New York. March 1.-THE coma
iinued strong tone of the raw sugar
market today sent the price of gran
ulated To the highest level recorded
since the outbreak of the European
war, one OF the largest American
refiners quoted the granulated prod
uct az : cents, while others advanced
the price to 6.90 The high price was
attributed to the recent active de-
mand for sugar from abroad owing to
the small European acreage of beet
sugar and large domestic buying.

ments We're begun today before the
United states circuit court in the ac-
tion brought By the Equtable Trust
company Of New York 20 force Judge
William G. NanFleet, Of the United
states district court, 10 order a sale
OF the bankrupt Western Pacific rail
road ana to restrain him from nam

suit the Denver & Rio Gfande rail-
rond and the Missouri Pacific. The
hearings will he continued tomorrow
Rio Grandc Road Involved.
4 charge that the Denver x RIO
Grande railroad is behind the at
tempt to force an immediate sale Of
the road and that 1t is trying to
shield itself in this litigation was
made today by Garrett McEnerney,
representing Judge VanFleet, whose
previous orders in Western Pacific
litigation were made the base for to-
days arguments, and who was cited
to show cause why his orders should
not be annulled.
on February u he ordered the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Mis-
souri, Pacific TO become defendants In
the foreclosure suit brought a year
ago by the Equitable Trust company.
Duplicity Alleged.
THE Denver & Rio Grande Is mas
qucradine In this litigation said
McEnerney 1T is shielding itself.
The immediate sale Of the Western
Pacific and the present plan Of reor-
ganization would inure TO its benefit.
This is arranged litigation between the
railroad and the Equitable Trust com
pany as trustee of the defaulted bond
mortgage.
Il should assume from creum-
stances that the foreclosure suit
year ago was arranged before it was
filed
There is something missionary IN

The road should not be sold until
the responsibilities of the Denver q

John f. Bowie, representing the re-
organization committee of the West

cations Of the Dmner q Rio. Grande'
should be enforced now that road
would be forced into receivership He
said that the responsibilities of the
Denver & Rio Grande could not be
determined until the western Pacific
price had been learned, meaning tho

lie argued, too. that judge Van
Fleet had no right To force parties to
become defendants, or TO construe the
obligation Of the Denver & Rio

according to the terms of the mort

same on which Grinnell debated Coe
and Cornell in the recent triangular.
The quadrangular debate between
Grinnell, Carleton, Knox and Beloit
was cancelled by concerted action on
the part of Grinnell and Beloit as
result Of scouting work by Knox and
Carleton at the Grinnell debates with
Coe and Cornell. Carleton and Knox
arranged dual meeting between
themselves and Beloit and Grinnell
made the same arrangements mas
much as the quadrangular was formed
under three year contract it seems
probable that it will be carried out
next year with the definite under
standing that scouting will be dis
credited.
Grinnell debating authorities are all
expecting satisfactory settlement of
the affair especially since Carleton has
shown a disposition to consider the
matter with a marked sentiment to-
ward an agreement to do away with
scouting. How Knox regards the mat
ter IS not yet known.

GERMAN FOREIGN
MINISTER LAUGHS
At WILD RUM0Rs
HERR Won JAGOW SAYS HIS Ma
TON HAS NO INTENTION OF
FIGHTING v. S. A.

Berlin, April S.--Recent press dis
patches have brought word OF state
ments in the Canadian parliament and
Canadian newspapers that Germany
was planning after this war to plunge
upon the American continent and par
ticularly to demand cession to Ger
many of the dominion of Canada In
a conversation with Herr Won Jagow,
minister of foreign affairs, The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent referred
to these rumors. The foreign minis-s
ter's first reply was an outburst OF
laughter.
How can people invent or believe
Il need hardly assure you such re-.
ports are too absurd for denial. Il
need only recall that Germany has
never placed itself In opposition to tho
American principle of the Monroe doc
trine.
ut is unfortunately true that during
the war, when the attitude OF the
Washington government at times has
been almost forced. even we think
that there might be some basis for
stories OF an understanding Of soma
sort between Washington and thu
allies, a strong feeling of resentment
and bitterness against the United
States has sprung up among the
masses in Germany.
Unfortunately, too, there are foOk
ish persons among us who talk darkly
and foolishly of taking revenge upon
the United States after the war for
that attitude, but no responsible OF.
fetal takes or can take such ~ view.
We shall have quite enough I'd. do as
home without taking on a new and.
powerful enemy across the AtIantic.ss
