NEVER HEARD OF POTTS.
Emperor william Did Not Know There

BERLIN, May 27.-The Foreign Office
here is busily engaged in issuing denials
of the story that Emperor William has re-
fused to receive Lieutenant Commander
Templin NJ. Potts, who will succeed Com
mander William II. Beehler as naval at
tache TO the United States embassy here.
The morning mail at the Foreign Office
brought back a newspaper clipping contain
ing this report, which had been sent to
Emperor William. This clipping was
pasted on a sheet of foolscap on which
his Majesty had annotated an emphatic
denial of the statement it contained. His
Majestys annexation was read officially to
the representatives, of the Associated Press
in the following words: Il never heard of
Potts before, and did not know that there
was such a man and still less that a Cap
tain Potts had been ordered to Berlin"
Lieutenant Commander Potts is not yet
naval attache at Berlin. He has been as
signed to special duty under Commander
Beehler, and is now engaged in familiariz-
ing himself with the details of the post in
order that he may relieve Commander
Beehler Oct. /. 1t would be In no way
remarkable If Lieutenant Commander Potts
were not presented to Emperor William be-
fore that date. Admiral Won Sender Bib
ran, the chief of the imperial marine cab
met welcomed Lieutenant Commander
Potts to Berlin to-day.
