.PLOTTERS PAID BY Won PAPEA
Private Papers Taken from Former
German Attache in England, Show
Up His Work Here.

London, Jan. 15.-COpies OF corre-
spondence seized from Capt. Franz
Won Papen, recalled German military
attache at Washington, when he reach
ed Falmouth on his way to Germany,
have been turned over to the Ameri'
can embassy for transmission to the
State Department.
They show that Captain Won Papen
made frequent payments to persons
charged with the responsibility for
blowing up munitions works and
bridges in the United States.
One entry shows that Captain Won
Papen gave 500 to Werner Horn, who
was arrested in connection with the
blowing up Of Canadian Pacific Rail-
way bridge at st. Croix, Me. The day
before this check was issued the Ger
man embassy paid $4,000 into Captain
! Won Papen's account
Another check stub shows that about
two weeks before the explosion in Sc
attic on May 20, 1915, Captain Won
Papen sent $500 to the German consul
at Seattle. In February of 1915 he
sent $1,000 to the German consulate in
that city.
Among the letters taken from Cap
tain Won Papen there is little of inter
est with the exception Of letter from
the German consul at New Orleans
condoling with him on his recall from
| Washington and criticizing severely
the attitude Of the American govern
mcnt.
Several large payments were made
to Captain Won Papen by Count Vor
Bemstorff, German ambassador al
!: Washington. Most Of these were fol
salaries or similar uses. A number
of entries show payments made by the
ambassador to the military attach'
for war intelligence office"
One of the payments on the account
made in October, 1914, was for $4,000
Captain Won Papen's check stubs
{ bank books and letters from his bank
the Riggs National Bank of Washing
ton, D. c., show about five hundred
items, many OF which had to do will
routine expenditures. Others, how
| ever, revealed payments to various
persons who have figured PROMINENT,
in the activities of German agents il

CARRIER

The weather for the last few days
has been very good over head, but
when it comes to getting around in the
mud and water it is not so nice,
The death OF Mrs. Susie Johnson
last week has taken away from our
midst one Of the most familiar charc'
tiers Of the Marvel cave section, being
practically raised near where she lived
and grown up with the country, and
alter she had become a young woman
taught school for several terms in the
school house close 10 her home, as
we'll as in other neighbOrhoods, she
had made friends OF all that come
within her acquaintance. She was
here when Mr.. Wright was getting the
material for his first TWO books, and is
probably one OF the unknown charac'
ters in the Shepherd Of the Hills. But
thirty-three years old and leaving a
husband and two small children. Il
does seem tragical, that one in the
very prime OF life should be cut of
srom among her many friends, A
large number OF people met at the
cemetery to see her remains deposited
again to earth. The aged father anc
mother husband and the little boys
have the kind sympathy Of the com
munity Of which she was part whilt
she lived.

Secretary ROaCh'S Claims

Mr.. Roach would have done we'll to
have confined his reasons for seeking
the governorship to the thirteen he so
successfully urged in his race for Secre
tary OF state. The invidious compari-
son he has sought TO make with the
record Of his predecessor, apparently
based on a report of majority Of the
members Of a recent House InvesIi'
eating Committee, appointed 10 over
come the impression left by the official
report OF State Treasurer Deal, has
provoked sharp response. Mr.. Swan
ger, by taking appropriations in the
session acts, proves that instead Of
spending less money than his prede'
cessor, Mr.. Roach really spent SS8, 800
more during his first term and 1921,
| 500 more during the the present term.
/ Mr.. Swanger also shows that, as ex
oficio secretary Of the Printing Com
mission, Mr.. Roach has approved an
increase OF a quateT Of a million dollars
in the expense Of printing material
and the printing, publishing and dis
tribu,ion OF documents.
Comparison Of the expenses and the
receipts Of the Office is not easy. Fol
example, the act Of March 27, 1918
required the annual registration Of pri
vate corporation with the secretary o
state. There is IS fee for each reg
istration, which is doubled il the regis
uation is postponed beyond fxec
date. In 1918 and 1914 the receipts
from this source amounted to $l57 ,0l5
80. A special appropriation fer ex
pense Of collection is made. Stat
Treasurer Deal says that the cos
Of collection is equal 10 about IS pc
cent Of receipts. This seems high
in view OF the penalties. BIT evel
a, that, the secretary OF stat
is enabled 10 make a good shown
OF receipts, in comparison with his pre-
decesso7, who had no legal power t
collect such registration fees. Globe

Washington, Jan, %. From the
northern border OF Montana to the
Southern border Of Arizona, the
Rocky Mountain mining region has ex'
perienced marvellous increases in val
ues Of products in this year Of war in
Europe. Copper, zinc and lead have
been in such eres, demand and prices
have been so high that there has been
not only a marked increase in quanlity
produced but still greater increase
in the total value OF the metals.
These facts are shown BY bulletin
just issued by the Geological Survey,
which says that the increase in value
Of the output reached as high as 81
per cent in Montana and 90 wer cen'
in New Mexico The total increase
in value Of metal products OF the
Rocky Mountain States is estimated
at more than Sis, 100000. 1t might
be added tina, a great portion oil this
increase is net profit, for it costs very
little more to produce copper or zinc
or lead when prices are high thar
when they are low. The price Of gold
Of course, has not been affected By the
war.

Exports TO South America Reduced.

Washington Jan %. Although
exports to South America during the
ten months ended Obtober 1915 were
1000 900 greater than for the first
ten months Of 1914, both periods un'
der the Democratic tariff law, yet :hey
were $8,OO0,000 less than for the first
ten month Of 1918, nine months Of
which was under the Republican tariff
law, despite the fact that European
markets were largely cut off, thus
causing the South American republics
to look to US to supply deficiencies.
On the other hand, imports from
South America for the first ten months
Of 1915 were $66,OO0,000 greater
than for the first ten months OF 1914,
both periods under Democratic tariff,
and $106, 100000 greater for the Ior
the first ten months Of 1915 than the
first ten months Of 1918, under Re
publican tariff.
The balance trade against us Tor the
first ten months Of 1918, Republican
law, was S30,0O0,000. For the frs
len months OF 1914 it was Sll3, 500,
900, and for the first ten months 0
1915 it rose to $l43, 100000.

wonderful trade increases with Sout'
America, and by comparing the l9l!
with the 1914 periods, both unde
Democratic law, they are able, because
the war has shifted trade currents

the trade Of 1918. AS it is not to tn
