Kaltschmid, said. Tuesday. that

merely I'm line with other attempts
made TO hang something on German

1T is not the first attempt. eth
En- he asserted. "A man came TO
nc. some time ago. who represented
himself as a sailor. a gunner. from
the Eitel Friedrich. He wanted
short interview with me, for which
he had been primed. My questions
soon led me 10 believe that he knew
even less about the Eitel Friedrich
than I did. lie said he had been
sent 10 me 10 ask my help for man
who had broken parole.
That attempt, and this last. are
in the same category as the Meyer
Gerhardt story in New York. They
stir people up for little while. but
their only real effect is TO make
trouble for the victims OF the hoax.
sn9 force them TO spend consider
able time showing that the accusa-
tons are not true.
$50 much was said about my ac-
tiyities that the chief immigration
Inspector from Ottawa asked me
for an interview, and went 10
Windsor. in March, and saw him.
He said that someone had COM
planned 10 him about me. obtained

would be useless IL the mob ever
took II into their heads that was
worth getting after"
"Who do you think IL behind this
movement, 20 antagonlstic TO you?'
Mr. Kaltschmidt was asked.
Il don't know" he replied. but
the movement IL going on in all
parts OF the country. Or. Dernburg
told me that he had TO hide away,
! 10 escape the put-up Jobs that peo-
pie tried TO involve him in. Then.
as I have said. there was the Meyer
Cerhardf incident in New York, and
tho attempt 10 implicate the Ger
man consul In San francisco.
II know Letter. think he IL
somewhat soft-headed. He is GER
tainly not a man whom would
pick TO pull OF any such alleged JOB
as the one be accuses me OF franz
