Has Admitted Identity.
These people have not only seen
her, but they have spoken TO her, and
in many instances she has not denied
her identity. She was first seen. in
San Francisco. Later she was seen in
Chicago, and after that she was seen
and spoken TO in several cities south
and east of Chicago. I do not think
that DR.. Crippen will hang for her
murder.

Stands Firm and Cuts Off
Supply From United
States.
CONTRACTS VIOLATED
Washington Government MOI
Disposed to Accept Decision
Without Protest.

Washington, Nov. President Tat
and his advisors in the state and treas
ury departments probably will have an
early conference over the severe blow
dealt the American fertilizer industry
by Germany's reaction OF the Ameri.
can proposals for adjusting the Ger.
man potash controversy. American
purchases of potash amount to $1,000
900 annually.
Means Loss of Millions.
Millions of dollars loss to American
contractors are involved in the posi-
ton taken by Germany, which restricts
the output of the several potash mines,
imposes heavy taxes, and virtually
puts the mines IN the hands Of q syn
dicate under governmental supervis-
ion. Germany is substantially the only
source Of potash supply in the world,
and in the United States the use OF
the potash salts is constantly increas.
ing in cotton fertilization.
Had Ample Notice.
Germany had ample notice before
its reichstag passed the law last
spring. for Ambassador Hill, under in.
structions from Washington, acquaint.
ed the Berlin foreign Office with the
American view, and six months ago
had to report to the state department
that the law, with it's obnoxious pro.
visions from the standpoint of the
American contractors. had been
passed.
Reject American Proposal.
Berlin, Nov. 7.-Germany has re.
jected the American proposal in con
nection with the export potash from
that country, contracted for by Amer
ican interests. This proposal sought
to halve the difference under dispute
caused by enactment of the potash bill
by Germany last May. The American
contractors would thus have accepted
a loss of S14.OOO,OO0, that is, $4,000, 600
annually for seven years. which con-
stituted the life OF "a OF their con-
tracts. The new law limits the pro-
duction to a certain amount at each
of the mines and levles a tax OF 1G
marks per hundred weight on all pro.
duction in excess of the stated amount.

as if the vote was already in, Clyde
H. Tavenner, the democratic and pro-
gressive candidate for congress, today
visited the democratic headquarters
and gave out the following statement:
81 believe 1 will be elected.
81 believe 1 will be elected, not
through republican voters permanent
ly turning democratic, but that I will
be assigned by the progressive element
of both parties to go to Washington to
represent the people from patriotic
viewpoint rather than a strictly par
tisan viewpoint.
"The principal issue is Cannonism,
an issue which from one end of the
country to the other has overleaped
party bounds and is no longer a parti-
san issue
Congressman McKinney's record
shows that he is a confirmed Cannon
standpatter. If 1 am elected 1 will not
work with Cannon men in either party
81 will take my stand with Pinchot
against Ballinger, with La Toilette
against Aldrich and with Vic Murdoch
of Kansas against Joseph G. Cannon.

chants, farmers and factory workers

sons have requested that their activity
