WHISKY MAN PAYS The

One of Four Defendants Convicted
More Than Two Years Ago of
Defrauding Uncle Sam.

GREENSBORO, N C.-By the
payment today of 100000 t. Fed
eral Judge James E. Boyd, John F.
Smithdeal of Asheville, one of the
four defendants indicted two years
ago on charges of defrauding the
government of $4O3,OOO by illicit dis
tilling of liquors, settled the case
against him. w. c. Thompson, rep
resenting the department of justice,
intimated Smithdeal's action might
end the affair.
The case was opened in Florida
but transferred to North Carolina be-
cause Smithdeal was a resident of
this state. Guy Hartman, T. G. Nc
Coy and John L. Casper were the
other defendants. The latter had
been convicted and had served a
year in Fort Leavenworth when he
was pardoned because of giving val
liable information to the government.

WANTED MONEY TO
use ON CONGRESS
CABLEGRAM OF GERMAN AM
BASSADOR HAS CAUSED FU-
RORE IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. I'll
German gold has been used to in
tiuence congress, if Count Won Bern
storff, former ambassador to United
States, is to be believed. On January
~ last, when it seemed apparent
that President Wilson would act to
bring the United States into the war
as an enemy of the German empire,
Bernstorff cabled to the German for
eign office for permission to spend
$4,000 additional to influence con-
gress and prevent this country enter
ing the war.
Highly significant in this cable
gram, made public by the state de-
partment today, was the explanation
in asking authority to spend the
money of the then ambassador. He
frankly states that he wants to use
this gold "in order, as on former
occasions, to influence congress
through the organization you know
of"
And accepting the authority as al
ready granted, the ambassador add
ed: Il am beginning in the mean
time to act accordingly"
Bernstorff realized that the agita-
ton of that element of Irish-Ameri
cans who had been demanding a free
irish republic was open to influence.
he concluded his cablegram by de-
claring that an official German dec
laration in favor of Ireland sis high
ly desirable in order to gain the sup
port of Irish influence here"
The state department made no
comment in handing out the copy of
the cablegram. Officials said that it
spoke for itself. 1t had all of the
effect of a bomb-shell on congress,
however, where the members at
once began a campaign for addition
al information.
From the floor of the house this
afternoon Representative Hefin, of
| Alabama, demanded an immediate
congressional investigation to deter
mine whether any member of con-
gress had received any of the $780,
600 asked by the former German am
bassador.
Long Undeciphered.
In connection with the cablegram
made public today it was learned
that it and many others were in the
hands of the state department for a
l.
ciphered and decided. The experts
here in this country failed to make
accurate translations. The British
government rendered the services of
its best code experts, an official of
Scotland Yard, and he came here.
Working with state department ex-
perts he finally arrived at a COM
plete translation of all of the mes
sages sent forward by Count Won
Bernstorff through a discovery of the
general code plan. This expert also
assisted in DECIDING the Zimmerman
Japanese-Mexican message. Incident
ally he still is in this city.
The state department minated
that congress hardly was in a posi-
ton to know that it was being OPP
Grated upon by Bernstorff's agents.
In this connection, it was stated that
one of the methods which were most
used in the endeavor to influence
congress to Germany's cause was by
means of a food of inspired tele-
grams sent to various leaders in
both branches.
1t was pointed out that the Ian
guage used by the ambassador indi-
Gated that he had not worked di-
rectly on senators and representa-
tives, but that he had operated
through other channels which were
in a position to influence Individual
members.
