Washington, June 22.-The selective
draft will bear more heavily upon
those states which failed to fill their
quotas of regular army and national
guards than upon those which. have
answered the nations call already.
The president has appealed for TO-
600 men to bring the regular army up
to war strength by July 1. but it is
not likely that those states which have
failed to respond 50 FAR will furnish
many of these enlistments.

indicates that recruiting is at its low

waukesha, Wis, June 22,z-Miss
Grace Lusk who terminated love
triangle yesterday by shooting Mrs
David Roberts to death and later
turning the pistol on herself, was still
conscious in the hospital today and il
was predicted she would recover.
Owiny to her highly nervous condi-
ton no attempt was made to question
her closely.
Her father. DR.. A. J. Lusk Of Mosi-
nee, Wis, arrived today and tele-
graphed to former Governor Francis
e. McGovern of Milwaukee to come to
Waukesha to look after his daughters
legal interests,
DR.. David Roberts, husband of the
slain woman and alleged base of the
triangle, still professed himself at a
loss to account for the shooting. Am
pie light on the subject, however, is
said to have been shed by large col
lection of letters written or received
by Miss Lusk. They indicate on their
surface that Miss Lusk resented DR..
Roberts alleged failure to make a
clean breast of the affair to his wife

Letter to Mrs. Roberts.
A letter evidently written by Miss
Lusk to Mrs. Roberts while the for
mer was in Chicago was made public.
1t read:
cit has been a desire with me for a
long time to tell you frankly OF the
state Of affairs between Dr. Roberts
and myself. have asked him to tell
you the whole story but you seem to
have him terrorized to a pitiful de-
gree. If were to blame you for any
one thing it would be for that You
must have known for many years
there did not exist between you and
your husband the greatest confidence
that is essential in the higher state OF
marriage.
you must have known for long
time that your husbands affection has
passed from you; that he cared for
some one else. That is, sufficient an
nulment of any marriage vow that
ever was given.
THAT is the way you respectable
folks-good moral women-do things
in order to keep your reputation and
live lives of ease.
In the eternal triangle, our souls
require for their solution the elimina-
ton of one character. The two who
should remain are the two whose af-
fections are mutual. There is no use
in my telling the details of our
case. am sorry that it ever start

those who are dear to me. Will you

GRAIN EMBARGO NOT
INHERENTLY UNLAWFUL
But Railroads Must Submit Rules to
Prevent Discrimination Between
Shippers.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 22.-The practice
of railroads in refusing to accept grain
at interior points for export unless
steamship arrangements for its trans
portation have been made in advance
was held yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission to be not in
herently unreasonable or otherwise un-
lawful.
In proceedings filed by the Balti-
more chamber of commerce protesting
against the practice, the commission
found that while the railroads meth
DDS were to some extent justified by
the car shortage. the practice unduly
favors the person to whom permits are
issued, because the use made of the
permit Is not adequately policed and
safeguarded."
Should the permit practice be main
tained," the decision reads. "the de-
PENDANTS (the railroads) should sub
NIT within fixed days for our approval
rules which will eliminate the unlawful
features OF the present practice"

Federal Trade Commission
Will Be Asked to Take
Action
MANUFACTURER TO
BE GIVEN CHANCE
Governments s Demands Will
Leave Inadequate
Supply

Washington, June 22.-The federal
trade commission will be asked soon
by President Denman. Of the emer-
gency feet corporation, to fix a uni
form price for steel and steel products
for all industries in the United States.
The commission will be asked to
name a fair price which will afford the
producers a fair profit not only on
steel, but pig iron and other materials
entering into the manufacture Of
steel.
The method of procedure will be for
the commission to suggest to all iron
and steel manufacturers and ore pro-
ducers that they unite and name a
price themselves subject to the COM
missions approval. Should they de-
eide to adopt this course the govern
ment has power to commander the
plants.
With the government obtaining its
steel for the proposed fleet OF ocean
going vessels at a comparatively low
price, IL is feared that unless some
restrictive action be taken, the price
of steel and iron to other Industries
will attain unheard of levels within
a short time.
That, II is pointed out, might be
brought about by the natural law Of
supply and demand, as the govern
ment requirements when filed will
leave an inadequate supply for other
industries.
