GERMAN SPY To

Into Prosecution of Alleged
BIaCkmaiIer.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. Ar
rangements for the prosecution of
Karl Armgaard Graves, self styled
master spy" and MAGAZINE writer
who was arrested here Saturday on
charge of attempting to eXtort
$4,000 from Countess Won Berns-
torff, wife OF the German ambassa-
dor. will be completed Monday at a
conference between agents of the
department Of justice, representa-
tives of district attorneys office and
Prince hatfield, counsellor of the
German embassy.
The name of Emperor William of
Germany may be brought into the
case indirectly, as a result Of this
conference. A diplomatic represen-
tative in a foreign country cannot
divest himself OF his immunity from
giving testimony without special
permission from his sovereign. AS
Graves conversed solely with Prince
Hatzfeldt. it may be that the dis
trict attorneys office will determine
that his testimony is essential.
1t is not expected that either
Countess Won BernstOrff or the Ger
man ambassador will be requested
to appear against Graves.
The letters for which Graves is
alleged to have asked $4,000 re-
manned in the possession OF agents

Graves was in New York SUNDAY.
He left Washington late Saturday

liminary hearing Monday morning.

be more equitably distributed than
in the past
More Friendly to Railway.
One of the most assuring symp-
toms of the day is the rapid disap-
pearance Of public hostility to the
railroads. which has been such an
impeachment TO their proper develop
ment For the first time in many
years, the railroads were scarcely
a factor in the political campaign,
and the prospects of their securing
fair treatment in the future are
daily improving. American railroads
have been literally starved TO death
for want Of new capital which could
only be obtained upon practically
ruinous terms. In 1903 railroad cap
ital applications were: Stocks, S309,
600. 900, and bonds and notes. S7O6,-
100000. In 1915 applications had
shrunk to S22.0O0,OO0 in stocks,
while bonds and notes were $751;
000. 600 The enormous shrinkage
in railroad stock issues compared
with the great mass Of bonds and
note issues is eloquent testimony or
the effect of ignorant and preju-
diced antagOnism TO legitimate rail-
road enterprise. AS a result, the
country has been hampered by the
lack Of new mileage and better traf-
nc facilities. The unsatisfactory
service which railroads have been
giving for the last six months is
entirely due to private capital be-
ing frightened away from providing
the needed assistance. There is no
real call in this county for govern
ment ownership Of railroads: al that
is needed IS intelligent and just
regulation private capital to secure
reasonable returns ard fair treat
ment generally. Comparing the new
issues for industrial concerns. we
find that in 1903 the total amount OF
industrial capital applications was
1901. 100000 of stock, and bond and
note issues 1852. 900, 600 of stock,
and bond and note issues 1862, OOO.-
600: while in 1915 the total stocks
were 1902. 100000, and bonds and
notes. 1851. 0OO.O 600. Such compari-
sons require no comment.
Why Prices are High.
This week the government crop
report estimated the corn yield at
2.643, 100000 bushels, compared
with 3.O54.OO00OO bushels a year
ago. OF wheat the yield is estimated
al only 07.OOO,OO0 bushels. against
1.O11,OOO.0 600 bushels last year
These figures explain the high cost
Of food. without regard TO the war
which has further lessened the
worlds supplies by reduced yields
and increased wastaCe. The high
prices Of cotton, meats, leather,
wool. copper. coal and other nee
essities is almost entirely a ques-
ton Of supply.
While the outlook of the market
continues favorable the abnormal
conditions prevailing should not be
forgotten The longer the rise con-
tinues the greater the risk unless

he has kept us unprepared to keep
war out of America.
He promised to reduce the number
of Federal officeholders and has added
thirty thousand to- their number.
His promise to protect merit in the
civil service has been broken, and his
insincerity in the protection of the
merit system is proved.
In time of peace he filled America
with bread lines, and demands re-elec-
tion because in time of war Europe
has filled our factories with orders
which it will cease to place the mo-
ment peace is declared. Destiny, not
Democracy, is alone responsible for
present prosperity.
His pledges to reduce the cost of
living can be measured to-day in the
light of the highest prices ever known
in our history.
He has sown international an
tasonism which will plague us for
generations.
He has fathered a Democratic tariff
that threw hundreds of thousands of
men out of work in the first months OF
his administration. The same tariff is
still in force and 1t will have the same
disastrous results after the war.
He has failed to keep the faith.
