WILD WEST CRIMES IN
BERLIN STARTLE POLICE

BERLIN, Dec. 25.--Two young men
entered a postoffice in the northern
part of Berlin the other evening, and,
while one of them demanded a couple
of half-penny stamps, the other pulled
out a revolver and fired at the official
in charge, wounding him in the shoul-
der. The assailant pulled the trigger
a second time, but the weapon missed
fire.
Meanwhile the official had had the
presence OF mind to slam the counter
window down and to ring the alarm
bell The robbers hurried out into the
street, where a hue-and-cry was at
once set up. Unfortunately they man
aged to escape in the darkness.
Police Investigations indicate that
the crime had been carefully thought
out in advance. The time of day had
been chosen at which the Office is least
frequented, and a woman who lived
on the premises and might have OBJ
structed the robbers retreat was got
rid of for moment by dispatching her
on some false errand. The thieves
evidently hoped to shoot the official in
the heart, grab the till and stamp
sheets and decamp. This kind of des-
perate wild west crime seems to be
becoming much more common In Ber-
lin. The new police president, Herr
Won Jagow, betrays his frugal mind
by offering a reward of S100 Tor the
detection of the culprits. IA. tile past
double this SUM has generally proved
ineffective.

TELESCOPE IS MOST
POWERFUL IN WORLD
TREPT0W OBSERVATORY IS
FINELY EQUIPPED
Magnifles 5000 EoId, While the
Lick Has Power of but
$500 Diameters

BERLIN, Dec. 25.-Treptow observ-
most powerful telescope in the world.
DR.. Friedrich S. Archenbold, director
of the observatory, admits that the
lens of this instrument is smaller than
the telescope lenses of the Yerkes and
Lick observatories, but. in spite of
that, it Has a magnifying power great
er than any yet built.
The Yerkes lens has a diameter of
104 centimeters, the Lick lens SO GEN.
timeters, while the Treptow instru-
ment has a lens only 20 centimeters in
breadth. The Lick telescope magnities
4500-fold, while the Archenbold teles-
cope has a power of 5000 diameters un-
der favorable atmospheric and light
conditions. This increase of power
with smaller lens is explained by
Professor Archenbold as possible
through a greater focal distance. Thus,
the length of the Yerkes telescope is
Is meters, that of the Lick 10, while the
Archenbold is q meters.
The lens is of extraordinarily fine
workmanship and cost Sl2,500 1t was
cast in Jena by Professor Able and
Dr. Schott. DR.. Steinheil of Munich
was responsible for the delicate work
of cutting it. The metal tube of the
telescope proper is 1llClOSeQ III an outer
metal covering, so that the tempera-
ture may be more uniform and the in
strument protected from vibrations
caused by the movements of the at
mosphere. The apparatus weighs $500
pounds and is operated by electricity.
The distinguishing feature of the
Treptow observatory is that it has
no revolving cupola. The advantages
of the cupola are obtained through
the outer metal inclosure of the tel
escope, and the cost of the observa-
tory is. greatly reduced by not having
the great revolving chamber usual in
observatories.
Or. Archenbold estimates that with
such a cupola the present equipment
of the Treptow observatory would
have cost $1,OO0,OOO, while without the
cupola the cost has only been about
$75, 900.
The observatory has many original
features, none of which have been pat
ented, SO that astronomers are free to
use them without the payment of roy
alties. Andrew Carnegie is one of the
wealthy men who have given donations
to make the Treptow observatory one
of the best equipped scientific estab-
lishments in the world.

IREEK W0RKMEN HARASS
\ GOVERNMENT BY PARADES
4mand Increased Rate on Hardware
4 and Insist Immediate Action
4 on Bill Be Taken

M ATHENS, Dec. 25.-Some excitement
was caused this week by the presence
N the town of several hundred operat-
ives from the iron foundries at the
Piraeus. who proceeded in a body to
the chamber of deputies, displaying a
black flag. They demanded the impo-
sition of a heavy duty on foreign hard
ware, and insisted that a bill embody-
ing their demands should be voted i'm
mediately. At the chamber, however,
they were confronted, by strong force
OF infantry, while numerous members
Of the Military league were present in
the building. A deputation of the work.
men was received by the prime minis
ter and the minister of finance, who
promised to concede their demands as
FAR as possible, having regard to the
commercial conventions existing be-
tween Greece and foreign states.
Shortly afterward the chamber as
lsembled, when two adherents of M.
lRallis declared that a quorum was not
hresent, and the president, after re-
marking that portion of the opposi-
dion was unwilling to attend, declared
Inc sitting closed, to the manifest an
boyance of the government.

TRY TO FORCE LORDS
TO PAY TAX PORTION
OPPOSITION TO BUDGET RE-
SUIT OF SELFlSHNESS
Peers Who Defeated Appropriation
Bill of Great Britain Own Land
Double the Area of
Massachusetts,

NEW YORK; Dec. 25.-An explana-
tion of the opposition of the lords to
the land tax provision of the budget
may be found in the published list of
their realty holdings.
In the aggregate British peers possess
16 41O,9S6 acres, or one-fifth of the total
area of the United Kingdom. The lords
whose votes defeated the budget own
1O,O78,979 acres, an acreage double the
area of Massachusetts. In the matter
of individual holdings the average ducal
domain is 142564 acres, an area almost
equaling that of Chicago and st. Louis
combined. Marquises own an average
of $4,000 acres, earls 30,217, Viscounts
1924 and barons 4,152. Seven titled
landlords derive an annual income OF
above $70,000,000 from their property
holdings in London. The duke of West
minister receives. SIS, 100000 year from
TINS source, Lord Howard de Walden
half a million less, the duke of Bedford
S1l, 500, 900 and the duke of Norfolk So
soc, 600.
These privileged ducal and baronial
demesnes the budget subjects to three
forms OF taXation-a 20 per cent tax on
unearned increment, tax of two
tenthS of per cent on the Value OF ull-
developed land and on mining royalties,
and 10 per cent duty on benefits ac-
cruing to the owners of leased land at
the termination of the lease. 1t is
these features of the Lloyd-George tax
alton scheme that have specially pro-
Voked the antagonism OF those who
Aud scorn to give aught other reasons why
love their land because it is their own.
If the budget is sustained by the Brit
ish public the lords realty holdings,
after centuries OF exemption from the
burdens which have oppressed the small
householder, will be called on to bear
the brunt of most radical experiment
in taxation. 1t is by curious irony of
tate that the Henry George single tax
idea should be first extensively applied
although in modified form-to the an
cestral acres of England.

KOREANS ACETATE CLOSE
RELATIONS WITH JAPAN

TOXIC, Dec. PA Korean political
party is agitAting strongly in favor of
amalgamation with Japan, on the
ground that the present inchoate sys-
tenn tends to produce feeling Of un-
certainty which checks national devel-
opment and encourages the insurgents.
The Japanese press points out, how
ever that the Koreans would in that
case be Obliged to pay the same taxes
as the Japanese, and to discharge all
constitutional duties, including con-
scrfption. The consent of the treaty
powers would also be an essential pre-
iiminary to such step, and it there
fore considers the project as wholly
premature.

CONVERT WORKOUT
HORSES INTO FOOD

GENEVA, Dec. 25.-The exports of
old, worn-out and dying horses from
Wurtemberg and other south German
states to Switzerland numbers a
thousand every year. the unfortunate
animals being dispatched by boat from
Friederichshafen to Romanshorn across
Lake Constance, where a "horse" sale
takes place at the end of the year,
after the old horses have been worked
to death in Germany and are of no
more use.
The buyers of the horses are Swiss
butchers, who convert the meat into
sausages, but instead Of killing the an
imals on the spot, they take them by
rail. without food or drink, to save
expense, to various parts of Switzer-
land before ending their sufferings.
Swiss sausages are supposed to be
extra fine. The authorities have done
nothing to stop tha traffic.

Jennings the Spectacular

DROBABLY the most spectacular manage :,
IN baseball to-day IS Hugh Jennings OF De
troit Coming fresh from the minor league
Jennings went TO Detroit and won two cham
pionships IN succession. Up TO the time OF ms
arrival the club was a consistent loser
To speak OF Jennings and his sparkling wi
and hu1nor would be 10 speak Of McGraw. In
disposition they are practically the SAME They
formerly played on the Same club, the BAIT
more Orioles. and they have the same habits
They play baseball IN exactly the same way
On his arrival IN Detroit, Jennings hooked
the field over carefully and saw that the only
thing needed was to put the Tigers INTO good
bu1nor. They had the ability TO begin with
This he proceeded to DO by Playing Ihe par "i
comedian on the coaching lines. IN q HCIIS
yyhile he had other members OF the club dong

cry Of E-yahl'
This cry IS known throughout the country
and to be appreciated t must be seen. !" d"

his actions Jennings lifts one foot high IA the

gives the following explanation
