The board of governors Of the

race tracks in the country, horse
barns, aviation field. modern con-
crete grandstand and other features
which will attract thousands to the

blocks from the store when they
dropped the coats and attempted to
escape. Mr.. Madsen picked up the
coats just as an automobile driven
BY friend drew up. He jumped
into the car and chased the women
between the houses and saw, them
go into the outhouse. The. police
were notified and shortly after
wards made the arrests.

Will Make Example.
Mr.. Madsen declared he was de-,
ternined to prosecute the cases
against the women. Il cannot help
but feel sympathy for Mrs. King.
She seemed to be woman who was
being led into crime he said.
However. am convinced she was
in bad company, and if she is not
made to pay the penalty before the
law it will prove bad example for
other girls of tender age who are
starting out in the same direction.
Nearly every day we have some
experience with 'shoplifters.' 1t is
coming to the point where it must
be checked. / do feel sorry for Mrs.
King. My investigation shows this
a6e lsx first offense. As far as I
have been able to learn, however.

Mr.. Gallagher declared he had
been moved to go. to the assistance
Of Mrs. King BY, the fact that her
husband was an employe Of his COM
pany. who had an excellent record.

BELGIUM ALONE WILL
NOT TRY EX-KALSER
Request Not Made and Legal
Obstacles Are in Way.
BY the Aswc,afed pres,.

PARIS, April 16-The Belgian dele
cation TO the Peace Conference Informed
the correspondent to-day that Belgium
had not been officially requested by the
Council or -Four to bring the former
German Emperor to trial, and that the
Belgian Government would feel obliged
to decline TO take the step even were
there any request for such action.
The Belgian delegates hold that any
action should be taken by q commission
representing all the associated Powers.
The offclM Belgian view. It was said.
Is that tho former Emperor cannot be
nrraigned for declaring war or violat-
Ing the neutrality of Belgium. or for
any act preceding or coincIdent with
the declaration OF war.
After pointing out that there 10 no
tribunal competent to hear such charges
against the former Emperor and no pro-
vision OF international law covering
such cases the delegates said that Bel
GUM expects that persons guilty OF acts
punishable under the criminal codes OF
any Of the belligerent Powers should be
placed on trial, As theft. murder and
other crimes committed during war do
not relieve the criminals OF responsible

"If the commission desires to arraisn
Gen. Baron Won Mantueffel for the sack
ing OF Louvain. Gen. Won Schroeder for
the murder OF Capt Fryatt and Gen
Won Saubersweie for the execution Of
Miss Edith Cavell. all the necessary
documents will be forthcoming" said the
general secretary OF the delegation.
but Belgium does not seek revenge. II
wants only Justice. It would be small
satisfaction to lock UP the Kaiser for
a few months in the sainte Ollie Prison,
and those who have reported that such
revenge has been offered Belgium as a
solace Cor her wrongs have sadly mis-
understood the Belgian character II they
thought II would be acceptable.
THE only case in which the personal
responsibility of the ex- Emperor for a
criminal act committed in Belgium
could be established beyond doubt Is On
the atrocities attending the deportations
of civilians and compelling them to do
forced labor in Germany. In this case
his responsibility 10 unquestioned."

ference that the countries represented
there should combine to take steps to

that q provision should be made In the

The Entente delegates 10 the Pence

ward this proposal has not been indi-
Gated clearly. The future OF Constan-
