KING BORIS DEMOCRATIC

Bulgarian Ruler Helps Men Dig
 Bricks Out of Snow ans Deliver Them. ' Sofia, March 2f.--King Boris has proved on more than one occasion that his station as ruler is not too lofty to prevent giving his people a lift, even though it require physical effort to do so. The most recent ex- ample of his readiness to help out in difficulties was aiding a group of building co-operators to retrieve a pile of building material, buried by a heavy snowstorm which tied up vir- tnally everything in the Balkans.
 The king was riding in spzGal train to Philippopolis and a few miles outside the city saw the group of men surveying the snow-covered pile. He ordered the train stopped, walked back half f kilometer and learned that the men had been engaged in delivering the brick and tile to will iages along the line.
 The peasants readily recognized their king and explaining their diffi- culty one of them said:
 We can't cart it way because of the spow and if we leave it here un- til the roads have been cleared it Nill all have been pilfered."
 Very we'll" replied the king as he picked up an armul of brick, "weIl pile to into my train and take it down the line.''
 A few days later King Boris receiv- ed at the palace A telegram from the co-operators thanking him for his sympathetic encouragement of thrift and cooperation among his people,"

STAMP COLLECTORS HAVE
 VERY LUCRATIVE TRADE
Collectors of Stamps Predict Business Will Supplant Trade in Bulky Arts Business.

New York. March 21.--stamp col
 lecting can now be listed among the i hobbies of the rich. In the opinion
 of prominent New York collectors and
 dealers, the stamp hobby bids fair to supplant fine paintings and other
 bulky works of art Tn the estimation
 of those who make collections for col
 lections' sake.
 One reason advanced for the change that is taking place is that modern living conditions do not afford space for bulky collections. Whereas d collection of valuable canvasses re- quires spacious halls and corridors. with proper lighting. a very valuable siamp collection can be carried in the vest pocket. Even the largest and most valuable collections arc con tained within few volumes which fl, Into a bookcase.
 Stamp collecting first became really international hobby. dealers here say. in the carly nineties. From 1893 10 1900 the hobby had a great following. Then 1t died down until 1912, since when the ranks of stamp enthusiasts have been steadily aug mented. Today there are in the United States alone 5t or more col leetions which are worth between sI60,000 and s200.000 each. dealers soy, while there are almost any num- Der Of collections valued from s25,000 to s75.000 each.
 The most valuable stamp in the world is said to be the British Guiana stamp now owned by Arthur Hind of Utica, N. '. He competed with the King of England for this stamp and wen. At the present time it is valued by dealers at about s3s.0o0.
 About five years ago stamp col lecting received great impetus. since when prices have advanced greatly, placing some issues entirely out of reach of any but wealthy buyers. This has driven many col lectors into the field of post cards and but prices on these too, it is said, are advancing rapidly.
 Lately, there has been a big de- mand for stamps Of the Confederate issued during the war of the rebellion. Old ramshackle on the lower East Side have produced many rare stamps of the early days of the United States.
 Collectors say that the craze has ex- tended to Europe, especially in Eng land, where there is a particular de- | mand for stamps Of the United States. Hardly a day passes in which there |

SIemp was called by Senator

called will be local managers Of the
local Western Union and Postal Te!e-

LORD OF GERMANY,
ON TRIAL TODAY.
Faces Treason Charge
with HITLER

MUNICH, Feb. 25.-General Eric
Ludendorff, one of Germany's war
lords, will be tried for treason to-
morrow, together with Adolf HITLER
and seven others.
Elaborate police precautions were
taken today to prevent possibility of
a monarchist coup. Special reiG-
forcements of state police arrived at
Munich, while the Central Govern
ment stands ready to lend any as
sistance the Bavarian authorities may
require.
The trial, which will be conducted
by Bavarian court of seven judges,
will be held at the War Academy.
Here special fire fighting apparatus
has been installed against the eventu-
atty of fire panic and police have
searched the building from roof to
cellar.
Assemblage of more than two per-
sons within three blocks of the War
Academy is to be forbidden tonight
and tomorrow.
The crime Of which Ludendorff
and HITLER were accused was of
plotting against the state. They are
charged with leading the ludicrous
beer cellar "Putsch" of November 8,
which dwindled into opera bouffe
when differences arose among the
leaders of the uprising.
The "beer patriots" as they came
to be known, swore to march on Ber-
lin. They declared they would rid
the country of Marxism, Socialists
and Jews Ihd rebuild better Water
land.
On the night of the Putsch, ex-
Dictator Won Kahr, who resigned last
Friday, was named National Admin
istrator," and Ludendorff head Of
the army.
The Central government immedi-
ately laid an embargo against Bava-
ria and lack Of unity among the
beer cellar patriots did the rest.
Ludendorff was captured after a
skirmish near one of the Munich
state buildings. He was placed un-
der protective arrest" and gave his
word not to engage in further
reasonable activities. HITLER fed
to the mountains and was captured
he was jailed, while Ludendorff was
made virtually prisoner in his own
villa.
Won Kahr, who with General Los
sow, head of the Bavarian army, re-
signed last week, is generally credit
ed with having been a party to the
Putsch that failed. He evaded respon-
sibility at the time, however, and re-
NAMED dictator Of Bavaria until Fri
day.

JURY GETS CASE
OF UPHOLSTERERS
ON TRIAL He E
Decide Labor's Rights
During Strikes

The fate of four union upholsterers
and Fred Jurish, member Of the
Painters union, tried with them on
boycott conspiracy charges, went to
the jury in Judge Wells criminal
court last night.
Michael J. McKenna and Thomas
O'Shea, business agents of Locals
ITO and Ill, and William Riordon
and Gus ]. Dahl are the four union
upholsterers. On the turning of
their cases rests the judicial prece-
dent whether organized labor hasNany
legal rights in taking action against
an employer during strike or not.
Tries to Clear Slate.
Both the state and the defense
rested their case yesterday after
noon but Assistant States Attorney
Romano earlier in the day took oc-
casion to reconsider a previous an
nouncement that the state had closed
its case by calling up Assistant
States Attorney John Sbarbaro.
Sbarbaro's job before the jury was
to clear the states attorneys office,
if he could, Of the stain that rested
on it from the defense charges that
the state had turned over its office
to representatives Of the bosses to
grill the arrested union men.
The witness admitted that he had
questioned O'Shea and McKenna in
his Office concerning the upholsterers'
strike and said both men told him
they had put up stickers in various
buildings urging building tradesmen
to ask upholsterers to show union
cards.
Denies Taylor GriIIed Men.
He said that Robert Bronson and
Dudley Taylor, attornies for the ILL
nois Employers Association, had
been present when he questioned the
men, but he denied that either Bron-
son or Taylor had asked the defend
ants any questions. Bronson had
testified Thursday that he and Taylor
had asked "a few questions of the
defendants"
After the testimony Of Sbarbaro
the state rested its case and the de-
Tense without putting in any evil
dence also rested, the defense consid-
ering that the state has failed to
make case against the defendants.

first statement for the defendants.

EVERYBODY LIES
EXCEPT DOHENY,
SAYS DOHENY
Says There Is No Oil
Scandal

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Edward
+. Doheny, lessee of California naval
fres/-vesf about whom the senatorial
investigation has resolved, dashed
back at his critics in an interview
published today in the New York
Tribune.
Playing the foes of Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty, Doheny called SEN
ator Borah and Senator Wheeler
liars, accused the democratic party
of playing cheap politics at the ex-
pense of good mems characters.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, who is leading the investiga-
ton, is trying to become president,
Doheny said. Senator Wheeler lied
when he said Daugherty was friend
Of mine," Doheny said in the inter-
view. II met him once only and
that was three years ago next May
at the Metropolitan club, with four
other members of the cabinet.
Mclean a Stranger.
GAS for Mclean | have never
seen him in my life, regardless Of
what Senator Wheeler says. He re-
marked everybody knows about
four times in his speech. That's a
good name for him-'Everybody
Knows Wheeler.
-Four years ago Borah sa;d that
had contributed $4,000 to Major
General Woods campaign fund. /
was delegate to the democratic ma
tional convention and voted more
than forty times for McAdoo at the
time, so | wired him asking him to
correct his statement. Altho the
telegram was read on the floor of
the senate he sat in his seat and
made no reply. He stands con-
victed Of lying"
Doheny decried the ousting of Sec
rotary DENLY ''who had never been
accused Of wrongdoing," and said the
democrats planned to bowl over one
member Of the cabinet after another
like nine-pins and send them from
Office discredited men.
Calls Enemies Bolsheviks.
"These Bolsheviks," Doheny said,
"are afraid Of their constituents.
They have chocolate eclair spines.
What we need in this oil affair is
some one to pin down the people who
are talking recklessly and say, who
told you this? Where did you hear it?'
II tell you there is no oil scandal.
"There never has been any oil
scandal. No one has been corrupted.

Loeb escaped death solely be

nored it. Had the youthful muir

punishment precisely as Leopold
