Herald Coz
If the atmosphere in the Offices Of
the Evening Mail was rapidly becom-
ing one of suspicion, there was an
even greater mass of suspicion from
the outside centering about DR..
Rumely and to lesser extent about
everyone else in a responsible posi-
ton in the management of the news
paper.
AS a matter of fact, I never had
any evidence of any actual spying or
intrigue inside the Office; such diff
ferences as arose between DR.. Rune
ly on the one hand and the other di-
rectors and department heads were
sought out in the open-at least
so far as the rest of us were
concerned. DR.. Rumely had said he
wanted to be checked up when he was
wrong. We took him at his word, and
there were many lively encounters.
Doctor Rumely, so far as / can re-
call, never acknowledged or admit
ted openly pro-German policy;
rather than avow, even to those
closely associated with him, an intent
to serve the German cause. he would
frequently yield his point when it was
pointed out to him that to pursue
course he had determined upon would
intensity the suspicion that already
surrounded the paper.
Either the Mail was owned by the
German government or it was not;
nobody in the organization except
Dr.. Rumely and Mr.. Kaufman was
in a position to know; it took the
United States government three years
to get proof that the money came
from the hands of Captain Boy-Ed.
But the effort to ascertain the
source of the money that bought the
paper and the influences behind it be-
gan almost with the transfer of the
property; perhaps even earlier.
Forced to Deny Hun Ownership.
DR.. Rumely had assured Mr.. Nc
Clure and myself that there was no
German money in the property. when
challenged from outside sources.
More than once the positive asser-
ton that the Mail was German
owned got into print. DR.. Rumely
either got Mr.. Mcclure to sign the
denial, or worded his own denial in
such a way that it did not actually
deny the main charge, when he did
not ignore it altogether.
We had been in possession of the
paper barely two weeks when a cir
cumstantial statement charging DR..
Rumely with being the head of the
German secret service in America and
asserting that the transfer of the
Evening Mail to its new owners was
dictated and planned by the German
ambassador, was widely published.
Dr.. Rumely denied both allegations.
So far as l know his denial was
technically a correct statement. l do
rot believe he was ever head of the
German secret service, and the Mail
quite probably was neither "dic-
tated" nor planned" by the German
ambassador. But his letter of denial
elected from the editor of the news
paper that originally published the

charge-a letter that the doctor never
answered.
Questioned In Detail.
This letter was sent TO DR.. Rumely
en- June l8, 1915. Four copies were
sent each registered. One was ad-
crossed to him in care Of the German
ambassador, one in care of the HAM
burg rg-American Steamship line, one
to Captain Boy-Ed's New York Office
and one to the Evening Mail. So far
as the sender of it knows, he received
all four. | have copy of the letter
before me. 1t asked DR.. Rumely FIVE
categorical questions:
First: By denial do you intend the
public to believe that you have not
during the past six months had many
conferences with Captain Boy.Ed,
that you have not given suggestions
or advice or been in any way ap-
preached by or have yourself con-
ferred with Captain Boy-Ed or the
German ambassador or any represen-
tatives of the German government in
this country with regard to matters
OF policy or questions Of publicity!
Second: Do you deny that even
since the sinking OF the Lusltania
you have engaged in personal in-
vestigation in behalf OF official Ter
man representatives?
Third: Do you declare that no
representative of the German govern
ment in this country has ever con-
ferred with you or talked with you in
regard to the purchase by German
interests or German-American inter-
ests of a daily newspaper, or that the
purchase Of the Evening Mail has not
been the subject of conversation be-
tween Captain Boyd and yourself
O. the German ambassador and your
self2
Fourth: Do you affirm that none
of the money used in acquiring the
Evening Mail property has come di-
rectly or indirectly from pro-German
sources and that there has never been
any suggestion or intimation that the
Evening Mail should favor the Ger
man cause in the present war or that
it should attack or seek to embarrass
the Wilson administration?
Fifth: Do you deny that you have
many times during the present year
been in conference with representa-
tvs of the German government in
this country in regard to the subject
of the purchase of ammunition in the
United States by and for the allies. or
the purchase of ammunition in this
country by and for Germany?
DR.. Rumely brought this letter to
my desk.
Il have been trying to draft reply
to this" he said, "but do not get ex-
actly the force in my reply that l
want. Who is the best person to write
voluminous reply? The man who
wrote this says here that he will print
whatever reply | want to make. |
want to send him letter that will
take up several columns of his news
paper"
What do you want to say as to
the point he raises?" | inquired.
II want to come back at him with
the most forceful kind of questions
and allegations concerning his own
activities" said the doctor. II know
all about this man, and he and his
paper are entirely irresponsible"
Rumely Refuses to Be Pinned.
I tried to pin the doctor down to
categorical denials, but he refused to
be pinned. He wanted letter writ

real issue and commit him to no posi-

of information that were illuminating,
would come to our attention.
Il never saw man who was so OBJ
viously trying to throw anyone who
might be following off his trail" one
of the men who had a good deal TO
do with tracing Doctor Rumely s
movements told me. Il have known
him to go as far north as Seventy

LIVE STOCK men
WILL ASK RAISE
IN COM MISSION
Demands Will Probably Be
Presented Administrator
Following Meeting
Friday.

Thunder clouds overhang the
South Side stock yards, with indica.
tions OF another storm to break soon
over the live stock commission rates
in which South Side live stock men
and the United States Department OF
Agriculture will be the principal per-
sons concerned. Low runlblings are
at present being heard in the yards Of
the high cost of everything and the
refusal of the local food administra.
tion to allow commission men to raise
their rates.
Local commission men maintain
that the cost OF upkeep has increased
from 50 to 100 per cent of what il
was year or so ago. Eastern mar
kets. they point out, are getting dou-
bic the commissions allowed in Oma-
ha. AT present they are receiving
less than one-third of per cent OF
sales as their commission, which, il
is said, is not sufficient to allow
them to make fair profit. During
the slack season one prominent COM
mission man says he was just making
expenses.
Refused Increase Last Year.
Last October Food Administrator
Wattles refused to allow the stock
men to increase their rates Is per
cent and in accordance with a set
scale. The present demand is for a
so per cent increase.
Operating at Cost.
Heads OF several commission firms
state that they are operating at cost.
One firm that does a large business
has made no profits for the last eight
months. Several of the firms report
no earnings for the last two months.
One firm that handles $l,500,000
worth of stock annually has made
only $500 during the last year, ac-
cording to its president.
The general feeling at the exchange
Is that if it were not for the increased
production of stock due to the war,
all but the longest established COM
mission firms would have been driven
out of business long ago. One prom
inent dealer stated that if some i'm
mediate change was not made, half
OF the firms doing business at present
would be forced to close. Starving"
Is the condition that some of the
firms are said to be in.
Upkeep Is High.
The cost of upkeep for horses was
raised S. head yesterday, making
the cost of the upkeep of one horse
now at least $3.50 a year.
Some firms face cutting down their
service to meet conditions. This
would mean shrinkage in the cattle
loss in the yards and general harm
to the stock, with poorer service to
the shippers. 1t is suggested that
shippers would rather pay higher
commissions than to suffer losses
through poor service.
