Government, Expecting Dill atory Tactics, Is Prepared for Bitter Contest, Wood Announces-Seized Docu- ments Used Before U. S. Jury-Tauscher Seriously Involved.

New York, April 29.-What was re- garded as the first definite proof of this Governments decision to disre- gard the demands of Count Johann von Bernstorff, the German Ambas- .sador, in connection with the arrest of Wolf won Ige1 and the seizure of seventy pounds of secret German doc uments came late yesterday afternoon in this statement of Assistant Fedder- al Attorney Roger B. Wood to a reporter:
 'ewe shall press for the immediate trial of Wolf von Ige1. We expect the case to be bitterly contested and we are looking for the employment of di1atory tactics by opposing counsel
 One of the two principal co-ordin- ate demands of the German Ambassa- dor was the release of won Ige1 on the ground of diplomatic immunity.
 The attitude of the Government is regarded as being further attested by the official admission of these facts:
 That the Federal Grand Jury is ex- pected to return a superseding indict- ment,{ probably next Wednesday, against won Igel.
 That the new indictment will be based upon information in those of the von Ige1 documents which tell of the We11and Canal plot.
 The Federal attorneys have used the actual papers before the Grand Jury.
 Included in the demand for the re- turn of the papers were these subor- dinate demands: That this Govern ment make no use whatsoever of the seized documents; that they be inn me diately sealed and returned; that regardless of what disclosures they made, said disclosures be treated as though they had never been made, and all photographic plates and pho
 I. -7 papers.
 with the admissions regarding the use regarded yesterday as furnishing to make full use of all the seized papers as far as they aid the prosecution of men believed to be guilty of violating the criminal laws of the United States, regardless of the German Enbassy's request, and it was pointed out at the Federal Build ing yesterday that the Department of Justice has insisted upon this from the start
 This, however. does not mean that Count von Bernstorff will not even tually get back some of the papers, pr possi bly, all of them. But Federal officials here insist that their return will be predicated on the separation of the official from the unofficial ones by the German Ambassador him self.
 There appeared to be good basis for the report that the Grand Jury

A Custom Forced by Native Fsuds In
the Melanesian islands.
In the Melanesian islands the natives
carry on feuds with u more relentless
hatred even than the vendettistes Of
Corsica. In these islands Christianity
has been made. at least in outward
aspect, the religion Of the people.
That 1t really does mean something
to the Melanesian Is evidenced BY the
reply received from an intelligent old
chief when asked him why he did not
become Christian.

and sent 1t rolling into the valley be-

SO shocked and scandalized were the
natives that a revolt seemed imminent,
and Lord Combermere quieted the out
ragged natives by restoring the image
to its pedestal and ordering the regi-
ment to salute it In full view Of all.
Since that time a British troop has
hept watch over the tiger idol day by

Another Indian Idol which is watch.
ed over by the British is the god
whose name is Kiak Kiak. equivalent
to "Lord Of Lords" which is supposed
to be asleep for 5000 years and whose
awakening will be the end Of all
things.
