QUARREL At BARTH FUNERAL
His Granddaughter, After Dispute, Re-
fused to Attend Services Over
Denver Pioneer.

Denver, Dec. 21.-Detectives at the
door and quarrel inside the house,
almost over the bier, gave .sensa-
tional turn yesterday to the funeral of
William Barth, millionaire pioneer of
Denver, who died few days ago.
Barth's death was attributed, in
large measure, to worry over litigation
involving his estate of six million dol
lars, in which he charged that Frank
E. Brookman, and his wife, who had
been the widow of Barth's son. had
plotted against him. An added sorrow
in his closing days was the fact that
his granddaughter, Miss Charlotte
Barth, who will inherit practically all
of his estate, cast her lot with the
Brookmans, whom he termed his
enemies"
Morris e. Long, nephew, and Mrs.
Anna Haag, sister. both from Kan
sas City, came here for the funeral.
After consultation with other rela.
lives, they decided to bar the Brook
mans, from the funeral, and stationed
detectives at the door to keep them
out Of the house. When they came up
in carriage, accompanied by Char
lotte Barth,. they we're refused admit.

Before Congress.
PROFITABLE U. S. INDUSTRY
German sympathizers Insist that
American Firms are Sending
Munitions to Allies.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Much inter
est is taken here in the attempt of
Representative Bartholdt of Missouri
and other congressman of German
origin to have the government prevent
the sale of any munitions of war to
any of the European belligerents.
One of the chief supporters of the
proposed government restriction Is
George Sylvester Viereck, editor Of
the Fatherland, who says:
"All the arms and powder factories
in this country have European con-
tracts for two and half years for
their entire output Were the war ma
terial shipped from the United States
20 the Allies withheld the war would
come to an end in sixty days
The Plight Of the Allies.
In proof of his statement Mr.. Vie
reck goes into detail about the con-
tracts each factory has received, the
Crucible Steel Company having ~
million dollar contract with Russia;
England getting 100000 rifles and 200
million cartridges from the Remng-
ton Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge
Company and so on.
He declares that: LAS for Russia
she would be Immediately at the end
of her resources were the American
markets closed. She has but one fac
tory of any consequence, the Putlow
Works.
IF American war supplies were cut
off from France she could carry on the
war in a weak way as she has some
factories of her own.
AS to England, she could not go on
charging her forces on the present
scale without the hundreds of thou
sands of rifles and millions of rounds
of ammunition being shipped to her
from the United States"
What the Other Side Says.
Opponents of the plan insist that
1t is directly contrary to the policy
which the government has pursued
from its foundation. The practice of
the United States government and the
principles of international law upon
which it is based are set forth in the
works of innumerable text writer's, in
Moore's Digest Of International Law,
and in the decisions of courts.
American citizens have always
freely sold arms and ammunition to
states at war. They are sold and ex.
ported subject to the risk of capture
as contraband. Other nations have
done the same. To prohibit exports Of
these commodities, it is contended,
would be to place an unwarrantable
embargo upon some Of our important
industries. It would take the bread !
out of the mouths of tens of thousands |
of American wage earners. 1t would
add to the burden the war has placed |
upon our trade, already heavy enough.

Christmas, the celebration OF the

while it cannot, too, but be a time of
