KAISER GETS SPEECH
Wilson Plea Sent to Emperor at
the Front.
Address Hurried to Ruler and Won Hin.
denburg-Berlin Approves the
Sentiment.


Berlin, Jan 25.-Presfdent WfIS5ffs
senate speech was telegraphed to the
kaiser and Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg at the front. Ambassador Gerard
conferred for 40 minutes with Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman and later cabled
the state department at Washington
confidential outline of the German for
eign Office impression of the statement.
The newspapers are slow IN express
ing an opinion, the text of which was
received by them shortly before going
to press.
The afternoon papers refrained from
any comment, even the headlines be.
ing noncommittal, and the stock mar.
ket, which usually is the most respon.
sive barometer of popular sentiment,
seemed to be unaffected.
Nevertheless the speech occupies
large part of the restricted columns Of
the press and is regarded as the news
feature of the day.
James w. Gerard, the American am.
bassador, transmitted the text of the
speech to the foreign office.
Meanwhile the presidents sentiments
are viewed with interest and favor.
Whether Germany can take official cog
nizance of the declarations is not yet
clear.
Informal discussion by foreign Office
officials, however, developed the belief
that Germany cannot take official cog
nizance of the address. Officials de-
sire to await senate debate on the adj
dress, feeling that statement from
Germanyr-even one discussing peace
terms-would be an interference In
American affairs. Besides Germany
does not consider the time opportune
to state her terms, though being will
ing to discuss the speech itself.
Except for small conservative
group among the socialists, all of Presi-
dent Wilson's ideas found ready sup
port today. 1t was believed Ambassa-
dor Gerard found the foreign Offices
impression likewise favorable.

End" to Miss Hummel's Life
Journey.

CIR I'D Rapids, Mich, Jan. 25.--Al-
bert o. Braun of Chicago was found
not guilty by jury in the United
States district court of violating the
Mann white slave act by transporting
from Chicago to Muskegon Elsa Hum
nell, fifteen-year-old girl.
The verdict was returned after the
jury had deliberated a greater part of
the night and morning. When the
verdict was returned Braun collapsed,
but was quickly revived and personally
thanked the Jury for It's verdict.
I E ia one real love match that the
3 Y Tn 6t 3 ties government failed To
break up, Braun said. Il am going
to Muskegon and resume my business
affairs, and just as soon as can secure
a divorce from my first wife am going
to marry Elsa Hummell. That girl
loves me, but her mind was poisoned
against me by the department of JUS
tice officials, and she testified to things
which were not true. She realized this
too late, but the jury believed my
story"
Elsa ,Hummell has been hurried out
Of the city to Chicago by her mother
to prevent her returning to Braun.
I'm view of all the circumstances in
this case, the verdict you gentlemen
have returned, is probably the best"
Judge Sessions said. "You have OBJ
tanned peep into conditions that exist
In cetrain stratum of society, and
this case is not an isolated one.
Il tried to be patient to the one side
on which there was a silly fool of a
girl who, whatever her condition prior
to meeting the respondent, had lost
sense Of shame and now apparently
glories in the notoriety she has at
tracted.
"She does not know where she Is
going, but the end Of her. journey is
just as certain as 1t is sad.
ION the other side I tried to be pa
tient with man who, from his own
confession, is guilty of immoral con-
duct, stamps himself as a moral and
social pervert. He is man whose
ideas are expressed from a distorted
mind"
