DR.. POLLOCK RESIGNS.
Gives Formal Notice to Trustees of
Norwich State Hospital.

DR.. Henry NJ. Pollock, superin-
tendent of the Norwich Hospital for
Insane has presented to the board of
trustees his resignation to take effect
February first, 1916, to become the
head of the Massachusetts HomeO-
pathic hospital in Boston. In a letter
to DR.. James H. Naylor of Hartford
a member of the board, he gives his
reasons for resigning as follows:
DR.. J. H. Naylor, Board of Trustees
Norwich State Hospital, Hartford,
Conn.
Dear Doctor: At a special meet
ing of the board of trustees of the
Norwich State hospital held on May
26th, 1 informed the board that
had been offered the superintendency
of the Massachusetts Homeopathic
hospital, which is a large general hos
pital located in Boston, and as this
offer apparently presented certain ad-
vantages that I had taken the mat
ter under consideration.
The board of trustees very kindly
urged me to remain at this institu-
ton and passed very complimentary
resolution to this effect. After a con-
ference with the local committee. I
agreed to remain at this institution
until February l, 1915, and I accepted
the Boston offer with this expressed
condition. Much to my surprise the
trustees of the Homeopathic hospital
have decided to await my coming at
this time and consequently I expect
to sever my connections as active SUI
perindent of this institution on
that date. 1t is, therefore, with great
regret that 1 present to you and
other members of the board of trus-
tees of the Norwich State Hospital
for the Insane my resignation to take
effect at that time.
I wish at this time to express my
sincere thanks and appreciation for
the many kindnesseS which you have
extended to me. 1t will be hard for
me to leave this institution unled any
circumstances. My going is rendered
doubly hard on account of the pleas
ant associations that 1 have had with
the board of trustees, both collectively
and individually. Certainly noR board
could have been more kind and con-
siderate or more generous. I shall
of course, expect to see you many
times before I leave Norwich.
Yours very truly,
HENRY NJ. POLLOCK, Supt.
DR.. Naylor who has served as a
member Of the board of the Norwich
institution for some time, having
been appointed by Governor Bald
win, says the state will lose a very
capable and conscientious official in
the going of DIR. Pollock He has
made a record, both professionally
and from a business standpoint, of
which he may well be proud" said
DR.. Naylor.

PREDICTS PEACEFUL SOLUTION
ON ALL POINTS AT ISSUE:
German Emissary in Interview Asserts
That Feeling of American People
Toward Germany is PeaeefuI-AIlays
Fears of Concentration of Our Fleet.

London. June 16, SAT p. ma
peaceful settlement of the questions
which have arisen between the United
States and Germany is predicted by
DR.. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, who is on
his way from the German embassy at
Washington to Berlin to explain the
situation to the German government
An interview accredited to Dr. Never
Gerhard is published by the Frank
1urter Zeitung and forwarded to Lon
don by the Amsterdam correspondent
of Reuters Telegram company. The
interview was obtained yesterday at
Christiansand Norway. when the
steamer United States, on which DR..
Meyer Gerhard was passenger,
touched at that port.
viii Be Settled Peacefully.
t'The conflicting Views existing be-
tween Berlin and Washington regard
ing the Lusitania affair rest on a mis-
understandg, and will be settled peace
fully" DR.. Meyer-Gerhard is quoted
as saying. THE conflict between
president Wilson and Secretary Bryan
is of old origin and arose from quite
different causes than the Lusitania af-
fair. The breach was rendered inevi-
table by the independent procedure of
the president, who rejected the coun-
sells of his responsible minister and
drafted the latest American note to
Germany according to his own ideas
LAS President Wilson framed this
reply to Germany without even con-
sulting Mr.. Bryan. the latter had no
other recourse but to request that he
be released from office
Americans Want Peace.
''The tension between the two must
therefore be regarded as entirely
domestic affair. The feeling of the
American people and government tow
ards Germany is not at all bellicose;
on the contrary, there prevails an alb
solute desire for peace.
American Fleet Not Concentrated.
1T is not true, as trumpeted abroad,
that the American fleet had been con-
centrated for participation in the Eu-
ropean naval war.
Feeling Among German-Americans
Splendid.
The feeling among German -Amerf-
cans is splendid. Their love for the
motherland is strong, their joy in our
mighty successes in all theatres OF war

NO TRICKERY ABOUT
GERMAN EMISsARY.
State Department Assured That Mes
sages Are Being Carried by Dr.. An
ton Meyer Gerhard.

Washington, June Is. - Secretary
Lansing received word late today from
sources which he regarded as reliable
that the man who sailed for Germany
with a safe conduct carrying messages
to the foreign Office at Berlin from
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bessador, was DR.. Anton Meyer-Ger-
hard
Doubt had been cast on the identity
of the German ambassadors envoy by
published reports that the safe conduct
in DR.. Gerhard's name was in reality
obtained for DR.. Alfred Meyer, chief
of the supply department of the Ger
man army, who was said to have been
buying supplies in the United States.
Another story was to the effect that
DR.. Meyer accompanied Gerhard.
State department officials today ex-
pressed much curiosity over the re-
ports, but instituted no formal investi-
cation. From one Of the editors of a
New York newspaper, an American
citizen, came word that he knew both
DIR. Meyer and DR.. Gerhard and that
he personally saw the latter on June
take the boat for Norway.
While the state department would
examine any evidence that might be
brought to il, nothing thus far iudi-
Gates, 1t was said officially. that there
is any foundation for a charge of trick

ADMIRAL FULLAM AGAIN
BEFORE COURT OF INQUIRY.
Relative to Dismissal of Seven Mid
shipmen for cribbing.

Annapolis, Md, June 16.-Rear Ad-
miral William Fullam, superintendent
of the naval academy, declared today
that he had such confidence in the
judgment of the three officers who
composed the board of investigation
of guilty knowledge concerning a pa
per alleged to have been an actual ex
animation paper stolen from the de-
partment of modern languages that he
personally did not think any further
inquiry was necessary.
The expression of opinion was made
before the court of inquiry appointed
by Secretary Daniels to make further
investigation of Irregularities in exam
ination papers. The superintendent,
whose recommendation for the dismis
sal of the midshipmen was based on
the findings of the board he had ap-
pointed made it plain, however, that
he intended no criticism of the navy
department They had their own rea-
sons for reopening the matter, he
said.
When Admiral Fullarm appeared be-
fore the court this afternoon to veri-
fy his testimony of yesterday, Con-
gressman c.. G. Carlin of midshipmen's 8
counsel questioned him further about
his trip to Washington on Saturday.
Mr.. Carlin took exception to what he
termed an effort on the part of Amir
al Fullam to force his views on Rear
Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of
navigation, and Secretary Daniels, to
both of whom the findings of the pres
ent court would go for review.
Admiral Fullam protested against
the line of Mr.. Carlin's questioning
but when the court ruled it was per-
missible he disclaimed any intention
of trying to influence the persons
named, and said he did not believe
that he could do so.

DENIED BY COUNSELLOR
AT GERMAN EMBASSY.
Says Story About German Envoy is
"Preposterous and Untrue"

New York, June 16.-Dr. Haniel
Won Haimhausen, counsellor at the
German embassy now in summer
quarters at Cedarhurst, L. L, declared
tonight that he had sent a telegram
to Robert Lansing, acting secretary
of state at Washington lcharacterizing
as s'prosposterous and untrue" pub
lished accounts that DR.. Anton Meyer
Gerhard was in reality DR.. Alfred
Meyer, chief of the supply depart
ment of the German army, who had
been secretly here buying munitions.
This government arranged safe con-
duct with the allies for DR.. Meyer
Gerhard so that he might return to
Germany with personal message
from Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador.
DR.. Won Haimhausen said that he
acted in the absence of Count Won
Bernstorff, who was on a motor trip
in the CatskiIls and whose return was
delayed by a rainstorm. He wanted
it di>~actly understood that he was
not speaking for the count.
81 sent the telegram to Mr.. Lans-
ing" he said, because I consider the
published stories in which an attack
on the honor and veracity of the am
bassador as the representative of the
German government in this country
told him that that there was not a
word of truth in the stories and that
they were preposterous lies"

TO ARBITRATE CHICAGO
STREET CAR STRIKE.
Normal Service on All Lines Was Re-
sumed Yesterday.

Chicago, June 16.-Normal service
on Chicago elevated and surface car
lines was resumed today as the result
of an agreement to arbitrate, reached
after an all-night session of railway
and labor representatives and a coun-
Gil committee headed by Mayor
Thompson. The homebound thousands
were transported from the business
district as was usual before the strike.
The elevated lines ran cars soon af-
ter the announcement that there had
been an agreement to arbitrate, but it
was several hours before anything like
a normal schedule was in operation.
On the surface lines, the first cars
to appear downtown reached the loop
about IL o'clock. They attracted great
crowds and were eIlthuSta Stically
cheered. Thereafter there was a
gradual increase in the number, but it
was not until the rush hours of the
evening that the surface lines were in
full operation.
The formal agreement between the
companies and the unions to arbitrate
all differences was not signed until
noon, although the order had gone out
to the $4,000 employees to return to
work several hours before. Mayor
Thompson was credited with bringing
about the agreement and he was chos-
en- by both sides as the third or neu-
trail arbitrator. The ones representing
the men and the companies will be
chosen by the respective interests be-
fore Saturday, on which day the first
meeting Of the three arbitrators is to
be held.
In working out the arbitration agree
ment it was agreed that as to wages
there should be no arbitration down
ward and that 'ttrippers," men who
work only during the rush hours of
traffic, would be eliminated. Ecery
point Of difference between the men
and the employers is to be decided by
the arbitrators

Franks Fate Rests
With Governor
FINAL APPEAL FOR CoMMUTA-

Testimony of State Witnesses and
Sought to Convince Governor of
Alleged Inconsistencies.

Atlanta, Ga, June 16-Leo M.
franks final appeal for communication
OF his death sentence to life imprison-
ment was completed here late today
and his fate was placed in the hands
of Governor Slaton, who took the peti-
ton under advisement with the an
nouncement that he would make his
decision as early as possible. 1t is not
expected before Friday or Saturday
at the earliest
Next Tuesday, June %, is the date
set for Franks execution for the muir
der OF Mary Phagan.
End of Remarkable Legal Contest.
The conclusion of the proceedings
today before Governor Slaton exhaust
ed the last resource which Frank may
employ to escape the gallows. The
declSion-fOr or against commutation-
viii bring to an end a remarkable Sc
r1eS of legal contests in state and fed
eral courts to clear Franks name and
proceedings for clemency before the
state prison commission and Governor
Slaton.
The session today was occupied by
William NJ. Howard in his closing ar
gument in Franks behalf. Howard
was interrupted frequently by ques-
ttons from the governor on points of
evidence and by Solicitor Dorsey, who
took issue with statements as to what
had been brought out in the trial.
Attacked Testimony of State Witnesses
Mr.. Howard attacked the testimony
Of state witnesses and sought to con-
vince the governor of alleged incon-
sistencies and contradictions in the
testimony and affidavits of Jim Conley
a negro, who served a prison term as
an accessory after the murder He
asserted repeatedly that ConIeys story
was an invention of his own mind,
designed to divert suspicion from him
self
Take the name of Leo Frank out
of this case" declared Howard forget
all that has passed in the last two
years, give me a public mind that is
county in Georgia and I will acquit
; this defendant in thirty minutes
Howard declared that by the testi-
mony of the states witnesses the. rec
ord showed Mary Phagan was not in
the pencil factory at the time when
the prosecution contended Frank kill
ed her. He also declared the record
showed that the girl had not arrived
at franks Office at the time when
Conley in his testimony said he al
ready had disposed of the body.
ernor a weekly financial sheet of the
factory which he declared Frank had
made up the day the girl was muir
dered. I'VE contend" he said, that
a person could not have made out this
complicated statement after he had
committed such a foul murder
Solicitor Dorsey asserted that the
state contended the financial statement
had been compiled prior to the crime.
THAT, however, the state never
proved replied Howard.

AMBASSADOR GERARD

On How Latest Note to Germany Was
Received in Official Circles.

Washington. June 16.-Ambassador
Gerard cabled today his first informal
report on how the latest American
note to Germany was received in of
fetal quarters in Berlin. He spoke of
it's reception as friendly and courteous
and said unanimous opinion seemed to
be that the document afforded basis
for diplomatic negotion and settle
ment.
Long, extracts from German news

been published here Were transmit

a friendliness of tona and an absence
Of tho bitterness which has previous

ger mt era noes.
The ambassadors own comment was
brief bearing out press reports of
the favorable impression made by the
note especially because published re-
ports had reached Germany that the
United States would send something
in the nature of an u1timatum., Mr..
Gerard had no intimation as to when
a reply would be received or what its
specified character would be. 1t was
