COOPERATION LIFE OF TRADE
Commerce Commissioner Knapp Re-
vises an Old ProverD.

Cincinnati, Oct. 4.-That cooperation
and not competition is the life of trade
was the position taken by Martin A.
Knapp, chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission, in his address be-
fore the convention of the Grain Dealers
National. association here.
Mr.. Knapp said:
II believe the future development of
our civilization will be along the lines
of cooperation 1 believe elements that
are now conflicting will gather togeth-
er in harmonious effort and unity Of
purpose, and that the highest honors
and the greatest glories will go to the
citizens who are the most useful and
perform the greatest service"
Mr.. Knapp did not mention any names
when he declared There is greater
moral delinquency in the man who Sc
cured determinations in his favor from
railroad than there is in a pickpocket
or chicken thief"

BERLIN IS REzSSURED.
German Flnanelers Consider condl.
tlons In New York to Have
Improved PerceptIbly.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-Gold continues ia
leave Germany in steady stream
the Reichsbank lost probably $4,000,
900 during the past week. But the
stock has been more than replenished
through arrivals from home sources.
The Reichsbank is trying to increase
Its gold supply by paying out bank
notes Of small denomination which
recently became available for circula.
tion.
The impression here is that most OF
the gold taken for the United States
during the week was drawn from the
open market. The tendency shown in
Wall street the past few days has
had calming effect upon the minds
Of the financial community and the
hope is now entertained that a grad
ual recovery will now set In in the
United States.
Steadier prices in Wall street lat
terly have increased the demand for
American rails, which showed consId.

.'lID"FOR CHICAGO PERHAPS
Strong Efforts Are Being Made to
Close the Saloons on Sunday.
Two Hundred Volunteer oeteetlves
secured Evidence to Present
N M 70 the Grand Jury.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Some 200 yolun
teer detectives from the subsidiar,
organizations Of the Chicago Law and
Order league visited saloons In Chi
yago Sunday in an endeavor to OBJ
tain evidence that the Sunday CLOSING
law Of Illinois was being violated. The
action is In furtherance OF a cam
paign inaugurated by the league al.
ter the successful election struggles
for local option waged in II counties
Of the state earlier in the month.
p The evidence collected Sunday, It
Is announced will be presented to the
grand Jury Of Cook county Monday or
Tuesday. Leaders In the movement
for "dry Sunday" in Chicago hope
that the inquisitorial body will find
the facts sufficient for the voting Of
true bills against numerous saloon
keepers in each of the 35 wards OF
the city under the state law which
carries maximum penalties Of 5000
fine and a jail sentence for each
proven violation. The city ordinances,
on the contrary. provide only nominal
fines for such offenses.
The Chicago Law and Order league
is composed of about 100 district and
church organizations having for their
object strict observance of the sta
tutes regulating the sale of liquor In
the city. county and state. Mayor
Busse has thus far refused to head
the pleadings Of the organizations that
the saloons be closed and in this at.
