AMERICAN TREATED WELL.
Sentence Against AutOist Not En-.
forced Rigorouaiy.

In response to inquiries from friends of
Emil Simon, the young American under
sentence in Germany for the killing of
woman in an automobile accident. the
State Department has ascertained the de-
sired information from the United States
Embassy In Berlin.
According TO the American Ambassador.
Mr.. SjmOn's sentence. which was three
months Imprisonment was generally re-
garded as most lenient, IN view of the
circumstances Of his offense. He has
been treated with the utmost kindness
and consideration during his imprison-
ment, permitted TO exercise in the gar
den. and otherwise enjoy himself An
appeal for his pardon has been submitted
70 the Emperor and is now pending. The
American Embassy has been doing every
thing possible for the young man II is
said that the young mans failure to stop
after the accident pTetudiced the German
authorities against him.
The Washington herald., 1907-09-15

It is believed that further amendment
Of this passage Is possible. II will thus
be seen that the advantages obtained
by the German Bank exceed by little
those enjoyed by the subjects Of other
powers under existing treaties.

d Co.-"The course Of prices TODAY IS
conclusive proof that yesterdays raUv
and to-day's high opening were caused bv
nothing other than short covering. Wise
people sold stock yesterday afternoon and
again this morning, and the effect was
that after the first fifteen minutes pres-
sure was renewed on the industrials and
while the Copper group and Smclte~s de
clined materially the bulk OF the selling
was directed against Steel common and
preferred, each showing lack Of proper
support and making new low records. The
railroads sold of quietly, mostly in sym
pathy with the weakness in Steel. For
Inc time being il is simply a traders
market, In which on sufficient weakness
conservative purchases seem in order. but
