BERLIN, Jan. Herr Stresse-
man has refused to accept the
annual peace prize of the Wilson

impossible for him to go to New

Wilson to accept the prize, accord

The foreign office denied reports
that Herr Stresseman had refused
the prize because he charged that

M CARL DELAYS
BRIDGE WORK

Serious delay in the construction
of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
may result from the decision of

architectural and engineering sew

The contracts were made last

Col. c. o. Sheriff., director Of pub.

) Among McCarl's objections are:
That it is proposed under the
contract to allow privileges in
travelling and subsistence which
McCarl held were more generous
than could be allowed employees OF
the United States
That the contracts contemplate a
direct employment of personal SER

not an agreement or contract with

Major Grant stated the two con.
tracts in question are the two prin-
cipaI ones already granted for con-
struction of the $14 .000, 900 bridge.
Il believe that a. modification OF
the details OF the contracts objected
to by the Comptroller General, to-
gether with additional information,
will permit of an amendment or
change, which will be legal in the
opinion Of the Comptroller General, !"

EX.0FPICIALS WITNESSES
 IN ANDREWS HOUSE CASE
Will Be Summoned to Court If Building Board Decides to
 Prosecute.

Edward J. Hennessy, former building inspector, members of the commission under which he served and several ex-members of the con- mon council will be summoned to police court as witnesses in prosecu- ton of zoning law charges against Charles S. Andrews of Belvidere, provided the commission approves of this action at it's meeting next Monday night.
 Hennessy, as Inspector. issued q permit to Andrews for a two-family house on Lake Boulevard, and his commission after investigation re- ported such a type of structure had been built. Records of the common council include this statement by the commission.
 Investigation by Inspectors A. N. Rutherford, c. J. Curtin and P. J. Tormay has convinced the three of ficials that the building has been transformed into one of three hous- ing units and is so tenanted. A change in the mode of occupancy of a building so as to bring it beyond the privileges of the zone in which it is located is regarded a violation of the zone law.

LEAVES SCREW CORP. AFTER LONG SERVICE
John Malone Decides to Rest at End of
 B Years

John Malone of 214 Main street whose term of years as an employe of the Corbin Screw corporation is greater than the age of the Ameri- can Hardware corporation and whose loyalty to his concern has won him the admiration of his en- ployers, has retired after S5 years service with the company.
 Since MT. Malone entered the en- ploy of the concern in July, 1891, when the plant was then part of the Russell & Erwin organization, he has proven himself capable work man.
 MT. Malone said the factory has almost tripled in size since he joined its staff of employees. In 1891 none of the buildings which now stand on the eastern side of High street were built. There were a few on the western side, but not nearly as many as that which takes up an entire block at the present time.

Wall Street Bankers Guarantee Enormous Credit For Automo- bile and Tire Manu- lecturers.
Plan, It Is Believed, Will Eliminate Violent Fluc- tuations in Commodity and Maintain Steady Rate.

New York. Dec. ] R-A s4o.o0o.- GOO credit guaranteed by group of leading tire and automobile manu- lecturers has been arranged through Wall street bankers, for the purpose of stabilizing the price of crude rub Der, 1t was learned today.
 While full details of the credit have not been divulged. 1t Is under stood that the manufacturers in- volved will pool their purchases of rubber through a central organiza- ton, probably the General Rubber company. an importing subsidiary Of the U. s. Rubber Co.
 It Is believed that the plan will eliminate the violent fluctuations in the commodity and maintain prices at such levels that an additional ten per cent restriction in production under the British Stevenson act, will not be necessary on February =.
 In order to prevent further restriction in British controlled pro- duction, 1t Is believed that the price would have to be stabilized around 42 cents pound. as against the current price of about 36 cents. It is estimated that the purchasing power of the pool will cover more than 50,000 tons of crude rubber.
 Those Firms Mentioned
 The tire manufacturers mentioned in connection with the pool are tsc U. s. Rubber Company, B. F. Good rich. Goodyear, Firestone and Fisk. Motor car companies reported to be interested include General Motors. studebaker. Willys Overland, Dodge, Packard and a few others.
