GERMANY LOOKS
AFTER HER TRADE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Germany,
official reports received here today say,
is flooding Spain with circulars advis-
ing Spanish traders that the indus
tries, factories, and means of produc-
ton in Germany have remained intact
despite the war and that Immediately
after peace is declared the Germans
will be ready to carry out Spanish or
ders as of old. Spanish plants are re-
quested not to give orders to the allies
or to neutrals during the period of the
war.
Officials here are deeply interested
in this move Of Germany toward pros
ecution of the trade war that is ex-
pected to follow the end of hostilities.
1t is pointed out that the heavy fall in
exchange rate for German currency
abroad will greatly favor German ex-
ports to Spain and other countries af-
ter the war, although it will react un-
favorably against the Germans in the
importation of materials from abroad.

WIDOW Of SLAIN
COLONEL IS ON
WITNESS STAND
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN ANGELO, Tex, Jan. 19.-Mrs.
Malcolm c. Butler, widow of the late
Lieutenant Colonel M. C. Butler was
the principal witness for the state to-
day in the trial of Harry ]. Spaniel,
who is charged with killing his wife,
Mrs. Crystal Holland Spaniel, ana
Lieutenant Colonel Butler at Alpine,
Texas, July 20, last.
The present trial is on the indict-
ments for the alleged murder OF Mrs.
SPANIEL. The defendant also is to be
tried for the alleged murder of Colonel
Butler.
Mrs Butler told of the automobile
ride She Mrs. Spaniel and Butler took
shortly before the shooting to the home
of a woman suffering from tuberculo-
sis, who had written Colonel Butler
asking him to furnish her a tent so
she could live in the yard instead OF
the house. After Butler conferred with
the woman. the witness testified. they
returned to the hotel, all three going
to Buffers room to wash their hands,
fearing contagion from the sickroOm.
While in Buffers room, Mrs. Butler
said Spaniel came upstairs and she
saw him peering about as if looking
for some one. Then he saw Mrs. Span
ell in the door of Buffers room and,
according to the witness, said:
Crystal, haven't | told you not to
come up here alone?"
I'm not alone. Mrs. Butler is here, -
Mrs. Spaniel replied.
SPANIEL then called to me asking if
was there witness continued. Span
ell was angry and said, hereafter,
when you come up here, turn on the
lights
The lights has been turned off pre-
paratory to going downstairs, Mrs.
Butler said Butler already having gone
down.
Spaniel, his wife and witness then
went downstairs, Mrs. Butler said, and
while she was waiting for her husband
to come in from the street, Spaniel, his
wife and their little daughter got into
the automobile. After going a few feet,
the witness testified, Spaniel stopped
the car, the daughter got out and Spa
nell called to Butler:
Major come get in"
Butler did so, and the car drove off.
In a few minutes she heard Of the
shooting.

FREIGHT RATES
PROBE BROADENS
IRepIbIican A. p. Leased Wire]

DENVER, Jan. 19.-The hearing on
western freight rates before MyrOn
Patterson, representatives of the inter
state commerce commission assumed
a broader character today when num-
erous intervenors indicated a desire for
rate reductions along the line sought
by the Colorado Fair Rates Associa-
ton and the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission in their complaint against
thirty -four common carriers.
Primarily, it was developed at to-
days hearing, interventors filed APP
pearances to either oppose or support
the compliments.
Strong opposition to the proposed re-
auctions affecting steel shipments
from the east was expressed by r. l..
Hearon, traffic manager of the Colora =
do Fuel and Iron company in a state
ment introduced at the hearing. The
effect of proposed reductions, it was
ses forth, would seriously interfere
with the operation of the Pueblo Steel
plant. The companys payroll in Colo
RADIO was $12,000,000 annually, he said
and fourteen thousand men were en-
ployed while last year over $4,250,00O
Colorado dealers. 1t was pointed out
that the concern was one of Colorado
biggest industries and expressed doubt
that the reductions sought would ben
eft Colorado as a whole. Reductions
based upon the needs and demands OF
the entire territory west Of the MIS-
souri, river, Mr.. Hearon declared, were
the only ones feasible.
