this morning, when Admiral Sampson
called upon the President at the Hotel
Walton. 1t was the intention to have
the chief executive remain here until
Friday to review the naval parade and
visit the squadron, but the Presidents

night caused a rearrangement of the
programme. The visit of the Presi-

but he grew so enthusiastic over the
great fighters that he visited the flag
ship New York, cruiser Brooklyn and
the battleships Indiana, Massachusetts
and Texas. There was almost a con-
tinuous roar of guns during the one
and three-q quarter hours that it took
to inspect the vessels. In all 462 guns
were fired by the squadron in the
Presidents salutes.
Enthusiasm was rampant tonight.

peared he received a tremendous ova-

What has, given you permanent, unper-

INVESTIGATION
MAY Be MADE
Inquiry Into Bentheim's S
Story.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-The officials
of the State Department have been much
interested in the remarkable story of the
artist Bentheim, at Atlanta of his con-
nection with the German secret service
The point in his narrative that particu-
larly attracts attention at this time is the
allegation that the deputy and Vice Con-
sui at Sonneberg has been serving as a
German agent to convey secrets relative
to war material stolen from the French
Government and that the official has used
the United States consulate and the Off
cial letterheads and envelopes of the con-
sulate to further his ends
The records of the department show
that Alvin Florschultz was appointed vice
and deputy United States Consul at Son
neberg in 1883. He had been connected
with the banking business in the town
and resigned the place of cashier of one
of the largest banks to accept the po-
sition in the consulate. When the con-
sulate was removed from Sonneberg to
CoblenZ, Florschultz went along He has
given satisfaction at every point and has
frequently discharged the duties of Con-
sui during the absence of that official.
He still holds his place. Inquiry made
into the accuracy of the detailed state
ments made by Bentheim appears to con-
was a soldier in the Two Hundred and
Second New York Regiment and dis
charged in Washington is borne out by
the War Department records. Notwith-
standing this the officials of the State
Department discredit Bentheims state
ments, though now that they have been
given such publicity it may be found ex-
pedient to quietly investigate the matter
The German embassy treats the Ben
theim story lightly and while the officials
say there are number of circumstances
referring to his alleged employment in the
military service at Berlin which are in
consistent with the established system
there, yet they. will not dignity the story
by going into details.
Sculptor Trentanove, who is mentioned
as the one who will be visited by Ben
theim in Washington, has gone abroad
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 81 never knew

many, and who said that he was born in
Denver thirty-sx years ago. II think 1t
is a fake name, said Mr.. Londoner, for
there were not many people here In 1868,
and ! would have known his father II he
had really been born here.
John Martin, the commission man, who
has lived in Denver since the first house
was built could remember no such name.
