had stated. After the conference
Judge Anderson declined to give out
any statement.
Smiths story that he had paid

Smiths wife, when Judge Anderson
sent home yesterday to get the re-
celpts for the money he said had been
given him by Seidensticker. he was
accompanied by George Winkler, Fed
eral prohibition agent.
According to Winkler. Mrs. Smith
corroborated her husbands story, in
every respect. She was unable to

Mr.. Smythe's arrival and his desire

Bishop Leete. that young man has
been following up board meetings and
general conferences for the last ten
years trying to get a chance to ap-

not been successful.
mfr. Smythe ought to know by this
time the board of bishops has nothing

and for this reason, if for no other,
he can not expect to address them. d"

BERLIN, June 24.-Foreign Min
lister Rathenau was assassinated to-
day. He was shot dead in the Grune-
wald while on his way to his office

motor car.
Ratheau was one Of the most pow
erful men in the German government.
II was he who conducted the ne
gotiations with the Russians at Ge-
noa, which led to tho German Russian
treaty reopening trade and relations
between those two countries.
Upon his return to Berlin, after the
Genoa conference. he was severely
criticised by some elements for his
negotiations with the soviet repre-
sentanYes.
Rathenau was always considered

thority on indemnity problems.
Rathenau was head Of the German
electrical trust. He and Hugo Stiu-
nes were considered Germany's veal
