There Is no question but that many

this may be either ignorance or In

GERMAN CONDITIONS.

An interesting summary Of conditions in Germany is
asurplled by member Of the Guaranty Trust company
sof New York. who has Just returned from q European
3trtpS8in the interest of Foreign trade development. He
says that all the way from the Dutch border to the Ger
mans canital was an unending panorama Of waving grain.
The German crops are unusually far advanced. Both
the rye and the wheat crops are very promising and the
outlook Tor the sugar beet crop is also very good. The oil
seeds have blossomed fully and show good prospects.
While = Large number Of locomotives are in bad order.
there = considerable railroad reconstruction under way
and also new canal construction. And wherever there
was g chimney stack it was belching smoke. As compared
With Holland there is a marked absence OF cattle and
horses and the labor in the fields is being performed al
rrosr entirely by women.
In Berlin all the hotels are crowded. The price OF
accommodation In Berlin is about the same as at hotels

Questioned concerning the commits

he believed the unification idea, based

Six Columbia Scarlet
Fever Cases Isolated
Doctor Denies Report of Epi-
demic Among Girls in
Barnard College

DR.. William II. McCastline, physi-
clan at Columbia University, yester-
day denied that there was anything
resembling q scarlet fever epidemic
among the students of Barnard Col
lege. According to Dt. McCastline
there are but SIX cases of the fever
in the entire university. Five Of these
were in John Jay Hall and one in a
student house in 116th Street All Of
the patients have been removed to
Brooks, the college infirmary.
eve are treating the situation ~ if
it we're actually an epidemic" the Co
lumbia University physician said.
But that is simply a precautionary
measure. To call it an epidemic would
be preposterous. For this season of
the year six scarlet fever cases in the
entire university enrolment is a small
number"
The college assembly, scheduled for
to-day, has been postponed. Barnard
cafeteria, where it was rumored sew
eral of the girls had contracted scar
let fever, has been closed temporarily.
DR.. McCastline, with members of the
Board OF Health, inspected the cafe
terra yesterday. 1t was declared sani-
tAry.

Kirby, prominent state temperance
worker, accused Of nanslaughter in
connection with the disappearance of
the nameless child of her unmarrie d
daughter, was convicted in jcircuit
court here to-day. The jury reached
it's verdict Saturday, but upon in
struction Of Judge Burton T.. Hart the
finding was withheld until court opened
this morning.
Counsel for Mrs. Kirby Immediately
moved for new trial. Judge Hart
announced he would hear the motion
Tuesday, December 27, and the $4,000
bond under which Mrs Kirby has been
held since her preliminary examina-
ton was renewed until that time.
Mrs. Kirby, who received the verdict
without visible trace of emotion,
showed some perturbation as she left
the court, protesting her innocence

"Oh, if the truth could only be known u
The jury, it became known with its
dismissal, took ten ballots.
Under the Michigan law the maxi
mum sentence for manslaughter is fif-
teen years imprisonment.

Poles Charge Lindenfeld
Betrayed Them in 1906
Fled To america after Expose
Of Their Activities in the
Russiny, .Scru;ce. They Assert

WARSAW, Dec. IS. (By The Asso-
ciated Press Wolfe Lindenfeld, alias
Willism Linde, arrested here at the
Instance Of the American Secret Serv-
ice for alleged connection with the
Wall Street bomb explosion Of Sep
tember, 1920, has made three written
statements to the police, one of which,
in English, covers his activities for the
last sixteen years.
Sylvester Cosgrove, the operative who
brought about Lindenfeld's 'ssarrest, yes
teday cabled the American Department
of Justice the name Of blacksmith
who, according to Lindenfeld, manu-
factured the bomb and engineered the
clares that Lindenfeld's confession cor
"roborates his previous statements that
the plot was financed in Moscow and
that the motive was to kill ]. p. Nor
gan, striking terror into America and
showing the world that Wall Street
was not beyond defiance. CAT the time
of the explosion Mr.. Morgan was in
England.)
The Polish authorities are particu-
Iarly interested in Lindenfeld's Rus
sian connections in 1905. They claim
that he was then active IN the Polish
Social Democratic party opposing Rus
sian rule, but that he turned traitor
to the Poles, joining the Russian secret
service and working against the Polish
revolutionares. These activities on his
part became so widespread that event.
ualy they were exposed and he fled to
America.
Lindenfeld's statement regarding his
movements since March of this year,
now in the hands Of the Polish politi-
cal police, is said to show that he has
been working against the Poles again,
this time in cooperation with the Rus
sian Communists.
On behalf of Lindenfeld his friends
say he lived humbly with his father
while in this city, and they discount
the Polish accusation that he was in
volved in espionage plots. They assert
that he never displayed much money in
their presence and that when not with
his father here he usually was with
relatives at LODI.
According to Paul Bernado Alien
dorf, who is said to have trailed Lin
denfeld to Warsaw, Lindenfeld made a
statement to the effect that when he
was in Moscow last August he talked
with Nikolai Lenine, Soviet Premier,
and Leon Trotzky, Soviet War Minister,
with reference to the explosion. j. P
Morgan's name was mentioned in this
conversation, according to the alleged
statement.
Altendorf says the statement adds
that Lindenfeld attended a secret ses-
sion of the Third Internationale when
the explosion was discussed, and that
he heard talk of plans for further
bombings in America Altendorf says
Lindenfeld would go further into the
plots as conceived for execution in
America if he were permitted to reach

has agreed to tell the entire bomb de-
tails as he had heard them discussed in
Moscow, including additional plans to
kill Mr.. Morgan.

Scientist Trustees
Oppose Removal
Without am Audit
Heads of Church Publish
ing Society Ask lnjunc-
ton Pending Examina-
ton of Their Stewardship

BOSTON, Dec. 19.-The controversy
between the directors of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist (mother
church,, of this city, and the trustees
of the Christian Science Publishing
Society came before the Supreme Court
ass.c ,o-day. 1t was this court which
recently returned decision that the
directors had power 20 remove the
trustees.
AS counsel for the trustees, Sherman
l.. Whipple filed q petition for an in
junction to prevent the directors from
removing the trustees pending deter
mination of issues that still lie be-
tween them. Reference was made to
an exchange of notes between the
parties, including letters from the
board Of directors to Trustees Herbert
W. Eustacc and Paul Harvey, calling
upon them to appear at a hearing to-
should not be declared vacant.
In the letter to Eustace it was as
serted that there had been failure to
fill the place as trustee of Lamont
Rowlands, which was at issue orig
inally; that Eustace and his associates
had mismanaged the affairs Of the So
ciety to such an extent that the paid
circula alton of the Christian Science
Sentinel" "Christian Science Journal
and "Christian Science Monitor" had
declined between January 81, 1919, and
December /, 1921, respectively, 70, rs
and SO per cent. The net earnings of
the society it was said, had fallen from
nearly 100000 a year to "less than
nothing" 1t was charged further that
there had been wasteful and wrongful
use made of the society's funds and
that the trustees had refused to pay
over to the treasurer of the church
any profits since the period ending
March, 1919.
The plaintiff trustees in their peti-
tion assert that there exist no facts
which warrant their removal from of
hce; that the charges in the letters
are either frivolous and haseless or in
sufficient to warrant such action as is
threatened; that the defendant di-
rectors cannot constitute q fair tri
bunal to determine the question in
volved.
The trustees, however, it is said, do
not desire under existing circumstances
to continue to hold their Office. They
intend and desire only that they may
lay down their trust in an orderly
direction Of this court, and that q
decree be entered discharging them
from the trust and appointing their
successors after an examination CT
their stewardship and accounts"
The court ordered the petition set
for hearing before Justice Crosby
tomorrow morning.
