Are Urged to Bar
Mayor Thompson
Especial Correspondemce1


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 11.-That William
Hale Thompson, of Chicago, mayor of
the fourth German city in the world" "
be refused accommodations at the
Planters Hotel here because of his al
legged pro-German sympathies was
urged last night by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wallace Crossley Of Missouri,
who is also the states Fuel Admin
istrator. Mr.. Crossley openly made his
protestations to the manager of the
hotel. Mayor Thompson is a member
of the Republican National Committee
from Illinois and arrived here this
morning to attend the conference to-
morrow of the committee.
"The hotel management should re-
fuse to accept as a guest man ac-
| for one contend that Manager Walker
should not room Mayor Thompson"
Mr. Crossley declared.
when man has made such unpatri-
otic utterances as Mayor Thompson he
should be ostracized by every real
American. | intend to give up my room
at the hotel when he arrives.
"The patriotic resolutions that will
be adopted by the Republican National
Committee wiH be farcical if carried by
the votes of such unpatriotic men as
Mayor Thompson of Chicago"
The manager of the Statler Hotel,
son if occasion arose, said, "A man of
his pro-German sympathies and ac-
tivities certainly is not welcome at the
Statler Hotel"
The manager Of the Planters refused
comment.

German Papers
Dish Up Stories
OF u. s. Cruelt,
The NeU York Tribune
EOrcidn Preaa RnreGlL

From news item of the semi official
Wolff News Agency. carried by practi-
cally all German papers of January 10
last, on. may safely draw the conclu-
sion that Germany has something un-
pleasant in store sot her American
prisoners Of war. Any time the Berlin
government has decided to indulge in
some kind of brutality against its ene-
mics it Justified" beforehand its in
human and illegal proceedings by pub
fishing faxed news.
The Wolff telegram, which appeared
in the "Frankfurter Zeitung" of Janu-
ary 10 under the caption, "Manufact-
ured American Cruelty Stories," reads
. as follows:
"The 'Morgen Post was Informed
from Washington that General Perish
Ing officially announced that Germans
have cut the throats of American pris-
oners, and he feeles obliged to inform
the American army and nation of these
barbarous German acts. The Ameri-
cans never believed the news of
schrecklichkeit, but in this special in
stance the facts cannot be denied.
Former Wars Cited
The American army had so much
experience during it's wars against saw
ages that it will be able to get the bet
ter of the Germans. In the course of
wars of long duration they recognized d
that the dead Indian was the best
Indian, and they will understand who is
the best German.
The contention that the news of
brutalltles was not believed in America
Is surprising. He who was acquainted
with Amercan newspapers and senti-
ments during the war is aware of the
horrible to be printed in the American
press or to be believed by the America
public
Proof Is Demanded
But" continues the report. "here we
have undcniable facts. General Perish.
ing still owes the proof, and viii he
unable to furnish it. Anyhow. tic
Americans intend to profit by their ex.
perlences with savage enemies. They
Will, perhaps, also make use of thei1
experiences of the wars of libera.
ton.
"The city of Detroit was laid in
ashes, its population slaughtered. The
tort OF Dearborn was conquered and its
garrison murdered The settlers were
scalped, at the suggestion of the Eng.
ilsi, bound to wooden stakes and
burned to death.
And the Americans plan to fight in
tne manner of those wars, and be true
TO 'he OPINION that the dead enemy is
the best enemy. The Germans have
been beating, for three and a hall
years. negroes, Gurkhas and all the
other nations, fighting for justice, lib

Priest, Brother
Of Bolo Pacha.
Calls Him Insane
Monsignor Makes EIoquent
Plea for Defence in
Treason Trial

PARIS, Feb. 11.-When the tris, =.
Bolo Pacha for treason was resumed
to-day his brother, Monsignor Bo,o
promipent as a pulpit orator, took tbs
stand in his behalf. He declared at ~.
outset that he was a patriot first Of a.,
and was defending his brother becauss
Of the conviction that he was insane
Monsignor Bolo's testimony was mnx.
in the nature of pleading than =
deposition. He reviewed the ent;,s
case. Speaking of the prisoners inn
neys to Switzerland, he expressed ~.
opinion that Bolo Pacha's purpose ;s
going to see the former Khedive. Ahh,s
Hilmi, was to win him over to the siss
of the Allies.
The prelate ridiculed the idea that .
man so wise in the ways of the word
and SO cynically clever as Count von
Bernstorff, former German Ambasss.
dor at Washington, could have mis-.
taken Bolo Pacha for an important nm
litical parsonage.
The witness scoffed at the idea ,h..
any of the references in Count ,s, yon
BernstorfF's kilograms to Berlin were
to the prisoner.
The spectators in the courtroom. WIN
have been hostile to the PRISONS
throughout the trial, appeared to bs
impressed by the eloquent plea of ME s
brother, who drove home point after
point, emphasizing them by STRIKING
the rail of the witness stand with HE

Monsignor Bolo made the most Of n.
presumption that Hugo Schmidt and
Adolph Pavenstedt, from whom ey. .
dence was obtained in America apainst
Bolo Pacha, are German spies. Payen.
stedt was formerly the head of the
Amsinck Importing and EXPORTING
Company in New York, and Schm;Ss
was formerly the agent in New YORK
of the Deutsche Bank. Both men sra
now interned in detention camp in
Georgia.
The early errors of Bolo Pacha were
attributed by his brother to Bolos
former business partner, N. Panon. and
the latters' wife.
Colonel Voyer, president CT the court
called Monsignor Bolo to order for
challenging the authenticity of the

he pointed out/ they had been vouched

Even House of Lords
Could Not Get Coal

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The House Of
Lords held its first meetings this year
under wintry conditions. There was
no coal on hand, owing to failure Of
delivery service, and the members sat
IN fur overcoats and muftlers while
business went on.
Officials of the Office of Works were
summoned, bus declared themselves
helpless. The coal had been ordered
well IN advance, but there was short
age of men and horses, and the houses
OF Parliament must await their turn.
Janltors struggled with remnants Of
coal dust, paper and few sticks to
coax fires into existence III few Of
the committee rooms, but in the larger
offices and halls there was no warmth
to be had.

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.75Iss. The intrinsic
parity is S4.S65s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at a discount
or that dollars are at premium, which
is owing to the fact that in England
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is greater
than the demand in this country for
pounds with which to settle accounts in
England,

ing Floating Debt

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Talk has been re-
sumed in banking circles of the possi-
bility of an early cessation Of Treas
ury bills and the issuance of new
loan to consolidate the floating debt.
This probably accounts for the present
dulness of gilt edged securities and,
with the possibility of fresh taxation,
helps to restrain any expansion of
business on the Stock Exchange, which

Iative shares and iron, steel and rub

Receipts of corn at Western points
showed a material increase yesterday,
the total being 2,49S, 900 bushels. max
ing the biggest one days movement SO
far this season. Under the influence of
this loosening up in traffic conditions
and the prospects of a heavy run of
corn during the next few weeks, the
market early in the day was easy, with
cash prices to 10c lower in the West,
while contracts were down Il to H.
1T soon became evident, however, that
there was large demand urgently
awaiting supplies, and when a report
was received late in the session
that the rule in the West against re-
loading of grain cars for shipment East
had been modified, prices rallied from
the early depression and developed
firmness. The trade realizes it will
take great amount of corn to fill up
all the holes which have been created
by the long delayed movement, and,
Furthermore, Europe is badly in need of
corn as we'll as other grains. Chi
cago reported an increase in the Wis
able of 100000 bushels. Weather con-
oitions were favorable for railroad op-
erations.

Wheat.-Receipts at Western points
were not in proportion to the big in
crease in corn and oats, and apparent
~ farmers are giving their attention

any rate, the movement was moderate

the West is expected to remove much
OF the snow covering.
Oats.-This market acted much in
the same way as corn, prices declining
early and rallying near the close. The
movement was larger and the prospects
are Tor further increase in receipts
with improved weather conditions
Prices in all the Eastern markets are
ruling at big premiums over the ,e y VEST ae
