Y.. to attend the funeral tomorrow of Theodore Roosevelt
 President Wilson at Paris sent a personal cablegram 10 Mir. Marshall today asking that he attend the funer- al as the Presidents representative. Later Mir Wilson sent an official proc lamation to the American people, in which he paid high tribute to MT Roosevelt, and directed that flags on all government buildings be displayed at half mast for thirty days and that suitable military and naval honors be rendered
 Inquiries as to why government. de- partments were not ordered closed during the funeral revealed that an act passed in 1893 forbids such marks of respect to former government off cials. AS far as possible, however. government activities will cease. The Senate adjourned over tonight until Thursday. and the House will meet for only brief session.
 Most committee hearings set for to- morrow were abandoned.
 General Peyton C. March. chief Of staff. will represent the War Depart ment at the funeral: Assistant Sec- retarg William Phillips will act for the state department. and Rear Ad- miral Cameron McR. Winslow was named by Secretary Daniels 10 repres ent the Navy Department.

agreement for a league of nations to warrant his feeling that definite ground woork has been laid on which the congress can proceed 10 build.
 President Wilson has completed his swing through England and Italy, re- turning to Paris at 10 o'clock this morning. He was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and Miss Margaret Will son.
 The President is ready for the first gathering of the premiers and states men of the entente powers, and the in formal conferences will begin on Thursday or Friday.
 The first conferences will be in the nature of informal exchanges of view s by the various groups having common interests. These will then be conden- sed and reduced to memoranda, which the interested nations will sign and pass to the peace conference to be in- corporated, if satisfactory, in the final terms.
 It is believed, that by this method, the great powers can avoid calling i'll the representatives of neutral states and nominal belligerents when their interests are discussed.
 Under the present scheme, the rep resentatives of neutral states and the smaller belligerents will first meet the representatives of the powers with whom they have questions pend ing. with the object of settling them while the others will be free to confer with these whom they have interests. The conference will concrn principal ly the local questions. It will be a process of elimination which is eX- pected to reduce greatly the detailed work Of the general conference.

Harsh Egyptian Custom.

The law of the Egyptians in respect to debtors and creditors was to the eff feet that no man was permitted te borrow money without pawning to the creditor the dead body of his father or nearest ancestor, which every mal kept e1nbalmed in his house. It was thought infamous and impious not tc redeem so precious pledge. and he who died without having discharged that duty was deprived of the GUS. tomary honors of burial.

}. W. 7. MASON.

The war which has Officially ended
today, has cost the world 7,560,00
in lives, and $186, 750, 100000 in mon
ey. The allies have paid death toll
of 100000 and $500, 100000 for
victory. The central powers have lost
2,750,O00 In, killed, and $66,25O,-
100000 in addition to the indemnity
they must pay for their unsuccessful
attempt to dominate the world.
1t will cost, the allies six billion
dollars annually to, pay the interest
on their war debts. Germany's inter-
est bill will be about two million dol
lars yearly. The other central pow
ers will probably repudiate their OBJ
legations. but II. they don't their. year.

These annual charges will be in
creased for the purpose of, paying off
part of the principle of the war debts.

from now onward will have to raise
at least four to five times as much
money by taxation as before the war,

BURIAL Of ]. BARLEYc0R

Few. People Attended Wakes, Held
1 @ In Nearby Wet Towns.
Fortified by nearly five months of
a dry, and dusty Sahara region in
Blue Earth county, Mankato, patrons
of the mahogany bar were not as
loath to bid farewell to old John
3arleycorn. as might have been the
case ere the county option law went
into effect here. 1t is reported that
the number who went to, visit the
nearby oasis at st. Peter and neigh
boring wet towns were FEWER in
number than might have been ex-
rpected.
Contrary to the popular prediction
there was not single serious acct
dent reported to have. takon place on
the st. Peter road. 1t was claimed
yesterday afternoon in Mankato that
bars at st. Peter were running low
on wet goods, due to the fact that
they did not stock up for sometime
before July l. Rumor has it that
some .Katoites were afraid they would
not be able to fully quench their
thirst at st. Peter SO they journey
ed on to GAINESVILLE and other visited
New Ulm to celebrate the passing of
Old John B.
The saloons in all the towns mem
, toned were closed today with the
exception of those places where soft
|, drinks were dispensed.
In New Ulm John B.. passed away
without much of a struggle. The
band was. out and played the fun
! eral march from Saul.
1t is said that on Saturday and
yesterday whiskey sold as high, as
from $50 to SIS per case in New

BULLET HN' BYSIADR
AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING AT
ELYSiAN iAST,k1GHT
OFFICER WAS. PUNCHED
Trouble Started BY Joe Stones;
Marshal On Job; WeBdle.
schafer Victim

In fight which resulted when
Marshal J. A.. Lemont of .Elysian at
tempted to arrest Joe Stones Of
Minneapolis on the main street Of
the. village last night, Charles Wen
delschafer, a retired farmer living in
Elysian, was accidently shot in the
fieshy part of the right leg above the
knee. The wound is not a serious one
however, and Mr.. Wendelschafer is
reported to be getting along nicely
today.
According to the statement of
Marshal Lemont to the Free Press
today it would appear that Stones
was standing on the sidewalk In
Elysian, making remarks at women
who passed him. He was said to
have been in somewhat intoxicated
condition. Marshal Lemont stepped
forward and ordered Stones to- destst
from making remarks.
The fellow replied, according "
reports, by giving the marshal the
benefit of a "haymaker" straight
from the shoulder. Lemont was
knocked off the sidewalk. He i'm
mediately pulled his revolver, intend
ing to use it to knock Stones out.
This apparently was far from Stones
intention and he promptly clinched
with the marshal.
Rolled Over On Sidewalk.
Together they rolled over on the
sidewalk, Stones on the bottom. the
marshal on top of him and the re-
volver under the two. In some man
ner during the scuffle the gun was
discharged and Mr.. Wendelshafer
who was standing near was struck in
the thigh. Stones was overpowered
and this morning appeared before
Justice s. G.. Warburton by whom he
was sentenced to pay fine OF $50
and costs for resisting and assault
ing an officer. He pleaded guilty to
the offense.
Marshal Lemont stated this after
noon that his nose was sore, both
eyes discolored from his part. in the
fray and his shoulders lame and
sore but that was still fit and Ia the
ring ready for the next man who may
desecrate the peace and dignity OF
the village.

SALOONS CLOSE DOORS
War Time Prohibition Died Hard in
Old Gopher State.

limited Press Dispatch.l
st. Paul, July More than two
thousand saloons and breweries in
Minnesota were closed today.
War time prohibition died hard in
the twin cities. It was estimated
today that thousands of gallons of
whiskey and much beer remains. in
saloons and warehouses that cannot
be sold now except for reduction to
alcohol for commercial purposes.
. Federal agents were on the job
early today to prevent any attempts
to move the liquor. The new law
prohibits even transportation of the
liquors without government permits.
In ST. Paul less than month ago
it was estimated there were more
than 100, 900 quarts of whiskey on
hand in saloons and wholesale
houses, Authorities are, confident
that much Of this was unsold.
