GERMAN MONEY TO
CONTROL NEWSPAPER
Senator King Starts Move For
Sweeping Investigation
of Reports

Washington, July 12,-Diselosures
showing use of huge sums of German
money to influence and control the
press in the United States have stirred
up demand in congress for thorough
investigation of the whole foreign Ian
guage press.
Fear that German money may still be
keeping alive many papers printed in
the German and Austrian languages is
felt by members of congress. Several of
them have evidence that German money
did not help keep some of these papers
going for while after Americas en-
trance into the war. This evidence has
been in the hands of the justice de.
partment some time.
Senator King, Utah, who several
months ago introduced a bill for sup
preston of the German-Austrian Ian.
guage press, today urged Senator Walsh
chairman of subcommittee in charge
of the bill to call a meeting at onee
anu AcPoAt nc hSaSuAS W thS eVHates
"In the light of the disclosures, with

Senator King, 81 think immediate in.
vestigation should be made of the whole
subject. Though my bill applies partie-
ularly to the foreign language press, it
might be well to investigate DIR. Rune.

Turkish Regulars We're
Responsible For Outrage

Washington, July 12.-Turkish reg
ulars were responsible for the outrages
against American property at Tabriz,
according to information furnished the
state department by the Spanish gov
ernment.
This tends to aggravate the situation
between the United States and Turkey,
and if corroborated by the response ex-
pected from the latter nation, it prob
ably will prove easus belli.
Sweden, through whom inquiries
about the Tabriz also are being made,
reported today her inquiries had been
delayed, but that apparently the Turk
government was not informed Of the
actual situation.
At the Swedish request, the Turkish
foreign minister had telegraphed to
Tabriz, but had not received reply
The Swedish minister expressed the be-
lief, therefore that Turkey is not now
in position to give definite answer
to the American demand for an explana-
tion.
The Swedish inquiries, according to
the American minister at Stockholm
today, did not reach Constantinople fol-
some unaeocuntable reason until July s,
though made several weeks ago.

Presidents Reasons For
Vetoeing $2.4O Wheat

Washington, July 12.--The pres
ident in his message to congress vetoe-
ing $2.40 wheat said that setting the
price of wheat by statute was in
elastic" and the present method of
regulation had proved satisfactory. He
pointed out that the present price had
stimulated production to such an extent
that the country had raised more than
900,000,000 bushels of wheat this year.
"0ur granaries are likely to over
flow and anxiety of the nations allies
in the war against Germany is re.
lieved," the president said, in speak.
ing Of the bumper wheat crop.
He also declared that the $2.40 price
would add $2 a barrel to the price of
flour. This would mean an increase of
1887 100000 to the price of the total
wheat crop this year bringing about a
corresponding increase in the cost OF
living and wages.

MAJOR HIDBARD
DEMANDED FLAG
Held Up Proceedings at Club
While Manager Hustled
Stars and Stripes

Major Hibbard objects to addressing
an audience unless the American flag
is unfurled in the room and last ever-
! ing at the Commercial club the pro-
ceedings were held up while Manager
R. s. Gill went out and found a flag,
which ne did at the Masonic Temple.
1t seems suitable flag could not be
found 1T the Club.
Major Eibbard came here with a
message to the men who are to en-
train for Camp Lewis, July %, and his
message was one of earnestly advising
them TO arrive at the camp in fine
physical condition. He especially eau
toned them about taking one last fling
of hilarious living before entraining
for Camp Lewis.
'"The government wants all draft
men to come to camp free of disease, Z"
said Major Hibbard. cup to last
December, one out of every Is men
that arrived at camp was in a dis
eased condition and had to be sent to
the camp hospital within four days of
their arrival. In the 81 cantonments,
last year on their arrival, there was a
total of 22,790 men who had contracted
disease shortly before leaving for the
camp"
Major Hibbard is believer in hard
/ xsrorly md Nf ~
has too much time to think, he often
thinks wrong. My advice is to work
all day long and then if feeling lit
tie too lively, to chop wood for an
hour or so.''
As to what the doctor will do to a
man as soon as he arrives at camp, the
major said it was nothing that full
blooded American should worry about.
There is first the injection for typhoid
with an ordinary hypodermic syringe.
Then seven days later there is another
injection and then seven days later
another, and after that there was no
such thing as typhoid fever for the
soldier. After the first injection, the
soldier viii feel fine for few hours
and then there will be little fever and
possibly a sleepless night and then a
sore arm for couple of days. Vacein-
alton for small pox follows later.
But the main thought of Major Hib-
bard's talk was that a diseased man
was disgrace to himself and mighty
poor investment for the government
and that from patriotic motives, if nc
other, man should arrive in camp in
as fine physical condition as he was
when the physical examination was
given him by the. exemption board
Anyhow, the major said there was no
use in trying to fool any army doctor.

SECRETARY BULLOCK
OF DEFENSE LEAGUE
Talks at Commercial Club On
Question Concerning
Great War

John K. Kulloek, secretary of the
State Council of Defense, stated in an
address last evening at the Commercial
cluD that he was not worried about
whether the western l:ne would hold IN
France, o. about the outcome of the
war after the fighting Americans once
got busy.
In his opinion, there is but one out
come of the war after the U. s. boys
get there in force. But the real peril
will come, he said, when the Germans
begin offering terms of peace. 1t will
be then that the real patriotic Amer
lean will be put to test as then the
paeifists and the pro-Germans and
those vrh9 cannot see into the future
viii attempt to force this government
into peace before the job is half
finished.
Mr.. bullock thought that Germany
right now would be glad to give up
Belgium and even Alsaee- Lorraine if
peace could be had with the Germans
in control of Poland, Russia, Turkey
and central Europe from the Baltic
to the Black sea. He fears the same
people who were singing about two
years ago, II didn raise my boy to
be a soldier"
Polk county was complimented on
its organization of a Council of Defense
and it is probable that Marion county
will soon be organized 1t is this
Council Of Defense that will be neees'
sary when the pacificts get busy and
also to keep line on sedition and pro-
German talk. He thought every Ger
man interest in the country would
soon be talking peace and that the
Council Of Defense should be organ.
ized to counteract this propaganda.
Regarding the apportionment to
counties for the coming Fourth Liberty
Loan, he said it would be based first
on bank deposits, then the number of
people IN the county and finally the
amount Of taxable property and from
these figures Marion county would be
given its quota.
AS soon as peace proposals come,
we will hear of more peace proposals
and they will come from Rome as they
have heretofore" said Mr.. Kullock.
"Then Americans will have to fight
the pacifists at home who will say,
'Let us STOP When Germany makes
a proposal, she will bave accomplished
her ambition, that of Mittle- Europe. "
"When the cry for peace comes" de.
clared Mr.. Kullock, we must have
the firmness to crush such talk and
this is the job of the Council of
Defense"
