Whatever Course Seems Best,
WASHINGTON, March 1. Preal
dent Wilson will pass personally up
on the allegations that officials ot
the German embassy violated dlplo
malic ethics and neutrality by try.
In to obtain by fraud American
passports for lire of German aples in
England. This was decided on today
by high officials of the administra
tion. It was denied there Is any Inten
tion to make an Issue with Germany
out of the charges resulting In the
arrest In New York of Richard Steg-'
lr who confessed to frauds and as
serted that Captain Boy-ed, German
naval attache, employed him as a
spy. If It Is shown that any German
diplomatic officials abused the hos
pitality of the United States, the facts
will be presented to the German gor
ernment which will decide Itself
what It wants done In the case.
The recall of the officials who of
forded will not be asked. It was al
so stated that the Investigation ot
the charges of participation In the
passport frauds by Captain Boy-ed
nd Captain Von Papen, German mil
ltxry atuche, which was begun by
the state department and the depart
ment of Justice, had not been com.
plcted.
The German embassy characterls
ed as "blackmail" the charges that
Ha officials were maintaining a secret
service bureau. The statements from
the embassy will have great weight
with administration officials.
NEW YORK, March 1. Mrs. Rich
ard Stegler. whose husband confessed
he had conspired with Captain Boy-ed
of the German embassy to obtain by
fraud a passport for Stegler's use as a
German spy In England was arrested
on charges made by Arthur Matelkat
a reporter for a German newspaper,
who alleges she hit him with a cane
and threw a seltzer bottle at his head.
Mrs. Stegler was arrested early this
morning at her rooms In the Grenoble
hotel. She asserts the whole case Is
a "frame up", because she Induced her
husband to confess regarding the pass
ports. $he was fully dressed when
the police entered. She declared she
was Induced to go to the hotel on a
promise of Matelkat that he would
reveal "Important news" regarding
the passport case against her hus
band. Oppose Anti-Trust Docrco.

HANDLE WORK ON NEW WIN6
W. C. Knighton, state architect
who planned the Eastern Oregon
Slate ilospltal, will do 'the architec
tural work on the additional wing on
u commission bnsla and Captain C.
.. Murphy, engineer at the Institu
tion, will bo superintendent of con
struction for the state while the
work Is on. A substitute engineer
will bo provided while Mr. Murphy
Is engaged In overseeing the con
structlon work.
The selection of Captain Murphy
to superintend tho construction work
nt tho hospital was nuuto by tho
state board nt a meeting Saturday
and upon the Initiative of State
treasurer Kay. Captain Murphy was
superintendent of construction when
the main buildings were erected here
rrd was given much praise for the
monner In which he handled the Job.
By action of the state board Mr.
Knighton Is dropped as a salaried of
ficer and will be given a commission
of three and a half per cent for
handling the new Improvements
here. In addition he must bear his
twn office expenses.
The reason given for eliminating
the architect as a salaried officer Is
that there Is not sufficient building
work In sight to Justify retaining a
permanent official. Though tho
t.lr.n worked for economy during the
tl,st few years while considerable
building work was on It Is estimated
the feo system will be more econom
ical during the coming year.
