Particulars in War; Cases.

Judge Graves arrived this morning
and heard a motion of c. j. Searle. of
counsel for defendant, to compel the
state to set out in greater detail the
facts on which the indictments
against !. W. War; were founded.
The court overruled as to all of the
II cases except one. This is the in
dictment covering the embezzlement of
S27 900 from the Moline Building &
Savings association. of which War;
was secretary. As to this case the
motion of Mr.. Searle was sustained,
The state then asked time in which to
prepare its bill of particulars. This
will be a tedious proceeding and will
necessitate a complete resume of the
books and records of the association.
The request of the state was granted,
but no time for the filing of the bill
of particulars was fixed. Judge
Graves decisions on the motions for
reduction of bail and change of venue
are reserved pending the filing of this

CLAIMS HELD NULL
Ruling Against Promoters in Suit
Against Mississippi Trac-
ton Company.
ARE UNABLE TO SHOW STOCK
Demurrer of Defendant Sustained
Particulars in Only One
War; Case.

The contention that F. y. Keator
and L. P. Hord are not stockholders
in the Mississippi Valley Traction
company was sustained in a decision
on demurrer of the defendant in
the circuit court this morning by
Judge Ramsay.
KeatOr and Hord were the promo
ters of the Moline. East Moline & Wa
tertown Railway company. They
spent their own money, it is related,
in securing right of way and other
concessions along the line adopted
for the construction of the interur-
ban. When it came time to build they
were in need of finances. These were
advanced by Josiah Hale, an eastern
capitalist, and others.
The promoters. according to the
agreement. were to receive So, ZOO in
stock in the company as remunera-
ton for their services. When the
road was completed it passed into the
hands of c. III. Deere and other Moline
capitalists. Keator and Hord asked
for their stock certificates and they
were denied them.
The line was thereafter absorbed
by the Mississippi Valley Traction
company. The promoters brought
suit to have the deal annulled on the
ground that they, as stockholders,
were not consulted in the negotia
tions, the real purpose of which, it
was alleged, was to sqeeze them out
of the company. The defendant de-
,,,1,rrad 70 tho hill boIdiuU that rs
Keator and Hord could not show that
they were stockholders in the COM
pany they had no standing in a court
of equity, in which view the court
coRcurred. The complainants will
now probably amend their bill or take
an appeal.

Germans Know Better.

Anxiety is very acute IN Germany
over the Tariff agitation in England.
The belief is spreading that Mr..
Chamberlain's fcal policy will
eventually triumph and a gloomy
view Is taken of the consequences
to German trade and industry. a
renewed impetus has been given to
the old project of commercial war
between the nations of Continental
Europe. The notion, so frequently
advanced by our Tariff reformers,
that the consumer pays the tax, is
not INDUCED by German merchants
They know that if Great Britain
puts on duties, they will have to
bear the expense in order to retain
the market, so they regard Cham
berlain's proposals as implying a
vast transfer of German profits to
the British treasury, and the ques-
ton with them is whether German
trade can bear the burden.-Pitts

The Farmer and Canadian Pro-
duCe.

Before the American farmer en-
lists 10 march under a banner in
scribed "Free Trade with Canada"
he ought to find out what kind of a
trade he is going to make ulti-
mately.
Here it is. We, the people of
Canada, over 5,coo, 900 in number,
all subjects of Great Britain, here
by agree to buy from YOU Ameri-
cans such articles Of commerce as
we are obliged to have. Provided
that you will sell as cheaply as we
can buy of other nations where the
standard of living is below that Of
your people, and where wages are
one half less. Not having any
large cities or good market places
of our own, we will further agree to
send annually to the large American
cities situated near our borders at
least $1,000, 900 bushels of wheat,
1000, 900 bushels of barley, 5000,
900 bushels of potatoes, 20, 900, 900
bushels of oats and 5oo,o 900 head of
cattle, and very large supply Of
poultry and dairy products, and il
the American farmer desires more
competition, we will agree to
double the supply in less than fiv
years. Of course this will require
the cultivation of some Of the land
recently bought by American specu
lators, and we will have no doubt
but what they will be glad to sell il
to homeseekers, for it certainly will
double in value as soon as the treaty
is agreed to by both nations.
There are fifteen persons in the
United States to one in Canada. 1t
takes people to make markets.
Therefore, the reciprocity trade We
are asked to make is: Let me int
your market with one person in it,
and l will let you into ours witt
fifteen in it. In other words, we
would trade fifteen good customer.
for one poor one. Besides, thai
one customer produces nothing tina,
we cannon produce ourselves -

One of the Reasons

January is always month Of
heavy governmental disbursements,
and this year these have been very
large. The result is a deficit of
SO, 7S4, IS3 between receipts and
expenditures. This does not mean
that there is any immediate danger
of Uncle Sam becoming financially
embarrassed, but it does emphasize
the need of all the revenue he can
collect under the present laws.
And that is one of many sound
reasons for standing pat" on the

worth to change it. Business
