SAYS TURKEY TREATS
| ALL RELIGIONS FAIRLY
German Ambassador Attributes Re.
cent Outbreak Against Jews to
''Overzealous" Officials.

declaration that tolerance toward all
religious beliefs has been shown by
the Turkish government and that the
disturbances to the Jews in Palestine
were caused by overzealousness of
local turkish authorities was made in
statement issued today by Count Won
Bernstorff. German ambassador here.
The statement follows:
W late numerous alarming reports
concerning the situation of the Jewish
population of Palestine have arrived
here.
Statement of Condition.
Several times have published official
news, to which I can add today:
The government in Constantinople
has since the outbreak Of war strict
ly adhered to its traditional tolerant
attitude toward all religions. and there
has never been an anti-Jewish nor
antt-Zfonistic feeling in Constantine
pie. The political unrest which for
some time disturbed the Jewish popu-
lation of Palestine had been caused by
the overzealous attitude of local Turk
ish authorities.
But. luckily. they have in no place
been followed by excuses which could
not be entirely repaired. The expulsion
of several thousand Jews from Pales-
tine has also, without the permission
from Contantinople. been ordered by
local military authorities, who did not
wish to allow Jews of foreign nation
ality to remain there. The Turkish
government has, however, now taken
severe measures and has recalled the
official who is chiefly to blame for
the unrest among the Jewish popula-
ton.
Co-Operates With U. S. Ambassador.
''The German ambassador in Con-
stantinople. closely cooperating will
Ambassador Morgenthau. has during
all this time given much attention te
the Jewish question and has urged the
German consular officials in Turkey te
report regularly on local events. The
Zionistic representatives in Palestine
as well as in Constantinople, have also
been given opportunity to make repre-
sensations to the Turkish government
through the intermediary of the Ger
man ambassador and Ambassador Nor
genthau. 1t will, therefore, in future be
DO ssible to prevent any local anti
Jewish agitation

FORG[R KING IS
SENTENCED To
WAUPUN FOR TERM
US Ask to Withdraw
Plea of Guiltyto Forgery,
But Are Overru1ed.

George adler" alias Barnhardt,
alias William Saddler, was sentenced
to five years at Waupun by Judge
Muckleston at Waukesha. ATTORNEYS
jacobson and Merton for the defendant
asked that his plea of guilty to having
a forged instrument with intent to
utter it, be withdrawn. The court re-
marked that it was hardly proper pro-
eedure to allow him to dismiss the
jury just previous to time for sentence.
and then move withdrawal of the plea.
He denied the motion.
Geo. Adler known throughout the
southwest as j. W. Barnhardt, president
and director of bank at Forest City,
Ark, threw up the sponge today and
resigned himself to spend the rest Of
his life in prison.
With fifty -four cities in twenty states
begging Waukesha to let them try him
for forgeries, Adler, instead of maxim g
the expected desperate fight for acquit-
tai, suddenly announced plea Of guilty
and was sentenced on Friday.
His sentence ends career which the
Pinkertons say involved forgeries of
from $500, 900 to 81, 900, 600, and when
his term is served in Wisconsin he will
be given up to authorities of other
states. He is "a years old, so this
means practically life in prison.
Even Wife Was Deceived
He was caught at st. Louis two
weeks ago after breaking Jailt there, and
his wife is said to be living there, in
ignorance until his arrest that he was
more than rich country banker.
The story of Adler's career is one ssof
the strangest in American criminal his
tory. Operating for years, using his
knowledge as banker he worked sue
cessfully city after city, placing forg
ed mortgages on real farm property
with banks in the nearest localities to
the farms supposedly mortgaged agss
His age was such as to disarm sus-
piclon, and though he was bulletined
the country over he was finally caught
here only by an accident. When he had
forged mortgage ready to place the
farmer whose place was supposed to
be in the negotiations dropped into the
Waukesha bank to tell how he was pros
Ipering.
When Adler was located by the police
he tore up the forged mortgage and
threw it into sewer, but enough was
recovered to establish a case against
him.
Once Almost Killed Sheriff
He was in jail waiting trial and pre-
pairing for fight or flight for six months
and one night nearly beat the deputy
sheriff to death and escaped with three
companions. Adler was finally caught
in st. Louis, where two Pinkerton men
recognized him on the street.
1t is said in police circles that by
this time his identity with the Forest
City banker had been established and
that he was really captured by trailing
his wife from Arkansas to St. Louis.
When arrested he declared he was not
Adler, the Arkansas banker, but his
plea was ignored and he was brought
back.
Adler is supposed to be the man who
once secured SIS, 900 in Baraboo on a
forged deed.
