Vienna, april "a, Correspondence Of
The Associated Press. 1.-The story of
an eavesdropper who says he listened
in" on telephone wire and overheard
conversations between the former En-
peror Charles of Austria and persons
in Berlin just before hostilities ended
is published by the Narodni Politiken.
The aavesdropper was an electrician
named Oceanek, who claims to have
a private telephone wire between
Vienna and Berlin. 4
Oceanel1i declares that the conversa-
tons between the former Emperor
Charles and Berlin were Of purport
contrary to that given ont to the public.
The emperor, he said. always answered
the telephone call as Captain Kraus'
but sometimes, when he forgot, called
himself karl" He was often heard
TO deliver a severe verbal castigation
to some high staff officers
The private Wire was at the DISPOSE
ton Of others than royalty and the
eavesdropper states that a woman's
voice from Berlin was frequently heard
calling for the emperor. An another
occasion somebody in Vienna called up
Berlin asking for picture of well
known German film actress
The author of the disclosures asserts
that he was listening on the secret wire
on October 2S and overheard Berlin
asking Vienna for news.
1--WE are concluding peace on the
basis of the note Just received in view
of the hopeless situation" was Vienna's
reply. Soon afterward Vienna called
up Berlin and informed some one Of

conversation reported over the wire, as
soon afterward it was cut by u tele-

GOVERNOR o. H. SHOUP PAYS
GREAT TRIBUTE TO LATE Ex-
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AT
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.

~ ED-LETTER day at Zion last
~ Sunday when large body of
~ representative citizens filled the
sacred edifice to listen TO the COVER
nor of Colorado in his address on the
life of man, scholar, statesman, lead
er and international character whose
fame and good deeds are known in
both hemispheres, and whose doctrine
for love of country and loyalty To II
nation places his name in the cate
CORY of immortals, whose memory
posterity will delight to honor as they
worship at the shrine of the works of
world characters. The governor was
introduced by the pastor, Rev. ID. E.
Over, who briefly but i'm his usual
choice manner prepared his audience
for the eulogy that would follow, the
same being meritorious compliment
of our revered eX-president. On the
rostrum were professionals and busi-
ness men, while the choir of select
voices under the able leadership of
Madam Jean Hodges added to the sue
cess that attended the morning Wor-
ship of this historic church. The
speakers reminder of Colonel Roose-
velt's democratic action in his invita-
ton of one of the nations greatest
men, the late Booker T. Wash
ington, to dine with him mt the
White House, resurrected the spir-
1t and the principle of the
Republican Party, and the audience
expressed their gratitude by their
chautauqua salutes.- a boptism of a
female member of the church and the
pronouncing of the benediction
brought never-to-be forgotten event
to close.

That Negroes are employed in large
numbers in the foundries in Indian
apolis as molders and core-makers of
from two to fifteen years experience
is shown by reports just made by the
investigation and inspections service
to the director of Negro economics of
the U. S. Department of Labor. over
30 of these men were employed in six
foundries where Investigations We're
made In some of these foundrieS, as
the foreigners withdrew, many of
them to go home for war, the Negro
experience has come, in that the acci-
dent rate among Negro molders and
helpers has been found to be less than
it was among foreigners engaged in
the same work Another very inter-
esting fact is that both union and non
union white molders have worked
with these Negroes in most frienly co
operation and without friction. In In
dianapolis this Is considered unique in
the case of one foundry which is EN-
ploying Negro core-makers, as some
employers have feared to employ col,
ored men on this work lest the white
core-makers would refuse to work
with them. The general testimony of
the foundry owners and managers in
Il number of foundries is that the Ne
gro molderS have given entire salts
faction under the strenuous war pace,
and that the Negro is making good.
Some managers say that the condi-
tions that exist between workers de-
pend upon the individual and not up
on the race.
