He will call, Where are youg' and the reply will come loud to the man with the electro magnetic ear, I am at the bottom of the coal mine, or crossing the Andes, or in the middle of the Pacific. Or. perhaps, no voice will come at all, and he may then expect the friend is dead. Think what that will mean.

Testimony of Count Philip Won Euien-

BERLIN, May 31-The trial of Herr Won
Tausch the former chief of the secret po-
lice, charged with perjury. treason and
forgery, was resumed to-day. Herr Fried

titled that Won Tausch, during the course
of his investigation into the origin of an
article in the Welt am Montag, ntimated
that it originated from the Foreign once.
The witness added that before the Won
Luetzow trial began, Won Tausch expressed
joy at the opportunity to publicly declare
the fact that the political police did not
themselves engage in politics
Count Philip Won Gutenberg, the German
ambassador to Austria, testified that he
met Won Tausch at Abbazia and that he
publicly requested Won Tausch, if he heard
interesting news, to communicate 1T to him.
The ambassador, continuing asserted that
when receiving q clipping from the article
in the Welt am Montag, the statements
made in it did not impress him as being
connected with any special intrigue and he
did not question Won Tausch on the sub
Chief of Police Windheim testified that
it was not the duty of Won Tausch to re-
''Kukutsch." The witness said that he
was no longer in a position to state why
he had not Informed Herr Won Tausch, the
then minister of the interior, of a mission
intrusted to Won Tausch by the minister of
war. In any case, he said, no blame at
tached to Won Tausch in this matter. The
witness first heard of the ''Kukutsch' re-
ceipt in the course of the LuetZow-Leckert
trial This last statement occasioned a
lively passage between the public prose-
cutor and Won LuetZow'S counsel, resulting
in the latter, whom the president of the
court threatened to punish for contempt
for throwing up his brief, leaving the
court in a rage.
After adjournment however, counsel for
Won Luetzow accepted the explanations of
the court and of the public prosecutor and
resumed his defense of the case.

that country on the sending back of 523
japanese immigrants brought by the Kin

Japan that the emigration laws of Hawaii
are to be vigorously upheld. The answer
of Japan will not be delivered to Japan's
Hawaiian representative until this after
noon 1t was learned, however that the
view taken by Japan is that, while the
right of this government TO pass reasonable
laws respecting immigration is not denied
il is contended that if the contention OF the
Hawaiian officials were correct the iHnmi-
grafton laws of this country are in con-
travention Of the treaty existing be-
tween these countries. Further, ii was
stated that Japan says the action of the
executive in returning the japanese immi-
grants was arbitrary and capriciousy en-
forced and that the decisions of the Su-
preme Court in the habeas corpus cases
was a denial of justice and for that reason
the Hawaiian government expected to rec
ognize the principle of indemnity in the
cases of the Kiniani Maru immigrants pre-
sented to the government The empire OF
Japan also demands assurances OF this gov
