APPEAL TO PRUSSIA TOPUNISH FAMILY {Citizens of “Imperial Pots- dam” Seek Relief From Von Kaehne “Terrors.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, February 20.—The plain citizens of “imperial Potsdam” and the peasants and-€ivilians of ten ad- jacent villages have passed a resolu- tion appealing to the 'Prussian gov- ernment to disarm and to punish the von Kaehne family, lords of the estate of Petzow - on - Schwielowsee, near Totsdam, as “barbaric survivors of the middle ages.” The resolution urges that proceed- tngs be instituted against the city at- torney of Potsdam and other officials who have permitted the “old junker and his young son, Capt. Carl, as well as a daughter. Migpon, to terrorize the neighborhood with the free use of firearms_since 1913. The appellants ask that the two children, both of whom are of age, be tzken in charge by the state and “properly educated. The von Kaehnes, who claim that they are forced to defend themselves against wood thieves and poache are reported to have shot and serious- | 1y injured four men and to have fired from ambush on other persons passing in automobiles. The body of a sixteen- year-old boy is declared to have been discovered on the estate some time ago. Twice Arraigned in Court. The elder von Kaehne is said twice to have been in court. Once he was fined 10,000 marks. Mignon admitted at the trial having used a rifle against prowlers. The last shooting on the estate occurred February 13. The man shot was declared to hive been stealing wood. The people were aroused over the alleged brutality of Carl, who is alleged to have left his victim bleeding in the snow with his eight-year-old son. In radical quarters the population He is referred to as a robber knight. Some of the newspapers declare that von Kaehne's family were originally farmers. They built up a fortune be- . tween the years 1623 and 1787 and is being urged to lynch von Kachne. . Frederick William IV ennobled them in 1840. . Son “Quick on Trigger.” Citizens state that the Petzow es- tate is virtually an arsenal. Men representing the ultra conservation- ists who have been permitted to visit 1he place, verify this statement. They THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY, AT ST. DENIS WHERE ROYALTY ONCE HELD FORT, BY WILLIAM E, NASH. Special Correspondence of The Star and Chicago Daily News. PARIS, February 15.—1In the shadow of the cathedral of St. Denis, intimate- ly connected with memories of French royalty, the workingmen, the masses, now hold sway. Inside the great bronze doors le the tombs of St.'Louls, Henry of Navarre, Louis XIV and all the mon- archs of France from 638 to 1828. Out- side, on the Place Jean Jaures, named after a great socialist leader, stands a popular university (“universite popu- laire”), dedicated to the educatign of, the workingman. The first landmark | seems to embody the glory of France that is.past, the second the glory that 1s to come. It must not be supposed that the term ‘“popular university” has refer- ence to a group of majestic buildings like those of the Sorbonne. Far from it! It signifies simply an abstract idea. now under one roof, now unler another, namely the desirability of putting within the reach of, the poor man the best advantages of modern education..

They all admit that the son. Carl, is “very quick on the trigger and uses his army revolver on slight provocation.” In view of these statements. per- sons addressing public meetings have urged that the authorities proclaim the von Kachnes “fair game” that any one may shoot on sight. RUSS MUST IMIPORT CLOTHES THIS YEAR Téxtile Industries Are in Well Nigh Hopeless Con- dition. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, February 9.—If the Rus- sian people are to continue to be clothed. important imports of cotton and ‘woolen cloths will be necessary this year. Russia’s cotton and woolen textile “industries are in a well pigh hopeless condition, both from .the point of view of raw materials and the possibility of factory production. The prospect for flax, hemip and silk are somewhat better. In the warehouses of the govern- ment, in the public markets and the retail stores there is to be found a limited amount of cloths now, but at high prices. A little silk is available at $1.50 to $3 a yard. woolen goods at $3 to $10 a vard and little linen at $3 to $5. These prices are increas- ing rapidly. To meet this situation the economic council has decided to retain a government monopoly of raw cotton. Past and continuing financial, political, social and labor conditions contribute to this situation. ‘Wool Less High. The loss of sheep growing fine wool is estimated to be -high. Out of a tofal of 5,000,000 of such sheep, only 115,000 are said to remain. Before the general war, Russia had upward of 80,000,000 =heep bearing coarse wool. Figures to show their consumption for-food are not availuble. The cotton production in Turkestan, where Russia formerly obtained three-fourths of her raw supply, has fallen 70 per cent. Before the war Russia stood fourth among nations as a cloth manufac- turer, and manufactured five-sixths of all the cloths here people wore. The present crippling of her clotn factories comes partly from the fact that she has lost Poland and the Bal- tie: provinces, where were two of her three great factory centers. The third | ‘was in Moscow, especially for coarse cloths such as that used by her army. Cotton Situation. The cotton cloth produced in 1920 was about 33,000,000 pounds and in the first half of 1921, about 25,000,000 poéunds. In 1916 Russia’s cotton «<loth amounted (o about 70,000,000 pounds. The cottgn cloth manufac- turers for this year's program fore- cast the weaving of about 10,000,000 pounds of raw cotton. This estimate icvolves obtaining raw cotton from Turkestan and a little from the Caucasus; but it is stated that the irrigation system of Turkestan's cot- tom: fields has been ruined and a num- ber of cotton-cleaning factories there have been demolished. Also there is a shortage of cotton seed. S Nozin, chairman of the cotton com- mittee, has informed the supreme ecopomic council that only one-third of ‘the normal acreage in the Ferg- hana district of Turkestan was sewn last year and that the yield was ¥about 20,000,000 pounds of raw cotton, as compared to a pre-war production of 60,000,000 pounds in both Turkes- tam and the Causasus. The soviet ‘was able to obtain only about 8,000,- 000 pounds of the Turkestan crop, and hag paid for only about one-fourth of it. -1t is proposed this year to double last year's acreage of cotton in Turk- estan, but the cotton committee has only 1,600,000 gold rubles of the 6,580,000 rubles necessary to pay for the crep.
