Berlin, Dec. 10.-The clash between
the civil authorities of Alsace-Lorraine
and the military element, which came
to head last week. has brought two
important though disagreeaDle facts
before the attention of the German
people: First. the bitterness still exist
ent among Alsatians against all things
German; secondly. the inability of
Chancellor won Bethmann-H -Hollweg to
cope with some of Germany's big in
ternal problems.
Hostility to the German government
is not a new thing in Alsace- Lorraine.
The people of the provinces which
were taken from France after the war
of 1870 have long been hostile to the
Prussien regime. They have shown
their hostility by being impudent and
insulting TO the military. The militant
element, on the other hand, mas famed
the flames of i1-feeling by being over
bearing and tactless.

BARBER SUES
ENGINEER
Judge Kopelke Hears Berth
old Kasper Case.

Judge KopeIke and a jury in the SUI
perior court today heard the evidence
in the civil suit instituted last spring
by Max Berthold. a Hammond barber,
against Joseph Kasper. the assistant
engineer at the Hammond pumping
station.
The suit involves sss3. which Bethold
says he paid to Joe Kasper in the sum
mer of 1910. when he (Bethold) had
the bath house concession at the Lake
Front park. He says he divided the
days receipts evenly with Kasper,
think that his concession depended to
that extent on Kasper's good will and
influence with the city administration.
Kasper's defense is that he and Berth
old were in a partnership, which paid
all bills Jointly and divided the re-
ceipts evenly. The question at issue
is whether or not Kasper received the
money under false pretenses Bethold
says he did. and Kasper says the part
nership in which he was a silent part
ner was of Bethold's own seeking.
Berthold received the concession
from the board of public works in an
open bid for S26.

Especial to THE TIMEv.l


Crown Point, Ind, Dec. 10.-As near
ly as on be determined now by Judge
III. b. Tuthill, who is to hear the i'm
peachment proceedings of Prosecuting
Attorney J. A. Patterson, the issues
will be made up week from tonight.
The evening hour is chosen so as not
to interfere with Judge Tuthilrs reg
ular court work on that day. The is
sues can be made up in an evening, 1t
is thought, and evidence can be intro
duced. The first of this will in all
probability be submitted on the follow
ing Saturday at Crown Point. The law
requires that an impeachment case go
to trial within twenty days of the time
1t is filed, and starting the case a
week from next Saturday will place it
within the twenty-day limit. 1t can
then be continued to suit the conven-
fence of all parties interested. No de-
lay is. however, intended. Judge Tut
hill will probably not be able to take
the case up on Monday after the Sat
urday on which the first evidence is in
troduced for the reason that he is due
TO set cases in Michigan City on this
day. He will make an effort however,
to take it up day or two later.
