GERMANY 4SANK' OVER A MILLION
 IN NEW YORK MAIL
Huge Sum Expended by the Kaiser in Attempt to In- fluence Public Opinion,
 Announces Becker

New York. August 2.--The German gov erninent sank an aggregate of s1,4S1.- TOO in it's attempt to influence a section of American pd blie opinion through the purchase of the New York Evening Mail, Alfred Becker, deputy attorney general of New York, announced tonight.
 After the arraigpment today of rr. Edward A. RurneIy, former publisher If the Mail, and s. Walter Kaufman, former director of the Mail and Express company, and one time counsel of the German embassy in the United States, on federal indictments growing out of the Mail purchase, MT. Becker made addi- tional disclosures regarding his investi- gation of the case for the department of justice
 He declared the money which went into the newspaper. coincldent with and fol- lowing Rumelys purchase in June, 1915 was paid by Count Won Bernstorff. then German ambassador to this country, and Dr. Heinrich Albert, commercial attaehe of the embassy. Payments were made, he said, through Walter Lyon of the Wall street firm of Lyon, Renskorf & Co Dr. Rumey, according to Mir. Becker, gave the German governments repre- sentatives notes for the huge sum in voIved, securing them with the entire capital stock of the Mail and Express company.
 ADMITTED PAYMENTS
 The deputy attorney general asserted Lyon has admitted making. the pay ments to Dr. Ftumely for a commission of S5001 paid him by Kauffmann's law firm Lyon received the funds in cash ers' certificates from various banks in which Won Berrstorff and Albert had de- posits. He testified he did not know the persons on whose order the banks issued the checks.
 Mir Becker stated evidence would be submitted to contradict the claim of pr Rumely thnt the funds with which he purchased the Mail were advanced by Hermann Sielcken, a wealthy New York coffee merchant who died in Germany in October, 1917, prior to the date of Rumelys statement of owner ship of the M 4 til to the allcn property custodian. III thIs statement Rumely listed a note for S100,000 held by Siel clen Is the 'only enemy interest in the newspaper
 MT. Becker asserted it was prepos- terous@ to ask anyone to believe that for this sum ssielcBen cancelled an ins dehtedness of almost s1,5o0000. shown by documentary evidence in possession of the authorities to have been in cured by RumeIy in his newspaper enterprise.
 LIABLE TO TEN YEARS
 The deputy attorney general charged that Tsumely and Kauffmann, both of whom made statements to the alien property custodian regarding the own ership of the Mail, are liable, if con victed, to 10 years Imprisonment un- der the trading with the enemy act. which became law almost two months before their statements were filed last December.
 The charge that the Evening Mail was owned by the German government is absurd. It is mine--absolutely mine and was subject to my sole editorial control" declared pr. Rumely in a statement tonight denying the charges of perjury and conspiracy to commit perjury in the indictments returned against him.
