Mcclellan for Delay.
District Attorney James E. Nc
Geehan, of the Bronx, who has stated
that no further action will be taken
for over week, is one of the most
insistent in delaying action. He has
requested that Commissioner of Ac-
counts Higgins, who was conducting
an investigation, to stop his probe for
the time being. Higgins has readily
consented, adding that the present in

 The Prussian Minister said that on leaving the Zeppelin, which the passengers were per mitted only to do after hours of waiting, they had, to their sur prise, go through several un- pleasant experiences. They were surrounded by a cordon of police and led into a customs building as though they had intended to smuggle. The passengers were several times yanked and ire qunetly pushed. in fact one of them was struck in the face by fist. Among those thus treated was the German Consul General Lewinski."
