ILLUSTRATORS BUNcoEf

Berlin, June Charges made, at
Washington by various American
senators, that the German govern
ment was endeavoring to influence tie
tariff legislation in the United States
by supplying official information re-
garding wages, which upon examina-
tion proved to be much higher than
the wages attributed to German man
ufactures in the hearings before the
ways and means committee of the
house, has caused disagreeable inn
preston in the governmental offices
here. This is especially the case at
the ministry of the interior and the
foreign Office, where the information
in question was prepared in reply to
a request sent in by the state depart
ment.
Attacks the Government.
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 knowledge
of German wages, it is alleged, made
it possible to adjust new tariff to
a level where German goods could not
be exported to the United States. An
abstract Of the foreign Offices com
munication through Ambassador Hill,
to the state department, appeared in
these dispatches March 2S. and was
later reproduced in German newspa-
pers.
1t brought out savage attacks on the
government for yielding to the 'im-
prudent demands of 'Yanks' for the
official report of wages. thus arming
Germanys competitors with vital in
formation"
Pigeon HoIed in U. S.
The mass of reports was first col
lected in the ministry Of the interior
and then in the trade division of the
foreign Office. 1t was transmitted
about March 2, and arrived at Wash
ington about April s. being sent in
sdaapaicata both through Ambassador
Hill and Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador at Washington.
Some surprise is expressed here that
for two months the material appar-
emily did not reach the American
congress. or IL it did reach either
house it must have been pigeon holed.
The German officials have been en-
during the attacks at home, but they
are amazed at the accusation from
America that they acted strangely In
complying with the request of the
American government.
The matter is likely to come up in
the Reichstag.

Negro conference in this city today.
Asking why this was permitted by

quoted John Temple Graves as saying
that the mob stands e, the most po-
tential bulwark between the women OF

crime as would precipitate the annihi-
lation of the negro race. All l-now
that this is untrue. Mrs. Barnett said:

Last week 1t was announced that
Senator Hansbrough had resigned the

was given out that the resignation
was due to a cut in the salary from
$500 to $4,000. According to a state
ment by Mr.. Hansbrough today this
was not the true cause of the resig-
nation. The North Dakotan said:
Certain senator's agreed to the ap-
pointment Of myself and former Sem
ator Hemmingway TO a place on the
commission at a salary of $500 each.
Soon afterwards two senators came
to me and stated that Senator Nc
