AKERS ORGAN TO BUY FLOUR © —_—_—_— ‘ FLOUR BUYING SYNDICATE OF QUARTER MILLION CAPITAL FORMED. ee BELIEVE SAVING CAN BE MADE Central Headquarters for United States to be in Minneapolis, with C. H. Prior, Former Milwaukee Head, As President. Minneapolis, July 9.—Minneapolis is to be the center of the greatest single flour buying concern in the world—a syndicate which will purchase for all the large bakery concerns of America, representatives of which met in the city and subscribed to the constitution and by-laws and articles of incorpora- tion. C. H. Prior, former president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail- road, will be president of the new corporation, whieh will be capitalized at $225,000; John Leaby will be vice president; George Hawkins, also of Minneapolis, former confidential ad- visor to Henry Little ‘and connected with the Washburn-Crosby company for 14 years, will be general manager. Central Headquarters Here. Central headquarters will be opened in the Flour Exchange within a fort- night and branches will be established at Louisville, which is the center of the spring wheat milling industry, Cin- cinnati, Toledo, Baltimore, Chicago and San Francisco, Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, Kansas City | and other points. It is the purpose of the corporation, ‘the official title of which is to be se- lected today, to secure for its stock- holders the advantage of bottom mar- ket prices through purchase in large quantity. As conditions now are bak- ers buy haphazard and, it is said, fre- quently pay as high a price, though they buy in fair quantity, as retailers. How Will Millers Like It? Bakers assert that the National Bis- cuit company, which is perhaps the largest single buyer of flour in the country, purchases in 100 to 200 car- load lots on open bids for stated grades and saves from 15 to 40 cents a barrel. Twenty-five bakers in Minneapolis .| buy from two to ten cars of flour ata time and have agreed to ally them- selves with the new purchasing syndi- cate. STANDARD OIL DAIRYMAN, “| New Process of Manufacturing Butter From Petroleum. New York, July 9—The Standard Oil Company has decided to drive the cow and the dairyman out of busi- ness. Its skilled chemists have dis- | covered a process whereby they can || make gilt-edged butter as a by-product of crude petroleum. If reports are i/true, plans have been prepared and || contracts soon are to be let for the || erection of a big butter-making plant '!as a new department of the Standard ; Oil works at Bayonne, N. J. ; Since the new process was discov- Per every precaution possible has een taken by Standard Oil officials to prevent the secret leaking out, and it was only by accident that it became public. The butter, cream, sweet milk, buttermilk and cottage cheese markets soon are to be dominated by Standard Oil. None of the officials, chemists or employees of the Standard Oil Com- pany will admit that the company oon was to invade the dairy-product ‘| field. CABINET NEARLY HITS ADEE. Second Assistant Secretary of State Has Narrow Escape from Injury. Washington, July 9.—Alvey A. Adee, second assistant secretary of state, narrowly escaped serious injury yes- terday in the basement of the state department building, when a section of a large filing cabinet which was be- ing installed by workmen on the third floor fell through an open shaft formed by the circular stairway directly above a spot where Mr. Adee stood convers- ing with several other government of- ficials.. Their lives were probably saved by the timely warning shrieked out by a workman. SEEKS NORTHWEST BUILDINGS. Steenerson Wants Appropriations for Moorhead and Bemidji. Washington, July 9—Representative Steenerson today introduced bills pro- viding for a $50,000 public building at Moorhead and $60,000 for a site and building at Bemidji. SANDBAGS WIFE; KILLS SELF. Man Has Quart of Poison, Rifle and Rope to Make Suicide Sure. St. Louis, Mo., July 9.—Supposedly insane from an old injury, Gustave Krause killed himself with a rifie in his home early today, after tying his 9-year-old son to a bedstead and beat- ing Mrs. Krause with a sandbag and brass knuckles. In addition, Krause carried two half pints of crude car- bolic acid, a rifle and a clothes line when he erept up to where his wife @nd son were sleeping. —-- REVOLUTION PERIODICAL DISTURBANCE COM. IN SOUTH AMERICA. Political Parties in State of Chaos and Risings Are in i Progress. Panama, July 9.—Mail advices re- ceived from Columbia report a very critical condition of affairs in that re- public. As the result of the departure of President Reyes for Europe, the various political parties, which a few months ago seemed to be united, are now completely disorganized and there are indications that Columbia is on the verge of a great revolution. The movement on July 4 at Barran- quilla was successful, the revolution- ists capturing the forts, the Magdalena river boats and the custom houses. At first it was believed that the movement was headed by a coalition of Conservatives and Liberals, but it is now learned that the Liberals re- fused to join in the rising, which was engineered by the ultra-Conservatives. There is a rumor here that certain influential Columbians are publicly in favor of following Panama’s example and constituting a new republic to be formed of the departments of Caucau and Antioquia and a part of Bolivar. It is considered probable that congress will not be convened on July 20 as in- tended, as it would probably elect a successor to President Reyes, who, under the existing circumstances, will not be likely to satisfy all parties, and the desire of President Holgium and his advisers is to do nothing that would further develop political pas- sions.

Clergyman Declares Church Has No Policy on Existing Problems. Troy, N. Y., July 9.—Rev. Loomis O. Black, pastor of the First Universalist church and one of the most popular clergymen of Troy, has surprised his congregation by his announcement that he will retire from the ministry Aug. 1 to devote his time to socialistic work. An offer of double his salary failed to swerve him from his purpose. He says he never again will occupy a pulpit as a pastor. “I have been brought to take this step by the fact that the church has no definite policy,” said Mr. Black, “nor does it desire to have any on the problems before the country today. “The church has absolutely no de- sire to wield any influence to heip the common people get fair play. It is not back of any organization cf men to get their rights. The moneyed classes control the attitude of the church toward any problem.” McCLEARY FOR MINT DIRECTOR. His Nomination Expected Before the Close of Session. Washington, July 9.—There are strong indications that James T. Mc- Cleary, of Minnesota, former represen- tative in congress and later assistant postmaster-general, will be appointed director of the mint, succeeding Frank Leach, who has resigned to accept a business position in California. Mr. McCleary, who is now out of the city, is known to be the choice of Secretary McVeagh and presumably of the president and his nomination is expected before the expiration of the present session of congress.
