Remains of Lord Strathcona Buried in England, London, Jan. 27.—Marked for its simplicity the funeral of the late Lord Strathcona was held in Westminster abbey. There was a lack of pomp andj} display in the private service at the home, the public reading of the rit- ual at the abbey and the interment at Highgate, but many of the empire’s greatest nobles attended. The cor- tege consisted of the open hearse and only twenty carriages. It was not a military funeral and few uniforms were to be seen in the throngs that filled the abbey to _ overflowing. Among those in attendance were rep- resentatives of King George, Queen | Mary and Queen Mother Alexandra, several minor members of the royal family, Premier Asquith, members of the cabinet, Ambassador Page, the Page family and almost the entire diplomatic corps.

Secretary Lane Explains Goy- ernment Plans. | i} ‘TAKE SHARE OF PRODUCT | | Would Permit Prospectors to Work | Certain Areas With the Under: | standing That Uncle Sam Get a_ Percentage of the Mineral Found. | | Washington, Jan. 27.—Secretary | | Lane told the house mines committee | | that congress should break up the| | “monopoly that keeps radium at a} | fabulously prohibitive price,” and en-| | act legislation to put the curative) | mineral on the market cheaply for | large numbers of sufferers. j Secretary Lane declared it was the government’s duty to get all the ra- | dium it could. | He combatted arguments against | withdrawal of lands, saying there was | no intention of setting aside a vast | area, nor to lock up the minerals or lands indefinitely, but simply to get | radium out for public use where it would not be in the hands of a mo- nopoly. H Secretary Lane’s proposal was to divide a certain area into tracts of 360 acres, allow exclusivve licenses to prospect and if a prospector found | radium to allow him to all the al rights except that the government would take 20 or 25 per cent of the radium obtained. He would also have the government have absolute contro] over a certain definite area for the development of radium on its own initiative. “I believe that we should not be confined to developing the ores on any single withdrawn area,” said Sec- retary Lane. “We should say to all the prospectors in the West: ‘Go out | and find these ores, the government | will buy the ore from you at a reason- able compensatory price and will re-| duce the ores itself.’ Thus we would | have all of the radium ores that might be discovered at our service.” UNDERGOING NATURAL DECAY President Wilson’s View of the Huer- , ta Government. Washington, Jan. 27.—President Wilson characterized as “interesting fiction” published reports that orders had been sent to Rear Admiral Flet- cher to land marines at Vera Cruz and keep open the road to Mexico City in case the Huerta administra- tion collapsed. From the White House point of view the situation in Mexico is changing slowly and the) Huerta government is undergoing a/ | “natural decay.” | There is no particular development | or critical situation in the Mexican/ problem or any other foreign question, | | the president explained, which has | caused him to call the senate foreign | | relations committee into conference. | | A general consultation on foreign affairs was the reason given for the! meeting, the president making it plain} | that although he had tried to keep in| | touch with the committee heretofore | he would be able now to give a rather) | systematic attention to foreign rela-| | tions. | ST. PAUL GRAFT TRIALS ON) Former Police Chief and Detective | Face Jury. St. Paul, Jan. 27.—The jury has been completed in the trial of Martin J. Flanagan, former chief of police,| ; and Fred Turner, former city detec-| tive, jointly indicted by the grand! jury on a charge of bribery in the third degree, the indictment alleging that the two defendants, together with Mae Burke, who has asked for a separate trial, on March 20, 1913, received $1,000 from Dottie Hazzard, a former resortkeeper, for police pro- tection for a resort about to be open- ed. Judge P. W. Morrison of Norwood, Minn., who has been asked to assist in the trial of criminal cases in this district, is presiding in the alleged graft cases. NO OFFER TO GOETHALS YET President Cannot Settle Canal Zone Governorship at Present. Washington, Jan. 27.—President | Wilson has not yet directly offered to Colonel Goethals the civil governor- ship of the canal zone and cannot | do so until he issues an executive order for a permanent government of the zone. The president has intended to ap point Colonel Goethals and the colo nel has for some time been informal ly apprised of that intention. Secre- tary Garrison on his recent visit tc Panama is understood to have in- | formed Colonel Goethals. | Vessel Lost, Sailors Saved, | Halifax, N.

Washington, Jan. 27—Nothing in| President Wilson’s trust program | against holding companies will be in-| | tended to bar anything “that is not in| nature and spirit a monopoly.” President Wilson indicated this when discussing the situation it was pointed out that a sweeping prohibi- tion of holding companies would nat- urally affect concerns which had been required to organize subsidiary com- | panies to comply with certain state laws. The president let it be known that where such a business was being car- ried on by practically the same cor-| poration there would be no restriction | on it. He emphasized as the governing | principle in the whole question that | corporations organized and merged with others for purposes of monopoly or restraint of trade would be clearly | barred and that those which obviously | did not interfere with interstate com- | merce would be let alone. The purpose of the administration | would be, the president declared, to let things grow that grow naturally and legitimately. With respect to the proposed inter- | state trade commission the president | cleared up various impressions of it) | by saying it would not be an adminis- | trative body but one of publicity and | information. | He said it would have no possible | conflict with any other department of | | the government because it would not | have the right to act in the field of | any other constituted authority. SEES SOME STRANGE THINGS | Army Surgeon Reports on Discoveries in China. Washington, Jan. 27.—Major F. M. Ashburn of the army medical corps has unearthed some strange things in China as the result of his studies in tropical diseases. He reports to the war department that he found three giants, each about eight feet high. One of them “had a harsh, resonant, deep bass voice, such as I have never heard before.” | Many baldheaded women also at-| tracted the major’s attention and these women attempted to hide their} baldness “by the use of black paint or stain, which merely looks dirty.” Major Ashburn discovered that the by the Chinese women to such an ex- cess as sometimes to necessitate the | amputation of the foot. NUMBER OF LIVES ARE LOST) Storm Sweeps Northern New England and Nova Scotia. Boston, Jan. 27.—Reports from along the New England coast indi- cate! that the storm which has been sweeping Northern New England and Nova Scotia cost four lives, separat- ed more than 100 men from their) ships and in several places resulted in heavy money losses. The schoon- ers Pontiac and James Munson lost a man each and the schooner Alice Cheshire cannot account for two of her crew. The fishing schooner Bay State sailed into Gloucester badly damaged.

Washington, Jan. 27.—Charges that the proposed increased freight rates on petroleum which the Eastern rail- merce commission to authorize would discriminate heavily against inde- pendent refineries in favor of the Standard Oil company were made at a hearing of shippers by F. W. Boltz, trafic manager of the National Pe- troleum association, an organization of forty-odd oil companies. Boltz testified that the railroads had made no attempt to put through a horizontal increase of 5 per cent— the degree of advance for which they are applying—but that the tariffs they were asking the commission to ap- prove contained increases varying from 2 per cent to 19 per cent. Scores of shippers and their law- yers prepared to protest against any increase were present at the first hearing of a series which will con- tinue more than a month. Shelby Cullom No Better.

Former Partner of Tammany Chief Faces Graft Accusations. This is James E. Gaffney, former partner of Boss Murphy in the con- tracting business. Sulzer has testi- fied that his exclusion of Gaffney from canal contracts caused the governor's impeachment. Jim Stewart, a $3,000,- 900 canal contractor, has testified that a “James E. Gaffney” demanded a $150,000 gift from him. United States Senator O’Gorman was counsel for Stewart and, according to Sulzer, went to Boss Murphy when his client was held up and induced Murphy to call off Gaffney. Harry B. Hanger, who had “trouble” over his $3,492,- 511 ‘contract on the aqueduct, has tes- tified that he paid Gaffney $30,000 for “advice.” The payment was made in currency. He had no further “trou- ble” and said the $30,000 was well spent. RADIUM RUSH IS EXPECTED Prospectors Preparing to Seek For- tunes in Colorado.
