GERMAN PERIL
DOES NOT EXIST
THIS is STATEMENT OF BARON
STERNBURG
Accusation That His countrymen Are
FlookIng to Brazil Denied In
Magazine Article - Dates
and Figures Given
BY Associated Presa.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON May Is. - Much
comment has been provoked in dip
lomatic and congressional circles by a
magazine article written by Baron
Sternburg, the German ambassador, in
which he denounces stories concerning
the German peril" in Southern Brazil
and quotes official German statistics
showing the number of Germans who
have gone to Brazil and the size of the
German contingent now in that coun-
try
According to Baron Sternburg's fig
ures, the total number of Germans who
went to Brazil from 1871 to 1894 was
54,719. In the same time the number
of Germans who came to the United
States was 2,3S0,792.
For the same period the number of
German emigrants to all South Amer
ican countries except Brazil was 81 ,s14.
In 1904 the number of German emil
grants to Brazil was 355 and in no year
between 1898 and 1904 did the number
of Germans entering Brazil exceed S21.
Total Is 10000
The total number of native Ger
mans in Brazil at present Is given by
German authorities at 10000, while the
number of German, subjects in Brazil
Is 5000.
In commenting upon these figures.
Senator Cullom of Illinois, chairman Of
the senate committee on foreign af-
fairs said the ambassador shows the
number of Germans in Brazil to be
insignificant, and added
ut would now seem that there ought
to be no cause for alarm. Germans
pour into the United States by the
thousands every year. We frequently
get more in one ship than go to Brazil
In several years and nobody seems to
be afraid of the German population.
The German is one of the best cit
izens we have. He makes a good
American and everywhere in the west
his thrift and industry have done
much to build up the country"
Nearly All Come Here
Baron Sternburg states that ninety
six per cent of the emigrants from
Germany normally come to the United
States, where they lose their German
citizenship and soon become identified
with American institutions.
He denounces as untrue the reports
circulated that Germany is making
every possible effort to divert emigra-
tion to South America and quotes fig
ures in order to show how limited the
activities are of the German emigra-
tion bureau which has been charged
with being the source of the movement
to divert German emigration to Brazil
and other parts of South America in
the temperate zone, in the hope of
eventually gaining territory and per-
petuating German commercial suprem-
acy.

have chosen.

All Approve Of Crusade
Mrs. Marion Boyd, who has been ac-
lively engaged in the w. G. T. u.
rescue work and who has been in
strumental in winning many Aban-
doned women back to a life of self
respect and hopefulness, said:
MY stand on this subject is well
known. Yes, 1 believe such a district
engaged In any reform work of that
nature, though, since the last crusade
and know nothing about the new dis
trict which The Herald has found to
be existing"
Rev. Robert Mcintyre, who is usual
ly considered n cautious and conserva-
tive speaker I'm discussing radical re-
form movements, was strong in his
expressions of approval of the move-
ment started by The Herald.
Our town has been free from that
class of people for a long time and we
want to keep it free. That kind of
thing must be blotted out. We have
passed beyond the days of the wide
open mining camp. The social evil

come, but 1t bust not be recognized by

said, land my work is such that 1t

red light district. / am sorry 1 do not

to know about 1t. 1 am against sin,
though, and strongly in favor of a

evil"
Rev. Dana Bartlett, who, as pastor
of the Bethlehem institute in the
Eighth ward, is kept on duty pretty
close to the firing line all the time,
said it was the policy of Bethlehem to
let in light, rather that to attempt to
drive out darkness.
1.-THE neighborhood in question is not
so bad now as it was formerly" he
said. though it is growing worse. Il

aim is to suppress vice in every

COMMISSIONERS ARE
ALSO IN IGNORANCE
OF THE SITUATION

While other members of the police
commission kept themselves busy yes
terday in denying that they knew any
trict, Commissioner Mason admitted
that he surmised something of the
kind was going on.
II expected that something of the
kind would occur after the San Fran
cisco disaster" said Mr.. Mason, "but
what can 1 do about it? You know
about how much influence 1 WELD in
the police commission. If the question
is brought to the attention of the po-
lice commission in any manner what
soever I will certainly do my utmost to
have the conditions told of in The Her.
aid of this morning relieved. While l
may do my utmost what I will be able
to accomplish is hard to say as I will
probably have to make my fight un-
supported
Police Commissioner James didn't
know anything about it. He said this
so many times last evening and so en-
phatically that there was little doubt
that he feant it.
Did you read the article about the
red light district in The Herald this
morning?'' he was asked.
'We-l-l-, yes 1 did," he hesitated.
What are you, as an individual
member of the police commission, going
to do about it?"
II don't know anything about it,"
What is there that the police COM
mission can do?"
Il don't know anything about it,"
What action will you probably take
If the case is officially presented to the
police commission"
IT don't know anything about it.
These things require careful investiga-
tion."
"Will you make any effort to have
this state of affairs brought officially
before the police commission?"
II don't know anything about it.
Heavens, 1 can't answer these questions
as fast as a newspaper man can ask
them. They require careful investiga-
ton, told you"
Here the interview closed but it was
evident that Commissioner James didn't
know anything about it."

caught the stranger by the sleeve and
sought to make him enter.
Details Are Unprlntable
The companion was smaller in size
and wore n loose fitting garment
which hardly reached to her knees.
Ihe conversation and scene NAV not
here be described. The details are too
revolving to print.
The stranger had seen enough and
he said he would return later. Three
times within the block he was hailed
and solicited by women.
This, understand was on Aliso
street, where hundreds of people walk
day and night and where scores of lit
tie children were playing about the
streets.
Then came the return to the Jack
son street resorts. Word had been
given to be a little careful and the
places were not so wide open. Painted
faces appeared at doorways as the
stranger passed by, chirrups came
from windows and the lights burned
low.
From over the roofs of the houses
came the quick tinkle of a guitar and
the stranger stopped to listen. 1t was
dark with the blackness of the damned
where he stood and his eyes looked
longingly for some ray from the outer
world of goodness.
Louder came the tinkle of the guitar
and then the quick rattle of a tam
BOURNE. High above the sounds Of
the street came a sweet voice. the
words of the grand old hymn sitting
slowly In through the barrier of
houses and resting like a carpet of
light over the foulness of the place.
Louder and sweeter rang the voice
of the Salvation Army singer and like
one entranced the stranger stared and
listened.
Suddenly there came a voice, harsh,
cruel and grating. like the command
of some devil calling back a lost soul
who had sought one look at heaven
from the barred gates of hell.
'The d-n fools!" came the voice of
a gaudily dressed woman, as she
LEANED against a doorpost and!
glanced fearfully to where the lights
of the street shone brightest
"And they think there is a God"
said the voice, and with a laugh like
echoes from the dead the creature
staggered back to her den.
Like one awakening from dream,
with the cold sweat starting from
every pore and the dry-eyed fright of
death upon his face, the stranger hur-
ried to the nearest exit from the
quarter where he had beheld scenes of
loathsome slavery a thousand times
worse than he had ever dreamed of.

FIND FRAGMENT
Of LOST GOSPEL
TINY SCRAP OF VELLUM GIVES
WORDS OF JESUS
Well Written but Yellow With the
Age Of Centuries, Manuscript Is
Placed In Queens
College
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May ia cable dis
patch to morning paper from London
says:
Drs. Grenfell and Hart, during con-
tinued researches of the ruins of Oxy-
rhyncus. whose ancient monasteries
some years ago yielded the famous
Logia Of Christ, found fragment of a
supposed lost gospel which is now in
Queens college, Oxford.
1t is a tiny scrap Of vellum, per-
forated by worms and yellowed by six
teen centuries, but the writing is per-
fectly legible. 1t is written in Greek
characters which are almost micro
scopically minute, with scarlet initials.
There are about 300 words.
Gospel Well Written
1t is certainly no part of the extant
gospel, but it's theological value must
be left to the theologians. 1t is un-
usually we'll written from a literary
viewpoint.
1t begins in the middle of a speech
Jesus and his disciples have entered the
temple and met a Pharisee who re-
Dukes them for omitting some cere-
monial of ablution.
Jesus asks the Pharisee what the lat
ter has done to comply with the cere-
monial. The Pharisee's reply minutely
describes the process of publication, of
which no previous authority has given
the details.
Eloquent Denunciation
Then follows a powerful, eloquent
denunciation by Jesus of mere outward
publication, he saying that he and his
disciples have been purified by the
waters of life. There is also a mention
of a hitherto unknown part of the
temple called Hegneuterian or place of
publication.
Theological circles are greatly in
terested in the discovery, which prom
ises sensation equal to that created
by the Logia of Christ.

CARL SCHURz
TRUE To FRIEND
LETTER RECALLS INCIDENT
OF 1868
Refused to Accept Major Generalship
Because He Considered Another
Man Was Being
SIlshted
BY Associated Presa

BY Associated PresA
NEW YORK, May 15.-Carl Schurz
who died yesterday, in 1863 declined a
major generalship preferred by Presi-
dent Lincoln unless his friend, General
julius H. Stahel of this city, received
equal recognition at the same time.
General Schurz wrote the president
a letter, which he handed to General
Stahel with request that he forward
it as soon as he had read it.
The letter excited the profound graft
tude OF General Stahel and he refused
to send it. Later, when President
Lincoln commissioned both Schurz and
Stahel major generals, General Stahel
called on President Lincoln and placed
the letter in his hands.
General Stahel who is 81 years of
age, has guarded this letter for years
as perhaps his most precious treasure,
showing it only to his most intimate
friends. The death of his old comrade
prompted the suggestion that the letter
be made public. Is is as follows:
Was Loyal to Friend
Camp near Falmouth, Jan. 25, 1868.
ITO His Excellency, the President:
Dear sir: have just seen the
Philadelphia Inquirer, which published
a list of your nominations for major
generalships, containing my name, but
not that of General Stahel.
You remember the conversations we
have had upon that subject and my
emphatic declaration that I would not
be in any manner In General Stahers
way; that he yielded to me the COM
mand of the Eleventh corps, and would
be satisfied with the command of tho
cavalry reserve; that L accepted this
sacrifice IL he could be made major
general as well as myself. You in
formed me kindly that this would be
done.
Decline Distinction
"If there are circumstances prevent
ing General Stahel's nomination to-
gether with mine l feel In honor bound
to respectfully decline the distinction
you were kind enough to confer upon
me, at the same time thanking you
most sincerely for this great mark OF
friendly consideration.
You viii pardon me for this, for II
has always been my principle to be
true to my friends and to stand up to
word l once have given.
IL would much rather command the
Eleventh corps and be brigadier gen.
eral, or not command II at all, than
to wear the two stars setting aside q
man who is worthy Of preferment. de-
serves my friendship and TO whom
had the honor to carry your promise
OF promotion.
yours very truly,
&C. SCHURz."
