LORD. RUTHVEN.

Although he is nearly 78 years old, Lord Ruthven has returned to active service as Provost Marshal of London. He began his military career with the Rifle Brigade in 1854, and saw his first active service in the Crfmean war. He Afterwards fought in India, and Ab
 yssinia, and for many years was major in the London Scottish. Lord Ruth ven succeeded to the harony in 1864 on the death of his grandmoth Mary, Baroness RuthVen. His father. the Hon. William Hore, was an army officer, The barony of Ruthven dates from 1487. The fourth Baron Ruth- ven, who also held the title of Earl of GoWrie, seized the young King James in the raid of Ruthven in 15S2, For this he was pardoned, but afterwards treachereusIy beheaded. The sixth Baron Ruthven, Earl of Gewrie, was implicated in the so-called Gowrie conspiracy, which had as it's object the dethroneTnent of James VI. of Scot land The plot was frustrated and the EarI and his brother were slain on the spot Ma1ay persons believed that the

England's Premier Baronet

"Primus Baronettorum Angliae'' Is the proud, title of Sir Hickman Bee Nkett Bacon, the eleventh Baronet of Redgrave. who was born sixty-one years ago today, April IA, 1855, and succeeded his father as England's premier baronet in 1872. The Ba- cons hold their proud pre- eminenceS among the baronets--the first in or der among the gentry and the only order of knighthood that is heredf- tary-by reason of the fact that Sir Nicholas Bacon was the first to take advantage of the royal decree of James T., creating this order. Bar onetcieS were instituted in 1911, and the rebellion in Ulster was responsf- ble for the order. James l., being for quel1ing the uprising without digging too deeply into the royal purse, required that applicants for the title of baronet should pay into the exchequer a sum that would main tain thirty soldiers three years at eightpence a. day in the province of Ulster in Ireland.'' In addition a wou1d-be baronet had to be a gentle man by birth, and to have a clear estate yielding at least one thousand poUnds per annum. Sir Nicholas Ba- con was the first to meet these re- quirements, and he was created a baronetl in 1911, thus gaining for his successors the right to style them- selves premier baronet of England. Baronets of Ireland were created in 1619, and baronets of Nova Scotia in 1925. tf
 Sir Nicholas Bacon, the first baro- net. was the eldest son of the Sir Nicholas Bacon who was the Keeper of the Great Seal in the reign of the good Queen Bess. The family traces its descent from one Grimbald, a, sol. dier in the army of William the Con- queror, who took part in the battle of Hastings. One of his descendants changed his name to Bacon-a name long luminous in English history.
 Sir Hickman Bacon inherited an estate of about 4,O00 acres, including Thonock. Hall, at Gainsborough, Iin- colnshire. He has lately added to his estate the Somerby Park mansion and grounds in Lincolnshire, Abequeathed to him by his maiden aua,nt, the late Miss Mary Beckett, who also left to the premier baronet 8 fortune facon-s siderably more than a million dol lars.
 Perhaps the most useful Of the Bar con scions was Francis, a brother of the first baronet,i who held the post of LordNhtgh chancel1or,i but achieved greater honors as the inventor of the refrigeration process of preserving meat. It was not until after centuries had elapsed that the experiments of Lord Chancellor Bacon in freezing meat resulted in practical benefit to humanity, but the germ of the lgreat idea was his.

New York, Jan. 7.--R.' L. Bats, chief
prosecutor for the government at the
trial Of William Rockefeller, and ten
other former directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road, under the criminal clause Of the
Sherman anti trust law, made his last
appeal to the jury yesterday for the
conviction of the defendants.
Today, after Judge Hunt has deliver
ed his charge, the case will go to the
jury for a verdict. The defendants
include besides William Rockefeller,
Lewis Cass Ledyard, Edward d. Rob-
bins, Charles r. Brooker. D. Newton
Barney, Robert w. Taft, James B.
Hemingway. Charles M. Pratt, A.
Heaton Robertson, Frederick F. Brew

were collectively scored by Mr.. Bats
in his final summing up today for
what he said was the attempt to
shift the responsibility for their alleg-
ed actstto Charles S. Mellen, former
president of the road.
Mellen, he declared, had sought to
protect them by his testimony, and
while he may have told the literal
truth, he did not seem to appreciate
the significance Of the oath he took
here to tell the truth and the whole
truth"

Winnipeg, Man, Jan. I'm the
early days Of crop movement the
spread between the cash price for
wheat in Minneapolis and Winnipeg
in favor of the former market was
very noticeable, but as the season ad-
vanced, heavy premiums for prompt
delivery at lake terminals gradually
wiped out the difference and for a
short time put Winnipeg in premier
position as to price. With the close Of
navigation, however, the spread re-
appeared and it has been widening

son, except for short periods, when
exceptional occasion arises owing to
the demand for wheat for lake cargoes,
Minneapolis wheat prices are always
higher than Winnipeg prices.
