was a tie until the ninth inning Of
the conflict, when one of the prin-
cipals made slip, only slight one,
but it was evidently what the Judge
had been after, for in pursuing his
line of questioning he soon was able
to determine upon who was the
guilty party. Twenty dollars was
the amount of the fine.

and If all of the them had been heard,
1t would have clogged the wheels OF
Justice for the rest of the week. The
Judge selected two or three on each
side and proceeded to sift the matter
with a swiftness that was indeed
surprising. His decision appeared to
satigfy both sides.
The next person to face the bar
of justice was, judging from his ap-
pearance, a stranger not only to the
city, but to city ways. He had been
buncoed-the old story of too much
faith reposed in strangers-but the
headquarters officers had been able
to round up the men he claimed rob-
bed him, and from the look In. his
eye it was rather a good thing that
he was impressed by his surround
ings, for had he been in his native
heath some one would have become
acquainted with the knuckles of a
hand that gave evidence of great
strength. This case was disposed Of
in a jiffy. for all judges have the ut
most contempt for the class of
crooks that prey on the innocent
stranger, and while they have no
mercy on any class of crooks, they
are apt to soak the bunco artists
much harder for trimming a So
called rube, probably going on the
theory that all Of us city folks have
read about the fim-flam games often
enough to be on our guard.

LONG PARLIAMENTARY CRISIS IN
GERMANY ENDS IN THREE
PARTY COMPROMISE
CHANCELLOR IS NAMED
CABINET FORMED OF MINORITY
COALITIONS SUCCEEDS STRES-
EMANN GOVERNMENT

Berlin.-rhc seyen-day parliament.
AIRY crisis, which was chiefly devoted
TO interparty chickering's and barter
ings and an abortive attempt definite
ly TO do away with Socialistic influ-
ence in national politics through the
creation of bourgeois bloc, termin-
ated in n three-party compromise, by
virtue of which II minority coalition,
comprising members Of the Clerical,
the German Peoples and the Demo-
cratic parties, will succeed the deposed
Stresemann government, which was
constituted with the same component
parts. DIR. Wilhelm Marx, the Clerical
leader, will head the new cabinet as
chancellor while the other portfolios
will be held by men who were in the
last government.
As at present constituted, the gov
ernment will be:
Chancellor-Dr William Marx.
Minister of the Interior-Dr. Jarres.
Minister of Defense-Dr. otto Cess
Ter.
Minister of FOOd-Dr. Hans Luther.
Minister of POsts-Dr. Anton Hoefle.
Minister Without Portfolio-Rudolph
Geser.
DIR, Stresemann is reported to have
accepted the post Of foreign minister.
Aside from being a pronounced min
coalition is anything but firmly CO.
ordinated three-party bloc, within its
own ranks, and it also will be called
upon to assimilate much of the ami
mostly and partisan acerbities which 1t
inherts from the seven-day crisis, both
with respect to the antagonism wait
ing 1t from the German Nationalists, as
well ms the yet wholly problematical
attitude of the United Socialists.
Altho DR.. Marx announced that he
would select his cabinet members ir-
respective of their party allegiance, he
nevertheless heads an outspoken
partisan ministry, which seemingly
Jnce again is wholly dependent n,,on
the charity of the Social Democrats.
To this extent the present crisis ran
true to traditional form, altho pre-
vious parliamentary ructions rarely
consumed an entire week In the proc
ess of their liquidation. President
Ebert used up four chancellor candl-
dates in his efforts to construct a
party lineup which would constitute
Il workable coalition, and the situa-
ton reached state of Qualification
only after DR.. Marx was sent out rs
Il bellwether.
President Ebert preferred to risk
another experiment in the nature of a
minority government as an alterna-
tive to disSolying the reichstag, the
latter eXprdient being viewed in all
government circles as doubtful ven
tude, in the face Of the uncertain at
titude of the occupying powers toward
national elections in the occupied
areas and also because of the visible
growth of a popular movement toward
the right.
DIR. Marx, Germany's seventeenth
chancellor comes from Cologne. lie
is a jurist and long has been active
in clerical party politics. He has
served in the Prussian diet and has
been a member of the reichstag for
twelve years. He was born Jan. 10,
1868, and is national head of the Cath
Ollie school organization in Germany.
