NO INVESTIGATION
OF DUMDUM BULLETS
United States Government Notifies Ger
man Ambassador 1t Cannot Con-
duct Investigation.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-Secretary
BRYAN to-day informed Count Won Bern
stofr. the German ambassador, that tlie
United States in maintaining strict neu'
trality must refrain from officially IN
vestigating or commenting upon his
charges that dumdum bullets were be-
ing furnished from this country to the
allies.
BRYAN told the ambassador however
that if he could furnish proof that for
bidden materials were being shipped by
American firms, President Wilson would
use his influence to stop the traffic with
out involving legal or international ques-
tions.
In the letter to Won Bernstein Bryan
said: 81 assure your excelency | am not
unmindful OF the spirit in which you
briu. to the attention OF this govern
ment alleged improper practices in the
conduct Of this present war. But while
this government may take these state
ments under consideration, it is, in an
effort to maintain strict neutrality
Obliged to refrain from investigating
their truthfulness or making any COM
ment in regard to them. The time will
come, however, when the truth may be
impartially determined and when the
Judgment of the world viii be passed
upon the charges made by various bellig-
erents of violations OF the rules of civil
lied warfare" Continuing, Secretary
BRYAN referred to the denials Of Amer
lean manufacturers TO Won Bernstotf's
recent charges of dumdum bullets and
riot guns being furnished to the allies.

FLETCHER DECLARES
ROWELL CHANGED MIND
OUTGOING Executive Says Office of At
torney General Ought to be Abolished
as Well as the Superior Court, With
Two Judges Added to Supreme Court
Many Other Recommendations

penal board and the Office Of sergeant-at-
arms ito one board of which the gov
ernor and purchaing agent should be
ex-ofiicio members. He spoke strong
ly against any attempt to tamper with
the public service commission law, and
warned the legislature against stopping
litigation to establish the states right
TO regulate rates.
Governor Fletcher said he was salts
fled that the state did not need an at
torney general and recommended abol-
ishing the Office which he said would
mean q saving to the state OF practical
" $4,000 every two years. With a
view to decreasing the cost of justice
he favored doing away with the supe-
rior court adding two or more judges
to the supreme court and giving wider
jurisdiction to municipal courts. He OPP
posed changing the principle involved in
the present tax law.
In conclusion he expressed the belief
that the state would be benefited less
BY the passage of too many new laws
than by the correction or elimination
of some that now exist and by the hon
est. forceful and fearless administration
Of those that are retained.

LONDON DISPATCHES
SAY FRICTION is PAST
The Turkish Official Reports
Make No Mention of Great
Russian Victory but Tell
of Minor Engagements
Raid on England Consid-
cred Possible

England's reply to Washington's re-
monstrance against British interference
with American shipping will be altogeth-
Ell conciliatory, according to dispatches
from London, which say that all danger
of friction has disappeared.
A Turkish announcement makes no
mention of disastrous defeat which
Russia states was inflicted on the Turk
ish forces invading Caucasus. The re-
port speaks of minor victories over Rus
SLAMS by Turkish forces which penetrated
northern Persia and Of an indecisive ma
val battle between Turkish and Russian
warships in the Black sea.
The activity of Germany's Zeppelins
along the French coast has revived the
conjecture of possible raid on England.
Three huge aircrafts and several dirig-
ibles are reported to have appeared near
Dunkirk and are then said to have turned
toward the English coast.
1t is reported that the arrest of Car
dinal MERCER at Brussels on account of
a pastoral letter in which he is said to
have advised Belgian civilians not to rec
ognize the authority of the, German au-
thorities has been officially denied by
Berlin
