MYSTERY FIRE
DESTROYS HOME

Fire destroyed the empty house of
Ellis Edwards, a negro, on Hamilton
street, Saturday night, at about II
o'clock.
The house had been sold to Edwards
the first of the month, by William
Kelly, the nurseryman and, according
to Mr.. Kelly, after selling he found
that there were objections to the color
ed folks moving into that locality. He
then tried to rebuy the house, but the
man would not sell.
j. w. Peters had been living in the
house when sold, and upon finding a
better location, he decided to move.
Finding no other time and not wish
ing to lose days work in moving
Peters left the house late Saturday
night, said Mr.. Kelly.
"How the fire started, do not
know" said Mr.. Kelly. "But when it
comes to paying for the damages, l
suppose I'm it"
It is known some Of the neighbors
objected to a colored family owning
the home and, since the fire there have
been many rumors in circulation con-
cerning the nature of its origin.

GERMAN NOTE TO
FRENCH HANDS
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-"German capi-
tai has deserted the flag" says the
Vorwaerts in bitter comment on the
decline in value of the German mark.
Numberless cases are occurring in
which the German sellers do not al
low payment of their wares in Ger
many, but establish accounts abroad
which are exempt from taxation, de-
clares the paper. To the damage of
the German rate of exchange, cOntin-
ues the Vorwaerts, the German beg
gar sells his rags in the world market
at what prices he can get and ignores
the opportunities to get foreign money
into Germany and thereby raise the
mark.
Capitalists who find tax evasion
profitable refer to the German eco
nomic crisis with a shrug of the
shoulders and lay the blame to the
government and financial politics.
The Vorwaerts states that German
leather especially has been sold abroad
at prices less than in Germany and
with no other object than to transfer
the producers fortune to place
where it will not be taxed.
"For their own sakes several thous-
and illegal traders and capitalists are
robbing their country and committing
a theft of food by driving prices up
ward" the paper charges.
Through pressure on the rate of
exchange, German war bonds can be
bought in Switzerland for ten marks,
and the loan is bought up in quant-
ties by those who realize that Ger
many must ultimately be given help
and that the mark will rise.
''The purchaser of war loans will
then make so per cent, instead of 5
per cent on the esinvestment."
The newspaper declares that some
means must be found for preventing
the expectation of goods to foreign
countries. 1t concludes with the state
ment that while the government is
painstakingly spending 40,OOO,OOO or
50,000,00O marks for oils and fats,
400000,000 marks worth of French
perfumes, soaps and modes have ar
rived. The Entente, says the paper,
must realize that it is encouraging
German international illicit trade at
a cost of German economic life.

pOrtant Action Taken by
the Supreme Court s, I
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE war
time prohibition act was held constitu-
tlonal today by the supreme court.
The signing of the armistice did
not aborgate the war powers of con-
gress, Associate Justice Louis Bran
deis said in reading the decision of
the court Justice Brandeis said the
government did not appropriate the
liquor by stopping it's domestic sale

key for beverage purposes were affirm
ed by the court. The court also dis
solved the injunctions restraining rev.
enue officials from interfering with

100000 gallons of whiskey held by the
distillers at Louisville, Kentucky.
Justice Brandeis also called atten-
tiOn to the continued control of the
railroads and the reassumption of the
powers by the government relative to
the coal and sugar war acts to show
that the government continued to ex-

The judgment Of the court on Ken
tucky and New York cases was unani-
nous, Justice Brandeis said, and there
was no basis for contention Of Presi-
dent Wilson's statement in the mes
sage, vetoing the prohibition enforce
ment act that the war had come to
an END was the proclamation announc-
ing the end of the war.
In rendering it's opinion, the court
confined itself entirely to the wartime
prohibition act and took no action on
the so-called beer cases which attack
ed the constitutionality of the pro-
hibition enforcement act.
The constitutional prohi b it i n
amendment is binding on the federal
government, as we'll as the states and
supercedes the state laws, the supreme
court declared.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Flat irons and
saucepans are replacing the Peking-

This change has been brought about
by the scarcity of coal and gas in pro-

for laundry work. Actresses have to
warm their food over the gas jet after
a night performance and during the
day use the sauce pan to heat water
