RumOr Secretary
Wilson Will Retire
On November 10

WASHINGTON. Oct. ls.--Rumors we're
in circulation here today that Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson had resigned TO
take effect November Is. or as soon as
the president may elect. but II was impos-
sible TO verify the story. Secretary VIII
son is en- route here from Chicago. For
mer Representative Scott OF Kansas, for
some years chairman OF the house com
mittee on agriculture, and Assistant Sec
retary OF Agriculture Hays we're men
toned as among those likely TO succeed
Mr.. Wilson.
Prof. L. II. Bailey dean Of the New
York Agricultural college and head of
ex- President Roosevelts country life COM
mission, was recently reported as under
consideration for the office on the re-
tirement OF the present secretary. II
had been generally understood in official
circles that Mr.. Wilson desired TO re-
main until spring. but he would not re-
sign before the regular session OF con-
gress has had a chance 10 dispose OF
the investigation Of his department and
settle the controversy into which he has
been plunged IN dealing with Or. Wiley

Great Northern
Ore Certificates
Drop Heavily

NEW YORK oct. 10 Officials OF the
United states steel corporation declined
today TO break their silence in regard to
the significance Of their decision 10 cancel
the corporations lease OF the Great
Northern ore properties. Chairman f II.
Gary was In consultation with the other
officers.
In the absence Of an official eXplana-
tioql, Wall street generally came to the
conclusion that the steel corporations
move was due to its determination TO
avoid the charge of monopoiization or to
escape from an arrangement which has
proved Improbable financially; perhaps
TO both causes. The statement of the
commissioner OF corporations in his re-
cent report to President TAFT that the
steel corporation maintained a monop-
olistic position largely because OF it's
control of ore holdings and transportation
OF ore was cited in support OF the theory
that the company had determined to
avoid further criticism OF this nature.
United states Steel was bought sc-
lively on the Stock exchange today.
Great Northern ore certificates, which
represent the leased property, were sold
heavily. Tho stock fell points 20 10. the
lowest price since 1907.
The United States Steel corporation has
spent several million dollars in develop
ment Of the Hill ore properties, as the
lease prohibited that It should bear the
cost of this work.

Law of Extradition
Set at Naught by
Algonac Marshal

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 1s.-Extradition
Jaws we're set at naught by the marshal
of Algonac, a village on the st. Clair
river. thirty-five miles from Detroit,
when he forced a prisoner captured in
Canada into a boat and brought him to
American soil.
After shooting and seriously wounding
patrolman IN Detroit on Sunday night,
Joseph Moulton, a negro, made his
escape and finally reached Port Lamb
Ion, Ont a hamlet opposite Algonac.
There he was recognized by the local
authorities, who were reluctant to at
tempt to arrest him because Of the repu-
tation the negro had established as a
gun man"
Marshal Gray was hurriedly summoned
from Agouac. He found Moulton in a
grocery store, arrested him and then
hustled his prisoner into a boat and took
him to the American side.
The negro was brought to Detroit later
and lodged In jail

complaints will have been filed by the

suit of Governor Aldrich's open letter
to the county attorney.
THE filing of these complaints is the
result of the general demand for action
