MEXICO ISSUES
DENIAL OF TALK
WITH GERMANY

Mexico City, July 29-DenfaI of
published charges that the national
wireless station at Chapultepec was
used to communicate with Germany
during the world war and that its
personnel is German in It's most i'm
portant components is made in a
statement printed by Ell Heraldo De
Mexico over the signature Of F.
Frias, the new director-genera1 of
the national telegraph lines.
According to Senior Frias. the Cha
pultepec plant was in process of con-
struction from the middle of 1917 to
the middle of 1919 and, because it
could not function at full efficiency
during that time, communication with
Nauen was an impossibility.
Senior Frias asserts that the only
Germans connected with the station
are employed in the shop annexes
and are engaged exclusively in MAX
ing new wireless equipment for sub
stations while Mexicans direct and
operate the station.
The Mexican wireless system, Senior
Fr1as states, consists of % stations,
IA on the coasts and nine IN the in
terror. The coastal stations are
mainly for maritime service, while
the interior stations, with Chapulte-
pee, are for the service Of the gov
eminent, especially when other~lines
| of communication are cut, a contin-
| gency he declares has been, unfor-
tunate1y, common during the last Ia
| years.

HOP DEMAND IS
PUZZLING AGENTS

Washington, July 2e.-One of the
most puzzlfng phenomenon Of Prohf-
bftien in the United States is a con-
tinuing demand for hops, which are
the source Of the ''b1tter" principle
characteristic Of beer developed by
Am erican brew masters.
The production of hops now is as
heavy in 1917. a wear before war
time Prohibition became effective
The breweries, which used the bulk of
the crop, have stopped beer making.
Officials are unable to account for the
prevailing strong demand
In 1917, with breweries in operation,
this country had $500 acres planted
lin hops and a production Of 29,3sS. 900
pounds. Exports amounted to 4,11S,0o0
pounds. In 1918 production was M,-
4S1, 900 pounds. Last year, 1919, pro-
duction was 29,s46,O 900 pounds. It. is
estimated that about %, O00, 600 pounds
will be produced this year, showing a
steady climb back toward the pre-
Prohibition use.
Unless exports jump greatly In ex-
cess of last years, which totalled
| T. 1856, 952 pounds, about three-fourths Of
the American crop will remain here.

SOLDIER TELLS
fine SCHEME
TO LOOT VETS

Washington, July 2s.-Testimony
tending to show that Daniel E.
O'Keefe, a lawyer of New Britain,
Conn, exscted SO per cent from
number of wounded soldiers Of the
late war in connection with the war
risk frauds, was presented Tuesday to
the federal grand jury at Washington.
-Four of the alleged victims told their
stories to the grand jurors. The wit
nesses also implicated Aloysius A,
Young of New Britain the man
that sought them cut and sent them
to OKeefe>
George e King of Waterbury re-
ceived a check for 81, s42, he says, out
of which he peid O'Keefe one-half,
Julius Rastow Of Bristol was entitled
to $947 for his disabilities, but gave
one-half, he said, to OKeefe. Vim
cent Rosenfitz of New Britain had
claim of 5000, but received only one
half. He said that O'Keefe, when
asked what it would cost, told him
that others were paying SO per cent
and he consented to the same figures.
Clifton T. Gibbons of New Haven
said he was approached by man
calling himself Burke, but who, he
learned later was Young, who de-
manded one-half for securing the
claim of $500 due Gibbons. Burke or
Young sent him to O'Keefe, who &C
companied the witness to Washington.
Gibbons consulted his brother, who re-
ferred the matter to a detective at
New Haven. When Gibbons received
his check he declined to pay O'Keefe's
alleged demand but later gave him SIS
he said.
Assistant United States Attorney
Arth, who Is conducting the invesu-
ga ton, said that the government has
| evidence of a number of such frauds
on veterans Of the world war living
\ traced to OKeefe. To avoid the ex-
pense of bringing a large number OF
witnesses to Washington, he selected
the four witnesses presented Tuesday
| The names of the war risk employees
connected with the alleged transaction
of OKeefe and Young are William F
Salisbury and David M. Griswold.
| The quartet will be charged, if the
grand jury returns presentments. with
violating sections SIS, 81, 113 and lit OF
the penal code. The first two sections
refer to conspiracy to defraud the
United States and the others to hZtb
cry and attempted bribery.

ANTWERP CROWDS
START MOVEMENT
AGAINST GERMANS

Antwerp, Belgium, July 29.-Antwerp
Belgians who suffered in the war have
launched a radical movement against
the few score Germans who, since the
peace treaty became effective, have
managed to re- establish themselves in
business there.
The movement, known as ffHeraus
les Boches," developed spontan eously
with big parade here recently and
since then the property of some Ger
man merchants has been attacked.
sHeraus les Boches'' placards have
been displayed in many shop win
dows. The term, a combination of
German and French, is meant to ex-
press the sentiment, "Out with the
Germans"
The Belgian foreign office has stated
that only a few Germans have been
permitted to enter the country and
that they had been for many years
residents of Antwerp before the war.

RENEW DEMAND
FOR RELEASE OF
JAMES LARKIN

Dublin, July 29-There is renewed
q citation in Ireland for the release
from prison of James Larkin, now
serving a sentence in America. Some
of the town councils have taken up
the matter, and are busy passing
resolutions about it.
At Mullinger the Town Council de-
manded Larkin's release, and Mr..
Brett, a member of the County
Council, said that, as Larkin was an
Irish citizen any communication with
reference to him from the American
government should be made through
the Irish Republican government and
he thought that the matter should be
placed in the hands Of the Minister
for Foreign Affairs of the Irish Re-
publican government. Other Irish
councils are acting similarly.
