A PECULIAR SCANDAL
Involved in the Famous Cug-
genheim Divorce Case.
(National News Association

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 5.-Perhaps the
most peculiar legal scandal ever ex-
posed in a Chicago court will come to
a focus in the trial of the suit of Mrs.
Grace B. Guggenheim to annul the d.
vorce granted her in 1901 from Will
liam Guggenheim, millionaire member
of the famous smelter trust family,
which came up for hearing today be-
fore Judge Thomas G. Windes in the
circuit court. Popular interest in the
case has been aroused to q great de-
gree because the suit comes before
Judge Windes IS the result of charges
made by Judge A. J. Petit that an at
tempt to influence him in his decision
was made short time ago by some
one acting in the interest of Guggen.

The matrimonial difficulties of the
Guggenheims have been frequently be-

helm is seeking to have the divorce
she obtained from her husband in
1901 set aside on the ground that she
was not legal resident of Illinois al
the time she received her decree from
the Chicago court. The remarriage OF
the husband since the divorce has
tended to further complicate the sit
uation.

Speculation is at the minimum and
liquidation has eliminated many weak
spots. This applies not only to finan-
cial affairs, but to business in gen
eral. The long period of conservatism
which the country is passing through
is after all building sure foundation
for a fresh forward movement when
present uncertainties have disappear
ed, as they ultimately will. The sur
plus reserve of the banks at New
York now stands at about $45, ZOO, 900,
the highest point for a number of
years at this period. Our financial
strength has been further augmented
by the excellent condition of our for
eign trade, the excess of exports piling
up our credit balances upon the other
side higher and higher. This and the
relatively better rates for money in
European markets have enabled our
banks to extend their advances to
Germany, which matured in January,
thus facilitating the placing of the re-
cent $125, ZOO, 900 German loan in Eu-
rope. 1t is estimated that American
lians abroad today run as high as
$3.50 ,OOO, 900, or almost as great as at
any time during 1911.

sakes and Sentiment.
Most everything is being sacrificed
nowadays to the spirit Of practicable

cause desk room is needed. The

All of this destruction of "auld lang

most interesting place in or near
Washington is Mount Vernon. The
most magnificent square in Philadel-

valuable spot in Texas is the old
Alamo at San Antonio. Such places
as these contain the story Of Ameri-

When two spiders fight there is gen.
orally good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
certain time spiders become inca
pable of spinning a web from lack of
material. The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited: therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed But
they can avail themselves Of the web
producing powers Of their younger
neighbors, and this they do without
scruple. AS soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become e.
hausted and its last web destroyed it

and unless it should chance to find one

fspecial from Tinted Press,

Berlin, Feb. 1G-With the dawning public realization that this weeks ex- change of notes between the United States and Germany, seeking to pro- tect the Chinese open door, is prob ably the most important step ever taken in the direction of German American diplomatic cooperation, the German foreign office, through As sistant Foreign Secretary Zimmerman, today gave the United Press a s,ate- ment of the attitude of the German government.
 The action of the United States and Germany in joining hands to preserve neutrality in China Is now re -ognized as an epoch-naking diplomatic achievement, in view of the fact that 1t is the most important move ever made jointly by the two nations.
 While the foreign office naturally will not comment on the diplomatic phase of the situation, it is apparent that the Kaiser's government is L.at- flied at the success of Count Won Bernstorff in securing the cooperation of the American State Department. The general impression here Is that Germany is now in thorough acco with American diplomacy. The com ment of Der. in newspapers is distinct ly favorable to the action of Amba sador Bernstorff and Secretary of State Knox. The statement given by the foreign office to the United Press follows:
 Secretary of State Knox's answer to Ambassador Count Won Berns'orff s inquiry concerning Americas attitude toward China has caused great Sat1s- faction to Germany.
 +'The scope and object of the Amer ican- German exchange of notes were to make it known that the preserva- tion of neutrality by all powers to- ward Chinese events, is now in the mutual interests of both countries.
 The note of Secretary of S+ate Knox contains valuable statements of promises given by the powers to ab- stain from interven ion as long as possible and in case pnexrected Inter vention becomes necessary to assure a joint mutual agreement before talk ing actionI
 'sTherefore, the note has been greet ed with satisfaction and plea sure here. It is hoped that the note wi have a favorable effect in China and will facilitate settlement between the conflicting Chinese parties"
 While the foreign office positively declined to go into further detals, 1t was learned in semi-offlcial quarters that Germany, feeling isolated in the far east, as against a, group composed of Eng and, Japan and Russia, with their territorial interests and the pos sibIe designs of one or more of them, turned to America.
 Neither America nor Germany hav- ing territorial designs or interests In China, the exchange of notes has a twofoId purpose.
 Ffrst-it serves to notify the other
