men visited the Walter home during
this period.
Last Thursday night Mrs. Walter
took apartments at the Hotel st.
Nicholas.

holdings both in San Francisco and Los
Angeles and besides praying for a di-

years will probably see the exhaustion
of the worlds present iron ore re-
sources, according to DR.. c. Kenneth
Leith, professor of geology in the Uni

iron plants of the country.
'It is proba BILE that the entry of low
grade ores into the iron industry will
have the effect of bringing the fur
naces nearer the base of supply" said
DIR. Leith, land this means the removal
of the iron centers from Pittsburg and
other eastern points to Chicago and
points farther west There are deposits
of low-grade ore in Colorado and Wy

Statement by James McCrea, First
Vice President of PennsyI-
vania Company
BY Associated Press.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 10.-James Nc
Crea, first vice president of the Penn
sylvania company, operating the lines
of the Pennsylvania system west of
Pittsburg, made a statement today to
the Associated Press denying the
charges contained in the letter of Gov
ernor Dawson of West Virginia to Sen
ator Tillman, which was read in the
United States senate Monday.
Mr.. McCrea said:
"The Pennsylvania railroad Is not
and never has been an owner or miner
of bituminous coal, either directly or
indirectly and therefore could not have
influenced West Virginia roads, in
which it is interested, to suppress de-
velopment of that state to protect it's
own coal interests. Certainly there
has been no prompting on the part of
the Pennsylvania company in regard
to the Red Rock case, or any other
similar case"

Immediately to call off the boycott.
Then. according to Hongkong papers
Mr.. Bryan appeared, was entertained
by the Chinese merchants at a dinner
and declared in a speech that the
American people would never consent
to a repeal of the exclusion laws. One
of the Chinese merchants at the dinner
reported the proceedings to the Chinese
papers. He quoted Mr.. Bryan as de-

not been able to draw from the Ameri

support of the policy which he would
insist upon as the only condition on

drawn.
after Mr.. Bryans speech the
Chinese merchants became convinced
that congress would not adopt the
changes recommended by the American
merchants and that their best policy
was to put on the boycott screws

ing Seven Millions, Takes
the Water
By Associated Press

PORTSMOUTH, Eng, Feb. 10.-The
monster battleship Dreadnaught,
which, when finished, will have cost
$7,50OO00 was launched here today by
King Edward.
The ceremony was the most simple
possible, the king having vetoed all
decorations and pageantry on account
of the death of his father-in-law, King
Christian. There was moment OF
suspense after the king touched the
electric button removing the last block,
as the huge ship hesitated and ap-
peared reluctant to take the water.
But ultimately she glided down the
ways in safety. Among the occupants
of the royal stand were the American
naval attache, Lieutenant Commander
John H. Gibbons, and other attaches:
the admiralty officials and few privi-
legged persons.

who will receive their diplomas, yet
are in the aggregate below those who
