Friends Of Former q. S. Attorney
General Smile as He Faces
New York Bar Rule.

Thomas w. Gregory. who resigned
a few weeks ago as Attorney General
Of the United States, is now under
going six months probation in New
York prior to taking up the practice
of law there with the Arm Of Earle
& Todd. Rules Of the New York
Bar Association require all applicants
to live in that state for six months
for investigation of the character Of
the applicant" before he Is admitted
to practice, and friends OF the former
! cabinet member are having no small
amount of fun at his expense as a re-
suit of his position.
A similar condition confronted
Lindley NJ. Garrison when he resigned
as Secretary of War to associate him
self with the Hornblower law firm.
The firm of Earle & Todd was
but recently organized, the members,
| other than Mr.. Gregory being Maj.
Henry NJ. Earle and G. Carroll Todd
Mr Todd first entered the govern
ment service as one of the staff of
Attorney General McReynolds. now a
justice Of the United States Supreme
Court. and continued to serve in that
capacity under Mr.. Gregory. He has
| been in charge Of antitrust prosecu-
tions during both of the Wilson ad-

WILL TRY HUN LEADERS.
Two Princes, Ex- Minister and Army
and Naval Heads Included,


London, July 22-Among the Ger
man army and navy officers and civil
ians who must stand trial for crimes
committed during the late war are at
least a half dozen in addition to the
ex-kaiser who may be classed as lead
ers Of great influence and prominence
in the old Germany. Two princes, an
ex-cabinet member and several fam
Gus generals are found on the long
list in the international rogues' gallery.
Some may be tried in Paris, others in
Brussels, while still others may face
their doom in London and be imprison-
ed in the famous old tower.
Before the peace treaty was signed
notice was given to Germany that she
would be required to surrender some
offenders for trial before a tribunal
representing five chief allied and as
ISOLATED powers, but no names were
mentioned. 1t seems to be assured
that the defendants will include the
following men:
Crown Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria,
known to his admirers as "the anvil of
the west" who is reported in official
documents to have ordered his men to
take no Britishers alive. Sir Arthur
Conan Dayle compiled and edited a
record Of the evidence on which Great
Britain based her charges that Rup-
precht was responsible also for deport-
atoms from Lille, Roubalt, Turcouing
and other towns.

Chicago, July .22.-New upturns
which took place in the value of corn
today resulted largely from the fact
that hog prices had again risen to the
record level, s23 a hundredweight. Dry
hot weather tended further to
strengthen bullish sentiment. On the
bulges. however profit taking sales in
creased, and there was dispoition to
Ibe cautious in view of the unsettle-
ment Of foreign exchange. Opening
quotations, which ranged from the
same as yesterdays finish to ~ cents
higher with September at 1913 to S1.si
and December at s1.63 to $1.6S&, were
followed by decided gains all around
and then a general reaction.
Short coverings was much in evil
dence later, and the December delivery
assembled to about the best price Of the
season. The close was strong, y to
az cents higher, with September at
S1.94k to s1.95 and December at s1.65 "
to s1.65A.
Oats.
Oats were relatively weak because OF
hedging pressure and on account OF
absence of export buying. After OPP
ening y to q cent up, including Sep
TENDER at sos cents to 81, cents, the
market hardened little more but then
receded temporarily to below yester-

Provisions reflected the strength of
hogs and corn. Trade, tho, was light.
