G Crothers, 713 Beltrami Ave. | sets forth in detail reasons why the Canadian agreement would insure greater stability in prices and not result in reductions as alleged by Northwestern representatives -who have criticised the arrangement nego- tlated with the Ottawa government by President Taft. It is pointed out that under present conditions Canada’s surplus of grain is dumped at Liverpool, affecting prices at that point, which, in part, regulates the prices of the world. The admission of wheat to the United States duty free, it is argued, would result in more equitable distribution of the product and prevent the “dump- ing” at Liverpool, which now at times is felt by wheat producers the world over. The statement, in part, follows: Won't Disturb Farm Prices. “The fear that the free admission Into the United States of wheat and other grain products of Canada may prove disastrous to the farm value of grains in the West and Northwest, will disappear’ when the conditions that really regulate the prices of wheat and other grains are given thoughtful consideration. The facili- ties for tramsportation, and the cost thereof, are not such as will give gen- eral distribution in the United States of Canada’s surplus grain crops. “A considerable portion will indeed pass through the large markets and centers of accumulation in the United States, by means of which the rail- road, elevator and milling interests will be benefited through 'the in- creased business thus afforded. But the farm prices in the United States, on which the American farmer will cen- ter his attention, will be but little if any disturbed. This price will foliow the trend of the world's grain prices in future just as it has in the past.” LONDON PAPERS SHED TEARS Some Regard Reciprocity as Death Knell of Imperial Federation. London, Jan. 31.—Many of the Lon- don papers, especlally those favoring i tariff reform, see in the proposal for tariff reciprocity between Canada and the United States the first'step to- ward a political union of the two North American countries. They print long jeremaids saying the end of the imperial federation is In sight and that the desertion of Canada means the breakdown of the entire combination. In this connection the Daily Mail says: “The imperial preference, of which Canada is the cornerstone, is dead.” The Mail continues: “Herein lies the root of the danger which the imperial federation has to face. Without Can- ada there can be mo imperial pref- erence, but the breach in the federal fabric is not past mending.” Say Poison Killed Couple. Cumberland, Md., Jan. 31.—That cyanide poisoning and not gas caused the deaths of Miss Grace Elosser and Charles E. Twigg was the unanimous opinion of Doctors Koon, Harrington. Foard and Broadup, who are making autopsies over the bodies of the young couple. May Elosser, =ister of the dead girl, said: “The gas theory, I hope, will turn this horrible suspicion from me.” Hunter Accused of Manslaughter. Houghton, Mich., Jan. 31.—John An- derson, it is charged, shot Charles Carlson last November during the deer season near Root Jack point, ten miles from Houghton. Carlson died instantly. Anderson, it is said, took him for a bear. Now Carlson’s brother has had Anderson arrested on a charge of manslaughter and alleges he has discovered new evidence. Baron Works as Laborer.

YEGGMEN ROB TWO SAFES Secure $1,080 in Minneapolis and | Make Their Escape. Minneapolis, Jan. 31.—Yeggmen cracked two safes in this city, obtaining $800 at the Dewey the- ater and $280 from the offices of John H. Constantine, a contractor and builder.

The nitro- glycerin tore open the safe and dam- aged the Interior of the playhouse. The offices of Mr. Constantine, di- rectly across the street, were. opened with skeleton keys.

I got one continuance and hurried up to burn all that coal and hide the evi- dence. Then came the day of my trial. That roarin’ lawyer went up and whis- pered to the judge. Then he came back and whispered to me: “ ‘You better send that coal back or you'll go to jail. Kansas City Star. the direction of fthe administration,|. TIDAL WAVE IN PHILIPPINES Rising Waters Follow Vol- canic-Eruption. SCORE OF NATIVES LOST| Caught by Flood Resulting From Dis turbance, Which Carried Away the Bamboo Shacks Used as Homes, Observatory Authorities Say Manila Is in No Danger, but Filipino Resi- dents Are Alarmed. . Manila, Jan. 31.—Twenty persons, all natives, lost their lives in the tidal wave which followed the eruption of the volcano Taal, according to press advices received here. All the towns within a radius of ful- ly twenty miles have suffered damage from the rain of mud and stones, which still continues. The natives in all directions are abandoning their villages and fleeing to the hills in ter ror. The eruptions continue. The sky is cloudless and there is no wind, but the muddy rain falls steadily. The na- tives have abandoned their village homes in the vicinity of Lake Taal and sought refuge in the surrounding hills. Mount Taal rises in the center of Lake Taal, a body of water not more than fifteen miles in circumference. It is thirty-four miles from this city, from which dense clouds of smoke rising from the crater are plainly visible. | The observatory authorities believe that Manila is in no danger, but there is some alarm among the natives, who recall the destruction caused by Mount Mayon, the other volcano of Luzon, in 1897. So far, however, Mayon has shown no threatening disturbances. Tidal Wave Is Destructive. Investigators of the bureau of sci-| ence report that with the first violent eruption of Taal on Saturday the vol-| canic island appeared to sink five feet and the waters of the lake, rising, swept the shores a mile inland, car: rying away the bamboo shacks and catching a score of natives. Others living In the vicinity had taken warn- ing and fled at the first rumblings of the volcano. The towns of Taal, Lo- mery and Palisay seem to have suf- fered most. Mount Taal rises 1,050 feet from the center of Lake Taal, province of Ba- tangas, Luzon. It is the second vol- cano in importance in Luzon and has experienced eight violent disturbances preceding the present one since 1709. It has been more or less active from time immemorable. Its most destruc- tive eruptions occurred in 1734 and continued for a period of six months, causing much loss of life and enormous destruction of property. There were less serious outbreaks in 1808 and 1873, Later reports say it is feared that 300 natives lost their lives in the tidal wave which followed the eruption of the volcano Taal. An American school teacher, who has traversed the west shore of the lake, places the fa- talities at this number. He says five small villages were destroyed and that many persons perished in fires started by molten masses. CARRIE NATION VERY LOW Death of “Saloon Smasher” Said to Be Imminent. Eureks Springs, Ark., Jan. 31.—Mrs. Carrie Nation, who, became known throughout the country several years ago becanse of her fondness for smashing saloons, is reported to be sinking rapidly, and her death is said to be imminent. Mrs. Nation suffered a nervous coi- lapse here a fortnight ago and recent- ly was taken to a private sanatorium near Leavenworth, Kan. MILL CITY RATE CASE UP Interstate Commissioners Also to Consider Wisconsin Complaint. Chicago, Jan. 31.—Three separate Interstate commerce cases were on hearing here—the Minneapolis rate case, before Commissioner Clark, the Wisconsin rate case before Speclal Examiner Burchmore and the Tap line case before Commissioner Harlan. The tap line hearing has been on for some time and is considered to be one of the most important ever under- taken by the commission. It involves rates and rights on special lines built by lumber and mining companies for their own special purposes. MANY SANE IN ASYLUMS Sweeping Reform in Federal Examina- tions Contemplated. ‘Washington, Jan. 31.—Many sane persons are being received in the gov- ernment hospital for the insane, ac- cording to members of the committee appointed recently by Secretary of the Interior Ballinger to investigate conditions at the institution. A radical change in the method of handling insanity cases, it is said, will be recommended to congress, the pres- ent system of examining alleged in- sane persons in the United States courts being characterised by ‘the committee as “archaic and unjust.” Flood Feared at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Jan. 31.—With the Monon- gahela and Allegheny rivers rapidly rising and the-flood stage of twenty- two feet expected shortly, river men are working frantically to prepare {ngainst what is expected to be one of the most disastrous floods in this sec- tion in recent years.
