a man has been on this continent 1885,

the Japanese widow of George ID. Nor

get the 100000 fund which her hus-
band left her when he died suddenly
in Seville, Spain. Morgan, in his will,
directed that it should go to his wild

asked the courts to decide whether
the terms should be carried out or
whether the fund should be divided
between the decedent's brother, Junius
Spencer Morgan, of Paris, and his sis
ter, Miss Caroline Lucy Morgan, ex-
planning that Morgan received the fund
in a trust left by his father to him, his
sister and his brother. Morgan mar
ried in Toxic. Miss Yuki Kato was
the daughter of a sword maker. She
was well educated, however, and spoke
English, but New York society did not
accept her and she and Morgan went

ENGLAND MAY BUY

THE SCHEME TO TAKE OVER ALL
BOOZE BUSINESS MEETS
WITH FAVOR.
REQUIRES BIG SUM OF MONEY
Change in Government Brings Renewal
of Argument for Entire Purchase
Question Has Become Ur-
gent Account Complaints.

London.-The purchase of the drink
trade in Great Britain by the state is
believed to be imminent.
THE matter has been closely con-
sidered by the liquor control board
during the last fortnight" says the
Daily Express. Several members of
the board have long advocated the
purchase and the change in the gov
eminent has brought a renewal of
their argument"
Bill Might Pass.
The Express quotes Sir Thomas
Whitaker, member of parliament, as
saying that David Lloyd George, the
prime minister, is known to favor the
step, while several of the unionist
members are understood to agree with
him. Sir Thomas believes a bill call
ing for the purchase would pass the
house of commons without difficulty.
Sir Thomas Whitaker was chair
man of the committee which advo-
Gated the purchase in 1915, when the
tween $3.50, 100000 and 100000, 900,
Since then, however, the government
has interfered drastically with the
production of spirits.
The Daily Express asserts that
further great restrictions in the manu-
tain in the immediate future, whether
or not the purchase plan is put into
effect The paper continues:
Industries Crippled.
at is known from other sources
that the liquor question has lately be-
come an urgent one for the govern
ment in consequence of renewed com
plants of the hindrance of munition
work and other industries due to ex-
cessive drinking and also to the fact
that much freightage and vast guam
titles of food material are absorbed in
the liquor industry. Memorials from
such centers as Birmingham, Liver
pool, Manchester and Glasgow have
reached the government, warning OF
delays in munitions, shipbuilding and
similar industries and urging total pro
hibition.
1T may be recalled that Premier
Lloyd George urged the nationaliaa
ton of the drink trade in the spring
of 1915, but failed to achieve the sue
cess of the scheme. At that time the
plan was regarded as impracticable
but since then it has been strongly
advocated, and the demand is being
continued by a section of the press"

GRAIN AND MILLING NEWS.

1t is reported that -four mill is
contemplated at Bruneau, Idaho.
The International Elevator Co. is
completing a new elevator at Waller,

A movement has been inaugurated
to secure flax straw mill at Plenty

Argentina's wheat harvest this year
will be one of the poorest the coun-
try ever has seen, due to injury by
drouth and locusts. Consular reports
received Thursday said the amount
of wheat available for export this
year will total not more than l,000,-
600 tons. Normally 100000 tons
are exported.
The International Institute of Agri-
cultures harvest estimates continue
to indicate poor world crops. 1t is
now able for the first time, through
new reports just received, to fore
cast the wheat production of Argen-
tina. The Argentine wheat crop is
estimated at 100000 bushels, one
half that of last year. Australia's
wheat crop is estimated at 135,OO0,-
900 bushels, which is per cent bet
ter than the yearly average. For the
worlds IS most important countries,
including the United States, Canada,
British India, Japan and all Europe,
the estimated total wheat crop is
placed at 2,5OO,OOO,OO0 bushels, which
is % per cent less than last year.

Writes Commission for Modification
of ProtocoI-Avoids Reputation.
Neutrality-suspicious. more appeal for
modification of the protocol providing
for the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico is made by General Car
ranaa in a message delivered to Sec
rotary Lane Saturday by Luis Cabre-
ra, chairman of the Mexican members
of the joint commission. The Mexican
first chief replied to the insistent Am
erican demand that the protocol signed
by his spokesman at Atlantic City be
ratified, with an S00-word document,
in which he failed to accede to the de-
mand, but refrained from writing any
thing that could be construed as flat
reputation.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid-
cred by the three American represent
atives-Secretary Lane, ]. R. Mott
and Judge George Gray.
This week joint session of the
Mexican-American commission will be
held, at which the Americans will give
the Mexicans their answer, and on its
nature depends the future course of
the commissioners, who were direct
ed more than four months ago to eff
feet, if possible, the adjustment of
questions at issue between the two
countries.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The most important general bust
ness factor of the week has been the
continuance in more definite and per-
sistent form of peace talk. This has
tended to depress trading and caused
some weakness in many staple lines
of merchandise, but in the case of
some others, such as cotton and cot
fee, it is be ieved peace would
strengthen the market. But as a gen.
eral proposition, no particular slump
is expected in any event, as most
manufacturers are booked to their
full capacities for several months in
the new year.
There continues a shortage of ships
for export business on both coasts,
with rates high. Domestic transpor-
tation conditions have also been bad
with fl eight congestion and virtual
freight embargo on many articles, but
it is believed this condition will i'm
prove after the first of the year, with

BUT FAIL IN VERDUN ATTACK

The latest official communication
from Berlin records fresh advances for
the Teutonic allies against the Rus
SLAMS and Rumanians in Wallachia.
The invaders now are we'll beyond
Rimnik-Sarat, advancing along the
railroad toward Fokshani. Three thou

guns have been captured by the in
vaders, bringing the number of men
taken in the Rimnik-Sarat maneuver
up to 1920.
Although the Berlin war office re-
ports that the Teutonic allies in De-
brudpa are keeping up their pressure
against the Russians and Rumanians
and have forced the Russians from for
titled height positions east of Matchin,
on the east bank of the Danube oppo-
site Braila, Petrograd announces that
the invaders south of the Danube have
been repulsed with heavy losses, ex-
cept at the village of Rakel which has
been occupied by them. British armed
motor cars, says Petrograd, did great
execution in this fighting
Repulse German Attack.
Considerable fighting has again ia
ken place on the Cerdun sector around
lie Mort Homme and ON the east
ern slopes of hill No. 304, where the
Germans made an attack, but were re-
pulsed, and where later the French
began bombardment of the German
positions. Elsewhere along the French
front there have been reciprocal bonn
bardments and attacks by small patrol
parties, interspersed with fights in the
air and aerial raids by French and
German aviators In the encounters in
the air each side is reported to have
lost machines.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
weather has cleared and the artillery
duels have been renewed with vigor,
especially on the Carso front In Mace

against the Bulgarians northeast of

Other vegetables in seasonable de-
mand and without material change

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Following the big break of
the previous two weeks, the market
has been very erratic this week.
Early in the week there was some
further declines, then Wednesday the
Chicago market advanced 3 to 6
cents. This was followed by slight
declines yesterday and today, ieav-
ing The market now not materially
changed from the figures of a week
ago; at country points in this section
S1.37 for bluestem, $1.32 for club and
$1.31 for Red Russian. Since Christ
mas, however, there has been prac-
tically nothing doing on this coast in
the way of notable buying or selling
movements. Lack of cars continues
to retard the movement of wheat to
tidewater and restricts export opera
tions. Statistically, however, and
aside from peace talk influences, the
situation is one of strength.
Flour-In sympathy with the recent
slump in wheat, there has been a de
cline locally of 25 cents on patents
to SIS and $7.75. Local mills have
been booking big orders this season
for eastern shipment and the goods
are going forward as consistently al
transportation conditions permit
Feed-The situation is sympathet
ically unsettled, but there are nj
price changes except declines in feeC
