WITH Barred HEADS
CROWD HONORS DEAD
GERMANY OBJECTS
TO DAVID JAYNE HILL
Roosevelt's Appointee to Fill
Towers Place is Distaste-
full to Emperor William
and Hill Will Probably
Not Be Finally Confirmed.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, March 25.-After a
conference between Ambassador
Sternberg and Secretary Root, it was
ascertained that letter was now en-
route frem the German capital, con-
tanning a full explanation for the
change in attitude on the part of the
German government toward David
Jayne Hill, appointed by President
Roosevelt to succeed Charlemagne
Tower, resigned, as ambassador to
Germany.
Hill at present is American minis
ter to The Hague, and was formerly
first assistant secretary of state un-
der the administration of Secretary
Hay.
In the absence of the details of the
objection, no comment could be elicit
ed in respect to the matter In any
event, it is regarded as certain that
if an expressed objection to Hill is
made by Germany, it will be decisive
so far as his appointment is con-
cerned.
The objection to Dr. Hill is one
purely personal to Emperor William.
who has simply caused it to be made
known that the American diplomatist
is persona non grata to him. The
reason of the emperor's objection is
connected with the last visit TO
America several years ago of his
brother. Prince Henry, ranking ad-
miral of the German navy. when Hill
was assistant secretary of state.

instances TO the grades given by the

TRUST RECORDS ABROAD.

The New York Journal OF Com
merce has confirmed the report
which got into circulation several
Gays ago, that the so-called beet
trust Is planning to incorporate un-
der foreign laws. This plan is due
so much to the recent conviction OF
the Western Meat company. one OF
the trusts subsidiaries, in California
as to the fear that other states will
bring similar suits.
"The plan under consideration, ~
says the Journal of Commerce. sis to
form parent company with Offices
IN London or some other Bri ,ish city
and to have the various companies
transacting business in the different
state entirely independent of one
another. These companies would
ten report direct to the home Office
abroad. and all correspondence and
accounts would be kept there In
most of the suits brought against
corporations under the various state
antitrust laws, the principal evil
dence has been obtained by the en-
forced production of books and let
ters."
The theory is that II these books
and papers were in Europe the ac-
cused corporation could not be made
to produce them. but 1t has been de.
cided that federal laws can not be
evaded by foreign Incorporation.

10 LONGER A DOUBTFUL STATE

When Judge Taft announced on
the eve of election that he considered
New York as safely Republican as
Pennsylvania, many thought him
over confident. but the returns veri-
~ his assertion. New York is Re-
publican by over 200. 900, which is
an excess of more than $4,000 over
the Roosevelt vote of four years ago.
For many years New York has
been rated pivotal state and 90
close that It Is placed in the doubt
ful column and made a battle-ground
1. close campaigns In the years
when Bryan was assaulting the
financial standards New York went
strongly Republican. Again in 1904
the real test was probably made
when two New Workers. were rivals
for the election and the question Of
state pride was not factor. In
