tempted to serve the papers placed in
their hands by the United States cir
cult court of ST Louis, it was found
that these companies were not incor-
porated in this state and maintain
no offices in Iowa. The developments
indicate another clever scheme on the
part of the Standard to evade the anti
trust law. The names attached to the
subpoenas were H. NJ. Tilford N. s.

man Manufacturers in Need of Mon
ey to Carry on Extensive Under
takinss-skepticism Growing.

Berlin, Nov. 24.-Altho Germany is
on the top wave of prosperity, skepti-
cism as to the duration of the boom
has been increasing for several months
and the outside public has kept aloof
from speculative investments in in
dustrial stocks, Notwithstanding the
continued publication Of unusually
brilliant annual reports of the COM
panies, showing large gains and deelar-
ations of dividends and increases in
orders at higher prices for manufac-
turers' products
This sober attitude on the part Of
private investors is beginning to gain
the support of manufacturers and
bankers who being able to glance be-
hind the scenes of industrial activity,
express fears that the boom has all
ready exhausted itself. When asked to
give their reasons for this view, the
the dearness of money. high prices of
commodities, high wages and the ex-
pensive operations to which all indus
trial establishments have been COM
mitted. The industrial conditions are
everywhere admitted to be sound.
Every branch of manufacture is taxed
to Its utmost productive capacity, and
In the coal and iron Industries supplies
must be purchased in increasing guam
titles from abroad, chiefly from Great
britain, in order to make up def1cien-
cies at home. Mines and furnaces
0asve booked orders months ahead, but
they are unable to deliver the goods in
time The state railroads in the coal re-
gions are far from being able to
cope with traffic requirements.
Business activity in all directions
causes an unusual scarcity of labor.
production in coal and iron trades in
particular being kept down thru that
cause. Nevertheless both of these in
dustries are breaking all records.
Many coal and iron companies are
seeking additional capital to build new
plants or enlarge old ones, but most
enterprises of this description are de-
layed on account of dear money.
The general conclusion which seems
justified IN GermanyS industrial Sit
uation is that it is still thoroughly
sound, that prosperity will continue,
altho the rate of expansion may be de-
creased thru inability to obtain addi-
tional capital in view of the stringency
of the money market Bankers do not
expect Improvements in the money sit
uation after January l, which usually
follows the autumnal stringency. The
tendency is rather to expect a. contin-
ued stringency when compared with
previous years. Much depends upon de-
velopments in New York While great
er relief Is felt at the fact that the AM
erican demand for gold in London has
been relaxed, nobody here, 1t is as
serted, can feel certain the demand will
not soon be resumed and continued, on
the strength >of the view taken in the
United States Of the worlds economic
position.

their special train at noon accompan-
led by the Ames band and the foot
ball team. At o'clock the Ames
and Iowa bands gave concert on

people. From that time on the root

CARUSO APPEALS
Opera Singer Will Carry Case to High
er court-Believes Evidence Vindi-
Gated Him of the Charge.

New York, Nov 24.-The $40 fine
imposed upon Enrico Caruso. the
famous Italian opera singer, yesterday
after he had been declared guilty Of
annoying women in Central park, was
not paid today. One of his attorneys
had gone to court with the intention
of paying the fine under protest. The
money was about to be passed across
the clerks desk when Caruso's senior
counsel rushed into the court room
and brought the proceeding to a halt.
ConsuLta between counsel and court
followed, and it was agreed to permit
the matter to go over until Monday.
In the meantime Caruso has been pa
rolled in the custody of his counsel.
Caruso's counsel today reiterated the
announcement made yesterday that an
appeal will be taken.
II saw Caruso at his hotel today"
said the attorney, "and had him sign an
application for appeal. Caruso felt that
Magistrate Baker had treated him very
fairly during the hearing, and that his
character was being fully vindicated
1t was more than surprise to him
when he heard the court had found him
guilty. The shock was most terrible
to Caruso, who is a highly sensitive
man, particularly as he had firmly be-
lieved the testimony clearly exonerated
him."
Dissatisfaction was also expressed
hv tho a. aAtornav with the manner i'm
which Deputy Police Commissioner
Mathot insisted on the introduction OF
evidence which counsel for Caruso
claimed was not proper matter to come
before the court and which, he said,
was intro duced for theatrical effect and
to prejudice the public against defend
ant The expected appeal in the case
will be argued next Monday.
