information to the effect that the
emperor has finally refused to re-
ceiye Mr. Hill, it is now suggested
that instead of proceeding at once
to this extreme point, the German
foreign Office has resorted to the
more delicate and diplomatic plan
of approaching this purpose of pre-
venting DR.. Hill from coming to
Berlin in the character of ambassa-
dor by allowing Mr.. Tower to be-
come acquainted with the fact that
there are objections to the new ap-
pointee and then it would be polite,
therefore, not to press the appoint
ment to the point where it would
become necessary to make a formal
matter of DR.. Hills unavailability

Various Theories Advanced as to
Why Hill Is Not Acceptable,
But None Are Official
Reasons Not Known.

Washington, March 27.-Just
why, in these days of frequent cable
communication, it should be neces-
sary for the state department to wait
a week or ten days for the arrival of
letter to learn the exact nature of
the representations made to this gov
ernment by Germany in connection
with the selection of Dr. David J.
Hill as American ambassador to Ber-
lin is not clear, yet, according to of
ficial announcement, such is the
case. The fact is that as far as official
records go the state department is
not even yet possessed of the infor
nation that DR.. Hills selection was
not acceptable to the German en-
peror. 1t does know, however, that
Ambassador Tower, whom Dr. Hill
was to succeed, has dispatched let
ter from Berlin to the state depart
ment in relation to this matter and
as public interest on the subject in

to call on Mr., Tower to anticipate
his letter by cabling the substance

I tirI'enCN

Washington, March 27.-Some
/ progress was made toward the dis
POSITION of the Aldrich currency bill
yesterday Notwithstanding the fact
that it was not taken up until late
in the session, which was continued
until an unusually late hour when ad-
/ journment was reached at 6:12 p.
m, several amendments had been
considered and disposed of
Senator Simmons spoke at length
on his amendment reducing the in
terest to be paid on the emergency
currency to one-quarter of 1 per
cent during the first three months
of its issue and one-half of l per
cent after that period
Speaking of the attitude of New
York bankers on the pending bill,
Mr. Depew read a letter declaring
that the New York State Bankers
association disapproves of the pro-
posed legislation and favors an as
set currency.
Mr CulDerson spoke against the
bond feature of the bill.
The amendments proposed by Mr.
Simmons were defeated
Senator Nelson renewed his
amendment requiring banks to pay
interest on deposits of government
funds at a rate of not less than
per cent month. Earlier in the day
this amendment had received the
Endorsement of the committee on
finance and was therefore slated for
acceptance.

per cent the minimum interest to be
charged, but the motion was defeat

THE RECORD REVIEWED
SKINNER AND REPRE-
SENTATIVE JAMES SPEAK
ON BAILEYISM.

Senator Skinner and Representa-
tive James spoke in the district
court room Thursday night under
the auspices of the Waxahachie
Democratic Anti-Bailey club. About
two hundred voters gave the speak
ers an appreciative hearing and an
enthusiastic appreciation of their ad-
dresses.
j. w. Singleton, president of the
club, presided over the meeting and
introduced the speakers.
Representative James spoke first
devoting about twenty minutes to
the fight that is now going on in the
democratic party of Texas. He said
no question was ever settled until it
was settled right, and the place to
settle the Bailey question is in the
school house, at the crossroads
store, in the blacksmith shops and
at the firesides. Mr.. James then
called attention to some facts
brought out in the legislative inves-
tigation, and said it was proved be
yond doubt that Bailey was a lob
byist before the twenty-seyenth leg
islature.
Senator Skinner spoke nearly two
hours and when he said something
about closing he was asked to go
ahead. The argument of Mr. Skinner
was lucid, forceful and convincing.

BAILEY WAR IN TEAA.S
Junior Senator's FrienGs to aa.e
Meeting in Fort Worth.

Fort Worth, Tex, Mar 27.--Re-
spending to the call of the Bailey
campaign committee, Texas demc-
Gratis who have remained true in
their allegiance to the Texas senator
will assemble here tomorrow to en-
dorse Bailey as a candidate for dai-
egate-atlarge to the Denver conven-
ton.
The committee calls attention 70
the fact that Senator Bailey did not
announce as candidate for delegate
until his enemies had declared that
he should not be a delegate, and
that his sole reason for entering up
on the campaign was to meet the
test of strength which his opponents
had prepared.

He began his remarks with a quota
ton from a speech delivered by the
late Governor Hogg, in which that
illustrious statesman said, when
the people are clashing in their
views the republic and state are
safe. When storms come the ele-
ments are purified. Boys, when you
sleep your liberty and peace are in
danger"
Mr.. Skinner gave an able defense
OF his course in the thirtieth legis-
lature and then went into a thorough
and complete discussion of the in
vestigation of Senator Bailey's con-
nection with the Waters Pierce Oil
company. Some of the more import
ant features of the testimony ad-
duced were taken up piece by piece,
dissected and analyzed. He said he
believed it was due the people of
Texas and due him against whom
the accusations had been lodged to
have a complete investigation, and
for that reason he voted against
closing until the testimony of H.
Clay Pierce had been obtained He

IN the swamp here a week ago, labor
eTs today began draining the pCnc
where the body was found. Prosecutor
VickeTs ordered this, believing some
thing besides the police endeavors should
be relied upon to solve the mystery.
Part Of the clothing torn from the
victims body to prevent Identification
is still missing. It is hoped this, at
least, Will be brought to light by the
draining of the pond.
Another slight clue which may lead
TO an Identification was offered Police
Magistrate Branegan today. He was
informed that a married woman OF
Camden, who answers the description
OF the victim, has been missing since
Christmas morning. This woman had
intended spending the HOLIDAYS with a
woman friend at Kearney, y. J II
was this friend who gave the fact to
the magistrate.

Magistrate Branegan today refused TO
d1Vulge me names either Of the missing
woman or her friend at Kearnev until
the matter is investigated.
A detective was sent to Camden today
TO interview the husband and investigate
the case, In the hope that the clue will
give the officers something TO work on.
