GERMANY EXTENDS
LIST OF CONTRABANDS

Washington, April 24.-The state
department has received with some
concern news from Berlin telling of
amendments to the prize rules of the
German navy, which, II correctly re-
ported, constitute an even greater
menace to neutral shipping than the
rules promulgated by England, con-
corning which this country made Wig
orous protest.
The new rules declare field glass
es, nautical instruments, pig lead.
aeroplanes, coal and coke absolute
contraband. and add wool. rubber,
iron and several other ores to the
list of conditional contraband. Just
as in the British rules the Germans
prescribe that these latter articles
shall be considered contraband II con.
signed Ito order" or to person
whose name does not appear in the
ships papers. or to a person in en-.
emy territory.
The regulations provide that ship
laden with goods on the conditional
contraband list, thus consigned, shall
be liable to arrest even though she
is bound to a neutral port The rules
go farther than England's in that
they provide for confiscation of con-
traband without regard to the con-
signee for no other reason than that
the ship Is carrying a cargo to neu-
trail country from which any of the
nations at war with Germany are
known to be obtaining articles and
supplies Of the kind in question.

Roosevelt Believed Boss"
Had Good and Bad Sides.
DID NOT INTEND MALICE
Former President Declares His At
tacks on Republican Leader Were
Not Wanton-ls Given Free Hand
in Describing Plaintiff In Case.

Syracuse. y. ", April 24.-During
the second day of his cross-examina-
ton in the supreme court here Theo-
dore Roosevelt said that he had re-
garded William Barnes as "a sort of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. who. like
other politicians, had his good sides
and his bad sides"
The colonel said he did not. as sug-
gested by William Ivins, his cross
examiner, try to sever the ligaments
between these Siamese twins of pol
itics." Quite on the contrary, he de-
clared he endeavored to have the "Dr.
Jeykll' in them absorb the Mr..
Hyde"
Ii was the coloneps fourth day upon
the witness stand and he seemed to
be as fresh as he was on the first
day. More letters, tending to show
the friendly relations between himself
and Mr.. Barnes, were introduced in
to the record.
Colonel Roosevelt admitted that he
had complied with many of the sug-
gestions made to him by Mr. Barnes
in regard to the filling of offices in
the state government during the two
years he was governor.
Roosevelt frankly analyzed Barnes
character. his moral standards, polit-
ically, while Barnes gazed at him i'm
passively, but In rapt attention.
Tried to Bring Out Good Points.
In detail Roosevelt told of their
former friendship, of his efforts to
bring out the good" in Barnes. He
said he frequently demonstrated with
Barnes, who "habitually" said the
people were unable to govern them
selves.
Roosevelt's testimony was the
most personally intimate. regarding
his opinion of Barnes, he ever ex.
pressed. He was emphatic, earnest
but without temper In describing
Barnes, who, he said, like many 9th.
er politicians. had two moral stand.
ards, one for public and one for pri.
vate life. Without praise he said he
regarded Barnes as having great po
tential ability and power If he would
only develop the good side."
II never meant to make any mali
c.ous or wHnton attacks on Barnes,
said Roosevelt. Il never meant to
make any attack upon him If could
avoid IL. When / attacked Barnes II
wusn't wantonly."
Roosevelt was given a free hand in
describing Barnes, whose lawyers
sought to show that the colonel and
their client fell out only when Barnes
disagreed with him.

The moot question which Justice
Hendrick had to decide was whether
the court had power to grant a jury

power.

Harry Lauder, the famous
Scotch comedian, who has
made millions laugh, and who
commands a fabulous salary for
his vaudeville sketches, be-
lieves in thrift. He wouldn't
be a Scotchman if he did not.
Easy come. easy go" is the
rule in professions where big
money is made for little effort.
The theatrical profession is
noted for it's spending propen-
sites, but Harry believes in
saving. Out of his earnings
he accumulated enough to SUBJ
scribe $50, 600 to the British
War Loan-patriotis,n at four
per cent.
Harry has a few homely
maxims on thrift that have
been widely circulated during
the war period, in the hope
that his followers would profit
thereby. m i t h wadna

would be disgracing her men,

A writer in a recent issue of
the Non Partisan Leader shows
Conclusively the folly of 'stor-
ing grain in the elevator and
holding for higher prices. AS
a matter of fact the grain is
not stored at all. 1t is dumped
onto the market a nd sold to
supply the demand, thus keep
ing the prices down. T h e
farmer merely gets a slip of
paper, while in the meantime
the grain combine has both the
wheat and the money. The
only way to store wheat with
the prospects of an advance is
to keep it off the market. This
is not done by exchanging it at
the elevator for a storage
ticket.

some Of his rules:
l. Behave toward your purse

2. View the spending of

spender.
8. Dress. neatly, but not
Il vishly. A bank pays a high
err rate of interest than your
back.
4. Take your amusements
judiciously. You will enjoy
them better.
3. Don't throw away the
crusts-eat them. They are as
nursing as beef.
6. 1t is more exhilarating to
feel money in your pocket than
beer in your stomach.
Z. Remember, it takes TWEEN

and twelve pennies make a

IT happened. John Burke
has announced his candidacy
for the United States senate.
While this has been rather
hoped for by the democrats, and
feared by the republicans, the
authorized announcement of
the ex-governor last week has
settled the matter. And Burke
is going to make some run,
there is no use disputing the
fact, whatever we may think of
having an overwhelmingly re.
publican state represented by a
democratic senator. Burke has
proven himself a vote-getter
and a politician of no small
ability. Of course he will make
his campaign purely on the
reaCtionary records of McCum-
Der and Hanna. Should a pro-
gressive republican get into
the game it will, of course still
further complicate matters, but
be that as it may, Burke is 60
ing to be a candidate to reckon
with seriously once the cam
paign is under way.

SPECULATION is rife as to who
will be the candidate of the
progressive republicans for
United States senator. Both
Hanna and McCumber are, of
course, recognized stalwarts
and it is hardly likely that
either of these will be accepta-
bic to the rank and file of pro-
~gressives. Tom Marshall de
Clares that he has had enough
and will under no cirCum-
stances enter the race. Andy
Miller, who never needed a
great deal of inducement, has
not been heard from at all and
he does not appear to be reCk-
oned with by the king makers.
Congressman Helgesen has
been mentioned, but he appears
to be afflicted with a case of
cold feet and will probably be
more than satisfied with the
bird in hand. Paddy Norton
has also beensuggested, but, like
Helgesen. he will probably con-
Clude that a seat in congress.
even among the yanigans, is
preferable to the uncertainties
of a senatorial campaign
against such astute campaign
ers as Hanna and McCumber.
One result is obviovs: Either
McCumber or Hanna, if not
both, will be relegated to the
political boneyard. And it is
going to be some scrap-even
if the progressives stay out OF
the fight entirely.
