GERMAN STATES UPHOLD
STAND ON u. S. TARIFF
Kaiser's Government Opposes
Importation of Meat

BERLIN. Jan. 2o.-The imperial min
istry from time to time has communi-
Gated TO the governments OF the fed
the tariff negotiations with the United
States.
All the governments have Indicated
their approval of the imperial position
that no concession can be made con-
corning the Importation of American
meats and are in full accord with the
terms and spirit of Germanys recent
and definite reply to the American re-
quest.
In view of the fact that American
exports of meats are declining because
of the high prices prevailing In the
United States it is regarded here as
unreasonable that Washington should
insist upon concessions which must be
extended to sermany's neighbors.

FAKE NAVY OFFICER
EXPOSED IN COURT
Howard K. Clover Repudiated as
Relative OF Admiral and
Branded Impostor

Howard K. Glover, on trial for
working bunco games by impersonat-
Ing an officer of the United States
navy, heard himself disclaimed as a
relative in the United States district
court yesterday by Rear Admiral
Richardson Glover, U. S. N, retired.
Later the defendant took the stand in
his own behalf and said he did not say
he was an officer, but only let people
think it. He did not deny, however.
that he told Harry Moffitt, secret serv-
I've operative, that he was a second
cousin of the admiral.
Besides denying the relationship Ad-
miral Glover affirmed that there was
no such officer as Glover claimed In the
navy. Commander e. W. Eberle of the
Yerba Buena station also said he knew
no such man.
Ben Mckinley of the United States
attorneys office was thus limited TO
evidence relating to scientific supplies
secured by Glover on credit from the
Talgmann- -Torka company. Frank
Torka testified that he gave the de-
fendant credit only because of his rep
resentation as to being a captain IN
the navy.

of the house had introduced the orig

cation in such a manner as to constf-
tute an attack upon the forestry serv-
ice, and prema turely brand Secretary
Ballinger as pure and innocent man.
Commenting upon the selection of
the committee by the house Represent
ative Murdock said:
The real issue in the matter of the
selection of an investigating commit
tee was whether the house could select
a committee at ALL and whether, when
selected, it would be a better commit
tee than the one selected by the
speaker.
The house has proved that it can
select its own committee and has Sc
lected a committee of all elements of
the house and the country Is repre-
sented, whereas, If the speaker had Sc
lected it 1t would have been made up
of his personal favorites. Committee
men appointed by the speaker would
have owed their places to him. The
men now named owe their places to
the house.

cinity so that in the event of an in
vasion the rebels will be unable to

This makes all the difference in the
world, and it is the first substantial

made to see that his legislative system
goes with him."

Where the Mint Beds Are.

st. Joseph county, with Berrien
county, Mich. produces 90 per cent.
of the peppermint raised in the coun-
try, according to Information obtained
by Harry Rolaff, local factory census
taker. The two counties have a vast
acreage devoted to the culture of mint
plants and several thousand men are
employed in the industry. The soil
is particularly well adapted to the
raising of the plant and several large
firms in both this and the Michigan
county are devoted exclusively to the
culture of the single product. One
farm in Berrien County, owned by A.
T.. Beebe & Sons, of Niles alone COM
prises about LOO acres. The largest
growers in st. Joseph County are ia
cob Weiss, Cruu Brothers, Daniel
Ward. George Lane, George Motifs and
j. A. Boles.
The mint plants are cultivated much
like other farm products but a small
distiIlery is used to extract the oil
following the harvest. Mint this
year is selling at S1.50 a pound, al
though the price has gone as high as
IS. The crop this year is short, oW-
ing to the continued cool weather in
the spring and recent drouth. The
census agent and his assistants COM
in connection with his work of report
ing on manufactures in the census
district. Each farmer was visited to
get full statistics of the extern of his
crop.-SOuth Bend Ond.) Special
