The difference between the value of the of the 600 tons delivered and the 1, 000 tons paid for—amounting to about $9,000—was “split” between the parties implicated in the transaction. The of- ficers of the *ship. in addition to the split, also took the usual ‘percentage” for sale.

Individual laboring men nside thé union” or sympa- thigers, the newspaper declared, were re- sponsible for the explosion as a reprisal against “Brindell workers” employed by Voik. Much of Volk's statement to the district orney was devoted to what he said was his own ‘theory” of the explosion, “that t was done to hurt or frighten some of my men” and to statements ali-ged to have been made by Pymond Clark, a foremwan for Yeix, that a man reported to hiz. :mmediately after the explosion, that it was his horse that had- been killed. Clark, the newspaper asserted, was the victim of an attempted assassin- ation within a month after the explo- sion. The joint legislative committees investi- gatiofig the alleged “building trust” also turied briefly to the explosion when Samuel Untermyer. chief counsel, quess tioied Zaranko. The union er de- clafed his hourgwreckers do not use dymamite but “usc the crowbar and rope” that the excavators do not come on the property until his men get through. The excavators, he said, use dynamite. Volk told the district attorney that his “theory™ that the explosion was caus od by some Individual “who wanted tol gfeate an impression on the inception of the strike which was called by the Zaran- %o union.” He said he understood there was publication of a notice to strike on Wednesday. the day before the explosion.

Austria’s formal application for admis- sion to the league of nations, signed by Herr Mayer minister of foreign affairs, was received by the secretariat of the league this morning. Atteniion is called i nthe application to the fact that Aus- tria was given assurance when she sign- ed the treaty of St. Germain that she would be admitted to the leagye at the proper time, and it says the proper time has come. 'Austria, it explains, being| ready to fulfill all her international en- gagements, thifks she ought to belong to the family of nations. The secretariat has received no inti- mation that Germany will apply for ad- mission. It appears that neutral coun- tries which announced they would consi-| der the necessiyt of retiring from the league if Germany Were not admitted, hesitate to tal e the responsibility of pro- posing her election in the ebsence of any steps on the part of Germany. By some interested persons here it is be- lieved the chances nwv are that Ger- many must apply for admission herself or the question’ will not come up, though certain circles hold that lord Robert Cecll is likely to propose her election. Some of the delegates who have ar- rived here for the meeting of the league assembly decline to be put in the posi- tion of oeffring Germdny membershin, which they believe she might or might not accept. “DUMMY” ACCOUNTS FIGURE IN THE TRIAL OF DR.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY PRESIDENT WILSON Washington, Nov. 12.—President Wil- son’ issued lus Thanksgiving proclamation tonight, saying that “in plenty, security and peace, our virtoous and self-reliant Deople face the future,” and setting aside ‘hursday, Nov. 25, for the usual observ- ance. The text follows: “The season approaches Wwhen it be- hooves us to turn from the distractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contemplate the mercies whicl have been vouchsafed us, and render heartfelt and unfeigned thanks unto God for his manifold goodness. “This is an old observance of the Amer- ican people, deeply imbedded in our thought and habit. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence. “We have abundant cause for thanks- giving. The Tesions of the war are rapid- Iy healing. The great army of free men, which America sent to the defense of lib- erty, returning to the grateful embrace cf the nation has resumed the useful pur- suits of peace, as simply and as promptly as it rushed to arms in obedience to the country’s call. The equal justice of our laws has received steady vindication in the support of a law-abiding people against various and sinister attacks, which have reflected only the baser agita- tions of war, npw happily passing. “In plenty, security and peace, our vir- tuous and self-reliant people face the fu- May the ture, its duties and its opponents. we have vision to discern our duties strength, both of hand and resolve, to tinguish them, and the soundness of heart to realize that the truest opportunities are those of service. “In a spirit, then of devotion and etew- ardship, we should give thanks in our hearts and dedicate ourselves to the ser- vice of God's merciful and loving pur- poses to his children. “Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, presi- dent of the United States of America, dn hereby designate Thursday, the 25th of November next, as a day of thank: ing and prayer, and I call upon my cout trymen to cease from their ordinar tasks and avocations upon that day, giv- ing it up to the remembrance of God and blessings and their dutiful.and grato ful acknowledgment.” GOVERNOR HOLCOMB'S THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION Hartford, Conn., Nov. 12—Governci Holcomb tonizht issued his Thanksg day proclamation,, designating Nov. Thanksgiving day, It follows: “From the earliest days of this com- monywealth, its governors called upon its people on one day in the fall season to join in giving thanks to God for the gifis which the year has brought. And 0a this tercentennial anniversary of the landing | of the Pilerims we have espeical reason to_recognize Divine guidance in our na- tional life. If it i for material wealth that we are to offer these thanks, never has there been o time when we ought o find a readier expression, for never was there a people more dowered with riches, ; less cursed with poverty and its ills. “But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that too often material prosperity deadens the spirit, and the mad hurry to win and spend which it engenders too often means no space to lurn one's thoughts to the great realities of life, that lie beyond the scope of commerce, its successes, its fallures—hid alimost too | deep for words. True thankfulness is not a lip service: it is not a gloatiag over comforts won and luxuries enjoyed. It is a humble recognition of our undeserving, shot through with a warming sense of | the goodness of God unto us; it looks thoughts, yet it looks out to see if it may not bring to others a fair content. Nc gift comes of God which does not stir the | heart with something of the spirit fo God. ‘or the last time that it can fall to | my lot to perform this office, 1 designate Thursday, Nov. 25, as our y(g !y day of thanksgiving, and I would that then. as never before, each one of us, quickened in our appreciation of all those things which have shed brightness upon our days and filled our nights with peace, might truly resolve to use these, our riches, for the glory of God, who gave them.’ HARDING TO DELIVER AN ADDRESS IN NEW ORLEANS Point Isabel, Texas, Nov. 12.—(By The A P.)—President-elect Harding, whose outing at Point Isabel will end next Wed- nesday, has agreed to deliver an address in New Orleans on tho following day, just before he sails for his voyage to Panama. He will speak at a luncheon of the New Orleans chamber of Com- merce and is expected to discuss in par- ticular the economic pegsibilities and re- quirements of the new south and the need for a national industrial policy unin- Auenced by sectional interests. On Tuesday Mr. Harding is to go to Brownsville to exchange greeting witn Governor Hobby of Texas and he may gpend the night there to avoid an early morning motor ride to catch the train at 10 2. m. the next morning. It is consid- erea more likely, howeyer, that he will come back here for the night. Most of today the president-elect de- voted to_golf, motoring the twenty miles to the Brownsville links through a cold, damp northern that had broken up his tarpon fishing off Point Isabel Despite the disagreeable weather he tramped over the muddy course for eighteen holes. FAILED TO HAVE BRINES IDENTIFIED IN COURT Philadelphia, Nov. 12—An attempt by the prosecution to have William P. Brines, the University of Pennsylvania| student charged with the Killing of El-| mer C. Drewes, Dartmouth senior, iden: tified by two New York men, failed to- | day after Brines had been brought into court from prison. A deadlock was reached when the d trict attorney refused to produce wit- nesses to look at Brines in the presence | of his attorney, who would not allow Brines to be seen except in his presence, The district attorney criticized Brines' counsel for having ordered the prison authorities to_let no one see the prisoner except himself. Judge Finletter rebuked Brines’ attorneys for giving instructions the prison authorities, but upheld him| his right to be present at all times when the prosecution Was bringing wit. nesses against the prisoner to see him.| ARREST IN NEW HAVEN ON CHARGE OF COUNTERFEITING New Haven, Conn., Nov.

ANOTHER DROP REGISTERED IN PRICES OF ALL CEREALS Chicago, Nov. 12. — Notwithstanding| the severity with which grain prices have been slashed during the past fort- night, new cuts were witnessed today, and quotations for all cereals dropped lower than at any time within the last four years. The fresh downturns today were notable chiefly by the fact that they came after a week’s decline of more than 20 cents a bushel in wheat and of about ten cents the week before. Today's setback in wheat ranged from 2 3- to 5 cents, with December delivery closing at! $1.76 to $1.77 1-2, Opinion on 'change today was practi- cally unanimous that the unfavorable financial outlook has had a big share in Bandts Get in Cash and Boids $100,000 From First Naticnal Bark of Kingston, Chio — Posses| Unable to Find Trace of! the Men.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND AGREE ON GERMAN REPARATIONS Paris, Nov. 12.—A definite agreement concerning the procedure to be foilowed with regard to the reparations due by Germany was reached today betewen the French and British governments. The agreement calls for a meeting at Brussels of allied technical experts with the Germ: ¢ und also a meeting of the allied prem...s at Geneva in the first half of February to discuss the total amount due and Germany's capacity for pay- ment.

GOVERNOR-ELECT LAKE HAS SELECTED SECRETARY e Hartford, Conny Nov. 12.—Governor- elevt Everett J. Lake has appointed R. D. Reynolds, 2. lawyer of this city, to be his executive secretary.

The statement of the federal prohibition direc- tor of Ohio, however, that he had re- ceived instructions from Mr. Kramer to prevent sales of malt and hops except to bakers and to confectioners has not been denied by the internal revenue bureau, al- though it is understood that Commission- er Williams S not yet approved these specific orders.

The commissioner eited provisions of the law which state specifically that arti- cles and contrivances “intended” to be used in the manufacture of liquors cannot | be sold except under permit. 1t was in- | dicated that prohibition officials believed ! they could restrict the sale of malt and | hops under these provisions. Frequent proof has come to prohibition headquarters of the rupid spread of home brewing among all communities. Officialn have said it was becoming the best method of circumvention of the dry law but have felt powerless to check it. The attempt now to control home brewing by restricting the sale of articles to be used | in the home manufacture of intoxicant. was regarded as the most extreme step yet taken by enforcement officials.
