ERMYER !
SERVED GERMANY
Attorney General Charges New
York Attorney With Aiding
His Former Clients. i
BOY'-ED'S REPORT CITED
Palmer Says Unterryer Desires to
Undo the Significant Work Of
Capturing Enemy Property
in America.

Washington-Attorney General Pal
mer charged Samuel Untermyer, New
York attorney, with acting "in the Ger
man interest" and with simply serv-
ing his old clients in his recent critic
isms of Mr.. Palmer's conduct of the
Offices of alien property custodian and
Attorney General.
The Attorney General presented his
charges in a formal statement with
quotations from a report taken from
Captain Boy-Ed, former naval attache
of the German embassy here, on his
capture by the British in Palestine
and from the diary of Heinrich F. Al
bert, former chief privy councillor OF
the German embassy. The report of
Captain Boyd as made public by Mr..
Palmer referred to Mr.. Untermyer as
"the unpaid judicial and legal political
adviser of the German embassy" while
DR.. Albert in his diary is quoted as de-
scribing meeting brought about for
business reasons" at Mr. Untermyer's
estate at Greystone on the Hudson
river.
Ulterior Motive Charged.
"The malicious reiteration by Sam
uel Untermyer of the baseless rumors
and false charges which the friends
of Germany insistently circulated
about the work OF the alien property
custodian" Mr.. Palmer said, would
not call for any reply, if his recent &C.
tivities had not somewhat obscured
in the public mind his earlier connec-
lions which make his motives plain.
He desires to unto a significant part
Of the wars achievement. He was
vigorously opposed to the govern
ment's policy in regard to enemy
owned concerns in this country as
properties of these unfortunate peo-
pie whose sad plight he always sought
to alleviate"

With the filing of the report of the
committee, (printed i'll another column J!

cornell Tuesday evening, the city is'
made fully aware Of problem that VIII
need the earnest consideration OF the
c:-y's officials and all other citizens.
T7e Water Power Company, whose
franchise expired year ago, does not
went another franchise, nor does 1t want
t., lease tho plant to the city for a
time. bnt desires to sell to the city:
1shc amount asked, $4,000, is over
$4,000 greater than the valuation put
or the plant in 1913 by the citv's en-
ginee1, MI. Bass. The company explains
this difference by stating that the val
uation il, made on replacement at the
present price of labor and material, plus
$2N, 600 which is termed an intangible
value covering original financing, de-
fcrred earnings, etc. and allowing for
Is rcr cent depreciation. IF the com
pnny's proposition is taken up before
A1.ril 1st, & price of $4,000 is made.
T., Prof j!;tss' report. he also allowed
FIR expenditures above the physical val
nation of the plant at that time. and IT
4'u writer remembers correctly, Mr..
Bass stated that the valuation at that
time was 40 per cent above valuation
IL what ncop}c referred to as "normai'
times. So, it can be seen, if the figures
Of the different enninccrs are correct,
that the cost of building plant Of this
nature at present prices, has grown
enormously over tho time when the
svstcm wae first installed. To saw the
least, this is quite an unfortunate time

proposition to build new system will
receive greater impetus. The Herald
believes that with conditions anywhere
near favorable. the city should own not
only the water distribution plant, hut
the electricity distribution plant also.
And if there is any desire of the com
pany to give real consideration to the
matter, we would be nleased to see nego-

AuSTR|ANS in REVOLT
Mobs in Vienna Demand Rulers

Stores Of City Close as Owners Flee
From maddened Street
Paraders.

Vienna.-Mobs. such as formed dur
ing the revolution in the streets OF
Paris; gathered here, sending hundreds
of frightened proAteers to the coun-
try; shouting threats, singing martial
airs and 1umbling menacingly the
mobs followed wagons on which had
been erectel great replicas OF gal
lows.
Police officers, augmented by re-
cruits from the former Austrian army,
made no attempt to interfere with the
marchers. The latter attempted no
violence. e;
Meanwhile labor organizations have
served an ultimatun'-on the'govern'
ment, giving it three days, in which to
reduce the price of necessities.
From the temper of the crowds
which marched through the famous
but dilapidated streets, the labor
threat may be followed by action. II
was believed possible assaults would
be made on stores and provision
houses where goods would be confis
Gated.
The flight of profteers left many
stores closed: Windows and doors
were barricaded, lending still further
an air of desolation to what formerly
was one of the gayest cities of the
world. Authorities believed they
would be able to suppress any out
break, the police remaining loyal.
Vienna became more than ever a
city of contrasts. While thousands OF
persons paraded the streets with their
gruesome talisman, hundreds were
winning and dining in something like
the old splendor Those with money
spent it recklessly and smart dining
places were filled with men careless
of their kronen, accompanied by hand.
