his behalf that it was impossible for
him to continue living upon the boun-
ty and good will of the Dutch noble
man in whose castle he now resides.
Herr HohenzOllern, il is said, de-
clared he had already been forced to
borrow 10000 guilders from his host
and could not continue as a debtor.
He asked that he be allowed at least
a portion OF his private fortune.
The Government, after considering
the matter, agreed to his request and
instituted a detailed investigation To
determine what portion of the for
mer Emperor's supposed fortune
really was his and what portion be-
longed to the Government. lnvesti-
cation showed that the former ruler
might legally claim 100000 marks
as his own. but the Government de-
cided to lend him temporarily only
100000 marks to meet present in
debtedness and further expenses.
The correspondents informant, in
calling attention to this development,
declared it put an end to rumors that
the former Emperor had been able to
take large sums Of money with him
when he fled into Holland.

RUSSIANS EXCLUDED
As LAND OWNERS IN
CASA GRANDE TRACT

Citizens of the Casa Grande valley
showed where they stand in quick
order yesterday when a party of II
Russian land seekers made their ap
pearance at Casa Grande," citizens
said last night.
Immediate steps were taken by the
Casa Grande realty board to have a
petition signed by its members refus-
ing to assist this class in their efforts
to locate here.
THE American legion also voiced
its protest in a petition requesting the
citizens of Casa Grande and Casa
Grande valley to stand by them in
their efforts to maintain the high
standing of American citizenry by re-
fusing to sell or lease land to these
people who showed their colors so
plainly at the beginning of the war.
"By this time the question of let
ting down the bars and blotching the
present unexcelled reputation which
this community now holds became
generally known and the business men
and citizens generally backed up the
realty board and the American legion
by filing a petition to the town council
requesting that the council take any
action. possible.
About that time the visitors found
that they were not wanted and treked

TOUCH

Have you left little touch of you
On some ones heart, and gone your
way?
A touch, that like a breath of dew
Sends a fresh hope along the clay?
Oh, some pass in and some pass out
And nothing counts of all they are;
And some are like a battles shout,
And some like the trailing of a star.
And most is the need of those who bear
From perfect hearts and knowledge
clear
Some passion of eternal cheer,
Some soft soothsaying of life's care,
From these alone falls subtle power,
From these the old, refreshing shower,
From these that balsam and the light,
From these the imperial beauty falls,
From these the incentive to the fight
| Mid the changed drums and bugle- calls;
The power, the joy, the essence of
Keen strife and conflict, rage for truth,
The mortal immunity of love,
The hiding forgetlessness of youth.

BOOZE WILL KEEP
GLOBE COURT BUSY

That the Globe term of federal court
will last several weeks, was the state
ment made yesterday by ]. H. Langs-
ton, assistant United States attorney,
who is of the opinion that prosecution
of violators of the war time prohibi-
ton act will continue the session of
court until the holidays.
Whether the additional time taken in
Globe will have an influence in holding
court here in January could not be
learned. Mr.. Langston said that he
was not certain. as Judge Sawtelle had
not considered the matter as yet
though a number Of cases have been
set for January. If not heard here at
the time, the settings will go over until
the spring term in April
While the Globe term of court
which begins on December is not gen.
orally of more than a weeks duration
the number of criminal cases has beer
multiplied to such an extent that il
will require several weeks to dispose
of the matters now pending. There
are more than 125 defendants as a re-
suit of arrests by the department Of
justice for violation of the war time
prohibition act in addition to narcotic
cases and other criminal charges thai
will be disposed of next month.
Mr.. Langston stated that there were
a number of still cases in Tucson, al
though Globe has the record for viola
lions of the liquor law. There has beer
no notable increase in cases of thi.
kind in this county, he said
