LIKES BIG FAMILIES.
New Swedish Minister Talks of I'm
migration to Canada

LAKE GEORGE, y. Y. August 13.-The
new minister from Sweden, Mr. Herman de
Lagercrantz, said yesterday:
Il approve of large families. To my
mind il indicates the morality of a coun-
try. Your President thinks correctly. One
of the first questions he asked me was how
many children l had. and l said seven.
oh, yes he replied i have heard that be-
fore. You to be congratulated and he
gave me a warm handshake."
At this the minister broke into a laugh,
which made the facial resemblance between
him and President Roosevelt even more
striking than when his face was in repose.
The minister is the owner of such extensive
iron and steel properties that he is called
the Carnegie of Sweden
Speaking of his own people. he said: THE
Swedes are great farmers. They have done
much for the northwest. but I'm afraid 1t
will lose great many before long. They
like Canada better. They say the land is
more fertile. Then, too, many Swedes from
home are going direct to Canada now to
the Argentine. For this reason Sweden
refuses to be alarmed over the emigration
to the United States. 1t will regulate
itself"

Frick and himself In the Sante Fe. Mr.
Hartman also refused to state the con-
nection of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. with the latter
transactions. AS to his previous interest
in the Union Pacfics Illinois Central hold
ings and the Profits therefrom he refused
to answer. He is credited with saving
that his only reason for refusing was the
advice of his counsel.
Otto II. Kahn likewise refused to an
swer regarding the Chicago and Alton

Beautiful State Buildin IS.

No matter what particular feature of the

They are caught IN the swirl of the under

and unconsciously, to make the exposition
a success. They bring their money and
they spend II. And. best of all, they-and
this means all but the low brows and the
wise ones, who always kick-are boosting
the show back home. The wave that fol-
lowed the first splash was an awful thing,
but the undertow bids fair to repair the
damage.
