WARNING FROM CHICAGO.
VISIT MAY BE CANCELLED.
(Rec. 7.10 p.m.) Ottawa, April IS. The Toronto Star nays that on Thursday the Australian and New Zealand boys touring Canada and the United States received an anonymous letter and telephone calls warning them not to visit Chicago. Major Simmons, who is in charge of the party, said he was inclined to treat the matter as a joke, but some people responsible for the tour viewed it in a different light. Major Simmons now says that the warnings might cause the cancellation of the visit.-—Australian Press AssociationUnited.
