MATTOON, ILLINOIS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1921 Published every afternoon except Sunday, Price Five Costa GERMANY NOT SINCERE SAYS EDITOR HARDEN (1, N. S. Staff Correspondent.) Paris, June by a Correspondent of- Excelsior on (coand political relations between France and Germany, Maximilian Harden, editor of Zukunft, took- yet another opportunity offered him to bitterly attack autocratic Germany to justify France's claims for reparations. "France asks for ut part of what we made her lose," ere Arst words. He then stated that Germany still elieves that she was not the author the war, that she was never beatn and that terrible conditions have sen imposed upon Ler, although she believed in former President Vilson's "Fourteen Points." Lack Frankness, That which past German hents have lacked," continued Haron alls frankness.

It today Germany hows willingness to repair, it is simly on account of France's threats nd strength. No government heretoore has shown any sincerity in its ttempta to repair, Germany signed ho Treaty of Versailles, and she bust make good her signature. Our cople think that France is in the of militarism, but I am surrised to see how distant from arism France really 'is. As the reult of your victory we expected to be the appearance of a new Caesar. instead of that I notice that you hake less show of your victorious enerals than we do of our beaten hilitary leaders." Harden believes Chancellor Wirth sincere and suggests that much hore may be had 1 from, him if only 06 Allies, and particularly France, ere to encourage him a little more, "Don't continually threaten him or ully him." is his advice.

"When he tulilled, certain of his engagehenta pat him on the back and tell done! We are satisfied. Would Bind Economic Relations Referring to economic relations, Arden considers that where sentient. has tailed economic relations light very well succeed. "In my pinion," remarks Harden, "economic elations alone can prevent any new onflagration. Let us bind up our conomic interests.

France and Gerany cannot go on for ever stabbing ach other in the back." Asked what Germany would have' one bad she won the war, Harden reled: "She would not have done anything pry fine, but that sort of thing must base. We must become men of ature and not remain copies of the Accepts Agreements Through Fear of France's Threats. BY NEWTON C. PARKE, PLANS DISPOSITION OF SHOE MACHINERY A. F.

HIS YEARLY HEADACHE Ar BUSED To Be FIRE WORKS I REAL ESTATE SOLD FOR ARCOLA BANK Special to The Journal-Gazette. Arcola, Ill.

July T. E. Lyons, president of and acting as trustee for the Arcola State Bank, sold on Friday afternoon several parcels of land that had been advertised for sale in connection with the recent temporary closing of the bank. The results, of the sale were satisfactory, as the total realized was more than the amount at which they had been figured as assets. The John S.

Quirk farm of 122 acres sold at $300gan acre; the Ben F. Cox. quarter section brought $297.50 an acre: the undivided half of the Foster eighty brought $300 an acre. interest in the "Pat" Lyons place was sold for $12,000. The 'theater building brought: $2800, and the Jobn S.

Quirk residence $2000. Two parcels of the property were not sold; the Indiana farm of Frank C. Quirk and the Arcola residence of M. T. Quirk.

These were withdrawn from the sale because of defects in the title arising through litigation instituted to reserve these properties to the Quirks. NEXT COMMUNITY PICNIC ON JULY 12 Tuesday, July 12, has been selected as the date for the second communIty picnic and the place is the same as before, Jack Bell's woods. President Orndorff and Secretary Kizer have begun to make their plans for the new event. President Orndorff expects an attendance of nearly thousand. The start will be made on Broadway as before, but the cars will be released fast as filled with passengers.

Each driver who takes out a car with five in it will receive a free supper ticket. The tickets will be taken en up on admission to the grove, and no one will be admitted without a ticket until o'clock in the evening, when it is figured that the eating will be finished. The supper will begin at 6:30 o'clock. There will be a program, and those in attendance will have something going on till around 9 o'clock in the evening. JULY WOULD STRIVE TO BEAT JUNE RECORD July has started in to.

win a championship over: June for hot and uncomfortable, Weather, and present indications are that, with the start achieved, July will be a winner, for heat. Sunday was a day when the thermometer struggled to reach a hundred, and seemed to succeed. The Fourth started in with a temperature of near ninety, and the prospects for the day by noon were that it would surpass Sunday, both for heat and closeness. The thermometers throughout the city ranged from 93 to 104 de grees on Sunday. It is great growing weather for corn, drying weather for hay and grain between showers, and so very useful, if not a wholly comfortable temperature.

The Sunday and Sunday night was generally conceded to be more humid and oppressive than any day or night of the present season of torridity. Saturday night was uncomfortable, but Sunday night the heat was so intense that sleep was next to impossible. A heat wave seemed to strike the- community late in the night, making conditions almost bearable. While there were many hot days during the month of June, which month, in fact, was one of the hottest Junes for many years, the nights during that period were always comfortable, sleep and rest being easily obtained. RECORD ENROLLMENT SUMMER AT U.

OF I. Urbana, July largest summer enrollment in the history of the University of Illinois is recorded here this year for the session which has just started, More than 2,000 students are in attendance. Two hundred and fifteen courses are offered at Champaign and Urbana during the session which continues for eight weeks. At Chicago, certain courses are offered by the University's College of Medicine and College of Dentistry. This is the first year that the dentistry course has been 7-2-opened during the summer.

Ali courses may be counted toward either an A. B. or B. L. S.

dogree or toward a master's degree, unless otherwise specified. By attending two summer, sessions, a regular student may secure his degree a half year earlier than he could otherwise. MEAT PRICES COME DOWN TO FAVOR JUDICIOUS BUYER Washington, July present wholesalo prices "a dollar's worth of chuck will provide meat for one meal for fifteen of twenty people working hard at physical labor, said a statement today from the Institute of American Packers. General wholesale meat prices are low, but fore quarter prices have reached a price which "offers unusual advantages to the jus dicious buyer," the statement added. No comment on retail prices was made, but wholesale costs of all cuts of fresh pork were said to be from 25 to 40 per cent below figures a 'year One Half of One Per Cent Fourth MY GOODNESS, I USED.

TO BE A MEAN Boy! AMBULANCE LET'S GO YOUT TH' AN' MAKE V. OL FLIVVER BACK FIRE, SAMMY. I MUSEUM IN HONOR OF BUFFALO BILL By The International News Service. Denver, July rustic seum building atop Mount Lookout, erected for the purpose of displaying the famous trophies of Buffalo Bill (Colonel William F. Cody), is near.

ing completion, and the structure, which will be called "Pahaska Tepee," is one of the finest In the Hooky Mountains. The memorial museum is close to the grave of the late "Wild West" idol and has been built "in the rough." Giant lodgepole pines from the slopes of Mount Evans nearby form the foundation and principal, supports of the big structure. Not a piece of planed lumber can be found in the building. Carpenters employed axes almost exclusively in building the tepee. Oregon redwood shingles, split by hand, cover the rough exterior of logs.

The building is 130 feet long and thirty-eight feet in width. The ground floor contains a large tion room, with one of the most recepnificent and rugged fireplaces to be found in any structure in the mountains of the West. The room that will be used for the exhibition of Buffalo Bill relics is located at one end of the structure, on the ground floor. A balcony surrounds the reception room, and the building has a number of artistic porches, the finest of which, is a large, veranda at the front. From this veranda a remarkable view of the surrounding mountains and plains bolow may be had, with the city of Denver within the range.

The memorial was built by the city' of Denver, and the museum room will be presided over by "Johnny" Baker, foster son of the late Buffalo Bill, JAPS CLAIM PACT NOT HOSTILE TO U. S. Washington, July assurance for the American people that the Anglo-Japanese treaty carries not one grain of hostility for this government in any' possible situation was handed out here in a statement from Baron Shidehara, the Japanese 3m- bassador. It came obviously as a political plea for that pact. Coming, as the statement does, on the heels of the London that the treaty has yet a year to run, even if renewal fails this month, the ambassador's move has been accepted as the alliance's recognition of the American disapproval of the pact.

It is a reasonable theory that both countries were aware of the Shidehara plan. HOUSE PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. W.

J. Coving and Mr. and H. Trout of 1720 Lafayette avenue have as house guests over the Fourth Mrs. Mary Mockenhaupt, Mr.

and Carl haupt, Rev. Father William Mockenhaupt, Leo Mockenhaupt, Miss Etta, Emily Jane and Bobby Mockenhaupt, all of Chicago. They arrived Satur. day and expect to return home Tuesday. R.

Tell what tia you want, and we are sure we can please you. STEPHENSON'S MEAT MARKET, 1402 Broadway Phone 1491 7-15 IN ADVERSITY RECALLS DAYS OF STRENGTH Believing in Oil, Robert E.

Smith Makes His Will. Just at the sunset glow ct a long life, after worrying with tate over many ventures, Robert E. Smith, from the retreat of the county farm, has invested the last hundred dollars of money (except sixty dollars that his brother Masons are keeping for him), for a speculative fling it the field where he failed to find fortune in the days of his strength. His home is in Toledo, he was born in Cumberland county on September 22, 1844, but he has spent most of his lite away from the land of his birth. And now, when his friends are trying to discover oil in the acres with which he was familiar as a boy, believing that there is oil to be found there in great quantities, be casts in his last hundred dollars for the purchase of ten shares of stock in the Central Illinois Petroleum Company.

Believes in Its Future. How strong is his belief in the future of the company is in a will which Mr. Smith executed last Thursday, in which he divided his ten shares of stock into four parcels, providing that, when he no longer lives to enjoy its fruitfulness, its in-; I come shall continue for public benefit. In his will, he names Spring Point cemetery, near Coles, as the beneficiary for four shares, "for the care and upkeep of the cemetery." Two shares are devised to the Janesville cemetery for the "care and upkeep" of that cemetery; two shares are willed to the Free Methodist Church of Bradbury, and two shares to the Effingham cemetery in Effingham for the care of the graves of "Big Evan" Baker, Spence Joe Baker, Dan Baker, Jesse Baker and Squire Hutchins. W.

M. Thompson of Toledo 1 is named as executor of the will, and the court is asked to permit him to serve without bond. The men whose graves are menItioned in the will were taken prisoner with him at Chicago in 1865, on the charge that they were rebels. They died in prison at Camp Douglas and were sent home to Emingham for burial. These are the comrades of whom he thinks, whose memory is with him all the time, of whom he talks.

Others Now Profiting. After the war, Mr. Smith went into Oklahoma and was herding cattle in the Indian days. He was there when oil leases were given by the govern ment's wards to many white settlers, and he himself had acres of leases. The government rescinded these leases, and Mr.

Smith went off on the ranch again and forgot them. Later, when the Standard Oil interests were permitted to exploit this field, the land of his leases was in the field. He had gone on and forgotten it, but some of the acres in that tract are in the field of biggest producers of today. Mr. Smith says that he felt that he was to win in oil and missed it in his youth by only a little.

He has declared himself in on the CumberlandColes county field, and he believes that the future will bring great returns, if not to him, then to his beneficiaries. Stands for Home Town. Robert Smith was foremost in the county seat fight between Toledo and Greenup and was a candidate for sheriff at the time. He was for Toledo, and when his support was bidden for by the other side, with the ise of an election, he still stood for Toledo, and was defeated. His terms as sheriff, however, came after he went to Oklahoma and he had thrilling experiences on the border as an enforcer of law in unsettled places.

While riding across the plains, with friends, the scum on the top of water was noticed, and patiently with a goose quill they took up this free oil and bottled it, sending small vials of the oil far and wide and by this means starting the stampede to the oil fields there later. OIL COMPANY EMPLOYE HAS TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Robinson, July right arm of Otto Klinger, engineer at the gasoline plant of the Ohio Oil on the Ralph 'Newlin farm north of Oblong, was torn from his shoulder and he received other severe injuries. Klinger was attempting to' remove the belt that operates the water pump at the gas station, when his arm was caught between the belt and the pulley. Evidently' the entire body was swung round and round before the, arm was torn off and he was released. His chest was badly bruised and several ribs are fractured.

The left leg is also fractured below the knee and a number of bones in the right foot are broken. These injuries to his feet and legs indicate that the body was whirled over and over, striking his feet and legs on the ground, The injured man is in a serious condition. GRASS FIRE. GRASS FIRE. A grass fire called the department to 2611 Commercial avenue on the Big Four right of way Sunday forenoon, betwen eleven and twelve I o'clock "DOC" KIMERY "HEARD FROM" Sullivan, 111., July needn't come up, Getz, I've found my money," Dr.

C. W. Kimery called over the banister of his upstairs office on the cast side of the square Sunday, when Chief of Police Getz appeared in answer to a summons from the Doctor that he had been robbed. "I'm coming up anyway to look around," said the chief, as he climbed the stairs. He found a young man very badly scared.

His shirt was torn off and was lying in the corner and near it lay a dangerous looking knife. The young man showed the effects of having imbibed too freely and was just getting over it. The story he told was rather interesting. He stated that he was an employe of the "Fantanta" show, which had been here with the carnival company. That he' had on Saturday evening felt the need of a little stimulant and had asked for and received a prescription from Dr.

Kimery. When the doctor later saw the man was getting drunk, he took him up to his rooms to keep him from getting arrested and the doctor from doing some explaining. Sunday morning shortly after the man awoke, which was near the noon hour, the doctor sent to a nearby restaurant for eats for two. In the meantime the doctor missed his money. He started looking around for it, but failed to find it in its customary place.

He accused the man and tele phoned for Chief Getz. While awaiting the chief's arrival he decided to put on some third degree stuff, to get the man to' divulge where he had hidden the money. He grabbed him by the shirt and in the scuffle tore it off him. With his big knife he threatened to disembowel the now badly frightened and pleading guest. Just at this juncture the physician felt some unusual pressure on his right shin.

He glanced down and then remembered that he had put his wad of money in his union suit and it had slipped way down below his knee. After Chief Getz had been made familiar with the proceedings he began to mete out justice like a Solomon. "Step lively now, Doc, and get this man one of your shirts to replace the one that, you tore off." This done, the chief stated, "Now come across with 50c to buy the man dinner. The doctor obliged. The chief then took the man to restaurant and after seeing him ted told him to "beat it." It has since been learned that the young man was very highly thought of by his employer.

She had seen him drunk on the streets Saturday evening and was greatly surprised, as the man's conduct had been exemplary during the months that he had been with the show. She told Mr. Patterson that she would give the man another chance and take him along with the show Sunday night, but he was nowhere to be found when the show pulled out, and as is now known he was sleeping off his drunk. Whether he has 'since been able to connect up with the show has not been learned. DEMPSEY IS READY FOR ANY CHALLENGER New York, July Dempsey is ready to fight Jess Willard any time the fight can be arranged, Jack Kerans, his manager, announced last night.

The champion 1s west for vacation in a few after that, colas, Kearns said, he will be ready to fight anyone who presents himself with the proper credentials. Dempsey, happy at his victory over Carpentier and showing no marks of the encounter, passed as quiet a day, as his friends and fight fans would allow him. After a sojourn of a week or ten days here, Anishing up some bustness matters and answering the hundreds of letters and telegrams of congratulation, Dempsey will leave for his home at Salt Lake City for a long rest. The last two years have been busy ones for the champion, with little or no chance for relaxation, and Jack intends to have a real vacation at this time. GIANT DIRIGIBLE SOON TO BE HERE London, July Sam wil soon become the possessor of the British-built R-38, the largest rigid airship yet constructed in any country and a craft that represents the very "last word in aerial dreadnaught" designing.

Trim and smart as the quarterdeck of an admiral's flagship, the R-38, soon to be designated officially by her, new American name ZR-2, 18 claimed to be the most formidable craft ever to "take the air." She is expected to be capable of 5,000 miles' fight at full speed-70 miles per hour or 6,500 miles at a "cruising speed" of 60 miles per hour. Her specifications call for an armament of 14 Lewis guns, a one pound automatic gun, four bombs of 520 pounds, and eight, bombs of 230 pounds. The machine guns are distributed at vantage points so that any form of attack, from land, sea or air, might effectually. be combatted.

COURT RESERVES DECISION IN SUIT Case of Ernest F. Clay Against Estate of Mrs. Martha Fearman Heard in Special to The Journal-Gazette. Shelbyville, July suit of Ernest P. Clay against the estate of the late Martha F.

Fearman was tried in the circuit court here before Judge T. M. Jett on Friday. After hearing the evidence, court reserved its decision, which will prob. ably be entered on July 9.

Clay is a young man who lived with Mrs. Fearman for six or seven years prior to his going into service during the war and rendered the various useful services around the place during the last years of Mrs. Fearman's life. She made a warranty deed of an improved eighty acres of land to young Clay before her death and left the deed with Clinton C. Firebaugh of Windsor, for delivery to Clay on his return from the war.

He duly received the deed and recorded it and 'found out subsequently that there was a mortgage of $2600 resting against it. The deed itself provided that the land could not be sold. or mortgaged for twenty years. Clay paid the mortgage and then i brought suit against the executor of the estate on the warranty that land was free and clear of brance, damages being claimed for' breach of warranty. Ira Powell of Mattoon appeared for Clay and B.

H. Tivnen of Mattoon represented the estate. It was the claim of Clay that Mrs. Fearman intended to have the land. come to him without incumbrance, and that the peculiar wording of the deed which prevented the sale or mortgage of the property showed that such was her intention.

Attorney Tivnen made; the claim that Clay WAS in the position of a man who had' been given a horse which turned out afterward to have spavin or blemish. It was a gift, pure land simple, it and stood. it was a gift of the property as Attorney Powell claimed that the solemn warranties of the deed were the terms of the gift, and that his client was entitled to the return of the money he had paid out to cancel the mortgage, as well ag interest on such payment, and to his costs. COMMITTEE ASKS WOMEN TO SMOKE Washington, July will puff cigarettes and even smoke pipes it they want to, before members of congress when the anti-smoking bill comes up for consideration, Since Representative Paul B.

Springfleld, July of the new laws which went into effect July 1, and which caused considerable comment before the members opped aboard trains was the Glackin bill, amending "an act to provide for the incorporation of cities and villages." On the surface, main provision in the bill permits the establishment and maintenance of electrical appli. ances for fire and police protection and to establish and maintain such 'appliances in privately owned build. ings for like reasons.

In the body of the bill, however, the city council in cities and the president and board of trustees in villages shall have the power to regulate baseball exhibitions and to impose a tax up to three per cent of the gross receipts of such exhibitions. If such a tax is imposed hundreds of thousands of dollars will be. lected from the American, National, and Three I leagues and semi-pro teams in the state. The act has been signed and written into the statutes, and while cities and towns of the state may not take advantage of it, the power is given to do so.

"I'll make no further move until I hoar from Tex Rickard, but I'll box Dempsey if the bout is revived.

William Horn, for disorderly conduct and breaking the peace on Sunday afternoon, received a fine of $3 and costs, $6.85. He was the only ante Fourth disturber of the pogos. Mattoon comes in the class of municipalities that offer their city governments new problems of finance, bee ginning with the new year. A law passed by the recent legislature requires cities of the size of Mattoon (as well as those larger and smaller) to increase the size. of their Are de partments so that hereafter every member of the department, outside the chief, will have time that in his own for half of the hours of ench month.

The new law will not require doubling of the force, but it will prob ably make it necessary to add four on five members. Some Provisione of Law. The provisions of the law are that "No person employed in the fire department of any municipality shall be required to -remain on duty In his employment for periods of time, In the aggregate for any one month. amounting to more than twelve hours for each day of that month." However, this rule doos not apply to the fire chief, who is on daty twenty-four hours of each day, DOE "to any employe of a fire department who is employed subject to call." does it apply where men. in the of emergencies, such as Ares or riots or great public are required by the cater to be duty.

The purpose of the bill, is to shorten the hours of the fighters, to give them time to them selves, to increase the number of omployes in such service. The law introduced into the senate as senate bill 280. It sets the time when It shall become operative, and free this as the first of the year 1922. It makes it a misdemeanor for "any mayor, commissioner or member of a city council to violate the provisions of this act," and specifies a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, and not less than thirty days nOT more than six months imprisonment. or punishment by both fine and imprisonment, if members of fire departments are worked over an average of twelve hours a day after the begin ning of the coming new year, As to Mattoon Department.

Chief Weaver, asked today whAt the effect of this law would be on the Mattoon fire department, said he was not ready to comment on it yet, not. was he prepared at the present time to say how many new men would be required. He stated, further, that at the present time, with his force of ten men, he had to provide for three sets of meal hours three times a day and for a day off for each man once a week. This cuts the effective hour force of ten men considerably, he says. The chief says he has siren the matter considerable thought, and at the present time he says he is inclined to favor alternate days of ty-four service.

The new arrangement does not comtemplate time off for meals. The breakfast is usually, secured before coming on duty, and other meals are eaten in the Are hall, either brought from home, brought in or prepared there. Some cities provide a Hitohenette and make it convenient for the men to get their meals at the are house. $5000 Additional penditure. The coming change contemplates an addition to the forces of all are departments, large and small, covered by its provisions, and it is probable something like an additional $6000 will be required by the new law per annum for Mattoon.

Another, budget will be made before a full year expires under the operation of the new law, SO that the change, probably may effect the present budget by only a little more than $2000. TAFT TO HEAD SUPREME COURT IN OCTOBER Washington, July William Howard Taft, former President of the United States, will succeed the late Chief Justice White as head of the United States Supreme Court when that tribunal convenes in October.
