Secretary of Interior Denies Reports
of Contaminated Rehignation

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Secretary
Hitchcock has returned from ST. Louis,
where he was called by the serious i'll
ness and subsequent death Of his BROTHER.
He denied that he had any intention Of
resigning his cabinet portfolio or ever had
contemplated retiring. He refused to dis
cuss the reports to that effect that have
been current beyond characterizing them
as without foundation.
He replied in the negative when asked
If he might not find it necessary to re-

ties that had formerly developed upon his
deceased brother in directing their private
business in the West.

LOOKS FOR LARGE INCREASE.
James s. Bell Thinks Milling In
dustry In It's Infancy.

James S. Bell. president of the Wash
burn-Crosby company, returned Sunday
from a trip to Egypt and Southern Eu-
rope. Mr.. Bell is of the opinion that
the American milling industry is just in
it's infancy. The willingness of the
American miller to handle the business
on a small margin will be the principal
thing that will enable him to reach all
parts of the globe with his product.
Mr.. Bell thinks in the next ten years.
with reasonable legislation by congress,
and fair trea tment from transportation
companies, the business will show
large increase. The improvement in
steamship service from American ports
to new points across the Atlantic will be
a valuable aid. He says the American
tourist is a great factor in introducing
American goods; they create a demand
eigner to carry stock of American
goods. Every year sees a big increase
in tourists, and their work is Invaluable
