HARD TIMES HIT CHRISTMAS.
One third Less Than Usual Spent ir
Germany.

00Ttuduys
Berlin, Dec. 1S.-The most conserva-
tive estimates place Germanys Christ
mas spendings at one-third less than a
year ago, as result of the economic
crisis. This decrease, however, is said
to be accompanied only by reduction
in value, indications showing that there
will be no diminution in volume. Mer-
chants declare that this Is conclusive
evidence that the hard times have af-
fectsd both the masses and the classes.
all of whom, while intent on perpetual
ing the traditional splendor Of the Ger
man holiday season, have found it nee
essary to indulge themselves on con-
siderably cheaper basis. August Tietz,
proprietor of Berlin's biggest depart
ment store, said:
Zone striking effect of the depression
has been the driving into the depart
ment stores Of class that has hitherto
scorned to deal outside high-priced spe-
cialty establishments. The increase Of
the shrunken purchases of regular pat
rons Speciality stores, however, enjoy
no such means of recovery. Costly goods
remain uncalled for. A demand exists
only for bargains, whether in diamonds,

their recruits for holiday time largely

EXPELLED FROM BOARD
Chicago Commission Firm Elk.
PEELED From Board OF Trade
on lowan's Complaint.
We're Accused of Withholding
Large Sum of Money Due
on Account.
Market Quotations Also Fur.
nished to Alleged Bucket
Shops.

Chicago, Dec 1S.-Arthur r. Jones
and Michael j. Ryan, composing the
firm of A. r. Jones & Co., were expelled
from the board of trade by the directors
yesterday. They were charged with
monumental conduct in not paying to
a customer the money due him, and
furnishing market quotations to alleged
bucket shops, contrary to the board g
rules. Levi C. Gearhart was suspended
for sixty days for making misrepre-
sensations to the board In securing a
market ticker for his own use when he
wanted it for a bucket shop.
The hearing in the Jones case lasted
until after O'Clock, and was surprise
to Jones, who expected to get off with
out a reprimand. Jones & Co. have
conducted a large commission business
on the board for about six years. Be-
fore entering the commission trade
Jones was railroad clerk. His firm
has a large number of branch Offices
turnout the west.
Jones and Ryan were charged by e.
p. Emerson of Cedar Rapids, Ia, audi
tor of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids q
Northern road, with monumental con-
duct, they having withheld $1,400 due
them from a credit of $3.700, due j. B..
East, another customer The charges
were preferred by Emersan thru Esch-
enburg & Dalton, another board of
trade mouse. In his defense Jones
claimed that Emerson and j. b. East
were the same, and that Emerson had
informed him to that effect. Emerson
and a number OF witness from Cedar
Rapids, testified that Jones had In
duced them to withdraw suit brought
in Iowa, promising that he would arbi-
trate his claim of 81, 400 as an offset to
the East credit. 1t is said that when
the suit was Withdrawn Jones refused
to arbitrate.
There were three counts in these
charges, and Jones was found guilty on
each, the directors holding that even
admitting that Emerson ard East were
one person, Jones had no right to put
one account against the other.
The most serious charge against the
firm was that OF furnishing market
quotations to bucket shops, the asser-
ton being made that its wire ran into
one of the most notorious bucket shops
in the country Arthur Jones when seen
after the decision was given out, said:
Our tickers were In our branch OFF,
ces, and we stood for them. l cannot
discuss the question fully now. 1t is an
outrage to expel me-"
Levi C. Gearhart, who was suspended
for sixty days. was punished for deceiv-
ing the market report committee by ap-
plying for a ticker for himself when it
was for an alleged investment company
and bucket shop.

SIX CLUB WESTERN LEAGUE.
That Is Its Only Salvation, Declares
Aickev and Tebeau.

That Is It's Only Salvation, Declares
Hickey and Tebeau.
Chicago, Dec. 10.-According to Presi-
dent Hickey, of the American Associa-
ton, and Manager Tebeau, of the Kan
sas City club in the same league, there
is nothing left for the Western League
but return to the elk club circuit. I'VE
have them beaten said President
Hickey, land the only way in which
these Western League men can save
themselves is to form a league with but
six clubs.
There is no use in their trying to
fight us in Milwaukee, Minneapolis or
st. Paul. The Western League is not
strong enough to cause the American
Association any trouble in any OF these
towns.
There was time when the Western
League made money when it had a cir
cult of only six clubs. Then some Of the
club ownersh thought they could do bet
ter by taking in a couple more cities.
That was done and 1t was found that
six Of the clubs made money and the
other two did not.
"In forming base ball league there
is no use in trying to make smaller
cities mix with the larger ones when the
population Of each is below certain
figure OF course this does not hold good
In cases like Milwaukee and Chicago.
Both of these cities are large. But to
try to make Kansas City mix with
some little town out on the plains Is a
different matter, and it will no work.

weeks. The potatoes come from SCOT
land, Ireland and Belgium. The potato
crop in these countries has been partlc-
ularly good, and the crop here the worst
this country has had for many years.
Many of the farmers in the last three
weeks refused to sell their potatoes for
love or money, and those that would sell
have been demanding as much as 50 a
barrel. That brought the price here TO
private consumers up to 81 and 30 at
time when potatoes are usually cheap.
1t was said Monday that few indi-
viduals had anticipated the action of the
formers, and early in November began
buying potatoes on the other side. Po-
tatoes abroad can be bought for 40 cents
3 barrel. There is duty of 20 cents a
busheL and this and other charges bring
the cost of potatoes from Europe on the
pier at New York to S1.70 a barrel. Inn
porters, according to reports, have been
cleaning up small fortunes. Recently.
on account of these increasing importa-
tons. the farmers began to show little
disposition to sell, and the price OF do
nestle potatoes has come down little,
but even now they range from 1925 to
$275.

plain that the legend Made in Ameri-

rs to such an extent that they are un-
able to sell even reputable makes of
French goods unless they represent
them as the output of Yankee factories.
French shcemakers are initiating
American shapes in French leather. The
Lyons silk manufacturers are adopting
bizarre patterns. Hatmakers are rev.

their fair customers they "cut their

Yankee shoes is too high to permit their

PLATT WILL SUE FOR LIBEL.

Washington Dec. 17.-William Allen
White, of Emporia Kas., author CT the
expression, Whats the matter with
Kansas which he used as the heading
on an editorial in a country newspaper
several years ago, has incurred the
wrath of Senator Thomas C. Platt. The
New Yorker said yesterday that he
would bring libel suits against Mr..
White and McClure's Magazine because
Of an article written by the Kansan,
which appeared in the current number
of the periodical
Mr.. White is great admirer OF Pres
ident Roosevelt, and is said to have the
executives ear in the matter of Kansas
patronage In writing of New York
politics he warmly praised the Presi-
dent and referred to the senator in very
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fashion. He des-
cribes Mr.. Platt as a loggyist. one
whose whole life has been devoted to
burrowlng and intrigue, as lacking in
patriotism and public spirit. dragging
down friends and foes alike to increase
his political power
II have made up my mind to enter
suit on account of the publication for
which this Mr. White is responsible
said Mr. Platt yesterday. II never
knew him, and am sure he does not
know me. Yet he seems to have con-
ceived deep dislike for me: There is
malice in every line of his so-called
biography. do not object to his prais-
ing the president, but l do object to
his defaming me for the purpose OF
adding to his praise. His article is
made up of tissue of lies. and all who
know me know that it is made up OF
lies / did not know until today that
this Mr.. White claims to be on friendly
intimacy with the president / do not
believe that the president would claim
friendship with man who would write

OF 10 cents per 1000 cubic feet. Speaking
OF the plan Mr.. Warram said:
THE request for the preparation Of an

for new natural gas company. but are
unwilling to come into the city under the

FOUGHT AT CHURCH SOCIAL.
Law Suit at Sheridan Results From the

Scrap.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell Dec 18.-Residents in the vi
cinity of Sheridan, a country postoftice
located thirteen miles north of Grinnell,
are somewhat stirred up over lawsuit
brought by Alfred Stiger against John
Decker. The suit is the result Of fra
cas- which occurred at a church soctable,
perhaps week ago.
Mrs. Decker is postmistress at the
country Office OF Sheridan. Stiger owns
the only hall in the precinct available
for entertainments on an extended scale.
Between the Decker and Stiger families
great social gulf has been created tnru
various chickering's and dissensions past
ard present. When 1t was decided to
hold church sociable of comparatively
huge dimensions Mr.. Stiger's hall was
secured. He made the rental conditional,
it is said, providing that the Decker
family be shut away from the festive
scene and not allowed In the hall. Mr..
and Mrs. Decker were there, however,
life size, and Mr.. Stiger, SO it is alleged.
took matters into his own hands and at
tempted to forcibly eject Mrs. Decker.
Mr.. Decker was hand by with an as
sortment of swift punches and pro-
ceeded to deliver the goods. Mrs. Deck
err remained, SO the story goes, and Mr..
Stiger went away bearing a marked re-
semblance to 80 cents. The suit is the
outcome of the undue sociability dis
played on the occasion Of the sociable by
Messrs. Decker and Stiger. and witness
es are being called from various parts,
one subpoena or warrant having been
carried into Madison county.

SCR[EY FILES PROTEST.
Bill OF Exceptions to Findings Of
the Court Of Inquiry
Filed Today.
Claim Is Made That Precept Did
Not Cover Journey 10
Cienfueeos.
Admiral Sampson Said to Be
Critically Ill and Probably
Near Death.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Schley. late
this afternoon, thru counsel, presented
to the secretary of the navy his bill of
exceptions to the findings of the major
ity of the court Of inquiry. The bill
claims the majority of the court gave
the opinion that Schley should have
proceeded with the utmost dispatcn off
Cienfuegos. when there was no specifi-
cation covering this point and without
giving the applicant an opportunity to
furnish evidence on it, The bill takes
each incident upon which the court
found against the admiral and points
cut wherein the court ignored the evil
dence submitted at the Inquiry, and
concludes with the statement that the
proceedings of the majority of the court
were irregular and that Schley's rights
have been prejudiced.
Admiral William T. Sampson is criti-
cally III and probably Will never again
leave his house on New Hampshire ave-
nue.. Every pleasant day since the ad-
miral and his family returned from the
mountains at the end of the summer
season he was able to take an afternoon
walk accompanied by Mrs. Sampson. On
Sunday he went out for the last time,
but found himself SO weak he was
obliged to return to the house without
finishing his walk
1t was learned Tuesday that Admiral
Sampson has not been cognizant of the
various features of the so-called Samp-
son-Schley controversy for year or
more. Until recently he has known in q
general way what has been going on,
but has taken no personal interest in the
case, not even while the court OF inquiry
was in session. He has displayed no IN
terest whatever in the findings.
Admiral SIMPSONS family and friends
are made painfully aware of the bitter
ness of the controversy by the receipt
in almost every mail of abusive letters
from unthinking Schley partisans In
various parts of the United States.
