SENTIMENT FOR
 ENFORCEMENT
 OF PROHIBITION

Washington, Dec. 19.-General en- couragement as to the prospects Of meeting present prohibition enforce nent problems through closer coop- erat1on between the federal and state authorities and an earnest appeal for reverence of the law was felt today by administration officials as a re suit of President Harding'S confer ence on the subject with state gover- uors.
 Among the 1 4 state executives wnc discussed the subject informally with the President and administration of ficials directly interested at a White House luncheon conference yesterday there appeared to be ga almost un- animous opinion that the way to i'm provement in the enforcement Sltua- ton lay not in relaxation of the pres ent enforcement statue, but rutner In more rigid execution of its terms. More severe fines and prison sen tences for violations, 1t was said to have been held. would assist probi- bition officials that their work. while more careful selection of prohibition personnel and education of the pub- lie to the necessity of law reverence were among other 'informaP' sug- gestions made.
 In statement after the confer ence, Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said in many instances the reports of the governors were of "an encouraging nature" Indications to- day were that another conference of governors might be called early IT the new year for a more thorough discussion of the subject.

CUE STARS IN
 MATCHES TODAY AT THACKWRAyS

Edouard Horemans and Roger Cont, the two billiard stars who will play 300 point baikline billiard ex hibition at Joe Thackwray's National Billiard. parlors this afternoon and to night, arrived in Bridgeport from New Haven at II o'clock.
 The duo appeared at the Colonial Academy in New Haven last night. Their wonderful playing stunned the large audience and the players were accorded a big ovation. HOremans displayed last night in his fancy shot exhibition that he is one of the best ever known, and some expressed the opinion that he is the master even of Ihe famous Charley Peterson in fancy shot playing.
 COnti Takes Both
 Cont won both the afternoon and evening matches. In the afternoon he defeated the Belgian by a score of 300 points to 13O. His average was 27. In the evening the French man pulled in front with a score of 300 to 250. Conti's average was 50.
 Cont is enroute to Chicago where he will play Jake Schaefer in a 1900 point match to determine which of the two players plays Willie Hoppe, crown. The match will be a three day affair. They will play blocks uf 800 points on January g. 10 and II.
 A large crowd is expected to wit ness. both the afternoon and evening performances at the National Billiard parlOrS on Broad street today. The afternoon match will start at 3:3O o'clock while in the evening they will commence to play at S:3O o'clock.

SUDDEN FALL
 OF DOLLAR BIG BERLIN SURPRISE

London, Dec 19.-Berlin des- patches printed here today assert that the sudden fall of the dollar to ap- proximately five thousand marks fol- lowing rumors of an American loan, had strange and startling results in Germany last week end. The writers said that the whole country was be- wildered and that everybody's calcu- lations, long adjusted to holding the dollar at something like 5000 marks were completely upset.
 The people to whom every rise in prices has been represented as due to the rise in the dollar, logically ex- pressed that it's fall would be inn 7nediately followed by a drop in the cost of living and on this assump- ton thousands of persons thronged in the hopes of indulging in pur- chases hitherto beyond their mea ms. It was silver Sunday the last be- fore Christmas on which the police shoppers were confident that prices would be way down. To their dis appointment, however. the merchan- dies they had longed for was as high as ever and consequently they bought little.
 The tradesmen, taking notice of the situation, on Monday marked their goods down 20 per cent. But 1t was too late. The people. half expect ant that a further rise of the mark would bring another price cut, kept their purse strings tight and the merchants now have visions of large Christmas stocks remaining on their hands
 Another striking effect of the marks depreciation is seen in the Tact that British coal is cheaper today ln German coast towns than is Ger man coal, and it is feared that if the marx improvement is maintain ed the demand for British fuel will Increase and the German coal will become unsaleable. The steel trade also show the effect, of the activity in the exchange
 Despatches say that under the cir cunstances the manufacturers anc trao oesmen welcomed yesterdays news that the dollar had risen again.

 Jakie May, Vernon pitcher who may be sold to the New York Tanks led the league hurlers with a percen- tage of 795 and with an earned run average of 1.S4 per game against him.

by large portion of the Berlin nobility.
Another candidate is DR.. Won Hieber,
former President OF the new State OF
Wuerttemberg, which for so many years
was one Of the principal Kingdoms in the
German Empire. DR.. Won Hieber was a
most successful republican President of the
former kingdom. He was not dlslked by
the royalsts nor has he drawn upon him
self very heavy fire from the Socialists
and Democrats.
He declares himself to be thoroughly re-
publican, and promises If elected, an adj
ministration more progressive and quite as
much for the people" as that of Herr
Ebert has been. DR.. Won Hieber's principal
strength Is said to lie in south Germany.

Gelmanys Four Principal Presidential Candidates

IN ERHAPS one of the most interesting
Presidential elections the world has
ever witnessed is soon to be held In
Germany. In many respects the election
at which will be chosen the successor I'd
President Ebert will be an indication OF
the solidness of the foundation of the Ger
man republic. Also it will make more
definite the prospect of the gradual growth
of the republican institutions which have
grown in Central Europe out of the condi-
tions following the war.
II is interesting in view of this to con.
slider the four outstanding candidates
There has not as yet been developed a
party basis in the political structure of
the German federation. There are not. as
in England. Liberal and Conservative
faction dividing the whole voting public.
Nor is there, as in America, Democratic
and Republican party.
Instead there are number of factions
and each faction is headed by its most
prominent leader, and when it chooses
from among these the citizenship will have
indicated just what 1t thinks Of republic
for Germany.
Herr Ebert wants to be reelected. He
has been the strong man Of the republic
since the first stable Government was or
ganized after the armistice and has sue
ceeded in holding on through the most
treacherous crises. President Ebert. as is
well known, was something OF boss
saddlemaker at the time he was chosen
to take the place Of the former Emperor
He had been graduated beyond the work
mans bench, but still conducted his har-
ness store, and since he has been President
The New York herald., 1922-04-23

he has lived on the same plane that he
occupied when he was just small Berlin
merchant.
One Of his opponents at the polls will
be Admiral Won Scheer, who was one of
the former Kaiser's marine chiefs. Ad.
miral vdn scheer is thought to repre-
sent the royalist faction, and is said to
be constantly working for the return of
the Hohenzollerns. However, he processes
with convincing show of sincerity,
strong dempcratic belief. He seems to be
persuaded that a democracy is the best gov
ernment for Germany, although he has
been known\ to say in private that he be.
lieyed a king or emperor would be far
better exponent Of democracy than presi.
dent. Admiral Won Scheer is. OF course,

miles from his home and his daughter had
but one pair of shoes, which required deli
cate care for their preservation, she could
not conveniently or comfortably walk the
three miles on rainy days. And he ex
planned that it was only on rainy days
that his daughter did not faithfully attend
to her educational advancement
Upon this explanation the magistrate
asked Mr.. Tuler what might be his address,
He was somewhat provoked at the confu
sion of Mr.. Tuler in attempting to answer
this question offhand, and brought out from
the delinquent father that the Tuler family,
never having had occasion to use visiting
cards, had never given the subject of their
proper address any serious consideration
you see, m'lord," Mr.. Tuler explained
I'VE amt properly, as you might say, got
regular address. We live where the rail
road company ditched their car, and there
being no street or number anywheres near,
all 1 can say is that we live on the railroad
tracks three miles from town"
