But the naturalization bureau also

necessary that one prove that ne is

he could not produce any Official docu-

DuInont finally succeeded in getting
a certificate OF birth on Swiss territory.

research, Louis Kaufman, So years old,
ended his life in his apartment at 24s
West 10th street last night. He had
undergone several operations designed
to relieve him and to afford the sur
geons an opportunity for research in
the nature OF the disease.
But a few hours before his death
Mr.. Kaufman had said he would be
willing to die at once if by his death
knowledge could be obtained which
would lessen the sufferings OF others
with like affliction- Operations had
been performed on him III the Johns

fered started in his neck and had
spread to a shoulder and arm.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS WORRIED
OVER CONTINUANCE OF
EUROPEAN CONFLICT.
TO BE COMPELLED TO
CONTINUE UNPOPULAR LAW
Probable Present Measure Will Be
Modified and Changed at Expiration
Of Year-Nearns.. Of Presidential
Election Makes Financial Act Menace
to Party in Power.
lspecia, correspondence.>

Washington, Dec 31-The war rev.
concern to the democratic leaders. They
are beginning to wonder what will
happen if the European struggle is not
over by this time next year. For rea-
sons that appertain less to the human
itarian phases Of things than TO Ameri-
can politics, they are fervently hoping
not only that the war will close soon
but that as soon as 1t is over there
will be signs of speedy revival of trade
between the United States and the bel
liserents.
The democratic leaders, in other
words, are looking ahead to the time
when a new war revenue measure VIII
DE necessary. For il the war continues.
there will doubtless be demand either
for an extension Of the present law for
another year or for the enactment OF
new law.
Presidential Year Near.
The year of grace, 1915, is drawing
rapidly near and. naturally, the demo-
cratic political captains do not like to
enter on a presidential campaign with
for more reasons than one they are fer
vently hoping for the speedy conclusion
of the war.
In theory. 1t ought to he possible to
get along without a war tax and by
cutting down appropriations. But this
theory will not be worked out. The APP
propriations are not being reduced and
are not going 10 be reduced, according
10 the present tendencies in congress
ard the departments So there looms
up before the American people the
prospect OF having war tax to bear
for an indefinite time The present
war tax Law will run thru 1915 and ex-
pire with the end OF that year.
Law to Be Modified.
The estimates in ways and means
circles are that the customs revenues
will run behind about s70.000.000 this
fiscal year but that the war revenue
measure will produce from 100000 900
to s90.o00.0Do Thus. 1t Is expected. a
deficit will be avoided And II viii also
he possible to leave large sums Of pub
lie money in banks for months to come.
AS a matter Of fact, 1t is admitted that
that real object of the war revenue Law
was 10 ohviate the need of drawing in
from the banks large sums of public
money which had been deposited with
them
Never popular with congress. it IS
not unlikely the present war tax stat
ute viii be overhauIed and modified II
it becomes needful to raise so-called
war revenues after the calender year.

consequently the governments Of
Belgium and England have no knovl

The employment of Beigians in Eng

Relief committees have not encouraged
Belgians to accept employment where
they would compete with English labor

Some Belgians have been leaving
England for the United States, but
they are chiefly older men and women

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Rain interfering

Certainty as to the export outlook gave
an advantage to the bears. II was an

Afterward a decided rally took place

amounted to 100000 bushels. The
close was unsettled a. 3 TO Is net

Absence of any urgent demand
weakened corn. The market also was
affected by the setback in wheat. The
opening. which varied from a shade

The close was nervous, i TO s cent

Oats.
Oats took the same course as corn.
Trade was generally moderate.
Provisions.
Higher prices for hogs tended TO Mft

have a monopoly on the selling.
