New Business Established.

The result has been that the men
now in the business fear the return OF
the saloon, desiring rather TO continue
in the new business which yields al
most the profit of the other and yet
can be operated with less grief and ex-
pense. For this reason the dry forces
of the state are receiving aid IN many
cases from former saloon men. and are
meeting scarcely any opposition in
their campaign to make the state per-
manently dry next month.
Not only are the former operators Of
saloons who are now established IN
the soft drink business Interested il
securing permanent prohibition, but
the great jobbing interests that former
~ were the mainstay OF the wet
champions are not now aiding the IL
quor cause. Most of them are now
selling agents for some OF the popular
temperance beverages and are build
ing up profitable business connections
that promise greater permanenCe than
could be expected under changed con-
ditions.
A prominent dispenser OF soft drinks
whose establishment is located on Fifth
street made the following statement
yesterday:
II have been in the liquor business
for 20 years, and during that time
have sold trainloads of booze across
the bar. While business connections
may compel me to refrain from TAX
ing an active part in the dry campaign,
my sympathieS are with the prohibit
tionists, for I have money invested in
this new enterprise, it Is yielding me
a fair profit, and it has scarcely any
grief connected with it,
John F. Joseph. attorney for the
Woodbury. County Anti-Saloon league
stated today that he understood that
there were former dealers in liquor
who We're taking part in the present

Natco, 226 favored the plan and Is
were opposed. Twenty-four Hoosier
store employees favored 1t to eight who
were opposed.
James A Carr. president of the A. s.

fusion. Charles A. Mcclure, of the
Dille-MoGuire company, believed it to
be unworkable.
John M. Lontz, president of the F..

of the plan. Others who urged adopt

against the recommendation for the
passage Of an ordinance prohibiting

ed frontiers of the central powers, the
bursting of the long brewing storm OF
discomfort is awaited with mingling
Of fear and hopes.
Censorship Lid frightened.
Extraordinary measures have been
taken by the rulers Of the central EN-.
pires to prevent the outside world from
knowing what is transpiring within
their borders. No German newspaper
is allowed to pass into a neutral coun.
try and for the last ten days all per-
sons have been forbidden to leave Ger

Thus the scanty and dubious news
formerly Cleaned from the censored
German press or from casual travellers
has been completely cut off and the
Teutonic empires are almost as iso.
lated from the rest Of the world as was
ancient Japan.
Reports Plague Of Typhus.
Reports from Switzerland of vague
and indefinite authority, assert that
the troubled conditions in Germany
have been intensified by widespread
outbreak of typhus, said to be espec-
tally prevalent In the great industrial
regions. The epidemic is attributed
to the growing food scarcity but the
story. IKE many othef sffnflAf tneA,
lacks confirmation from any reliable
source.
The same veil which has been drawn
over events in Germany and Austria
obscures the situation in Sweden,
where a great nation wide demonstra-
tion by the workers was also planned
for today. Since the outbreak of a
couple OF weeks ago when rioting took
place in Stockholm, the only news re-
ceived as to the conditions in Sweden
has been the bare announcement that
a general strike had been ordered by
the labor leaders for May Day, coupled
with warning to the government
against undue interference.
