Elaborate Opium Joint With

is Uncovered

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Two more men
and one woman were arrested here to-
day by the agents of the bureau of
investigation Of the department of
justice in connection with operations
or the so-caIled Mann act blackmailers
syndicate. The arrests were made
after an all night vigil by federal
agents and a squad of city detectives.
Two Of those arrested gave the
names of John = Lawrence and Mrs.
r. e. Golden Federal officers are
holding a number of letters written by
a wealthy Cedar Rapids, Iowa, mer-
chant to the two Chicago girls. The
merchant claims the girls lured him
to the apartment and with the aid of
confederates forced him to pay $15,-
600. The attorneys for the girls claim
the letters prove the Iowan wronged
the girls and then made the payment
as recompense. -.
The arrests were made when the
authorities raided the apartment
house. Elaborate opium smoking out
fits, and a large quantity of habit
forming drugs were seized in the raid.
Mrs. Golden's husband was one of the
two men arrested. Federal agents
withheld all information concerning
the identity of the blackmailers' VIC

ing 1t unnecessary to go to the post
office to purchase stamps. money
orders and the like. These stores are
kept open until late in the evenings,
and in this respect will prove unusual
ly convenient.
The clerks in charge Of these sub
stations will be paid $50 year, those
owning or employed in these es-
adjustments being selected by the
government. to be responsible for the
business Of the stations under the
direction of Postmaster Wilkinson.
Regular prices will be provided for
posting mail at these substations.
Aside from being very convenient
to those living in the sections of the
city where these stations are to be
located. this new department will do
much toward relieving the congestion
at the postoffice. where at certain
hours of the day 1t is necessary to
wait in line to get money orders
register mail, or get weights or insure
parcel post packages. In fact every
transaction that could be made at the
general Office can be made at the sub
stations with the exception OF secur-
ing mail, as no general delivery
windows will be maintained in them.

OF PLAN
FOR FARM
Requirements at the Farm
Pointed Out by County
Commissioners

The voters OF Cass county will be
asked to express themselves at the
general election to be held on Nov. z
on the proposed purchase of 52.64
acres Of land for the county poor farm
and hospital north of the city.
The county commissioners ask the
voters Of the county to vote yes" on
this proposition as they are in a
position at this time to get the land
cheaper than 1t can ever be secured
again. Two years ago commissioners
secured an option on a tract of land
adjoining the present county farm at
$125 per acre. Just a short time ago
other srnoon 1g lands sold for $3.50
per d5nv ia evidence of the value of
lam Al-li this part of the county. This
opSloil holds good until after the COM
ing general election, the commission
ers having arranged for this in order
to submit the proposition to the peo-
pie of the county.
It is absolutely necessary that some
thing be done to increase the size Of
the present farm as the land is not
sufficient at the present time to supply
the inmates of the institution with
products that could be supplied with
additional ground. Then too, an addi-
tional building will have to be provid-
ed for incurable tuberculosis patients,
which have in the past had to be
cared for at hospitals at a consider
able cost.
The county commissioners also
point out that with the increasing
population in the county there will of
necessity be an increase in the number
of inmates at the poor farm and that
it will only be matter of time until
it will be about necessary to
purchase more land. Very likely this
could not be done in the present lcca-
ton except st a fancy price. The
coEpruisstoners believe that the option
of $125 per .Gcre secured two years
ago, and which still holds good, is
very fair and the taxpayers of the
county should take advantage of II.

London, Sept. 3o.-The address OF
the German imperial chancellor, DR.
Won Bethmann- -Hollweg, in the Reich
stag is more remarkable for what it
omitted than for what 1t said, &C
cording to Lord Robert Cecil, minister
speech with The Associated Press
yesterday declared the most signifi-
cant fact in connection with the
chancellors utterance was his failure
to mention Belgium, Lord Robert
said:
There is very definite change in
the tone of the speech over the previ-
talk Of complete German victory is
entirely absent. Another remarkable
thing was that there was not word
about Belgium. The Significance of
this Is probably that he was unable to
say anything about Belgium as his
listeners can be assumed to be the
whole world and he was bound to Of
fend section of it if Belgium was
mentioned. If he attempted to justify
German occupation. he would offend
the best Of all neutral opinion, and
equally he would offend his own peo-
pie IL he expressed a determination to
give UP that country.
DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg's de-
nunciation of England, while violent,
contained nothing really new. 1t was
merely the old trick of attempting to
convince our allies, that we are trad
ing on their efforts and bleeding them
to death STa the process. but recent
events on the Somme ought TO con-
vince him of his error. The idea that
we want world supremacy is fantas-
tic"
Discussing this phase Of the chan
cellor's speech. Lord Robert declared:
You will note that in this race for
commercial supremacy England is the
chief opponent to be feared, the Unit
ed States being left out altogether"
Lord Robert continued:
Anyone can readily see that we
made no preparation for any such
contest for world supremacy.
II note in the portion of the speech
devoted to efforts for peace that my
name is used, but cannot understand
his complaint. That Germany was
once ready for peace means nothing,
as naturally everybody Is always ready
for peace on his own terms. The Ger
mans are ready. not for peace. but for
truce to enable them to prepare to
enforce their own terms on the world.
There will be no peace as long as
Germany is content to be ruled by a
military caste"
Discussing the reference in the
chancellor's speech to the death of the
. hlLlS OI IhuilldItltAp lIl0 OL war
trade said:
"Of course, 1t is quite possible that
the strain imposed by the war may
have caused his death. as the king
was an old man, but 1t is also quite
possible that that theory of the cause
of death may be based on DIR. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg's Imagination
Lord Robert stated that he believed
the German imperial chancellor was
sincere in his declaration that Ger
many was waging war with every
possible instrument. Continuing, he
said:
The lull in submarine warfare is
due to shortage in submarines and
1t is always Increased when instru-
ments are at hand. The only change
note Is that no British passenger
liner has been sunk since the Sussex.

trails have suffered virtually as much
as we have. In June, the British lost
two ships without warning; the other
allies lost one without warning and
neutrals lost Ave, including three
without warning. The figures for July
show the British lost two that were

In August the British lost one without
warning, our allies one without warn

without warning and neutrals twenty
six.

of vast indemnities, great territorial
acquisitions, and so forth.
The chancellor labors to make the

that terms of peace are no concern of
theirs.

There is nothing for it, but con-
tinuance of the war until Germany is

German Press Comment.
Berlin, via London, Sept 3o.-The
speech of DIR. Won Bethmann- Hollweg,
the imperial chancellor, in the. Reich
stag meets with a mixed reception in
the newspapers, the feeling being va
riously expressed that he placed such
restraint on himself that his utter
ances lacked definiteness.
The conservatives, for example, ask
pointedly whether his sharp words
against England and his declaration
that the statesman should be hanged
who omits adopting every possible
means to defeat Great Britain, signi-
fies that DR.. Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg
is wiaing to resume the submarine
warfare, though they themselves as
sumo that the contrary Is the case.
The conservatives also note that a
number Of points were untouched by
the chancellor, which many of them
wished to hear discussed. All the
except the Vorwaerts, are
gratified that the chancellor made no
new peace overtures, in view of the

and French cabinets. General approy-
