WHAT THEY DO TO GERMAN
MERCHANTS WHO PRoFzTEEF

Coblenz, Dec. 5.-American intel
ligence officers in the occupied area
recently started a campaign against
German food spectators who were
held responsible for the high prices
of food in Coblenz and vicinity. The
first day of the "rount up twenty
profiteers were departed to unoccu.
pied Germany, with instructions not
to return.
AS an example of the nature OF
the dealings carried on by the spec
ulators, or "Schiebers," they are
called in German, an incident is cited
by the Americans of carload of
starch shipped into Coblenz. 1t cost
the original purchaser 10000 marks.
The car remained untouched In the
railroad yards, while it was sold from
one man to another, each time at an
increase in price, until the carload
was finally disposed of for $4,000
marks, just double what the first pur-
chaser paid.

JUDGE CONNOR SENDS MAN
UP FOR WHITE SLAVERY

Raleigh, Dec. 5.-Pleading guilty
of violating the Mann white slave
act, Millard Parnell, white man,
of Smithfield, with a family of wife
and seven children, yesterday was
sentenced to serve three years in the
Atlanta prison for carrying a IA
yearold girl to Virginia for immoral
purposes. The mans wife and sew
era1 children were in court, but their
presence had little effect upon the
judge, who considered above every
thing else the young girl who had
been wronged.
A letter proved the cause of Par
nelPs arrest in September after he
and the girl had been in Virginia
for several weeks. Deserving his
wife, he took the girl to Richmond
where they lived as man and wife,
according to the witnesses, for one
week. They then went to South Bot
ton, Va, where both secured employ
ment in mill. Up to that time rela-
tives at Smithfield did not know the
whereabouts of Parnell and the girl
He then wrote a letter to a friend in
Smfthfield. The letter was given tc
Sheriff Massey, and Parnell's arrest
followed in quick order.
Judge Connor also tried number
of other cases in Raleigh yesterday.

WENT TO SEE WILSON.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Prasident
Wilson will see Senator Fall, Repuh-
lisan of New Mexico, and Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat of Nebra ska at
23O p. M, to advise him of the Mex
lean situation. Senator Fall promis-
ed that Immediately after the Senate
convenes he will make public the in
formation. on which he based his
charge regarding the conduct of af-
fairs in Mexica toward Americans
and the further charges that Mexi-
can ambassadors and consule were

the people of the United States.
Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 5.-Certain
American concerns operating in Mex
leo ordered their border representa-
tives yesterday to prepare for getting
their American employees out of that
country. In some cases the definite
instructions were given for immedi-
ate withdrawal of American employees
from Mexico.
withheld because of the possible dan
ger, it was said, to their employees in
quitting the Southern republic.
Danger to Americans in Mexico,
should diplomatic relations between
the two countries be broken off, has
been seriously discussed on the ber-
der in connection with the Jenkins
case. 1t was felt that an order from
the government such as was issued
by President Taft in 1912, ordering
Americans to quit Mexico would Gre
ate an i'll feeling south of the border
and might cause bloodshed.
The problem of getting the Ameri
cans out of Mexico should diplomatic
relations be broken would be a diff
cult case, according to their employ
ers for they are scattered Throughout
the country and many are great dis
| tances from railroads and telegraph
[ lines. Withdrawal of the American
would close all operations in the in
dustries and mines, it was admitted
| and hundreds of Mexicans would b'
Thrown out of employment. Prop
erty valued at millions of dollars
would be forced to lie idle.
Companies preparing to get thei
employees home hesitated today tt
permit publication of their inten
tions. Then it was decided that tn
notice of their action might poin
the way to safety to other American
in the interior.
| Should a resolution breaking OF
relations be passedA it was said, ther
would be general exodus of hur
i dreds of Americans to the Unite
States.

booster for Wilson during and since

ell Hill, and that he had abiding faith
in Wilson and her people, DIR. Henry
Best, whose turn to preside at the
meeting of the Rotary club yester-

had here some of the largest indus
tries of the country and that even
Rotarians as live and wide-awake as
they are, were not fully aware of the
potential industrial strength of this
community. For that reason, he
would call on the representatives of
industries that they might tell the
members of their plants.
Lieut.. John Hackney, of Hackney
Bros. buggy Co., was asked to de-
the Hackney Buggy & Wagon Co.
two of the largest concerns of their
kind in the South. He stated that
the company is now turning out be-
tWOOu lfO anu IoU UuSSIcS d uOnln
or an average of more than 10 bug
gies for every working day, which
lacks about 20 per cent of its nor
NAL output. The factories cover
900 feet of floor space and en-
ploys from 125 to $50 hands.
The Hackney Wagon Co. is turn
ing out 1900 wagons a week, and
the plant with it's sawmills cover 25
acres of ground and employs from
275 to $50 hands. Mr.. Hackney was
thanked for his statement regarding
the plants, and several expressed
their pleasure and surprise at the
magnitude of these industries and
their value to the community.
Another interesting statement was
made by Mr.. Frank Miller, manager
of the Southern Oil Mills branch at
this place. His exposition and de-
scription of the magnitude of the fer
tilizer, oil and cotton seed industry
| in this city was truly illuminating
and very interesting.
