Germany Will Not Urge Trade Agree

Berlin, July 3O.-Chancellor Won
Buelow, it is learned, will not take up
the subject of a fresh trade agreement
with the United States until after the
congressional elections A certain
tmpropriety is felt in seeking to open
negotiations concerning a question In
directly connected with the issues of
the campaign until it is over There
is also feeling at the foreign office
that the results of the elections may
indicate the sentiment of the country
on lower tariffs, possibly making it
easier for the administration to reach
decision as to how far to ask con-
gress to meet Germany's hopes The
foreign Office has been advised, both
officially and unofficially, that 1t would
be better to wait until after the elec-
tions before even formulating Ger
many's position.

MRS. JENNIE ANDERSON PROTESTS SHE
IS INNOCENT OF THE SWINDLE CHARGE
In


Mrs. Jennie Anderson, charged
with grand larceny for the alleged
swindling of the A. o. U. w. out
of 81. 900 insurance, returned to
Bemidji yesterday in charge OF
Deputy Sheriff John Bailey.
II ain innocent" Mrs. Ander'
son declares to all with whom she
speaks on the subject. II am as
innocent as anyone could be-"
The women's defense is a con.
vincing one, and if the facts are
true, as outlined to the Pioneer
by her friend and companion on
her trip to Escanaba, @. H.
Schroeder. she has been a victim
of a strange combination of facts,
as unusual a com bination as one
will run across in a life time. ="
Mrs. Anderson's story is in
brief this: She believed her hus
band to be dead; he was insured
at one time in the Improved Order
of Red Men, and she had nc
reason to believe he had lapsed
his policy. L. W. Vasaly, re-
corder for the A. 0. U. w., is also
chief recorder for the Red Men,
and the letter which he wrote tt
the right Mrs. Jennie Anderson
and which fell into the hands OF
the wrong Mrs. Jennie Anderson
by mistake, was penned on Red
Men stationery.
Mrs. Anderson claims that she
fully believed, when she received
the letter, that the insurance

but give 1t away? How could wo-
man of such advanced years spend a
thousandth part of it herself?
Mr.. Sage knew his wife had made
a study of philanthropy and that she
knew much more than he did about it.
He knew that in leaving it to her she
would take advantage of this study
she had made and distribute the for
tune wisely. Despite the impression
which the will may have given the
fortune has been left to charity.

plans. That she has certainly some
plans I do know. Her gifts will be
along broad lines, as she Is deeply in
terested in educational work, in vari-
GUS forms of charitable enterprise, in
the soldiers and sailors, in the Young
Mems Christian association and in
hospitals. That is all 1 can say to
indicate what will become of the for
tune"
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1906-07-30

According to Schroeder, Mrs.
Anderson parted with her hus-
band last fall and mas not seen
him since. When he left, his
wife believes, he must have taken
the Red Men policy with him. No
positive information as to the
mans death ever reached the
wife, but it is claimed that she
received a letter last winter stat
ing that her hus band had died In
January or February. The let-
ter is now in the possession of
the county authorities.
The accused woman is much
broken up over the affair and
tainted several times on the train
on her way to this city in charge
of the sheriff. She was brought
into justice court this morning
to have hearing, ard tainted in
the courtroom. The case was
continued until Wednesday.

spoken of was the insurance
which her husband carried in the
Red Men, and that she never
suspected for . minute that there
had been mistake and that she
was securing $4,000 which should
have gone to another woman.
Her explanation of her swear
ing that she was the widow of
Andrew E. Anderson, while her
husbands name is, or was, Gust,
is that the latter sometimes went
by the name of Andrew, his
fathers name, and that she
thought he might have taken out
his insurance in this name.
