Richmond, Mo-, April 8.-Circuit
Judge Frank P. Divilbiss is in a crit
ical condition at his home here as
result of being stabbed nine times
today by RoEert S. Lyon, editor OF
the Richmond Conservator.
There has been long standing po-
litical feud between Judge Divi1biss
and Lyon, dating back to the congress
sional election, when the Judge was
defeated for congress in the Third dis
trict by J. w. Alexander.
Lyon, it is asserted. earnestly sup
ported Alexander and actively op-
posed Judge Divilbiss. The election
of Alexander did not settle the con-
troversy. Recently Lyon attacked one

DiviIbiss and the court has been at

WILSON MAY QUIT
The PEACE FARLEY
President Orders the Steamer
George Washington to Pro-
coed TO French Port.
ACTION AROUSES COMMENT
Many Rumors Gain Circulation in
Paris-Turning Point in Peace
Conference Has Been Reached.

Paris, April S.-President Wilson's
orders that the United States trans
port George Washington proceed i'm
mediateIy to a French port have
aroused much comment here and are
even construed by some officials as
preliminary to a determined move to
force an agreement at an early date
by the peace conference.
AS is usual in such cases, various
rumors were soon in circulation and
before night one report was current
that the President had delivered an
ultimatum to the effect that he would
withdraw from the conference unless
an agreement was reached within for
ty-eight hours.
Makes Position Plain.
1t is confidently asserted by those
close to the President that he did not
contemplate any such action, but the
same authorities have no hesitation
In declaring that the President has
made his position plain on the ques-
tons at issue, and it is believed his
determination to adhere to this po-
sition is fixed.
The summoning of the George Wa
The summoning of the George Wash
ington will place the President in
such a position, it is pointed out, that
he cannot be embarrassed by having
to wait for the transport should the
time come when he might wish to
withdraw from the discussions.
Could Arrange to Remain.
The belief is common that President
Wilson will not hesitate to take def
mite action if a deadlock is actually
reached.
If, however, the council of four sue
ceeds in reaching an adjustment and
the presence of President Wilson for
a longer time is deemed advisable, the
George Washington would be avail
able for the transport of troops to the
home land and would then be ready to
return at a later date for the presi-
Dental party.
Turning Point Reached.
The peace conference has apparent
ly reached the turning point between
definite and speedy results and fur
thr prolonged delay. The indications
today were toward action, but new
doubts began to appear as to whether
the desired results could be accom-
plished within a fortnight as Premier
Lloyd George and Colonel House have
predicted.

RIOTING FOLLOWS
AGERMAN STRIKE
Food Reserve Warehouses at
Magdeburg PIundered by
DisOrderIy Socialists.
MANY WOUNDED IN FIGHTING
Hand Grenades and Rifles Freely Used
in Storming Jail to Release
the Prisoners.

Copenhagen, April 9.-Plundering
and shooting attendant upon the gen.
eral strike proclaimed by the indie
pendent and majority Socialists among
the workmen at Magdeburg, capital
of the Prussian Saxony. are reported
in dispatches from that city. The
warehouses containing the food re-
serves for the coming week were
stormed and partly destroyed and the
reserves looted, the damage exceeding
100000 marks.
The police station also was stormed
with the intention of releasing the
prisoners in it, but the rioters were
repulsed after the building had been
considerably damaged. Grenades and
rifles were employed in the attack on
the station and many persons were
wounded.
Soldiers Join the Rebels.
Government troops are advancing
on the town, and conflicts are antici-
pated. Large portions of the garrison
have joined the insurgents, and it is
reported that quantity of arms from
the Citadel has been distributed to the
workmen and former soldiers.
The general strike was declared
over the heads of the mems leaders.
Eight thousand workmen attended a
meeting this morning in the Dom
Flatz and resolved that the strike
should continue until the release of
former Deputy Brandes, who was ar
rested yesterday.
Searched Delegates for Weapons.
Berlin, April 9.-The Soldiers and
Workmen's and Peasants Congress
assembled today in a tense and irrit-
able atmosphere of uncertainty.
Strong military measures were taken,
and all spectators attending the con.
gress were searched for arms. Two
hundred and twenty-eight delegates
had been expected, representing ESQ
workers and peasants councils and
twenty-eight soldiers councils. Many
of the delegates, however, were pre-
vented from attending, including some
from the occupied regions of the
Rhine, the Ruhr District and South
Bavaria
There was one woman delegate who
sat at the central councils table.
Some foreign representatives were in
the galleries. Surprise was caused
by the announcement that there were
nine delegates from German-Austria.
The confirmed majority Socialists
will have a majority in the congress,
but it is considered premature to draw
inference from this, owing to the alb
sence Of party discipline.

Perfects Radio Device.

According to leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented device for the pro-
iuetion of electrical current for radio
telegraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulator, which releases it at certain
intervals. The system is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than in the
older inventions, says the Scientific
American. The clearness of sound de-
ponds upon the regularity of the cur
EeHt, and with this system the current
Us released with a mathematical ex-
4actness.
Y The device has further advantages
Tthat it is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded, it is thought that it win mark
a distinct step in advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence its possibilities are creating
considerable interest in the radio
world.

GOLD-CoIN SCALES "a. RELIC
Missouri Man Has Device That Was
in Daily Use In That State
Many Years Ago. |

A gold-coin scales Of the type 50
useful to merchants in the middle of
the nineteenth century is one of the
relics kept by Jeff Davis of Boonville.
Modern methods of exchange have
rendered the scales useless but it is
in as good condition as it was when
his grandfather used it at Cole Neck
sixty years ago.
At the time B. 3. Brereton set up
his little store at Cole Neck, just a
half mile north of what is now, Cliff.
ton City, the pioneers were crossing
the plains in search for gold. Gold
Sweating" was common. Particles OF
gold dust were removed from the coin
so that its value rather than its ap-
pearance suffered. The merchant had
to be constantly on the lookout for
underweight coins when dealing with
such a class of trade.
A pair Of scales was bought by Mr.,
Brereton for this purpose. A brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied. A slot of varying
size is in each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, So, IS,
$40 and $50 coins. Coins failing to at
exactly in their respective slots were
rejected.-Boonville (Mo.) Republican.
