GERMANS PLOT
POINCARE'S LIFE
MOnarChiStS Who Slew Rathenau
Involved in Conspiracy,
1t Is Believed.
ALLIED NATIONS WARNING
Defenselessness of City of London to
Air Raids Is Source OF Much Discus
sion in Berlin-French Premier
Protected by Detectives.

Paris. - The French Foreign Office
publishes the following note:
'The French government has been
Informed from a reliable source that in
German monarchist quarters an attack
on Premier Poincare is said to have
been planned"
No details are given officially, but 1t
is understood that the information re-
ferred to was transmitted to Paris by
the Berlin government as a result of
discoveries by German police who have
been investigating monarchlst Organi-
cations, one Of which was responsible
for the recent assassination of Foreign
Minister Rathenau.
The Premier stated that information
regarding the plot to assassinate him
was transmitted to him personally by
an allied power He refused to specify
which power, but it is understood to
be England
The Premier also confirmed the sur
mise that the discovery was made dur
ing investigation of Rathenau's murder
and that it was the same organization
which planned the attempt on his life.
Paris.-When Premier Poincare left
Paris for his country home in the De-
partment of the Meuse elaborate pre-
cautions for his safety were taken at
the railway station. Scores of police
man and detectives surrounded mis-
train or circulated among the crowds.
No one was allowed to approach the
station platform unless he had a ticket
permitting him to do so.
Numerous detectives accompanied
the Premier to his country home. AS a
precautionary measure pilot engine
was sent ahead of the train to prevent
any attempt at wrecking it.
The guard around the country home
of NJ. Poincare has been greatly in
creased. Ever since the assassination
of DIR. Rathenau, NJ. Poincare has prob
ably been the most closely guarded
prime minister of Europe. Every ave
nue. sto his residence in the Rue Mar
beau has been watched night and day,
and extraordinary precautions have
been taken at the Foreign Office and
while the Premier was riding to and
from his home.

Carr from collecting alleged unlawful
taxes of $75,645 assessed against the
Drake Hotel Tuesday centered in a
petition for a writ of injunction filed
in Circuit Court to restrain the treas
urer from taking further steps toward
collection.
The Whitestone company, owners
of the hotel, assert the county treas
urer has threatened to levy upon the
hotel unless payment of the tax is
made promptly.
1t is contended that as the tax COM
mission made no assessment upon the
capital stock in 1921, any assessment
made by the board of assessors based
on the capital stock is illegal. Taxes
amounting to $66,943 were paid in
| 1921, according to the petition, which
| fixes the assessed value of the hotel
land, buildings, and property at ST.,

Court asked the County Board either
to authorize the cancellation of a lot
of uncollected earnings of his office or
that the states attorney be directed To
institute legal action to recover the
money, as is done in the case of delin-
quent taxes.

On Monday the finance committee
| reported to the County Board that pos
sibly loss of 81 ,OOO,G might be sus-
tanned by the county in the matter.
| The report urges that Mr.. Devine.
| clerk of the court, be required to col
! lect all fees in advance, as is done in
the Circuit and Superior courts.
| The report, which was adopted by
! the board, probably will result in radi-
cal changes in the collection system
! of the court.
1t discloses that since 1877 the total
of uncollected costs of prObating es-
| tates has been allowed to mount up at
the rate of about $4,000 yearly, until
at present $1.172,276.61 is due. 1t was
pointed out that during the last five
years the Probate court has in the
| case of small estates, as authorized by
| law. remitted costs amounting to
about $425.000, while in the same
period the Circuit and Superior courts
together have remitted about 100000

hours short of this and it was feared
the bond issues would not be legal
even if approved by the people. The
change in rate was suggested by
Comptroller George Harding, who ex-
planned that city of Chicago 415s bonds
could be sold at par whereas 5 per
cent bonds would have to be sold at a
premium.
The change or fate would have
meant an interest saving to the city
of practically 100000 during the life
of the bonds.

The Radio is going to knock out not
only the daily newspapers but what is
much worse, the pleasures of antici-
patton. No longer can the ecstatic
joy of waiting until the next morning
for the news be felt in the land. The
Radio tells all about fight results,
baseball results and general results.
The concert halls bill becomes passe
because the best concert can be heard
at home without extra charge And
so it goes all along the line.
The Radio robs life of its privacy.
1t abOlishes rest.
No man can hide himself from it on
land or sea.
The man with a country home has
only to put on pair of radio ears to
have all of his business bOthers thrust
upon him when he thinks he has es-
capped them for a time.
The privacy of your BUSINESS, pOliti-
cal and social life becomes public
property by reason of countless but

by the radio.
The people who go abroad for need

One of the most successful stag af- fairs held so far this season was the firemen's smoker on Monday night.
 At the business meeting which preceded the smoker it was decided to offer to contribute s150 toward the reshingling of the roof of the fire hall. Four hundred and fifty feet of new hose was ordered.
 Following the business session cards were played, and later sump- tuous lunch was served.
 The success of the affair was large ly due to the efforts of the committee on arrangement consisting of E. A Lindman, Arnt Sorset and I.C. Bjorge
 There will be no meeting in January but on the first Monday night in Feb ruary there will surely be something doing. The committee which will have charge of the February smoker is composed of NJ. o. Johnson, Harry Coulter and L. M Campbell.
