NEW YORK. Oct. SO. Perley Morse, expert accountant retained by Merton E. Lewis, State Attorney-General, to Investigate the financial transactions in this country of Paul Bolo Pasha, German spy and propagandist now un der arrest in Paris, made public today testimony given by Adolph Pavenstedt, former head of the banking house of i. Amsinck & Co., to the effect that he lent $20,000 to the late Herman Ridder, j.ublisher of the New Yorker Staats Xeitung. Pavenstedt has admitted that Bolo's negotiations with Count von Bernstorff, then German Ambassador to the United States, were conducted through him. Amsinck & Co. handled German funds for olo. Pavenstedt's testimony showed that $15,000 of the payment came from Lr. , Bernhard Dernburg, former German Colonial Minister and director of Ger man propaganda in this country, but That neither Mr. Ridder nor any mem ber of his family ever knew of Dern laurg's connection with the transaction. Mr. Ridder came to him about the (imp f hp RnrnnMn wa r bfitran. Paven stedt said, and asked a loan of 520.000; "Without Mr. Ridder's knowledge, Pav enstedt went to Dernburg and told him the situation. He said he told Dern burg the Ilidders "have always fol lowed a very good course for the Ger man Interests here." PavrnHtfdt 1'titn XTp $5000. "Then I asked him if he would put Nip the money," Pavenstedt testified. Xernburg replied that because he want ed him (Pavenstedt) "interested." he would give $15,000 if Pavenstedt would give $5000. "I talked to my partners about it and ihe firm of Amsinck & Co. first ad vanced the $50i0 with the $15,000 of Dernburg's, but I afterward personally took the money from my account be cause the partners objected to my having it on the books because it did not belong, they said, to the business," continued Pavenstedt's testimony. "Nobody ever knew that Ir. Dern - burg was the man who supplied most of it. The Pidders never knew it. They do not know it today." Mr. Morse, with the consent, he said. of the Attorney-General, displayed two other checks bea ring Pavensteri t's sig nature 1n addition to the one made pay able to the Staats Zeitung. Kach was for $50. One was to the Teutsches Journal, dated January 12. 1916. One of the indorsements It bore was of AV. R. Hearst.

Favehftcdt testified lie nad no recol lection of the checks and inquiry- into them was dropped. The following statement concerning the Riddr transaction was made to night byt Bernard H. Ridder: "The. fact that a part of the money advanced to Mr. Herman Ridder by Mr. Pavenstedt in 1914 came from Dr. Pern burg was never known to Mr. Herman Kidder, as far as we know. Mr. Ridder's pons knew nothing whatever of the entire transaction, excepting that when Mr. Ridder's financial dif ficulties became- acute the notes of O. Amsinck were presented for pay ment hete with other notes. "These notes were placed in the Jiands of. a noteholder's committee. The notes were all liquidated by the Staats Zeitung on or before Marh 1. 1916. "None of Mr. 1 lerman Ridder's sons, nor anyone connected with them or the .Staats rZeitimg. knew that Mr. Paven stedt. had not advanced his own money to Mr. Ridder. Mr. Pavenstedt, being a 3ii an of wealth, it never occurred to anyone that he would secure money other than h is owtr in a. transaction involving only $20,000. Ridder Badly In Debt. "Mr. Herman Ridder's obligations totaled millions of dollars. The money borrowed from Amsinck & Co. was used in the International Typesetting Ma chine Company and was not borrowed for the Staats Zeining. which never had occasion to borrow money. 'Before applying for a license the details of this transaction were given to the authorities the Department of Justice and the Po.-tofficr Department) on the very day when Mr. Pavenstedt made us acquainted with his transac tions with Dr. Dern burg."

(Special, t Members of the Paper Makers t'nion and the Pulp and Sulphite Workers Vnion have called a meeting for to morrow to t.'ike a strike vote, accord ing to notices which have been posted here. The labor situation in the mill has Teen unsettled for several weeks. Ne gotiations Detween committees repre senting the unions and mill officials have been carried on without any ap parent results. On September 11 committees repre tenting the unions, of which many em ployes of the Crow n-Willamc t te Taper Company arc members, called upon the jnill managers and submitted a form o agreement, which, according to th company, was in effect a demand for ; closed shop." In a persons! letter to each employe the company declined to sign the proposed agreement.

Control Gulf of Riga. BERLIN", via London, Oct. 20. It is announced by army headquarters to day that the German operations on Dago Island, north of the Gulf of Riga, j have been carried out according to plan, j . PETROGRAD, via. London. Oct. 20. "Under pressure of superior enemy naval forces we have been compelled to abandon southern Moon Sound," says the Russian official statement. "Moon Island thus came under the direct fire of the- enemy ships from the Gulf of Riga and also from Kassar Bay and we were completely deprived; of the possibility of defending Moon Island, and therefore no useful purpose would be served by attempting to hold it. Evacuation Is Inder Eire. "The evacuation of the island was begun under very difficult conditions, as it -was all the time subjected to a cross-fire from the enemy's ships. Our destroyers, trawlers and auxiliary en gaged them. "During the day our trawlers dis covered mine fields sown by enemy submarines with the obvious intention of closing to our ships the entrance to the Gulf of Riga from Moon Sound. These operations, co-ordinated with the landing of detachments on Dago Island, show unmistakably the desire of the enemy at all costs to destroy our naval forces defending this region. Rain Prevents Atrial Scouting. "All yesterday mist and rain veiled and hampered our patrol and aerial scouting for the purpose of observing the movements of the enemy's fleet. "On the various fronts there were fusillades and scout i n g." The Russian Ministry of Marine lias issued detailed statement regarding the naval battle in the Gulf of Riga, which adds nothing to unofficial reports al ready published, except a declaration that a- German torpedo-boat escorting the main squadron ran into a Russian mine and sank. Finland Uult Defended. The Russian Baltic fleet in its en tirety could not face the Germans in the Gulf of Riga without aba ndoning the responsibility for the defense of the Gulf of Kin land, according to Count Kapnist, of the-Russian Admiralty. "The Germans," he says, "effected land operations on Oesel Island with 12 transports, escorted by 12 battleships of all types, five cruisers, an enormous number of auxiliaries and oO de stroyers." The Count cites the Battle of Jutland as a precedent for the impossibility of using: submarines to advantage. Discipline Is Poor. Genera! Tcheiemissoff. commander on the Russian northern front, has issued an order condemning the agi tation among the soldiers of the north ern army. He states t hat agitators are spreading rumors that all the tol diers are preparing to leave the trenches at a given date. The difficulty of enforcing discipline in the army is illustrated by the ac quittal at Kiev of 80 grenadiers who mutinied at the time of the enemy of fensive against Tarnopol. It is alleged that the jury which acquitted them was composed of Maximalists or had been terrorized.
