Only a handful of Germans appeared
in the neighborhood, and did not at
tempt to enter. They were hustled
away and warned not to return.

CONTEMPLATE DEED
WITH JOYFUL PRIDE
German Newspaper Regards Sinking
of Lusitania as One of Wars
Greatest Achievements.

AMSTERDAM, May 10, 1926 D. m.
A Cologne newspaper says today:
The sinking of the Lusitania is sue
cess of our submarines which must be
placed beside the greatest achieve
ments of this naval war. The sinking
of the giant English steamer is a sue
cess of moral significance which is still
greater than material success. With
joyful pride we contemplate this latest
deed of our navy. 1t will not be the
last The English wish to abandon the
German people to starvation. We are
more humane We simply sank an
English ship with passengers at their
own risk and responsibility entered the
zone of operations.

"a hundred must have been blown

women in the forward cabins, who
were about to come on deck.
:" A few moments after the explo-

NEW SHIP INQUIRY.
North German Lloyd Line Likely

As a sequel to the prosecution which
led to the recent conviction OF DR.. Karl

on testimony brought out at the

that he considered such an investiga-

during the trial which resulted last
week in the conviction of DR.. Buenz,

American Zine George Koetter. gen
eral superintendent OF the line; Adolf
Hachmeister. the purchasing agent. and
Joseph Poeppinghaus. a s~upercargo. The
first three were sentenced by Judge

men. limited several times that the North
German Lloyd might have played a part
in the scheme for supplying German
cruisers on the tigh seas.
The first witness TO mention the line
was Gustave Il. Kulenkampf. an i'm
porter and exporter. who testified con-

OF the Land Court and to the provision
by which every province was given a

little business and population that the
Judges will have only a sinecure. In
this way some eight or more Filipinos
were given judicial berths. MIR. Gar

Attacks sleeper Removal.

But IN the exiGency Mr.. Garrison
says that Capt. Sleeper was removed by
Mr.. Harrison because of certain charges
that had been made against him by the
Congress of which Mr.. Harrison was a
member. I like the frank avowal OF
removing Mccoy because he was n Re-
publican committeeman much better
that ! do this. The charges against
Capt. Sleeper and others were twice
investigated. once by "A com .littee OF
Congress and once by Secretary Dickin-
son while in the islands. and they were
completely and triumphantly exonerated.
The vote of exoneration In Congress was
by twelve Republicans and I'VE Demo-
Gratis. Gen. Mcintyre, then as now
Chief of Bureau OF Insular Affairs. made
a report TO the Secretary of War in
which. referring to this vindication OF
Capt. Sleeper and the others charged,
he used this language:
Unfortunately the committee did not
SO to the origin. OF the charges made or TO
the animus behind them. While this was
doubtless proper under its Instructions. l.
resulted In the complete generation OF the
officials against whom charges were made
and left the distinct Impression that GER
tain persons. permitted In part to remain
anonymous. had for improper reasons ma
liciously and falsely attributed wrong
doing TO faithful. hard working officials
In view Of these facts I submit that
Nj. Harrison would be in a better po-
sition to nave avowed that Sleeper was
removed in order to make way for a
Filipino and obey the behest of Filipino
politicians.
Nov let W come TO the third con-
spicuous removal among the trained ex-
perienced veteran ms who gave the high
est tone to the Philippine civil service
as this Administrator found IT, | mean
the reInova OF Frank Carpenter and
hh transfer 10 the Goyernorship Of the
Moro Territory. Mr.. Garrison pays him
Il high and deserved compliment as a
public %ervant, although he was charged
at the same time as Capt, Sleeper and
was exonerated by the same Congress
sional committee. The office of executive
secretary is the most important bureau
office in the islands. lie stands next
to the head Of a department and to the
commission.
The executive secretaries in the ISL
ands have been Arthur W, FERGUSON.
July Is. 1901, to January 80. 1908, when
he died. and Frank W Carpenter, from
February. 1908, until the coming of Mr..
Harrison to the islands. Mr.. Carpenter
had been assistant under Mr.. Ferguson.
The duties of the executive secretary
require a man who speaks the Spanish
language. as Mr.. FERGUSON did, and are
greatly helped by having a man who
