PARIS RESENTS ACCUSATION OF IMMORALITY Newspapers Ridicule Plea of Pastor for Funds to Save , Students. SCORE AMERICAN BOYS PARIS, Jan. 23 Most of the Parts newspapers treated with rare good humor the cabled news that the Rev. Stanley Fisher, assistant pastor of the American Uhurch of Paris, had declared In the I'nlted States that Paris was an city, and that funds were needed to preserve American students here from impure lives. But a writer In Le Petit Bleu came hack at the American clergyman very hard. “We should thank- the Rev. Stanley Fisher for his good opinion aj)d for the liberty with which he expresses it,” says Le Petit Bleu” ironically. "Paris, the immoral city! That is the grand refrain from the other side of the Atlantic. Let us see then if Berlin, London, Naples or even New York are not as well fixed for immorality! “The tender fiancees of America tremble for their dears who are In France. They are going to give their dollars to erect a beautiful church in Paris, and the Rev. Stanley Fisher will be quite content. We also, we assure you. The dollars which will be spent in Paris will help lower the rate of exchange. SAYS AMERICANS SrOIL GIRLS. “But truly do we merit and are we going to profit by such a reputation. It is very nice to say that the lambs of Paris have debauched the wolves of Imerica, and to pretend that the lambs aave commenced it all. But perhaps it was the wolves who were the black ones and the white lambs were only to blame A because they allowed themselves to fall too easily. “Go into the workshops of the dressmakers and everywhere where the little Parislennea used to earn their living with their ten fingers and you will hear everywhere the same lamentations. “ ‘We have no more workkers since the Americans came here,’ they cry. “Yes, the Americans, the happy, gooa boys who amused themselves so well in Paris in offering silk stockings, fine shoe, fine dinners to all who accepted their company. And it was not only those who gave their life blood in the Champagne or in the Lorraine for the great cause, who amused themselves with reason during their leaves from the front, but above all the boys of the rear, employed In innumerable services valuable to the combatants. “They are the ones who did more to cause Paris to throw off restraint during two years than all the others who had fascinated the little heads without brains in a period of ten years. If we are going to erect a monument to souls lost in perdition, It Is uot to the American students in Paris that it should be consecrated, but to the young, foolish girls, who, without occupying themselves with the dark future, saw only {he present under the beautiful color of khaki. “Recall the happy bands which filled the sidewalks to the end of the montn of August: Smooth-shaven faces under the little calot 1 American overseas cap) and prettty Parisian faces. Parts was truly a city ultra-immoral, but it was I lie Americans who furnished the figures and then brought on the dance. tVhai was Rev. Stanley Flatter doing all that while?” “When he was yitb us he should have called the military police and It shout.l have been his good business to protect his countrymen from vice. But at the same time he should have rendered services to the poor giddy girls who left their workshops to run about on the arms of the Wilsonian warriors. THOUGHT WAR EFFACED LEGEND. “We thought the war had effaced the legend that upon debarking In France one arrived in a bad place. Rev. Stanley Fisher proves that the war has done nothing. The fault Is in the frankness of our morals which do not cover hypocritically some facts concerning one's private life, whereas on the other side o* the Atlantic one conceals them to make them worse. We take publicly drinks containing a small amount of alcohol on \ the sidewalks of our cases, whereas the \ Yankees, before America was dry. en- \ joyed their violent cocktails iu bars care \ fully hidden from sight. ( ' “Now, our friends on the other side are’ only water and are persuaded that the i little giddy girls of France are the (laughters o. the devil. “But the 10,000 American students who, according to the reverend himself, attend the schools of Paris, are certainly not ■ of this opinion.”

BARE GOODRICH AS FORMER HEAD (Continued From Page One.) Taylor, all of whom were formerly hhsoeiated with Gov. Goodrich in the coal business. Mr. Lowish was n director of the Globe Mining Company, which used prisoners to operate its stripper mine in Greene county. The directors of the Consumers company, besides the governor’s brother, were ,T. T. Moorman, W. H. Tobin and Thomas F. English. The directors of the Caiora Coal Company when James P. Goodrich was president, are given In the report as ,T. It. Connelly, Leo M. Rappaport and August M. Kuhn. Clarence 11. Jones Is given as vice president and Harry M. Stout as sec-retary-treasurer. In the 1010 report Mr. Jones is given ms president, Martha G. Jones as vise president and Harry M. Stout as secretary-treasurer. The Frankfort company, according to the report of the state board of accounts, simply passed along to the state increased prices charged by the company ts which Gov. Goodrich formerly was president. The report of the company’,-, costs covers a period from Jan. 1, 1919 to Nov. 30, 1919. The report shows that during this period the labor costs were $175,061.54 and that 110,307.6 tons of coal were mined. The average costa per ton is given a c $1.5939. AVERAGE ANNl’Ali lIGI RES GIVEN. Tn order to analyze these costs the examiners determined that the mine had been idle 148 days during the eleven months. They found that the average annual production for the seven years since ISI3 was 151,168 tons and that the average operation was 182.8 days a year. With the figures in view the examiners say: “The labor costs figured by the company includes the month of March when the mine was not operating on account of no market for coal; also the month of November when the strike was on and there was no production, except 200 tonß of boiler coal mined by the company men. “The company also includes in the labor cost salaries paid to superintendents and surveyors, which we huve reason to believe were not affected by the 14 per cent increase. They also include the salaries of a bookkeeper and a clerk at the mine office, which items should, no doubt, be rejected for the same reason." , For the reasons given in their statement, the examiners deduct $12,149.16 from the total labor cost which reduces the average cost per ton to $1.4863. The examiners also report that if the mine had operated an average number of days the costs would be lower. The examiners statd that heavy production did not correspondingly Increase the total cost of labor.

Gossip Routs Man When Family Is Steeped in Tragedy

ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Jan. 22.—From gossip, which for nearly four years has hounded him, Oscar D. McDaniel fled, months ago. With his wife and two children this man vanished utterly. Detectives nowreport that he has been traced to South America. It was in 1916 that the first Mrs: McDaniel was found murdered in her home. McDaniel, then prosecuting attorney of Buchanan county, was pitied by the entire community—until the gossip began. A warrant was issued for McDaniel, and he was tried on the charge of killing his wife. He .-was acquitted. Gossip had associated his name for some time with that of Mrs. Dagmar Krucker. Her husband killed her, then turned the gun on himself and died. He married the daughter of C. A. Cook, who had been one of the* principal witnesses for the defense in his trial. The bride and groom, with two chiD dren by the former marriage, went to live in the McDaniel home, where the first Mrs. McDaniel had beer slain. One night the dwelling burned, and McDaniel lowered his wife and children from an upper window, saving their lives by a narrow margin. Then the McDaniel children became old enough to feel the cruelty of the boys and girls. One day they were absent from school. It is said that McDaniel sold personal property for about $25,009 and left owing one bank SB,OOO and numerous- tradesmen various amounts.

WAR DECLARED ON WORTHLESS STOCK SELLERS The Indianapolis stock exchange has declared war on the “blue sky” vulture. H. Foster Clippinger, newly elected president of the exchange, today declared that “from now on the promoter of blue sky Is doomed to travel a hard road in Indianapolis.” Mr. Clippinger said the new organization of bond men known as the Indianapolis Bond Men's club has assured the stock exchange it will co-operate in any way within its power to rid the city of these parasites that grow fat on the savings of the workingman and the Better Business Bureau is going to renew its vigilance to the end that the sale of fraudulent stocks fa tljis city will be a precarious undertaking.

SOMETHING MIST BE DONE AT ONCE. “Matters have reached such a state that we have got to do something. Every day someone is coming into my office telling me to look up some stock or other that is absolutely worthless,” Mr. Cllppinger told the board of governors of the stock exchange. They had all had similar experiences with a monotonous regularity and their instructions to Mr. Clipplngcr were to “go the limit." The first step in an active campaign undertaken by the stock exchange is to issue a public invitation through the columns of the daily papers for anyone who thinks they have been defrauded out of any money or lAberfy bonds through the sale of stock to report their case to any member of the exchange. The case will be immediately referred to the board of governors and an Investigation instituted that will end only when the merits of the case are fully determined. If fraud or misrepresentation are discovered the case will be handed over to the county prosecutor, Claris Adams. CLCB TO TAKE UP QUESTION. Raymond i). Jackson of the Fletcher American Company, one of the organizers of the Bond Men's club, says that when the club holds its first business meeting Saturday the blue sky question will be one of the first to be considered. “As soon as we have elected permanent officers and dispatched with ordinary routine details, we will outline a definite and concrete plan to combat blue sky activities,” Mr. Jackson said. “And you can count on the Bond Men’s club to ‘go the limit’ along with the stock exchange in running these get-rich-quick promoters out of town,” he continued. “It wouldn't be so bad if they had anything, but about eight-sevenths of the promotion schemes now before the public are based on imagination for returns to the investor, and I will say for some of the birds selling them they have Imagination In plenty. “You can bet on the bond men to help out In any way that will protect the interest of the investor, whether it be the man with a small savings account or the wealthy capitalist, whose investment account runs into thousands,” Mr. Jackson concluded.

KAISER REFUSED TO DIE WITH MEN (Continued From Page One.) The former kaiser had the right to proclaim war and perhaps that was very wrong, but the courts can not sentence for anything hut breaches of the !sw. e can condemn politically had and stupid policies, but the punishment must be left to history, which will be severe. I believe the former waiser can not be made responsible for the braking of the laws of war; only the persons who actually gave the orders can.” “But the then kaiser was the highest officer,” It was suggested.” “The allies greatly overestimate the former kaiser's influence on wartime policies,” responded Herr Gothein. Count Czernin was correct when he wrote in his books: ‘ln the last year of the war there was only one will in Germany and that was Ludendorff's.’ “A court in which the plaintiff is also the Judge means that a prisoner to be tried is being gurredered to his bitterest foe. The demands from the allies upon Germany are a hundred times more severe] than the Austriau demands upon Servlal for the crime of Sarajevo, which inflamed the whole world with war. This is tfMe principal reason why I voted as a cdminet minister agaiimt signing the peae# terms and resigned from the cabinet /

CLAIM BANKERS CAN HELP CUT COST OF LIVING Should Establish Standard Interest Rate for United States, Say Officials. SPECULATORS ARE HIT WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Big bankers meeting today in Chicago are face to face with an opportunity to help the country free Itself of the high cost of living problem, government officials said here today. By establishing an interest rate on deposits which shall be uniform throughout the country and remain unchanged save in grave emergency, the bankers can act effectively to stop wild cat speculations and extravagance, ojcials said. This, it Is pointed out, will divert money to legitimate and normal industrial enterprise and stimulate production; bringing lower prices for all commodities. The result should be felt within thirty days, officials declared. SPECULATORS FEEL GOVERNMENT BLOW. Speculators today are beginning to experience the effects of a blow dealt them by the government yesterday through the federal reserve board. When federal reserve banks opened this morning In New York, Boston and Philadelphia, the nation’s money centers, very high re-dlscount rates were quoted to other banks seeking loans. The re-dis-count rates were marked up In an order Issued by the federal reserve board here late yesterday. Thy represent a general advance of nearly 50 per cent over the rates in effect six months ago. These new high rates are intended to discourage extensive borrowings from federal reserve banks, board officials said. If they fail to produce this effect soon the rates will be marked up again, it was promised. END OF ARTIFICIAL STIMULATION OF TRADE. The high rates virtually mark the end of artificial stimulation of the financial markets by the government as a part of Its war policy, according to officials. This stimulation was blamed for high prices. Unless bankers act today in Chicago the effect of the government’s step in marking up discount rates will be nullified, aeecording to officials here. Bankers can get money from sources other than federal reserve banks by marking up their own Interest rates. The government must not be expected to establish further credits to European nations in flnaucial distress, and the vast sums that are demanded for European rehabilitation must come through credits arranged through the medium of private capital and enterprise, Gov. W. P. G. Harding of the United States Federal Reserve board, today declared in an address before the delegates to the second Pau-American Financial conference. NATION MUST BE ECONOMICAL. Gov. Harding laid It down as a policy which the nation must adhere to rigidly that governmental economy, thrift and conservation must be the watchword and declared to be absolutely Imperative that in future foreign credits must be restricted to essential purposes. “The secretary of the treasury has asked congress for money to advan(y> about $150,000,000 for purely humanitarian reasons in order to prevent actual starvation In certain localities,” Gov. Harding said. “But with this exception there appears to be no probability that further credits will be established by the government of the I'nlted States. “It la evident, therefore, that we must depend upon private enterprise and capital to provide the credits which will he needed for the rehabilitation of Europe and for the maintenance of our export trade.” Gov. Harding drew a vivid contrast, in comparing conditions five years ago with the United States standing ns a debtor on the world’s balance sheet 'to the extent of $5 000,000,000 and the situation as It. is presented today with Uncle Sam standing claimant to $14,000,000,000 from other nations. Our total national debt as represented by outstanding obligations of the government has increased from $1,000,000,000 In 1914 to approximately twenty live billion dollars today, he said.

DUTCH APPEAL TO NEUTRALS Ask Backing in Refusal to Give Up Ex-Kaiser. BERLIN, Jan. 23.—According to information received here today from The Hague, dlolland Is lsssulng a circular note appealing to all neutrals to protest against the compulsory extradition of the ex-kaiser on the ground that It would break up the internatlonalUy recognized rights of asylum. THE HAGUE, Jan 23.—Holland has formally refused to surrender the exkaiser for trial by an allied tribunal, a news agency announced here today. Holland's reply was sent to Paris on Thursday. It Is expected that the text of the note will be made public here late today. Public and press have unanimously ta ken It for granted the government would Dot comply with the extradition demand, basing Its contentions on legal obstacles. Newspapers pointed out Holland would render a service to civilization by refusing (o allow an action which, In the xuture, “would be regretted by everjbody.” The Nleuw Courant, pointing out its belief the allies did not expect compliance to their demand when It was made, added It “was most significant" how queer Premier Lloyd George and Clemenceau would appear If the former kaiser was delivered to them. Foreign diplomats here also expressed unofficially their desire the demand for extradition be uot granted, declaring If it. were the allies would "become the laughing stock of the world." The Nleuw Svandendag asserteo It did not believe Ulemen<v'au even exp>cted a reply from Holland to the allied note. It characterized the entire affair as “theatrical." The Cotirant £*!d Holland would not be worthy of a place 1n the league of nations unless she guaranteed Justice to the former kaiser. NORMAL CONDITIONS RESUME.

Urges U. S. Control of Wood Alcohol COLUMBUS, Jan. 23.—“Some such provision as federal government control of the sale of wood alcohol. until such time as it would no longer constitute a menace seems to be imperatively needed,” declared Dr. Clyde Brooks of Ohio State university. Dr. Brooks is a member of the American Physiological society and of the Society of Pharmacologists. “There is no satisfactory substitute for grain alcohol, but until this fact is absolutely established danger may continue to arise through unscrupulous persons seeking profit,” said Dr. Brooks. "To make and try to sell as a beverage a drink containing w r ood alcohol Is nothing short of murder. It is probable that when the impossibility of securing

These men came to California before 1850 and were members of the famous vigilantes. Now all the editor has to do Is “x” them off the list and some day he can write that “the last remaining pioneer.”
