GERMAN PARTNERS

Banker Here Tells of Message
in Regard to Business
Introduction.

Chamber Of German-American
Commerce Gives Out state
ment Of Financicr.

That Great Britain IL aiming 10 wreck
Germany's economic life as well as to
destroy its naval and military power was
the purport OF a statement made yester-
day by the Chamber OF German American
Commerce. According to the statement.
"a we'll known banker of New York, who
refused to permit his name TO be used.
has received cable message saying that
the British Government has prohibited
banking dealings with all business estab-
lishments that have German partners.
The brief message did not say whether
this ban applies only to foreign offices Of
firms having connections in Germany or
to all firms outside OF Germany. including
those OF the United States. which may
have even single partner OF German
citizenship.
At the Chamber Of German American
Commerce 1t was said that the natural
result OF this Introduction will be to make
New York instead OF London the principal
place OF financial clearings. the bills Of
exchanges being drawn in dollars instead
of pounds sterling.
"The declaration of the moratorium and
it's far reaching consequences for Germany
were not generally understood In this
country" the banker who received the
message was quoted as saying. THE Eng
lish moratorium was extended until Octo-
Der 4. which means that all banks sus-
pended their collection business until that
date Those who understand the close
ness Of German commerce with the Eng
lish banking institutions realize the grav-
lily of the situation.

DRYS TO DECIDE ON LAYING
VOTE BUYING BEFORE COURT

Inc executive committee of the dry
organization will hold a meeting at
noon tomorrow and will decide wheth-
er TO nave evidence pertaining to al
legged election frauds collected for sub
mission to the grand jury, or to take
no further action in the matter and
leave 1t up to the prosecutor and the
grand jury to collect the evidence
themselves.
Il cannot speak in behalf of the ex-
ecutive committee but it is my per-
sonal opinion that it will decide to as
sist the grand jury and Prosecutor
Keller in every way possible by the
collection of evidence pertaining to
election law violations" said S. E.
Nicholson, chairman of the citizens
committee of one hundred.
Mr.. Nicholson said subcommittee
had reported to him before and after
the election of frauds on the part of
the wet workers.
Have charges been made to you
that there was the actual giving of
money or the promising Of money to
Influence voters?" Mr. Nicholson was
asked.
Such cases We're reported but
have no definite information concern
ing the same at the present time" he
replied.
Mr.. Nicholson states that informa-
ton concerning illegal naturalization
of a foreigner was offered Prosecutor
Keller prior to the election, but he
said he would take no action until
after the election. Mr. Nicholson also
said that information concerning
frauds were reported to the prosecu-
tor on election day and he again said
that he would submit all charges to
the grand jury.

to say to the jurors and will place the
entire matter practically in the hands
of Attorney Keller.
"Reller is justified in asking for a
jury" said the judge. But II the
men who are making these charges
would come forward and swear out at
fidavits or voluntarily present their
testimony, it would save the county

Leaders of the wet organization
stated today if the dry committee in
sisted on pressing alleged fraud
charges they would be prepared to

forgiving, but if the dry organization
insists on being aggressive in the
pressing of alleged fraud charges they
will find the vets are prepared. We
conducted our part of the campaign
clearly, but we have some interesting
evidence which reflects upon certain
dry leaders" remarked Benjamin G.
Price chairman of the wet executive
committee.

To illustrate the somewhat vague
conception of the United States, es-
pecially the Hoosier state, the people
of Europe hold, story told by Will
liam H. Duning. ST., at the meeting
of the South Side Improvement asso-
citation, is typical.
Mr.. Duning is veteran of the i'm
perial body guard of the kaiser, and
at the time the emperor was a young
man, was member of the same COM
pany, of which the present ruler was
captain. The emperor and his fol-
lowers became fast friends, SO when
William II celebrated his twenty-fifth
jubilee of his reign, he summoned the
Richmond man to attend the fes-
tivities.
While in Germany Mr. Duning asked
the kaiser if he could get a few of the
old style rifles SO that he could or
ganize military compay.
What do you want with the rifles
shoot Indians?" queried the emper-
or. We'll, I'll see about it."
Duning replied that he merely de-
sired to organize a drilling corps of
vets.
In many places in Europe the con-
"
city is that of a wilderness, with bears
and Indians roaming at will
Mr.. Duning returned to his home,
and few days ago received a box
from Germany. 1t contained the rifles
and number of different kind of uni
forms.
Last evening Mr.. Duning, Fred
Hackman and Colonel Grunzke
dressed in the different uniforms and
showed the men in attendance at the
meeting the costumes used in the Ger
man army.
Colonel Grunzke was a picturesque
figure dressed in the brilliant cos
tune of the royal hussars. The hus-
sar is the cavalry branch of the Ger
many army.
