Mr. and Mrs. Rooney and Other Defendants Found Not Guilty. Holding that the St. Joseph circuit court hnd disposed of the custody of four-year-old Liillm Jordon when Judge Walter A. Funk held that Mrs. Marie Zimmerman, the maternal grandmother of the child Is' vested with its custody, Speci il Judge J. I'lmer Peak In city court Wednesday morning disposed of the kidnaping charges against Mrs. Mary Kooncy, the mother of the chill: her husband. W. K. Rooney. nnd Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, the child's grandparent?, on her mother's side by finding the four defendants not guilty. Judge Peak shut off all argument by the attorneys representing the sUte and the defendants in. the hearing. lie ruled that as the circuit court in its ruling in tlw habeas corpus proceedings brought by Mrs. Sarah Jones, the mother of Albert Jordon. who in turn is the father of the child had found that the cus-( tody of Lillian remains with Mrs. Zimmerman, the defendants could not be guilty of kidnaping. The testimony by the witnesses n city court was merely a repetition of the testimony sriven in the trial of the habeas corpus proceedings. The scenes at the homo of V. Yl. Mayes on Calvert St., on the afternoon of Dc-o. 2." when Lillian was talccn from the possession of Mrs. Jones by Mrs. Zimmerman assisted by Mr. and Mis. Rooney and Mr. Zimmerman were recalled.

ALLOW HUNS TO

yp ORT FOOD TO in BE' RE! Allies Agree on Provisioning to Eliminate Necessity For More Occupation. by nu:r s. nntGUSON. r,r I'uited Pre: PARIS, Jan. 13. Fear that furer occupation of Germany would necessary if a fericue food shortge developed prompted the allied od council to permit importation f supplies into that country, the niteel Press is able to state authoritively today. Uolshevik riots jn industrial cenrs such as Eerlin are based upon od difficulties, it was established, t was further ascertained that vhile Germany's supplies are suificlent for the moment the recple are rapidly consuming their stocks and would face actual starvation before spring. To üstaMUh Stahle Kule. It was upon representations of the allied military authorities that tho council decided it was vital to permit Germany to import foodstuff?. This would insure establishment of a stable government. It was declared und prevent the necessity for further encroachment by the allied armies upon German territory. Under the provisions of The Hague convention, provisioning of the people will devolve upon the armies of occupation. Yhen the Germans' own supplies are exhausted, if it were necessiry to occupy additional territory, the obligation naturally would Increase. In view of the conditions revealed by allied military investigations, it is pointed out that if Germany succumbs to anarchy she will be unable to make peace, and restitution and indemnities would be impossible. Germany, however, must pay for of food imported to ev ry pound -ave herself from dissolution. Ne Haggling Alloweel. The allies, it was learned today, have instructed Marshal Fech to enforce all provisions of the new terms included in the armistice in connection with its prolongation. No haggling uch as Germany has been shnwing a marked tendency to indulge in. will be permitted. Th new terms also included transfer of all pold in the relchsbank in Berlin to Frankfort, where it will be placed tinder allied control. TO DIRECT FO Wilson Favors Military Control of Distribution Only As Last Resort. 11V IHIllllT J. I5K.M)KIt. I3r l uited Prtii: PAIUS, Jan. 13.- Pres't Wilson is determined so far as possible that civilian representatives shall control the machinery for feeding Germany. Put, if the Germans fail to agree to the proposition advanced by the civilians. Marshal Foeh will dictate tho terms. Edward Hurley and Admiral Pennon, representing the United States in company with the allied commissioners, were enroute to Treves today to meet the German elelegation and take up with them tho proposition of turning over German merchant ships to the allies for transportation of food. When the question came up at the conference.- of the associated pow-e-rs, the president maintained that the best results could be obtained by putting execution of the plan in the hands of civilians instead of military olficiuls. He obtained sufficient support. particularly from Great Pritain to carry his point. One of the principal American objective just now is to get American soleliers back home. Wilson hopes to obtain German acquiescence to Lie allied proposals, so that German ships will relieve the present transportation burden. CANADIAN VETERANS MAY SEEK TO WIPE OUT PROHIBITION ACT llv I nited I're- ; PUKDEP.ICTON. N. B., Jan. 1 j. That the Canadian soldiers did not mak-e history with the expectation of no greater reward upon their return home than a cup of tea. or a ylass of blue milk, :s shown today by the adoption of a resolution by the local branch of the Great War Veterans' association calling for re-, peal of the present New Prunswlck prohibition act. The reiolution which was enthus- ! lastically supported, beside asking the repeal ef present prohibition, demands pat safe of a, law permitting the mle of "better beer and light wine?;." Whether thii movement will be supported by the Great War Veterans' aiaiOt-iutlon of other cities and provinces is not known. S hould the veterans' organizations in other parts of the dominion take the. same btand as the local branch, the 1 iw which is: to make Canada dry May 1. would probably be- wip i off the statute books as the veterans have, already shown their strength In politics.

Specialties again furnished' the bulk of today's trading In the stock market with prices substantially higher. Among they, stocks showing unusual strength were Mexican Pete, Texas Oil. American Hide and Leather Preferred and National Enamel. Hallway shares did not participate in the activity or strength and it Is therefore presumed ths.t while these shares are well liquidated nnd in strong hands something favorable on this important problem t must come from Washington before market will broaden out to any extent. Bethlehem Steel Yl and International Nickle were lower on rumors of possible reduction in their dividend rate?. International Mercantile Marine Preferred showed weakness probably eine to stop-loss felling. The monetary situation appears to be working in the right direction but we do not believe- that money for speculative purposes will be in plentiful eupply until after the flotation of our next government loan but notwithstanding this condition we cannot help but believe that good securities are reasonably cheap and should be purchased to hold on such little reactions that may occur. r.y T'M'led r-.s'-: NEW A-e)RK.
