NEAT is SO HIGH
Vienna Municipal Council Turns Its
Eyes Toward America.

Vienna. Jan. 23.-Owing to increasing
complaints from the public regarding
the exorbitant prices at which meat is
sold in Vienna the municipal council has
resolved to ask the government upon
what conditions it would permit the
importation of meat from America,
Argentina and Australia.
Up to the present time the govern
ment has objected to the introduction of
meat from transoceanic countries upon
general sanitary grounds. The ministry
of the interior has just issued an order
prohibiting the importation of frozen
beef from Argentina and Australia
coming to Vienna through London when
the beef is accompanied only by the
certificates of the English veterinary
surgeon. The importation of frozen
beef and pork direct from Australia is
prohibited also for important veterinary
and sanitary reasons. Pending further
Inquiries, the government is withhold
ing it's decision with regard to the i'm
portation of frozen beef direct from
Argentina and of frozen pork direct
from Canada.
It is considered probable that the gov
eminent may relax the stringency of
the present provisions in order to aid
the efforts of the municipal council to
procure cheaper meat for the people of
Vienna.

HAD DIAMONDS TO BURN
Alleged Thief Captured With
Sparklers Worth $4,000.

Minneapolis, MINI, Jan. 2S.-James
Walters alleged to be one of the most
successful diamond thieves in the
United States has been arrested here
by detectives as he was leaving for Chi
cago. More than $4,000 worth of dia-
monds were found in his possession
while he confessed to having disposed
of about $500 worth of stones in the
past three weeks. The specific charge
on which he is held is that of robbing
Baroness Helena Radzikwele of $4,000
worth of stones at the Colonial hotel in
San Francisco three weeks ago. With
Walters was William Kerry, a local
man, who kept the diamonds for him
while he was in the city, and who was
arrested while awaiting his companion
at union station.
Walters arrived in Minneapolis five
days ago and registered at the Ma
t1onal Motel as r. L. Stafford, of Sc
attic" He was plentifully supplied
with money After being arrested he
was subjected to vigorous examina-
ton, and finally admitted that a COM
pan1on knew where the stones were.
The officers found Kerry at the sta
ton. When Walters was confronted
with Kerry he confessed, telling where
he had stolen the jewels and where he
disposed of a number of them
Wrapped in a handkerchief was found
a diamond lizard studded with about
$50 stones and estimated at a value of
about $1,000; a Giiamond-tipped eornet
pin; a pearl and diamond necklace.
pearl and diamond breastpin, an opal
ring surrounded with 22 diamonds and a
pair of diamond studded cuff buttons
completed the collection, making about
$4,000 worth of stones. He has dis
posed of several diamonds in Mime
apoIis and within the past three weeks
sold $4,000 worth of stones in Tacoma,
Spokane and Seattle.
When the theft was discovered in San
Francisco, a general alarm was sent
throughout the country and the police
of every city have been on the outlook
for the thief

NATIONAL CHARACTER
Discussed by Prinston's President Be-
fore Outlook Club

New York, Jan. 23.-President Wood
row Wilson of Princeton university,
speaking on '.Americanism'' before the
Outlook club of Montclair, N. J.. dis
cussed at length the national character.
TT is hard to analyze the national
character" said he. "for when we con-
ceive of the American we think in
terms suitable to that part of the coun-
try where we ourselves live. We are to
be congratulated on our national SEN
timent, for we have very little section
alism. In spite of this we do not try to
be conventional and that is what makes
us what we are. Nobody but Ameri-
cans can understand what American
character is, and yet can we really I'M
derstand it ourselves?
1T took US one century to settle and
colonize this country; the next century
was spent in getting rid of the Dutch
and French; the third in establishing
the nation and settling the difficulties
between the north and the south, and
We now have things on a national basis
which does not seem at present to be
threatened by any catastrophe. It is
true that we have anarchy and so
cialism to deal with, but this is no evil
peculiar to us, for all nations have to
deal with them. We are still in the
flush of manhood, and we have future
ahead of us.
I'VE have entered the fourth century
of our existence with a big question
mark staring us in the face. We pride
ourselves on our political liberty, but
if what we call political liberty is found
in the cities 1t is a peculiar liberty.
We have now arrived at a time when
we must correct the evils that have
arisen in our governments, and there
are many of them, even if only in our
city governments. It is doubtful if the
makers of the constitution would recog-
nize it if they were to see it now, for
it certainly has been stretched. We

THE MAP is FILED.
Route of the Topeka s. Northwestern
Designated.

The Union Pacific railroad this
morning filed before the county COM
missioners a profile map of its new
proposed double track from Kansas
from that point to Marysvflle, kas.,
the Topeka & Northwestern, where
1t joins the main branch and makes
a straight run between Kansas City
and Denver, 100 miles less in length
than the present route.
The feature concerning the new
road is its effect upon the territory
which it traverses through Shawnee
county. After leaving Menoken, or
properly speaking. Cairo. few miles
west of Menoken, the route goes in
a northwesterly direction towards
Marysville and then out of the county
at the northwest corner of Rossville
township in section 2.
1t means a great deal to Silver Lake
and Menoken townships. That terri
tory has no immediate railroad points
just now, and the people living there
welcome the line.
At Rossville city and Silver Lake
city there is a different feeling towards
the line. Both of these places think
that it will detract trade from their
stores. While no protest has been
filed officially, the people are not at
all in sympathy with the building of
the line Should bonds be asked for,
they would receive a decidedly adverse
vote in both these towns. The Union
Pacific has, however, not asked for
bonds up to this time, and it is not
likely that the company will do SO.
The particular grievance which Sill
yer Lake city people entertain against
the line is that they fear that the
trade from the Indian reservation in
Jackson county will go to some new
town which is likely to be established
at some station along the new line in
the northern part of Silver Lake town
ship. Then, too, the farmers of that
township have been in the habit of
going to Silver Lake with their trade
while If a station is esta blished nearer
their homes than Silevr Lake, they
will naturally go to the new place.
The filing of the profile map gives a
decided tinge of surety that the road
Will be built. The Union Pacific has
already unloaded several cars of ties
just outside of North Topeka and these
are probably for the double track.
Everything indicates that work will
commence at once.
