the water caused considera bile damage to
the lumber which was ready to he
shiped.
When the trouble was over, it was
found that the fire fighters had saved 4

of the shed and the fire damage was
mostly confined to the roof of the build

other damage was that done by water

Dixen and Other Leaders Well
Pleased With Meeting ,

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 12.-Joseph Dixon,
chairman, and the other progressive
leaders today expressed themselves AS
gratified with the results of the pro-
gressives' conference which formally
closed last night, although most of the
delegates didn't leave until today.
"EVerything has gone smoothly"
said Senator Dixon, "and / think we
have accomplished results"
Colonel Roosevelt departed quietly
for New York over the Lake Shore at
1915 o'clock after three days at the
conference. The colonel left his no
tel practically unobserVed and, ac-
companed by Governor Bass of New
Hampshire and Medill Mccormick,
motored to the station, where he was
recognized by but a few. There was
no demonstration.
Plans for a committee of seven
members, who will study the social
conditions of northern Europe, are de-
Veloping rapidly. The committee will
consist of two representatives OF
the agricultural interests, two of the
labor interests, one professor of econ
omics and two others chosen without
reference to profession. Mccormick
will probably be the secretary Of the
body, which will probably sail in

AGED PRINCE
Died TODAY
Was Oldest Reigning Prince
IN Europe u

Munich, Bavaria, Dec. 12.-Luitpold,
prince regent of Bavaria, died here to-
day. aged 81 years. He has been fail
ing iy heaItir for some time and his
death was not unexpected.
Z Luitpold was the oldest ruling prince
in Europe in point of years. The i'm
mediate cause of Liutpold's death was
bronchial catarrh. which was aggra-
waited by the feebIeness of old age. He
died before his oldest son, Ludwig,
could reach his side from the latter's
estates in Hungary, which he left
Monday when he heard Of the illness
of his father.
The death of the aged prince caused
deep and sincere grief throughout Eu-
rope. Luitpold had lived a useful life
as a great German military leader
previous to 1896, when he was called
unon to take throne of Bavaria, the
second largest estate in the German
empire. His call to the regency was
the result of the insanity of King
Ludwig II and a brother of King Otto.

MUSE Of War GOD
WON'T Be MUzzLED
SHE BURSTS FORTH AGAIN AND
RECEIVES sCoL0ING AT HANDS
AT DEPARTMENT.

Washington. Dec. 12.-No sooner
was the muse of the war god muz-
zled through diplomacy in the case of
Capt. George Steunenberg Of the
Twenty fifth United States infantry,
who came under the notice of Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief of staff, few
days ago, because of poem regarding
the influence of the German army
training on the defeated Turkish
forces, than she bursts forth again in
verse and receives a scolding at the
hands of the war department.
Verses Recited at Function.
Nearly every officer in the depart
ment located here is talking about the
newly written verses, which are said
to have been recited at recent func-
tions where army officers foregathered
How the Response Goes.
The verses run:
We've waved on high the Stars and
We've made our country known to
fame;
We've licked, in three successive wars,
Old England, Mexico and Spain;
That chip is on our shoulders yet.
Don't you forget; don't you forget!
So Kaiser Wilhelm, be advised,
Don't knock that chip off-under-
stand?
For, If you do, you'll be chastised
And we'll annex the Fatherland.
We mention this with some regret,
Lest you forget! Lest you forget!
Author Is Not Located.
The author of the new verses has
not come to the front to claim credit
for them. Neither is 1t likely that he
will, the army officers declare.

War ON
The HORSE
SHOERS
Take Steps to AnnuI Hsrse
ShOerS Combine
W'lckersham After Horse Shoers
Trust in U. S.
Says There Is Combine With
the Manufacturers

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 12.-The federal
government filed a civil anti trust suit
here today against the horse shoers
trust; in a petition in equity. Attor-
ney General Wickersham seeks In
functions against the Master Horse
shoers Protective association, its of
ticers and the manufacturers of drilled
horse shoes, adjustable calks and rub
her hoof pads, from continuing the al
legged combination and conspiracy to
confine the sale of articles in this coun-
try and Canada to horseshoers and
prevent their sale direct to horse own
ers n' ""
Through unlawful agreements and
contracts, 1t is charged, the defendants
have seriously interfered with inter-
state and foreign commerce in Yiola-
tion of the Sherman law.
Among the defendants named are:
the Diamond Calk and Horse Shoe CO.;
the Giant Grip Horse Shoe Co. of Wis
consin. The petition is filed by u. S.
Atty. Clyde Webber, and signed by
Wickersham and two assistants.
Almost all horse shoeing. the govern
ment contends, is now done at the
shops of the members of defendant
horseshoers' association, organized in
1903 to succeed the voluntary associa-
ton. This alleged verbal agreement
between the association and the manu-
facturers of drilled horse shoes and
adjustable. calks provides that such
manufacturers market their. product
through the hardware jobbers, which
empowers the manufa cturer to fix the
price at which the jobber sells to the
retail hardware dealers. ...-.
The agreement stipulates, it is charg-
ed, that in the states other than Mon
tana, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and
Idaho shoes and calks are sold at a
price SO 1-3 per cent above the price
charged the horseshoers while in those
five states the price is so per- cent
above. .....aEs ..
The government asks for the annul-
ment of the agreements and the pro-
hibition of the alleged discrimination.
