CURRENCY DEMANDS
OF COTTON GROWERS
MAY HOLD UP BILLS
Southern Congressm e n
Threaten Filibuster
Against War Tax Measure
Unless They Are Granted
Requests.

WASHINGTON. Sept. %. - Southern
members of the House who have been
demanding emergency currency legisla-
ton especially for the benefit of the
cotton growers today, threaten a fill
buster against the war tax bill unless
the Administration and Congress show
some disposition to hear their COM
plants and grant their requests.
AS Representative Henry, chairman of
the Rules Committee, is one of the
chief agitators in favor of a currency
act whereby n billion dollars worth of
emergency currency would be turned
loose in the South. to be loaned to cot
ton growers. the Southern members be-
lieve they have fair chance to club the
House into submission.
1t Is understood that Chairman Henry
will do all he can to make trouble for
the Underwood gag rule which Is ne eces-
sary to get the war tax bill passed un-
less he finds that his cotton currency
bill will get chance.
The Ways and Means Committee have
planned to get the war tax bill through
the House In n hurry tomorrow after
noon under gag rule and steam roller
methods.
II enough Southern Democrats john
with the Republicans TO vote against the
rule and conduct a real filibuster, there
are grave doubts as to the passage of the
measure.

SUPREME COURT CONFIRMS
DR.. WILLIAM BACON'S APPEAL
Order Acts as superssdeas in Election
Contest.

The Supreme Court today gave an
order allowing the appeal of DR.. William
ID. Bacon from the decision OF Judge
Audenried confirming the report of the
special examiner in the contest brought
by DR.. Philip II. Moore. Moore contested
the election for Select Council In the
Hth Ward. and the Supreme Court ord4S
acts as a supersedeas on the lower courts
ruling.
The ofioial returns OF the election
showed Doctor Bacon, the Republican
candidate. to have been elected by seven
votes over Doctor Moore, the Fusion
candidate. When the ballot boxes were
opened before the examiner a number
OF ballots were found to have been i'm
properly counted for Doctor Bacon. and
others were not counted for Doctor
Moore. After a recount. the examiner
reported majority OF p votes for Doctor
Moore. An appeal was at once taken
when Judge Audenried confirmed the ex-
aminer's report, and the effect of the
supeTsedeas WILL prevent Doctor Bacon
from being Ousted from Councils until
the appeal has been finally disposed OF by
the Supreme Court. which probably viii
not be until next January.

GERMAN DIPLOMAT
STIRS WASHINGTON
BY DECIDED" VIEWS
Secretary, Newly Arrived
From Toxic, Stresses Anti
American Feeling in Inter-
view Obnoxious to Ad-
mlnistratlon.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - Because OF
as loose talk" Baron Wilhelm Freiherr
Won Schoen, recently secretary to the Ger
man Embassy at Toxic and freshly ar
rived to swell the staff on the German
Embassy In Washington. may be politely
requested to move on to some other cap
ital.
Baron Won Schoen talked at length in a
morning newspaper. His interview was
brought promptly to the attention of the
White House.
You may safely say" the Baron is
quoted as saying. that the mass of the
Japanese people believe war with the
United States Is inevitable. Throughout
Japan there is an intense hatred of the
American people,"
This declaration by a diplomat is re-
garded as being especially obnoxious at
the present time, when the Administra-
ton Is seeking to steer a neutral course
and avoid collision with other nations EN-
broiled in the European struggle. While
the White House had no statement to
make about the situation, 1t was evident
that the Administration was deeply in
censed.
The utterances OF Baron Won Schoen
were regarded today as especially un-
fortunate, in view OF the strained rela-
tlons now existing between the Admin
istration and the diplomatic representa-
tives of the Kaiser in this country.
On one or two occasions the statements
issued from the German Embassy have
stirred the Administration.

OVER THE PUBLIC INTEREST

His Language In Answering lnquir-
les Shows His Sensitiveness.
When Magistrate Joe" Call was in
terviewed this morning regarding the
recent changes in his office at 1lai
Girard avenue. brought about by Dis
trict Attorney Rotan's investigation fol-
lowing the recent straw bail scandal.
he seemed quite resentful that the pub
lie should be interested in the conduct
OF his official business. His remarks
were couched in such language that
they could not be printed. making It
quite evident that the Magistrate is
very sensitive to any inquiries as to the
personnel OF his office force.
He stated that tho amount OF clerical
work required by his duties is not large
and that 1t cannot be carried on tenn
porarily without the services OF a clerk
The Magistrate gave as his opinion
that the duties of his clerk are in
consequential that II matters little whom
he appoints TO the position. particularly
since the incumbent receives only 81 u
week salary.
e Mr.. Call did not vouchsafe any in
formation as to what other means OF
livelihood his clerks have to bring their
81 week up to a living wage. nor
would he explain the large fees believed
TO have been received by former en-
ployes.
The duties OF constable in the Mag
istFates office, since the dismissal of
Jake" Gilman. who was involved in
the straw bail diffiicultes. have been dis
charged by Frederick Nichterlein, OF
965 North 10th street. Previous to his
appointment by Mr., Call. Nichterlein,
although an electrician by trade, was
associated with his father, Theodore c.
Nichterlein, in a saloon business at
Eighth street and Girard avenue. Fred
erick Nichterlein's many friends in the
10Th Ward, where the Magistrates court
Is located, expect that he will make a
faithful and efficient constable.
Ward politicians regard the appoint
ment OF Nichterlein as a wise step on
the part Of Magistrate Call 10 smooth
over the rather ugly situation which has
arisen out of the alleged Irregularities
In his office. NichteTlein Undoubtedly

political and social emancipation of

ing out immediate reforms along the
lines of social legislation.
