SIMS KNOWS SOMETHING.
Rumor Questions the Good Faith of
the Alton

CHICAGO, September 5.-Echoes of the
Chicago and Alton immunity proceedings
died away with the departure from Chi
cago yesterday of the principals in the
federal court proceedings. Judge K. NJ
Lands returned to his interrupted vaca-
ton in Indiana, and District Attorney
Sims rejoined his family in their summer
home in Michigan. Neither will return
until the evening of the continued grand
jury session, September "a. Before that
date conferences between Mr.. Sims, Special
District Attorney Wilkerson and Attorney
General Bonaparte will be held in Wash
ington 1t Is expected that the situation
will be cleared up then, and that definite
action in the case will ensue at the next
court session
Judge Landis' words in reference to the
governments promise of immunity to the
Alton, upon which he dwelt when dismiss
ing the grand jury August IA for its re-
cess, are recalled now possessing con-
siderable significance. At that time he
apparently limited that II the railroad COM
pany allowed its employees to hold back
facts or mislead the investigation in any
way, 1t was breach OF faith from the
government's standpoint. He said. In part
What this arrangement was the court
does not know, but the court assumes 1t
possibly may have provided that the Chi
cago and Alton Company should emanci-
pate those who act and speak for it from
all obligation to deceive and mislead the
jury in the trial lately closed. If this be
true, whatever officer OF the Department
of Justice is charged with the task Of de-
termining what shall be the department s

full consideration the transcript of the tes-
tmony of these railway agents In order
that he may intelligently decide whether
under the district attorneys arrangement

BERLIN, September 25.-The develop
ment Of events at Casa Blanca appears to
be regarded with some dstrust by the
German government. Foreign Secretary
Tschirsky, in conversation with representa-
tives of the powers who have visited the
foreign office on various matters of busi-
ness and who have taken the opportunity
to ascertain the views of the foreign sec
retary on the Moroccan situation, has
stated that Germany accepted fully the
French assurances that the operations of
the allied forces in Morocco would be
within the terms Of the Alseciras conven-
ton. Then Herr Tschirsky has casually
added, in substance, that, of course. the
Algeciras convention did not contemplate
France and Spain undertaking to suppress
a civil in Morocco. This reservation
discloses the German Interpretation Of the
Algeciras convention. and shows that any
extensive military operations the part
of the allies must either arouse contro-
versy or be preceded by the consent Of the
Interested powers. The German attitude
at present is simply to await develop
ments. The British government seems to
be waiting to see what Germany will do,
and the latter power, the correspondent Of
the Associated Press is informed. is de-
termined to prevent the Experimentation
of Morocco"
Importers File Claims.
Herr Tschirsky today received three lead
ing German importers and exporters Of
Casa Blanca--Herren Ficke, Mannesmann
and Opitz-who went to the foreign office to
file with the government claims for COM
pensation for the needless destruction by
the French, as they affirm, of German prop
erty at Casa Blanca. The merchants left
with Herr Tschirsky a written account OF
the bombardmeht of Casa Blanca including
an expression of their opinion that the
tion of the French was hasty. incautious
and provocative and that proba bly, no fight
ing would have occurred had the French
consul, NJ Aa!pertuy, who is esteemed as
being Iuan Of much judgment, been at
Casa Blanca at the time On the other
hand the provisional representative Of NJ.
Malpertuy considered by the German
merchants to have unadvisediy agreed with
the French commanders in their eager
ness to give the Moors good lesson"
Herr Ischirsky dismissed the three Ger
man merchants with a promise that he
would consider and investigate their claims.
