embassy which Count Won Hernstorif
left III America when he was sent

which was set on foot by the ex.alabae-
sador while he was representing Ger.

Won der Goltz, according to his own
confession at the trial in New York
of Capt. Hans Tauscher, was closely
associated in these intrigues with
Franz Won Papen, formerly German
military attache in this country. 1t
was because Won Papen betrayed him
TO the English government and almost
caused his execution as spy that Won
der Goltz, as he declares. turned
against his former masters and deter
mined upon complete exposure OF the
secret methods OF Berlin.
Coming to America at the time OF
the Madero uprising In Mexico, he en-
tered the United States army, later de-
sorting and joining the Mexican revo.
lutionists. He eventually drifted into
the service Of Villa, and left the forces
of "Pancho" only when summoned to.

England on forged passport bearing
the name Of "Bridgeman Taylor" La
ter, when Won Papen was sent home to

British officials implicated Won der
Goltz in alleged acts OF espionage
against England, and the spy was ar

the penalty Of death, but was finally
released in order that he might go to
america and testify against his for.

Tauscl.er.

The long heralded field day of the
group which has secured control OF
American Hide and Leather preferred
stock arrived yesterday. 1t was sched-
uled TO appear several days ago. but
something went wrong with the system
evidently, and the scalping of the shorts
was not carried out according to origi-
nal plans. Yesterday, however, there
was general movement to mark the
price upward, and the short interest
which is known to be tremendous in
proportion to the floating supply Of
stocks, was put hard to it to get out
with anything like a reasonable loss.
Point by point the stock was pushed up
ward until it reached levels appalling to
those who have been fighting the ad
vance from so and lower. 1t was de-
clared last night that there still re-
mains few OF the more obstinate bears
to be driven to the woods How long
IL will take to make them back water
seems to be the question which is agi-
tating the controlling interests in the
stock just now.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Opinion Divided.

Wall Street was divided at the close
yesterday in its opinion of the stock
market. Whereas there is IL very large
number who feel that reaction Is due
and that the short interest has been
virtually all driven in. there are others
who are just as bullish as ever and who
maintain that the top of the rise has not
yet been reached. Nevertheless, the ma
1ority Of commission houses yesterday
reported important realizing sales which
appear to be well absorbed in the mar
ket. Last Thursday the stock market
had sensational rise and on Friday
the expected reaction did not come. This
was something of puzzle to old mar
ket students. but they were confident
that Monday would see the setback,
coming as II did, the day after n double
holiday. However, Monday witnessed
another rise and on Tuesday the slight
decline which came was SO small as to
be hardly worthy of the name Each
day since then the much talked of re-
action has been looked for. and each day
1t has been placed twenty-four hours
further away.

terialize. Early in the day the pre-

10 6S and the common at AK, falling
off later on to 1874. Had there been a
quorum 1t is probable that nothing would
have been declared on the preferred, as
the rental contract has not been signed
as yet. although the Government has
submitted contract to the St. Paul exec
utiVes. Under the circumstances there
Is considerable sentiment in the board
against the payment Of anything on the

short covering predominated, and 1t is
said that one or two men in the case OF
both issues control the market for these
particular stocks. 1t was difficult to
ascertain In the stock loan market the
actual rate for borrowings of Hide and

the generally accepted version was that
the renewals were made fiat and new
