REGARDED AS ABSURD.
Story Involving the President and Sec
rotary Taft.


According to the Manila Cable News cop
les Of which have just reached the War De-
partment. 1t is currently reported In Manila
that some of the furniture made in the
quartermaster's shops in the Philippines
was received by the President and the Sec.
rotary Of War. Information to that effect
Is alleged to have developed from the in
vestigation Of the so-called furniture scan
dali in the Philippines. Several officers OF
the army are being tried on charges Of hav-
ing furnished high government officials free
Of charge with furniture made in the quar-.
termasters shops in Manila.
The Cable News says that "the books will
show now that the entries against Roose.
welt and Taft have been charged up to the
present chief quartermaster general"
In the absence of the officials named 1t Is
impossible to get definite information from
them, but all the officials at the War De-
partment approached on the subject agreed
that it was extremely improbable that
either one Of the officials named would have
accepted furniture or anything else under
the alleged circumstances, and treated the
story as absurd on it's face.

CONSTANTINOPLE November 14.-Con-
siderable interest Is manifested in certain
quarters here In the arrest in London Of
Karl Hau on the charge OF murder. The
prisoner. who is well known locally. left
Constantinople October 10, after a years
residence here with only occasional breaks
While In Constantinople the prisoner did
not claim American citizenship, but travelled
with a Turkish passport.
In which he was described as the legal adj
wiser of the Turkish legation at Washing
ton. He had practically no relations with
the American embassy here. and was
largely occupied in futile attempts to OBJ
taip concessions and orders for American
firms, including an order for a battleship
Tor a shipbuilding company Of Newport
News. Va.
The dispatch from Constantinople stating
that the Turkish passports which were
possessed by Prof. Hau showed that he
was a legal agent for the legation here,
/ was shown to one of the officials Of the
afternoon. After reading the cablegram
with much interest he said Prof. Hau was
not now legal representative. nor had he
ever had any such connection with the
Turkish legation at Washington.
He added that Prof. Hau had been an
occasional visitor to the legation, but sim
ply came as any other caller or guest, be-
ing known to the Turkish minister through
Prof. Herman Schoenfeld. who Is consul
general for Turkey.
1t was learned that Prof. Schoenfeld also
Is instructor in German at the George

was instructor in Roman law while he was

From an authoritive source 1t was learned
that Prof. Schoenfeld had, as consul general
OF Turkey. given Prof. Hau certain letters
which may have been construed to have
given him status as legal representative
Of the consul general. These letters were
given to Hau, 1t Is said. shortly before his
departure from Washington on his Euro
pean trip.
Prof. Schoenfeld said to Hau before Civ.
Ing him the letters that as he was not q
citizen OF the United States and had not

said Prosecutor David today In reference
to the investigation Of alleged attempts al

body upon which we could take action"
When the jurymen were considering the
case one or two OF them held out and re-
fused to report verdict Of guilty, as the
others desired. The jury reported once to
Judge Banker that IL could not agree but
the judge sent the Jurymen back, and they
finally found a-vefdict of guilty.

The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1906-06-15

The primary election for the
selection Of republican and demo-
cratic candidates will be held June
10. From present indications, the
struggle for the place will occur
within the ranks Of the republican
party, as the primary nomination
in many counties will be almost
equivalent to an election. For
this reason it behooves every re-
publican voter to go to the polls
on June 10 and register his choice
of candidates. The primary cleo
ton gives every man and oppor.
tunity to express his will, free and
untrammeled Of any influences ex-
cept those that should actuate
every good citizen an %conscienti-
Gus voter. If the republicans of
the county get out and vote at the
primaries, there is no question but
the selections made will be credit
able and worthy, But the main
thing is to get out and vote. Do
not wait until after the primaries
and then complain if selections are
made that do not represent the
choice of the majority Of the peo-
pie. The man who fails to regis
ter his vote at the primaries and
afterv ard complains of the caliber
Of any Of the candidates chosen
should remember that he is him
self in a measure to blame for the
result. If the republicans Of the
county go to the polls of June 10
and do their duty as citizens and
electors there will be no question
of the result. But it will not do
for republicans to stay at home or
allow any other business to pre-
vent them from going to the polls.
The issue is plain in this fight and
it is up to the people to decide.
Their decision will be good and
wholesome if they go to the polls
and vote. But there must be no
failure to vote at the primaries on
the part Of any citizen. The sup
porters Of the German movement
will be at tie polls in force. 1t ire
mains for the friends Of clean and
decent politics and government
and those who are in favor Of d.
vorcing the nationality issue from
American politics to be as faithful
and active as it's enemies will be.
