Washington and he had to spend large sums of money.
 "We know nothing whatever of the S750,000 that came from Germany to Kulenkampff, the German exporter who testified that he received this sum and was told it was for Captain Boy-Ed. But we do contend that we committed no unlawful act in thus seeking to supply German ships at sea.
 Four Lies Charged.
 "The government charges us with four lies. It charges that we lied in giving the shippers of the supplies; that We lied in stating falsely the destinations of the cargoes; that we lied in stating incorrectly the cargoes: and, finally, that we lied in giving the valuation of the cargoes. It simply charges these things, it has not ad- duced one whit of evidence to prove them.''

the Russian service. One of them, who seemed somewhat worse for liquor than his comrades, said some thing which offended the rest of the group. One of the men knocked him down. The others jumped upon his body with their heavy cowhide boots and kicked him in the face. An old woman rushed to the assistance of the bleeding and bruised soldier. She pushed his assailants away and pro- tested loudly as she helped the stunned man to his feet and led him away. The four men followed, but were frightened away by threat of the woman to report the assault to an officer.

HOW TENANT FARMER
 COULD ACQUIRE LAND
J. l.. Coulter Urges National and State Legislation to Provide Credit
 Facilities.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-John Lee Coult- CT, dean of the college of agriculture of the University of West Virginia, in an address before the National Con- ference on Marketing and Farm Credits here today recommended na- uonal and state legislation to pro- vide the credit facilities which would make it possible for the tenant farm CT and farm laborer to acquire farm lands. He said that the first steps to be taken were:
 l. An act of congress providing for a complete scheme of farm land banks.
 2. Legislative acts of various states supplementing the national law and providing for state institutions to do various phases of the mortgage busi- ness which the national farm land bank would not care to undertake.
 3. Legislation by various states simplifying laws pertaining to titles. deeds, foreclosures and exemptions
 4. An up-to-dat state bureau of farm lands with a complete list of farms for sale and farms for rent, and as much detail concerning these as possible.
 5. A thorough scheme of rural edu- cation with county organization so provided that the county headquart CTS would have a complete list and careful rating of every farm operated within the county.
 6. Such state legislation as is nec- essary to take over by some public service corporation lands not already developed-these lands to be devel oped, parceled, and sold on advantag eous terms to select farmers who do not own any land but are seeking to become permanent settlers, living up- on and operating their own farms.
 These recommendations followed a discussion of the land problem as it exists in the United States and the quotation of many statistics as to the number of tenants and farm laborers.

BUENz |MPLICATES
 GERMAN EMBASSY
Testifes Abstract of Agreement
 Passed Into Its Keeping

New York, Dec. 1.-The abstract Of the Hamburg-American Lines agree ment with the German government, whereby the former agreed to supply German cruisers at sea with coal and supplies in neutral ships sailing from American ports early in the war, has passed into the keeping of the Ger man embassy at Washington. Dr. Karl Buenz, managing director of the line, so testified today in his trial and that of three other line officials and employes-on charges of con- spiracy, now nearing it's close in the United States district court here.
 Turned Over to Germany.
 Not only has the abstract of this agreement been given to the embassy for safe keeping, Dr. Buenz testified, but all correspondence on the subject by letter or cable, likewise has formal ly been turned over to the German government through the embassy at Washington. The cablegrams, it was said were in the German naval code and were removed to the embassy when it was thought there was danger of their becoming public through this trial and thus revealing to representa- tives of England, France and Russia the key to the German secret code.
 Notwithstanding the severance of the German cables to America by the British early in the war, the Ham, burg American Line was in constant cable communication with Germany, Dr. Buenz testified. These cable grams, at the time the line sent out relief ships, told Dr. Buenz where to send his ships to meet German cruisers, notwithstanding the isolation of the warships from the German ad miralty.
 Government Objects.
 The government strenuously ob- jected to Dr. Buez's testimony con- corning the abstract of the agreement and the cablegrams relating to the dis patch of relief ships. Roger B. Wood United States assistant district attor- ney, contended that the documents themselves were available and that they should be brought into the court room. In this he was upheld by Judge Howe and Dr. BuenZ was not permit ted to tell their contents.

PEACE RESTORED
Warning City Commissioners
Buried the Hatchet.
General Discussion in Progress
as to Who Was Right.

The dove of peace is again cooling
at the city hall. Frank NJ, Newland
city commissioner of water and light
ing, and w. HI. WATSON, city commits
friends. Be it remembered that in the
heat of budget making each called the
other the biggest liar in town." or
words to that effect. Now that each
mas buried the Ratchet, there is specu-
lation in the city hall as to which was
right and city hall employees are TAX
ing Sides George P. Hayden, city at
torney, remains on the fence. He re-
tuses to take sides and suggests that
possibly both men were right. But
TINS IS beside the point.
IN a recent controversy on the ques-
ton u Newland supporter recounted
several of Newland'S tales of his expe-
rience in Alaska.
Hasn't he ever told you of his ex-
perlence as a witness in q lawsuit
growing out of a wager between two
men as to which had the better deer
hound ?" inquired listener. Then the
deerhound story was related Perhaps
Newland did not tell 1t exactly as it
was repeated and accredited to him,
but, be it remembered, that it was
repeated by a Newland supporter in
substantiation of the claim that
honors should go to the commissioner
of water and lighting, should deci-
sion be handed down on the point IN
controversy
He began it by starting out with a
fish story" he explained the NeWland
advocate He was fishing on lake
somewhere in New York. The fish
story itself is a whopper. The num-
bers, the great size. and the methods
of capturing the fish would put most
liars out of the running.
1T is some story, but to top 1T off he
says, Just as the fish were loaded
into the wagons and 1 was making
ready to go home, a deer dashed out
of the woods in the opposite side of
the lake. It stood near the water. Its
tongue was hanging out, and it SEEM
ed to be in great distress. 1t kept
l heard the bay of a hound and the
deer plunged into the water and
swan the lake. Soon a black and
white hound dashed out of the woods
bayed in a high soprano voice and
took to the water where the deer had
entered. A short time thereafter an
other hound appeared. He was black
and tan and he bayed in a fine pitch
ed tenor voice and also took to the
water. I told several persons what I
had seen, but thought nothing about
the incident, until 1 was subpoenaed
to appear in court back in New FORK.
1t seems that two men away down in
Georgia had made a wager of ST., 900
as to which had the best deerhound.
They had started the deer in Georgia
and had been trailing it three weeks
and had travelled all the way to New
York state. The case was dragged
along for years and 1 had to make six
trips back to New York to testify
lead had a soprano or a tenor voice.
never did learn how the case was
finally settled"
