RAID CROOKED BROKERS.
Plan Prosecution of Profiteers in War
SAVINGS,

Chicago, Nov. l2.-Federai raids on
six "shoestring brokers'" confiscation
of more than $4,000 of war savings
stamps held Illegally by the stamp
dealers, and the arrest OF Weldon
Webster marked the opening ysster-
day Of federal drive against Illicit
traffic in wartime thrift accumula-
tons.
Webster was taken from his desk,
521 Ashland block. by secret service
agents under Capt. Thomas 1. Porter
when he was discovered erasing names
Of original stamp holders who had sold
him their> cards at a discount accord
ing to the agents. He was released on
81, 900 bonds pending hearing Nov. ~.
Secret service men swept down on

pany at 81 West Monroe and Wash
ington and Wells streets, w. X.
Kemps, l2O North Ia Sale street; Carl
White, Sc West Washington street
and J. S. Lowitz, 2e3 South Dearborn
street. s-- 49, 49,.
In each Of the stamp shops they
seized stamps and certificates which,
they declare. will be used as evidence
Of the widespread violation Of federal
bond regulations. Prosecution OF an
alleged ring of stamp brokers which
Is said to reach froLs coast to coast Is
planned.
ut may be a surprise to many to
know that the individual possession OF
more than $1,000 in war savings
stamps is Illegal remarked a govern
ment prosecutor. THAT fact makes
prosecution Of stamp brokers easy.
They have been buying stamps by the
hundreds and cashing them in with
the government at profits ranging from
few cents to several dollars per GER
tihcate."
Captain Porter went into the traffic
in detail.
People desiring to cash their wal
savings stamps before the ten days re-
| Quired by the government" he said
could sell to these brokers at dis
count. The brokers then would erase
the names and numbers on the cards
Ali the blanks with odd stamps and
present them to the government Tor
payment
The cards usually were presented IN
cities other than that IN which the
original stamps were bought"
Traffic in Liberty bonds was not
made part Of the general campaign
| against war savings brokers.
I'VE have not touched the Liberty
bond angle yet" he declared. ut Il
less subject to direct action because
there is no limit to the number OF

Northwood News Briefs.
cial TO Times.Republican.

Special TO Times Repuplcah.
Northwood, Nov. 1l.-Cold weather
will be welcomed by many OF the peo-
pie in this town, owing to the fact
that there Is no ice. Some ice has
beeh, shipped in. but the price Is SO
high that It is prohibitive. The local
ice dealer expected to have "A surplus
this year. having put up a good many
tons over last year, but ran short
some time ago.
Sunday this vicinity was visited by
a continuous twelve hour downpour OF
rain, starting about l a. nj. and STOP
ping about noon. This will make 1T
bad for corn shocking. as there Is con-
siderable corn yet in the field.
Thursday, Nov. Is. the people OF
'Northwood will vote on granting q
franchise TO the Northwood-K ensett
Electric Company. for a period : OF
twenty years. AS there is no valid
reason why the franchise should not
be, granted, II will most likely carry
with a large majority.
The coal situation in Northwood Is
wavorable as far az can be learned at
the present time. A large number OF
people put in their coal last summer.
and the local dealers have been storing
UP large quantities OF coal. and there
is also considerable wood to be had,
and the situation here is favorable
considered with other towns"

Chicago. Nov. 12.-Corn came down
In price today. responding to predic-
lions Of abnormally low temperature.
Besides, there were practically no sales
OF corn to the east over night except
for deferred shipments. Trade APP
peared to be rapidly going into the May
delivery. Opening quotations, which
ranged from y to Ia lower. with De-
cember sl.32 to Sl.S2l3 and May 1925
to sl.26ta. were followed by further
declines.
Weakness of hogs and foreign ex-
change counted as a bearish factor.
The close was nervous. N to y cents

sl.30h.
Oats.
Oats declined with corn. After
opening u to y of, including Decem-
Der at TN to IN, the market cont!n-

Provisions,
Weakness Of hogs and grain had a
effect on provisions.
Selling that was ascribed to pack

LAMsoN.s MARKET REPORTS.
Furnished by Lamson Bros. 4 Co.. 200
Masonic Temple; Phone 1873.

Chicago, Nov. II.
Conan early break. occasioned by
favorable weather was followed by
sharp reversal in sympathy with cash
corn, Of which there Is q temporary
shortage to fill shelled sales. The
prospect Of increased receipts, better
Smelling weather and the big break in
stocks and cotton, on account Of weak
foreign exchange and high money
rates, however. brought a decline to
new low levels on the present reaction.
There is no scarcity Of feed, hogs are
being rushed to market and the de-
mand for corn at terminal points is
not likely to be equal to the early
movement from the new crop.
Oats-Oats were strong early on
claims Of export business, but the lat
ter were later denied and the futures
market promptly lost all Of its early
advance.
Observation-Disclosures are credited
with liberal sales Of product again to-
day. The market acted accordingly.
Hogs closed weak, so cents lower, with
10000 carried over and $4,000 fresh
arrivals estimated tomorrow.

SENATORS ASK
CAND|DATESTO
DECLARE Stand
All Republican Seekers for
Presidential Nomination to
Make Known Their Position
on League of Nations.
BY L. c. MARTIN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent).
Washington, Dec 3t.-Senators who
are determined to make the league of
nations an issue in the next campaign
are ready to demand that candidates
now in the race for the Republican
presidential nomination declare them
selves Immediately on the league, it
was learned today.
Letters have been prepared to be
sent all candidates who have not yet
taken a definite stand. These include
Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois
and General Leonard Wood.
Lowden will be quizzed first. He
will be asked to tell whether he favors
American participation in the league
as 1t is established by the pending
treaty and what he would do about
withdrawal If elected president.
The inquiries to be directed to the
candidates are to be so framed. 1t Is
understood, that the aspirants for the
nomination will find 1t hard to ignore
them.
REMAIN SILENT.
Neither Wood nor Lowden has made
any definite statement Senator john
son, California, and Senator Poindex-
ter, Washington, are irreconcilable
fees of the league and have made their
positions clear.
in favor of the Lodge resolutions In
this connection 1t is hinted that If the
treaty is ratified on compromise ba-
sis, Johnson will make his campaign
for the presidency on the issue of i'm
mediate American withdrawal from
the league.
Developments for treaty compro-
mise multiplied today.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
saw Senator Pomerene, a leading Dem
ocrat compromiser.
Later in the day Pomerene was to
report on his conference with Lodge at
meeting Of the Democratic members
Of the foreign relations committee
called by Senator Hitchcock the rank
ing Democratic member. Senator
Shields, Tennessee, who voted for
Lodge reservations was the only Dem :
ocratic member not invited to this
meeting.

PEACE TREATY WITH germany
BECOMES Effective JAN. 10:
HUNS AGREE TO SIGN PROTOCOL
Pact Goes Into Effect When
Formal Ratifications Ex-
changed Supreme Council
Sends Delegation to Austria.

Paris, Dec. 31.--The protocol prob
ably will be signed in time to declare
the treaty effective with Germany be-
tween Pan. 8 and 10, 1t was
stated semi officially today. This most
optimistic hope, it was said, was based
ON information secured from Kurt Won
Lersner. head of the German dele
cation here, intimating Germany will
accept the allied demand for sigma
ture Of the protocol without specific
agreement to reduce the allied demand
for 100000 tons of German marine ma
terials in compensation for the Scapa
Flow sinking.
The German delegate demanded,
however. that the allies put into writing
the promise made him by Paul Dutasta,
secretary of the peace conference, that
the allies will reduce their marine de-
mands If Germany Is able to establish
that she has less tonnage than now
estimated by the allies.
A special allied commission now Is
taking an inventory of the German ma
terial at Hamburg and Danzig.
LIE Matin said today an agreement
has been reached in London to expel
Turkey from Europe. The Ottoman
capital. the newspaper said, will be
transferred either to Brusa or Konieh
in Asia Minor.
The treaty will become effective
when formal ratifications are ex-
changed. This is expected to take place
