Bernstorff Denies Gerhard Is
Kaiser's Spy.
CALLS CHARGES GROUNDLEss
Detective Agency Employed by Enc
mics to Circulate False Reports,
Ambassador From Germany
Declares.

Berlin, via London, June 19.-Dr.
Anton Meyer-Gerhard, who sailed
from New York June on a mission
to the German government from Count
Won Bernstorf. reached Berlin on
Wednesday.
He had a protracted conference
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow and
Minister Solf of the colonial Office.
The report that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard
is in reality DR.. Alfred Meyer, chief
OF the supply department of the Ger
man army, was denied authoritatively.
Washington, June 19.-Develop-
ments which promise to make the
case sensation of some Importance
occurred in connection with the
charges that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard, for
whom the state department obtained
safe passage to Germany, was in re-
atty Dr.. Alfred Meyer, chief of the
supply division of the German army.
The state department received from
the German embassy at Cedarhurst,
l.. l., an official denial of the charges,
and statement from the German am
bassador that the publication of the
charges was likely to operate against
settlement to the controversy between
this government and Germany.
In several other instances of late
where publicity was given to charges
against the German ambassador and
members Of his staff the view of the
trnTT1nT1 ont I'D
for the first time, was that the charges
originated with a detective agency
employed by Germany's enemies.
The state department gave out the
following statement, including the de-
NAL of the ambassador:
THE department of state has re-
ceived a telegram from the German
counselor, dated June 16, calling at
tention to articles appearing in yes
terday's papers in regard to an al
legged breach of confidence on the
part of the ambassador in sending a
secret German gun agent to Berlin in
place of Doctor Gerhard, the Red
Cross delegate. IN reference to these
articles the ambassador states as fol-
lows:
1T is unnecessary for me to as
sure you that the story circulated by
these articles is untrue from begin
ming to end. 1t contains a personal
attack upon the ambassador and his
delegate, DR.. Meyer-Gerhard, and is
likely at the same time to nullify the
sincere and earnest efforts of the
ambassador to bring about an I'M
Outstanding between the United States
and Germany in the Lusitania ques-
ton"

Income Tax Not Endangered.

mere Is no disposition on my part
to destroy or even injure the present
income tax law" said Governor Phil
ipp in an interview.
The governor was asked to make
a statement because the administra-
ton bill abolishing the present tax
commission has been heralded as d.
rect attack on this law and a cam
palgn against the passage of the bill
started.
The chief argument made against
the bill is that it will kill off the in
come tax law. Some attempts have
been made to show that one-man
tax commission (although the bill pro-
v1des for three members) would not
work out for the benefit of the peo-
pie. Yet in one paper. D. o. Kinsman,
a recognized tax expert, came out in
favor Of one-man commission. In
further explanation of his stand, Gov
ernor Philip said:
For the present at least it is the
policy of the people to assess an in
come tax, and until l can be satisfied
that the people want to get rid of this
form Of taxation, / will not favor leg
1slation that will in any way nullify
the present law or interfere with car
rying out its provisions. My only in
tent, so far as the income tax law is
concerned, is to reduce cost of admin
fstration, which, as everyone knows,
is abnormally high. There seems to
be no sound reason for this
The United States government col
lects its income tax through the same
agency that it collects it's internal
revenue, and in Wisconsin there are
only two collectors of internal reve-
nue.. l am informed that at the head
quarters Of the eastern district at Mil
waukee all the extra expense needed
to collect the income tax was in the
form of a small sum paid out for the
hire Of eight additional clerks. For
the collection or administration of the
state income tax, however, we have
spent some $4,000, or more, in sin
gle year. We have about forty-one as
SCISSORS and their assistants.
OF course, as has been expected,
the criticism has been made that the
proposed bill will throw the income
tax into politics. Of late, however,
it seems that every attempt to give
back to the people power taken away
from them by a bureaucratic govern
ment is criticized as a political move.
Therefore l do not believe we need
pay much attention to such state
ments. The destruction theory is
far-fetched and is used entirely in the
interests CT the present organization.
Under the new bill the tax commits
sion is given full and sufficient author
ity to make income tax administra-
ton a success. AS a matter of fact
the people Of the state object and OBJ
ject seriously to the idea of having
some one sent into their localities and
given such arbitrary power as is given
income tax assessors.
