lowing story about character IA

Dick Wade, ontime jockey and
notorious bootlegger, is again a free
agent. He has been in the county
Jail SIX months and forty-eight days,
serving out sentence handed to MIN
by Judge Baxter entailing six months
in prison and 500 fine. The forty
eight DAYS cut the fine down to $52
and evidently some friend came to
his relief with the amount, for he
was able to produce the money and
walk out on last Saturday.
"Wade has given the officers
Great deal of trouble during the past
'wo years. In 1917 he was the ring
leader of the "Winterhaven Bees"
club which was reported to be a
boot]egeing joint, and, being in I'M
Oerial county, was immune to the
law on this side of the river. The
club flourished and defied the au-
'h0rities. F. ally the federal author
tiles sent man to clean up the
olace. He proved to be one of the
smoothest detectives ever in the
community. He won the friendship
Of Wade and even went so far as
to become a member of the club.

PLANNING COUP
Former Boche Army Officers
Holding Whip Hand in
Berlin.

LONDON, Feb 27.--'The monarchsts
of Germany are contemplating an early
coup d'etat in the opinion Of the Mails
correspondent at Berlin, who says that
the old officer class, with It's general
staff, has been gradually getting the
whip hand there since Jan. 10, and now
holds the government In its power.
THE threatened coup detat would
be carried out In Berlin alone" he
writes, and would probably for a time
be successful, although it would GER
tainly result In ruthless civil war and
Inscriptions political murders. A large
number of officers are said to be asso-
ciated In the plot, which aims at the
overthrow Of the present government,
and the restoration of the old order
Of things.
"A secret meeting Of monarchist Nof-
ficers was held at CharIottenburg on
Feb. lG 1t was summoned by Maj, yon
Herringen, son Of the former secretary
of war. Thirty officers attended and
each is said to have pledged himself to
hold in his residence quantity of
munitions ready for an emergency and
to assemble at n certain place when
called upon, Every member Of the plot
has been requested to enlist as many
officers loyal to the former emperor as
possible, 1t is understood. The govern
ment has been warned Of what Is go
ing on"
The correspondent says the organAa-
ton OF new bodies Of troops by the gov
ernment step which alone can save
1t from the Spartacans and other ex-
tremists, has been possibly only by rea-
son Of the government yielding to the
old officeE class, which he says has
already bullied the government into
winking at numerous political crimes
and arbitrary acts which have been
committed"
