept a secret for four weeks through-the efforts, it is said, of Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt, whose wife, Elsie French Vanderbilt, named the Rulz woman in her suit for divorce, was formerly a Chicago ‘woman, Charlés L. O'Brien of St. Louis, a brother of Mrs, Ruiz, has started for London to investigate the suicide of his sister. Before leaving the Mis: souri metropolis he told how his sis- ter married a wealthy Californian, came to Chicago to live and, after the death of her husband, spent nearly all of the $80,000 he left her before leav- ing'Chicago to return to St. Louis, her birthplace. Mrs. Ruiz is well remembered in St. Louis, where, as a young girl, she ex- ercised such sway over the affections of the young gallants of the perlod that before she was twenty years old she had decided the town was too small for her and set out for New York with the intention of winning the heart of a millionaire.

Washington, June 17.—Opposing the provision of the tariff bill by which a restrictive amount of sugar and tobacco are to be admitted free of duty from the Philippines Senator Foster of Louisiana addressed the senate as soon as the session began. He expressed an opinion that the es- tablishment of free trade relations between the United States and the islands would destroy all hope of the independence of the Philippines. By a vote of 26 to 43 the sgnate rejected an amendment by Mr. Fletch- er that imports from the Philippines into the United States shall pay the same duty as imports from other countries except as now provided by law. Offering an amendment limiting the operation of ths propsed law for the free admission of sugar from the Phil- ippine islands to two years Senator Gore ' declared that the sugar trust ‘would be the beneficlary of free sugar. He gaid his amendment would per- mit a practical test and would demon- strate how the plan would operate. His -amendment was rejected, 25 to 43. After Mr. Dick had made another effort to prevent the free entry of to- bacco from the Phillppines the Phil- ippine free trade section, with amend- ments, was adopted by a vote of 42 to 28. Six Republicans, Senators Root, Borah, Bristow, Clapp, Crawford and La Follette voted with the Democrats against the finance committee propo- sition. HE _PREFERS RAILROADING Reason Delano Declined Diplomatic Post at Peking. Chicago, June 17.—A preference for rallroading over diplomacy, coupled with a desire to continue his work and his home in Chicago, were the reasons assigned by Frederic A. De- lano, president of the Wabash rail- road, for declining the honor con- ferred upon him by President Taft in offering him the post of minister to China. “I have mo fnclination for public life,” sald Mr. Delano, “nor do my ambitions or schooling lie in that line. I believe 1 can accomplish more where I am and in what I am trying to do for the development of railroads at home.” ALL STOCKS OPEN LOWER Trading Marked by Continuance of Pressure to Sell. New York, June 17.—Weakness marked the opening of the stock mar- ket. There was a continuance of the pressure to sell and speculators ex- hibited much disappointment over news that the United States Steel shares will probably not be listed on the Paris bourse. United States Steel shares opened a full point lower and continued to decline in the first few minutes of trading. Northern Pacific railroad shares also were weak, open- ing 13 lower. Rock Island fell 1, Amalgamated Copper 1% and Great Northern preferred 1%. EXPECT TO GET LOWER RATE Newspaper Men to Buy Print Paper in Open Market. Chicago, June 17.—Owners and pub- Nehers of daily newspapers holding membership in the Inland Press asso- clation will patronize the open market for print paper instead of getting their material by contract, under a de- cision of the association. The repre- sentative of a Canadian print paper mill asserted he would furnish paper at a figure which the representatives of rival concerns declared was lower than the cost of manufacture in the United States. STIRS DIPLOMATIC GIRGLES American Protest Against Chinese Government Loan. Berlin, June 17.—The American pro- test at Peking against the conclu- sion by the Chinese government of the loan agreement with German, British and French bankers for $27, 800,000 for the conmstruction of the Hankew-Szechuen railroad, without having given American financiers an opportunity to participate, has made a stir in diplomatic circles here and among the financial houses with Far East interests. The action of the state department is regarded unofficially in Berlin as intended to keep alive the Chinese American agreement of 1904, in or der that the present loan shall not be taken as a precedent. It is not sup- posed that Washington seeks a can- cellation of the loan contract. For- elgn Secretary von Schoen is under- stood to. have said verbally to Am- bassador Hill that the German gov- ernment had nothing to do with this loan; that it was sgolely a business agreement ‘between the bankers con- cerned and the Chinese government. The American embassy, however, de- clines to say anything about the mat- ter. MORSE RELEASED ON BAIL Convicted Banker Secures Freedom on Bond of $125,000. New York, June 17.—Charles W.

ILLINOIS PRIMARY LAW IS INVALID Third Stafute on Same Subject fo Be Knocked Out, Springfield, 1L, June 17.—The state supreme court has declared uncon- stutional the state primary election law. This is the third state primary law knocked. out by the supreme court. In the workings of the latest law objection was made to the cum- brous machinery occasioned and to the restrictions against voters’ eligi- bility to participate. Criticism was also directed against the powers granted to political party committees. There is strong feeling in Iilinois in Tavor of a direct primary act and those who are close to Governor De- neen believe that he will call a spe- clal session of the Ilegislature to frame such a statute. The law just nullified was objected to by the in- dependent voters of the state because under it if they desired to vote' at a primary they were obliged to declare fealty to one of the political parties. It was also denonstrated that voters of one pelitical party could take part in the selection of the candidates of an opposite party. Through this ac- tion of the supreme court indictments against politicians in Chicago for al- leged fraud in the primaries last Au- gust will probably fail. FIVE-YEAR-OLD ENDS LIFE Fflrrles Out Threat to Drown Him- self if Punished. Central City, Ky., June 17.—Because he was spanked by.his mother the five-year-old son of Mrs. Samuel Scott drowned himself in a well.
