TO END WIRING OF CASUALTY LISTS
VETS WIN, FOUR TO ONE

Chicago, April 2.-The pro- nounced wet vote in the election here yesterday was said by per sonaI liberty leaders to mark the actual beginning of a campaign to repudiate national prohibition.
 The wet vote was 391, 1,26O; the dry 144,032. Four out of every five men voted wet, and three out of every women did the same.
 The Trades Union Liberty League issued the following state ment:
 Through the overwhelming defeat of the drys, Chicago has spoken in tones that will ring in the ears of those subservient law makers who have so cravenly sur rendered the liberty of American citizens at the dictation of a, clique of paid prohibition lobbyists.
 There VII now be no let up in the protest against prohibition ty- ranny until the freedom of the peo- pie has been fully restored to them This is the message Chicago sends to Congress"
 E. J. Davis, Chicago superintend- ent of the Anti-Saloon League, said: "I am not surprised at the result. We made no fight and asked no one to vote for a dry Chicago"

Moreover since our constitution prohibits the sale of national lands this department, in accord with President Carranza, is giving special attention to all matters referring to Lower Cal ifornia. Concessions of territory in that part of the republic which have been authorized have been for a. re- duced number of pectares. and to residents of various small villages of that territory, following the policy of creating small land holdings with the object of favoring the natives.''
 Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese minister to Mexico, tonight issued the following statement regarding the dis cussion over alleged attempts by Jap anese to purchase lands in Lower California:
 "A tempest in teapot has been created and I think the importance the American press has given this question Is due to some political maneuver, caused by the nearness of the next Presidential campaign. It may be declared that there are no concessions in Lower California that favor the interests of my country. Only near the town of Mexican exists a small Japanese agricultural colony that cultivates rice, but this is abso- lutely lacking in importance.

Zurich, Switzerland, April 2 In view of fresh negotiations over the DanZig question, the German Cabinet has decided to gather the chiefs of all parties of the National Assembly at Berlin tomorrow to reach an agreement as to the policy that is to be followed, according to an announcement by the Ger man propaganda service.
 Berlin, Tuesday, April 1-Almost all the labor forces of Germany are either striking or threatening to strike as g. result of agitation carried on by Independent Socialists and Sparticfdes, who are succeeding in their efforts to induce workers to make increasingly impossible de mands. They have even partly per suaded mine guards on duty in the Ruhr district to protect the pits against the Spartfcides to prevent miners from descending.
 The situation everywhere Is constd- cred serious and 1t Is said that the aim of the Sparticides Is purely po- litical, having as It's object the over turning of tho present government and the establishment of Bolshevtsm.

The co1npany's heaviest obligations are to the farmers who have been supplying it with milk and who hold notes representing arrears in pay ment to the amount of about $90, These notes mature on the 11th of next month and as their holders he'd anticipated at least a partial cash li- quidation at that time the revelation of the company's financial plight comes to them with E. rude shock They have the choice of exchanging their notes for an equal amount of common stock in a reorganized con- cern or fin realizing their share from what @ forced sale of the company's property will bring. On their deci- sion rests the acceptance or rejection of the reorganization scheme as the other classes of creditors are ready to accept the terms offered them. At present the attitude of the milk sup pliers is apparently one of indecision with, howevere, a growing disposition to accept common stock rather than the one-fifth or one-fourth the face value of their claims in cash which a winding up of the company's af- fairs would realize.
 There is already outstanding about $35, 900 or paid-up common stock of which local dairymen hold a consid- erable share. This has never yielded any dividends.

ALIEN INCOME
 TAX IS 12 P. c.

Considerable dissatisfaction is ap- parent among the alien residents of the city on account of the large per centage of tax assessed on their in comes. The government is collecting F per cent on all incomes earned by aliens. They are allowed no eXemp- tions while citizens are allowed eX- emptions running from $1,O00 up wards If a person not naturalized is earning $1,o0O a year he must pay an income tax of $120. There is, therefore, some satisfaction and ad- vantage in becoming naturalized and assuming the obligations of citizen ship.

Attorney Leo Oppenheimer strenu- ously opposed the offer on the ground that 1t was a waste of time to have the experts go over the sheets when the referee could do the same thing and see for himself whether or not changes had been made. MT. Wolfe claimed that there was no other way in which he could prove the changes and identify the persons who made them. That the papers were changed in so many places and in so many v..ys and that there was no case in the history of Bankruptcy more vital of the honor of the court and to gen. eraI commercial integrity than this, and that he should be allowed to prove the case by the testimony of ex- perts who could identify the persons who made the questionable e entries in tho hooks. sA
 Referee Banks ruled that he would not allow the testimony at this time. but that if later 1t developed that the entries were disputed he would allow the testimony.
 Abraham Eorsen was then called to resume his testimony He said that during the time that the receivers were in charge, the Abel company. one of the Dorsen subsidiaries. owed the Dorsen Dry Goods company $1.- s9S12 for rent. but that the receivers books showed a. charge for only $2s7. and 1h4s was wiped put by a credit of S4Iss7. although the Abel company had not paid the receivers Q rent.
