Sate volume of commercial and indus trial activities. Expenditures for re habilitation and re-construction will have preference over these for the de velopment of new enterprises. Higher rates of interest; a greater degree of discrimination on the part of the investing public and a wider disparity in the rates of interest among the various categories of investments. Interest on high-grade bonds prob ably will decline. Certain classes of domestic enter prises, including the building of elec tric railways between cities and prob ably the building of steam railroads, will experience a material decline. In conclusion Senator Burton said: "In the wider field in which the peo ple of the United States must conduct their operations, the Investment banker must always have abiding conscious ness of the new duties imposed upon the citizens of Greater America as the leaders in the world's civilization." VON PAPEN WILL GO VETERANS START EAST DELEGATES GO TO GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT . WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. The Amer ican Government will make no effort to secure safe conduct from the United States of Constantin Dumba, Austro Hungarian Ambassador here, until the Vienna government has replied to the request that the Ambassador be re called. This was declared tonight on high official authority. Ir. Dumba himself telegraphed As sistant Secretary Phillips, of the State Department, from Lenox, Mass., today, giving notice that hie government had recalled him home on leave, and asking that the American Government arrange for his safe conduct to Vienna. He added that he planned to sail Septem ber 28. The message was addressed to Mr. Phillips without official title, the Am bassador epparently treating his offi cial status as ended. Vleana'H Reply Is Awaited. Whether the American Government will be satisfied if Vienna carries out iJr. Dumba's request and gives notice that he is to be withdrawn "on leave" was 'not disclosed tonight and will not be determined finally until it is seen what form the Austro-Hungarian re ply takes. inasmuch as dispatches from Vienna have indicated that the government there already has cosen a temporary successor to Dr. Dumba, it is taken for granted that no attempt will be made to send the latter back here, whatever may be the manner of his going. The delay in receiving a reply to the Dumba note is believed by officials to be due to difficulty in communication between Washington and Vienna. Sev eral messages received recently from Ambassador Penfield have been nearly 8, week reaching Washington. Mutus of Others In Doubt. The President tonight still was con sidering what action, if any, to take in regard to Captain, Franz von Papen.j -German military attache here; Alex ander Nuber von Pereked. Austro-Hungarian Consul - General in New York, and other Austro-Hungarian and Ger man officials involved in the Dumba incident. I'hotographic copies of more of the letters taken from James I' J. Archi bald in London will be awaited before final action will be taken. A letter written in German by Cap tain von Papen, in which occurred a Thiase which has been translated "those idiotic Yankees," was referred to translators at the State Department today to determine the exact meaning of the German words. Most of the so-called Archibald let ters already received here were sent to the Department of Justice by the State Department. They will be ex amined by Assistant Attorney General Warren to determine whether action can be taken against Archibald. FIUliXDSHIP NOT IX IANGIIt Vienna Says Dumba's Recall Will Xot Change Good Relations. VIENNA. Sept. 18, by courier to Ber lin and thence to London, Sept 22. The recall of Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba. Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to the United States, cannot have any possible effect on the existing good re lations between Austria and the United Ptates, according to assurance given the Associated Tress by a high official rpeaking for the government. Thus far no report of any nature has been received from Dumba and it is as sumed here that because of the diffi culties of communication he will wait until he can make a report in person. Despite this, however, the official re ferred to explained the government's attitude as follows: ' "The Dumba incident cannot have ny influence whatever on the good relations of the two nations. The wish expressed in the American note that the friendly and cordial relations may remain unchanged is shared to the full est degree by the Austrian government. "The American Government, undoubt edly, considered itself in good faith bound to request the Ambassador's re call. Cases of recall of Ambassadors often have occurred in peace times without any especial importance being ascribed to them and the Dumba case should also be considered from the same standpoint. The correspondent mentioned the' fact that other officials in Austrian gov ernmental circles had intimated to him their feeling that Dr. Dumba, insofar as ho warned his countrymen against assisting in making the munitions, did only his duty. "That is certainly true." was the answer. "Subjects of the dual mon nrchy who do such work make them selves guilty of high treason and would be severely punished in case of their return. It was therefore the Ambas eador's duty to warn them." "What says Your Excellency ccneern lng the employment of Aronlbald as a. messenger?" asked the correspon dent, and received this reply: "Tf, as reported in the press, Archi bald was an old friend of Dr. Dumba, it was understandable that the Am bassador, in view of the ereat diffi culties In communication, employed him without giving the matter a second thought." The correspondent asked how the American, answer to the Austrian pro test concerning the export of munitions had been received. The rply was: "Naturally there are wide differences between our and the American standpoint. The matter is still under consideration and it is possible that the American note will be re plied to."

LEAVE TO BE PERPETUAL Von Bernstorfr Will Not Walt for Official Notification From Wa sliington Implication of Others Is Denied. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. (Special.) I The Tribune says today: Captain Franz von Papen, the Ger man military attache, will not Join the German Embassy staff when Jt moves to the capital of the "idiotic lankees." Instead, he will go away on a per petual "leave of absence" and return to Germany. This step has been, de cided on by Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, who returned to day from a five-day seclusion in the Adirondack s. Informally, Ambassador von Bern storff expressed his surprise at the cabled report of Von Papen's indiscre tion in criticising the people of a na tion whose friendship Count von Bern storff has been particularly desirous of maintaining. For this reason the Am bassador will not wait until Captain von Papen's "offense" has been brought to his attention officially. Dr. Frederick Elder, the Ambassa dor's private secretary, emphatically denied the report today that his chief or any attaches of the German Em bassy, aside from Captain von Papen, were in any way involved by the let ters taken from James F. J. Archibald by the BTitish authorities. "The Ambassador wishes me to deny once for all that there is any truth whatever in these reports." he stated. In answer to a question. Count von Bernstorff said tonight that he did not expect the arrival of the German note until some time next week. "f am Just as optimistic today as I always was that the difficulties be tween the two nations will be amicably settled," he said. a simple service with only a few of their intimate friends, most of whom were Army post attaches, present. The bride wore a dainty blue silk gown and was attended by her sister. Miss Ellen Powell. Corporal Beman has had a wide f ieid of service in Canada, the Philippines and in the United States. Before his advent into the Army life he was a. civil engineer for the Northern Pa cific Railroad. After the service a wedding supper was served at the home of the bride's father. The bridal party left for Seattle. Spokane and other "points. They will be at home after November 1. JAY STEVENS IS ARRESTED Fire Marshal Is Charged With Ille gally Working Overtime. Over-devotion to duty" caused Fire Marshal Jay Stevens to be served with a warrant Wednesday night charging him with working overtime, against the orders of his superior officers. The paper was issued and served at the, personal instigation of Mayor Albee. "We don't want him to get sick and on the pension roll," the Mayor said last night. "It's time something was done to stop him from killing himself. I understand that he worked 23 hours one day. Mr. Stevens was greatly worried by his supposed arrest, but could obtain no definite information as to the charge against him. The police told him that the complaint had been locked up, and that they knew nothing of the matter. What form the Joke will take when Mr. Stevens appears In tne Municipal Court today is a mystery which none of the officials would divulge.

Harbolt, ac cused of running a disorderly house at the Alma Hotel. Twelfth and Stark streets, Municipal Judge Stevenson Wednesday continued sentence owing to extenuating circumstances. Harbolt said that he had acquired proprietorship of the hotel two weeks ago, and that the two girls who were found in a raid Monday night already had been ordered out within the fol lowing two days, and had now left. He said that he intended to operate a hotel for men alone. The arrest he at tributed to the desire for revenge on the part of a former business associate. On. the night of the raid Harbolt was at police headquarters endeavoring to secure the arrest of a. man at his hotel who, he had reason to believe, was a burglar and had stolen several valuable sets of furs he was trying to dispose of. He said that the police refused to make the arrest then but desired Har bolt to wait until morning and swear to a complaint. 1500 PAIRS OF SOCKS GIVEN Duiuth People Prepare Christmas Shower for Canadian Troops.
