'You are certain, Mr.. Grimm" and
the president spoke with great de-
liberation, you are certain that the

Grimm promptly Il am certain. how

added in most matter-of-fact tone.
They should have killed me: it was
their only chance"
The president seemed little star
tied at the suggestion.
That would have been murder" he
remarked.
True" Mr.. Grimm asqulesced, "but
It seems an absurd thing that they
should have permitted the life of one

IMMENSE SUM IS LOST

New York, Jan. 31.-Discussing re

States government because of inn

imported, the United States Tobacco
Journal estimates the loss in the last
twenty years at between s75,000,0

Mckinley law of 1890, the journal
says, has induced the merchant com

"The ideal way" says the Journal
"of preventing any loss to the govern

the standard of a strict comformit,
with the mandates of the law, would
be the enactment of uniform specific
duty on all Cuban tobaccos. Any 9th

CANNON PLANS A
TRIP To EUROPE
Not Going to Evade Appearance
Before Grand Jury.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Speaker Can
non contemplsAes a trip to Europe
when he lays down the gavel at the
close of the present session of con-
sgress on March A. He has made no
bookings and has not formed his
party, but is in search of a few con-
genial persons and if they are found
he may celebrate his seventy-fifth
birthday on May outside the con-
fines of Uncle Sam.
1t was thirty-six years ago when Mr..
Cannon was last in Europe. He be-
lieves that there have been enough
changes in that time to make another
trip worth while for the purpose of
comparison.
There is no suggestion in the pro-
posed trip of a desire to remain away
from Danville to escape appearance
before a grand jury, but his return
home may be delayed until late in the
fall 1t is likely he will make the trip
with a party of congressman, some
thing along the line of the journey he
made four years ago, when a congress
sional party visited the West Indies
for five weeks.

Grain Expert Declares That Agree

mission of Grain, He Says, Will Re-
suit in More Equitable Distribution.
Washington, Jan. 31.-That the
fears of Northwestern farmers that
the Canadian agreement places wheat
and other grains on the free list
would tend to depress prices are
groundless is the substance of a state
ment made on the authority of tie
administration. The statement, which
was prepared by grain expert under
the direction of the administration,
sets forth in detail reasons why the
Canadian agreement would insure
greater stability in prices and not
result in reductions as alleged by
Northwestern Representatives who
have criticised the arrangement nego
tiated with the ottawa government
by President Taft
1t is pointed out that under present
conditions Canada's surplus of grain
is dumped at Liverpool, affecting
prices at that point, which, in part
regulates the prices of the world
The admission of wheat to the United
States duty free, it is argued, would
result in more equitable distribution
of the product and prevent the dump
ing" at Liverpool, which now at times
is felt by wheat producers the world
over The statement, in part, follows
Won't Disturb Farm Prices.

into the United States of wheat and

NIGit W iHlpCFtdf FSOCt dttOHs
London, Jan. 31.-Many of the Lon
don papers, especially those favoring
tariff reform, see in the proposal for
tariff reciprocity between Canada and
the United States the first step to-
ward a political union of the two
North American countries. They print
long jeremaids saying the end of the
imperial federation is in sight and that
the desertion of Canada means the
breakdown of the entire combination
In this connection the Daily Mail says:
"The imperial preference, of which
Canada Is the cornerstone, is dead
The Mail continues: Herein lies the
root of the danger which the imperial
federation has to face. Without Can
ada there can be no imperial pref
