At the close of Detzer's court martial 1t is planned to place on trial on similar charges. his first sergeant, |. $. Madden of Pitts burg, nephew of John E. Madden, Kentucky horseman. Sergeant F. L. Hoyt, who is alleged to have aided and abetted Detzer and Madden. was said by members of the judge advo- cate to be a deserter in France. He has not yet been arrested.
 Methods which Detzer and his sub ordinates were alleged to have em- ployed to wiring confessions from their prisoners, resulted, 1t IS alleged. in sending many men to the hospital for period of several weeks. Off, cers of the judge advocates depart ment admitted that many of the men Detzer had to handle were hard often with long criminal records.

HAWAII KEEPS ON GROWING
 PROSPEROUS
'Bv Associated PressI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Contin- ued prosperity in Hawaii was noted in the annual report today of Gov ernor C. ]. Mccarthy. Exports of all kinds, including sugar and other foodstuffs, were valued at S83. .343.648. while imports were S10,922,921. a de- crease of $955, ,407 compared with the year before.
 Enforcement of the prohibition act has resulted in a marked decrease in crime, Governor Mccarthy said, but there is a large quantity of illicit liquor manufactured, and the Federal authorities are endeavoring to stamp out this traffic" Utilization of stills made of galvanized iron has poisoned the liquor in some cases, the report stated. Jail sentences instead of money fines were suggested as a check on the traffic.
 Seventy-nine corporations. in cluding mercantile, agriculture. bank ing and savings and loan concerns were incorporated during the year. Twenty-six banks are in operation in the islands. Their total deposits are $35, ,349, l34.
 Additional appropriations to i'm prove the harbors are needed the re- port said, so as to provide adequate facilities for the increasing number of trans-Pacihc liners stopping at the islands. Concrete piers, varying from GOO to 950 feet long are under con- struction by the United States En- gineer Service and the necessary shops for making repairs to vessels also have been provided.

Z O'CLOCK TOWN IS CAPITAL OF
 CARRANZA
(By Associated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 9.-Mexico
 City is a quiet place after dark Busi- ness of practically every sort stops promptly at / o'clock at night when doors are bolted and heavy steel cer- tains are drawn over the entire front of the building. Avenida Francisco Madero, the main thoroughfare, dim ly lighted at the best, looks like blind alley after 8 o'clock and is en- livened for a few moments only when shortly after midnight, the theatre crowds hurry home. There is but little after-theatre life here Saturday night offers an exception for two cafes are open then for dancing and drinking with foreigners for the most part the patrons.
 The human owls of the United States who turn night into day, will find it difficult to believe that Mexico City which has a population approx imating 100000 has no all-night res taurants and that after o'clock in the morning 1t IS next to impossible to buy so much as a cup of coffee The Open Day and Night" cafe is unknown here and early risers or late retirers face the alternative of carry ing a pocket lunch or of finding one of the two outdoor lunch stands that cater to that distinctive class of night workmen, the newspaper printer. 1 These two "pueblitos," as they are called, consist merely of makeshift | tents which cover few boards serv- ing as tables and chairs. They open by o'clock are hauled down. Here | one may buy coffee, tamales. tortillas and meat highly favored with chili
 Mexico City is not what might be | termed a good restaurant town" Although the capital of the republic l it is not as well supplied with places to eat as Vera Cruz which has only | l-25th the population. The commer- | cial lunch is almost unknown here for | the reason that all business closes | from l o'clock to o'clock p. m., and | everyone that has a home goes to it l for the midday meal which is the i heaviest of the day.

Dry America Is Cause Of Boost
 In Sugar Prices
lRv Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 9.-Prohibition in America has helped materially in raising the prices of sugar two cents a pound in England, according to the economic experts This IS the way the situation is explained: Since the American has been cut off from his cocktails he has been consuming pro- digious quantities of candy, and has been drinking oceans of nondescript but sugary connections which are vended over the soda fountain bar. At least such is the observation of his British brethren. In other words, the American is making sugar a substi- tute for alcohol Because of this the United States has less sugar to ex- port, and because there is a general shortage of sugar throughout the world anyway. England cannot get what she wants and consequently has had to raise the price.

AUTOS IN ENGLAND
 SPECULATIVE
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 9-Purchasing an automobile in England these days IS largely matter of futures" paying for options on machines not yet built At the automobile show here this year at which there were more people and fewer cars than ever be- fore, $5000 was paid for the option on Sl5,O0O chassis that could not pos sibly delivered before next spring. The same amount was collected by man for his place among the first fifty to whom the manufacturers of an expensive car are to deliver ma chimes certainly not before Janu- ary l.
 So many have been dealing in fu- ture contracts with the intention of selling their priority rights that one large firm has made it's contracts non negotiable.
 After the second day of the show the agents for an American manufac- turer of light, cheap, popular car were reputed to have accepted orders for 3S,000 with no delivery promises. Although pressed to accept more or ders they refused on any condition whatever.
 COnveniences on the American ma chimes attracted much attention at the show. Some of the improvements that Americans take as a matter of course are rarely seen on British cars. Manufacturers of machines selling from $2OG0 to $4000 still prominently advertise that a self-starter is in- cluded. It is not unusual to see driver cranking up a $l5,000 car be- cause 1t has no starter.

PREDICT END OF TIE GOAL STRIKE ON WILSON'S PROPOSAL
Miners Bejeue Only Conventjon Of Al
 CQ11 Settle COntrOUersy
(By Associated Press)


 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. g. - Settlement of the strike of coal miners tomorrow confidently was predicted late tonight by a high official. of the United Mine Work CTS of America.
 It was leclared that the con- servative element was in the ma jority and that an agreement on the presidents proposal for ter imitation of the controversy was only a question of how long it would take to hear the arguments of all representatives who wish to speak.
 The general committee of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica meeting here to consider President Wilson's proposal for ending the strike, adjourned to- night at 6:30 o'clock without reaching an agreement. The com nittee will meet again tomorrow morning at e:30. The miners had been in continuous session since 2 o'clock this afternoon when John L. Lewis, acting president of the miners organization, pre- sented the proposal of President Wilson to end the strike which began more that five weeks ago.
 LEWIS NOT TALKATIvE
 q have nothing to say" said MT. Lewis after the adjournment, except that we still have the matter under consideration and will meet again at e:30 tomorrow morning"
 After the miners adjourned, it was reported that a big factor in the opposition tc acceptance of the presidents proposal was the belief on the part of many miners that it would require another ses- sion of the general convention of the United Mine Workers of America to make valid an agree ment to end the strike.
 WILSON'S PROGRAM
 
 The presidents proposal made public by Attorney General Pal mer this afternoon, provides for resumption of work by the min CTS at a IA per cent increase pending final settlement of the wage controversy by commits sion to be appointed by the presi- dent. This commission would include in its personnel one prac- tical miner and one active mine owner or operator and would not only adjust the wage question as related to the increased cost of living, but would adjust coal prices to meet the wage advance without allowing too great bur den to be placed on the public.
 Acting President Lewis and Secretary-Treasurer Wm. Green of the miners, MT. Palmer said, finally agreed to urge their gen. eral committee to accept the presidents plan and called the meeting here today.
 HOLD CONTEMPT CASES UP
 In order that the plan for set tlement might be submitted to the general committee this afternoon the government this morning ask ed and obtained postponement of hearings of charges of criminal contempt pending in the Federal court here against the s4 union heads who form the general com mittee.
