PASSION PLAY VISITORS GIVEN FAIR WARNING Conspiracy of Bavarian Business Men to Take Heavy Toll. APPROACH TO ROBBERY Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON. May 12—Intending American visitors to the Obernmmergau Tassioa Play, which will officially open next Sunday, are warned from an authoritative quarter to be on the lookout as they pass through Munich, the capital of Bavaria. Virtually ali Oberaminergan pilgrims tarry in Munich on their way to the sacred festival. Evidently, according to the advices which have reached Washington, both the business end professional classes of the South German metropolis are preparing to reap a harvest from their dollar-laden guests. Munich expects not only to entertain many tourists bound for Oberammerpan but also in connection with the German Industrial exhibition which opens this mouth and lasts until October. In consequence the city wil l be heavily overcrowded. Indications forthcoming that prices will be boojsUJ to extraordinary levels. Not only will foreign guests, but local residents, suffer from the resulting state of affairs. Food costs will mount, rents will be Increased and dearness generally, it Is anticipated, ensue. Observers in Munich send word they fear an outbreak of widespread hostility toward foreigners. In consequence, such as existed in the same region at the beginning of last winter. BAVARIANS PLAN TO MAKE HAY. Although such a prospect threatens, the Bavarians who thrive on tourist I profits are reported to be determined to make all the hay possible while the

POLICE! NEW YORK, May 12.—Wholesale florists have made preparations for Mother's Day by advancing the price of carnations from 4 cents to 20 cents each.

American gun shines. Hotel nnd restaurant rates are to be Increased. Prices for foreigners at hotels are deliberately to be made heavier than for Germans. Merchants openly announce their Intention of charging foreigners an additional 100 per cent to make up some of the difference between the depredated mark and the dollar. Even the authorities are preparing to get into the game. Fees for police permits of sojourn, hitherto nominal, are to go up, and the tax on hotel rooms, now 20 per cent, probably will be raised. The Munich physicians and surgeons, including famous specialists whom Americans habitually consult aabroad, have just entered into an agreement to profit by the record-breaking 1922 Influx from the United States. They have pledged themselves to require foreigners to pay fees In the currency of their own country at prevailing rates of exchange, oi the supposedly prevailing rates. In the case of Americans, south German doctors are moreover likely to base their charges not, as hitherto, on the relatively modest scale In vogue among them, but on the extraordinarily high charges. ustomarily made t our wealthy classes, by famous physldanas and surgeons in the United States. CONSPIRACY OF ALL BUSINESS MEN. Reports coming to the United States explain that not all the merchants, hotelkeepers and medical men In the Munich region are engaged In a conspiracy to make Americans pay through the nose. But the general Impression is widely prevalent that Americans have unlimited funds to spend on tour in Europe, and a wild orgy of overcharging is accordingly In prospect. Fantastic notions exist in Germany as to the purchasingrewer of the dollar In the Unite ! States. Where Bavarians are preparing to supply commodities or services in dollar values.

there seems to be Impending a comp'nlgn that may not easily be Indistinguishable from highway robbery. Householders aro already asking from three to eight dollars a day for room without baths, electric lights or heating facilities. It Is expected that a bean the only Americans who will exist on reasonable terms will be those w r ho come supplied with German marks purchased at favorable rates. Even In their cases, they will And constant ground for complaint against being the objects of ruthless discrimination. Many officials in Bavaria, aware of forthcoming events, are doing their best to stem the tide,of extortion, but concededly with little hope. The community as a whole believes the going will be too good to be resisted. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. AMERICAN "BARBARISM.” LONDON.

ter part of this week. Postponement of action on the part of the President was the result of a visit to the White House by Senator Watson of Indiana. The Indiana Senator, It was said, approached the President for this purpose. Republicans supporting the soldiers' bonus bill hope to meet the President's objection to the proposed legislation half way in order to obtain his support. While there are sufficient votes to override a veto. Republicans want to avoid that eventuality. Both sides are apparently stalling for time, expecting an agreeraeant can be reached after the proper conferences. Dry Goods Men in 2-Day Convention The annual convention of the Indiana Retail Dry Goods Association will open next Tuesday morning at the Hotel Lin-
