GERMANY FEARS
EXHIBITION OF
U.S.. MACHINERY
Imperial Government Not
to Morally Support
Enterprise
PROMOTERS WORRY
Interests See in Venture
Danger to Home
Industry
PROMOTERS WORRY
[Associated Pressl

II ERLIN, Feb. 24.-The statement of
n Herr Delbrueck, minister of in
terror, in the reichstag, the gov
ernment had not given and would not
give material or moral support to the
American exhibition of machinery in
this city next summer has caused
astonlshment on the part of the pro-
moters of the exposition.
The promoters are German capital
lists, such as Isado ore Loewe of the
Mauser rifle mandatory and Ludwig
Loewe of the machine tool works, who
obtained before approaching Americans
on the subject what they thought was
the moral support of the imperial gov
ernment. When Baron Won Branden-
stein went to the United States as the
representative of the exposition man
agement one of the attaches of the
German embassy at Washington, Baron
Hartmann Won Richthofen, was as
signed to accompany him to New York
and assist him in his mission. They
visited prominent New Workers, and it
was understood that the idea of the
foreign office was to help the enterprise
as far as possible morally without COM
mitting the government to official or
financial obligations.
Many distinguished Americans who
signed the appeal ITO American indus
tries for participation in the exposition
did so under the impression that this
German enterprise was supported
morally by the German government.
Prince Henry Of Prussia is chairman
of the German reception committee,
and among those associated with him
are Grand Duke Adolph Frederick of
Mecklenburg- -Strelitz, Prince Hatz-
feldt and Prince Henickel Donners-
marck.
Since the exposition was launched
some of the machinery interests of
Germany have appeared to think that
there was danger ahead for the Ger
man industry. Various newspapers,
especially the Rhenisch Westphaelische
Zeitung, published at Essen, have op-
posed the American exhibit. Apparent
ly 1t was the recognition of these OBJ
jections that led Minister Delbrueck TO
make the declaration on behalf of the
government.
He was speaking yesterday as the
representative of the chancellor, and
doubt Is expressed whether he knew
that the government had actually given
it's moral support to the enterprise. II
also has been understood here that the
appointment of commissioners by the
department of commerce and labor of
the United States was due to the desire
of the American government to aid an
undertaking already strongly supported
by the German government.

FIRST TEST WINS
BY BARE MARGIN
Fiscal Amendment Is Re-
jected by Vote, 285
to 254
EXCITEMENT REIGNS
MiniStry'S Existence De-
pends on Dealing with
House of Lords Veto
ASSOCIATED Pressl

7 ONDON, Feb. 24-The first trial of
strength in the new parliament
"a occurred tonight at a crowded
session of the house of commons, when
Austen Chamberlain's fiscal amend
ment was rejected by q vote of 2S5
to 254.
Although victorious only by a mar
row majority, the government may re-
gard the result as satisfactory, mas
much as there was no cross voting
and no evidence of any intention on
the part of the dlscontented groups to
overthrow the ministry.
All the Nationalists, O'Brienists as
well as Redmondites, abstained from
voting. The Laborites voted with the
government, and three Liberals alb
stained.
Division was taken amid scene of
great excitement, and the figures as
announced, were received with tremen-
dous opposition cheering.
The premier, having given notice he
would move Monday that government
business take precedence until March
"a, the house adjourned
The governments existence now will
depend on the production of plan
satisfactory to the NationalistS and
Radicals for dealing in a drastic man
ner with the house of lords veto.
Freemans Journal of Dublin tomor-
row will say: "It cannot be stated with
too much emphasis that the Irish party
has not budged hairs breadth from
the policy which John Redmond has
laid down. Unless the government
speedily produces veto scheme ana
presses it to an issue, the Irish party
will enter on a policy of vigorous op-
position to the government with the re-
suit that the ministry either will be
defeated in a few days or VIII be con-
tented to eke out contemplate eX-
istence by the aid Of Balfour's sup
porters."
Freemans Journal further explains
that it was not out of consideration
for the government that the National
lists abstained from voting, but be-
cause they did not desire to commit
themselves to tariff reform policy or
to take a step that would divert the
issue of the next elections from the
house of lords to the tariff
Meetings of Liberal and Radical
groups daily are sending deputations to
Premier Asduith, urging him to take
strong line on the veto question.

NO NELLIE BLY, SPEED
FOR U. P. FREIGHT TRAINS
Supt. Parks of Hartman Line Testifies
at Hearing on Governments
Suit to Stop Merger

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Testimony
showing why the Southern Pacific had
heightened its freight train schedules
was piled up today at the hearing in
the governments suit to dissolve the
Union Pacific Southern Pacific merger.
Superintendent VIM. L. Park of the
Union Pacific sketched the history or
the famous Nellie Bly, special freight
which was put on by the Union Pacfflc
in it's war with the Oregon short line
making the run on passenger train
schedule between Council Blufts and
ogden in thirty-two hours.
Superintendent Park said he rode
several times on this train and con-
sidered it's speed unsafe. The train
was withdrawn.
Increasing traffic on the Union Pa
cific gradually demoralized train
schedules. Mr.. Park testified, the cli-
max being reached during the fall and
winter following the San Francisco
fire. The congestion forced a general
slowing up of running time.

CIRCUS DAY NEAR AT HAND.
Everybody in Augusta Waiting fo
Next Thursday, July z.

With much Impotence young
Americans in and around Augusta are
| watching the calendar and wishing
for the dawn of next Thursday, July
IL, which will bring the Great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Bic
United Shows to town for a days
stay. And the old folks are by nc
means Indifferent to the event. Fol
two or three weeks they have beer
stared in the face as they go to and
fro between house and office by sew
! eral hundred beautiful women in
spangles, artistically fattened out
against billboards and dead walls
They have been glared at by the
blood sweating behemoth of holy
writ and scowled at by the king OF
beasts The old circus excitement OF
past days has revived an appetite in
their breasts that only visit to the
show, the smell of the sawdust and the
crack of whips can appease.
The show will arrive on four specia
trains and BUILD its city of tents dur
ing the dim hours of the morning
The parade will leave the grounds al
10 o'clock and move over the principa
streets, There will be two perform
ances here, each the same as those
given in all the big cities. There viii
be new menagerie, which cost the
circus owners $1,0OO,000 and is a com
plete library of natural history. with
nothing Of interest in the animal way
missing. The 10 big acts on the lone
program will be presented by the $50
best circus stars of Europe, Asia and
America. There will be thrillers
garole.
A record breaking crowd will un-
doubtedly be on hand to see the parade
and visit the show. The circus has
aroused more enthusiasm than was
ever before felt here at the approach
of similar event. Those who wish
to keep out of the jam on the show
grounds are advised to get their
tickets in advance at the downtow
office of the circus in Burns drug
store. The office will open early on
the morning of show day and reserved
seats and admission will be sold there
at the regular prices.
The twenty four hour man and his
assistants are expected to arrive in
the city today to make final prepara-
tons for the coming of the army Of
workmen and performers, the $50 wild
animals and the 900 horses. All the
food and provisions needed here will
be bought in the local markets.
2 News from other points says that
never before in the remarkable his
tory of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Big United Shows has this
best of all amusement enterprises
made so many extensive improvements
as during the years it has passed this
city by. In New York City, where it
makes it's home, it is pronounced the
most popular circus in the world as
well as the most enterprising.
