Germany Given Warning.

Washington, March 31.-Before the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson made statement
regarding the discrimination of Ger
many against American food products
especially meats. He pointed out that
the German analysis of these food pro-
ducts undoubtedly are very severe,
and indicated that if similar analyses
We're resorted to by American officials
against German food products con- 1g
into the United States, millions of dol
lars of German goods would be shut
out of this country every year. The
position taken by Secretary Wilson is
regarded as mild intimation to Ge"-
many that the present situation can
not continue.

A SENSATION IN THE EOUSE.
Half a Million Dollars to Influence
Members of Congress.
PURCHASE OF DANISH ISLANDS

Washington, March 29.-Nr. Rich
ardson (Tenn.) offered IA resolution,
which was adopted by the house with
out division, the purpose of which was
an investigation of statements said to
have been made by an agent OF the
Danish government that he was au-
thorized to use $500, 900 to secure the
atification of the treaty of cession of
the Danish West Indies, in bribing
members of congress and in influencing
the press of this country to favor the
purchase of those islands FROM Den
mark. The alleged agent claims to
have the support of the Danish govern
ment in making the deal, and con-
tract with the government to pay over
to him the sum of money stated out of
the proceeds of the sale of the islands
to the United States.
Mr.. Richardson's statements, eX-
planatory of the resolution created
excitement on the floor of the house.
Speaker Henderson declared that the
matter was one of the highest as
question of privilege.
Speaker Henderson, after the adop-
ton of the resolution, appointed Rep
sesentatives Dalzell, Hit, Cousins,
Mccall, Richardson, Dinsmore and
Cowherd as the investigating commit
tee.
The boodler alleged agent of Danish
government is one Walter Christmas,
and Mr. Richardson read what he be-
lieved to be a copy of the secret report
made by Christmas to his principals in
Copenhagen, also affidavits of others
who claimed to be cognizant of facts
as stated in the report.
Mr.. Richardson said that he did not
charge that any senator or member of
congress had been bribed. He had
simply presented the allegations of
this agent that money had to be used
for bribing congressman. The charges
had been published in this country and
abroad, he said, with the allegation
that conditions in the United States
"were simply horrible" He therefore
proposed this inquiry so that each
member could disclaim the charges SO
far as they affect HIM
