HERR ERZBERCER
ASSASSINATED

The assassination of Herr Erzber-
ger at the instance of his political foes
has thrown Germany into ferment of
demonstrations and counter demon
strations, accompanied sometimes by
rather serious rioting. First the roy
alists took the field, at Potsdam, for
the ostensible purpose of celebrating
the victory of Tannenberg. The COM
munists and independent socialists
from Berlin, some 10000 strong, en-
ragged by the Erzberger murder,
marched to the suburb and attacked
the royalists. The police were COM
PEELED to intervene and killed several
persons. Next day representatives Of
100000 organized workers assured
Chancellor Wirth that they were
ready to go to the front for the re-
public, and both the majority and in
dependent socialists demanded that
the government proceed fearlessly
against the elements responsible for
the anti-republican demonstrations
and the death of Erzberger. At the
same time President Ebert issued
proclamation declaring the intention
of the government to suppress with
the iron hand" and with "unrelent-
ing severity" all opposition to the re-
public. He threatened the nationalist
press with suppression and confisca-
ton and prohibited meetings, demon
STATIONS and publications likely to en-
courage seditious movements On
Wednesday, the day the murdered ex-
chancellor was buried, 100000 work i
men and employers in all parts of
Germany left their work to take part
In meetings "for the republic and
against political murder" There is
little doubt that the government will
be able to control the situation in
Germany and In general keep the re-
dictionaries within bounds.

STRIKE BAN GOING
TO TEST IN KANSAS

PTTTSBURG. Kan, Feb. 9-Labor IN
tends to fight for the right to strike
when and where it peases.
The State Of Kansas is determined
to eliminate the strike as useless eco.
nomic waste and substitute industrial
justice.
That epitomizes the situation between
Alexander Howat and other officials OF
the United Mine Workers of America
and the State. represented by the Kansas
Industrial Court and the district court.
Granted weeks continuance Of the
hearings on the charge against Howat
and his associates Of contempt OF court
in calling a strike, labor forces are mar
shaling their legal forces for an attack
on the Industrial Court law, which
Howat has always refused to recognize
and has forbidden union members to rec
ognize.
The State Is ready to so ahead on three
charges against Howat:
/. Contempt Of court In issuing a strike
order In violation OF Judge Curran's in
junction
?. Violation Of the Industrial Court
law in calling the strike.
3. Conspiracy to prevent operation Of
the law by fning members who take
their cases to 1t for adjudication.
Although miners In two mines are idle
in protest against court Interference with
Howats strike order, mine officials are
Inclined TO belieev there will be no fur
ther spread of sympathy" during the
weeks continuance, unless the Industrial
Court should take some definite action
in the meantime.

HALTN NAVAL
BUILDINGL LEFT
OVER FOR MAR. 4
Leaders in Congress Agree
Harding Should Pass on
Suspension.
HIS VIEWS CONCEALED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Republi-
can leaders of Congress are of the
opinion that nothing should be done
to interfere with the American naval
building program until the whole
subject has been carefully considered
by President-elect Harding after he
assumes office and by the new Con-
gress.
Harding is known strongly to favor the
development and maintenance of the
American Navy as the first line Of defense
and thus far has given no indication that
he regards with favor the disarmament
agitation that has been going on in and
out of Congress.
The action Of the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee is unanimously opposing sus-
pension Of the building program reflected
the attitude of Democratic as well as Re
publican leaders.
Senator Poindexter, Republican, Wash
ington, as spokesman for the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee, was to make
report to the Senate later in the day ex-
pressing the opinion that it would not
be a practical or sound policy to suspend
the building program now IN progress
for six months.

HOLDS UP JAPS'
FOOD GRAB AS
FAMINE CAUSE
American Financier Charges
Chinese Deliberately Left
to Starve.
URGES U. S. RICE GIFT

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-That ap-
palling famine exists in China as a
result of Japan's seizure of the avail
able food supply of Shantung was the
statement today of Guy M. Walker,
flnancier and leading American au-
thority on Chinese relations.
The action Of the United States in send
ing money for relief Of the starving mil
lions, rather than the vast surplus Of
rice now piled up without a market on
the Pacific coast. also was severely crii-
ciscd by Mr.. Walker.
He said:
THE real cause Of the present famine
in the stricken districts Of Shantung was
not a crop failure, as has been reported.
japanese agents bought up the food
stores last summer They absolutely
gutted the famine district OF its food
supplies in a systematic and well or
ganized plan to strip the district"
SEEKS TO FORCE
EXODUS OF CHINESE
The food was gathered In japanese
warehouses and shipped out of the prov
ince over the japanese railroad to Kiao
Chow, former German territory.
Japans object In this, Mr.. Walker de
clared, was to force great exodus OF
Chinese from the district and at the
present time. he said japanese agents
are everywhere buying out the starving
Chinese, who are forced to sell their
lands and possessions
The famine district covers an area the
size Of the State Of Pennsylvania. It is
populated by between 100000 ana
100000 persons. Their food is ex-
hausted Ground bark, thisties, chat
and stored tree leaves are being eaten
and these substitutes will last only a few
more weeks. Unless food IS sent ut once,
millions will perish, where only thou
sands now are dying for want Of nour-
ishment
POINTS TO HUGE
CROP IN STORAGE.
8ir. Walker pointed out that millions
of bags Of the California rice crop are In
storage with no market In this country.
Il suggest that supplies Of this rice oe
purchased, loaded into idle shipping
board ships and sent to PukOw, on the
Yangste River, right In the famine dis
trict," he said There it can be loaded
on the railroads and In twenty four hours
reach the famine sufferers
Mr. Walker said the stripping Of the
famine district resulted from the Chinese
boycott growing out Of the Shantung
award by the peace treaty TO Japan
