Swedish Minister Says Won
Bernstorf Letter Was
Not Moved by Him.

W. A. F. Ekengren, Swedish Minis
ter to the United States. had a lengthy
conference with Secretary of State
Lansing Saturday. Yesterday he
authorized the following statement:
81 am positive that the Bernstorn
letter never passed through my lega-
ton"
1t was learned that the Swedish lega-
tion here for some time did permit the
German legation to use its diploma
tic wires. This practice, however. was
stopped at the request OF Minister
Ekengren some time before Bern
storff was sent from the country and
some time before the Bernstorf let
ter asking for $4,000 for the corrup-
ton OF the United States Congress was
sent.
The State Department, II became
known yesterday, was able TO trace
this letter from almost the moment II
left Won Bernstorffs hands until it
came into the hands OF the persons
who gave it 10 Secretary Lansing. 1t
could not be learned whether it had
actually reached Berlin.
Holland Suspected.
The denial by Mr.. Ekengren OF any
Swedish connection with the Bern
storff note, apparently denial made
with the knowledge OF the State De-
partment, taken IN conjunction with
the criticisms of Hollands neutrality
contained in the expose Of the Com
mittee on Information have aroused
the suspicion that Holland was the
channel through which the Bernstor1
communication may have passed.
ChevalIer can Rappard. the Dutch
Minister, was not here yesterday and
in his absence no one would discuss
any possible Dutch connections with
the Bernstorff note. The new Dutch
Minister has not yet arrived in this
country.
Mr.. Ekengren. the Swedish Minister.
stated yesterday that the trunks OF
Sweden's special envoy, which have
been detained by the English at Hall
fax. contain the information as TO ex-
ports and food consumption in Sweden
hich the Food Administration asked
for some time ago.
Mr.. Ekengren stated that the special
envoy had asked permission to opeh
this trunk en- route so that he might
work on the translation of the data.
| He asserts that the trunk was not

grant this permission.

MAY BE IMPEACHED
Five More Arrests Also Expected
Following Political Debauchery.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-The arrest
OF five men high in political and po-
lice circles within the next twenty
hours is anticipated as a result of
the sensational disclosures of crime
and debauchery in the Fifth ward.
Mayor Smith, now under $4,000
bail on the charge of conspiracy as a
result of the murder of Policeman
George A. Eppley in the Bloody
Fifth" last Wednesday. has gone to
Atlantic City. where he has been in
conference with the Ware brothers,
his political sponsors. The mayor is
bordering on a state of collapse as a
result of the charges against him.
impeachment proceedings have been
talked of, and some of his close ad-
visers are talking of having him re-
sign.
The five men marked for arrest are
said to have been named in the con-
fession made by one of the four
alleged gunner arrested in New York
as their employees and men who aided
them.
1t also was revealed that Select
Councillor Harry J. Trainer. an ad-
herent of Senator McNichol and leader
of the Third ward, also was marked
for death. The program laid out for
the sixteen gunmen bought to Phila-
delphia last Monday night included
not only the cleaning up of the
Fifth ward and the murder of Carey,
but an invasion of the Third ward.
the tcrrorizing of the voters there and
the slayer of Trainer.
Trainers activity in demanding that
the Third ward be clean, that gamb-
ing and disorderly houses. said to
have been operating with police pro-
lection, be eliminated and that the
ward be made safe for respectable
persons. is declared to have been the
motive for the plotted murder.

When asked today whether he
thought a Congressional investigation
OF the charges implied in the Bern

II do not think it would add very
much TO the successful prosecution of
the war or the elaboration of the pol

solved. The people generally under
stand that in building their network
of intrigue and conspiracy. Austria

to believe that. / do not think
