KAIMER’S DEATH
MAY COME SOON
LONDON, April 25.—The Morning
Post gives prominence to a dispatch
from its Washington correspondent,
who cables a report given on the au
thority of German bankers in Ameri
ca who are on most intimate terms
with the German Government that the
German Emperor is fatally 111 with
Bright’s disease. Death is expected
within the next few months.
The Emperor, according to the cor
respondent's informant, has for some
months past been in depths of de
pression. The efforts of his physici
ans to encourage and rally him have
been unsuccessful, and the disease has
so completely fastened itself upon him
that recovery is Impossible. The cor
respondent adds:
"With his death, according to the
German bankers, the house of Hohen
zollern will lose the throne of Ger
many the crown prince being known
to be a moral degenerate, and the Ger
man people could not accept him as
their soverign. Either Germany will
become a republic or a limited con
stitutional monarchy, the real power
being excercised by a parliament elect
ed by universal franchise, t is the
opinion of the German bankers, know
ing the conditions existing in Ger
many, and the temperament of the
people, that unless there should be a
sudden uprising, which they do not
expect, a constitutional monarchy
rather than a republic would be the
outcome.
COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER
FAILURE OF “MIRACLES.”
COLUMBIA, Miss.. April 25.—
Chagrined over their failure to work
miracles, Steve Reagon and his wife,
Lucy, devout members of the Holy1
Rollers sect, committed suicide here
last week.
Reagon produced a rattlesnake in |
a Holy Roller meeting Monday night
and announced to the congregation
that the rattler would not bite him
because he was sanctified. The snake
evidently backslidden or was not post
ed as to the part it was supposed to
play, for when tormented by Reagon
it drove its fangs into his flesh twice,
and had to be pried apart from his
anatomy, it took two doctors four
hours to save Reagon's life.
Mrs. Reagon brooded over the fail
ure of her husband's “miracle,” and
took poison and died. A few hours
later Reagon, convinced of his failure
as a snake charmer, killed himself
jl,y the same method.
.CANADA FIT WHEAT
ON THE FREE LIST
OTTAWA. Out.. April 25. —The
government has placed wheat,
wheat flour and Semolina on the free
list, thus opening United States mar
kets to Canada and Canadian mar
kets to the United States in these pro
ducts.
Under the reciprocal clause of th‘>
American tariff, the United States w*U,
admit free wheat and wheat products
• of any country which admits Ameri
can wheat without duty. The Cana
dian tariff has hitherto denied this
privilege.
The order is due to difficulty of
export abroad owing to shortage of
ocean tonnage and the fact that the
British market has been virtually
closed for Canadian wheat of lower j
grade. j
The duties removed are 10 cents a
bushel on wheat and 40 cents a barrel
on flour.
ARMY OF MEXICO TO
BE RE-ORGANIZED
MEXICO CITY, April 26.—It has
been announced here that a reorgan
ization plan will be placed in effect
in the Mexican army. By this plan the
army corps of the north, southeast,
east and southwest will be abolished
•,ud the army redivided into divisions
and brigades. This will tend to bring
the army units more closely under the
direct orders of the secretary of war.
The pay of the Mexican soldiers has
been increased so that privates now
receive about fifty cents a day. Out of
his pay the Mexican soldier must feed
himself.
