toward the stage concern was en
tirely: honorable, issued the fol
lowing statement to the press:
"I desire to give the press the
true story concerning the asper

gainst my character by my col
league, the Hon. Mr. Vandevort.
-I do-1 not deem it necessary or a
prerequisite to sustain my honor
or integrity to make any expiana
tlons as to any transactions which
occurred several months ago, but
in order to leave no doubt In the

desire to give an account of pro

continual rate- wars with their
competitors which have necessita
ted several hearings before the

Last fall, tr. Frank Hilton, the
then counsel (I presume he still
is) of the Dollar Stages was un
able to attend a hearing before
the public utilities commission
and the owners and operators of
the Dollar Stages came to my of

and requested "my assistance to
represent them. I had never prior
to the time met said owners nor
was I acquainted with the off 1-

"We met before the P. U. C.

IS SIGNED
WASHINGTON, June 3.--In

continuance of normal relations.
the United States and Germany to
day signed a new treaty of friend

right to replace a 10-year old pact
which would have, terminated Oc

The new treaty', signed by Sec
retary Hull and Dr. Hans Luther,
the German ambassador, would
eliminate the unconditional most
favored nation clause, but retain
all provisions of the existing
treaty concerning residence, navi
gation, and consular right.
Since it is -a treaty not coming
within the scope ' of the trade
agreement act, it must be rati

said in breaking a silence he has
maintained since his little nephew
was returned home early Saturday
after nearly eight days' captivity.
Department of Justice Agents
took custody of the machine
shortly after it was found in Se

have guarded it rigidly in a gar

it for fingerprints of the kidnap

Titcomb. a high official in the
wealthy Weyerhaeuser lumber or
ganization, would not comment
further on the car refusing to af
firm or deny whether it had been
taken from hfm by tbe abductors.
The fact the machine was found
abandoned in Seattle gave defi

members of the gang had fled In
that direction, presumably a short
time after they got tbe money.
No information could be ob
