Sheriff Clark is going after the
"spooners" who have been staging
parties" on roads leading out of the
city, principally on Saturday and
Sunday nights. He and his deputies
will pay particular attention to the
Fairacres and West Dodge road
districts. This will be done at the
special request of residents of Fair
acres.
Il have received several COM
plants from prominent residents Of
Fairacres," the sheriff said. They
complain that especially on Satur-
day and Sunday nights the roads
and byroads out there are just full
of automobiles filled with men and
girls and that the spoon;ng and
carousing go on until morning.
II have promised that | will give
this my attention and we are going
to try to clean them out of the resi-
dence districts Of the suburbs.
IF there are girls and fellows of
the automobile spooning type they
will have to go somewhere else to
carry on their activities. We ex-
pect to find some booze also in
these raids, as booze often accom-
panies that kind of a party"
Deputy Sheriff Christensen says
he has routed out many party on
the West Dodge road on Saturday
nights and Sunday nights.
THE woods are full of them some
times" he said. "Out on the West
Dodge road the other night we
walked into the yard of a school
house and the spooners jumped up
all around us. 1t reminded me OF
toads, there were so many of them. "
The residents Of Fairacres declare

Arrested in Essen.

Berlin, April 10.-Magdeburg, the
capital of Prussian Saxony, where
serious disorders occurred early in
the week. again is in control of the
German government forces, Gustav
Noske, minister of defense, declared
in an interview today in the Tage-
blatt. After asserting that the au-
thorltles were prepared for all pos
sibilities, Herr Noske reviewed the
situation as follows:
"Madgcburg is completely in Our
hands. Motor boats armed with
machine guns are patrolling the
Elbe to protect vessels carrying re-
lief foodstuffs. Conditions in Ba-
varia are such that if Premier Hoff-
mann holds out short time we
will be able to solidify opinion in
favor of legitimate government.

"If no other way is possible,
Munich will be compelled by arms

be precipitated into an abyss. If

The strike which began several

All the large factories were closed

stop running. 1t is believed GER

PEACE MEETING
WILL SUBMIT TO
WILSON'S TERMS
Senators Say Threatened
Break Impossible as United
States Now "HOIds
Purse Strings"
BY JAMES r. NOURSE.
by Universal Service.

Washington, April l0-Disquie.-
ing rumors from abroad to the effect
that the peace conference may break
upin disagreement are given little
eredence by senator's here. Despite
the persistence with which these in
timations appear in the cable dis
patches there is strong feeling
among officials generally that there
will be no serious interruption of
the work OF the peace conference.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
republican leader in the senate, be-
lieves that when the president comes
home he will bring the peace treaty
and the league of nations covenant
with him. He is laying out the work
of the foreign relations committee,
of which he will be chairman, upon
the firm belief that the first thing
the committee will have to do when
congress meets will be to study the
text OF the treaty.
Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia today expressed the opinion
that there is small likelihood of
President Wilson withdrawing from
the conference until the treaty and
the league constitution have been
fully agreed upon. The senator be-
lieves that the European nations
now represented at the conference
will not permit the president to quit;
he offers as reason for this the
terse suggestion that the president
'hods the purse strings and they
cannot let him quit" he said.
Wilson Holds Purse Strings"
1T seems perfectly obvious to me
that the powers of the president be-
ing so great, the other nations will
be forced to accede to him on every
point in dispute. We hold the purse;
they have to come to US for their
food, for their material and for
everything else. They cannot do
without us and so whatever may be
said, there is very small chance that
the conference will end in a dis
agreement between any of the other
nations and the United States.
Il look to see the treaty adopted
and the league of nations in some
form agreed to by the conference
because these are the things Presi-
dent Wilson wants. He has the
power to compel the others to give
him what he wants, and do not
see how they can very we'll avoid
doing it.
Protests Secrecy.
Senator Johnson emphasized again
his protest against the lack of
specific information as to what the
peace conference is doing. He de-
clared it to be "a monstrous thing"
that the people of the United States
are not permitted to know all that
is being done. He continued:
1T is part of the peculiar
psychology of war, | presume, that
the American people have been kept
from knowing anything whatever as
to what is being done at the peace
conference in the settlement of
questions concerning their own
country. The people seem to have
gotten used to this sort of thing;
they have been cowed so much that
they no longer appear to care what
is going on. To me it is a terrible
thing that not even the American
press is permitted to know what
is going on behind the scenes"

Union Carbide and Carbon

Question-Could you advise me of
the standing of the Union Carbide and
Carbon Company, quoted on the Chi
cago Exchange? What dividends have
they paid? Also what caused the rise
in Republic Iron and Steel common :?
What are the chances Of fall in the
price of these stocks u. II. B.
Answer-Union Carbide and Carbon
Co., incorporated in 1917, is the con-
solidation OF numerous successful CON
Germs. An initial dividend of 81 a
share was paid January, 1918, and
quarterly thereafter until October l.,
1918, when $1.25 share was paid.
which has been the quarterly rate
since. Several corporations have been
mentioned as being in a position to
distribute part of their large war
profits to stockholders in some form
or other, possibly cash, possibly stock;
Republic Iron and Steel is one of those
mentioned. The stock is exceedingly
speculative and acts with the market
generally. We do not attempt to fore
cast the movements of the stock mar
ket, however.

J. 5. Still Holds Large
Reserve of Silver Dollars

The reserve of silver dollars held by
the United States government may
serve to break the price of the white
metal, according to statement issued
yesterday by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany.
"According to an official statement Of
the Treasury Department" it read, "as
OF November /, 1919, the government
stlll holds in the Treasury $6S,415,5 500
IN SILVER dollars, equivalent to about
r5'ooV,ooo ounces. Under the terms of
the Pitpan act this great mass ~
metal can be melted down and turned
INTO the market. 1t is quite possible
that by this addition to the visible sun

and the threatened danger to the frac-
ti.nal coinage eliminated"

A Good Industrial List

Question-What change, if any
would you make IN the following
stocks bought for their dividends
American Beet Sugar bought at TO-
American Car and Foundry bought at
83, American Telephone and Telegraph
bought at SO, Pressed Steel Car bought
at so, Ray Consolidated Copper bought
at 20, United States Steel common
bought at SO Il. T.
Answer-All the issues you mention
are speculative. That is, they move
generally with the stock market. But
that, of course, does not mean neces-
sarily that the affairs of the company
change. You appear to have diversi-
fled list of good industrial stocks yield
ing a good return. If you watch Them
closely and follow their reports We see
no reason why they should not work
out very satisfactorily.
