JUNKERS PUSHING
FIGHT ON HOLLWEG
Organ Says Kaiser Must Elim
inate Chancellor if He
Would Save His
Throne.
Copenhagen (Via London), May 2.
The Germania, organ of the clerical
party, indicates that Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg docs not intend to
make a statement with regard to
peace terms before the ' Reichstag,
having finally decided that it was in
advisable at the present time.
' Meanwhile the conservatives are
growing more desperate as the work
of the constitutional revision commit
tee proceeds without any intervention
from the government to dam the
wave of reform which threatens the
political influence of the junkers.
"Where is Hindenburg to raise the
fallen kaiser's banner again and de
fend the rights of the throne?" cries
Prince Zu Salm-Horstmar in the
' Prussian House of Lords. The prince
is president of the German Naval
league and one of the war horses of
the conservative old guard.
The South German Gazette, the or
gan of the south German cftnserva
tives, suggests sending a deputation
to the emperor to warn him that his
throne is in danger unless he dis
misses Von Bethmann-Hollweg.
The suggestion is taken up by the
Kreuz Zeitung, representing the Prus
sian junkers and the military aristoc
racy, the Deutche Zeitung and the
Refchsbote.
Other conservative papers echo the
cry that the Hohenzollern throne is
tottering unless a new chancellor
comet to suppress the reform move
ment with an iron hand. In spite of
all Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg still
seems very strong and there is no in
dication that the emperor's confidence
in him is seriously shaken.
Burglar, Surprised in Act,

As Edward Criss, 1901 South Thir-1

of his home at 10:30 Friday night, a
negro prowler entered the back door.
Criss hurried to the kitchen and the
two men grappled. Around the room
they swung, knocking chairs and other
furniture over. The intruder wrested
free and ran away. '
"He was a powerful fellow," said
Criss, who is nursing facial and bodi

Britain Serves Warning

necessary to carry it abroad were not
available, they reduced their holdings
and by force of circumstances took a
handsome speculative profit.
They contracted tor delivery ot
further wheat in July and September
and the status of their deals in these
months is not definitely known, save
that they already have a-big profit on
paper in both options.
Does Not Stop Speculation.
The elimination of May contracts
by no means eliminates speculation in
grains. The action of the board,
while not interfering with the free
dom of contracts on the part of either
individuals or governments, compels
those requiring wheat for immediate
consumption to make purchases from
farmers or grain dealers rather than
through the medium of a contract for
future delivery on the noor ot tne ex

Taxation of parcel post packages
was advocated by representatives of

The cent a pound tax and higher
duty on coffee was assailed by Frank
R. Seelye of Chicago, president of
the National Coffee Roasters' associ

stead and declared many large retail

chain stores would escape the pro
posed tax. Lower retail coffee prices
because of a prospective large crop,
probably the greatest in the world's
history, were predicted by Seelye.
Representing interurban electric

WHAT REASONABLE

Attorney General Reed Has
Real Puzzling Question Put
Up to Him From Thurs

CAKCJNAI FASUsSV
Considerable concern for Cardinal
Farley has been felt as a result of the
reports that he has been compelled to
undergo an operation. These reports,
coupled with his age and the fact that
for several weeks his health has not
been of the best, has caused some
anxiety. The exact nature of the
operation has not been made public.
It is said tj have been for abscess.
outdoor advertising interests. The
tax, he asserted, discriminates against
poster interests, by exempting news
paper and magazine advertising.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., May 12. (Special.)
Will some good tried and true patriot
who knows what a- "reasonable
amount" of liquor is as set forth in
the new prohibition law, inform the
attorney general of Nebraska, so he
can answer correspondence received
covering that question.
Mr. Reed, , not being an imbiber,
does not consider himself competent
to judge. He said today that in his
opinion it would depend a great deal
on the age of an individual. Using
the insurance tables, a man 25 years
of age would naturally be expected to
live longer than a man 50 or 75 years
of age and therefore it would require
more liquor because ot the longer
duration of life.
The county attorney of Thurston
county writes that there is a certain
farmer in that country who since
April 27 is said to have stored in his
home 150 gallons of whisky and
twenty-six barrels of beer. He de
sires to know if that may be consid
ered a "reasonable" amount under the
law.
The attorney general is willing to
admit that it would be plenty for him,
but it might not even be a "reason
able" amount for some other people.
