German amba ssador that there was no
attempt or intent to deceive this gov
eminent. and that DR.. Meyer Gerhard

was not, as was claimed by some pub
lished reports. a high official of the
German government who had been here
endeavoring to buy war material TINS
was offlcially stated last night by Sec
retary Lansing. as follows:
The German ambassador called on me
and said that the stories published in
the newspapers as to Meyer-Gerhard
and Dr. Meyer were not true and were
embarrassing to him.
"The ambassador said that he had no
knowledge Of any DR.. Meyer. nor did any
member Of the embassy know any such
person as the DR.. Meyer referred to-
The ambassador made this statement
on his word Of honor. and said that the
stories were a criticism of his own per
sonal character.
He said that Meyer-Gerhard had
never entered into any contract in this
country, nor had anything to do here ex-
cept with the Red Cross SO far as any

Under section 935 Of the District code
the District is given the right of ap-

defendant. but this section, it is stated,

based on the ground that the defend

The loan shark law provides that mo
one shall engage in the District of Co

money at greater rate of interest
than per cent per annum without a

gaging in business. The position of
the District is that so long as the ma :

ing a loan are carried on in the Dis
trict of Columbia. that even though the
formal contract of pawn is executed in
Virginia, nevertheless he is engaged

DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED
BY HIS FINGER PRINTS
Frederick Sa1pdberg Uses System on
Man Killed In Philadelphia
by Policeman.

Frederick Sandberg, In charge Of the
bureau of Identification at police head
quarters, succeeded in making an inter-
esting identification as a result of his
study Of the fngerprint method. An un-
identified white man was killed in Phila-
delphia a week ago by policeman, and
in an effort to identify the body the chief
of police asked Maj. Pullman to have an
investigation made.
Mr.. Sandberg was told of a rumor
that the dead man had served in the
navy He found the rumor to be well
founded, but before going to the naval
officials for information Sandberg sue
ceeded in making the Identification
from his own records.
The dead man was John Murtaugh,
native of Philadelphia. who was SEN
tenced in this city July 21. 1911, to
serve a year and day for burglary at
the house of Mrs. Louisa Gleason.
Records show that he served three
terms in the prison at Glen Mills, Pa.
and that he was dishonorably disl
charged from the navy in April of last
year.
