ON AHLWARDT'S PLAN
A New Anti-SemitiC Agita-
tor in Germany.
HIS CHARACTER EXPOSED
Which Shows Him Up" In Decided
ly Unfavorable Light.

BERLIN, April l1.-While Rector Ahl-
wardt is delivering lectures In Dresden
and in the country districts of Saxony,
another anti-Semitic has appeared on the
scene here, who, If possible, excels Ahl-
wardt This man calls himself Schrenn-
hager, but his real name is Schweinhagen,
which latter, literally translated, means
'pigspen." mo WONDER" say the Liberal
papers, that the gentleman has changed
his name"
Schrennhagen had the temerity to invite
Minister MIGUEL and Privy Counsellor Van
Maltseahan to meeting held last night at
Germania hall. In his letter Of n,itation
sent to these gentlemen the agitator SAYS
Your excellency should know that the anti
Semitics are In the possession of absolute proofs
that the invalid funds have been tampered
with. We are ready TO prove that of the 5OO,-
10000 marks appropriated for the invalid
fund from the French war contribution 2OO.-
0O0,MO TO 3O00O,OO marks have been squan-
dered by various unsound and corrupt invest
ments.
Your excellency will argue that Ahlwardt
claimed To have been In possession of these
facts and failed to make good his word. l
answer: That Ahlwardt was in possession of
all the facts and that he made his announce
ment too early In the day. He should have
waited at least two weeks. IL your excellency
will attend tonights meeting you will be con-
vinced that the claims of the anti-Semitic
party, above all, are well founded, and that
the government has the solemn duty 10 inves-
tigate the matter.
Minister Miguel sent the letter to the
police, asking the authorities to look up
schrennhagen's Record.
Eugene Richter's paper, The Freisinnige
Zeitung, furnished the police with the
facts about the agitators career. The Ca
zette says:
Schrennhagen was at one time socialistic
leader; afterward he delivered lectures on
"Free Religion" and finally he became a spy
for Chief Of Police Kruger. In this latter
capacity he has caused the arrest of many
socialists; for years he made "A business of
starting socialistic clubs in different parts of
the country, being careful to give them such
bylaws that made the members of the clubs
amenable to the police. OF course, he was
well paid for these efforts to give the police
chance to raid socialistic clubs and arrest
the leaders,
About two years ago Schrennhagen secured
a position on the Kreutz Zeitung, the Con-
servative organ. While Re was employed
there he had an intrigue with rich young
Jewess, and whom he Is reported TO have sedu-
ced and robbed of all her belongings. After he
had secured all her money he told her that he
as Christian could not afford TO live with her
or to have anything more to do with her, claim
ing that he discovered the fact of her being
Jewess only recently. Since then Schrenn-
hagen has delivered anti-Semitic lectures
In the PROVINCES Before he dared to return to
Berlin he secured the legal right to change his
name from Schweinhagen to the present
SchrennhaEen, and by this maneuver thought
to cover up his tracks and hoodwink the police
and press.
Eugene Richter also received an invita-
tion to attend the Schrennhagen meeting.
