RADICALSCAST
OUT OF GERMAN
PEACE CABINET
Fear of Liebknecht Coup Is
Groundless; Haase Attitude
Stirs Independents

Berlin, Dec. 21.-The election of
q new Central executive committee
has been completed. The Socialist
members are largely in the major
ity, giving the cabinet a support it
heretofore lacked. Not only are
many of the members really able
men. but radicals like Georg Lede-
bour, DIR. August Mueller and other
members of the old executive COM
mittee have been eliminated.
The Congress of Soldiers and
Workmen's Councils has decided
that elections to the National AS
semblS shall be held on January 10.
Those opposed to the summoning of
a National Assembly polled only
forty votes out of total of 240.
The changing of the date for the
elections from February 16, origt-
nally agreed upon, to January 10 by
this virtually overwhelming major
ity was greeted by loud applause
from the floor of the House and
hisscG from the galleries, which were
filed with sympathizers of DR.. Karl
LlebXnecht, leader of the Spartacls
group of Socialists.
There had been nervous tension
throughout the sessions in the fear
that Liebknecht might attempt a
coup TO disperse the congress. Moth
ing of the sort happened, however.
the only incident being the with
drawal of the Independent Socialists
as a protest against a statement of
Hugo Haase regarding the attitude
of the cabinet toward the new execu-
tive committee still to be chosen.
| Haase claimed the cabinet would
| be entitled to carry it's measures,
even against the advice of the ex-
ecutive committee, whose only re-
/ ply could be to remove the cabinet.

MARYLAND JURY
ACQUITS SLAYER
OF MAJOR KING
Cause of Trouble Between
Accused and Man He Killed
Was Not Disclosed

EIkton, Nd, Dec. 21-Charles Hal
hardt Johnson was acquitted by a
jury last night of the charge of
numbering Major William r. King,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, supervising engl-
neer of the Aberdeen proving
grounds. The jury was out two
hours and fifteen minutes.
Johnson shot Major King in the
Johnson home on the night of July
II, last. Counsel for the defense
contended that the shooting followed
a struggle in which Johnson claimed
that the army officer had him down
on his knees with his hands on
Johnson's throat. Johnson had been
cashier of the National Bank at
Aberdeen.
Last year when the Governments
proving ground was established
near Aberdeen, Johnson obtained a
position in the accounting depart
ment. He became acquainted with
Major King, who subsequently rent
ed room at the johnson home
to be fast friends, and it was said
that King used his influence to ad-
vance Johnson in position.
During the early part of July last
trouble between the two men devel.
oped, the cause for which was not
clearly brought out at the trial, and
johnson ordered King to move out
The major replied that he had rented
the room by the month and woult
not move until the time was up. Or
the night of the shooting johnson
ordered the major to leave and the
alteration followed.
Mrs. King and her daughter an(
Mrs. Johnson and Miss Esther Os
born, the ward of the Johnsons
were in the courtroom during tn,
closing argument, but Mrs. johnson
was the only one of the women wht
remained to hear the verdict.

York Evening Post Company, anC
General John w. Bubb, of Whining
ton, Del. when called by the statt
to testify as to the character O
Major King, with whom they haC
been acquainted for years, were onl,

TN THE country of the Giliik1ns,
which is at the north of the
Land of or, lived youth called
- Tip. There was more to his
name than that, for old Mombi
often declared that his whole name
was Tippetarius; but no one was
expected to say such a long word
when Tip" would do just as well.
This boy remembered nothing of
his parents, for he had been brought
when quite young to. be reared by
the old woman known AS Mombi,
whose reputation. am sorry to say,
was none of the best. For the Gill;
ken people had reason to suspect her
of indulging in magical arts, and
therefore hesitated to associate with
her.
Mombi was not exactly a Witch,
because the Good Witch who ruled
that part of the Land OF Oz had for
hidden any other Wiccn to exist in
her dominions. So Tips guardian,
however much she might aspire to
working magic, realized it was un-
lawful to be more than Sorceress,
Or at most a WizardeJs.
Tip was made to car wood from
the forest, that the old woman might
boil her pot He also worka1 IN the
cornfields, hoeing and husking; and
he, fed the pigs and milke6 tic foul
horned cow that was Mombi's espe-
Cial pride.
But you must not suppose he
worked all the time, for he felt that
would be bad for him. When sent
to the forest, Tip often climbed t ees
for birds eggs or amused hilrself
chasing the fleet white rabbits or
fishing in the brooks with bent pins.
Then he would hastily gather his
armful of wood and carry il home,
And when he was supposed to be
working in the cornfields, and the
tall stalks hid him from Mombi's
view Tip would often dig in the
gopher holes, or-if the mood seized
! h'm-lie upon his back between :me
hows of corn and take nap. So, by
taking care not to exhaust his
strength, he grew as strong and
rugsed as a boy may be.
Mombfs curious magic often
{ frightened her neighbors, and they
treated her shyly, yet respectfully,
because of her weird powers. But
| Tip frankly hated her, and took no
pains to hide his feelings. Indeed,
| he sometimes showed less respect
for the old woman than he should
have done, considering she was his
guardian.
There were pumpkins in Morabis
cornfields, lying golden red among
the rows of green stalks; and tGese
had been planted and carefully
tended that the four-horned COW
might eat of them in the winter
time. But one day, after the corn
had all been cut. and stacked, and
Tip was carrying the pumpkins to
the stable, he took a notion to make
Jack Lantern" and try to give the
uld woman a fright with it.
So he selected a fine, big pump
kin-one with lustrous, orange-red
coior-and began carving it. With
the point of his knife he made two
round eyes. a three cornered nose,
and a mouth shaped like a new

and in the space thus made put
lighted candle to render the face
more startling; but he conceived
an idea of his own that promised
to be quite as effective. He decided
to manufacture the form of a man,
who would wear this pumpkin head.
and to stand it in a place where
Mombi would meet 1t face to face.
And then" said Tip to himself,
with a laugh, she'll squeal louder
than the brown pig does when
pull her tail, and shiver with fright
worse than did last year when
had the ague!"
He had plenty of time to accom-
piish this task, for Mombi had gone
to a village-to buy groceries, she

fully rounded all the edges of the
joints and smoothed the rough places
in Il neat and workmanllke manner.
Then he stood the figure up against
the wall and admired 1t. 1t seemed
remarkably tall, even for q full
grown man; but that was a good
point in small boys eyes, and Tip
did not object at all to the size of
his creation.
Next morning, when he looked al
his work again, Tip saw he had for
gotten to give the dummy a neck, by
means of which he might fasten the
pumpkin-head to the body. So he
went again to the forest, which was
not far away, and chopped from &
tree several pieces of wood with
which to complete his work. When
he returned he fastened a cross
piece tc the upper end of the body,
making a hole through the center to
hold upright the neck. The bit of
wood which formed this neck was
etiSS s'AiiA pChVu tlb liiG upper GllNI anu
when all was ready Tip put on the
pumpkin-head, pressing it we'll down
onto the neck, and found that it
fitted very well. The head could be
turned to one side or the other. as
he pleased, and the hinges of the
arms and legs allowed him to place
the dummy in any position he de-
sired.
Now, that" declared Tip proudly.
''is really a very fine man, and it
ought to frighten several screeched
out of old Mombi. But it would
be much more lifelike If it werc
properly dressed"
To find clothing semed no easy
task; but Tip boldly ransacked the
great chest in which Mombi kept all
her keepsakes and treasures, and at
the very bottom he discovered some
purple trousers, a red shirt and a
pink vest which was dotted with
white spots. These he carried away
TO his man and succeeded, although
The garments did not fit very well,
in dressing the creature in a jaunty
fashion. Some knit stockings be-
longing to Mombi and a much worn
pair of his own shoes completed the
mans apparel, and Tip was so de-
lighted that he danced up and down
and laughed aloud in boyish ecstasy
IT must give him a name!" he
cried. 80 good a man as this must
surely have name. 1 believe" he
added, after moments thought, 81
will name the fellow Jack Pump
kinhead"
Next Story: Mombi who has just
secured from wizard a magic pow
der which brings to life anything il
touches, tests this powder on the
pumpkin-headed man which Tip has
put in the road to scare her. Jack
Pumpkinhead comes to life, but
Mombi cannot forgive Tip for his
intention to frighten her, so brews
some magic concoction which will
turn Tip into q statue when he
drinks 1t. But Tip is q smart boy
and you will see whether or not he
ever takes this potion.
