WASHINGTON, Feb. Q. - Half
dozen or more experts discussed
tariff valuation plans nor several
hours yesterday before Republican
members of the senate finance COM
mittee, but at the finish sentiment
a nong the senators was no nearer
ystallization than before. Some
G mmitteemen thought a decision
might be reached within a few days,
but others thought it would be put
off for a week or more, until con-
sideration of specific rates in the
bill had been concluded.
The discussion, which was behind
closed doors, was said to have COW
cred the whole range Of plans sug-
gested. including that in the Fordney
bill, which was endorsed in a mem
orial adopted by National Association
/ of Manufacturers in convention here
yesterday and presented today to
the majority committeeman by j. II.
Edgerton of Nashville, Tenn, presi-
dent OF the association. The experts

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Charles Parsecki, of Two Rivers, has
been under arrest, charged with viola
ton of the prohibition law. In court
last Thursday Dist. Atty, Brady moved
a dismissal of the case without arraign-
ing the defendant. 1t appears that the
witnesses have all forgotten all they
knew about the case and rather than
risk an acquittal the prosecution dis
missed the action and will lay the mat
ter before the state prohibition officers
with a probable result that the grand
jury at Milwaukee may have methods
of refreshing the memories of the for
merly glib witnesses.
A citizen who was committed to an
institution for a few months eight
years ago by the county court as an
inebriate, and who hasn't taken drink
since until last week, got a notion to
take a wee nip and came to in jail. He
paid $40 and costs, and said the stuff
they sell now is quite a different article
of commerce from that of the days of
his former glory.

TO RESTORE TRAINS

Division Superintendent A. n. La
Comb was in the city last week and
gave assurances to officials of the
Rotary club and other business men
that trains Nos. 1913 and l24 on the
MantowocGreen Bay line, which
were discontinued during the railway
shipments strike, will be restored Nov.
27
The hearing on the matter before the
state railroad commission set for Nov.
22 will probably be continued and the
proceeding finally abandoned if the
service is restored by the company vol
unfairly.
Mr. LaComb said that the officials
at Chicago whom he persuaded to or
der the trains put back on were not
enthusiastic about the matter. They
said that Green Bay was not gaining
anything at the expense of Manitowoc
and that the equipment is badly needed
elsewhere However, the reestabish.
ment Of this service will be welcomed
by business men here who feel that tn.
present service works to the disad
vantage of this city.

CHARGED WITH CAR THEFTS

Tow brothers, Gustave Barthels,
aged "a, and Edwin Barthels, aged 27,
both of the village of Cleveland in
this county appear to be implicated in
ring of automobile thieves. Milwau-
kee detectives came here Monday and
arrested GuStave at Cleveland. Ed
ward mad disappeared, having left
home Saturday by motor ostenSihly on
hunting trip. The Milwaukee Off
GERS picked up a clew here leading
them to believe that Edwin was work
ing on farm near kewaSkum, Wis
conSin. They met him on the highway
there Tuesday and a motor chase en-
sued in which, the news reports had it,
BarthelS emptied a revolver at his pur-
Suers and was captured when bullet
from the officers punctured a tire of
his car, Both men are held at Mil
waukee.
The first connection of the BarthelS
with the thefts was learned when a
Ford sedan stolen at Milwaukee was
located here and it was found that Ed
win Barthels had traded it in for a
Chevrolet at the Behnke garage. Mr..
Behnke then sold the Ford to Edwin
Spevacek of this city without any
ground for suspicion as to the defec-
tive title. Latest reports are that Ed
win Barthels has confessed to the
theft and disposal of thirteen automo-
biles but is charged with over twenty
theftS. Gustave denies completely or
guilty knowledge.
The young men have been operating
a small repair shop at Cleveland where
it is said, the motor numbers and other
identifying marks were altered.
The affair created sensation in the
southern part of the county where the
young men have always lived and
borne a good reputation. They come
of a respected family and many ac.
quaintances were hoping that they
were the victims of unfortunate ap.
pearances, until the fight and reported
gun battle of Edwin made it look baC
for him. A half dozen cars, which IL
is claimed were involved in the Bar.
thels operations have been recovered
in this part of the state and returned
to Milwaukee

lAUDS GERMAN PIONEERS

Prof, II, r. Trumbowcr of the state
railroad commission gave an address to
the Stueben society at Saenger hall last
Thursday evening on the German pio-
necr emigration to America. He was
born and raised in the section of Penn
sylyania, settled early by German pio-
neerS and is an authority on the sub
icct In the course Of his talk, he
said.
"rhe great tide of German emigra-
tion to this country arose in the first
decade, of the eighteenth century. As
early as 1914 VIM. Penn made a trip
to Germany; the second visit, in 1871,
set in motion this mighty stream of
immigrants which continued almost
without ccasng for at least century.
The good ship Concord brought the
first German immigrants, thirteen
families, to Penns capital City of
Brothcrly Love (Philadelphia) October
q, 1858, the date celebrated by all
Germans in this country as the begin
ming of their history in the United
States. Their settlement six miles above
Philadelphia is today the twenty-sec-
ond ward of Philadelphia and bears the
original name of Germantown,
"What will make this Germantown
settlement in Philadelphia forever
momcrable in the annals Of the Amer
lean nation was its protest against ne
gro slavery The first voice raised
on this continent for individual free
| dom, irrespective of color, was that of
this small group of recently arrived
German settlers,
"There were no tories among the
| Germans; The Germans who composed
a large part of the inhabitants of
Pennsylvania says Bancroft in his his
tory, were all on the side of liberty
Washngton's bodyguard company was
largely made mp of Pennsylvania Ger
mans recruited In Burks and Lancaster
counties At the end of the war il
was found that twelve Of these had
served longer than any other American
soldier and for that reason had the
honor of escorting their beloved com
mander-in-chief to his home at Mount
Vernon,

emphasis is put upon the purely Eng

SEER POINTS AT MANITOWOC

A baby few days old was left on a
doorstep at Milwaukee last week and
was nearly dead from exposure when
found. A "mind-reader" appearing at
the Majestic theater at Milwaukee, in
response to an inquiry, said that a
Manitowoc young woman is the child's
mother. She also said that the mother
will be at Milwaukee this week to claim
her child News reports had it that
Milwaukee police are working on this
Conformation" and have asked the local
police to investigate here. aThe Mil
waukee police ought to sue for libel.
Everyone with any sense, or general
knowledge of things. knows that
vaudeville mind-reading is merely clev-
err trickery; that is, sometimes it is
clever. If there is such thing as
thought transference it does not lend
itself to public performances; and as
for telling the future, the belief in that
form Of bunk died out with belief In
"haunts" and fairies.
