The truth of Hardenberg'a charges
waa proven by Consul General Max

Casement found that the rubber eol

than formal slavery; that they made
them work without pay; that they stole
their crops; thst they stols their women

out clear and unmistakable Instructions
to the contrary from the mayor or the

garbage be delivered after the expira

if it is the intention of the administra

extension of time on the test as Super
intendent Namer does not wish to as
sume responsibility of expending more
of the taxpayers' money without spe
