sENTHElM'S STORY.
State Department Officials Discredit
His Statements.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The officials
of the state department have been
much interested in the remarkable
story of the artist Bentheim, of Attain
ia. of his connection with the Ger
man secret service. The point in his
narrative that particularly attracts
attention at the state department is
the allegation that the United States
vice consul at Sonneberg has been
serving as German agent to convey
secrets relative to war materials 10
the French government and that of
the official has used the United States
consulate and the official letter heads
and envelopes of the consulate to fur
ther his ends.
Inquiry made into the accuracy of
the statements made by Bentheim APP
pears to confirm most of them. His
claim that he was soldier in the
Two Hundred and Second New York
regiment and discharged in Washing
ton is borne out by the war depart
ment records. Notwithstanding this,
the officials of the state department
discredit BeDtheims statements,
though now that they have been given
publicity. it may be found eXpedient
to quietly investigate the matter.

THEY ARE TOO RIGID.
Pension Laws are Thus Described by
Member of The g. A. Is. Investigate
ing Committee.

Chattanooga, Term, Sept. 6.-The
report of S. b. Case, Il member of the
G. A. r. investigating committee i'll
the matter of the methods of Pension
Commissioner Evans, has been made to
the chairman of the investigating COM
mittee. He requested that if the
committee does not adopt his views
his report shall be presented to the
national encampment as Il minority
report. Committeeman Case thinks
the commissioner of pensions is con-
ducting the department IN accordance
with the law, which he is observing
strictly to the letter. He thinks the
present pension laws are too rigid in
some respects, but suggests that the
commissioner is not responsible for
the laws.
He suggests as remedy for the
specified evils the enactment of serv-
ice pension law based on an age limit
of 80 years, in order that the pension
budget shall not be suddenly en-
larged to unreasonable proportions.

ASKS HELP FROM KINGS.
Counsel for Drcyius Requests Emperor

aIRA IN Clcnrinw His GIicnt.

sist in Clearing HIS Client.
Rennes, Sept. G.-M. Labori yester
day telegraphed personal appeals to
Emperor William and King Humbert
to grant permission to Col. Schwartz
koppen and Col. Panizzardi, German
and Italian military attaches in Paris
in 1894, to come 20 Rennes to testify
in the trial of Dreyfus The appeals
were couched in eloquent terms. in
volling the assistance of these rulers
in the name of justice and humanity.
The demand of Labori that the
court-ma1-tial should issue process,
subject to the approval of the two
sovereigns came like n thunderbolt at
Tuesdays session. The step is fraught
with momentous consequences, as it
affords Emperor William an opportun-
ity again to assume his favorite role
of arbiter of the destinies of the world.
No one win be surprised if Col.
Schwartzkoppen, in the name of the
kaiser. makes declaration that viii
practically decide the result of the
trial. Both Schwartzkoppen and
Panizzardi must consult their SOW
ereigns before starting. but the coun-
sci for Dreyfus expects them to arrive
here. if they come at all, in time to
give their testimony on Thursday, in
which case the trial would probably
conclude this week and the verdict be
delivered on Friday or Saturday.
Col. Jouaust told NJ. Dcmagne at the
close of the session that if he received
official notification that Schwartz
koppen and Panizzardi were coming
to depose he would adjourn the trial
pending their arrival. An adjourn
ment of As hours would probably give
them time to get here.
\ remarkable circumstance and one
that is significant of the relations
between the two eminent advocates
who are conducting the defense is the
fact that NJ. Labori telegraphed the
German emperor and the king of Italy
on his own initiative, without consult
ing or advising NJ. Demange.
The appearance of Schwartzkoppen
and Panizzardi would be the most SEN
sational as well as the most important
incident of the entire trial. Their
| dispositions would be a formal and
emphatic declaration that they had
| any relations with the accused. and
they would make such n statement
that the court must order an acquit-

conclusion "eminently satisfactory to
the prosecution"
1t is reported that the minister OF
