There is a chance that the affairs OF
tho Queens County Woman Suffrage
party will be untanglcd to-day, when
the members of tho four Assembly dis
tricts meet at conventions to elect Il
new borough chairman.
Tho heaviest vote in the history Of
the party is expected, because Mrs. Al
fred J. Emo. the present chairman, who
says she il going 20 sue two OF her
political associates for $4,000 each for
alleged accusations that she spent SUI
frage funds for lamb chops, is up for
reelection.
Leaders in tho faction against Mrs.
Emo divided their time yesterday IN

these was Mrs. Elsa Miles. Of 3 North

This sentiment was echoed 70 a de-

tains the choicest portion Of Mrs. Eno'a
opponents. She said:

AMERICANA
DECLINES ABROAD
Al Scandinavian Money Exchanges
Record a Continual Falling OH
in Value of L. S. Standard.

Stockholm, May II, Correspondence
Of The Associated Press 1.-THE Amer
;can dollar has been steadily declining
in value on the Scandinavian bourses
until on May 10 the drop represented
loss of II per cent, more than halt
OF which has occurred in the last two
months. The normal value of the dol
lar in Stockholm and the other Scan
dinavian capitals in three kroner and
13 ore. 1t was quoted today on ex-
change at 3.2S, whereas only $40 was
paid at banks on Americans dollars
drafts.
This condition is partly accounted
tor by the fact that the Germans have
recently dumped a great quantity OF
American money and bills receivable
on the Stockholm market. 1t is be-
NeVed, however, that it is principally
due TO the falling off in American
trade during the past six months ow
ing to the difficulty and danger in
transferring money. The seizure and
holding up Of mails is also factor.
Letters reaching Stockholm today
were mailed in New York seven weeks
ago. AS mails to America are stopped
also by the British patrol boats and
the letters censored in England, mer-
chants must figure on three and half
months on an exchange OF letters.
The English pound sterling has
been leading the dollar DOWN. ard
From the normal IS kroner and 20
ore. it was quoted today at 1912 while
still less was paid on exchange, a loss
of more than Is per cent.
German marks showed a loss Of
more than 80 per cent They have
dropped from a normal price Of 30
kroners per hundred to $3.50. The
Gussian ruble and the Austrian crown
are worth today about half their nor
nal value and the French franc IS
20 Der cent under par
Sweden's exports which are prin-
cipally To Russia and Germany, are
nov far in excess of imports, and this
partly accounts fer the Low value of
fore gn exchange. This condition has
helped to augment the great prosper
ity which is prevailing throughout
this country as we'll as all Scandi-
havia.

COUNCIL ORDERS
BAR SIGNS Down
Moline Officials Declare People Are
MisIed by Advertisements Left
Since Closing OF Saloons.
ORDINANCE Is TO BE DRAWN
Mayor Says City Is Dry Territory Two
Years. No Matter Ruling on
WOman'S Franchise.

City Attorney James NJ. Johnston at
this mornings session of the Moline
city council was given instructions to
draw an ordinance or to take other
steps whereby all signs advertising sa-
looms Will be removed from buildings
which until May 4 were used as sa-
looms.
Mayor VI. R. Carlson broached the
matter. stating that inasmuch as Moline
is now anti-saloon territory there
should be no signs advertising saloons,
as such signs are misleading, particu-
larly to strangers.
Il was suggested that some of the
former saIOonkeepers are waiting until
the state supreme court passes upon
the woman's suffrage law, but Mayor
Carlson stated that regardless of what
the courts decision is in this case It
will not return saloons to Moline. The
city is dry for two years, according to
legal advice given the mayor, whether
the court decides against or for the
women. so waiting TO remove the signs
on that score Is useless. he said.
Moline is dry territory for two
years" said the mayor, and we are
being criticised for allowing the sa-
loon signs to remain. l feel that the
criticism is justified and that we
should take immediate steps to see
that the signs are removed"
Such signs as that advertising Edel-
weiss beer. which is placed in a con-
spicuous place downtown, cannot be
,f oil &c
signs of this nature are general and do
not advertise saloons.
Commissioner Stouffer brought VI
the matter of former saloon men
painting the windows of their old
places of business either black OI
green. shutting off view of the interior
from the street. These places are be
ing operated as soft drink parlors, but
complaint has reached the police and
council that in several instances drinks
of stronger nature have been served
Shutting off view Of the interior wouli
make violations easier, if the propri
etor is inclined to commit violation
il was stated. City Attorney Johnston
was also instructed TO investigate thi:
matter.
