 After a few days I was taken back to the prison, and there re- ceived two letters from the consul inquiring about my health and whether he could be of any assist ance. Both letters had been open ed when received them. i. One day I was taken downstairs to a room and found that Raymond Qeist, American consul in Berlin, had come to Greifswald to assist me. We were not alone; a man connected with the court sat in tho room as we talked. The latter did not understand English very well, so switched to German as l told the American official how had been treated.

!, As I stood in the police station I, at Greifswald, Germany, arrest seemed a welcome alternative to falling into the hands of the Nazis { who had followed me about 7 the town and now were waiting for me outside.
 ' A few days in a cell might be un- pleasant. but at least it would be safe, l thought. How mistaken l wasi
 The arrest was on the 27th of : last June. l was taken to the po- lice iaii and put into solitary con- finement for four days. Then I was transferred to the prison ad- joining the court in Greifswald, and again placed in solitary con flnement.
 Both political and political prisoners occupied this place. Most of them were taken out each morn ing and allowed to walk around In a circle in the courtyard for half an hour. Talking was strictly pro- hihited. The windows of the cells were high up in the walls so that one could not look cut.
 C0nsuPs Letter Opened
 
 After few days I succeeded in sending letter to the American consulate in Berlin. asked that word be sent to my family that I had been arrested on d political charge. Prison authorities required all letters from prisoners to be un- sealed so they could read them. When my answer came from the consul, 1t also had been opened be- fore I received 1t.
 One day the door of my cell opened and man came In. He said: q am the prison physician. You will come down to my office In a day or two" The next day the guard told me to get ready to see the physician, and then took me downstairs.
 Two men were there. One I recognized as having been in the police station at the time of my arrest. He had a whip with him. The other, a beefy fellow, wore . deaths head insignia In the lapel of his coat. The man with the whip said:

 Later in the day I was taken be. fore Kriminalhommissar voss for further questioning. The same two men were sitting in the room with him, and he threatened to have them punish me again. This time, however, they tried different meth ods. The man with the whip of- fered me a sandwich. I said: No, thanks, am not hungry" And I didn't eat for three days after that.
 During some further talk, the Kommissar became angered by one of my answers and said: q think you have been treated too well up to now"

RAIL CHIEFS
DROP PLAN TO
SLASH WAGES
Agreement With Unions Is
Signed; No Pay Change
Before 1884.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. June %. - The
railroads were linked in the national
recovery drive today under a formal
agreement abandoning their effort
to clip millions of dollars from the
pay checks of railroad workers.
The new compact between the
railroads and the labor brother
hoods continues present wages until
June, 1884.
The agreement was signed Wednes-
day night after Joseph Eastman,
federal transportation co-ordinator,
had interviewed in the wage dispute
and pointed out that any wage re-
ductiOn would be wholly out of line
with the governments effort to in
crease purchasing power throughout
the country as a basis for revived
prosperity.
Cancel Slash Plan
AS forecast by the United Press,
the railroads Cancelled their notice
of intention to seek a permanent
22i2 per cent reduction in wages.
The brotherhoods on their part sur
rendered their opportunity to seek
restoration of the existing 10 per
cent deduction.
The time for filing notice by
either party of intention to seek a
change is advanced to Feb. Is, 1884.
Announcing the agreement, East
man said both parties have been
reasonable and amicable and they
merit the commentator of the
country"
Help the Administration
This agreement" he said, "has
been reached because both the rail-
roads and the employees wish to do
nothing which would in any way
embarrass or threaten the present
policy of the administration. They
realize that the government now has
embarked upon a wholly new policy
designed to promote business and
industrial activity and to further
the general welfare.
They appreciate that until the
results of this policy can be deter
mined more clearly, it will be diff
cult to deal wisely with this wage
controversy, and that active prose-
cution of such controversy at the
present time might have most dis
turbing and unsettling effect"

BERLIN, June o. Chancellor
Adolf Hitler faced his first formid-
able opposition in his "harmoniza-
ton" of the Fatherland today.
Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, leader of
the powerful Nationalist party and
influential industrialist, almost was
certain to resign as minister of COM
merce and agriculture in Hitler's
cabinet and to protest dissolution of
the Nationalist fighting squads" to
President Paul Won Hindenburg,
circles close to the government be-
heved
President Hindenburg, although
he has co-operated fully in the
Notification of Germany, has the
power to dissolve any cabinet at
any time and enforce his commands
with the might of the army. Such
a possibility was believed unlikely,
however.
Hindenburg, at present, is away
from Berlin and will not return for
several days.
Hugenberg's resignation would
force Hitler to recall the Reichstag
to extend the terms of the author
ization by which cabinet DEGREES
have replaced legislative functions
in ruling Germany. Hitler's author
ization is for cabinet of the
present composition"

GRID CAME
SET TODAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The
New York Giants and Brooklyn
Dodgers meet at Ebbets Field
this afternoon in a gridiron bat
tie that may decide the Eastern
division championship in the
National Professional Football
League. The Giants scored over
the Kelly eagle machine in an
early season game by 81 to Z.
Since then, however, the Dodg-
ers have picked up exceptional
offensive strength and followers
of professional football look for
one of the hardest battles of the
season.
Every player on the Dodger
squad except eagle is in excellent
physical condition. The famous
red-head's hand was injured in
the Boston game, but he is ex-
pected to see service against the
Giants for at least part of the
game.
Followers of the Maramen are
just as confident that the Giants
have the Indian sign on the
Brooklynites. Their willingness
to back their club has made the
Giants a slight favorite.

Oddly enough, none of the
games today affect the national
grid situation one way or the
other. Few affect sectional stu.
ations, so far as top positions are
concerned.
Has Real Color
Probably no game in the coun-
try today is more attractive than
the traditional and colorful V. M.
Nv. P. I. battle at Roanoke, Va.
This game not only pits one grid
team against another, but places
one cadet corps against another
in a series of drills on a par with
those executed by Cadets and Mid
dies at the annual Army-Navy
game. So attractive is the V. M. l..
V. P. I. game that it has become
known as the Army-NavS game of
the South.
The spectator today at the
Roanoke classic will see Virginia
hospitality at its best The city is
in gala attire and. probably no
more enjoyable time will be had
any place in the nation.
The Penn-Cornell game, despite
the fact that each team has lost
several games, stacks up as inter
esting and intriguing.

might be termed the second last
course of the grid season, the final
