Emperor William on

ence preached in these days, ant
therefore it gives us much pleas
ure to read the report Of TEN
perarce talk by the powerful EN-
peror of Germany. He was ad
dressing a body of military ca
diets and urged the young people
to abstain from the use of intox'
icants, including the much loved
German beer-urged upon them
the duty of joining some tenn.
perance organization, such as the
Good Templars, and by so doing
be strengthened in the total alb
stinence practice. AS a reason
for all this, he told them that the
nation consuming the least alco-
hol would surely be the best ad-
R.vanced in civilization and prog
ress. Was it not a splendid tenn
perance sermon?
What! Quit drinking beer?
Yes, that was the advice, and
the advice was based on sound
principle. Hitherto German beer
has been lauded as perfectly
healthy drink. It's virtues have
been proclaimed everywhere, but
now comes the great Kaiser of
Germany and says to the young
cadets, Beware of beer"
1t seems a commission had
been investigating the value, if
any, of beer drinking, and the
report was that beer drinking
was injurious to all classes of in
door workers-to all men of sed-
entary habits. It is evil, only
evil, and that continually. A
little concession was made to
people working outdoors-beer
might not hurt so much in that
case-but to all people within
doors beer drinking is a positive
evil. No wonder the Emperor
preached total abstinence. Let
us hope that the German people,
at home and abroad, will take
kindly to the Emperor's preach
ing. f
Somebody many bodies -
ought to preach total abstinence
in this our great country. We
have plenty of law against the
traffic in liquor but somehow the
drinking of intoxicants goes on
apace. Counties vote to close
the saloons, but the express CON-
panies bring in the stuff in great
quantities so that the lovers of
whiskey and beer are well sup
piled, even in dry counties. Our
own county went dry a little
over two years ago, but only in
name. The beer brought in by
express and delivered to differ
ent families in the city proves
that our county is somewhat
"wet" yet.
Does it not show the need of
much work to counteract the
drink evil? Temperance laws
may do well enough for certain
purposes, but in spite Of laws the
consumption of intoxicants is not
diminished. Does:it not show
the need of temperance preach
ing?

CAMORR|ST IN TEARS
AS He FACES ACCUSER
Witnesses Describe Home of
Maria Stendardo as a
ScandaI0uS Place.

VITERBO. August 19.-Today's ses-
sion Of the trial OF the Camorrists was
again taken up with the testimony of
witnesses concerning the home Of Ma
ria Stendardo, an alleged resort of
criminals. Nicola Nora, who is al
legged to be one OF the actual murder
ers of Cuoccolo and his wife. is the
common-law husband of Maria STEM
dardo. and 1t Is charged that after the
commission Of the crime the Camorrists
went to the Stendardo home and
washed the blood from their hands.
Several of the witnesses today de-
scribed the Stendardo home as a scan
dalous place. At one time several
Americans who had been taken there
by an interpreter lost their purses
when inmates picked their pockets.
A coachnan named Rarbella, a friend
Of the informer Abbatemaggio. testified
that he saw Giuseppe Salvi. one OF the
alleged murderers of the Cuoccolos. who
bowed to him as he came out Of the
house in which the CuoccoIos were killed.
Salvi protested that he did not know Bar
bella, and. therefore. according to Gus
tom, could not have bowed to him. Presi-
dent Bianchi ordered Salvi out of the cage
to be confronted by Barbella.
When Barbella reiterated his accusa-
ton, Salvi fell upon his knees, and with
tears streaming down his face. cried: LAS
sure as God exists, SO sure am innocent.

DOUBT THAT SHUSTER
IS TO LEAVE PERSIA
Friends Here Believe Rumor
Was Originated by Enemies
of Government.

TEHERAN, Persia, August 19.-W
Morgan Shuster Of Washington, d. c.,
authorizes the statement that he is pre-
pared to resign his position as treasurer
general of the Persian government. as
the Anglo-Russian action regarding his
appointment of Maj. c. B. Stokes as head
Of the treasury gendarmerie has made
the effective occupation of his own post
impossible.
Mr.. shuster headed a commission OF
five Americans engaged by the Persian
government to rehabilitate the finances OF
Persia. Mr.. Shuster early met some op-
stacles. The Russian government oo-
jected to the employment Of Maj. Stokes
as head Of the treasury gendarmerie, and
England backed her up.
w. Morgan Shuster's friends in this
city said last night that they had re-
ceived no word from him indicating that
general OF Persia In fact, they were
inclined to take the report that he would
resign with a grain OF salt. The beiief
was expressed that the rumor had been
party in Persia and Of Mr.. Shuster.
Man Of Experience.
Mr. Shuster has been in Persia for
nearly three months. The Persian gov
ernment requested the United States to
recommend man whom Persia might
employ as chief financial adviser. Mr..
Shuster received high recommendation
and was selected by Ali Kahn. Persian

last April, with five other Americans. who
were to aid him in the work of reorgan-
izing the finances of Persia. among them
Ralph Nj. Hills of this city. He was
accompanied also by Mrs. Shuster and
their children.
Mr.. Shuster, though q young man. little
over thirty-two years old. has had much
experience in the customs service OF the
United States. He was in Cuba and also
in the Philippines. where he was a mem

is puzzling the local authorities.
superintendent Zinkham OF the District
iail does not want Ginslinger at his insti-
tuition because he is under seventeen
years of age.
Sergt. Bode. superintendent of the house
Of detention. where Juvenile prisoners US
ually are held awaiting trial. refused to
house Ginslinger on the ground that the
law required that the boy be kept in
Jail because the offense charged against
him was one involving the possibility OF
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Time Will Remove Objection.
However, young Ginslinger is in the
District jail, and as he will be seventeen
years old next Tuesday the question
raised by Superintendent Zinkham will
cease to vex that official In q short time.
Inspector Boardman, to whom the con-
troversy was referred. decided that the
boy should be held in the District Jail.
even though he was under the age at
which prisoners are usually sent to that
institution.
Superintendent Zinkham said yester-
day afternoon. that he had not looked
fully into the law and will do nothing
until he is fully satisfied on the point
raised. He mentioned the case of Barna-
dette Harris. who is held as a witness
against Mrs. Letitia Owens.
1t was admitted. however. that there is

witness. The superintendent refused
to accept her as prisoner. and she was
sent to the house of detention.
United States Attorney to Decide.
1t is probable the question of detain-
ing the Ginslinger boy in the Jail will be
settled tomorrow by the United States
attorney.
The police have not heard anything re-
garding the boys antecedents from the
Chicago authorities. Ginslinger gave his
address as 6513 Ellis avenue, Chicago.
when brought here from Philadelphia by
Detective Vermillion.
The detective brought him from Phila-
delphia in the automobile the boy is all
legged to have stolen. The machine was
not in the best Of condition, following
the hard drive the young man had made
two days previously. but the return trip
was made In almost record time, an ac-
cident causing a slight delay.
Ginslinger was able to point out the
road to the detective and the owner OF
the automobile. He displayed a famil-
iarity with the many different carsspassed
on the road. and said he was greatly in
terested in such vehicles.
my father used to own a car he said,
but he sold 1t before he left Chicago to
go to the southwest to look after contract
work.
The young mans case will be investi-
gated by the grand jury as soon as that
body meets this fall. 1t is believed his
relatives will be heard from before his
| case comes to trial. He says he was
never before arrested, and 1t is probable
| his relatives will eEdeavor to have him
