The celebration broke all records
for Chicago. Hotel and cafe pro
prietors said they never experienced
such az demonstration or profitable
evening before.
Wines and liquors OF all kinds
were displayed openly, despite warn-
ings from police and prohibition
headquarters. Only few minor
raids were conducted. and. except
for the accidental shootings, no ssri-
Gus disorders were reported.
Something new in New Years
celebration was practiced when thou
sands OF people, unable to get tables
at the better hotels and cabarets
descended upon soft drink parlors
and drug store soda fountains. Coun-
tiers and fountains were strewn with
liquor bottles, patrons ordering gin
ger ale and empty glasses. !"

mated that $1,O00,000 was spent for
dinners alone at the city's fifteen
leading cafes. This did not include

spirit. More than 1900, ,000 Berliners
celebrated either in hotels or dance
halls and the streets, including the
famous Inter den Linden, were
jamfned with joyous celebrants.
From the tiniest beer tubes to lux
ury hotels like the Adlon. with its
famous bar and noted dining salons,
there arose a riotous racket as mid
night approached. Nearly 1000
guests crowded the Adlon and were
glad to pay 40 cents a plate for
the privilege of doing It. Wine was
extra, and cost from 90 to so marks
a bottle Two years ago the same
bottles Of wine would have cost 1000
to 5000 marks. but In American
money that would have been only
a little more than 81.

Americans. who have predominated
in previous after-war celebrations in
Germany. were among the absent

sumed along with the carp and wine

erage, hotel and private dining
rooms provided bowls OF punch.
Lotteries were drawn in most
cabarets and hotels as the ~sd year
went out Prizes varied from checks
to saddle horses.
While the rich played in the bril-

sought their favorite beer restaur-

 The company came here from New York three months ago, pur- chasing a large three story brick building. Twenty-Five persons are employed at the plant.
 The watchman, who is SO years old, reported for work last night and in making his first rounds of the factory, found stranger, who had been employed yesterday, apparently looking for something. The strang- CT a few minutes later was joined by three other men, who had been hiding nearby and the watchman was overpowered and tied to chair One of the men threatened him with a knife, Mir. Gilbert reported to the police.
 The wstchman said he was car ried from room to room of the building while the men scattered something on the floor. Gilbert was then taken to the boiler rooms and placed in front of the open door of the fire box of the boiler.
 Tied Up For Hour
 The watchman said he had been tied to the chair for more than an hour before help came. It was then that 1t was discovered by persons living nearby that the upper floors of the factory were afire. Howard Helpin. going to the basement of the plant to turn off the electricity, dis covered Gilbert tied 10 the chair and carried him 10 safety.
 Flames Gutted Factory
 Fire was raging in the upper stories of the plant when the firemen arrived and the interior of the fac tory was swept by the blaze before the fire was under control
 An automobile seen standing near the factory early last night had dIs- appeared when the fire was discov- cred and 1t is believed that the four men made their escape in that ma chine.
 The state police are working on the case.
