HUN RECRUITS ARRESTED Men Going to Join .Forces Fighting Bolshevism Are Halted; Ei- ivaiser Is Blamed. BERLIN, Oct. 24. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The Vossische Zeitung learns from reliable sources that a trade agreement probably will be reached soon between Germany and Russia. Herr Mueller, the foreign minister, announced in the Weimar assembly today that several men having in their possession blank' passes to Rus sia have been arrested. They were going to join the Russo-German forces, which ostensibly are fighting bolshevism. "William II was conspicuous as an amateur which is the real reason why Germany's foreign policies were never clearly defined," Conrad Hassa mann. vice-president of the national assembly, informed the deputies today. He declared that the former em peror was responsible for the failure to renew the Russian reciprocal treaty and charged him with completely dominating Caprivi (who succeeded Bismarck) three days after the second chancellor took office. Herr Haussmann charged that the creation of the kingdom of Poland was due to the initiative of Luden dorff. who hoped to enlist 400,000 Poles against Rus -ia. HARRY NEW FACES TRIAL JIHY TO INVESTIGATE KILL ING OF FREIDA LESSER. Dramatic Circumstances of Crime, AVhich Accused Is Alleged to Have Confessed, Retold. LOS ANGELES.' Cal., Oct. 26. Inter woven in the circumstances surround ing the slaying of Freida Lesser, for which Harry S. New, son of United States Senator New of Indiana, will face trial in the superior court here tomorrow, were many dramatic sit uations. Shortly after 3 o'clock on the morn-, ing of July 5, 1919, a black sedan au tomobile drove up in front of the Cen tral police station here. A man, who later gave his name as Harry S. New Jr., alighted and walked into the de tective, bureau. "I have just killed my fiancee. She is in an automobile in front of the station," he was said to have told the detective on duty. Detectives walked to the car out side and found the body of Freida Lesser, 21 years old, propped up in the back seat. Ieath had been caused by a bullet which had entered her left temple and emerged at the right side of her head. New was immediately placed under arrest and freejy told the circum stances which he said led up to the young woman's death, later signing an alleged confession that he killed her. He told the officers, they said, that he and Miss Lesser were to have been married within a fortnight. He said that late in the afternoon of July 4, according to the officers, he had called at the home of Miss Lesser and asked her to take an automobile ride in the car of his mother, Mrs. Lulu Berger, who at the time was visiting in the east. She consented. New is alleged to have stated, and the couple made a tour of the beach cities, winding up in the early evening in Topango can yon, not far from Los Angeles. "We Quarreled," New is alleged to have told the officer at the time of his arrest. "She told me that she was about to become a mother and that we couldn't be married. My mind went blank. I grabbed a revolver which mother and 1 kept in the car, and shot. Then I realized what I had done, but Freida was dead." "I drove toward town and finally drove up and down the principal streets. My mind was in a daze. Finally I decided to bring her body here and give myself up." ANTI-STRIKE LAY DECRIED (Continued From First Page.) against high prices, said Mr. Shea, adding that if the cost of living i? not reduced, then they expect suffi cient advance In wages to enable them to maintain their standard of living. He declared that firemen were running in dbt from $5 to $50 a month because their wage increases have not kept pace with mounting prices. Eicht-Hoor Day Vision. Time and a half for overtime work was declared to be necessary to give the men an fight-hour day, which he declared they have never enjoyed desidte the passage of the Adamson law. Without punitive overtime, he said, the railroads would continue to work the men as long as ever be fore. "Locomotive firemen cannot physi cally endure the hours they have been required to woik," he continued, "and which they have temporarily ac quiesced 4n because of the war emer gency. They have decided that after nearly four years of patient waiting on their part, this issue cannot be longer postponed." The way to stop strikes. Mr. Shea declared, is to give the working men their fundamental rights and proper rr.achiiiery for adjusting current local grievances. WORLD RELIES ON U. S. f Continued From First Page.) Plan for the re-organization of the rtate government providing for the consolidation of all administtative de partments., commissions, officers, boards and other agencies into a small number of departments. It recommends that the governor "be held responsible for good ad ministration," and that he have the power to choose the heads of depart ments to serve as his "cabinet" and a "budget system, vesting in the governor the full responsibility for presenting to the legislature each year a consolidated budget contain ing all expenditures which in his opinion should be undertaken by the state and a proposed plan for ob taining the necessary revenues." I mention briefly this important work of the New T.-rk reconstruc tion commission because there is such universal criticism of sroern- ment 'today by all classes of citizens, and in the attacks which one hears there is not one reference made to the efforts and endeavors of men who are quietly and carefully at work to bring about changes to meet the requirements of the present and future. Condition Similar la Industry. So it is in Industry. I have been in the office of many business men who are as intent upon doing every thing within their power to solve the differences between employers and employes as they are upon building up their own concerns. As a result of articles which I have written for the Public Ledger on industrial con ditions in the United States, I have received hundreds of letters from business men explaining what they were doing within their own plants. AH of this indicates that as indi viduals we are making progress, al though there are today no national evidences of it. The labor conference in Washington collapsed. A coal strike appears imminent. The steel strike is not settled. Everyone com plains of the high cost of living and nothing is done to increase produc tion or lower prices. Because of these evidences of dis turbed conditions, nothing is said about work which is being accom plished in all parts of the country, from Seattle to New York, by such bodies as. the New Tork reconstruc tion commission, by chambers of commerce such as the one in Seattle and by Individual employers, such as Proctor & Gamble of Cincinnati, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, the Gates Rubber company of Den ver, by the United States Rubber company and other corporations. Political Pot Bolllns, Too. From a political standpoint, too, the pot is boiling, leaders of both political parties and with those who favor an independent labor party, I am con vinced that all of these problems and their solutions really hinge upon the next presidential campaign. This country is not only the storm center of the world todxy. but it may con tinue to be until after the presiden tial election. ' We may be witnessing today only the beginning of the storm, and from present indications the developments during the next 12 months will be so great and so far-reaching in this country and Europe, that the world may emerge as greatly transformed I y reconstruction as by war. The real status of the situation abroad id indicated by the statement of Colonel House that Europe is t.aiting upon America. The storm has already passed over Europe and left everything in a wrecked state, but the fragments are being held to gether by a faith in America's, abil ity to withstand the storm. JJestrtjf tionlnt Also at Work. If this couatry does, the reconstruc tion of Europe will follow along American lines, but if the storm wrecks this country as it did Europe, the destructionits and not the con structionists will dominate the future. And the most hopeful, sign of the times, to judge by the opinions of the great leaders I have met recently, is the tendency of business men and others who will be the leaders in this country to begin at the bottom to re construct. The destruction;sts, too, are at work. They are making the most noise and the most progress, but the constructionists have just be gun. The destructionists have been at work a long time. Cortcious of the fact that "every thing depends apon America." a great deal of constrictive work may be ex pected within the next few months, for the lsadership of the men who are silent today will te a big factor tomorrow. , WILSON HAS GOOD DAY LIGHT VERSE AXD FICTION READ TO PATIENT. Officials Hopeful That the Coming Week Will Bring Less Inter ruption to Rest Cure. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. President Wilson obtained considerable rest to day after several days during which the difficulties of the national indus trial oenference and the threatened coal strike had forced Rear-Admiral Grayson, his physician, to rescind in part the order against his active par ticipation In governmental affairs. Secretary Tumulty spent Sunday out of the city and so far as could be learned, no public matters were laid before Mr. Wilson by Dr. Grayson. Mrs. Wilson spent practically the en tire day with her husband, reading to him light verse and fiction. While impending . events held out little prospect, white house officials tonight were hopeful that this week, the fifth of the president's illness, would bring less interruption to the rest cure prescribel by Dr. Grayson. In his mid-day bulletin today. Dr. Grayson said: "The president continues to im prove slowly." Dr. Grayson authorized tonight the following statement as to Mr. Wilson's condition: "The president had a very good day." The prohibition enforcement and Attorney-General Palmer's opinion as to the measure's constitutionality, it was said tonight at the White House, nad not been placed before the nresi dent. The statejnent immediately led to renewed speculation as to whether Mr. Wilson would act on It or permit it to become a law Tuesday midnight wnnoui nis signature. Poor Apples Find Market. ALBANY, Or., Oct. 26. (Special.) The cannery recently established in Albany is now handling immense quantities of apples, and this section of the state has an unlimited market for apples for the first time. Here tofore apples which could not sold through the usual commercial chan nels or manufactured into cider have gone to waste. But this year the can nery is taking all good fruit brought in. The apple crop in this vicinity is a large one this year. Methodist Laymen at Work. SALEM, Or., Oct. 26. (Special.) R. B. Cox, of Oregon City, represent ing the Methodist laymen of the Wil lamette valley, was in Salem yester day formulating plans for the ' ex tension of the work of the newly or ganized Methodist Laymen's associa tion. The laymen of the church are making plans for complete represen tation in the next general conference of the church and hope for equal rep resentation with ministers in all church matters. Census Examinations Set. SALEM, Or., Oct. 26. (Special.). Marion county applicants for census enumerators will take the required examinations in Salem on Saturday, November 1, according to announce ment made by Henry E. Crawford, supervisor of the first census district.
