He went on:
@To turn to Settlement work, in Germany
there are certain historic reasons Tor tne
separation between the property owning
classes and the non-property owning classes,
between peasants and gentry, between
cultured and uncultured. Here in your
country those reasons don't exist, and you
should thank God for that fact.
american people Of culture have always
been very democratic and ready 10 dln use
their culture, as is indicated by the splendid
illustration Of settlement work which is
here doubtless moer advanced than in
Germany. Still the, Social Democratic
party In Germany, although striving Tor
an ideal. perhaps, an unattainable has got
and in that respect Germany is in advance
Of America. Still, the Social Democratic
party fosters class spirit. You here on
the other hand, have splendid oppor-
tunity OF getting rid Of it,
After the professors had had their say
about their theories there rose up among
the diners District Attorney William Trav

1T is very hard to determine the theoretic
value Of settlement work, To many 1t
seems at first like sprinkling rosewater

Cleveland has said: We are confronting
conditions, not theories. There is alto

neck. Some OF the shot struck John Tiede-
mann in the right hand, causing an ugly
wound.

was ba dly wounded and leaving Won Has
seln to care for Charles, ran In search OF
a telephone in order to summon doctor.

marshes. and as the tide was coming IN
| the meadows were hard to make Roadway
through.
| John Tiedemann with great difficulty
| made his way to the Offices OF sewage

wounded man. From there he telephoned
to the Bradford Street Hospital, in East

ambulance to the scene.
Meanwhile Won Hasseln was making
great efforts to stop the flow of blood from

his shirt and handk erchiefs in doing 80.
When DR.. Smith arrived at the sewage
disposal plant in the ambulance. the tide
had risen and entered through the many
little inlets of the meadows 80 far that it was
impossible to drive to where the wounded
man lay. Policemen Hulse and Mala-.
! han. who had Joined the doctor, secured
long rubber boots, and the three set out
for the spot on foot. John Tiedemann,
who had forgotten all about his own wound,
led them. On the way Dr. Smith bandaged
Johns hand.
The four men made slow progress and
several times sank in the qua mire TO their
hips II was then quite dark and they had
no light. After much trouble they finally
reached the wounded man who was stretched
out on patch OF me adow land that hadn't
been engulfed in the tide.
DIR. Smith saw at glance that the man
was dying and ordered him placed on a
stretcher which the policemen had carried.
Tiedemann was placed on the stretcher,
but the men had gone but few feet when
he died The body was carried to dry land
and from there was removed to the Liberty
avenue station.

charged with homicide. John Tiedemann
pleaded with the police not to put Won
Hasseln in cell saving that the shooting
/ was an accident The police, however,
said that the arrest of Won Hesseln was re-
CURED by law and he was locked up.
