for Suppression of Vice.

Munich, Jan. 5.-The German Society for
the Suppression of immortality is now in
session in Munich. The speakers are
united in giving "a terrible account Of the
increasing depravity of the nation.
Judge Roeren, one Of the highest judi
cial authorities in the country, stated that
It is an undoubted fact that Germany Is
in the midst Of great moral descent
He went into particulars which il is i'm
possible to reproduce to prove this. The
streets are becoming more impure, young
people are more depraved than ever, even
in schools where only the children of
respectable and well-to-do persons are ac-
cepted. The country is being flooded with
impure literature, largely written by
women who openly preach free love.
Society in Germany is. the judge de-
clared. on the brink Of moral destruction.

 London, Nov. 15.-The dingy Maryle- bone police court had almost the ap- pearance of theater matinee to-day when the hearing of testimony was re- stunned in the proceeding brought by George Hollamby Druce. grandson of the late Thomas Charles Druce, against Herbert Druce, who is charged with perjury by the former in stating that he saw the body of his father, Thomas Charles Druce, lying in coffin on Dec. 2s, 1864, and that he attended the fu- neral, the case being an outcome of the contest for the Duke of Portland's estates. ~Well-dressed women and men. some persons of title, filled the best seats, while the rest of the court room was crowded to suffocation.
 Horace Avory, for the defence, con. tinued his searching oross-examinatior of Robert c. Caldwell of Staten Island New York, who got tangled up witl dates. He testified that he was mar ried in Ireland after returning from India in 1864, while MT. Avory pro. , duced certificate showing that the ceremony occurred in 1881.
 MT. Caldwell, who was in the wit ness box all day, testified that Thomas Charles Druce did not de in Decem.

THRUST 60. NOT AFFECTED MISSED BARNEYS HELP
But Receivers of Knickerbocker Do Not Look for Com plications.

New York, Nov. 1B.-Except for the loss of his assistance in straightening out the troubles of the Knickerbocker Trust company, the death of Charles IT. Barney. who shot himself yesterday. seems unlikely to affect the receivers problem In regard to that corporation. While the coronsr's office was prepar- ing to-day for an inquest into the shooting, Ernest Thalmann, one of the receivers, saidt
 'fSo far as can see. the death of MT. Barney will not materially affect the interests of the company, although his personal knowledge of It's affairs might have facilitated the adjustment of certain details. The receivers al- ready have gotten the affairs of the company pretty well in hand.
 "As I understand 1t, arrangements were made previously for the adjust ing of his personal liabilities. and assume that his estate will be managed much the same as 1t would be if he were alive. There seems to be no req son to expect that his death will cause additional financial entanglements." Had MT Barneys death occurred a fortnight sooner, in the opinion of Wall street observers, it would have made good deal of difference in the general financial situation, and the complications arising out of the dis turbance of confidence would have in creased the unrest of the public. Il is felt now, however, that if the var. ious committees of the trust company will cooperate, not only will the de, positors be paid in full, but a consider able part of the company's surplus, ao cording to one of the directors. should be saved to the stockholders.
 But in order to bring this about, according to the director, "all the de Ipositcrs' committees. directors com nittees, and other interests should work in harmony
 Details of what happened in the Bar ney house in the last hours of the trus company's ex-president are still lack ling. The inquest next week is expect ed to show positively whether he ad mitted to the doctors that he kille, himself. and perhaps why he wishe to die.
 Along with the strain under whicl
 MT. Barney had been laboring becaus of his tangled business affairs, the de pleted values of his securities an
 real estate holdings, he had probabl
 become affected by worries over do mestic troubles. That there had bee such difficulties was known some tim
 ago by friends of the family.
