FORMER GERMAN KAISER
CREATES LITTLE POTSDAM

Once Ruler of Country, He Now
Has Eighty Acres in His Empire,
With Following of 40 Servants.
The former German emperor, Will
liam, while processing to lead at
Doom, Holland, the life of coun-
try gentleman, has, nevertheless,
created a little court around him,
somewhat larger than that which he
had at Amerongen. Dutch newspa-
pers have already begun calling
Doorn "The Little Potsdam."
Strict military order prevails out
side the house of Doom, where pass
ersby must not be too curious. With
in, the discipline is Prussian. Will
liam's only associates are Germans.
His entire retinue of servants are
German with one exception, the vii
lage barber, a Dutchnan, who is
called in occasionally to trim the
hair or beard of the former German
ruler.
When at Amerongen William
went frequently to Doom by auto
mobile, but now he is seldom seen
outside the wire fence of his estate,
which villagers call his "forty-hec-
tare cage" Forty hectares are about
80 acres. The few times he has been
out he has paid visits to his former
host, Count Bentinck.

Japanese Call Pacific
Land Legislation a Peril
Serious Menace to Friendship

in Action

TOXIC, Oct. 26 BY The Associated
Press The political affairs commit

adopted the following resolution:
"ReSolved, that the anti-Japanese
land legislation in California is not
merely a threat against the develop

this empire and America.
Viewed either from the standpoint
of humanity and justice or the stand
point of Japan's rights acquired by
treaty stipulations or from the prin-
cipe of international friendship bind
ing two neighboring nations, such un-
reasonable and unjust legislation can
not be tolerated.

Two armed men sauntered out of the
back room of a cafe at 600 Columbus
Avenue late last night and, drawing
their guns, entered the front door,
where they faced James Fowler, an
oyster man. "Throw up your hands,"
they shouted to him. Fowler hastily
obeyed
At that moment Andrew II. Hol-
locher, proprietor of the place, stepped
out of a side room. One of the men
leveled his gun at Holocher and or
dered him likewise to throw up his
hands. He obeved
"Where is your money!" shouted one
of them
"In drawer" answered Holocher
adding, "but only have the combina-
tion.'
GO and open it," commanded the
man.
hollocher went behind the counter
and opened the drawer, still cover
ed by both men. Instead of withdraw
ing pile of bills, however. he whipped
out a revolver and iired.
Both robbers dropped to the floor,
one with a bullet in his head and the
other with bullet below the heart.
AS Hollocher approached to see how
badly injured they were. one of them
half rose and fired at Hollocher, the
bullet entering his side.
An ambulance surgeon removed all
three to the Knckerbocker Hospital,

Italy Decides to Resume
Jugo-Slav Negotiations
FARLEY on Adriaiic Question
Will Be Convened Soon,
Probably at Venice
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1920, New York Tribune Inc.
MILAN, Italy Oct. 26.-~The Italian
government has decided to renew ne
gotlations with the Jugo- Slavs in an
effort to reach settlement of the Ad.
rlatic question, both political and eco
nomic.
The parley, which was delayed bv
the Jugo- o-Slavic occupation Of the Kla-
senfurt district after the plebiscite
there went against them, is to be CON
vened soon, probably at Venice, as the
Jugo- Slavs have now withdrawn their
troops.
Giolitti wants to have the question
settled before Parliament meets. No.
vember 10, and Will attend the meeting
in person, together with Count Sforza'
the Foreign Minister; Minister of War
Bonomi and Minister of Finances Fact.
The Jugo-Slavic representatives will
be Vcsnitch, Trumbi and the Minis
ter of Finance, Stojanovitch.
Both Italians and Jugo- -Slavs are
coming to feel that purely political
settlement would not be lasting or
satisfactory, and for that reason the
economic features are to be consid-
cred. Among those whom Giolitti has
consulted on the matter is Vice
President Bedford of the American
Chamber of Commerce., who recently
has gathered fund of information
regarding Italian trade and industry.

the concern had on hand 2600O cases
Of empty gin bottles containing twelve
bottles each. Of these 1900 bottles
were shipped to the Bahamas with the

The Gordon Company alleged in the
Supreme Court yesterday that it has
learned that Glckstein, Wickenfeld

have supplied to others bottles Of
the same shape used by the gin com

same blown glass lettering. The
Gordon Company asked the court for
an injunction restraining the bottle
dealers from dealing in these bottles,
to which, for forty years, the petit
toner and its English forerunners
have had the exclusive rights.
