Three Reasons
Against the Springs

Three incontrovertible reasons why
the mineral springs proposition ought
to be turned down, to-wit: Bressler
says so, Silver says so and Edwards
says so. Can you beat it?
Professor Silver has an argument
against the mineral springs PROPOSE
ton that is unanswerable. He says
that the springs water cannot be
pumped into Ashland with their min
eral and medicinal properties. When
asked "Why?" his answer is, BE
cause it can't" Can you answer that
argument?
Bressler says that the use of the
waters from the mineral springs are
dangerous and deleterious to the hui
man system. This is great. We take
off our hats to Bressler and nominate
him for the position of international
chemist to the Carnegie Peace Com
mission.
The following is suggested as an
eloquent, spectacular and patriotic
speech for Mr.. Bressler to make at
the close of the knockers " confer
ence tonight:
Ladies and Gentlemen: / have
just received a communication by way
of our Official medium from the spir-
itual realm, that in the election to-
morrow we will be licked to frazzle,
fried hard and turned over and flip
flopped like a pancake. / therefore
suggest that we take steps to get

He was asked if the three defend
ants were employed by Hearst alone
on June Is, the night of Witt shoot
ing, and said they were employed by
the Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton.
Police Officer H. L. Isaacson, who
was stationed near the car barns at
Western avenue and Division street
during the strike, testified for the de-
Tense and said the street car men are
all bitter against the strikebreakers.
He said at one time a street car crew
kidnapped boy who was selling scab
papers. He was backed up in this by
Peter ]. Klondon, another cop.
E. S. Tascher, 1901 N. 10th ave-

JUDGE RULES OUT PART OF
WITS DYING STATEMENT

All the newspapers in the Chicago
Newspaper Publishers Assn have
printed stories about the dying words
of Frank Witt, the union street car
conductor, shot during the newspaper
strike.
All of these trust press stories aim
to show Frank Witt as the aggressor,
the one who started the trouble with
the Barrett brothers and Arthur
Friedman. But none of the trust pa
pers have published anything but
fragments from the dying declaration
of Witt, as it went into the court rec
ord Saturday in the testimony Of
Robert S. Mcconnell, court reporter.
Not all of the statement of the dy-
ing man was allowed t ODE read to
the jury. Asst States Atty O'Brieh

versation of the dead man is import
ant and should be heard by the jury

as an arsenal during the newspaper
strike in testimony given today by
witness in trial of~the Barrett broth
ers and Arthur Friedman, charged
with the murder of Conductor Frank
Witt.
Harry L. Starkey, former circula-
ton manager of the Chicago Amer
lean, was hustled here from Cleve-
land by the Newspaper Publishers
Association to testify for the news
paper sluggers today.
On the stand today he testified that
everybody around the Hearst building
was armed during the strike and that
about $50 of his crew had permits.
All the testimony today concerned
the general conditions that prevailed
during the newspaper strike. The at
mosphere in court today was heavy
and sombre during the hearing of the
testimony. During lulls spectators
discussed the electrocution of the
four gunner in New York in gloomy
whispers.
Starkey, who had charge of the
men for the American during the
strike was the first witness.
He told first about the ornaments
at Fort" Hearst. Then he related
how several regular policemen kicked
because his crew carried revolvers
and of him sending them over to the
chief of police to get permits. e
81 knew it was all right for them
to get permits because l had talked
the matter over with Herbert Cary,
secretary of the Newspaper Publish
ers' Association, Starkey said. 81 re-
member sending the Barretts over for
permits l sent Ed Barrett over per-
sonally to get permit
when the defendants came back
after getting permits did you give
them revolvers?" asked Asst States
Attorney O'Brien.

CARGO BOATS
Which Carried Coal and Cereals
Are Transformed into
Ambulances.

Correspondence Of Associated Press>.
GENEVA, Dec. 3-The cargo boats
that formerly carried coal and cereals
on the Rhine have been transformed
into ambulances and are conveying
wounded soldiers from Colmar to
Cologne.
The German wounded generally are
well cared for in the hospitals along
the Rhine, but their numbers have
increased to such an extent since the
middle of October, that there have
not been enough doctors to give them
prompt attention, and many slightly
wounded have died on this account
So overworked are the surgeons that
they often fall asleep while on duty.
A story comes from Colmar to the
effect that a we'll known surgeon, az
ter having worked for fortnight
with very little. rest, fell asleep over
an important operation. Pressing
calls have been made upon the doc
tors in Germany, including the most
aged, to remedy the difficulty.

times, is the line of civilians who
want permits to leave. The line is
usually three abreast and stretches
a hundred yards or more into the
street. Permits are issued freely at
fees of from three to fifteen francs
each. !. X
In one of the great hotels of the
magnificent building is large table,
around which soldiers may usually
be seen, drinking beer from stems.
On the walls are hung the side arms
and accoutrements which have been
laid aside by the guard for greater
comfort while awaiting orders.
From time to time an officer comes
in and orders four men to go here, or
six there, and there is buckling on
of arms and the detachment leaves
with considerable hustle and clank-
ing.

S5,000,000 was distributed in nine

eighteen other states have adopted
his mothers pension plan.

RESERVE
BANKS ARE OPENED
CURRENCY SYSTEM LAUNCHED
THIS WEEK BRINGS NEW
BUSINESS ERA.

After months of work on the par,
of the federal reserve board and pre-
paration by the banks which are
members of the new system, the II
federal reserve banks opened their
doors to business last Monday. Their
entrance into the field of re-discount
marked the first great change in the
banking system of this country in
the last SO years. since the national
bank was conceived and called into
being after the Civil war.
The IL banks, designed to take
care of the commercial needs of the
entire nation, are located in the fol-
lowing cities: Boston. New York,
Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta,
Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, St.
Louis. Kansas City, Dallas and San
Francisco.
Present Scope Is Limited.
For the present the operations of
the banks will be limited largely to
the rediscounting of notes, drafts
and bills of exchange. but as exper-
ience is gained steps to have them
exercise their other functions under
the currency act will be taken.
The system starts with 1911 mem
ber banks. Their authorized capital
Is $105,795,600, Of which one-sixth
has been called and is in their vaults.
The exact figures for the cash re-
serves in all ~ banks have not been
accurately computed, but the esti-
mate puts the amount at close to
$3.50, 900, 900, drawn under the law
from the present reserve agents of
member banks.
Marks New Era, McAdoO Says.
In discussing the Inauguration of
the system Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo said:
"The opening of these banks marks
a new era in the history of business
and financiering in this country. 1t is
believed that they will put an end to
the annual anxiety from which the
country has suffered for the past gen.
erations about insufficient money and
credit to move the crops each year,
and will give such stability to the
banking business that the extreme
fluctuations in interest rates and ava
luctuation in interest rates and
available credits which have charac-
terized banking in the past will be
destroyed permanently"
