It Is Due And Shippers Won- der What It Will Likely Be. Ottawa, June. 30.--The coming Into effect on July 7th of Crow's Nest rates on eastbound wheat and flour will be preceded, it is expected, by a general order on freight rates other than wheat and flour, by the Railway Commission... A heavy ae- crease in freight rates generally is due to come into effect on Saturday unless the railway commission is- sues a further order. This decrease, unless the commission otherwise de- termines, will be 25 per cent. in eastern territory and 20 per cent. in western. It represents the balance of the last big increase granted in September, 1920. At that time, fol- lowing the Chicago labor award, the Railway Commission made a de- crease in freight rates of 40 per cent. in the east and 35 per cent. in the west. Of that increase, fifteen per cent. has already been struck off, and, as the order of September, 1920, expires on July 1st, the re- mainder will lapse on Saturday, bringing into effect the heavy de- crease indicated, unless the commis- sion Issues a further order. Claims Eastern Canada Is Narrow-Minded Winnipeg, Jure 30.--A charge of narrow-mindedness was levelled ac Canadians generally, and at those of the eastern provinces particularly, by Sir William Schooling of London, England, in an address to the Rotary Club here, : 'One is struck with the liimted outlook of the people of Quebec," Sir Willlam declared, "when one lands in Canada. The outlook ig not even provincial; it is parochial. "As one ccmes west to Montreal, Torontor and Ottawa, -the point of view changes, but it always appears to be so limited in scope." TARIFF FOR TITLES. Morning Post Claims to Possess Evidence to This Effect. London, June 30.--The Morning Fost, in the course of a leading edi- torial on 'The State of Honors," says it possesses evidence that persons who, in the words of Lord Selborne, "unknown and in the dark, do this dirty work for the ministry," ap- proach strangers with proposals to buy honors, and says there is even a regular tariff for honors. The price of knighthood, the Post says, ranges from £10,000 to £12,000, and a bar- onetcy js.scheduled at £30,000 to £40,000 ors are proportionately greater, SUE NEWSPAPERS Action Against Those Printing | { False Story of Purchasing | | of Gland. | Chicago, June $0.--Intention to sue for libel those newspapers which | | said he had purchased a gland from | {another man and grafted it into his {body, was announced by Harold F. | McCormick, in a statement to a Chi- cago Tribune representative. While not relishing any of the publicity attendant upon his recent {Visit to the hospital, Mr. McCormick |is considerably incensed at the re- ported stories that he had taken ad- vantage of the unfortunate circum- stances of a fellow man to deprive him of a vital organ. This is utterly untrue, according to Mr. McCormick, When the rumor first became cur- rent, Dr. Victor Lespinasse, who at- tended Mr. McCormick in the hospi- tal, issued a categorical dental. This denjal was printed by some but not all of the newspapers which had printed the original story. Other counts in the contemplated libel suit probably will include charges of telephone tapping, invas- ion of his sick room, the surrounding of his house and trespass upon his Property. "Obviously, I do not want to make any money by the proposed suit," sald Mr. McCormick, "but I know of no other way to protect myself from |the persecution which I have been suffering in a matter entirely per- sonal to myself."
