would be legal for the company to
ship liquor into this city.
The company states that many
orders for liquor have been re
ceiyed from citizens of Rock Is
land, and from the quantities de
sired it has been presumed that
tn liquor is wanted for personal
use only.
Mayor McCOnochie has written a
letter to the distilling company,
stating that he is not Interpreting
the regulations Of the government
the company that the matter would
have to be taken up with the
United States marshal.
Peputy United States Marshal

ter after hearing OF both sides Of
the controversy.
The state contends that in cases
in which the inheritance goes TO a

close relative, the rate Of tax is
one per cent If the amount received
is 100000 or less; but that the
rate shall be two per cent if the
amount received is in excess of
100000. The two cases in which
the appeal is taken are of this class
of relationship, and their inheri-
lance is appraised at Sl09,47S.76
each. The state holds that the tax
should be two per cent on that
amount. less $4,000 exempt. in

PLOT OF GERMANS
IN U. S. TO SEIZE
CANADA IS Barred

New York, July 23.-Amazing
revelations concerning the organ
ization of 10000 German reserv-
lists in the state of New York in
readiness to invade Canada before
the entrance of the United States
into the war came yesterday with
the raiding by agents of the de-
partment of justice of the home of
DR. FREDERICK August Richard Won
Strench, reputed half brother OF
the German kaiser
About the time the raid was be-
ing made a presidential warrant
for DR.. Won Strench reached this
city. For the last ten days Dr. Won
Strench has been in custody and
his arrest is now regarded as the
most important made since the dis
closures regarding the German
propa ganda were made.
Charles Dewoody, division super
intendent of the bureau of investi-
CATION of the department Of JUS
tice, said the papers and docu-
ments show Dr.. Won Strench is a
half brother of the kaiser, that
he came to this country twenty
years ago, and, while a prominent
physician in Harlem, has been also
exceedingly active in secret Ger
man activities.
The doctor does not know of the
seizure Of his papers which were
found carefully kept in celluloid
and tin tubes. The documents
show he had for a long period ac-
tive relations with prominent
Americans who knew what he was
doing.
They have also brought into the
case, department of justice agents
say, d mysterious woman who will
be questioned at once by Chief
Dewoody.
DR.. Won Strench was on intimate
terms with Count Won BernstOrff,
Dr. Albert and others of the con-
trolling German group in this
country. Before coming TO this
country he had been a German ar
my officer.
From his papers it became
known that DR.. Won Strench was
the head of the movement in this
country to organize the German
reservists into a fighting body be-
fore the United States entered the
war
The reservists, the papers show,
we're arranged in units, and so or
ganized that they could be ready
at almost an hours notice to move
over the Canadian border, while
the bulk of the Canadian soldiers
were overseas.
The papers also show it was the
intention to send large numbers OF
these reserVists, especially artil-
lerymen, into Mexico TO aid Villa,
or whoever might be in control
there, III making war on the United
States.

That the tax assessed against

When the war broke out. throuRh

farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 2H.-

their cotton for half the cost of pro

we set our ships in motion oncc )
prosperity returned to the farms. e.
it never returned for the farmcrs g
those nations which remained cut or

Take the case of Australia. There
three crops ha- remained unsold on
