The Order Directs Him to Leave Ger
many Within Three Days.

AS a result of the protest and interven-
ton of Ambassador White, young Alfred
Wessling. son of Charles Wessling of New
York city, has been released from a Ger
man military prison Wessiing, while visit
ing Germany last spring, was drafted into
the German army. Recently for the petty
offense of chatting he was struck a violent
blow by his sergeant, which provoked him
to retaliate, thus laying himself open to
court-martial. His release is coupled with
his discharge from the army, and he is
ordered to leave Germany within three
days
At the time young Wessling was drafted
he proved that he had made a formal
declaration of his intention to become a
citizen of the United States although his
naturalization had not been perfected. This
protest was ignored by the German mill
tary authorities. Young Wessling, after
the ARRAY with the sergeant, fled to the
United States consulate, but was persuaded
by Consul Crane to surrender. The case
at one time seemed likely to involve diplo-
matte complications.

the work.
Mr.. Hannah was also charged with vio-
lating the plumbing regulations in taking
cut a permit, about April -, in his own
name. to make repairs to a terra-cotta sew
er on Sd street southwest, upon an applica-
tiCn signed by John Thornton, and causing
the work to be done by Mccain and Nc
Grath, without his own personal knowledge
and supervision of the work He admitted
he did not know whether Mr.. Thornton was
white or colored man, and that he had
divided the profits with Mccain and Nc
Grath
The inspector of plumbing stated to the
Commissioners that these were not the
been guilty; that the firm of which he was
a member had been previously suspended
by the Commissioners for the offense of
taking out permits for unlicensed plumbers,
and that the license of Mr.. Hannah had
been withheld until he had satisfied all the
requirements of the plumbing inspector as
to the work done by another plumber for
which he had assumed the responsibility.
Before his license was issued he promised
Captain Beach and the Inspector of plumb
Ing that he would conduct his business I'm
