GERMAN BELIEVES
ROOSEVELT CAUSED
WORLDWIDE PANIC
Count Won kautz Suggests Moderate
Return to 5imetaIIism In
Order to Save
Gold

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 14--In the course of an
Interpolation in the reichstag today in
reference to the high rate of discount
charged by the imperial bank, Count Won
Kautz, Conservative, suggested that
President Roosevelt's threats against
the trusts was responsible for the criti-
cal financial situation existing today
throughout the entire world.
Count Won Kanitz pointed to the unfa-
vorable commercial balance Of European
nations, particularly Germany, toward
the United States He took issue with
the American statistics concerning for
eign trade, declaring that in 1906 Ger
many had imported American goods to
the value OF 1880 100000 marks, and had
exported to the United States only 636,-
DOC, 900 marks worth. This left balance
OF 900, 900 900 marks in favor of the United
States, but the American statement de-
clared this balance amounted to only
S91. 100000 marks. This balance had not
been recouped by shipping profits and div
idends on American stocks in German
hands.
In addition TO these unfavorable bal
ances another factor in the situation was
the gigantic sum OF 100000 marks In
surance which Germany had loyalty paid
In connection with the San Francisco
disaster, although the German companies
were not legally bound to do so.
Continuing, the speaker expressed the
opinion that the United States will need
much more money and that this will come
from Europe. He then asked what means
would be adopted to prevent this out
flow, which even a high bank rate or
discount could not keep back. He sug-
gested moderate return to bimetallism
by issuing in Germany silver coinage TO
the amount of % marks per capita, which.
he said. would improve the situation. IIe
upheld the method of the Bank of
France, which issues silver coinage to
the value Of 10 marks per capita Of popu-
lauon, as a model In this connection.
declaring that this system permitted
France to have such an enormous gold
reserve.

but they feel they know better what is
for their own good than does he or any
departmental clerks.
He asserted that it was paternalism
gone mad to charge that the cattlemen
did not know their own interests and de-
scribed as u distrust of the people every
argument advanced in favor of the new
departure.
The session closed with an address by
Governor Brooks of Wyoming on the

More Than Three Thousand Children

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE situation
caused by scarcity of teachers In the
Chicago public schools reached climax
yesterday. In seventy-three rooms, chief
ly in elementary schools, the officials
found it impossible to provide teachers,
and had to dismiss the pupils for the day.
More than 5000 school children passed
the day at their homes or on the streets.
Altogether more than 40 vacancies were
reported. Almost half of these were filled
through the assignment of substitutes OF
by school principals, who took charge OF
the disabled rooms.
The scarcity of teachers is due largely
to the epidemic of grip which is affecting
the city.

.0AC LOSES TO
MULTNOMAH
Close and Exciting
Game Saturday.
ELEVEN TO ten THE SCORE
Aggies Had Game Well Won
Until Last Two Minutes in
Second Half.

The closing football game OF
the season played Saturday at
Portland between the OAC and
Multnomah teams was one of the
most closely matched games of
the year and the fact that the
one winning point was made by
Multnomah in the last two min
utes of the final half made the
struggle both exciting and spec
tacular.
Incidentally the score Of the
game is the same as on the last
meeting between the elevens
three years ago. While the
scores were made in a different
manner by the collegians, Multi
Inomah's were made almost in
the same manner, except that
both scores on the last occasion
were made in the second half,
while Saturday the clubmen reg
istered a touchdown in each half.
Captain Wolff, of the "Aggies,"
was unable to play, and the
team was deprived of his kick
ing ability.
The "Aggies" went into the
game with that old-time spirit
of theirs we'll in evidence, and
succeeded in giving the clubmen
as good as they sent at all stages
of the game. With the excep-
ton Of the goal from the field
scored by Keck for OAC all of
the scores were more or less the
result Of pure luck. Che Farm
ers" tried the forward pass on
several occasions, and while
they made but scant gains, they
were penalized only once for an
illegal pass. Despite their poor
luck at this style Of play, they
tried it again, and this time it
resulted in one of the sensation
al plays Of the game. The first
half ended with the ball in the
possession of OAC on Multno-
mah's 4O-yard line. Score 6 all.
! When 27 minutes Of the allot-
ed 80 minutes of the second half
had elapsed, OAC was in possess
sion of the ball on Multnomah's
35-Yard line. Multnomah held
! grandly for two downs, and
! Keck, for OAC, tried for a goal
from the field, but fell short and
wide. Stott tried a double pass
but Jameson broke through and
!. tossed Shaker back for a loss.
This reverse caused Stott to
kick, but, most unusual for him,
his punt carried wide and went
out of bounds for hardly Is yds
:, advanced. The ball was brought
to the center of the field, and
without any preliminary stunts,
Keck tried a field goal. Kelly
passed the ball beautifully, Gag
non placing it neatly, and Keck
booted it squarely between the
| Multnomah goal posts for a goal
from the field, making the score
! 10 to 6 in favor of OAC.
| Only two minutes remained
OF play and the rooters believed
that OAC had won the game,
but, like all football games, it de-
veloped that it was not over un-
til time was called. RAIDER kicked
off to OAC and after one attempt
at gain, Keck kicked to Stott,
who caught the ball on the OAC
52-yard line. Multnomah's lit
tie quarterback started one of
his famous returns, and before
he wound up he was behind the
students goal post for the score
that won the game. ssE~xaas. ~-.

The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1908-05-06

That Lexington county has one of
the best and most popular sheriffs in
the United States was very significant
at the hanging here on Friday. Many
congratulations were showered upon
him from every side for the brave and
manly manner I'M which he carried
out the sentence of the court. Mr..
Higgins, a prominent attorney from
Chicago, was present during the exc
cution. He spoke in the highest
praise of Sheriff Corley, saying that
he had been in many parts of the
United States and he had never seen
asheriff that commanded so much re-
spect and attention as did Sheriff
Corley. Such expressions as these
are calculated to ''swell" the head of
our sheriff, but he is wearing the laur-
els with the same grace and dignity
which are so characteristic Of the
manly man that he is.
