New YORK, May 10.-Mr. Roesiug, the North
German Consul General here authorizes the
positive denial of the statement in the London
Times that the warning to German capitalists
against American bonds came from the North
German Consul at New York. He has written

Mcfarland and Richardson dined together at No.

land at that time is proved by Sinclair to have been
guilty OF brutal intoXication, and the wfes heart
was broken by this conduct. For long time she
kept this state Of things secret but at last she could

Mcfarland left his wife and said to Sinclair and
Jordan that he never expected to live with her
again.
