GERMANS ANCERED
BY SENATE CHARGES
Information Com planned Of Was
Sent by Request

Berlin, June 1.-The charges made
at Washington by various American
senators that the German government
was endeavoring to influence tariff
legislation in the United States by
supplying official information regard
Ing wages, which upon examination
proved them to be much higher than
the wages attributed to German man
ufacturers in the hearings before the
ways and means committee of the
house, has caused a disagreeable i'm
preston in governmental Offices here.
This is especially the case at the min
tstry of the interior and the foreign
Office, where the information in ques-
ton was prepared in reply to a re-
quest sent in by the state department.
The German government has been
subjected during the past two months
to attacks by German trade journals
for having supplied America. with
German trade secrets. This knowl-
edge of German wages, it is alleged,
made 1t possible to adjust the new
tariff to level where German goods
could not be exported to the United
States. The abstract Of the foreign
Offices communication through Am
bassador Hill to the state department
appeared in these dispatches March
20 and was later reproduced in the
German newspapers. It brought out
savage attacks on the government for
yielding to the ''impudent demands of
the Yankees" for official reports on
wages, thus arming Germany's COM
petitors with vital information.
German officials have been endur-
Ing attacks at home, but they are
amazed at the accusation from Amer
lea that they acted "impertinently" in
complying with the request of the
American government.

WANTS BERTH PRICES EQUAL
Interstate Board Hears Charges Laid
by st. Paul Man.

py 81. raul MAN.. .n.
Washington, June 2.-The inter,
state commerce commission heard
oral arguments in the case of George
F. Lotus Of st. Paul against the Pull
man Palace Car company, in which
the question Of rates for sleeping car
berths between st. Paul and Chicago
and st. Paul and the Pacific coast Is
involved. The point to be determined
is whether the railroads shall be per-
mitted to charge as much for an upper
as for lower berth.
The commission also heard argu-
ments in the case of James Manahan
against the Northern Pacific and
other railroads operating between the
Twin Cities and Duluth, involving al
legged excessive charges for the trans
portation of hard and soft coal from
the lakes to the Twin Cities. In this
case 1t is charged that the people of
the Northwest are being mulcted of
about $75O,O00 annually because of the
imposition of high rates.

IF IT HAD BEEN THE PRESIDENT.

Suppose, for moment, that it was
the chief executive of the American
state instead of the chief of the
English state whose race horse had
won the greatest racing event in his
own country. #.
We do not believe that even
Mr.. Garfield of Saratoga and New
York would receive the news with
out little shock to some dormant
instinct within him. And from
most of the 9O,OOO,OOO rest of US
there would arise a howl of disap-
probation that might empty the
White House of its tenant. Yet few
of us think worse of the King of
England because he chooses to in
vest some of his fortune in demon
strating the ability of one horse
to run faster than another horse.
Nor do we utter one word of pro-
test because the president of France
elects to spend every pleasant Sum-
day afternoon in the government
box" at the race track.
All of which indicates, perhaps,
that the republic is shaking itself
free from the annoying habit of
consistency and adopting more
freely the gospel of live and let
live.
