The Daily News says:

There is no quarter from which q manis

German Comment
BERLIN, August 2S-The cars note

cyr'ically A high official OF the war Of
flee observed that 1t would be good topic
for dull season."
If tho conference met there was no doubt
that France would demand the return OF
Alsace-Lori sine.
All politicians are inclined to sheer at
such proposal emanating from Russia.
The general belief is, however, that all the
powers are wiring to attend the conference
in the belief that it will prove fruitless,
looking to The impossibility Of agreement.
italian Opinion
ROME, August 29.-The belief here il
that the car first obtained Austrian and
German assent to the conference. The
papers admit the extraordinary Importance
Of the document and pay tribute to the
humanita rian motives. The Tribuna
thinks Germany and Italy will consent but
France will disapprove of her aily's action.

that the conference will assemble because
the car would not have nsked a refusal.
1t believes. however, that the aspiration IL

The Gaulois thinks the proposal natura;
one from Russia because the immense
armament imposed upon her is the prin-
cipal obstacle to her development. The

AUF NOCH
KLONDIKE.
Party of 4S Germans Leave
New York City
In Arctic Attire Bound For the
KIOndike.
SANG GERMAN SONGS
AS They Marched Through New
York Streets
SANG GERMAN SONGS
And Carried an Immense Ban
ner With an Inscription.

New York. Feb. A party of 48 Ger
mans, mechanics, from New York,
Brooklyn, Newark, Paterson, Hoboken
and other nearby towns, left for Seat
tie in special car last night on their
way to the KIondike
In the party are carpenters, shoe
makers, brewers, cooks and taiIors.
Peter Schammen organized the party
and has charge of it, Each man who
Joined put up $500 in cash, which pro-
vides his ticket through to Circle City
and provisions enough to last him nine
months after arrival in the place. Their
friends said good bye to them at an east
side saloon, and 1000 persons thronged
the streets in the neighborhood. There
was much singing and jollification. AS
the hour for the departure approached
the members piled into three big brew
cry wagons, and the journey began.
The first wagon carried an immense
banner inscribed" :"Auf Noch Klondike.' -
The men were dressed in big fur over
coats, caps, leggings and each one car
ried a rife and had a revolver strapped
to his belt. Their war like appearance
contrasted with their jolly manner, for
as they passed through the streets they
all sang in German the songs of the
FatherIand.
The mems ages range from 25 to 40
years, and they are all vigorous, healthy
looking fellows. Their strong, deep
voices made the streets ring with their
songs.

LEEDY SAYS IT,S TRUE.
He Didn't Answer Ben Henderson's
Letters and Doe:n't Care Who
Knows It

In reference to the attack made on
him by Ben Henderson and Rev. Geo.
P. Dougherty of Kansas City, Governor
Leedy said today:
what Henderson said about writing
me letters which I did not answer is
true. He wrote me several letters that
1 did not answer. There are some men
that I would be ashamed to go to a dog
fight with, and it is unnecessary for me
to say that 1 would not enter into cor
respondence with them. If the State
Temperance union had addressed to me
the substance of what was in Hender-
sons letter, 1 would have answered and
answered gladly and willingly.
LAS to Rev. Mr.. Dougherty's charges
I don't care to say anything. The peo-
pie of Kansas City, Kan, know that
what he says is untrue. He charges, as
I understand it, that the fines. collected
in Kansas City, Kan, are to be used
by me as a campaign fund. The truth
is that when MOrrill'S commissioners in
Kansas City, Kan, went out of office
they left an indebtedness of $14, 900. Our
commissioners have not only paid ex-
penses as they have done, but have
turned into the city treasury over 81, coo.
This seems to be a change in our favor
of S21, 600, and, in view of this fact, it is
unnecessary to take any further notice
of Mr.. Dougherty's remarks. The peo-
pie down there know Mr.. Dougherty
and anything he may say will throw no
discredit either on the commissioners
or on the administrations

one summer would cost more than any
dog is worth.
The Burt party of eight from Du-

other parties passing through today
were the Button and Fenski parties,

RELICS OF BABYLON.
DR.. HiIprecht of Philadelphia, Makes
Valuable Discoveries.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 4.-The Rev
DR.. Herman V. HiIprecht, professor of
Assyrian and comparative Semitic phil
osOphy at the University of PennSyIva-
MIA has Just returned home from Con-
stantinOple, where for several months
past he has been engaged in the reor-
ganization of the Babylonian section of
the Imperial Museum of Turkey He
examined $50 cases of sarcophagi, pot
terry, antiquities, both gold and silver,
and statues, and some 13 900 cuneiform
tablets were included.
Among these tablets are number of
the greatest Importance, which present
a peculiar shape. differing from those of
a later time and going back to the fifth
millennium B. c., which can be proven
on archaeological and photographer
evidence, and these may be regarded a s
the grounds of the latest results.
Among other points which are set at
rest by the deciphering of these tables
is the conclusion which AssyriOlOgists
had arrived at upon other grounds, that
Darius lived after and not before Ar
taxerxes.
Most of the Jews carried away by
Nebuchadnezzar were settled in the
neighborhood of Nippur, and Professor
Hflprecht has found a large number of
Jewish names in these cuneifOrm tab
lets which are identical with those
characteristic of the time of Ezra and
Nehemiah.
These and other Investigations will
largely contribute to a correct under
standing of these two Biblical books.

SAILS SKYWARD.
Stock of the Great Northern
Railroad Goes Up
In Such a Manner as to Create
Comment.
STILL UNEXPLAINED.
Stories of Union Pacific Deal
With 1t
Said to Be Responsible for Rise
in Stock.
STILL UNEXPLAINED.

New York, Feb. 4.-The Tribune says
the stock of the Great Northern rail-
road showed unusual strength Thurs
day and the preferred made the import
ant gain of II points in the course of
the day.
This rise was accompanied by var
ious rumors about possible changes in
the road that would increase it's earn
ings and make the stock more vaIua-
BILE.
One of the stories was to the effect
that James J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern, and Jacob J. Schih of
the Union Pacific reorganization com
mlttee, had held various conferences,
and that the development in which both
roads would participate might be look
ed for.
Henry w. Cannon, president of the
Chase National bank and a director in
the Great Northern, when asked about
the report that some change was ex-
pected in the Great Northern, replied:
You can say coming from me, that
there is no plan for any immediate
change in the Great Northern. I mean
by that, not this week, nor next week,
or next month. OF course cannot
delve far into the future"
How do you account for this sudden
rise in the stOck?" Mr.. Cannon was
asked
Il suppose it can be traced to specu-
Hill is here now and reports things to
be in excellent shape. He has not pur-
chased a share of stock since he has
been here. The property is doing well.
It is about the only stock of a western
road that has not gone up in the last
year or so, and owing to its excellent
condition and splendid promise, I sup
pose it is considered a good investment.
There is absolutely no plan perfected
for any radical change in the affairs of
the road There were various rumOrs
affoat in Wall street in the course of
the day. but so far as know none of
them had any foundation
Whatever there may be in the rumors
about a closer agreement or possibly of
union with the Union Pacific, it was
learned from another trustworthy
source that a plan is under cOnsidera-
ton which contemplates the retire
ment of the collateral trust bonds of the
company amounting to SIS, ,O0O and
the company also guarantees interest
on bonds of subsidiary companies
amounting to $40, 1926 900.

"DA MON'SEPARATES THEM
The Somewhat Noted "Karookises''
Are in Trouble Once More.
Then comes the Tug Of War"


Louie Charowhas, the Greek, who
keeps a fruit and candy store at 500
Kansas avenue, has sued his brother
George CharoWhas, who is proprietor
of a fruit and candy store at 8081A Kan
sas avenue. He claims that his BROTH
er owes him $135. The case has been
filed in Justice Chesney's court and viii
come up for hearing Monday, but VIII
probably be continued.
Six years ago George Charowhas
kept a place at 724 Kansas avenue. He
was arrested for selling Intoxicating lie
QuOrs. His brother Louie furnished
a $500 bond for his release. George
CharOwhas soon disappeared and was
gone from Topeka four years. The
bond which Louie CharoWhas furnished
was forfeited and he had to pay in all
$135. When his brother returned to
Topeka two years ago Louie tried to
get his money. But he failed. Now
he will seek the courts of iustfce. To-
day he talked freely of the case; eS-
pecially was he free with Greek words.
He said: when George sella fska and

When the case comes to trial it will
be necessary to have an Interpreter for
the Charowhas brothers as neither OF
them speak English so that it can be
understood well.

ever means may be required by events
I am investigating the existing

by several Japanese newspapers? ?''
"FVerV nation the marquis replied,

commerce.

GERMANY RELENTs.
Order Against American Fruit is
Slightly Modified.

Berlin, Feb. At is announced that
the bundesrath in plenary sitting has
approved its committee proposal that
a decree should be issued prohibiting
the importation from America of live
plants and shrubs and packages con-
tanning the same.
The decree will also, within a certain
measure, affect American fruits. These
are to be examined by experts on their
arrival at German ports; the packages
found to be infected with the fruit louise
will be excluded. Instructions to this
effect will be issued to the customs
authorities.
This announcement, which is made
by an official agency, appears to indl-
cate a measure distinct from the decree
issued on Tuesday by DR.. MIGUEL, the
Prussian minister of finance, prohibit
ing the importation of every kind of
American fresh fruit, but it is difficult
to ascertain the exact details. The
bundesrath's measure, it is pointed out.
is far less stringent than similar meas
ures at present enforced IN individual
states of the American union"
The Associated Press learns that the
Hamburg authorities today permitted
the unloading of apples from the Uni
ted States owing constructions received
from Berlin as the result of the pro-
tests of the United States Ambassador
White against DR.. N1iquels decree.
London, Feb. 4-The Berlin CORES
pondent of the Times says:
Customs officials at Emmerech, ,Rhin-
ish Prussia, received teIegraphic in
structions on January 80 from Dr. Mi
quel, the Prussian minister of finance
to stop the importations of fresh fruits
from America. The Hamburg senate
issued a similar order on the following
day.
Protests against the latter have Sc
cured from the Hamburg senate per-
mission, firstly, for further export of
consignments to England and secondly,
for consignments of American apples
that have already reached Germany to
be delivered to those to whom they are
addressed.
1.-The subject occupied teh attention of
the budersrath Thursday when it was
decided that importation of fresh fruit
is only forbidden when the same is dis
covered to contain plant bug. The
prohibition does not extend to dried
fruits; but the Importation of wind
falls packing material and plant is al
together forbidden
''The general indignation aroused is
due perhaps less to the commercial
losses that might ensue, inasmuch as
American fruits bear relatively a small
proportion to the total fruit import.
