EDITOR HARDEN WINS CASE
Celebrated German Libel Action Goes
Against General Won
Moltl<e,

BERLIN, oct. 29.-Maximillan Harden,
editor of Die Zukunft, was acquitted to-
day in the suit brought against him by
General Count Kuno Won Moltke, for
merly military governor Of Berlin, for
defamation of character. In addition
General Moltle was condemned to bear
the costs of the trial.
= The trial. which began October %, at
tracted the greatest interest in Germany.
Counsel for Harden charged that the court
clique of which Won Moltke was a MEM
ber, was guilty of infamous practices and
also had sought TO exercise undue in
fiuence over Emperor William. The names
Of Prince Phillip Zu Eulenburg. ex.Ger-
man ambassador to Vienna, and Liouten-
ant Governor William Won Hohenau. one
of the emperors adjutRnts, were men,
toned by Harden as being members Of
the clique, referred to as the "round
table" and an army officer who had
served in the guard corps at Potsdam
testified to having taken part in orgies
at the house of Major Count Lynar, which
had resulted in the dismissal from the
service in disgrace Of the count
Harden Declined TO Retract.
Harden declined to withdraw anything
he mad written on the subject, but he
crime. Justice Kern. the presiding Judge,
today made the verdict as easy for Won
Moltke as was consistent with the con-
clusions arrived at. He said Harden was
justified in what he had written but there
was no evidence that Won Moltke had at
any time acted upon abnormal incllna-
tions or that he knew what took place at
Major Count Lynar's villa or of Lieuten-
ant General Hohenau's house.
Harden, when the verdict was an
nounced was cheered by the spectators
present in court and by the large crowd
of people waiting in the rain outside
Won Moltke heard the verdict with i'm
passiveness.
The trial is already having consider
able political effect. One hundred and
forty socialist dailys newspapers are at
tacking the monarchial principle with
studied fury mocking, sneering savagely.
and assailing the exotic conditions which
have been described as "iourishing in the
hot-house atmosphere of the court. ."
where the sovereign is surrounded. the
socialists claim, with companions and
councillors, the corruption of whose pri-
vate lives units them for their positions.

Of about 1000 900 tons per year and at prices
substantially on parity with domestic

From information received It is believed
the demand for our products has during
the last few years been constantly increas-
ing and that the present necessities are
very great.
Prices have been we'll maintained The
leading steel manufacturers are in frequent
consultation, though under no agreement
concerning their business interests. 1t
seems to be a recognized fact that stability
of prices is to be desired by both the pro-

CITY GOOD FIRE FIGHTER
OmRha's Facilities Are Pronounced
by Examiners 60 he Above
the Average.

The committee of the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters which is inspecting the
fire fighting abilities of Omaha and the
state of risks in the city has nearly COM
peted its work on the Omaha water. sys-
tenn. Two OF the members OF the commit
tee who do not desire their names mem
toned until their report has been made
public in New York, declare that Omaha
has greater facilities for placing water on
fires in the business part of town than
any city of its size in the United States,
and that with one exception It's power in
this respect is not limited to cities OF it's
own class.
"OSSaha can center eighty lines Of hose
on any hS>sse in the business center, as far
as water supply is concerned" said one of
the inspectors. "and everyone of the eighty
lines would be effective. This, of course.
is beyond the power Of the fire department
and such an avalanche of water would
never be needed. but 1t is possible"
Tests made IN the block surrounding the
city hall showed that with six hydrants
opened at one time a flow of $1,000 gallons
of water per minute was thrown and
force of fifty-seven pounds pressure still
shown at the hydrants. On the block In
which the federal building Is located and
one block east OF it six hydrants were
opened, 10000 gallons Of water a minute
thrown and the pressure held at seventy
three and half pounds pressure.
The one thing necessary to make the
Omaha plant an ideal one" said the in
spector," is duplicate main from the
pumping station at Florence to Omaha
The town should not depend upon one
main line from the pumping station OF
course. there are minor matters which
need attention, but in the main there Is
no better water service for fire fighting in
America than that at Omaha. The COM
pany has everything in first-class shape
and seems to keep the plant up in every
way. As far as we can learn, the pipes
are not suffering from electrolosls, but an
inspection to exactly determine this would
require two months
