THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
Defendant Refused TO Talk In the
PhonOgrnph Unless Paid.

Chicago. October 6.--The taking OF testi-
mony in the Luetgert trial moved with
refreshing rapidity today. The mystifying
technical scientific dissertations OF osteo-
logical experts gave place to short, crisp
impeachng testimony
The reputation Of Matt Scholey, who
testified that he saw Mrs. Luetgert In
Kenosha on May and 4, was attacked to-
day and witnesses followed each other on
the witness stand rapidly to show that
scholey could not be believed under oath.
The word 'veracity" floored one OF the
witnesses completely. This witness would
not believe Scholey under oath. because he
said the latter had been his partner In
saloon venture and they had quarreied ana
dissolved the co-partnership.

GREAT BRITAlN'S DECISION.
She Will Not Confer With the Rus
SLAMS aud Japanese
IN THE SEAL FISHERY CONFERENCE,
Prospects Good for the United states
to Meet the Nations Separately.
Report Unconfrmed.

London, October 1.-THE officials OF the
British foreign office have communicated
to the United States ambassador. Colonel
John Hay, the final decision that the gov.
eminent Of Great Britain must refuse 10
take part in any sealing conference with
representatives OF Russia and Japan. The
British government, however. asserts its
Willingness to confer with the United
States alone. but 1t insists that Russia
and Japan are not interested In the Bering
sea seals to a degree emitting them to
representation at the conference. The Brit
ish government does not suggest any date
for conference with the United States
and 1t is thought probable In London that
Great Britain's withdrawal will result In
two meetings, one between Nie United
states, Russia and Japan and the other
between the United States. Canada and
Great Britain. The refusal Of Great Britain
to participate In conference with Japan,
Russia and this government was wholly
due TO the objections OF the Canadian gov
eminent. Great Britain fully intended to
enter the conference. But for Colonel Hays
representations the first announcement OF
Great Britais's uswillingness to take part
In the conference would have been Anal,
but the ambassador showed SO plainly that
the change of front Of Great Britain was
so unusual that some OF the officials OF the
foreign office have been trying to secure
the attendance Of Great Britain at the
conference.
The diplomats here considered that Great
Britains course was not courteous to Rus
STA and Japan. Experts who have been
investigating the sale OF seal skins In
London in order to obtain evidence for the
use Of the United States at the conference
have proof that so per cent OF the skins
sold by the Canadian companies are those
Of female seals and most Of the animals
were shot.

Washington, October 6.--Although with
out official notice as vet OF the refusal
of the German government to grant an
exequateur to ex-Congressman Neumann
at Cologne, the news of the rejection caus-
ed no surprise at the State Departments
Mr. Neumann was appointed at his post
last May from Illinois and went to
Cologne soon afterwards. He has since
exercised the functions of his office. but
this has been by the tolerance of the
German authorities in order to afford 1t
an opportunity to consider certain facts
concerning him that had been brought
his attention. The State department. II
is said. never received any official charges
against the appointee, although certain
allegations were current that. If supporte&
would have made his selection objection
able to the German government. Some
of these are connected with the Worlds
fair and certain concert enterprise in
which Neumann is said to have been in
terested, which resulted disastrously to
some German artists.
The action of the German government
in this case is final as far as anv post in
Germany is concerned. for 1t is we'll
recognized right of nation to withhold
an eXequateur at its own pleasure.
