Interview Between Emperor and
Chancellor Won 5uelow Ends in
Complete Retreat of Ger
many's Ruler

u ERLIN, Nov. 17.-Forced by the
n angry tide of popular feeling
that swept the empire from end
to end, Emperor William yielded to
the nation today and promised hence
stitutional methods of conducting the
policies of Germany.
The interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
at the new palace in Potsdam this
morning, and at it's conclusion the en-
peror made formal promise to his peo-
pie that in the future he would not act
except through the chancellor and his
associate ministers.
This promise was made public in the
Reichszanzeiger, the official gazette Of
the empire. 1t was in the form of a
note printed on the front page, where
DEGREES, the texts of treaties and the
PRONUNCIATION of new laws usually ap-
pear. 1t was as follows:
During today's audience granted to
the imperial chancellor. his majesty,
the emperor and king, listened for sew
eral hours to a report by Prince von
Buelow. The imperial chancellor de-
scribed the feeling and its causes among
tnS 0CIlIidu pCOplC al COii4tCliOn Win

graph"
He also explained the position he had
taken during the course of the debates
and interpretations on this subject in
the reichstag.
He Expresses His VIII
His majesty. the emperor, received
the statements and explanations with
great earnestness and then expressed
his will as follows:
Needless of the exaggerations Of
public criticism which are regarded
by him as incorrect, his majesty per-
ceives that his principal imperial task
is to insure the stability of the policies
of the empire, under the guardianship
of constitutional responsibilities.
"In conformity Herewith, his ma
-jesty. the emperor, approves the cham
cellors utterances in the reichstag and
assures Prince Won Buelow of his con-
tinued confidence"
Prince Won Buelow had determined
upon handing in his resignation if the
emperor had not met the country's de-
mand, but as such a situation did NOT
develop the audience ended with the
emperor saying to the imperial cham
cellor that he reposed full confidence
in his wisdom.
The whole nation had awaited with
breathless suspense the word from the
palace.
So marked has been the change Of
the Germans toward their sovereign in
the last few days that crowd of some
1900 that had gathered at a church this
afternoon to attend the funeral of the
late General Count Huelin- Haeseler, At
which the emperor and empress Were
present, being unaware of the result of
the audience. greeted their majesties
almost in silence.
Only a few hats were removed ard
there were no cheers when the emperor
and empress returned to their automc-
bile and started back for Potsdam.

MRS. JACK" GARDNER MAY

Figures involved In Case Filed Against
Wealthy Rostonian Indicate
Venture Will Prove
Costly
[Ry Associated Press. l

NHICAGO, Nov. IT, 1.-THE United
States of America VS.. Two Oil
~ Paintings ct all is the title of q
suit filed by the government today for
forfeiture of works of art belonging to
Mrs. Jack Gardner of Boston and snug
gled into the United States by Mrs.
Mily Craig Chadbourne of Chicago
The filing of the suit in the federal
court today brought to light figures
which indicate that unsuccessful snug
Cling is a costly venture.
When Mrs. Chadbourne brought Mrs.
Garner's art treasures into the United
States from England last summer she
listed them to the custom house as
''household effects" valued at $4,000. An
appraiser in Chicago placed their value
at $S2,4
Mr.. Chadbourne was compelled to pay
the regular duty on this valuation,
amounting to $29,203, and a penalty of
$41, ,250, a total of $70,453.
Must Pay for Shipment
This, however, gave her no right to
the other property If she wishes to re-
gain that she must still pay the ap-
praised value of the shipment, $82, All.
No move in this direction, it is said,
has been made by either Mrs Chad
bourne or Mrs. Gardner, and in the
course of a few weeks it is possible an
italian Madonna, several tapestries of
ancient and cunning make and other
articles will go under the auctioneer'
hammer to the highest bidder.
After fling the suit United States
District Attorney Edwin w. Sims ex-
planned that it was purely civil action,
having no reference whatsoever to the
criminal statutes bearing on smuggling.
Mrs. Chadbourne's only legal connec-
ft-., t,n ut Va1rn nr1t
she may redeem the property.
Should she choose to take this course
the total cost of her experience with
the customs officials would reach
$152,S20.
Women Met in Paris
Mrs. Gardner, whose enthusiasm as
an art collector has made her known in
two continents, and Mrs. Chadbourne. a
+ tsf6floef III lie wealthy crane family OF
Chicago, met in Paris, and when Mrs
Gardner decided to return to America
she turned number of her ART
treasures over to Mrs. Chadbourne.
The latter transferred her residence
to England and used them in decorat-
ing her new home.
When she, in turn, started for her
native land she decided to bring back
with her the valuables intrusted to her
by Mrs. Gardner, with the purpose of
turning them over to their owner.
When the case came to light friends
of Mrs. Chadbourne declared that ig-
norant of business and legal TECHNICAL
ties, Mrs. Chadbourne believed the
works of art having been used in her
home for decorative purposes, really
We're household effects.
