vention of 1913 of the Protestant Epis-

withdraw its vote and concur in the ac-
ton of the other. The bishops have
asked the deputies to do this.

MODERN IDEAS CAUSE
LOSS OF OLD HOUSES
Electric Wiring Destroys More Famous
Old English Country Mansions
Than Do Suffragets.

London, Eng, Oct. 25.-Apart from
the country houses burned in recent
months by the incendiary brigade of
the suffragets, England has of late
suited some other serious losses in
the destruction by fire of well known
country mansions.
A number of county landmarks have
gone, the latest being Waldershare
Park Mansion. the country seat of earl
GuilifOrd. situated a few miles out of
Dover IN most cases defective cleo
tric wiring has been the cause of the
fires, so that the loss can be put down
to the demand for modern comforts in
country homes.
Weldershare Park was the residence
of lord North, George IT'S minister,
TO whose Obstinancy England owed the
loss Of the American colonies He sue
ceeded his father as earl Guilford, and
the present earl is a direct descendant
OF his. For centuries past the occu-
pants of country mansions like VALID
ershare Park have had to be satisfied
with the light of candles. or in some
few cases gas, but with the advent of
electric light and the extension of the
systems 10 the country there has been
a steady demand for this modern form
of lighting and with it a greater
number of fires

residence the wiring for the electric

TO DISCUSS HIGHER
RATES ON WHEAT

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 25.-Notification
has been received by the Arizona cor
poratiOn commission that an important
hearing, involving the proposed adj
vances in rates on wheat from middle
western to western points, has been
set for Nov. 20, at Albuquerque. Com
missioner F. A Jones and rate clerk
Edgar Brown viii represent the Ari-
IONA body.
If the railroads Justify the pro-
posed advance in the wheat tariff the
state commission will lose the flour
rate case heard here last spring. The
present rates on flour to Arizona from
middle western points are much higher
than the wheat rates, but the railroads
set up the contention that the wheat
tariff was published by mistake and
is far too low. They published a new
wheat tariff, practically doubling the
old, which was suspended pending the
hearing at Albuquerque If wheat
rates are raised. Arizona miIlers may
be forced out of business.
The Arizona commission has also
been notified that the hearing on mixed
cars of fruit rates. to have been held
at Sacramento, Calf, October 81, has
been postponed indefinitely
