Story That Other Nations At
tempted To Freeze Germany
Out Is Denied
COMMISSIONERS CONFER
AT PEKING IN AMITY
Reports Regarding RockhilI Mis-.
sion Not Founded Upon Facts
and Apparently Inspired

According to statements made TO The
Advertiser by newspaperman who Is
returning from chinn, and who passed
through Honolulu, leaving yesterday on
the Pacific Mali Steamship Mongolia
the report that the late w. Nv. Rock
hill had been in the United States en-.
deavoring TO arrange for the transfer
OF the quintuple-power loan TO China
from European to American bankers,
is without foundation In fact.
The Advertisers informant said that
when he left Peking only few weeks
ago the Representatives OF France. Eng
land, Germany, Russia aud Japan were
meeting in session three or four days
a week, sometimes every day. He said
that part of the loan money already
had been paid TO China, and that the
nations felt obliged to go through with
the deal.
Commissioners Meet Amicably
No hostile feeling exists between
these banking representatives on ac.
count Of the nations being at war, they
apparently regarding il as useless to
quarrel without avail when they have
great interests at stake. SO the meet
ings continue and the business is
handled as fast as the developments
arise.
This information, together with the
denial from New York contained in
subsequent press dispatches, that Mr..
Roekhill had made any attempt to in.
dpee American bankers to take over
the fye,power loan, effectually disposes
of what may have been an inspired
story. The original story ran to the
effect that France had threatened 10
abrogate her share Of the loan unless
Germany was frozen out Of transaction,
and that England and Russia had sup.
ported the French demand, for the pur,
pose Of driving German influence out
OF China.
Probably Inspired Canard
Such action upon the part of the now
allied nations, coming after the quin-
tuple-power loan had been settled-1n all
its details, naturally would lead to the
belief upon the part Of Germans that
they were being driven to the wall
commercially and automatically, and
would be considered by them as one Of
the immediate causes of the present
war.
However, the promptness with which
Wall street denied story which there
seems little reason TO suppress, and the
new light she'd on the situation by
the information from Picking, would
seem to indicate that the original story
Of the Rockhill mission and its causes
was possibly an inspired canard.
Germany has never made any protest
TO the world against any action Of 9th.
err nations concerned in the Chinese
loan, which further helps to discredit
the original story, in the opinion Of
those who have been watching the
China situation.

HOLDTyG WHEAT
Nebraska Farmers Store Their Grain
for Higher Prices.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 22.-About
one-third of the wheat crop today is
still in the hands of the farmers OF
Nebraska, according to information
received by grain dealers, and most of
this will be held by them for expect
ed higher prices this winter.
In some sections of the state about
half of the present crop of wheat was
sold in July for SIS and 70 cents a
bushel. Then, when the war broke
out the price went up so fast and the
prospects became SO bright for $3.50
wheat that no farmer would sell a
bushel he possibly could hold.
Just now the grain business In this
state is stagnant. The farmers who
didn't stack their wheat are now
buying or renting granary space and
are holding every bushel of grain
they have for what they consider the
inevitable advance. They can get 81
a bushel now easily enough, but in a
few months they expect to see 1T ad-
vance to $3.50 or possibly as high
as 50.

Congressman Charles III. Burke.
the republican candidate for the

Washington by his congressional du-
ties, and doubtless will be unable to
return to the state and make a pro-

are being closely looked after by his
friends in different parts of the state,
who profess to be confident of the
outcome of the election.
Ed s. Johnson of Yankton, the
democratic candidate for the United

different parts of the state, and it is
understood will make an active fight
