term In Leavenworth. But the dowry
had been converted into dollars and
was gone.
Norris and Alexia were married soon
afterward and at the end of the war

of Morris. They moved to Chicago,
where Morris found employment with
the bank in which Vice President

wife and announced that he was suing
for divorce. He named a Minneapolis

H|NDENBURG SIDES
WITH EX-RULERS
Refuses to Order Properties
ConfisCated if Favored by
PIebiSCite.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June S.-That President
Won Hindenburg will decline to order
the confiScation of the properties of
the former German rulers should the
plebiscite Of June 20 be in favor of
such action, is indicated in a letter
which he has directed to Col. Fred
erick Won Loebell, the monarchist
leader. The seizure Of the property of
former William and the members Of
his family and OF other German rulers
would be IAN attack on the constitu-
tional foundations of the state and in
violation of the fundamental laws Of
morals and justice" declares the Pres
ident.
The royal estates and other prop
critics are valued at many millions of
marks. The question of seizing the
holdings Of the former rulers long has
been the subject of heated debates
throughout Germany. It is the con-
tention of President Won Hindenburg
that should the plebiscite result in a
victory for those favoring confiscation
one of the pillars on which the State
rests would be removed "and we
should be opening the door to a steep
and steady decline" He expresses
the hope that in the plebiscite the
people would avert this menace to
right and justice
A refusal by the President to sign
an order for cOnfiscation if it is de-
creed by the plebiscite would bring
about a crisis in political affairs and
automatically mean his retirement
from Office. 1t is likely that the letter
will precipitate heated debate in the
Reichstag. as the Socialists have an
nounced their purpose to introduce an
tntn
Government announce it's attitude on
the commission.
The presidents letter forms the sub
iect of a heated debate in the news
papers, bringing condemnation from
the organs of the left and praise from
those of the right.
The Socialist Vorwaerts declares
that the political parties hitherto nave
left Won Hindenburg outside partisan
criticism, but that If he now mixes in
partisan party politics he must expect
to be treated like any other person.
The Berliner Volkszeitung, Demo-
cratic, terms publication Of the pres
ident's private letter "a scandal or
first water" and the ,Germania, Cen
trit, doubts whether publication was
authorized by the president. The
Taegliche Rundschau, Peoples Party.
believes the printing of the letter VIII
let loose new storms.
The Lokal AnZeiger, German Ma
tionalist organ, sees in it a heavy ac-
cusation against those who have
stirred up the base instincts of the
masses" The Kreuz Zeitung, mon
archist, hopes the letter will be IAN
eye-opener for all ill-guided voters. ="

especially are grateful to the presi-
dent for his pronouncement.

James expressed the opinion that in
discriminate extension of more credit
to farmers will not help them out of
their difficulties.
Charles J. Brand of Washington,

association, reported that the fertilizer
industry, representing a capital invest
ment of $500. 900 900, has met the same
setbacks as the farmer during the past
five years, although there was some
Improvement last year.
The chief difficulty toward greater
use of fertilizer is the lack of more

it, said Mr.. Brand.

HANKOW, China, June 8.-A
volley ball match between two mis-

Christian auspices was turned into
an anti-Christian riot here yesterday
by the interference of students in
Chinese government schools. The
fighting resulted in many broken
heads and other serious injuries.
Selling as pretext the demand
that visitors to the match pay an ad-
mission fee of a few cents, the gov
ernment students attacked those of
the mission schools with bricks and
stones, driving them into mission
compounds, which We're then besieged
for several hours. The police offered
no interference.
The distribution of anti-Christian
pamphlets before the rioting is con-
sidered evidence that interference
with the match was premeditated.
