JEWELL ENDS
WAGE APPEAL

Chicago, March BOB. NJ. Jew

crafts, today closed his weeks ar
gument in rebuttal to the railroads
petition for 10 per cent wage re-
duction for shopmen on 204 lines.
Mr.. Jewell reiterated statements
that the whole social structure of
the country is in state of collapse
and will continue so unless the
present system as to profits and
wages is changed. He said he was
asking for living wage for the
workers, for unless the situation
was charged, profits would con-
tinue the principal object of indus
try, control would pass from few
to fewer, wages would be crushed
down and the result would be no
incentive for production and utter
collapse.

FIREMEN IN
DANGER AS
WALL FALLS
Efforts Directed to Save
Nichols Plant When
Flames Conquer.

Fire which completely destroyed
the five and six story starch
building of the old Glucose plant,
Rockingham road, Davenport, and
threatened the lives of several fire
men, resulted in the loss Of 100000
at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
When the building was doomed, all
efforts were directed to save the
Nichols Wire company building
across the way, and the boiler and
office buildings of the Glucose plant
adjoining the starch factory.
The blaze attracted hundreds or
people from the tri-cities and sur
rounding Iowa towns and was one
of the most spectacular fires in re-
cent years No definite cause of the
fire could be found, but the origin
was traced to the south side of the
old starch building, which is the
southwest structure of the group Of
buildings, and is owned by Charles
Brady, $40 Twenty second street,
Rock Island, and the DaY-
export Loan and Investment COM
pany. The machinery stored in this
building, valued at $4,000, was the
property of Otto Thomson of Day-
export.
Laborers had been working in the
| building yesterday afternoon, re-
moving old pipes. Torches were
used in the work, and at 2 o'clock
small blaze occurred which was
quickly extinguished by the work
ers. 1t is believed that another out
break of this fire or that a spark-
from a passing engine started the
second fire.
The building which was totally
wrecked was part a five story and
large portion was a six story
structure. To replace the building.
Mr.. Brady estimated, will cost be
tween 100000 and 100000. Office

Six calls came into the Davenport
fire station within a few minutes
at $50 O'Clock. All companies in
the city responded but because OF
the northwest wind the fire spread
rapidly and within Is minutes the
entire building, 300 feet long, was
in flames. The starch building was
not being used, but was filled with
machinery. Insurance is carried on
the buildings.
The fire swept this building fur
iously, gaining force from the
four floors, which were oil sucked.
When the factory was in use, the
company oiled each of its floors to
keep the dust down and after years
of this application the wood had be-
come saturated with the oil.
The four walls of this building
collapsed. Meanwhile 20 firemen
were working on top of the adjoiH-
ing two-story building, which is
Just between the old starch building
and the elevators. when the north
wall of the starch building cayed in.

Both the MacDonalds are certain
that neither Mary Ellen nor any

for anything that happened.
And despite the clean bill of
health given the place by the noted
DR.. Prince, they have not gone back
to their old home, and their neigh

The alimony, things Miss Piza
took away from Cranes country

Of one of these arguments that Ra-
fael was returned to Illinois at this
time. Crane agreed to pay a S74,-

duced in the Kane county court
and Miss Piza would give a $25, 900

To this she agreed, saying that
she had no intention of taking Ra-

intended to rear him in New York,

Counsel for Crane and his former

PROPERTY OF
GERMANS IS
BIG PUZZLE
Return Would Mean Con
fiscation by Teuton
Government.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., March 3d.
Americas problem with respect to
German property held in the United
States is growing acute.
To give back the property to the
German owners, it has just been
discovered, would mean virtual con-
fiscation by the German govern
ment and the proceeds would go
into the national treasury, either
for government uses or to pay rep
arations to the allied governments.
Colonel Thomas W. Miller, alien
property custodian, who has been
working on the tangle for months,
has presented a plan to President
Harding out of which it is expected
a policy will soon be evolved.
Here are the essential objects
which it is sought to attain by the
plan:
First, American citizens whose
relatives lost their lives in the Lu-
sitania or who lost property at the
hands of Germany during the war,
shall be paid.
Second, German citizens who
have small estates which have been
seized by the American government
shall not be made to suffer un-
duly but should have their prop
erty back as soon as possible and
the German government shall be
required to agree not to apply its
severe tax laws to this particular
property.
Would Pay e. S. Claims.
Third, instead of permitting the
German government to confiscate
through taxation the bulk of the es-
tates held by the alien property
custodian, the American govern
ment shall use a portion of the pro-
ceeds to pay American claims and
a portion as collateral for a huge
trading corporation which shall
help reestablish commercial rela-
tions between the United States and
Germany. One hundred million dol
lars of German assets held by the
American government would be suf-
ficient basis, it is calculated, for
billion dollar credit. There are
German owners with hundred
million dollars worth of property
here who have expressed a strong
desire to have their assets pooled
in such a quasi-government cor
poration which would operate under
the Edge law.
While the Harding administra-
ton is not committed to any spe-
cific proposals and is still welcom-
ing suggestions, it is true that the
plan submitted by Colonel Miller is
the first official solicitation which
has been brought forward.
The United States government
is, of course, opposed to confisca-
tion of the German property and
does not intend to sanction any

testimony, hope to show that the
death of Miss Virginia Rappe was
due to an old ailment, rather than
to an attack the prosecution alleges
Arbuckle made on her.
