 ing Undersold.

CHICAGO, Jan 27 The retail gro cers all over the city are protesting against the municipal grocery store, as they claim that the prices at the city store are 25 per cent less than they can afford to sell for. The larg. '-.' quantities hi which goods are sold to the city store the free advertis- ing which the newspapers have giv cn the new venture. the willingness of the people to purchase supplies al the city store and carry them home. while forcing the retailer to deliver; the fact that cash is paid for all sup plies at the municipal store and the demand for credit from the corner store, all tend to make impossible competition fair. says the spokesman of the Retail Grocers' Association.
 It is estimated that advertising worth several millions of dollars has been given to the city municipal sto;. by the papers of the city. while they will not give local merchant pleas ant shille unless p id for it.

WILSON AGAINST
 FREE CANAL TOLL Would Have American Vessels Pay Just the Same az Other coun-
 tries-causes Surprise.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.--Great surprise was expressed here today when it became known that President Wilson was opposed to the granting of free tolls to American coastwise shippers using the Panama canal
 England and Germany object to the section of the American canal bill which granted to American coasting vessels the right to pass through the canal free of toll duties. This measure was passed in the hopes of building up a larger Amer ican merchant marine, but England claims 1t is in violation of the Hay treaty with the United States, while Germany objects under the favored nation clause in the treaty between the two countries. Other nations have also protested.
 Because of the tolls England and Germany refuse to have an official exhibit at the San Francisco worlds fair.

RAD|UM CANCER
 CURE |S FATAL
pr. Campbell So Tells House Som- mittee, as It Poisons Blood
 May Withdraw Radium Lands

WASHlNCION, Jan. lI.--Dl. |. Campbell, director of Pennsylvania radium clinic, appeared before the House Committee on Mines yester- esa and testified that so far the new cure of cancer by means of radlum was fatal, because, while the cancer growth was disintegrated, yet the poi son from the radium would effect the blood and death resulted
 The testimony was given during the investigation as to the advisability of withdrawing all public lands contain ing radium ores,. so that the govern ment may secure the radium and loan it to the hospitals for medical use.
 The bill is strongly backed Dy the conservationists, but others claim that instead of aiding the poor the bill will prevent the mining of the ore and in consequence will result in harm. It is claimed that as the pres ent laws allow the mining of the ore where found, the people are at least securing radium, even at d tle-- mendous high price, while if the lands are withdrawn none will be mined.

 President Huerta is ruling with an iron hand and the entire population of inc upper class is now working tn him to establish peace in the republic, as they fear the combina- tion of bandits operating under the name of constitutionalists.
 The federal government is pushing its campaign in various parts of the country at the same time reports reaching here indicate that the reb els. especially in the north, are suf- fering from inability to obtain arms and ammunition from the United States. The federals are. able to get an ample supply trom Europe and a local factory.
 Persons coming from the north state that the rebels will not be able to continue their campaign ninety |dsys unless they get aid which will insure supply Of munitions of war. Their lack of success at border points and their failure to renew the attack on Tampico are laid to this lack of ammunition
 The activity of the Zapatistas in the south continues, however They are harassing the federals around Cuernavaca, which have recently been commanded by Gen. Antonio G.
 olea, whose troops are known as the Devils Column"
 President Huerta gave q banquet last night. but spoke little of inter national questions. although he talked freely on various matters of present importance. He seemed confident of eventual success.

no malice for the man who had killed
his sister with a hatchet crept into

bespoke his faith in the belief that In

some well-dressed, others wearing

weeping In silence. Men, too, had
bowed their heads and passed hand

Justice shall come to him who has
