looks as il the dealers will clean up

BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
JERSEY CITY, N. J.. Dec. "a
What is considered a sweeping deci-
sion in favor of the Schwartz Broth
ers Company in the "pickled horse"
case was handed down today by Judge
Carrick in the first district court. The
first OF the ive charges brought by the
government against the Kearney con-
cern was decided in their favor, and
since the other four cases are based
on the assumption that the concern
picked horse meat. the latter part of
July, and Judge Carrick ruled that
none was pickled later than June, it is
believed by George l.. Record. counsel
for the Kearney firm that the govern
ment has lost out completely.
Judge Carrick ruled first that no
horse meat was picked for domestic
consumption. but altogether for for
eign use He also declared that evil
denec showed that nothing but horse
flesh was picked and that no diseased
COWS we're ever used by the company.
Speaking about the decision, Mr..
Record said:
I'VE received a clean bill of health
and believe we will win the other

COULDN'T TAKE
ANY TESTIMONY
German Law Wouldn't Per-
nit Mr.. Kurtz to Sit as
Commissioner

William F. Kurtz, the commissioner
appointed by the Superior Court to
take testimony in the divorce suit of
John Bancroft. Jr.. and his wife, re-
turned last evening from Munich,
Germany. accompanied by ]. Harvey
Whiteman and Mr.. Bancroft. None
Of those interested would make any
statement about the matter. but Com
missioner Kurtz will. in a few days,
make his report 10 the court. -
Il has been learned. however. that
when Commissioner Kurtz attempted
TO take testimony. there was opposi-
tion, and he was informed by German
lawyers that If under his commission
from the Delaware courts he attempt
ed to exercise judicial functions and
to take testimony he would be liable
to arrest and Imprisonment by the
German authorities.
II was agreed, however. that Mr..
Kurtz could gather Information
and he sat in the office of the Ameri-
can consul at Munich for the purpose
H obtaining information. There
was no way in which the presence ot
witnesses could be obtained by judic-
ial process and only voluntary wit
nesses could be heard. II Is said
that one woman came forward and
gave Mr.. Kurtz some information.
Max Heibler. who has been men,
toned in connection with the case
did not appear before Commissioner
Kurtz and it is said that he did not
see him.
It is said that the only way in
which legal testimony could be taker
would be through a diplomatic pro.
cess and an application by the courts
of this state to the Bavarian courts
The latter could. as a matter o.
courtesy. empower an American com
missioner to take testimony. The
American vice-Consul acted as inter
prefer during the hearing of the In
formation given by the one'voluutarV
witness. Some provision may o'
made TO get the German testimony.

LONDON. Dec. 23.-A melancholy
Christmas is in store for London.
Santa Claus will have to spread out
bis stock of presents so very thin
Two hundred thousand homeless
wanderers will spend the night be-
fore Christmas sleeping on the iron
benches in the parks or under
bridges. places which Santa and his
reindeer never visit.
London is the richest city in the
world, but several hundred thousand
Of her male residents are without
work. On the day that the entire
world is celebrating. these men and
their families will be haunted by the
fear Of eviction for inability to pay
rent.
The majority of the very wealthy
residents have left London for the
holidays. Most of the fashionable
residences in the west end before
which poverty stricken children are
accustomed to assemble on Christmas
morning and trill their carols
are closed. So there will be no
liveried servants sent out with small
Nsoins for the shivering souls.
The Salvation Army and the Church
Army will each feed 10000 people on
Christmas Day Two hundred thOus.
and gifts will be distributed by
friends of the poor. The presents
are marvellous in their variety. One
dentist has contributed a dozen se,S
of false teeth. A landlord has Of
fered a small farm. A man in Wales
donates a mountain-one that Is ful

will afford work for one hundred
men. he says.

London Daily Graphic will give prac
