GENERAL
SAYS TO KEEP THEM
Opinion Is Against Turning Won Igel's
Papers Over to Ambassador
Won Bernstorff.

WASHINGTON, April 24-The
state department today received
from Attorney General Gregory, ad-
vice against giving to Ambassador
Bernstorff, the papers seized from
Wolf Won Igel, secretary to Captain
Won Papen.
The recommendation is not final, it
Is said Gregory has offered to sub
ordinate his opinion to any larger
question" but the attorney general
and officers under him are said to be
opposed to being hampered in any
way in making use of the papers.
That the state department is view
ing the situation growing out of the
seizure with added seriousness, was
admitted.
Gregory in offering to give up
what his officials consider the most
valuable evidence they have OBJ
tanned, indicated the extent to which
German officials are involved. That
Ambassador Won Bernstorff's namc
is mentioned frequently in letters
taken from Won Igel was apparent
from the view Gregory took.
The attorney general, acting on adj
vice of officials in charge of neutral
ity violation plots, has concluded that
the papers Involve 0eI1CtLe ulploNItttiC
questions. In stating that the de-
partment of justice cannot deal with
diplomats directly, no secret was
made of the belief that diplomats
were involved.
Negotiations as to the papers are
now entirely in the hands of the state
department. Justice officials said
that the case has passed from them.
They are holding the papers and ex-
rect to be asked for them when Am
bassador Won Bernstorff returns
from New York probably tomorrow.
While they deny they will take anv
action, officials admitted they have
looked up laws pertaining to prosecu-
ton of diplomats. 1t is possible, they
said, to prosecute even an ambassa-
dor who has committed an offense
against the government to which he
is assigned. This has been done in
other countries, it was said.

His Insanity Returns.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April "a
Harry Rodebaugh- 30, of Mason City:
Ills. who recently was discharged
from an insane asylum at Jackson
vile. Tl., was the object of a police
hunt here today as the result Of the
shooting of his brother. Gordon Rode
baugh.
Gordon Rodebaush is in hospital
suffering from two painful bullet
wounds which he says were inflicted
bv his brother. The police theory is
that Harry's insanity has returned, for
Gordon can give no reason why his
brother should wish to fniure him.
Five shots were fired at Gordon, two

Conference Held Today With German

Staff Correspondent.
BERLIN, April 24.-Ambassador
Gerard, emerging from sixty-five
minute conference with Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg this after
noon. was besieged BY crowd of
German and American correspon-
dents, but refused fatty to discuss
his talk with the chancellor.
"Are you preparing to leave Ber-
lin," was asked by one of the Ger
man correspondents
II can say nothing" was the am
bassador's response. at will be inn
possible for me to speak for perhaps
two or three days
The ambassador went to the chan
cellor's office shortly after II o'clock
this morning, carrying with him the
text of the American note. He told
the United Press that the chancellor
asked for the conference last night
upon his return from the kaisers
quarters.
The fact that he carried no papers
when he returned to the embassy led
to the inference that he has not yet
received the German reply.
Immediately upon his return, Ger
ard began writing in long hand long
confidential cable to President VIII
son. AS fast as he finished one sheet
it was coded by embassy clerks and
prepared for the cable.
Americans are constantly arriving
at the embassy to obtain passports.
Many are leaving Berlin, believing
that break Is near.

RAIN CUTS DOWN
EXCURSION CROWD
LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WENT TO THE WHARVES, BUT
DECIDED NOT TO GO TO BEACH
IN THE SHOWERS.

Showers Of the early afternoon yes
terday cut down the excursion crowds
which had planned to make a trip
over the bay. Available launches re-
manned tied up at the docks, as the
patronage offered did not justify the
operation of the vessels.
Had good weather have prevailed
it is said, hundreds would have made
the trip. Ladies of the First Metho-
dist church were in charge of one Of
the outings, and a large number Of
friends in tho congregation antic.-
pated offeri0g their patronage to the
excursion venture. During the after
noon scores at times would congre-
gate at the offices of the boat owners
and operators, but lightning, thunder
and rains had the effect Of persuading
them to remain in the city.
The unpropitious weather also had
the effect of keeping down the patron
age at the picnic at Palmetto Beach
during the afternoon, but after dark,
when the showers let up and the air
was considerably cooler than had been
the case earlier in the day, a large
number boarded the Bayshore cars, to
participate in the dancing.

GETTING READY TO
CARE FOR COUNTY
IN DAMAGE CLAIM
GEORGE H. ROMNIELL AND JAS.
NJ. JOHNSON, EXPERT WIT
NESSES RETAINED BY De
TENSE INVESTIGATING.

George NJ. Rommell and Jas. NJ
johnson, who have been retained as
expert witnesses for the county in the
Escambia, have been interesting
case brought by the Blount Construc-
ton Company against the county OF
themselves during the past several
days, ascertaining definitely certain
matters in dispute, for presentation
in defense when the big action comes
up for hearing next Friday.
There has been considerable dispute
relative to the depth of the walls of
the county Jail building. This will
be settled, for the witnesses have
been doing some extensive investiga-
ton, and both have been on the
ground as excavations are made just
south of the county building.
Much interest follows the activi-
ties of the two men named, and as
neither of them desires to have any
great amount of publicity relative
to their preparation of the county's
case, the supposed secrecy only led to
more curiosity on the part of those
who were unaware that the witnesses
were after evidence, and not after
buried treasure" as some of the
negroes were led to believe was the
reason for the excavations.

BRAZIL INTERESTED IN
THE MEXICAN CRISIS

Rio De Janeiro, June 23.-The crisis
between Mexico and the United States
is being followed with keen interest
in Brazil and occupies large space
in the newspapers. The general tone
of the editorial comment is that Pres
ident Wilson, while actuated by the
best of motives, has run afoul of pre-
ponderating elements in Mexico which
are under German influence.
In official circles hope is expressed
that war will be avoided, but it is
fully recognized that the continued
disorders in Mexico must end in wear
ing the most sincere well-wisher of
the country. There is a general agree
ment that some end must be put to
the present intolerabie situation so
that the pacific development of the
peoples of America may be assured.
DR.. Lauro Muellere, Brazilian min
lister Of foreign affairs, who has been
selected as chief arbitrator in the

the United States tomorrow on the
