ROADS FIGHT FOR Settlers
Canadian Northern Seeks to Counterfeit
Benefit Gained by the Canadian
Pacific.

st. Paul. May 81. - The Canadian
Northern, which maintains the short
est route to Winnipeg from Chicago
via the Duluth, Missabe & Northern,
has placed a commercial agent, G. X.
Hall, in Chicago, and henceforth Will
compete aggressively with the Cana
dian Pacific for the settlers traffic
from points east and south into West
ern Canada. This is a retaliative &C
ton to the recent acquisition by The
Canadian Pacific of the Wisconsin
Central, giving it entree to Chicago.
1t is the intention Of the Canadian
Northern to route through trains out
of Chicago via st. Paul or Duluth into
the very heart of the Alberta empire.
The recent extensions Of this road
permit it to route its passengers into
vast new tracts north of Edmonton
and Prince Albert, in the Peace river
country, and west through the Chi
nook passes of the Northern Rockies.
The ownership of enormous acre
ages of untitled land in the Canadian
northwest is said to be the real i'm
petus. for reaching Chicago for set
tiers. A through route will be provid-
ed for the settlers to these lands,
which will soon be boosted on the
market.

TOWN LOT FRAUD
CASES STOPPED
Defense Makes Serious Charges
Against the Attorneys fol
the Government.
TAMPfRING WITH GRAND JURY
A'~'~y General Orders Proceedings
Suspended Pending Investigation
of Charges.

tulsa, Okla, May 20. 49, Charges
against District Attorney Gregg, made
yesterday by the defense in the Mus
kogee town-lOt fraud cases wero for
warded to the department of justice at
Washington on the suggestion of
Judge Marshall, who is hearing the
trial.
Judge Marshall refused to act on
tho potitiUn OF the defense, asking
that Gregg be prevented from trying
the case. The petition alleged that
improper influences had been brought
to bear on the grand jury which was
dismissed last Saturday as the result
OF charges made by Mr.. Gregg.
Court Refuses to Act.
The court assigned the following
reasons for his refusal to act:
Gregg's charges against the dis
charged jury he regarded as vague
and indefinite.
That the court had paid no atten-
ton to the charges in Gregg's motion,
but had discharged the grand jury be-
cause of the right of the government
to change a grand jury when it so
desired.
That charges against Gregg should
be filed with the department at Wash
ington, from where he was appointed.
Proceedings Suspended.
Washington, May 20.-After receiv-
ing a long telegram, sent Monday by
Henry E. Asp, counsel for the defend
ants in the Oklahoma land fraud
cases, to Senator Curtis of Kansas,
and forwarded by the latter to the de-
partment of Justice, Attorney General
Wlckersham yesterday decided to sus.
pend further proceedings in those
cases pending the receipt of testi'
mony in support of charges alleging
improper conduct on the part of the
government attorneys.
The attorney general also decided
that it would not be for the best in
terests of the government to substi-
tute other counsel.
Mr.. Wickersham stated that it was
his firm conviction that the govern
ment attorneys were performing their
duties faithfully and efficiently, and
that at this long range he certainly
would not interfere with their efforts.

Vice President of Standard Oil
Company Succumbs to
Stroke of Apoplexy.
STOCK MARKET NOT AFFECTED
Financier Had Anticipated Death and
Taken Steps to Safeguard
His Interests.

New York, May 21.-Henry H. Rog-
ers, vice president of the Standard Oil
company, moving spirit in the organi-
cation of the Amalgamated Copper
company, builder of railroads and phi
lanthropist, died at his home here at
1920 o'clock yesterday morning from
a stroke of apoplexy. Death came a
little more than an hour after Mr..
Rogers had arisen for the day, men,
tioning to his wife that lie was feeling
Ill. At Z o'clock he lapsed into un-
consciousness and before the family
physician arrived he was dead. Mr..
Rosers was sixty-nine years old. Mrs.
hogers. three married daughters, a
son, II. II. Rogers, Jr.. and DR.. w. J..
Pulley, a physician who was hastily
summoned, We're g. the bedside when
the end came.
Death Unexpected.
While Mr.. Rogers death was sud
den and UNEXPECTED, he had been in in
different health since he suffered an
apoplectic stroke in 1907, and VAS al
most constantly under a PHYSICIANS

care. His end at THIS time, however,
was a great shock to his family and
business associates, as Tuesday he
was cheerful and apparently normal,
even to the extent of going down to
business in the morning, where he
lunched as usual ia the Standard Oil
building.
Funeral services will be held in this
city at the Church Of the Messiah, a
Unitarian institution, of which the
Rev. DR.. Robert Collyer, a lifelong
friend of Mr.. Rogers, is pastor, Friday
morning. DR.. Collyer will conduct the
services, after which the body will be
taken to Fair Haven, Mass, Mr.. Rog-
ers' native town, for interment.
Did Not Affect Market.
News of the financier's death did
not become generally known until
about two hours after it occurred.
The stock exchange had no topened
when the report reached Wall street,
but with the opening there was hard
ly an appreciate effect on the mar
ket. After a decline at first in the
stocks in which he was popularity sup
posed to be interested, conditions
rapidly adjusted themselves confirm,
ing in a way that Mr.. Rogers had in
the last few months anticipated death
and withdrawn from the market, II
is known, in fact, that he had taken
steps to safeguard his interests by
placing his direct holdings in various
corporations in other hands. Upon
whose shoulders his burdens will rest
hereafter is problematical, although
close friends of the family were in
clined to think that this duty woulG
fall to his son-in-law, Urben H
Broughten.
