Chancellor Says He Would Hue
Opposed Publication, but As
sumes All Responsibility.
Emperor Is Sponsor.
BERLIN. Oil SI. The publication
of an Interview with Emperor Wil
liam in the London Telegraph, aimed
to improve Anglo-German relation
culminated in the offer of Prince von
Buelow to resign the office of Im
perial Chancellor, but the- Kaiser not
only declined the resignation but au
thorised the publication of a statement
explaining how the Interview came to
be published. Although he had not
read the interview when submitted to
him prior to its publication, the Chan
cellor assumes full responsibility. The
Chancellor is more firmly in his seat
than ever.
Prince von BueloWs explanation In
the Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeltung
is as follows:
English Interview With Kaiser.
"A great portion of the foreign and
International press publishes criticisms
directed against His Majesty relative
to the articles In the London Dally
Telegraph. .These criticisms are
founded on the assumption that the
Kmperor permitted the publication of
the article without the previous
knowledge of the Government authori
ties responsible for the Imperial policy.
This assumption la unfounded.
"Hi- Majesty received from a pri
vate Englishman with a request that
he e permitted to publish it, the
manuscript of an article In which a
series of conversations between the
Emperor and several English person
alities held at various dates were put
together. The reason given for the
request was in order to make known
His .Majesty's utterances to the largest
possible number of English readers,
thus serving to Improve Anglo-German
relations.
Would Have Opposed Publication.
"The Emperor forwarded this man
uscript to the Chancellor, who in turn
sent it to the Foreign Office with a
note requesting careful scrutiny. The
Foreign Office ilid not report anything
objectionable In the contents and pub
lication thereupon followed.
"When the Chancellor, as a result of
the publication In the lolly Telegraph,
became aware of the contents of this
manuscript, he explained to the Em
peror that he personally had not read
It and that, had he done so. he would
have hesitated and advised against its
publication. He holds himself alone
responsible and he desires to protect
the officials unir him.
Kaiser Declines Resignation."
"At the same time he offered to
resign, but the Emperor would not
accept his resignation. On the request
of the Chancellor, however. His Ma
jesty permitted the publication of this
explanation, so that Prince von Bue
low would be in a position to meet un
justifiable attacks on the person of
tiie Emperor."
SCHMITZ CASE UP AGAIN
HENEY DEFENDS HIMSELF
AGAINST JI DGE BEATTY.
Bay City Prosecutor Tells About
Oversight In Drawing Indictment
Against Former .Mayor.
SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. Jl. Assistant
District Attorney Francis J. Heney. who
has prosecuted the bribery graft esses
which have occupied the San Francisco
courts for the past two years, from the
police court to the highest tribunal In the
state, today gave out an open letter, con
taining words, in which he replies to
a statement from Chief Justice .Beatty.
published In the Sacramento Bee on April
IS. in which the Chief Justice defended
the decision of the Supreme Court in hold
ing that the indictment upon which
Mayor Kugene E. SVhmlts was convicted
was improperly drawn and. faulty, in that
it did not state that Bchmitz was Mayor
of the city, a fact which the Supreme
Court eouid not go outside of the indict
ment to take judicial notice of.
Mr. Heney begins his lengthy letter by
saying:
"It has wel! been said by a number of
prominent speakers and writers that the
law Is now on trial in San Francisco.' It
might well be added that the efficiency of
our present Judicial system and the ca
pacity of our people for Intelligent self
government Is likewise on trial.
"We have long since psssed the period,"
continues the Assistant District Attorney,
quoting Judge Freeman, "when it is pos
sible to punish an innocent man: we are
now struggling with the problem of
whether It Is any longer possible to pun
ish the guilty."
Mr. Heney refers f the action of the
Supreme Court as the "widely criticised
decision in" the Schmita case.'" and says
that Chief Justice Beatty practically
conceded in his letter that had It con
tained the allegation that Sohmitz was
Mayor and as such had power to Influ
ence the Police Commission in the grant
ing or withholding of liquor licenses,
the indictment would have been good.
The Assistant District Attorney consid
ers It such an "extraordinary proceed
ing for the presiding member of the
highest tribunal in the state to defend
one of Its decisions through the public
press, that it must be accepted by every
one that the decision needs explanation.
to say the least."
Ever1 since the publication of the let
ter of Justice Beatty. who announced
that he had wrlttei. it to explain the
decision so that the "man In the street"
could comprehend J Mr. Heney says
that he has been as - ed by "the man In
the street" why tv.e allegation that
Schmltx was Mayor was not put in the
Indictment, and that the attorneys In
the graft cases had been attacked as
utterly Incompetent and that he be
lieved the time had arrived when the
prosecution was Justly entitled to place.
Itself right before the public on the
question.
Mr. Heney then st ites that he "had
nothing whatever to do with the prep
aration of the indictments in the extor
tion cases." that t.i-y were prepared
by Hiram W. Johnsi r. with the assist
ance of another la-.vyer. both widely

TV ESTCH ESTER, Ind., Oct- 31. W. J.
Bryan, the Democratic candidate. In
grinding- up his tour of the state to
day, made public the following:
Anneal to the Public:
As the campaign draws to a clote certain
lftus stand out clearly. The Democratic
party attempts to inaugurate an era of
honesty in politics or compelling- mm puo
liratlon of campaign contributions before
the election. It seeks to bring the Gov
ernment nearer the people by securing the
election of United States Senators by di
rect vote. It seeks to restore competition
through legislation which will make a pri
vate monopoly impossible, it eeks to rec
oncile labor and capital by legislation which
will bring the employer and employe to
gether In co-operation, and to this end It
proposes the creation of a Department of
Labor with a Secretary of .bor In the.
Cabinet; an amendment to the anti-trust
law which will exclude the labor organize
tfon from the operation of that law; thi
limitation of the writ of Injunction so that
It will not be issued In a labor dispute un
less conditions are such as would Justify
an Injunction even If there were no labor
dispute, and trial by Jury in cases of indi
rect contempt.
It seeks to secure legislation which wilt
create a guarantee fund sufficient to Insure
all hank depositors against lose. It seeks
to secure a reduction of the tariff by grad
ual steps until the tariff laws will no longer
be made In the Interest of the few and at
the expense of the rest of the people.
The Democratic party. In other words,
seeks to secure honesty In government
through honest policy, and popular govern
ment through direct elections, it desires
to secure peace In Industry, competition In
trade, security to depositors and Justice to
taxpayers.
The Democratic party appeals to the
awakened conscience of the Nation and the
sense of Justice in the human heart, and to
the growing desire of brotherhood.
With a Democratic victory for the Na
ttonal ticket, with a Democratic Congress,
and with the moral force of a popular ver
dict. I believe we can compel the Senate to
yield to the expressed will of the people
and permit tne passage or ine more urgent
of the reforms.
The Democratic party offers the only
prospect of remedial legislation, and while
it does not do as some reformers would
like to do. a Democratic victory will secure
as much of reform as is now attainable-
in fact, the only reform that Is within
reach. We 'have a right to expect, there
fore, the co-operation of those who favor
the reforms set forth In our platform.
The attempt to terrorise the American
voter by the threat of a panic will not suc
ceed. We have had three panic in 48
years the panic of 1573. the panic of
1S3 and the panic of 107 and two of
these panics came under high tariff, and
each of them came under Republican Pres
idents. Mr. Tart- says that a panic will
come If I am elected. Let him give bond
that this panic will go if he Is elected.
When he says that a Democratic victory
will bring a panic, he expresses an opinion.
When I say that a disastrous panic came
last Fall without waiting for a Democratic
victory. I state a fact that cannot be dis
puted. Our platforrr hss a plan for restora
tion of nrooeritv udoo a permanent basis
a prosperity In which all will share. The
Rcnubitcan Darty has no plan that con
templates either the present relief or the
continued welfare of the peopje.
The ReDubllcaa candidate has the pre
tire that comes from the fact that his
nartv Is In newer. He ha the aid of an
army of office-holders; he has the support
of all the monopolies and law-destroying
trust; he has a large campaign fund, the
source of which his committee refuses to
disclose, and most of tne leaning newspa
nmn are with him and the Interests which
he reoresents. I Insist that It 1 not fair
for the President to use his office an ofTlce
that honc to a'l the people a If it wers
a party asset, or a personal asset, and drag
It Into tne campaign. u onynui me piiww
of Justice and ought to arouse a protest
from thos who believe that In the selec
tion of the Chief Executive the people
should be absolutely free to choose whom
they please. W. J. hkiaa.
INVADE SORORITY JINKS
Male Students Captured After Wild
Flight Through Roof.
RENO. Nev.. Oct. 31. After Invading
a sororltv Darty at which only women
were admitted, five male students of
Nevada I'niverslty, K. B. Tllllston. J.
A. Houlihan. Ralph Dlgnowlty. C. Q.
Schrapns and L.yle Selby, were cap
tured by the police, after an exciting
iiir.se last iilgnt.
At the party, the annual "Jinks" giv
en by the Theta Epsilon Sorority, some
of the young women were dressed In
male attire, others In fantastic cos
tumes, all of them In costumes that
were not meant for male gaze.
Just when the fun waa at Ha height
the Intruders were discovered. In the
pandemoni m that followed. Dlgnowity
was scalded with a pot of boiling
water. Others had their clothes ruined
with milk and punch thrown by the
members.
Police who were guarding the en
trance to the hall were called and took
the Intruders. After a wild flight, they
reached the gallery and climbed Into
the rafters. When the police secured
ladders, the students broke through the
skylight, slid down the roof and dropped
some 15 feet to the ground, only to be
captured by extra police, who had been
summoned. One man alone escaped.
The five captured were taken to the
police station and their names regis
tered. Punishment will be left to the uni
versity faculty. It Is expected that five
suspensions will follow.
Only Suspicion of BusybodJes.
RENO. Xev., Oct. 31. Following the
Investigation of the report that a 14-year-old
girl was on a train that left
Ogden yesterday morning. In the cus
tody of a white woman and a China
man and being held against her will. T.
F. Rowlands, superintendent of the
Oregon Short Line at Sparks, this
morning, sent the following explana
tion to Charles S. Fee at San Francisco.
"I have received a reply from Con
ductor Secard stating that Special
Agent Cordon got on the train at Pali
sade, Nev.. last night and after inves
tigating the case found that the woman
was hound direct from New York to
San Francisco. He says the little girl
is blind and wrong mentally, but that
the woman is evidently her mother.
Both seem to be under a great nervous
strain, but there is nothing to arouse
suspicions. . No Chinaman figures In
the case. The agitation was started by
other women passengers and none of
them seems to be able to give an intel
ligent reason for having suspicions
aroused."
