SAYS STEGLER'S
 EVIDENCE SILLY
German Ambassador Denies That Ger. man Embassy Attache Been Deal
 ing In False Passports.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Count von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, called on Sec retary Bryan on Saturday and en. tered a vigorous denial of the evi. dence offered by Richard Stegler, a German reservist, that Captain Boy Ed, naval attache of the German em- bassy at Washington, had supplied him with a false passport.
 Stegler was arrested at the in- stigation of an agent of the British government as he was about to board liner for England. His passport was found to be fraudulent. When examined at the police station he as serted that he was a reservist of the German army and had been engag- ed by Captain Boy-Ed to go to Eng, land to act as spy, and that the passport had been given to him by Captain Boy-Ed personally.
 Count Bernstorff declares the story told by Stegler is pure fiction and too silly to occasion comment. He as- serts that Stegler is unknown to the German embassy and expresses the belief that he is really acting for the nations hostile to Germany in the hope that the German officials in Washington would be discredited.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-An- ga red at the aggressive attitude of the Japanese government toward Chi na the Chinese Six Companies, of San Francisco, has ordered a boycott by Chinamen in America on all Japan ese goods.
