was monstrous to have such a man for
confidential agent of the political police.
The assertion that the foreign Office had
shown animosity toward Won rausch from
the first. he said was quite unfounded. In
conclusion Baron MarschaIl Won Bieber.
stein referred to the suspicion cast upon
MIN after the retirement Of Herr Won koe,-
Ter from the post Of secretary OF the inte-
rior. and explained that these asperstonS
had induced him to take vigorous action
The public prosecutor declared that Ba-
ron Marschaiis statement, like the previ-
Gus dispositions. failed to furnish conclu-
sive proof that Won Tausch had been at
the back of Normann-Schumann's press
intrigues o. that he was connected with
the latter's articles. 1t could not be de-
MED, however. that there was ground Tor
strong suspicion against Won Tauach, but
actual proof had not been adduced.
The trial. which began on Monday last
and has continued through the week. mo-
nopolizes public attention. The proceed
ings will last at least for another week
Though a number OF revelations have
been made, showing the rottenness and
moral turpitude OF the Berlin secret po-
lice there is q general impression that
much interesting information has been
withheld by Won Tausch and By Baron
Won Luetzow. the chief witness ngainst
him, especially regarding the intrigues OF
high dignitaries to queer number OF
past and present ministers. The presid-
Ing Judge has repeatedly expressed indig-
nation at the network of corruption ana
haseness into which the dispositions OF the
defendants threw light. Won i.uefZow
admitted that the names of well known
citizens were frequently forged to receipts
for money received as compensation Tor
spy service Won Tausch said the police
commissioners necessarily had to shield
the criminal acts Of their subordinate
agents: otherwise no police commissioner
could accomplish anything.
The president revealed a number OF
damaging incidents against the owners
and editors OF Berlin newspapers Herr
Srhweinberg, the owner of a Berlin news
paper was charged with receiving an an
nual brihe of 3aolo marks from the Dis
conto Society.

The debate on plate glass and the ex-

Jones read number of letters complain

Aldrich defended the rates OF the bill.
It was not true. he said. that the rates
on plate glass were to be increased as
asserted by Jones. or that plate glass was
an article of necessity to the common
people. Plate glass was not an article OF
