GERMANY ENTERS A PROTEST
Declares United States Treats Her
Manufactures UnfairIy-WiIl
Prepare for Tariff War
BY Assocla ted Press.


BERLIN, June 21.-At a meeting of
the Central Associa tion of German
Manufacturers, embracing most of the
great manufacturing organizations of
the country. held at Nuremburg yes
terday the general secretary, Herr
Bueck, referring to the trade arrange
ments with the United States, said the
association supported the temporary
extension of the treaty duties to the
United States, because German indus
try at this moment was not sufficiently
prepared for tariff war with the
United States.
A continuance of the situation Gre
ated by the temporary arrangement,
however, would be irreconcilable either
with the trade economic interests or
dignity of the German empire.
The general secretary felt II neces-
sary, therefore, TO worn German indus
try to prepare i'm good time for a tariff
war which would be unavoidable If the
United States thinks 1t can continue
treating German goods unfairly.

FIRE WORKS END
IN FIERCE FIGHT
Accused Man Denies All But Giving
Foreigner a Beating for Having
Too Much Fun With
PyrotechnIcs

With his face badly bruised and his
arm wounded by a bullet, which, he
says, is the result of premature cele-
bration of the Fourth of July, an uni
Identified Greek appeared last night at
the police station and demanded that
he be allowed to swear out a warrant
for the arrest of those he alleges are
responsible for his injuries. 3 The in
juries were received during the early
part of Wednesday night. but the af-
fair was not reported by the Greek
until after he had received medical at
tentiol from his physician.
The Greek told the officers that he
was having some fun with fireworks in
front of the grocery store owned by
j. S. Cox & Co. and that the people
in charge of the store resented the
action. He said that after he had been
beaten by j. w. Thurman, son-in-law
of Cox, the latter shot him in the arm.
He wanted to swear out a warrant,
but was advised to drop the case, for
there was proof that he had caused
the disturbance.
Tells of Disturbance
Mr.. Fuhrman was seen last night at
the grocery store, 432 East First street.
where he works, and said of the dis
turbance:
THE Greek, whose name I do not
know, lives over our store. He hangs
around the grocery next door west
Last night about o'clock he paraded
up and down the sidewalk shooting off
lunches of firecrackerS. swinging
them from the end of a string.
HE procured the fireworks next door
and I think out of pure spite he tried
to swing them into some fireworks that
were strung in front of our store and
set them off, We paid no attention to
him for awhile.
Mrs. Cox and my wife were stand
ing in front of the store. The Greek
went to his room upstairs and, after
lighting a bunch of firecrackers, threw
them down upon the heads of the wo-
men. L naturally resented this.
Uses His Fists
"The Greek came downstairs again
and procured more crackers and again
swung them near the ones in our store.
1 could not stand 1t any longer and
beat him in retaliation. 1 did not hear
anyone fire a shot"
All the people in the store denied
hearing any shots fired. e. T. Mead
of the store next door west
of the Cox store, said that he heard
a noise that might have been shot
or might have been a large firecracker
exploding.

WOULD DESTROY
ALL THE TRUSTS
Nebraskan States Views Clearly at
Trondhjem, Norway, in Which
City He Arrived
Yesterday
By Associa ted Press.

BY Associa ted Press.
TRONDHJEM, Norway, June 21.-
Taking for his text the statement that
he was being described as a conserva-
tive. William j. Bryan, who has just
arrived here said today:
Il am not responsible for the phrases
used in regard to me, but 1 am re-
sponsible for my position on public
questions. That position ought to be
well known.
Take the trust question for instance
as it seems uppermost just now. My
position IS that private monopoly is in
defensible and intolerable. That was
the Democratic platform in 1900, and
the plank was Incorporated in 1904, and
1t is the only tenable position.
There is some talk of controlling the
trusts. You might as well talk of con-
trolling burglary. We do not say they
shall steal only little bit, but that
they shall not steal at all. 1t is so of
private monopoies.
Trusts Must Be Destroyed
''It is not sufficient to control or regu-
late them-they must be absolutely and
totally destroyed. Corporations should
be controlled but private monopoles
must be exterminated, root and branch.
Now, you can call that a radical doc
trine. Yet it is more conservative to
apply this remedy now than to wait
until predatory wealth has by its law
less wealth brought odium on legitimate
accommodations.
What used to Re called radical is
now called conservative, because people
have been Investigating. The doctrine
has not yet changed, but public senti-
ment is making progress"

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-Adolph
Weber must hang for the murder of his
mother in the spring of 1904 The su-
preme court of the state today rem
dered decision sustaining the verdict
and confirming the Judgment of the
Placer county supreme court in Auburn
which in January, 1905, found the young
man guilty and sentenced him to pay
the death penalty.
Weber killed his mother, father, sister
and brother. He shot them at night in
their home at Auburn and then set fire
to the house to destroy the evidence Of
his crime.
At the time he was just 20 years old
His motive seems to have been the an
inhalation of the members of his fam
lily that he might receive their estate.
subsequently he did receive the entire
estate, which was valud at about $780,
OO0
Also Charged With Robbery
Weber was also charged with the
robbery of the Placer County bank.
Gold stolen from that institution was
found buried in the Weber barn.
The condemned man is at present
canfined in the Placer county Jail.
The opinion of the supreme court,
written by Associate Justice Henshaw,
holds that the motive for the murder
had been clearly established, it having
been shown that Weber would be the
only person to profit by the death of his
relatives.
Chief Justice Beatty wrote dissent
ing opinion in which he declared that
the evidence on which Weber had been
convicted was purely circumstantal
and that he had not been given suffi-
cient opportunity to refute evidence of
Pawnbroker Carr, who swore that he
sold Weber the revolver which was
found under the Weber barn after the
murder.

Her House-CaIIs Detective
and Man Is Now in
Jail

After many weeks of constant pur-
suit the bold daylight burglar who has
caused the police much trouble was
captured yesterday by Detective Charles
Foster. Martin Gall, representing him
self to be rug cleaner, has been iden-
titled as the man who has frequently
entered houses during the daytime and
made away with any valuables that
might be easy to obtain.
Mrs. George Bugbee, 115 Hoover

upstairs yesterday and heard footsteps
downstairs. She Immediately investi-
gated and found that Gall had entered

who stole watch from the house about
a month ago. The next door neghbors,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hawley, also identified
the man.

ing house identified the man as the per-

gun, but he took with him S2S00 wort h
of mining stock.
The police consider Gall one of the
boldest daylight burglars with whom
they have had to deal in years. He is
now in the city jail awaiting trial.
