ROM INJURIES BY AUTOS of do Beer Gone, Now It Is Forming Alliance With Ice 1 Cream. The old familiar combination of "beer and pretzels," abolished by prohibition, has been succeeded by "ice cream and pretzels." The innovation was started in Philadelphia, said by dealers to 'be started proportion to population, in the I world. At the Mississippi Valley and Southwestern Regional Exhibition Of the Association of Ice Cream Supply Men, at the Coliseum this week, one the most conspicuous displays is that of a large pretzel bakery.

A visitor at the exposition today inquired as to what pretzels had to with the ice cream industry. He was informed that pretzels and ice cream "had taken the place of pretzels and beer." "Ever since last July, when wartime prohibition became effective, Philadelphians have been taking pretzels with nut sundaes and ba nana splits," said Robert Everett, of the Ice Cream Supply Men's Association. "The custom is to be introduced in St. Louis and, I dare say, that before next surrtjjier is over you will see a bowl of pretzels on the counter of every Ice cream parlor to see it on the bar in every saloon. It doesn't sound very appetizing, but just wait until the people taste the combination." DETZER MISTREATED PRISONERS AT LE MANS, OFFICER TESTIFIES He Says Accused Captain Told Him of Giving a Private a "Good Licking With His Fist." By the Associated Press.

NEW Jan. 14. Testimony that Capt. Karl W. Detzer maltreated soldiers at the prison, camp at lie Mans of which he was in charge, was given at his courtmar-tial today by Lieut Leonard.

Ma- han, who served under him. Mahan told of finding prisoners with their noses against a mark on the wall "to think over what happened to oth ers." When examining prisoners, Detzef, the witness said, paced the floor cursing or sat at a table with a pistol in front of him, and a riding crop in his hand. Mahan quoted Detzer as telling him that he had given Private Yates "a damned good licjking with his fists." Before the war Mahan was chief of the Bureau of Criminal Identification of the Washington Police Department. He testified that Detzer did not intrusf the investigation of complaints to him because he was "an ordinary ignorant policeman." Mahan testified that American soldiers divided stolen property among themselves while serving in the department of criminal investigation at Paris, to which he was at tached before being assigned to assist Detzer. In the safe of the department, he said, he found 70,000 francs in cash and a check for 000 francs with no record to show the prisoners from whom the money had been taken.

The department used soldiers ab- Fent without leave as "stool pigeons," and provided them with firearms, Mahan testified. IOWA PUPILS IN PARADE FOR MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS Mason City nigh Boys and Girls Act on Board's Refusal of Immediate Increase. By the Associated Press. MASON CITY. Jan.

BERLIN, Tuesday, Jan. 13. The Government late tonight proclaimed martial law in all sections of Germany following the mob demonstration this afternoon in which at least 10 persons were killed and many others were wounded by machine-gun fire from guards in front of the Reichstag building. Gustav Noske, the Minister of Defense, has been appointed er in chief for the Greater Berlin district and Brandenburg Province. Street parades, meetings and demonstrations of all kinds have been prohibited.

Noske has prohibited the sale of Die Frelheit and the red flag throughout the territory where a state of siege has been proclaimed. Noske troops have placed riflemen with a barbed wire cordon throughout the downtown streets. The Reichstag square was given a reinforced patrol. The Wilhelmstrasse was barred to all traffic and the Government building was virtually inaccessible except to those employed there. The Unter den Linden entrance to the Hotel Adlon was closed and darkened.

The members of the assembly were not molested, as they loft the Reichstag building after adjournment was taken. The mob, organized by extremists as a protest against the Industrial Council's bill now before the Reichstag, putting all workmen's councils under Government control and thus crushing the Soviet movement, began to gather this morning By noon every street leading to the Tiergarten was crowded with masses of people carrying red flags and placards. Anticipating a demonstration be fore the Reiohstag building, the au thorities had surrounded the build ing with public security guards and machine gunners, who barred ap proach to the edifice. As time passed, the crowd was joined by striking tram employes and soon inr flammatory speeches were begun by agitators. "Down With Xonke!" When the Reichstag convened at 3 o'clock the crowd surrounding the building was estimated at 40.000 and new delegations of working poflple carrying red flags and banners Inscribed with the words "All Power to the Soviets" continued to arrive.

Troop reinforcements in huge motor trucks were added to the guards on duty, but only one arrest had been made since noon. The man, taken Into custody Is said to have shouted, "Down with Noske." Attempts were made by the guards to disperse the mob quietly, but it was heedless of warnings. At last, the mob, regardless of the machine gunners and other defenders of the building, made a rush against the police lines, trvin to disarm the guards and disable the machine guns. 1 When it was seen the mob could rot be checked in any other way, fire was opened on it. The shooting was at close range.

The most severe casualties were Inflicted on the crowd which approached from the Simonntrasse side of the structure Order was soon restored. The Reichstag continued its sitting until o'clock, at which time it was announced 10 bodies of persons killed in the fight had been brought Into court of tho building.

The only furnishings In the house were a table, a chair, an apothecary's scales and a stock said to have consisted only of narcotics. The prescriptions found were all signed by Dr.

Manning. Masserang testified that just prior July, 1916. when Cucchi opened the Delmar boulevard "drug store," he had refused to fill any more pre scriptions calling for narcotics signed by Dr. Manning, because they were becoming too numerous.
