WEALTH OF BILL
is WORRY CAUSE
Different Factions Have Differ
ent Ends for Coin.

BERLIN, July "A great topic OF
discussion In parliamentary circles is the
fate OF the ex-kaiser's millions.
The natioualists assert that It would
indicate fear IL the money were not hand
ed over.
The socialists, on the other hand, re
-peatediy suggest that the greater part
Of the ex-emperor's fortune should go TO
the widows and orphans Of the war
Let the Hohenzollern family earn their
living by the sweat Of their brow" they
say. Every Hohenzollern is taught q
trade"
A new feature IS added TO the dispute
every day. Palaces, plate. linen, jewel
~ and forty castles in the coHntry are
involved. At a recent sale property be-
longing 70 the e1-kaiser realized more
than $40, 200. 600 and II is estimated that
the remaining property OF the Hohen-
zoilerns 70 Berlin alone amounts 30 200.
0O0. 900 marks (nominally $4,000, Oo0l
This belongs to me-" says the ex-
kaiser, In effect. 1T belongs to the
state" thunder the socialists; and as
soon as the ownership Of, say, the palace
linen 10 settled. another little matter
crops up involving about $500,0Oo worth
Of china.
When the ex-kalser's great grandfather,
Frederick william III, died he left not
more than about $500 900 year In trust
for the Hohenzollerns. During his life
time he managed to rub along on $500 %
600 a year, which IS considerably less
than half the sum his great grandson re-
celved as king Of Prussia.
The ex kaiser was VIGOROUSLY extrava-
CANT He began on salary" OF $4,000,
900. IN addition TO which there was the
s.. 100000 a year from the great grand
fathers trust fund. His private Income
amounted TO 81, 900 900. and shortly before
the war the reichstag favored him with
a further sum which brought his yearly
income we'll above a million sterling.
When the ex kaiser's lawyers first sub
m!tted their clients claims TO the reichs-
tag the demands made were partly recog
nized. Since then the socialist party have
accused the ex-kRiser OF wishing to en-
barrass the state, and they have raised
the question OF the origin OF the millions
Of marks which the fallen ruler claims
to be his.
bill is shortly to be brought up In
the reichstag, but. in face OF the socialist
partys question, Where do the e1-
kaisers millions come from ?" its fate
Is in the balance.

Gold Rush FOlIOWs Finding
Pay Dirt in Foul.

CALGARY, Alaska, July 3.-An April
Fools Klondike-that's what the wise
acres call It.
And it was caused by a goose sup
ported by duck, which ought to cinch
But others are not so sure.
1t may be a real gold aeld.
A Calgary butcher bought some geese
from a farmer on Snake creek near De
Winton, twenty miles south.
Two stable gold nuggets were found
In the crop OF one of the geese when
it was killed.
A little later, the butcher bought some
ducks from the same farmer.
Another gold nugget was found in the
crop of a duck.
The butcher consulted man who had
invented a gold separating machine.
The two hurried to the farm.
They brought back a quantity Of
gravel and sand which they had scoopad
up by hand along Snake creek.
City Chemist Field found it contained
$3.50 worth Of gold per cubic yard,
figuring the value of gold at $50 an
ounce.
The news leaked out and a mad rush
Of people from Calgary started for Snake
creek.
Excited argonauts on foot, horseback
and in automobiles clattered up the
roads.
Snake creek. they found, was only
two miles long
1t rises in a spring and meanders
through a coulee mostly on the ranch
of c. G. Beeching.
Hundreds of gold hunters staked
claims.
These claim-staking operations contin-
ued by moonlight all night.
They proved up by digging a lot Of
holes.
This was on April /.
But none Of the potential placer min
ers thinks Of the Snake creek diggings
az an April fools joke.
They have faith in their claims.
They talk Of getting in up-to-date
mining machinery.
There's plenty Of gold to be got out

Beechirg, but the best way to get II

NATURE CONES TO
AID IN II. &. L. WAR
Man, 81, Barred From False
Teeth Cuts Third Set.

The adage, that there IS nothing new
N D. Starr who has cut a third set OF
teeth at the age Of 81, when usually the
only new molars, bicuspids, etc, that
can be achieved are those purchased from
a dentist, says the Memphis Commercial
Appeal.
Mr.. Starr, who Is in the employ Of the
Memphis Artesian Water Company, re-
Gently found himself in need Of a set Of
provided by nature.
But when he visited his dentist the
price was too high and he decided to
20 toothless
However, through one Of the unac-
countable happenings which sometimes
upset all rules Mr.. Starr discovered that
he was cutting twelve new teeth.
They are almost through now, al
though they are not very useful yet, ow.
ing to the fact that his gums are sore
in q fashion familiar TO all mothers of
teething infants or to boys and girls
whose second teeth are replacing their
baby teeth, and even to the older boys
and girls who proudly announce, I'm
cutting a wisdom tooth!"
Dentists doubtless will contend that
such a thing can not happen.
But Mr.. Starr knows that he now has
teeth where no teeth were before.
Moreover, he says his eyesight is bet
ter than it was several years ago and so
far from his vigor being lupa4ieu by adj
vancing years. he feels stronger and more
youthful than he did when he was 20.

FAIL TO AGREE
ON INDEMNITY
Allied Conference Quits With
out German Agreement.

BRUSSELS. July 3.-The inter-allied
conference was dissolved this afternoon
without any definite agreement as to the
amount of German indemnity that viii
be apportioned among the allied powers.
The various statesmen were unable
to agree upon percentages, and 1t was
announced that no more formal sessions
would be held. although the leaders wild
continue to hold informal conversations
among themselves in hope Of reaching
opens next week with representatives
Of Germany present
Premier Lloyd George attempted to eff
feet a compromise by proposing diBtri-
button on certain conditions as follows:
France, At per cent: England, 20 per
cent; Belgium, Is per cent. This would
leave but 20 per cent to be apportioned
among Italy and the smaller powers
while Italy herself Is demanding 20 per
cent of the total amount OF indemnity
secured from Germany.
The British premier proposed also that
the provision Of the peace treaty provid-
ing for a priority payment OF 100000
the present rate of exchanged, be waived.
BERLIN, July Germany will not
agree to any allied proposal made at Spa
which the German people feel they will
be unable to fulfill. Foreign Minister
Simons told the reichstag foreign affairs
committee today.
He said the most pressing problem fac
ing Germany was restoration Of normal
economic basis and return of the Ger
man people to their work
Simons outlined the internal situation
stressing the need for raw materials and
credits.
Herr Heffelrich. speaking before the
reichstag meeting, caused a stir By de-
claring the treaty would not have been
so drastic If the entire German nation
had stood behind the government lead
ers, who held out against signing the
document
Finance Minister With declared such
talk at the present time was against the
national interest.
The government has not yet named the
bankers and business men who VIII go
to Spa.
1t was said they will be sent after
the conference opens.
The German delegation to Spa will
number twenty five and will include the
ministers Of foreign affairs, food, econom-
les and reconstruction.
A memorandum, signed By a number Of
business men has been prepared for sub
mission at Spa, pointing out that Ger
many's ability to pay a large indemnity
has been limited as a result Of surrender-
Ing Of many territories.

Fight Prison for
Expectant Moth or

BOSTON. July 3.-No woman who IS
a prospective mother should be sent to
prison.
That is the opinion Of two Boston
women consulted In regard to the sen
tence imposed upon young Pearl Odell,
of New York state.
Mrs. Odell has been sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary for In
citing her husband to kill the man who
before her marriage betrayed her.
In the opinion of Mrs. True Worthy
White. of the League of Women Voters,
and Mrs Marie Dewing Faeten, presi-
dent Of the Professional Women's club,
Pearl 'Odell should not become mother
in prison.
Motherhood. they affirm, Is more to be
considered than a year Of the sentence.
On the other hand, Alice Stone Black
we'll and DR.. Evangeline Young think
that being born in prison would not
harm the baby.

TELLS OF SERVICE
IN WAR COUNTRY
Singer, Who Entertained
Wounded, Visits in City.

There has never been a time during
the many years that 1 was in Europe
that did not long to come home to the
United States" said Nine. Marcella
Jellinek, today telling of her experiences
in concert work in the old country.
Nine. Jellinek, who has been known
to the public as Marcella Lindh, has
sung before the royalty in nearly every
country in Europe
During the war she witnessed the rev.
olutions in Budapest, Hungary, and
was held in Vienna for over a year try
ing to get passports to the United States
Nine. Jellinek, who is visiting Mrs. F.
E. Moscovics, 3S17 North Delaware street,
arrived in New York about six weeks ago
with her daughter Edna. Her husband
and son are still In Hungary, waiting for
the time when they can secure passports.
Nine. Jellinek is planning to appear
again before the American public, and
will remain in the United States for
number Of years.
English and American songs will be
big feature in her tentative program.
During the war Nine. Jellinek sang be-
fore the wounded soldiers at the hospitals
under the American mission.
1T was during my work there that
had the pleasure Of meeting Gladys
Vanderbilt and Ambassador Gerard's
sister-in-law, who did so much work in
Hungary" she said.
II want to forget-not remember-the
awful things I saw in those hospitals"
Nine Jellinek declared.
She said that many nights just be-
fore her number came on the program
a soldier with hideous wounds would be
placed at her feet in the already crowded
room.
When I would go TO my lodging l
could see those sights before me and it
was awful

Nine JellInek said that the Hungar-

EATS 5000 MEAL
AND DROPS CRUMB

ATLANTA, Ga, July Capt Rheba
Crawford, Salvation Army lassie, ate the
prize meal here
1t cost 5000 piunks cold cash
On the face Of that statement. It
would appear that Miss Crawford
must have consumed about fifty planked
steaks garnished with hummiug bird
wings.
Nothing, however. could be farther
from the truth. What Miss Crawford
actually ate was one puny doughnut
with an unusually large hole.
What Miss Crawford actually drank
was one cup of coffee, lukewarm at that.
Yet the meal did cost 5000 bucks
The American legion spaid for it in
five new and crisp $1,000 bills.
Mayor Key and Capt. Bill Bailey
served It, cOurteOusly waving the 10 per
cent tip OF $500 due them.
The whole scene was staged on a
truck at Five Points, IN the presence Of
a crowd of several hundred, who watched
eagerly while Miss Crawford made away
with 5000 worth Of dough and java.
Every now and then a $25 crumb
drifted to the pavement, but on the
whole Miss Crawford was quite com
POSED over each $500 bite.
Afterward she remarked th4t it was
pretty good chow, but she had tasted
better for two bits at local cafeterias.
The stunt was part Of the program
for Legion day In the Salvation Army 5
$4,000 campaign.
The idea was that the Salvation Army
dOughnUts and coffee were worth more
than millions to members Of the legion
while they were in France, and they
would prove the fact by buying the
doughnut and coffee from the army for
So, 600 now.
The price was raised in cash cOntribu
lions among the $500 members Of the
legion in Atlanta, and was paid promptly
on the spot to the army.
