COLERAINE STAR WILL HAVE
TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY

It has been learned that Coleraine
is to have q "star player" in it's line
up for Saturdays game. Dudley
Kane, a track and field star, is again
in Coleraine's lineup this year. Kane
has shown up we'll in all the games
thus far this season and, no doubt,
will be the best ground gamer for
the Coleraine eleven.
Mr. Kane entered the interschOl-
astic meet at the University of Min
nesota last spring and took first place
in two events.
The Bemidji eleven went through
another hard scrimmage again last
evening and is working hard for the
coming game. Bemidji's chance for
a victory look better now that N.Y.
ron Plummer and Frank Phibbs are
back in the game. Plummer is fast
backfield man and will be used at
the quarterback position in Satur-
days game. Frank Phibbs will also
be able to play Saturday and will
hold down left end. Plummer and
Phibbs showed up exceedingly we'll
in the Akeley game and with these
men added to the regular lineup a
fast exhibition of football is looked
for next Saturday.

TWO SLAIN In H0LDUP
WEALTHY SOUTH BEND BREWER
AND EMPLOYEE KILLED.
Son Perhaps Fatally Shot When Ban.
dts Invade Office-Escape After
Failure to Loot Safe.

South Bend, Ind, Jan. 3.-Henry
Muessel, general manager OF the
Muessel Brewing company, and his
chauffeur, Frank Chrobot, were in
stantly killed by two masked robbers
who attempted to loot the safe in the
brewery office here. William Muessel,
aged fifteen, was shot in the abdomen
by the robbers and, it is feared, mortal
ly wounded. The two robbers fed
without taking time to search for
money, in quest of which they commit
ted two and perhaps three murders.
Owing to the prominence of Henry
Muessel, Teputed to be a millionaire,
the entire town was aroused. Posses
secured the districts and the surround
ing country throughout the night, but
no trace of the murderers was found.
From Robert Muessel, the eighteen
year-old son Of Walter Muessel, presi-
dent of the company. the police gained
their most accurate description of the
robbers. Robert Muessel was in the
office when the bandits entered. AL
though they shot the other three per-
sons, for some unaccountable reason
they satisfied themselves with binding
and gagging the youth.

PEACE TERMS GIVEN
SUMMARY OF GERMANY'S CONDI-
TIONS CIRCULATED IN BERLIN.
No Annexation of French Territory,
Freedom for Poland and Restora-
ton of All German Colonies.

Berlin, Dec. 31-The semiofficial
Wolff bureau circulated among the
German newspapers an exhaustive
summary of an article from the Neue
Zuercher Zeitung of Zurich, Switzer-
land, purporting to give in consider
able detail the terms upon which,
according to the newspaper, Germany
is ready to consider peace.
The terms named include the res
toration of Belgian sovereignty under
certain conditions, no annexation OF
French territory, the separation of Po-
land from Russia as an Independent
kingdom under German prince, the
restoration of all German colonies. the
payment of an indemnity which would
assume the form of transfer to Ger
many OF Russia's Indebtedness to
France, amounting to some 18,00O,0O0,-
600 francs, AND the payment for
term of years of an annual contr1bu-
ton by Belgium equal to the amount
hitherto spent annually on the Belgian
military establishment,
A similar contribution would be ex-
pected from Russia or. Poland, this
point not being clear in the article.
Whether the Belgian territory would
be restored entirely is not specified
in the newspaper, but it is stated that
the country would be policed-that is,
garrisoned-by Germany until the pay
ments of the contribution were ended,
and that measures would be taken to
prevent Belgium from serving as an
Anglo-French outpost, either by treaty
arrangement or perhaps through
pledges" turned over to Germany,
the latter phase apparently referring
to the retention of the Mouse for
tresses.
The Wolff bureau is careful to dis
avow auth oritatively that the article
is interpretable as a German peace

SHEVLIN DIES OF PNEUMONIA
MaIady Caused by Coaching
Yale Team.

Minneapolis, Dec. 81. Thomas
Shevlin, millionaire lumberman and

illness of only six days. Mr. Shevlin
caught cold when coaching Yale foot
ball squad last fall, and was unable to
shake it Off Shevlin played football
at Yale four years and was captain of
the team in 1905, when Yale had the
greatest team in it's history. Always
ready to return when "Old Ellis"
eleven called for fast coaching, he
whipped several seemingly impossible
teams into winning shape. Shevlin's
lumber interests netted him a huge in
come. He carried $1,500,000 life insur-
ance, recently having increased it from
100000.
Mr.. Shevlin was interested in many
lumber concerns. He is survived by

London, Jan. 5.-The Peninsular and
Oriental line steamer Geelong has

The British liner Glengyle, bound

HONEYMOON At END
PRESIDENT WILL CONFER WITH
CABINET ON GRAVE LINER
SITUATION.
NO MORE NOTES EXPECTED
Austrian Charge Asks Judgment Be
Suspended Until Facts Are Known
Wilson May Call Leaders of Con-
lress Together.

Washington, Jan. 5.-President VIII
son has cut short his honeymoon and
arrived here on Tuesday from Hot
Springs, Va, in a special train. He
will take up the task of solving the
most serious problem that the United
States has faced since the European
war began.
Not so serious in the total loss OF
life or in the number of Americans
who met their death, the sinking OF
the Persia has caused greater alarm
both in Teutonic diplomatic circles
and in those circles that hope to keep
the United States out Of the Euro
pean war than did the Lusitania
case.
If the facts are as they appear on
the surface; if submarine, whether
of Austrian or Germaa or even Turk
ish nationality, sent the vessel to the
bottom and snuffed out $50 lives with
out warning, it is believed there will
be no more notes. Those closest to
the president believe that his pa
thence has been exhausted.
Only one thing seems to give hope
that the Persia was armed in such a
way as to make her a warship. There
is little chance for this, however. In
circles til know the equipment OF
the British ships it is said they have
carried guns at their sterns only. This
would not, in the opinion of Secre-
tary Lansing, make the Persia war
ship. Not only does Secretary Lansing
believe this, but he has forced from
Germany an admission in the Lusi-
tania controversy that his opinion is
correct in the ordinary usages of in
ternational law.
Baron Zwiedinek, charge Of the Aus
trian embassy, is working with might
and main to avert crisis. He assured
Secretary Lansing that should it be
found an Austrian submarine sunk the
Persia, with loss of American life, his
government would promptly give rep
aration and satisfaction. He asked
that judgment be suspended until all
the facts were known.
There seemed to be a growing i'm
preston in official quarters that the
president may call the congress lead
ers together and acquaint them fully
with the situation.

FINANCES Of STATE
IN GOOD SHOWING
REPORT REVEALS $295,577 MORE
IN ALL FUNDS THAN
YEAR AGO.
DECEMBER RECEIPTS LESS
Despite Shrnkage of 100000 in Re-
ceipts for Last Month the
General Fund Balance Is
Well Above 1915.

Madison-State Treasurer Henry
Johnson opens the new year with he
states finances in much better condi-
ton than a year ago. He has, in all,
funds amounting to $295,577.37 more
than on JAN 1, 1915, and in the gen
eral fund $177,36555 more than a year
ago.
In spite of the fact that the general
fund receipts for the month of Decem-
Der were less than year ago by more
than 100000, the general fund balance
is we'll above that of twelve months
ago.
In all funds the advantage of Jan.
1, 1916, over Jan. 1, 1915, appears in
the following summary:
Balance Jan. 1, 6......$1, 9O6, 533.27
Balance Jan. 1, 1915...... 1,61O,955.90
Difference, favor of 1858 295, 577.37
How much better the general fund
shows Jan. 1, 1916, as compared with
Jan. 1, 1915, is summarized as follows:
Balance Jan. 1, 1916. S1,363,777.44
Balance Jan. 1, 1915. 49,. 1,186, 411.S9
Difference, favor of 1916. SIT, 1888
Thus the year starts off with the
states exchequer in fine condition.
There will be no necessity to call upon
the railroads to pay their taxes in ad-
vance.
Next month the counties will pay
their state taxes and the railroads will
make their first payment of something
more than $12,OOO,O00 and the good
ship forward will sail on, well financed,
at even a lower Tax rate than a year
ago.
