Serious Charges Made
Against Him.
INQUIRY TOBE THOROUGH
Embassy Secretary Said to Have Per-
mitted Friends to Profit by Customs
Courtesies Accorded Him.

Secretary of State Bryan yesterday ad-
mitted that Post Wheeler, secretary Of
the Embassy at Rome. mas been sum-
moned home to reply to charges brought
against him by a fellOw-Countryman.
These charges allege that Mr.. Wheeler
has been guilty of gross abuses OF the
customs courtesies extended him as an
American diplomatic officer by the Italian
government.
According to the charges. Mr.. Wheeler
has been permitted his friends in Rome
to profit by the exemption from payment
of customs duties accorded him by the
Italian government. One member Of the
American colony is alleged to have made
the calculation that Mr.. Wheeler has
brought into Italy enough gasoline to
keep his light runabout going constantly
for the next seven years. There is 9
heavy duty on gasoline in Italy, and in
addition there is an internal tax on it.
Mr.. Bryan and other State Department
officials yesterday declined to comment
on the charges against Mr.. Wheeler. 1t
was indicted, however, that they are re-
garded seriously, and that they will be
by no means passed over without full

Monday the bill will be debated and
read under the five-minUte rule, and the
leaders hope to pass it within the week.
Secretary of State Bryan's approval OF
the administration currency bill was one
reason for his opposition to the measure.
Speaking against the bill, Kahn said:
'I am rather doubtful of the success Of
this bill for another reason than those
urged on the floor. 1t has the unquali-

favored by Bryan. The roll call showed

minority leader, John Sharp Williams,

ABSCONDNG SECRETARY
SURRENDERS TO POLICE
Raymond E. Smith, Accused of Rob
bing Trust Company of $500, 900,
Taken to Jail.

Railway, n. J.. Sept 13.-Raymond E
Smith. the absconding secretary of the
Roseville Trust Company, of Newark,
surrendered TO the police here tonight and
was taken to Newark in an automobile.
The surrender was the result Of an agree
ment between counsel.
The shortage in the funds Of the trust
company discovered after the disappear
ance OF Smith has been estimated at
about $4,000. It has been impossible to
arrive at correct appraisal of assets of
the concern because of doubt as to the
meaning of certain entries made by Smith
on the books of the concern.
Smith is accused of absconding with
s3Ss.Ooo. He vanished on August 81 last,
while the books were being examined
He was supposed to have gone - the
Pacific Coast with a young woman from
Orange, \. J. A reward of 1900 was
offered for his capture.
A few days ago lawyers on behalf of
Smith conferred with the prosecutor of
Essex County and arranged for Smiths
surrender.

SOCIALISM DISCUSSED
At STRIKE HEARING
Senate Committee Hears Witnesses
Discuss Party's Participation in
West Virginia Troubles.
INQUIRY SOON TO CONCLUDE

81 am investigating the Socialist
party" declared z. T. Vinson. attorney
for the mine operators in West Vir-
ginia, before the Senate Investigating
Committee yesterday.
This trouble is a Socialist move
ment. All the troubles are due to the
Socialist party and the United Mine
workers. who have been made a part
of that party.
W. II. Thompson, Of Huntington, w.
Va, and C. H. Boswell, of Charleston,
w. Va, editors of Socialist papers
which were confiscated by military au-
thorities acting under orders OF the
Governor of West Virginia, testified
before the committee.
yinson examined them respecting the
theories of the Socialist party, and
when A. NJ. Belcher. attorney for the
limited Mine Workers, protested, Vim
son then declared that 1t really is the
Socialist party on trial during the pend
ing investigation
THOMPSON and Boswell denied they
ever melted violence and said they were
arrested and imprisoned without being
informed of the charges against them.
Mrs. w. H. Thompson told the COM
rnittee how the civil authorities searched
her home for papers bearing on the
activities of her husband.
Boswell refused to answer questions
regarding the part he played in send
ing ammunition into the Paint and Cabin
Creek districts. He stated that he un-
derstood that a criminal indictment
would be made against him in West Vir-
einia. and that his answer necessarily
would involve that proceeding.
Senator Borah objected to a discus
sion of Socialist theories except as they
bore directly on troubles in the Paint
and Cabin Creek districts.
1--WE can't go into the theory Of
parties." said Senator Borah. except as
il is pertinent to this question. The So
cialist theory won't hurt US until we try
IL. and even then 1t is debatable."
The investigation probably will be con-
cluded this week.

Phoenixville, Pa, Sept. 13.-Secretary OF
State Bryan denies that he is a vaude-
william or a peanut Secretary Of STATE" ."
or that he has made a travesty Of di-
plomacy as alleged by numerous leading
newspapers abroad and at home.
The Secretary of State has confided
his views to persons with whom he has
come in contact on the ChautauQua cir
cCit
When Secretary Bryan learned that his
remarks had been repeated, he verihed
them to a certain extent in an interview.
He asserted that he is a much-maligned
individual He says that he objects to
being called a mountebank or trapeze
performer, and referred 20 descriptions
of his Chester lecture which appeared In
several newspapers OF the country sew
eral days ago.
How is it," demanded the Secretary,
that some newspaper men so color the
truth as to make it untruthful and ri
diculous?'
1t was suggested to the Secretary Of
State that perhaps these newspaper men
had orders TO look upon the humorous
SIDE of his ChautauQua lecture.
Resents Foreign Criticism.
They might lose their positions If they
didn't obey orders" was suggested.
Secretary Bryan seemed to get a lit
tie fiustered at this answer and de-
manded:
Then If some person offered these
newspaper men $1,000 to go out and kill
a man, they would do so just to earn
the money!"
The fact that the Secretary has been
the target for editorials In many of the
papers throughout the United States did
not appear to bother him greatly but
the attacks of the foreign newspapers
seemed to have peeved Secretary Bryan.
What right have they to declare that
1 am making a travesty OF diplomacy?"
he said. They do not know the real
facts They should make an investiga-
ton before they make the wild state

| Austrian people to disclose the facts
of his sons death, but he absolutely
declined. He has lost a good bit of his
former boundless popularity as a re-
suit.
The fact is that one of the arch
tain disclosures to Crown Prince Ru-
dclf which proved that an insurmount-
| able barrier existed between him and
his inamorita. the Baroness Marie Vet
schera; in short that any affection be-
tween them as lovers was out of the
question.
She was one of the Meyerling hunting
party. The crown prince had the first
chance to tell her so only on that occa-
| sion. Overexcited by the champagne
she also had INDUCED in and maddened
by the horrible news revealed to her,
the unfortunate woman attacked Ru-
| dolf with bottle. dealing him, who
was too intoxicated to get out of her
reach, several murderous blows on his
head When the other members of the
dinner party-half-drunken roysterers-
bust into the room and realized what
had taken place. they shot her down.
The brother of the Inflated baroness,
who has SO often been mentioned as
being present on that night, and as the
"avenger of his sisters honor" was not
crown prince he would have had to have
bullet left for himself Army officers
who attack or assassinate the sacred
person of royalty do not survive. He
was captain OF the Radetzky Hussars,
and at the time was stationed at Buda-
pest.
But there is-or had I better say there
was-one other man who knew all the
horrid details of the Meyerling tragedy.
This is John Ortiz" the Austrian Arch
duke Johann Salvador, who disappeared
so completely after n fierce dispute with
his uncle, the Emperor, during which
the madcap, in a fit of ungovernable
rage, tore off his chain of the Order OF
the Golden Fleece (the highest priced
Hapsburg CBourbon-SpanishJ decoration
and worn only by royalty and flung it
at his sovereign. But where is John
Orth?' Who can tell what has been
his fate after leaving Buenos Aires on
board his ship. the Margherita. for VAL
paraiso, these many years ago?
And yet there are those I'm Austria who
are firmly convinced that the missing
archduke is alive and in purposeful hid
ing somewhere IN the antipodes. 1t is re-
called that after that terrible encounter,
brought about by trifiing breach OF
military discipline, the young archduke
exclaimed that he was about to leave
Austria forever, that he renowned all his
titles, dignities. and right of succession
to the thrones of the Hapsburgs, and de-
sired henceforth to be known as plain
Johann Ortiz" To all of which the en-
ragged Emperor replied that he was free
to 60 where he pleased and TO adopt any
name that he chose, but that, once he
had quilted Austria, he would be arrested
as a renegade il ever he attempted to re-
cross the frontier.
Johann Orth's last words to his sister,
however, were these: Never under any
circumstances, believe that l am dead,
for one day I shall return, when Franz
Josef will be no more and fight for my
fatherland, which will sorely need me"
