ORA W CHECK OR

Business Man of Rock Rapids
Iowa, Decoyed and Intimidated
by Former Employee.
Special to The journal.

Special to The journal. 5t2 Sc
Rock Rapids, Iowa, Dec. l8:-To be
deceived to a room and locked therein
by man whom he had long thought to
be his friend; and to have revolver
pointed at his head and made to draw
check for. a large sum on threats OF
instant death was the startling expert
erce here today by M. d. Schutt, a
well known business man.
Some time ago Mr.. Schutt employed
Dave Harris of Ironwood to sell horses
for him. When it came time to settle
accounts there was a slight difference
between them, but no quarrel ensued,
and Mr.. Schutt regarded the incident
as closed.
Today Harris came to the Hotel
Lyon, engaged room and telephoned
to Schutt that he wanted to see him.
When the men met in the office Harris
invited Schutt to his room upstairs. No
sooner had they reached it than Harris
bolted the door and taking a revolver
from his grip on the bed pointed it at
Schutt and said:
s" You draw me check for 1882 or
I will fill you full of holes. | would
rather fill you full Of holes, but | need
the money!
Nj. Sc6utt did what all sensible men
would have done under the circum-
stances, promptly drew the check in
ris and was escorted to the door. Has
tening to the bank, he stopped payment
upon the paper and then swore out an
information against Harris for assault.
Harris was fined $50 and costs in JUS
tice court. Citizens are wondering
whether this will end the difficulty be-
tween the two men. ~

NO TARIFF " AR
WITH GERMANY
Change Of Sentiment Among Ger
mans Is Result Of Tariff
Commissions Work.

/ Berlin, Dec. 18.-The spirit shown by
the American tariff commissioners in
their inquiry into precisely what the
German government desires and it's rea-
sons therefor has caused the German
commissioners to feel confident that an
understanding SO far-reaching that the
idea of q tariff war must be excluded
will be reached. This hopeful view is
expressed by the newspapers, which to-
day give prominence to reports of the
dinner given last night by the Ameri-
can Association Of Trade and Com.
merce III honor of the American and
German commissioners and to the state
ment Of Nahum I. Stone, head Of the
American commission, that it was the
American ambassador here, Mr.. Tower.
who brought about the appointment Of
the commission and that to him must
be ascribed this stroke of statesman
ship. The conservative partv newspa-
pers have adopted quite different tone
towards the United States than pre-
viously.
members Of the Nreichstag last week
both Count Won Kanitz and Count Won
Stolberg, the leaders Of the party, said
it was the duty Of the conservatives
to work in the interest Of a mutually
advantageous trade arrangement with
the United States and for the most
friendly political relations with that
country because Germany's view of
the situation must take in not only the
European states but that great power
in the western hemisphere.
The conservatives form the backbone
of the agrarian interests and the
changed attitude Of the party is an
interesting political phenomenon, indi-
eating increasing harmony between the
Of the landed aristocracy regarding the
foreign policy of Germany.

JAPs CLOSING OPEN DOOR
Plan on Foot to Keep American sta
pies Out of Manchuria.

San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-Dr. ]. E.
Jones, United States consul at Dalny,
who arrived yesterday on the liner Nip.
pom Maru, is quoted in an interview
published in the Chronicle today as
saying that the Japanese are carrying
out an ambitious plan, which, if sue
cessful, will close Asia as a market for
American wheat and cotton.
The Japanese, he says. are colonizing
Manchuria on an extensive scale, with
the idea Of raising sufficient wheat
there to supply the needs of Asia. In
Korea they are carrying. on elaborate
experiments in cotton raising. These
experiments have been in a measure
successful, but it will be some years,
DR.. Jones thinks, before either Mancbu-
rian wheat or Korean cotton win Sc
riously menace the market for the
American products.
Under the new tariff, says DR.. Jones,
the cost of living in Japan has in
creased 20 per cent, and wages are be-
ing advanced accordingly. Incidental.
ly. the standard Of living is improving.

Journal Special Service.
Revere, Mass, Dec. 18.-When the
four children of Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus j.
Brownell take their stockings down
from the chimney corner Christmas,
four little wriggling demonstrators,
one in each stocking, will greet them.
And that they will be delighted is only
to say that they are children of Mr..
Brownell, who is dealer in snakes.
Already the infant constructors, not
over nine inches long and as, cunning
as snakes can be, are OH their way to
Revere, from New York. Michael Con
zala of Calcutta, India, is dealer in
snakes from whom Brownell has been
buying reptiles for the New England
trade for years: Gonzala is very fond
Of the Bro ownell children, and not long
ago promised that when he got some
real young demonstrators he . would
send them to the little folks of the
Revere household for pets. sa
"My children are as fond Of snakes
as am,o said Brownen.t "The young
Demonstrators are pretty little babies
Of the snake sort that would not hurt
a fly. I think the handling of snakes
breeds good nerve in children .n

POLITICS WRECKED BANK?
Cashier s Effort to Become Boss Blamed
for Pennsylvania Crash.
Journal Special Service. =

journal special service. ~. .t.-,,
Pittsburg, Dec. 1S.-That another
bank has gone to it's doom thru the
grasping, of state politicians has been
practically shown by figures produced
indicating that the Farmers and Drov-
ers bank of Waynesburg, Pa, whose
doors were closed last Saturday. was
more than $1,000,00O short, instead of
q few thousands, as had been alleged.
Cashier and Vicepresident J. B.
Rinehart gave himself up to the fed
eral authorities. It is alleged that Rine-
hart, who aspired to be the political
leader Of Greene county, did a heavy
business in the notes Of politicians and
that more than half of the money
which his bank is now short was on
notes of those politicians and which
cannot at the present time be brought
to the surface. It is said that for five
years suspicious work has been carried
on in that bank and that in making his
report to the controller. Rinehart on
the last occasion reported only $4,000
of rediscounted notes when that item
should have read $6OO.OOO.

partment of the Government.
With all of them honeycombed
by graft" the edges of which
