State Department Investi-
gates Charge That Ger
hart" is Alfred Meyer.
BERNSTORFF MAY BE
ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Suspected that Nan OstenSibly Sent az
Envoy to Germany Is Really Chief
Of Supply Department of German
Army, Here to Buy Guns.

Washington, June 16.-The state
department has begun quiet invcsti-
CATION of the charges that DR.. Anton
Meyer Gerhard, for whom it arranged
safe passage to Germany as the spe-
cial envoy of the German ambassador,
Count Won Bernstorff, was in reality
Dr.. Alfred Meyer, chief of the supply
department of the German army.
1t is understood the department. has
sent message to Ambassador Ge-
rard at Berlin, asking him to make
discreet inquiry regarding the where
abouts OF DR.. Meyer and the Identity
of the ambassadors envoy. Other
methods are being employed in this
country to obtain information.
The department expects to hear
from Ambassador Bernstorff on the
incident, and If no communication is
forthcoming soon, it will undoubtedly
call his attention to the published
statements. This was indicated today
by the remark of high official of
the department that in the absence OF
formal complaint, the department
sometimes takes cognizancc of arti-
Giles appearing in the newspapers"
In the event the charges are sub
Stimulated, and the state department
becomes convinced that the German
ambassador was party to the decep-
ton. the course which this govern
ment will take will be to indicate to
the German government that the
usefulness of Ambassador Bernstorn
is impaired" This would be equlva-
lent to asking for his recall.
The incident will be made more
serious by the fact that the PROPOSE
ton to send DR.. Meyer Gerhard as
the envoy of Ambassador Bernstorf
came ND at conference between the
ambassador and President wilson
himself, and it was at President Will
sons direction that the state depart
ment made the necessary arrange
men&s for his safe passage.
Mr.. Bryan, when secretary or state,
wrote the letter which the envoy
carried.
Dr. Meyer Gerhard was introduced
at the state departments by Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff. So far as the state
department is concerned, the presence
of DR.. Alfred Meyer in this country
was not known until the publication
of the news stories.
Secretary Garrison denied ne nad
ever heard from DR.. Meyer as to the
purchase Of 100000 discarded Krag-
,Jorgenson rifles from the war de-
partment

ABANDONING FARMS
ked Cross Reports That in Wide
Areas Of Mexico No Crops Will Be
Harvested-SOldiers Have Robbed
Peasants of Horses and Cattle.

Washington, June 16.-Six hun
dred marines and blue jackets have
been ordered to be ready at San
Diego to proceed to the rescue of
about 100 Americans near Esperanza
in the state of Sonora, Mexico There
is momentary expectation that the
Americans will be attacked by the
Yaqui Indians, who are again on the
war path.
+ simultaneously with this news
from Mexico, the American Red
Cross gave out reports showing that
in wide, areas of Mexico there will
practically be no harvest; that the
peasants have bean robbed by Mexl-
can soldiers of their horses and cat
tie, and that men, women and chill
dren are leaving the famine districts
for the cities in large numbers.
The expeditionary force of sailors
and marines will be under the com
mand of Rear-Admiral Howard, who
is now on his flagship, the Colorado,
at San Diego, where the expedition
will embark. Two ships, the
Raleigh and the Buffalo, are al
ready watching the situation at
Guaymas. These vessels, however,
have not sufficient force to deal
with the trouble to the extent threat
ened by the savages.
Consul Hostetter at Hersolli has
reported to the department the
ravages of the Indians in the Esper-
ANA valley, where they have de-
stroyed crops and horses. and are
threatening the lives of the settlers.
1t is expected the Colorado will
stop at Pamari bay, which is oppo~

In order to show the Mexican au-
thorities that the sole object of the
United States is to protect Amer
leans. Admiral Howard will advise
the local Mexican leaders that the
United States "has no intention of
acquiring territory" Similar advices
have been sent to Villa and Car
ranza.
The state department hopes it will
not be necessary to take the drastic
action of invading Mexico. even for
the present purpose. 1t will try
first what is described as the Hugh

CAR STRIKE ENDS
BY ARBITRATION
Mayor Thompson, Peace
Maker, Will Serve as UNI
pire in Mediation.

Chicago, June 16.-Arbitration to
determine the terms on which the
Chicago street car men will work for
the next two years will begin next
Monday. The men who are to decide
the points of difference between the
elevated and surface lines and their
employees will be chosen within a
day or two, and, with Mayor Thomp-
son as the umpire. will be ready to
start the first of next week. toward
drafting an agreement that will pre-
vent any repetition of the traffic tie
up, that Chicago experienced from
midnight Sunday until nearly noon
today.
The end of the trouble came with
a suddenness that surprised even the
parties to the dispute.
The representatives of the carmen
and the heads of the companies left
Mayor Thompson's office at $50 this
morning, went to hotels or their
homes and snatched few hours
sleep and then met to ratify in writ
ing the verbal agreement reached
after an all-night debate that at
times threatened to end in nothing,
despite the efforts of Mayor Thomp-
son and the committee of five alder
men to bring them together.
President Busby met committee
of union officials today and signed
the terms of arbitration. President
Budd of the elevated lines will sign
similar document tomorrow.
Each side must name an arbitrator
in three days.
While the elevated lines began run
ming today shortly after the settle
ment was made, the surface lines
we're delayed owing to the refusal OF
the men to resume work until they
had received orders personally from
President Quinlan Of the local union.

DIR. Castelli Shows How Preventive
Methods in Use in Italy Have Effect
ed Reduction i'm Number of Cases,
Vaccination for Immunity.

Seattle, Wash, June 16.-Tubercu-
losis can be made as rare a disease
as smallpox, DR.. Enrico Castelli, of
the University of Genoa, Italy, told
the delegates to the convention of
the National tuberculosis 'associa-
ton here. today.
He presented a method Of serum
diagnosis of tuberculosis, perfected
by himself and his colleagues. He
stated that by this test he was able
to determine the amount of tuber-
culosis infection, the degree of i'm
nunity against the disease, how
much tuberculosis matter must be
introduced into the body to obtain
complete immunity, and how long
this immunity will last.

methods of vaccination against tu-
berculosis, conceived for the first
time by Maragliano in 1903" He
said. eve are able now to apply this
vaccination on large scale among

More important still, acting on
the knowledge that much of the tu-
berculosis infection in infancy is
contracted through milk. which
forms the principal element of in
FAINT diet, we concluded that if we
adopted for the feeding of babies
milk obtained either from immunized
animals or vaccinated mothers, we
would eliminate the principal source
