Farmers now are being paid $2.O5

KATSER'S HONEYMOON

Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm and His Bride
Must Spend Honeymoon Within.

Doom, Holland = The ex-kaiser
just married, left Castle Doom for the
first time in months today, but he left
his bride behind him.
Wilhelm, up early the morning after
his marriage to Princess Hermine, mo-
tored from the castle to Amersfort
station, accompanying his sister-in-law
who was returning to Germany.
Back at Doom house the ex-empor-
orr warmly greeted his bride, who by
this time had put in an appearance
and the couple rosy checked and ap-
'parently most happy, took walk
about the grounds.
Ex-kaiser Wilhelm Hohenzollern and
his bride, formerly the Princess Her
mine, were united in marriage by civil
and religious ceremonies at DoorE
house yesterday noon and today were
on their honeymoon within the
castle walls.
The pomp and splendor with which
Wilhelm surrounded himself upon the
occasion of his second wedding could
not suffice to stretch whit the narrow
cnfines within which he and the new
mistress of the house of Hohenzollern
must spend the first few days of their
married life.
Walls surmounted by, barbed wire
entanglements, kept the honeymooners
just as certainly as they kept out the
journalists and camera men during
the ceremony yesterday. A space about
a mile and half in circumference is
all in which Wilhelm and Hermine
have to roam.
1t leaked out today that Wilhelm,
whose every word isNlaw only within
the little castle, seized the opportun-
ity of his nuptials to return for a
brief moment to the glories of grand
headquarters at Spa. The ex-kaiser
personally drew up wedding program
in military style and required his aides
and guests and even his bride to fol-
low it to the letter.

Property Own err
in Tax Contest

Superior, Wis.-Papers were filed
yesterday at the Office of Charles Wick
stron, clerk Of Superior court, by at
torneys for Henry Clay Pierce of New
York to restrain Thomas S. Jordon Of
the town of Highland from calling or
enforcing taxes on property owned by
Pierce of the town Of Highland of
which he charges were over-assessed.
Mr.. Pierce claims that the value of the
property owned by him at Highland
was wQFth less than half of the as
sessed value which was $4,000. That
he had brought the matter before the
town board of Highland and had pro
duced uncontradieted evidence that the
value of the property was less than
half of the pretented assessed value
and that the town board had reduced
that taxed on the value of personal
property not exempt from $4,000 to
s., 1886 but had sustained the assessed
value of the real property.

would not be permitted to land from

An extraordinary meeting of the
Allied commissioners quickly assem-

take in the quickly altered situation,
determined that they would refuse
categorically the demand for military
evacuation of Constantinople.
Along with the demand for the de-
parture of Allied troops the Turkish
nationalist government in an add

the Turkish railways in Europe and
Asia which are under temporary Allied
control, be handed over to the Angora
government immediately. Over the

FOUNDRY FIRE

Fire at Foundry of Special

$4,000 Damage.
HAD STRANGE ORIGIN

A dangerous fire broke out Friday
evening just before o'clock in the
plant of the Speciality Brass company
at 865 Rowland avenue, infiicting more
than $4,000 damages before it could be
extinguished by the fire department.
The quick and efficient work of two
lines of hose laid by the firemen pre-
vented further loss to the company.
The fire started in the melting de-
partment of the foundry. Early Fri
DAY evening a spark from one of the
melting pots had caused small fire
which, it was believed, had been ex-
tinguished by chemicals at the plant.
Later in the evening a Waterman dis

Prevents Spread of Flames.
The fire department laid two lines of
hcse>and by quick work soon got con-

largely to the stock of the company
which was ruined either by the flames
or water. The probable damage to the
plant was estimated at $1,000 with a
loss of $4,000 on equipment and stock.
All of the loss is said to be covered
by insurance.
Chief Schwartz stated this morning
that the FIRE illustrated ths<need of
calling the department whenever a
small blaze occurs in order to make
