for trial here today when II. c. Ogden.
wealthy publisher of number of
West Virginia newspapers. was sum-
moned before the federal district court
to answer to a charge of contempt.
The legal tangle. which involved the
prosecution of A. Leo We'll, of Pitts
burg, general counsel for the light
company, for III alleged attempt to
bride members of the commission and
the injection into the proceedings OF
the name of Governor II. d. Hatfield
on the charge that he ordered the
commission to lower the light com
pany's rates or resign, has claimed the
attention of West Virginia for more
than a year. The light company car
ried its case to the federal courts and
Judge A. G. Dayton, whose judicial
acts were about to be investigated by
a congressional committee, named j.
w. Vanderyort as master to take the
testimony. While this was being done
in Wheeling, Mr. We'll in open court
charged that Mr. Ogden's newspapers
had been unjust to the light company
and the court and the contempt pro-
ceedings followed.
Judge Waddell. of Richmond. Va.
was to sit for Judge Dayton during the
Counsel for ogden when the case
opened moved that. the action be
quashed on the ground that the al
legged contempt was not covered by the
statute and arguments of this motion
were in progress when the noon re-
cess was taken.

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE sit

Itary Lansing, after taking several
days to examine the German reply

to confer with President Wilson. The
original plan, 1t was explained. was
for the president and Mr.. Lansing to-
confer and then to have the secretary
of stats draft a note to be submitteds
to the cabinet on the presidents re-
turn to Washington. Now the belief
sing, working Independently. will pre-
pare memoranda and confer after
their ideas have matured. A definite
announcement is expected later on
whether Mr.. Lansing will 80 to Cor

Count Won Bernstorn has asked Sec.
rotary Lansing IL he wished to see him
and the secretary is understood to have
replied that he does after he has care
fully examined the situation. Inc 3kn-
bassador is seeking information on
the attitude OF the American govern
ment toward the German reply. After
Mr.. Lansing has consulted President
Wilson 1t is not unlikely that some
information will be given to the Ger
man ambassador of the seriousness
with which the United States govern
nent regards the crisis.
Secretary Lansing has begun Work
on draft of reply to Germany tat
has not given anyone the s1ighfest

however. as have been received from
the white House as we'll as the state
department point to the framing OF
policy which will express even more
enphaticalIy than before the views OF
the United States and the belief Is
growing that the next note may tn-
cIude some idea of the intentions OF
the American government, If It de-
mands are not met.
The general comment in executive
quarters today was that the next
American note would define the posi-
ton of the United States even more
clearly so that Germany's subsequent
attitude would definitely determine
whether diplomatic relations were 70
