Special Dispatch to The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-The Pres
dential campaign of Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer in Pennsylvania
wa sofficially launched here to-day at a
conference Of local and state Demo-
cratic leaders. After the conference
former Congressman Bruce, Of Sterling,
campaign manager for N.Y. Palmer, an
nounced the formation Of the Palmer
Pennsylvania campaign committee in
every one Of the thirtw-two Congress
sional districts Of the state.
Mr.. Sterling declared that the fight
for a solid delegation from this state
to the Democratic National Convention
at San Francisco next June, pledged to
support Attorney General Palmer for
the Presidential nomination. will be i'm
mediately opened.
Particular significance is attached to
to-day's conference in view of the fact
that cali had been issued by the anti
Palmer Democrats last week for con-
ference in the Bellevue Stratford Hotel
tomorrow. 1t is believed by many per-
sons that the opponents of the ATTORNEY
General within the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania will decide at to-morrows
conference to enter candidates against
Palmer in virtually every district.
While no stand has been taken by the
Palmer leaders in this state upon the
liquor question, the personnel of the

Statement Defendant In
formed Berlin of Fact

PARIS, March 5.-All the five wit
nesses heard and the dispositions read
thus far in the case of former Premier
Joseph Caillaux, on trial before the
Senate sitting as high court, charged
with having intrigued with the Ger
mans for the promotion of premature
and dishonorable peace, have dealt
almost exclusively with the negotia-
tions in connection with the incident
at Agadir, Morocco. where the Ger
mans landed force of troops from the
gunboat Panther in 1911.
The members of the court showed
some impatience at the trend of the
evidence to-day, Prosecutor Lescouve
having already informed the court that
the Agadir negotiations were not in
cluded in the charges against Callaux.
senator Cornet, crosse examining Mau-
rice Herbette, formerly chief clerk in
the Foreign Office, after the latter's
lengthy testimony concerning the
Agadlr treaty, asked him if he knew
anything about the charges against
CalllauX as far as intelligence with the
enemy was concerned. Senator Bouv-
re forestalled an answer by requesting
the court to discuss whether further
evidence concerning Agadir should be
accepted.
German Code Known in Paris
The evidence brought out to-day
showed that cipher kilograms from the
German Embassy in Paris to Wilhelm
strasse from 1901 to 1911 might as we'll
nave been sent in plain language, as
the German code was an open book to
the French Foreign Office throughout
these years. A deposition of Alexan-
Dire R.. Comfy, French Ambassador to
Brazil, charging that Caillaux divulged
to Baron Won Lancken- Wakenitz, then
German Charge d'Affaircs at Paris, the
Tact that the German code was known
to the Foreign Office, causing an i'm
mediate change in the cipher was con-
tradicted by the deposition of former
President Poincare, whom NJ. Comfy
gave as his authority for the charge.
The testimony of Justin de Salves,
Foreign Minister under Caillaux, which
was expected TO cause q great debate
between the accused and the witness,
did not come up to expectations. The
former Minister declared he retained
the opinion that the sending of a
French warship to Agadir in the wake
OF the Panther was the logical move,
while Caillaux maintained that it would
have been great imprudence and
might have caused war
Kaiser Termed "Piece of Fur"
The accused produced what he
termed corroboration letters from AL
fred Won Kidcrlen- Waechter, former
German Foreign Secretary, in which
DR.. Won BcthmannH Hollwcg, former In
perial Chancellor, was continually re-
ferred to as "a little beast" and the
Kaiser as "a piece of fur" The de-
tense claimed these letters proved that
Germany was aggressive and wanted
war.

A proposal to establish municipal
bus line, with a five-cent fare, from
St. George ferry to Fox Hills Army
Hospital. Staten Island, caused fare
up between President of the Board of
Aldermen La Guardia and Borough
President Van Name of Richmond at
the Board Of Estimate meeting yester-
day.
Van Name objected to La Guarda's
resolution authorizing the line on the
ground that the city should do nothing
to interfere with the line operated by
Albert C. Each, former District Attor-
ney of Richmond. La Guardia con-
tended that Each had no permit and
that friends of wounded soldiers were
compelled to pay 25 cents to ride in
his busses.
The resolution went over when Comp
troller Craig objected to its cons idera-

oughly investigated. La Guardia said
Colonel J. II. Ford, commandant Of the
