WI Sr STORE on THIRD RACK.
nter-NeI SAYS 10. y Commission Did Not
Provide Proper Facilities.

Eice-President Bryan of the ~lnterborouRh
Rapid Transit Company issued vest erday
n statement, 10 the effect that the railroad
company cannot ran express trains in the
subway on the third track he' ween tooth
and Iisth streets until better facilities are
provided for the storage Of cars ih yards or
5idines. Residents Of Washington Heights
have been AL ing that IN" company con-
tinue ~ expresses as such north from
Ninety-sixth street.
Mr.. BRYAN said yesterday that the third
track will he used for expresses whenever
facilities permit. The appropriation at the
disposal Of the RAPID transit Commission
for providing yards and terminals was COM
pletely exhausted before the completion Of
the road and ne Ier was sufficient TO provide
proper terminal and yard facilities for the
system. The Interborough Rapid Transit
Company pure based, with its own money
a large tract of land az Van Cortlandt Park
for a yard, but lost four years getting the
consent of the Rapid Transit Commission
TO extend Il spur to the site. In addition
the company recently purchased a large
tract Of lane Immediately cast of Broadway
and south Of the ship canal for repair shops,
layup and storage yards.
One thing that makes Il unsafe to use the
section from 10th TO 18th street for eX-
presses. said Mr.. Bryan. is the fact that the
local trains have TO be switched over TO go
south after they get 10 18th street, the
limit of the local service on the Broadway
line. IL would be practically impossible.
therefore, TO maintain a consistent express
seTViCp.

Natural ~Ties-Hopes for a Friendly
settlement Of the Tariff Question.
Special Ca6ie Desp Isch 10 THE sun.
BERLIN, Nov. I4~.-Chancellor Won Buelow
spoke for half an hour this afternoon in the
Reichstag upon Germany's foreign relations
with all the Powers. He looked well. though
his face showed traces of puffiness. His
voice was generally strong and clear. but
occasionally betrayed signs of weakness at
the close OF sentences. Thu Chancellor
was stricken in the Reichstag seven months
ago and fell unconscious.
He began his speech to-day by returning
thanks for the many expressions OF regret
he had received upon his recent illness. and
then proceeded to take up the relations OF
Germany with the several foreign countries
in turn. In the course OF the speech he said
that Germany was especially grateful to
the United States for the behavior Of its
representative at the international Moroccan
conference at Algeciras, where for the Sec
ond time it played the role OF conciliator.
The Chancellor went on to say that Ger
many and the United States were bound
by historic and natural ties and he ex-
pressed the hope that means would be found
for a friendly settlement of the economic
questions that now existed between them.
He spoke in an extremely optimistic
vein of G~ermany's relations with other
countries. There was, he said, no present
prospect of a closer connection with France;
but with her, as with other Powers, Ger
many's relations we're entirely normal
and correct.
He denied any intention of intervention in
the affairs OF Russia or Poland or that any
negotiations with Russia with regard TO
them we're in progress. Should disturbances
spread beyond the Russian borders Ger
many would be able to repress them in her
own territory. There was no cause, he
said, for the profound a~ntagonism to Ger
many in England, which he thought was
due to economic competition. This COM
petition, however, should bring the two
countries nearer, as mutual buyers and
sellers.
The Chancellor said there were points
Of discord between the two peoples, for
which both we're equally blamable. There
had, however, been no hostile acts. There
was no need that economic rivalry or COM
petition should kindle political a~ntagonism.
still less war. Germany and England
were such good customers of each other
that both have every reason TO desire
70 retain each others custom. For this
reason all sensible people should do their
utmost to remove Misunderstanding and
foster a mutual understanding.
The Chancellor carefully avoided any
reference to the Kaiser's unduly prominent
activity in foreign International matters.

LONDON, Nov. H.-The American Gov
eminent has taken up the case of Prof.
Carl Hau of the George Washington Uni
versity, Washington, who was arrested in
London on November s at the request of the
German police. who charge him with the
murder Of his mother-in-law Frau Moliter, at
Baden Baden on November Q. The American
Embassy will be represented at the hearing
OF the case. which was adjourned to-day
until next Wednesday.
When the case was before the Bow Street
ExtradItion Court to-day the prisoners
counsel, referring to the fact that a loaded
revolver was found in Hau's baggage when
he was arrested AT the Hotel Cecil, declared
that the weapon showed hat il had never
been fired. He said the prisoner wished to
rave it declared publicly that he was abso-
lutely innocent of the murder OF Mrs. Moliter
and that he knew nothing whatever Of it.
The Court, which has already allowed
Hau 10 nave $500 of the money that was
found in his pockets when he was arrested,
allowed him a further sum of $500.
CoNsrANrM oPLE, Nov. 1.-THE Sun
correspondent made the acquaintance
of Prof. Carl Hau, now under arrest 5
London on the charge of numbering his
mother-in-law in Germany, while he was
in Constantinople some months ago. he
represented large American interests here,
including. II is said, the Standard Oil Com
pany. He complained that he was being
watched in an annoying manner by spies
in consequence of some one having de-
nounced him as an American who had come
TO Constsntinople, amply provided with
funds, engaged in a plot to assassinate the
Sultan.
The espionage became SO unbearable that
finally a complained to the Sultan's First
Secretary and to United States Ambassador
Ieishman. The letter in which he was
denounced a. an anarchist and assassin
came in an envelope postmarked Baden
Baden and was in a female hand. The
letter was shown 10 the correspondent by
an agent Of Ferid Pasha, the chief of the
Turkish Secret Service, who investigated
the matter.

TARIFF WAR WITH GERMANY
Unless some Reciprocal Agreement 10
Reached Before June :.


WASHINGTON. Nov. l4-Unless some
definite and lasting agreement is reached
between the United States and Germany
as a result OF the presentation to Congress
Of the report to be made to the President
by DR.. North and his colleagues. who have
gone to Germany to study the tariff situa-
ton. the Government at Berlin will put in
force on June 7 next her maximum tariff
on goods imported into Germany from the
L nited States. thus replacing the minimum
rates now in effect.
Last year when the new German tariff
laws became operative the minimum rates
were extended 20 tho United States until
June 7. 1907. in the hope thai in the mean
time the Government here would find a
way to mak e such concessions to Germany
as to warrant the granting of the lower rates
permanently. The United States would
thus receive the same treatment az the
seN en- countries with which Germany con-
Quoted reciprocal trade treaties.
Even il Germany were willing to grant
n further extension II would be impossible
for her to do so on account Of the treaties
she has made with other countries. After
having procured concessions with those
nations in return for UNI tariff rates,
It would be difficult to grant the same favors
to the United States for practically no re-
tAh NNA - " NAef ANC SAbA AN5
having treaties with Germany would object
Az q matter of fact Germany has already
received intimations of displessure from
some of the treaty countries because of
the granting of the minimum rates to the
United States for the year which will end
June ! next. Their argument is that Ger
many has no right to give to the United
States free concessions and favors for which
she secured equivalents from oountr.e s
willing to make reciprocal treaties.
DR.. North has not informed the State
Department who has been selected by the
Gerran Government to meet theAmerican
experts in n discussion OF the commercial
relations between the two countries, but IL
Ia pretty definitely understood that Two
Of the experts will be Herr Won Kroener and
DR.. Lehman, both Of the Berlin foreign
Office. They were members of the German
Tariff Commission. which concluded the
experts of the foreign Office on all tariff
matters.

Comptroller Metz TO improve both services
materially Also at the conference were
President McGowan of the Board of Alder
men, Borough President Cromwell of Rich
mond n Chief Engineer lacombe OF the
Finance Department.
Mr.. Lauterbach said that he was author
lied by Mr.. Rogers TO say that at least $40. con
would be spent immed. ately in improving
the lighting and power plants. He also
denied that the city's refusal to pay claims
amounting to $40. 900 which the com pany
had against the city was the reason the
improvements had not been made before.
Mr.. Lacombc replied that he o
suggested by Mr.. Lauterbsch would not
be adequate and that the necessities Of the
island demand a municipal plant.
T~hereupon Mr. Lauterbach said that
the com would lie willing to spend all
the money needed. and proposed TO spend

ELECTION FR4UDS ~ JERSEY"
Allegations That May Anect -Four He
publican .AssembIymen and a senator

Democratic politicians in New Jersey
were stirred yesterday by the publication
Of a story that detectives said 20 have been
employed by Col. Edwin A, stevens Of
Castle Point, Hoboken, had discovered
evidence that four Republican Assembly
man and one Republican State Senator had
been ~fraudulently elected intwo~ counties
1t was SAID the DETECTIVES, who had been
hired for 81 900, were still at work in Mid
dlesex and CAGE May counties completing
their investiga tions, the results Of which
will be presented to the Legislature at it,
session in January.
Col. Stevens is confined to his room at
Castle Point with an attack Of grip. A
member Of his family conversant with his
affairs said: The story Is not trIe. The
Colonel hired no detectives and he received
no reports Of fraudulent practices at the
polls. II detectives were employed they
were hired by some organization or some
person or persons other than the Colonel,
AssemblyTuan-elect Archibald Alexander
Of Hoboken. Col. Stevens nephew. said
A. the clubhouse Of the Robert Davis
Association in Jerscv City l1st night that
he did not know anything about The story,
Il haven't seen the Colonel in two days,
he said.
II is said that people Interested in Col.
SteN ens's candidacy for the United states
senatorship were responsible for sending
detective into sel eral counties on election
RAY To get ev idence of CORRUPTION at the
polls. The Colonel, 1t is said. footed the
bills. The Republicans have a majority
81 seven in the Lcgisl ltuTe on joint b. u Z.
The unselting of four Republican Assembly
r1en by the Democratic House would give
the Democrats a majority on y joint ball
for United ST ltes Senator. II l. pointed
out that the Republican senate in such an
event might ret late by doing n little un-
seating on It's own hook.

VIII Be Launched I'm Japan To-day OF
Greater Tonnage Than the DreadnOught.

Special Cdbic Despatch 10 THE sun.
TOXIC, Nov. 1.-The utmost interest is
felt in the launching of the new battleship
Satsuma, which is to take place tomorrow
nj Yokosuka in the presence of the Emperor.
The keel of the Satsuma was laid on May Is
Of last year. She has a length Of 49, feet
and beam of 49, feet. Her draught is 271a
feet. Her tonns &C., which is 10. 100. exceeds
that of Fngland's biggest battleship, the
D~readnought, by 1900 tons. Her horse
power, it IL said, will he 1900. Her speed
will be 2Oh knots.
While this is slower than the ~Dresdnought,
it is expected that the Satsuma's Myabsra
boilers will give her greater stesming sta
bility. The armament will consist of four
l2-inch guns, ten lO-inch and twelve l2O-mm
guns. The Japanese naval architects have
utilized in the construction OF the Satsuma
the valua BILE lessons learned in the late war.
