GERMAN RADICALS
aim OVERTHROW
PRESENT CABINET
-Monarchist Feeling
Gives Opportunity
To Socialists.

BERLIN. July 2.-Executive COM
mittees of several political parties are
meeting at the Reichstag today to
arrange for a change in the German
government. II a compromise is
reached it will probably include the
left wing. and will likely result in
upsetting the present cabinet, with
the formation of a purely Socialist
government.
This expected political development
is the result 6f the assassination of
Walter Rathenau and the present
wave of anti-monarchist passion
throughout the country.
The government coalition, which is
the minority coalition, officially
offered the Independent Socialists a
party government.
The independents answered with a
list of concessions, on which 1t is re-
liably reported is the place of foreign
minister for Rudolph Breitscheid. who
is the speaker of the independents,
clever and strong leader, bitterly
opposed to the government, and who
would have gained the foreign
ministry had he belonged to the
other party.
While the Independents are COM
promising with the government
they are dealing with the Social
Democrats, which remains the big
gest of the seven parties. Negotia-
tions are under way for the ANAL
gamation of every Socialist organi-
zation with the Federation of Labor.
in the hope of becoming strong
enough to upset the coalition and
establish Socialist government.
Such an event would put Germany
exactly where II was after the
Kaiser's fight.
Thus the assassination Of Walter
Rathenau has ended years of battle
with the left wing parties. which.
at times, were more bitter than
their fight with the reactionaries.
1t Is apparently the radical ele-
ments who are in complete posses
sion of the leadership. while the
independents. frightened by the
growth of monarchism, are now
willing to deal with them.

A. w. Porter is having sand
placed on his lot on New street,
and two cars of brick arrived
Wednesday, with which he will
at once begin the erection of a
one-story brick building, 4Ox75.
The lot adjoins a 7O.foot frontage
lot owned by Stephenson-Belk,
The store room now occupied
by Mr.. Porter, and the adjoining
one used by the Hasty Plumbing
Co., have been leased by the Rose
5 & 10c store from the Palmer
Hinson interests. The Rose peo-
pie will extensively remodel the
interior, throwing the two rooms
together and giving them a much
larger floor space. Mr.. Porter is
to give possession in July, and
therefore will speed the erection
of his own new building.

Opera House Sold.

T. c. Leak and H. c. Wall

the Opera House building, which
they have bought from the Bank

The two rooms on either side
of the entrance are occupied by
Miss Legg as a millinery shop,

Frank Parker, agricultural statis-
