GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Aug. 11 The grain trade wonders if the renewal of rail labor dispute will render grain movement and demand somewhat stagnant. Sentiment seems that the rail men are still protesting against general costs. Corn crop is doing well, no heat damage. Statistics look like nearly 29 million. One local grain paper, a monthly, says a business depression will be the only cure for current serious situation. Forecast for showers in northern part of the corn belt. Hogs strong, top $23.10. Locals prefer the buying side on breaks. Chicago grain range Furnished by E. W. WAGNER 6. CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. Phone 1720. CHICAGO. Aug. 11.

PRESIDENT UNABLE TO RELEASE ALL PAPERS, KE SAYS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. President Wilson wrote Chairman Lodge of the senate foreign relations committee today that it would not be possible to comply with the committee's request for the documents used by the American peace commissioners at Paris in negotiating the peace treaty. "The various data bearing upon or used in connection with the treaty with Germany," said the president, are so miscellaneous and enormous in mass that it would be impossible for me to supply them without bringing from Paris the whole file of papers of the commission itself and would in

clude many memoranda which was agreed on grounds of public policy, It would be unwise to make use of outside the conference." Secretary Lansing had several carefully prepared statements ready to present to the foregn relations committee today on his second appearance before the committee to discuss the peace treaty and related subjects. The statements were in reply to questions asking the secretary when he appeared last Wednesday, but which he preferred not to attempt to answer fully without consulting state department files. They concerned chiefly the government's negotiations with Japan during the war and the atitude of this government toward Cbna's entrance in the war on the side of the allies. beans, 10c lb.; sweet potatoes, 2 lbs. 25c.

Present is Worst Possible Time to Try Public Ownership of Railroads is Expert's Opinion

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. That the present Is the worst possible time to advance a proposal for the government ownership of railroads is the opinion of C. C. McChord, senior member of the interstate commerce commission and acknowledged one of the world's foremost railway authorities. In a statement issued here, after pointing out the record shows he cannot be classed as an opponent of government ownership, Commissioner McChord said: "It is estimated that the indebtedness of the country in part, as a result of the war, will approximate $30,000,000,000. Add to this what the government is now obligated to pay the railroads under the federal control act, in order that they shall be restored to their owners in as good condition as when they were taken over, and a conservative estimate is that the total cost of the transportation systems would not be less than $20,000,000,000. "An issue of bonds to pay for the railroads would increase the national debt to about $50,000,000,000, or over $450 for every man, woman and child in this country, assuming the popula tion to be 110,000,000. "At 4VS per cent interest, the an nual charge on the total indebtedness would be $2,125,000,000, or about $20 per year for each resident. "No one should at such a time as this, when the business and industrial interests are endeavoring to resume THREE MONARCHS HAVE

WORLD: HAD HARD FATE: WHAT OF FOURTH?

Charles I of England. Louis XVI of France. Napoleon Bonaparte. William Hohenzollern. These four names are eloquent They tell a story of once mighty monarchs dethroned. Three of them were placed on trial for their sins, or the sins of their ancestors, and condemned one to the block, one to the guillotine, and one to St. Helena. What is going to happen to the fourth? Charles I and Louis XVI were formally called before tribunals of men who had once been their subjects. Napoleon was tried in. the court of nations. His case, in many respects, is like that of the man who saws wood today in the beautiful park of his castle prison in Holland, dreaming about past glories and wondering what the future holds for him. In the month of July, 104 years ago, Napoleon, driven from Paris by the triumphant armies of the allies of that day and deprived of his power by action of the assembly, was a refugee in the tiny Isle d'Aix, off Rocheport, watching the British ships of war as they cruised in the bay of Biscay, barring the way to America and freedom. Eventually he was given up into British hands, and was sent to St. Helena in August, 1S15, without formal trial. He had been condemned months before by the allies in congress at Vienna as the arch-disturber of the world. How different was the fate of the unhappy Charles I and of Louis XVI. Charles had been accused of no international crime. "Tyrant, traitor, murderer and implacable enemy to the commonwealth of England," were the charges brought by the Cromwellian roundheads. He faced his hand picked high court, of justice in Westminster hall and laughed derisively in the faces of the eighty or more commissioners as the charges were read. "By what lawful authority am I brought here?" he demanded. "Remember I am your king, your lawful king, and what sins you bring upon your heads, and the judgment of God upon this land. Think well upon it, I say, before you go further, from one sin to a greater." Said the court: "If you had been pleased to have observed what was hinted to you by the court at your first coming hither, you would have known by what authority; which authority requires you in the name of the people of England, of wheh you were elected king, to answer." "No, sir. I deny it," replied Charles. "England was never an elective kingdom, but an hereditary kingdom for nearly these one thousand years, therefore let me know by what authority I am called hither. I do not stand more for the liberty of these people than any here that come to be my pretended judges." The court thereupon held . private sessions. January 25, 1648, the king was found guilty of "levying war against said parliament and people, and maintaining and continuing the same. For all of which treasons and crimes, this court doth adjudge that he, the said Charles Stuart, as a tyrant, traitor and public enemy to the good people of this nation, shall be put to death by the severing of his head from his body." The sentence was carried out by a headsman on a scaffolding in Whitehall, January 20, 1648. Louis, of France, met a like fate by more modern means. The guilloGovernment Flour Finds No Market In Richmond Offer of the United States grain ad ministration to sell flour which it holds to jobbers and wholesalers is not creating much interest in the Rich mond markets, for the prevailing prices here are on the whole more satisfactory than the prices offered by the government, said dealers Monday. Flour offered by the government is what is known as a "straight grade," which is not the best grade, dealers said. United States prices are: To wholesaler $10.2 a barrel and a profit of 75 cents a barrel, making the price to retailers $11 a barrel. The retailer is allowed a profit of $1.75 making the price to the consumer 12.75 a barrel. The offer further says that flour in broken packages must not retail for more than 7 cents a pound. Millers said they could sell a much better grade of flour to the retailer for the same price of $11 a barrel. A grocer said that a better grade of flour is retailed here at $12, thus effecting a saving to the consumer of 75 cents on a barrel. In broken packages, flour is selling retail for 7 cents, the same as the government price.

business and production on a peace basis, advocate national expenditures on so stupendous a scale." FACED OUTRAGED tine replacing the headsman's axe. He and his family were imprisoned in Paris. On the far borders of France the armies of then republic had been successful; and Danton, from his seat among the furious radicals in the national convention had shouted: "Now let us throw them (our enemies) the head of the king in defiance." This utterance sealed the fate of the king. It was determined to bring him to trial on a chorge of having conspired against the constitution and the public good. December 11,1792 officers appeared at the prison and read to the king the decree of the convention that "Louis Capet" should bs brought before it for trial. 'Capet," said the king, "is not my name, but that of one of my ancestors." The trial was long drawn out but the ruler was doomed to die before it was over. January 27, 1893 a vote was taken. He was condemned to the guollitine, 387 out of 721 deputies voting for death. Many of those who voted to send the king to the guollitine met death themselves at Robespierre's hands within a few months. The final tregedy was enacted in Place de la Revolution. The head of Louis XVI dropped into a baskit, and the fanatical mob bathed their handkerchiefs in the blood and saved ihem as souvenirs. ARE MARRIED AFTER HALF CENTURY APART DENVER, Col., Aug. 11 Nearly a half century ago, as they planned for their future love, she dreamed of the days when they would be man and wife. Nearly a half century ago she gave' her promise that in weal or woe, in cloud or in sunshine, in happiness or in sorrow, her love would never waver; that if fate would part them she would not falter in her faith, that as long as life lasted, so long would she be true. Fate intervened through illness. She released him to marry another woman. But her love never wavered. The half-century romance had its culmination in the mariage of Herman A. Sturgis, a prominent Omaha attorney, and Miss Jane M. Kelly, recently of Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Sturgis' former wife died a few years ago and shortly afterward the old romance came into its own again. Both Gray-Haired. Silver gleams in their hair now. The hand of age has touched the brush of elderly apearance to their cheeks. No longer is there the fire and brightness of youth, for each -is more than 70. The winter of their lives is upon them in all except their hearts. And there the love they bore each other in the springtime of their lives has returned as strong, still as bright, still as radiant as the days forty-eight years ago, when they gave their promise and told each other that in spite of all the barriers that this world might raise some day, some time, they would be united in marriage. The romance started when Mr. Sturgis and Miss Kelly were attending Michigan University at Ann Arbor. They were classmates at that institution for several years. Friendship ripened into love and they planned to marry within a few months after their graduation from this institution. Fate intervened, however, and the marriage of these two lovers was delayed for forty-eight years. Father Becomes III. Miss Kelly's father, a merchant at Ann Arbor, became 111, and the daughter called off the marriage temporarily for the purpose of taking care of her failing father. The aged parent did not Improve, but lingered for a number of years. In the meantime Sturgis had left Ann Arbor and located in Omaha, where he began the practice of law and made a success. Miss Kelly, realizing that she was needed badly by her father and being unable to tell definitely when she would be free to marry the man she loved, released Sturgis. and several years later he married an Omaha woman. Sturgis' wife died a few years ago and the call of the first love proved so strong that the attorney, although well along in years, resumed his courting of his boyhood sweetheart. He found a ready response in his love making, Miss Kelly being in a most receptive mood. In China when a pupil is reciting his lesson he turns his back to hi? teacher.

ECONOMICAL BUYING MAY REDUCE H. C. L FREEMAN BELIEVES

Economy in buying. Is given by Prosecuting Attorney Gath P. Freeman as the only real means of reducing the high cost of living, and eliminating profiteering food merchants. Grand jury investigations, suits, and the like would have little effect on the general prices unless they are conducted by the federal government in a nation wide scale, he believes. "The best way for people to meet present prices, in my opinion, would be to stop buying unnecessary articles that are exceptionally high," Mr. Freeman said today. "For instance, the present prices charged" at market for greenstuffs i3 the same that is charged by grocers, but if people discontinued the purchase of these articles from the market gardeners, the price would soon have to come down." Mr. Freeman said today that as far as he knew, there would be no grand jury investigation on food prices in Wayne county. According to his statement, it would be almost impossible to convict any county merchant for profiteering under the present laws of Indiana. PROHIBITION (Continued from Page One) vised bill contains a provision that such acts shall be expressly authorized upon receipt of permits. The house limit of ten days on permits to purchase intoxicants also is extended in the revised bill to ninety days. Pharmacists only may Bell at retail and licensed physicians only may prescribe liquor. The house requirement for physical examination by physicians of applicants for liquor prescriptions, however, was eliminated. The house provision limiting physicians' dispensing to one pint of liquor in ten days for the same person is retained but modified to provide that such limitation shall apply only to prescriptions "to be taken internally." More rigorous provisions guarding transactions in wines for sacramental and religious purposes are provided by a provision requiring issuances of such permits only to ministers, rabbis or other ecclesiastics. House provisions regarding advertising of beverages are made more stringent in some respects and more liberal in others. The subcommittee struck out provisions prohibiting sign or billboard advertising but added a clause penalizing "advertisement of intoxicants" anywhere by any means or method. Also stricken out was a house clause authorizing obliteration of liquor advertising or the use of pictures of a distillery, bottle, keg, barrel or other receptacle in advertisements. A new clause permits manufacturers and wholesale druggists to advertise alcohol in trade journals. Retaining the house provision against advertisement of compounds, preparations or formulas for manufacture of intoxicants, the subcommittee strengthened this section by prohibiting also the advertisement of, any "utensil, contrivance or machine" for such purpose. Attractive Girls Most Dangerous Real Estate Sharks, Doctor's Opinion LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 11 Dr. Peter Janes of the Los Angeles realty board, told the city council how much more deadly is the sting of the feminine realty shark than that of the male. "Very attractive girls," he declared, "painted, dressed to kill, and very good looking," are being used by unscrupulous dealers, to the lasting detriment of Los Angeles. They specialize on the middle western tourists and retired farmers, he said, and smiles, dinners, and feminine wiles are their "selling talks." He urged that regulations be passed which will protect the real estate buyer from the menace of powdered noses, peek-a-boo waists, and trim ankles. Ex-Slave, 100 Years Old, Asks City For Aid ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 11 Albert Sidney Johnston, a negro, walked into the city hospital here and said that he was too old to work and had only $8. He said that he figured that if the city would care for him the $8 would about pay for his tobacco until his death. He was asked how old he was and replied that he was 38 when Buchanan campaigned for president. Buchanan was elected in 1856. The negro, by his reckoning, would be 100 years old. He appears to be that age, though except for general weakness and failing eyesight he is physically fit. Johnston says that he was the personal bodyguard of Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston, whose slave he was, in the civil war. When Gen. Johnston met death at Shiloh, the negro said he attached himself to Gen. Beauregard. He came to St. Louis about fifty years ago and worked at different times, he said, for wealthy families. Paraffin Tooth Spoiled Chance For Reenlistment SAN FRANCISCO.

Special Examiner A. L. Hibberd looked him all over, and then in his mouth, but everything looked all right, except that one tooth was a little out of line. Taking it in his fingers, Dr. Hibberd spoiled a perfectly good paraffin imitation tooth, and also spoiled the prospective applicant's chances of getting back in the service.
