SECOND king WILL
DECLARED FORCER
Kings Private Secretary
Loses $4,000 If He
Proves His Assertion

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Copies Of 200 type
written pages of affidavits, gathered
by CASTOR B. Means, business adviser
for Mrs. james G. King, to substantiate
the "second will" of her late husband
today were forwarded to Edward Swami
district attorney of New York, who il
believed to be investigating a conspir-
acy against Mrs. Kings life.
The affidavits, which were surrender
ed to Michael F. Sullivan, assistant
state s attorney, by Jacob B. Newman,
formerly Mrs. Kings lawyer, together
with a copy of the "second will'', were
presented to the grand jury here late
yesterday. Forgery indictments are ex-
pected from the grand jury.
Much of the evidence contained in
the affidavits, according to Newman,
relates to an alleged affair between
King and the widow of Captain Oryille
Green, formerly of Chicago.
"Mr. King" it was said, twas
afraid of Captain Green S shadow and
never remained in one hotel more than
three days. said Newman "Captain
Green is said to have received large
sums of money from the millionaire on
threats to expose his affair to Mrs.
King Captain Green died shortly before
Mr.. Kings DEATH"
Great space is devoted in the Means
documents to stuff about spiritualism
and ghosts. Means said sit showed that
Mr.. King was strange and mysterious
being. He seemed to think it might ac-
count for bis hiding the will, which was
not found for twelve years after his
DEATH"
Under the King will that was probat-
ed, William d. Gubbins, his confidential
secretary received $4,000. In the sec
ond will" this was raised to 100000,
In spite Of this, Gubbins maintains the
second document is a forgery.

LORD READING HERE
ON OFFICIAL MATTERS
VIII Give First Hand Informa-
lion As To Financial
Affairs Of Allies

Washington. Sept. 14.-Lord Reading,
British financial commissioner, is in
this country to offer first hand infor-
nation to the American government for
the solving of financial difficulties
which may arise from the war.
He did not come to negotiate private
credits or loans and will not take up
such matters unless occasion arises dur
ing his stay here, he told the United
Press in an exclusive interview today.
There is quite a mistaken impress
sion that | have come here for the pur-
rose of negotiating private credits or
loans,' Lord Reading said. 1.-The rea-
son for my visit is that owing to the
numberless matters arising out of the
war the British government thought it
desirable that opportunity should be
given of affording information at first
hand to the American government by
some one who has been in close rela-
tion with the British government since
your country entered the war.
"With this object in view, was in
vited to proceed here on a special mis-
sion as representative of the British
government and more particularly in
connection with the many questions or
finance which must arise in a war of
this magnitude
The members of the mission expect
to remain in Washington six or eight
weeks and have taken offices near the
British embassy. Part of the time will
be spent in New York, it was stated,
and a visit to Chicago and other west
ern financial centers may be made.
Contrary to reports the Reading visit
is in no way connected with Lord North
cliffe Is mission.

PIECES OF BACON may
CONVICT MINISTER
Kelly Had Mania for Hiding
Pieces Of BacOn---Were
Found with Bodies

Red Oak, Ia, Sept. 14.-The first
witness the state put on the stand this
morning in the EsyaI George ]. Kelly
murder trial was to prove that the un
ordained minister had told persons on
a train of the murder of eight persons
at Villisca, 1913, hous before the crimes
were committed.
The state will make strong fight
On this point alleging that Kelly told
many persons of the ak murders at q
time before they had been discovered by
authorities at Villisca. When court open
ed and Kelly was brought in he display
cd the usual lack of interest in the pro
ceedings.
The exhibition of the red stained ak
with which the state says he crushed
out eight lives failed to move the min
lister. However, when witnesses men
toned pieces of bacon he grew nervous
and great beads of perspiration stood
out on his forehead and his shoulders
twitched.
Attorney General Havner hopes to
clinch the case through these tales of
the finding of bacon at the head of
the Moore bed wherein lay the dead
bodies of Joe Moore and his wife. Per
sons who have been in cells and hos
pitals with Kelly say he had mania
for hiding and keeping small pieces
of bacon. 1t is through the small piece
Of smoked pork that the state seeks
further to prove that Kelly is guilty.

New York, Sept. 14.-Within two
weeks there will be so much wheat
available for flour milling that the big

il all. This was predicted today at head
quarters here of the United States food

The United States grain corporation

over the world.
An official of this organization stat
cd today that some Minneapolis mills
are running on about 80 per cent capa
city now because the farmers-sale OF
their crops at minimum prices assured
are not in any rush to move the wheat
to market. With the prevailing good
weather, the farmers are busy prepar-
ing the land for next years crop, it

the farmers see no advantage in hust
ling their crops to market, as they car
go to the banks any time and ge'
money on their wheat on the basis of {
minimum price, which stands until July
l, 1918. However, the grain corporation
officials said there would be no further
slackening of milling operations in
Minneapolis and elsewhere. The next
move will be to increase the capacities
Of these mills to handle the great flow
of wheat which is sure to begin arriv-
ing within fortnight. Wheat shipments
to the allies are all so carefully regulat'
ed that they will not affect America Is
bread.
In view of the fact that there is an
extraordinary big crop of wheat avail
able, danger of a bread famine is neg
liRible, the official said
He emphasized the statement that un-
DER present conditions farmers are sat
isfied with the minimum wheat price
fixed by the government, as they arc
making no effort to rush their crops
to the mills during the present slight
shortage in an effort tc get higher

Argentine and Sweden Are
Aroused, Mexico May Be
Liberals Encouraged

Mexico City, Sept. 14.-"The news
is damn uninteresting to me, - was the
angry retort of German Minister Won
Eckhardt to the United Press here to-
dav when efforts were made to obtain
his comment on the American expose
O. how he used Swedish Charge Cron-
holm as messenger and recommended
that he be decorated by the kaiser.
Won Eckhardt denied he chad made
any recommendations for Herr Crom-
holm s decoration, for services rem
dered to Germany"
When pressed for further details and
exclamation of the conflict in his de-
nial and the specific letter of March
Is, 1916, bearing his signature, as is
sued by the American state department
Won Eckhardt took refuge behind his
temper. He retired to the inner re-
cesses of the German embassy and de-
clined further comment.
Cronholm is no longer Swedish
charge, but is still in Mexico City. He
was in the German club when the Unit
ed Press correspondent sought to OBJ
tain his version of the affair. All eff
forts to see him, however, proved fruit
less
Cronhom was Fired
Charge Gylfe Anderberg, who sue
eeeded Cronholm at the Swedish lega-
tion last February protested his entire
Ignorance Of the whole matter. He said
Cronholm was no longer connected
with the Swedish diplomatic service.
From the American embassy, how
ever, it was learned that Cronholm is
expecting to leave very shortly for
Sweden and that he had planned to
journey there via the United States.
The Mexican subsecretary for for
eign affairs-the only foreign attache
available early today-declared he had
no knowledge of the situation revealed
by the American expose. He laid EN-
phasis on the fact that if Cronholm
had transmitted any messages to Ger
many-via Sweden-.for Eckhardt since
February, they were in the shape of
private communications and subject to
strict censorship. 1t was in February
that Cronholm's official diplomatic
status ceased with his retirement as
charge.
Made the ''Von'' Angry
German Minister Won Eckhardt has
had considerable experience with Am
erican revelations closely touching him
He was the German diplomat to whom
Foreign Secretary zimmerman adj
dressed his now famous communication
suggesting coalition of Germany,
Mexico and Japan against the United
States.
Won Eckhardt readily granted an in
terview to the United Press correspond
ent and listened with patiently growing
anger and impatience at the cores
rondent s recital Of what the latest
American expose revealed. Efforts to
make him comment further than his
denial that he had recommended Cron-
holm g decoration ''beeause of any
services rendered Germany" were un-
availing. When it was pointed out to
him that this denial only denied the
reasons for decoration and could be
construed as denial of the actual fact
that recommendation for such dec
Grafton had been made, the minister ex-
ploded angrily.

New York, Sept. IA. German imports
from Sweden of foods and raw mater

will be seriously curtailed, or cut off
altogether, when the full effects of the
state department s revelations concern
ing Swedish intrigues in Latin America

The use of Swedish officials to assist

At a time when Sweden IS ships were

Sweden is the only neutral contiguous

people, especially in the east, will be
feeding extensively on rye, corn and

They expect the farmers to begin

two to four weeks, with a consequent
elimination of the flour shortage.
