Dubuque, la, Dec. 11.-While no
announcement of the amount of his
Irregularities have been made, il Is
known that Frank j. Neuwoehner,
teller at the German Trust and Saw

His whereabouts is not known. A
formal statement today was made by
bank officials announcing whatever
Irregularities may be revealed are
fully covered by his surety bond, and
stating that he is no longer in the
employ of the institution.
1t is stated Neuwoehner was living
beyond his means; that he maintain
ed a social stride out of keeping with
his salary; that he owned a summer
cottage on the river and maintained
a launch.
In connection with the above, II is

MADISON CITIZENS ARE GIVEN
POINTERS ON ILLUMINATING
CHRISTMAS TREES.

If you have a desire to be on the

Yuletide, take a peep at hints gratu-
tiously given Madisonites today by an
expert on fires
Theo. +. Crete, of Sioux Falls. who
has been an adjuster of fire losses
for thirty years, is tra~nsacting bust
ness in the city today. When the
question of the large number of fires
which invariably break out during
the holiday season was brought up at
the Lake Park hotel. where he is a
guest, Mr.. Crete was asked If he
would suggest preventive measures.
He said
above all, IL Is advisable to have
near Christmas trees on which there
are lighted candles. a pail OF water.
In proximity to large trees such as
are used in churches and other pub
lie places ii is well to have water and
a force pump or a hose attachment.
Use as little as possible inflam-
able materials in decorations. For
trimming trees and rooms use ashes
tos and other noncumbustible things.
Very safe and convenient orna-
ments are fireproof Christmas trees.
which are composed of a composition
that will not take flame, and which
fold up like an umbrella. They have
the appearance of the evergreen. and
their cost is moderate.
do not have paper, cotton or cot
ton cloth decorations where they can
be blown onto lighted candles. Never
wrap such decorations around cleo
trio lights, in carrying out illuminat-
ing schemes.
DO not place paper or cloth deco
rations directly over Christmas trees
where they would be readily set In
flames IL the tree caught on fire.
Take care in stringing lighted
candles with inflammable materials
across rooms. The strings may break
or become burned in two, causing the
candles and fire to fall on attendants
and guests.
Never leave unattended a tree
which is lighted up. The danger is
greatest after the candles have burn
ed low. often permitting of their
flames coming in contact with
branches that had not at first been
noticed.
Exercise caution"

HERE TO SETTLE
ADJUSTERS ARRIVE TO ASCER-
TAIN DAMAGE DONE IN CEN
TRIAL SCHOOL FIRE.

Proposals were made to the city
school board today to have a con
tractor make an estimate of the dam
age done in the fire last Monday
morning which wrecked the original
unit of the Central school.
To get a line on the loss sustained
by the fire, Thee. f. Crete and C. NJ.
Buchanan, adjusters, representing
the five Insurance companies who
had risks on the school building, ar
rived this morning from Sioux Falls.
The adjusters investigated the ruins
and interviewed members of the
school board.
They said they would suggest that
a local contractor figure out the cost
of placing the building in the same
condition 1T was before the fire, and
submit the estimate for the approval
of the board and the insurance com
panies. The school board has taken
no formal action in the settlement,
and will not until after a meeting Of
that body Is held. IL was said today
by the secretary, II. II. Holdridge.
1t Is thought that the board will,
without doubt, receive the full $1S.-
900 for which the building was in
sured. The structure and its con-
tents cost $4,000. and the loss is
pretty generally considered to be al
most total.

Most New Men Are Repub|i-
cans and Follow Mann.
TWO LEADERS MAY CLASH.
Opposition TO Presidents Preparedness
Program Not Well Organized and
Has Little Public Sentiment on Its
Side-The Result Is Almost Assured
Success For Administrators Bills.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Dec. IL. - Especial. -
While the men old in service have
been attending 70 the preliminaries
and getting the machinery In working
order for the long session of congress,
the 140 new members of the house
have been trying TO get acquainted
with those who do things and who
will have the yea and nay Of much
that occurs In the future.
AS the new men are mostly Repub-
leans they have been giving their at.
tention TO Jim Mann, who possesses a
power In the house that IL seldom ac-
corded a minority leader. Mann was
powerful In the last two congresses
by reason OF his friendliness with Os-
car Underwood, the leader. In this
congress 1t is just possible that he will
clash with the new leader, Kitchin.
and by SO doing unite his own follow
ing and at times divide the opposition.
Presidents Preparedness Program.
The opposition 10 the presidents pre-
~paredness program is of such a charac-
ter as to make the measure almost an
assured success. Those conducting the
opposition did not have the foresight
TO meet the game the other fellows
lie sentiment on their side: they were
not even shrewd enough to get their
side before the people. The result is
that most Of the congressman, without
any word from home. have decided to
go along with the president as the
easiest way. While it is possible the
president will not get all he asks for,
there Is a lurking suspicion hat he
will get all he actually wants and will
have a record for taking steps to de-
fend the nation I o meet most OF the
clamor that has been raised.
Gathering Them In.
The waiting process seems to have
been effective in gathering in the Dem
purchase bill. BY promising to turn
the ships back into private ownership
when the merchant marine is re-estab-
lished and to have them considered
wholly as navy auxiliaries 1t Is quite
possible that the Democrats who OPP
posed the presidents bill III the last
congress will come to his support In
this session.
1t Is quite likely that such a measure
will ALLEVIATE the progressive Repub-
leans, such as La Toilette, Norris and
Kenyon, but the gain Of Democrats
and a united party will more than of
set the loss. The Progressives want
government ownership pure and sim
pie.

Colonel Cecil Lyon was once the
