' AW Donglaia W. Taylor, Portland Es Ttaeer, .Who Died Yesterday of Iafloeaaa. the f l WASHTNGTON'. Dec 13. Chairman Overman, of the Senate committee in vestigatlon on German propaganda, to day made public a letter from Edward Lyle Fox asserting that authors of a scheme outlined to German agents In this country to stir up anti-Japanese reeling on the Pacific Coast had . no intention of the plan being carried out. The purpose. Fox said, "was rather to enable a third person to swindle Cap tain von Papen (former German mill tary attache here) out of a aum of money and then laugh at him." rox is one of the newspaper cor respondents alleged to have been sent to Germany by Teutonio agents in America to send back pro-German news to this country. Last week A. Bruce Bielaskl, of the Department of Justice. produced before the investigating com mittee a communication written by Fox and suggesting that anti-Japanese feeling be stirred up. Hiram More Greene, editor of the Illustrated Sun day Magazine, was named in the com munication and In his letter to Chair man Overman, Fox said a great In justice had been done Greene by in volving him in the matter. . "I herewith state,"- said Fox letter, "that the name of Hiram More Greene was not put in that document with the consent of or knowledge of Mr. Greene. further wish to state that at no time id Mr. Greene discuss Japanese prop ganda with me, or, so far as I know, with anyone else: and that a great in Justice was done him by involving him In this manner. He is, so far as I now. completely innocent and the un- nowtng victim of an absurd scheme which was not original with me, but in the preparation of which I assisted to the extent of copying and revising what nother gave me. well knowing its absurdity and Its purpose, which was. not to launch an Intrigue against the Japanese, but which was rather to en able a third person to swindle Captain von Papen out of a sum of money and tnen laugh at him, doing not one thing In the scheme proposed. A letter from E. C. Richardson, of Princeton University, whose name w contained in the "important list" of names taken f rom papers of Dr. F. R. Feuhr, German propagandist, also was inserted In the record today. Mr. Rich ardson said he had not been pro-German, but that he believed he could prove himself to have been "pro-patria." Messages from Senator-elect Capper, of Kansas, and from Judge George W. Anderson, of Philadelphia, vouching for the loyalty of ' Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, whose name also waa In the "important list," were placed In the record, while Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, spoke in the Senate today to record that no one in Massachusetts believes Professor Hart ever was pro-German.

Voluminous documents shedding light on the Ger man system for blowing up munition factories and practicing sabotage and espionage have been assembled by the Department of Justice in preparation for disclosure, it was said today, but officials have not determined what por tion of these it would be wise to give out, or when It might be done wtthou Interfering with activities of Govern tnent agents still in progress. The disclosures of A. Bruce Bielaskl, chief of the bureau of investigation, before the Senate committee ihvestigat ing propaganda constitute only a small part of the evidence ot uerman prac tices gathered by the department agents. Mr. Bielaskt has confined him self to propaganda, it was pointed ou and this virtually was a separat branch of German work In this coun try. Ordinarily propaganda was car rled on by a distinctly different group iof German agents and the chief Oer man agents took great pains to keep I knowledge of sabotage plans from these propagandists. The files of the Bureau of Investlga tion are said to contain hundreds of names of German agents and Americans with whom they had dealings In gath ering Information about the xoation war preparations and concerning Ger many s enemies before this country en tered the war. These names have not been disclosed. When Mr. Bielaskl appears before' the Senate committee again tomorrow for examination It Is possible that some Senators may question him abou phases of the bureau's work other than tne light against enemy propaganda.
