THE GERMAN CONSUL DENIES 1T.

NO REPORT HAS BEEN MADE FROM THIS SIDE
ON LOUIS sTERN'S CASE.
dispatch pur2orting to come from Berlin was
published yesterday to the effect that Louis Stern.
Of Stern Brothers, will have to serve the sentence
imposed on him by the German authorities. and that
his failure to have the sentence commuted was due
TO unfavorabe reports which were made to the Ger
man Government by the German Consu-Generai
in this city. Inquiry at the German Consulate shows
that there is word Of truth in the statement.
and that no report favorable otherwise has been
sent by that officer on the matter in question.
Frederick R,schl. the German Consul here said.
when his office yesterday:
Il cannot understand how such a report could have
been made. 1t is a fabrication pure and simple No
report has been asked for he added. land none has
been made and / should be pleased to have The
Tribune say so in order that false impression may
be removed"

day to witness the final game between the New
