their road was deserving of the APP

road-hardly a lane-and the grass
grew high between two family de-

and turned into a crossroad, there
was such a labyrinth of underbrush,
brush and foliage from low-hanging,
interlaced tree tops that the opening

CHICAGO GRAIN HOUSE
is FORCED TO SUSPEND.

CHICAGO. April 6.-suspension Of
the cash grain house of w H. Merritt
& Co. was announced on the Board of
Trade here today. Customers We're no
titled to close out their trades.
w. H. Merritt & Co. has for many
years been one of the most important
firms in the cash grain trade, n their
failure caused great surprise. The
reasons for the suspension are closely
analogous to those which on Monday
forced another cash grain ~house-the
Burns-Yantis grain ~company-to sus-
pend, namely, the decline in corn
prices recently. Eastern customers of
the Merritt company, having bought
at the high price for later delivery.
are said to have repudiated their con-
tracts when tine market declined.
The liabilities are placed at 100000
and the assets at $350,000.
The firm that all claims
will be paid in full.
Upon the petition of three creditors
Judge Carpenter, of the United States
District Court, appointed Charles Fl.
Castle receiver for the suspended firm.

1t was when DR.. Mead, who was one
of the most popular clergymen that

pulpit, was succeeded by the Rev. DR..
Abel c.. McCrea, that there was such a
jarring and discord among the mem
bers that it appeared for a time that
the then conference would be compelled
TO retain DIR. Mead or select some other
man. So strong was the love for DR..
Mead thai the members Kissed the an
nouncement of his successor, not be-
cause of his personality, but for the
reason that he al the instrument OF
DIR. Mead's displacement.
Frank A. Sterling, for many years a
trustee of the church, and one of its
staunchest pillars, voiced the general
sentiment of appreciation over the Sc
lection of DR.. Vogel when he said today
that it was eminently satisfactory alike
TO the trustees and members of the
church.

said. "and there will be no one tC

of it's employees, was turning out an
inferior quality of work.
In his speech to the degation, Presi-
lem Taft said:
Il haven't followed closely what has
happened at Bethlehem at all. l

you refer. / don't know what govern

naturally go to Bethlehem or in which
Bethlehem would have an opportunity

utterly opposed to the principle of a
boycott. Every issue ought to be settled
on its own merits. If the Bethlehem
work isn't up to contract, then the
