s 3 ffous Charge Filed
I Against Clerk in Payette
Post Office Bound Over

Capital News Special Service.)
Payette, April 29.-Payette citizens
were shocked here tonight to learn of
the arrest of William N. Carstens, for
IL years a trusted clerk In the local
post office, by federal officials on the
charge of forgery and rifling of the
mails to which he has made a signed
confession. Carstens was taken before
United States Commissioner l.. M.
Lyon, waived examination, and was
placed under $1,000 bond given by his
father, Henry Carstens and H. Trecht
He was bound over to the federal dis
trict court for appearance Sept. IT.
Carstens is 28 years old, is one of the
best known of the younger men in the
city, and has been held in the highest
respect. He is married and the father
of one child.
For year Carstens is alleged to
have carried on his rifling of mails and
might have continued to do so indefin-
itely had it not been for the fact he
failed to intercept a letter which cast
the first suspicion toward him. 1t seems
that a trapper some time ago gave
Carstens some furs to send east. Car
stems accommodated the trapper and
when the check arrived for the furs he
took It, Forging the check he sent it
east to a mail order house for some
goods. The goods arrived in due time.
However, it developed that the amount
of the check was more than the amount
of goods ordered. Carstens having mis-
calculated, 1t is alleged, and the mail
order house sent a letter addressed to
the name appearing on the check, that
of the trapper, which he received. Hav-s
ing sent no order east for goods, the
trapper made an inquiry and the fed
eral officials were put on the case.
The Specific Charges.
Tonight Carstens was taken into
custody by Charles Arbuekle, deputy
United States marshal on a warrant
sworn out by A. C. Ballard, post office
inspector. The charges against him on
which the complaint and warrant are
based and as enumerated in his con-
fession are briefly as follows, it is al
legged:
Opened letter and extracted check
for $50 which he forged and cashed.
Appropriated $10.50 in payment for a
bathrobe ordered from the Oregon City
Woolen Mills. check made payable to
one Albertson.
Rifled a letter and extracted S48
check made payable to a Portland op-
tical company for camera.

Washington, April 2s.-The kaiser
must meet President Wilson's demands
in their entirety or not at all
This was the point of view tonight
of men in close touch with the Ger
American relations as the Ger
man reply is awaited. Unofficial dis
patches state it will be in Washington
early next week. In German circles It
is said it will be accompanied by
personal communication from Kaiser
Wilhelm to President Wilson Mer,
close to the president Indicated strong
ly that mere language win have no

is no need for any exchange of views,
1t is said.
The German reply must show that
what the president demanded is being
done and is to be done in the future,
IL friendly relations are to continue.
Apprehension Is Felt.
1t cannot be denied there is consid-
cradle apprehension, not only among
officials close to the president, but also
among members OF congress that Ger
many will not wholly meet the presi-
dents demands. There is a grow .ng
tendency to center on the question:
What will the president do If the
kaiser doesn't yieid?',
The reply voiced Is that the presi-
dent literally has burned his bridges;
he has no intention whatever of back
ing pom his demands; he hopes for
and wishes for continued friendly re-
lations with Germany but feels that
maintenance of these is now entirely

Despite the obligations of secrecy it
was learned that Obregon informally
presented his demand for the with
drawal and when informed by Scott
that he would have to refer the ques-
tion to Washington, Obregon took little
part in the subsequent proceedings.
Obregon said that suggestions Scott
presented regarding the use of the Mex

tion, establishment of a "deadline"
south of which the American troops
would not go and a border police could
not be discussed as they involved the
demand that the troops come out Of
Mexico.
At no time did the conference reach
the point of friction, but the Mexican
envoys showed a disposition to adhere
to this demand. A way out of the diff
ferences was seen in message re-
ceived by Garcia from Colonel Carlos
at Cusihuirachic, reporting additional
rumors of Villas death. Carranza said
he was investigating. Villas death, IL
