The brewers of that country require 560,500 cwt. annually, according to the govern ment's figures. This year, with the English hop crop only 250.000 to 300, 000 cwt., there will be import require ments of 285,500 cwt., taking an aver age of all estimates. The German crop and brewery needs are about equal this year, so the English beer manufac turers will have only the small Amer ican surplus to help them out. There is, however, somewhere- in the world a surplus of a few hundred thousand hundredweight that was. carried over from last year. This is probably so widely distributed that it will not help the English brewers much. HEIR ELOPER IS WANTED MOTHER - IX - LAW IS TRAILING BUSCH - AS BIGAMIST. Continued 'rom Flrwt Page.)

Following six weeks of constant and secret search, extending from Seat. tie across the continent to New York City, by Government and state officials, the pretty little romance of Miss Dor othy M. Meyer, a popular Seattle girl, with John "Busch," supposed heir-apparent to the Busch millions of St. Louis, and reputed millionaire of Vic torla, B. C, received a cruel Betback today when the mother, Mrs. J. H. Meyer, swore out a warrant charging her aon-ln-law with bigamy. An elopement to Victoria with "Busch"; a second marriage in this city, June 27, in the German Lutheran Church at the request of the mother a five months' honeymon abroad, ter minating In a bungalow at San Diego, Cal.; these were the unusual features of the romance which attracted wide attention on the Pacific Coast. Trouble began when Mrs. Meyer failed to receive answers to letters addressed to her daughter, and on August 4, less than 40 days after tha second wedding, the Government and state officials were asked to investi gate. The probe resulted in the charge made by Mrs. Meyer before Justice Brown accusing her son-in-law of bigamy. Subsequent investigations disclosed Information today that Mr. and Mrs. '"Busch" are on the steamship Titan, bound for Argentine Republic, where the long arm of the extradition can not reach. "Busch" has attracted considerable notoriety. It Is asserted he was known as the "Anheuser Kid." His first wife is believed to reside in Portland, Or., and his rightful name, instead of being "Busch," is said to be "Bush Miller.
