Refused to Testify.

Berlin. Feb 18.-At the trial to-day of Oscar Poeplau, formerly an assist ant in the archives division of the foreign office and later attached to the colonial bureau of the foreign office. Herr Erzberger, one of the leaders of the Center party, refused to testify, claiming that 1t would violate the i'm perial constitution guaranteeing i'm munity to members of the reichstag. The court thereupon decided to- arrest Herr Erzberger for contempt and fined him $25. Poepleau, however. said he would be glad to have Herr Erzberger testify. The latter then said he employed Poeplau as his stenographer and later learned the whole story of the colonial misman- agement. The court thereupon can- celled the order for Herr Erzberger's arrest but maintained the fine pre- viously imposed.
 Poeplau Is accused of taking official letters from the files of the colonial bureal and. through an intermediary giving them to Herr Roeren, one of the Center party leaders of the reich stag.

"UncIe Toms Cabin"

Perhaps there has never been so
lavish and adequate a production of
Uncle Toms Cabin as that which
VIM. Kibbie will offer amusement
lovers October 8, matinee and night,
at the Gennett. The scenes, which
are large enough to fill the most spac-
ious stage, could not easily be improv-
ed. Those representing the Ohio riv-
er in winter, the rocky pass in which
George Harris protects his family, the
st. Clair plantation, the levee at New
Orleans, the cotton fields in full bloom
and the Celestial City" are all the
most notable efforts, each picture be-
ing the reality as closely as that
which paint and canvas will permit,
and the stage perspective is so deep
that the efT<ct is exceptionally pleas
ing. The company is worthy OF it's
environment. So many skilled actors
have never before been engaged to-
gether as in this play. Frank Lee,
the eminent minstrel star, offers an
excellent study of Uncle Tom, pre-
the atmosphere and accent of
he old slave to a remarkable degree.

the greasing of the slipways is prop

of the mixture is used in the case of
