With CANADA
United States Opens Tariff Nego-
tiatioDs With the Dominion
Government
REPLY IS SOON EXPECTED
Stated That United States Will Insist
on More Favorable Treatment of
Pulp and Pulp Wood Com
ing Into U S.

Washington, May 1.-THE United
states government has already taken
steps looking to the negotiation of a
trade treaty with Canada. 1t was off,
.cially announced today that last Thurs
day the secretary of state sent COM
munication TO the British ambassador
here, transmitting to the Canadian
government a formal proposal OF the
Cnited States that tariff negotiations
between the two countries be Initiated
at the earliest time convenient and
agreeable to the Dominion govern
ment.
1t Is assumed this communication
was at once forwarded to the Ottawa
government and that there will be no
delay in forwarding re-
ply. The state department officials
here have no doubt Canada will accept
the proposal of this government, but
upon what lines the negotiations will
proceed so far as this government is
concerned has not yet been determined.
There is no doubt, however. the Unit
ed states viii strepuously insist upon
more favorable treatment of wood pulp

USE OF ROYAL STANDARD.
Royal Ensign Never Lowered Except
Upon Death Of King.

London. May 14:-Few persons
are aware that there are forms and
ceremonies connected with the use of
the British flags besides the regula-
tions as to the signalling of messages
and the displays i'm the times of gener-
al rejoicing. But there are. and the
use of the Royal Standard is an in
teresting case in point. II is never
lowered on occasion of death. except
ing In the case OF the sovereign. and
this has accounted for the late Kings
colors at his castle and palaces al
ways being at the masthead while
the Union Jack and the white ensigns
of the navy have been at half-mast on
the death of a member or relative OF
the royal family. On the demise of
the King the Standard was lowered
probably for the first time since his
Majesty's accession. The position OF
the Standard on the flagstan at Buck
ingham Palace every morning during
the last illness OF the King was a mat
ter Of much interest TO the many
journalists and others who were
waiting for what they knew would
eventually he serious news.

lSnPfMING SCHOOL TEACHER
TRIES TO SUICIDE It's SAID
Pretty Miss Lulu Leisner, Mem
Der Of High School Corps,
Jumps Into Mine Pit
INJURIES MAY PROVE FATAL

Ishpeming, Mich. May 14.-Miss
Lulu Leisner, the young and beautiful
member of the high school faculty,
who fell 40 feet into an abandoned
mine pit, breaking both legs and one
arm. lies in a critical condition at a
local hospital. Edwin +. White geol-
ogist for the Cleveland Cliffs. Iron Co.
who accompanied her on a visit to the
mine, says the girl deliberately jumped
into the mine pit.
White has been attentive To the girl
for some time. but had rival. young
mining engineer. He says the girl had
seemed worried and that when they
reached the pit she deliberately and
without a word jumped, evidently in
an attempt to end her life.
Miss Leisner is an exceptionally
bright and attractive young woman.
She is a graduate of the University of
Michigan and has an aunt in Ann Ar
Dor. where she formerly made her
home.
The girls Ann Arbor relatives deny
that she had any serious love affair
and do not believe she attempted sui
eide. Miss Leisner was not i'm in
health, though she was slender and
delicate looking girl. Her aunt says
she always had hosts of admirers
among the University of Michigan
college men, but she was not the sort
of girl whose head would be turned by
two lovers or who would try to avoid
deciding between two by ending her
fortune in her own name, inherited
from her mother who died at her
birth.

Old TRADITION REVIVED
ON KING EDWARDS DEATH
Mysterious Boatman Said to
Have Carried News Of Death
to Hanover
BEARS OUT ANCIENT LEGEND

London, May 14:--As might be ex-
pected a number of persons have come
10 the front this week ready to make
solemn assertions that they saw "the
boatman" start for Hanover with the
news of King Edwards death. AS the
most of the self-styled eye-witnesses
TO the supernatural event, however.
are sailors and longshoremen who are
commonly supposed to be more super
stition than veracious. their congr-
nation of the old story of the Hanover
boatman may be taken for what II is
worth.
The earliest authority for this pom
ular story. which has been revived
with the death of every British sover-
eign for nearly a century and which
is still believed by a surprisingly
large number of people. was Col Daw
son Damer. son-in-law of the cell
ebrated Mrs. Fitzherbert. 1t seems
that on the night of June 26, 1880.
Col. Damer was standing with a friend
on Westminster bridge. when he saw
n small wherry containing n little
muffled figure dart from the shadows
and swiftly and noiselessly make its
way down the river. While they were
watching the small craft Thames
waterman exclaimed in an awestruck
voice, There goes the boatman to
Hanover"
on being asked what he meant, the
man explained that King George must
be dead as the figure always appeared
on the demise of the sovereign, his
consort or the direct heir to the
throne. and rowed to Hanover TO car
ry the news.
on returning home Col. Damer
heard that George w had died at the
hour when he saw the wherry set
out for beneath the bridge.
The ghostly boatman is said to
have come over with the house of
Hanover and to have been seen at the
death of each of the English sover-
eiSns of that dynasty. When the
prince consort died i'm 1851, the boat
man is stated to have appeared from
beneath Westminster bridge. and

Queen Victoria breathed her last att
Osborne, not only many Thames wat
nrman. but quite a number of we'll

eyed that they saw the messenger of
leath bending to his oars on his
yhostly errand to Hanover.

keeping, however. with those accord

CONFERENCE NOT
TO GO TO SMYRNA

The quarterly conference of Smy-
rna had hoped to extend an invita-
tion TO the Wilmington Conference
Of the Methodist Church to hold the
annual session next spring at Smyrna.
At meeting recently, the quarterly
conference authorized the pastor, the
Rev Alpheus S. Mowbray. to inquire
into the possibility of entertaining
the Wilmington Conference at its
next session.
DR.. Mowbray has made the inquiries
and the conclusion has been reached
that Il is not practical for the Smyrna
church to extend the invitation at this
time. This leaves the matter of
meeting place undecided, and the
Wilmington Conference still open to
invitation from the churches in its
membership.
According to the first story from
Smyrna. the church there had de-
cided TO invite conference but it now
develops that its action was to ignore
into the possibility of entertaining
in 1911 Conference met
Ia Smyrna four years ago
