Emissaries Who Make Reports on

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BERLIN, May 21.-Chicago's dark
and dirty streets and alleged city hall
grating are being held up throughout
Germany as examples of the fact that
the Germans have everything to shun
and nothing to learn from American
form of government.
These conclusions are drawn from
the elaborate report of Government
Councillor Opperman, one of the kais-
er's numerous emissaries to the United
States.
The report was recently laid before
the Prussian diet and is now provoking
wide comment in the German press.
Herr Opperman asserts he learned
that the funds destined for cleaning
and paving the streets of Chicago "usu-
ally stick to the fingers of the city
officials"
He singles out this discovery as
typical of the conditions in most of the
American cities.
The whole report tends to assure
Germans that America is far from be-
ing the land of prosperity, freedom,
universal happiness and perfection it
is commonly painted.

to conference.
The committee will not ask that in

conference.
There was no disposition to crticise
the amendment comforting jurisdiction
on the courts to review orders made
by the interstate commerce commits
sion for in the house committee as

contended that the bill as 1t was passed

Amendment Inconsistent
This amendment and others which
collectively are known as the Allison

agreed to by the house conferees.
The amendment which gave the house
committee the greatest concern tonight
was that making pipe lines common
carriers, which the committee thought
inconsistent with the amendment pro-
hibiting common carriers from produce

Formal action was not had on any of
the amendments and therefore the
