ENGLAND WILL YIELD

Diplomat Says He Has Authentic
Advices of Pending Con-
ceSsIons.

An influential member of the diplomatic
corps in Washington has received what
he believes is authentic Information that
Great Britain will make concessions to
the United States in the dispute over al
lied interference with American mails
The political value Of such a concession
at this time was pointed out by an ad-
minStTation leader last night. who said
that Il concession in the mails issue
would be very timely and undoubtedly
would have the effect of dissipating the
charge of weakness against the foreign
policy of President Wilson"
1t is not at all unlikely. It was said
that If the news is confirmed. the con-
Cessions by Great Britain will not be Of
ficially announced until very near the
time of the Democratic convention. OF
perhaps during Its session.
The change in feeling on the part OF
Great Britain first became evident, It was
pointed out. when she decided to relea s.
the forty-eight nationals of the central
powers who had been taken from the
American ship China by a British cruiser

Walker Distillery Company of Walker.
Vile, Ontario, Canada, has been grant
ed a decree of divorce in the District
Court here on the ground of cruelty
She told the Court with no small
degree of hesitation that her husband
is about 70 years old, while her age
is but 81. Mrs. Walker said her hus-
band was of very jealous, fault-find-
ing disposition and had interpreted
her desire for the companionship of
men and women of her own age to an
entirely wrong motive ...
Walker is said to be a millionaire.
Within two hours after explaining to
District Judge Stoddard in her suit
for divorce that it was impossible for
young woman to live happily as the

Walker became the bride of E. John

STATISTICIAN ON
SUGAR Resigns
FROM H. c. 5. CO.
Secretary Goes to Europe to
" Examine Into Beet Sugar
Industry

High tribute 70 the business ability
OF Emil Tsehumi. who has just retired
from the secretaryship OF the Hawai-
ian Commercial & Sugar Company
is given in the San Francisco Examin-
er under date of August s. The ar
ticle says:
. The West has lost its greatest sug
ar statistician. Emil TsChumf re-
signed his position as secretary of the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany at the beginning of the current
month and west East Wherever sug
ar is dealt in Tschumi's name is
known. BY common consent OF sugar
men Tschumi is tacitly admitted to
possess more intimate knowledge
concerning the statistical position OF
the Hawaiian sugar companies than
any other man in the business. Tschu-
mi believed in sugar, thought sugar,
talked sugar, and, presumably, ate
sugar. All that was worth knowing
about L he knew. incidentally, the
recent rise in sugar stocks has made
a comfortable fortune for Emil Tschu-
mi, for it was his custom to invest all
his surplus earnings in sugar securi-
ties.
According To a friend, 1t is
Tschumfs intention to go to Europe
and make q personal examination Of
the reserves of beet sugar in the cen
trail empires-if they will permit him
TO do so. Preparatory to this, he pro
poses 10 take trip to Cuba and also
to survey the Porto Rican sugar plan
tations Equipped with these new
statistics, Tschumi proposes to enter
the sugar business in New York. .....
R. o. Hogg has succeeded Emil
.Tschumi in the office of secretary of
the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar
Company. -. ..- -.
F.. +. Baldwin of Alexander & Bald
win, fiscal agents for the Hawaiian,
said: ....-
. TschImi resigned of his own volt
ton, and, in Fact, insisted upon it.
He has gone East, but | am not ia
miliar with his plans. can only say
that the company was sorry to lose
his very valuable services. -
