EXPERTS DEV0TING
EFFORTS AT CONCORD
TO SOLVE MYSTERY

CONCORD, N. c., Sept. 21.-Every
science of crime detecting is being
employed today to determine how
Mrs. Maude A. King. met her death at
the lonely Blackwelder spring, near
here, August 20.
Whether Mrs King accidentally
shot herself or was the victim of q
murder plot is a question the jury
must decide. To aid this decision, g.
IicItor Hayden Clement is arranging
for the testimony OF pi experts,
including Captain Jones of New
York, to .how whether the woman
could have been shot by herself as
Means describes.
Today's mystery surrounded a tale
OF a blood-stained bag. 1t develops
that Charles 8. Dry, a farmer who
has been called to testify. found .
paper bag so stained ne, the scene
on the day following the shooting. 1t
is believed the State will use this
evidence in an attempt to show that
an effort was made to hide the cir
cumstances Of death.

Thousands OF pupils. particularly

tobsr is, and from then until Novem-

OF MRS. BINGHAM

she had written a codicil to her will

test has been made by relatives. The

Some of the most prominent medl-
cal men in the country have been
summoned to conduct the autopsy.
Mrs. Bingham married Judge Bing-
ham In New York in November. OF
last year. Her death occurred in
July. last, after a brief illness. Acute
heart disturbance was given as the
cause OF her death.
A well-founded report here today Ia
that an effort Is being made to reach
an agreement in the controversy over
the codIcil. Unless an agreement Is
reached Il 10 certain to prove 4 long
and expensive contest.
A report from Lexington, KY, says
that all parties to the controversy
have agreed to make no change in the
administrator OF the Kentucky estate
OF Mrs. Bingham.
The marriage OF Judge Bingham
and the Flagler widow eight months
before the latter's death was the cul-
mination OF a romance of twenty
years standing. Mrs. Flagler. who
was Miss Lilly keenan,. OF Keenans-
willie, N. c.. fell in love with Blng-
ham, when he was a student at the
law school OF the University OF Vir-
ginia twenty years ago. Relatives
OF the young man objected to the
proposed alliance.

Langemarck cleared up q number
of strong points. and completed
the capture OF objectives in these
localities.
1t Is now established that in
the many counter attacks deliver

enemy during the afternoon and
evening his casualties were un-
usually great.
The clear light OF the latter
part OF the day enabled our
troops to obtain warning Of i'm
pending attacks. and in every
case the advancing lines OF Ger
man infantry were destroyed by
the concentrated ire from our
rifles. machine guns. and artillery.
The obstinacy with which the
enemy constantly repeated his at

without recovering for him any
of the valuable ground which we
had won
Exhausted by his previous ef-

trust the Department OF Justice and
the Secret Service will go to the bot
tom Of this thing and that the organi-
zation which has been built up in this
country through the efforts OF the
German government Will be rooted

This was the declaration today OF
Senator Husting of Wisconsin, the
man who. at the time Congress was
flooded with kilograms by the EN-
barge conference, delivered a speech
in the Senate in which lie charged
these telegrams were inspired and
gave warning to any foreign govern
ment that might have hand IN the
matter that America was prepared to
defend it's rights This was in April,
1916, about a year before the war.
L. Not Surprised.
Senator Husting has given much
attention to German propaganda in
this country. When told today OF the
message OF Bernstorf given out BY
Secretary Lansing. he said:
This f. highly interesting informa-
tion, but l am not surprised. | my
self have an order for $1,000 TO be
paid to a certain publication signed
by Bernstorf.
II do not know whether there will
be a Congressional investigation as
the result Of this. / myself think
that il requires intensive inquiry. and
that it is a matter for the Depart
ment OF Justice and the Secret Serv-
ice. l hope they will take hold Of 1t.
and I have no doubt they have given
some phases Of il attention
THE thing that impresses me. how
ever, is that Bernstorff has been gone
for months and yet the propaganda goes
IN. Now It was apparent long before We
entered the war that all OF this propa-
kanda was not coming forth by chance.
Il was clear that Il was inspired by
some astute, powerful clever source. and
that source was the German government.
Bernstorff was not the only medium
through which money was paid out.
Millions Spent Heref
q have no doubt that millions Of dol

bringing about a better understand
ing among the belligerents of the
bases of a durable peace. The Ger.
man ambassador knew that unre-
stricted submarine warfare was to be
proclaimed on February 1. He knew
1t meant war. Herr Zimmerman, in
the German foreign office, also knew
1t meant war, and on January 10 was

German Trickery.
Outwardly Germany was moving for
peace and telling her own people that
the entente was engaged in a war OF
conquest
Diplomatic relations were broken on
February and teIegrams began pour
ing in on Congress from all parts OF
the country, many OF them similar in
phraseolOgy and giving every appear
ance Of an organized propaganda
among German-Americans particu-
larly. There is no intimRtion or sug-
Eestion today that any members of
Congress was approached in attempt
ed bribery. At the State Department,
for instance, 1t was pointed out that
indirect influence was probably what
the German ambassador planned 10
exert by means of kilograms and IN
dividuals. some of whom we're not
aware that they were really working
in the German interest
Count Won Bernstorff was frequent
iy suspected of wrongdOing. but never
proved guilty of it. In the latter part
of January he was q frequent visitor
at the State Department for purposes
OF informal negotiation on the sub
marine question He was trusted to the
extent OF being given audiences by the
Secretary OF State, but at the same time
he is now shown to have been secretly
plotting to raise funds Wherewith TO
mould a public sentiment favorable TO
continued neutrality and German in
terests.
He was being trusted, but under
meath he was plotting to raise funds
wherewith t" mold a public senti-
ment favorable to continued neu-
trality and German interests.
The ambassador once told this cor
respondent that he didn't approve OF
many things his government had
done or wanted done, but that pro-
priety went by the boards in war
time.
This is the German conception OF
using every means. fair or foul, in the
interest OF military necessity
But the State Departmet has now
proved, through the Swedish revela-
tions and the BernstOrff message. that
even German diplomacy IL corrupt and
ruthless, and that President Wilson
Is right In refusing to deal with the
present imperial German government
and only with a trustworthy and re-
sponsible government. backed by the
free people of Germany.
