DENMARK WAS
 IMPOSED UPON
Christmas and Gron Were Never
 Agents for That County

Copenhagen, March 29.--In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press today regarding the Richardson resolution introduced in the House at Washington to investigate charges made by Captain Christmas in connection with the negotiations for the sale of the Dan
 sh West Indies, a high official said:
 "Neither Christmas nor Gron was ever given credentials as agent for the sale of the Danish West Indies. They never negotiated with Washington and have in no way influenced the negotiations. These were conducted through Laurits s. Swensen, the United States minister here. and Constantin Brun, the Danish minister at Washington. The Danish government is under no obligation to any private persons in connection with the be paid. The alleged scandal is the re- suit of a quarrel between Christmas and Gron. The latter claimed effected the sale and that, hence he wanted92 com mission. Christmas made a similar claim accompanied by confidential report to the Danish government. containing state ments regarding bribery, etc.. as recently published In Washington.
 Most of the report was printed by the Danish press some time ago. Gron find ing 1t hopeless to expect a commission, started for Washington with Christmas report in his pocket, boosting to the anti sale advocates here that he would be revenged by influencing Congress to de- cline to pass the appropriation for the purchase of the islands
 Before the commencement of the nego- tiations Christmas and Gron actually tried to become connected with the matter, as agents. The then premier, Dr. Hoerring, gave them some encouragement and pri- vate parties favoring the sale furnished small amounts for their travelling ex- penses. Dr. Hoerring was indiscret. He discussed commission, but bribery was not suggested. He and the other parties speedily discovered that they had been imposed upon and broke off their con- nection with Christmas and Gron, consid- ering them to be without influence. Christi mas has now been forced to declare that his report of bribery was false."

The home secretary explained yesterday
that in leaving out the word "weli'' the

The printers agreed that the comma

the system of punctuation used in the books
of the seventeenth century is not such as
to justify the basing OF an argument on the
