GERMAN REPLY
IN KAISER'S HAND
Note to U. S. Expected To Be
Ready by July 6-Will Prob
ably Be Compromise.

Berlin, July 1.-As the result OF
this weeks conferences on drafts OF
tho German reply TO the American
note, the document is now in the hands
of Emperor William at Army Head
quarters. The Kaiser's decision is
expected in time so that tAe note can
be presented to James v. Gerard, the
American Ambassador, probably on
July 8 or 8.
High Official are trying to bring
about a friendly settlement of the
questions with America and there is
every reason to believe that they are
anxious to make the proposals as con-
ciliatory and acceptable as possible.
These officials, however, have 70
reckon with the force Of strong public
opinion, which undoubtedly will op-
pose anything savoring of complete
acquiescence in the American pro-
posals. This force is being skilfully
exploited by those who are opposed 10
all concessions.
Friends of settlement are working
under these circumstances with con-
siderable difficulty ard the note prob
ably will represent & compromise not
in accordance with their desires.

S7,23O,OOO TO SON
John J. Gets -Four Parcels of
Property Here, First to Pass
from Fathers Estate.

William Waldorf Astor yesterday
gave his younger son, John Jacob AS
tor, real estate in lower Manhattan
valued at S7,23O,OOO. Real estate men
are inclined to believe the transfer
was made to enable the younger Mr..
Astor to escape payment of an inherit
ance tax later on.
The property which changed hands
includes the north end of the old Astor
House, at Broadway and Barclay
Streets: the Real Estate Exchange. in
Vesey Street, with adjacent buildings;
the Exchange Court Building, at Broad
way and Exchange Place, and the Astor
Building, at 10 Wall Street
These are the first of the properties
to pass from William Waldorf Astor's
direct control since he succeeded his
father as head of that branch of the
family in 1890.
John Jacob Astor, the second son of
William Waldorf Astor. was born in
1886, but has spent most of his life in
England. He holds commission in the
English army, but it has not been an
nounced whether he has gone to the

Ex-Governor Slaton at
Hearing.

Whether or not Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
would come to New York to testify in
the hearing to determine the sanity OF
her husband, Harry X. Thaw, was the
chief subject of interest yesterday in
the case. II can be very safely said,
however, that Mrs. Thaw will appear
unless something unforeseen turns up.
Although she had announced she would
be willing to appear at the trial if the
state summoned her, yesterday 4 dis
patch came from her camp saying she
would produce a doctors certificate
stating it would be a menace to her
health for her to make the trip.
Following this there was rumor
that if Justice Hendrick was not sat
isfied with such certificate a body
attachment would be issued for the
dancer John B. Stanchfeld and Abel

il was q matter Of utter indifference to
Thaw or not. She is expected here,

Slaton at Hearing.
Ex-Governor John NJ. Slaton Of
Georgia was in court yesterday. He
sat on the bench beside Justice Hen

had seen the man who killed Stanford
White before, and said he was thus
doubly interested in the case.

near the bench. As Governor Slaton
left the courtroom he was asked if he
