Although Archibald was not annoy- ed by further questioning on his ar- rival here on the Rotterdam, he was kept under surveillance from the time he landed. He at once began to make statements denying that ne knew anything of the contents of the Dumba message. * Archibald’s Statement, Archibald Was met by his counsel, Frank J. Hogan, of Washington, and after a consulation issued the follow- ing staf ent: When I arrived in America this morning I had no information regard- ing the unfortunate affair involved in the sending by the Austrian Am- bassador to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of his country of a letter by me- I was in no sense a dispatch bear- er’ for any one- What I did was done merely as an accomodation to friends. Naturally, before leaving for belligerent territority to do fleld work with armies, I sought proper letters of introduction and recommendatior. These letters were mostly in German, and as I am not proficient in reading that language, I did not seek to trans- late them. With the exception of a couple of notes accompanying trifl- ing gifts of personal nature, I sup- posed all these letters were in: rela- tion to my work. I did not know, nor do I now know, anything of their contents. “I read only one letter in particular which I had asked Prince Hatzfeldt to have written for me. I suggested, almost word for ward, its contents. Feeling there might be a strong anti- American sentiment in Germany, I asked Prince Hatzfedt to prepare an open letter stating that I was friendly to their cause- No Knowedge of Contents, which he went abroad, reached Fal- mouth, England, military authori- ties came aboard and asked him. if he was carrying any dispatches to Germany. “They asked mne,” he said, “just as they ask every traveller who in ér out of Bngland. I told them [ was not carrying any dispatches to Germany. Then they asked me if I had given anything to the purser to keep, and when I said no, they asked if I had a safe deposit box. I said T had and they demanded the keys, which I gave them. Four of them: searched my. cabin. Told to Come Ashore. posit vault. I hid nothing. They tooi them ashore and after two hours came back. They told me to come ashore ang that I could take my baggage with me. “I was turned over to the local police at Falmouth and detained thirty-six hours in a cell.

I had #o0 idea then that anything was wrong, as nothing was said to me. I learned of the trouble on my return voyage: ° Kept From Germany. “When I got to Rotterdam Minister van Dyke asked me to come to the le- gation. There he told me he had or- ders to take up my passport and that I could not go to Germany. “I think the British authorities got the tip to arrest me by their agents in this country seeing the Dumba let- ter given to me by a secretary, who said it was a message the ambassador wanted me to take for him. “I want to clear this matter up. I am going to my Washington home in the morning. I shall address a com- munication to the Secretary of State volunteering to give all the informa- tion I have on the matter. I have not received any intimation that this is desired, but wish to do it in jus- tice te myself.” “Dr. Dumba’s letter was given to me most openly at the last moment on | the dock at the foot of the steamer’s gankplank. Of its contents I had ab- solutely no knowledge. It was in a small, sealed envelope, without spe- cial seal, however, and owing to the open manner in which it was publicly handed me I supposed that it simply referred to my work. I feel the very openness of the manner in which the letter was given me shows Dr, Dumba had no intention of using me or my passport as a shield for the transmis- sion of any improper letters. “Last year, when I went abroad, I was compelled to land at Plymouth, England- Anticipating that it would be embarrassing to carry German ‘Wwritten letters recommending to Ger- many officials, through England, I placed most of my papers in the ship’s safe-deposit box, intending to leave them, should it be again necessary tc proceed overland through England- “I did not consciously break etther the spirit or the letter of my pass- port or of any law, but merely did what every traveller crossing the ocean does, by carrying notes or small rackages as an accomodation to friend.s, just as I did when I returned from Germany last year, when 2 gAr- ried several letters and official dis- patches to our State Department for Ambassador Gerard.” Searched at Falmouth. In telling of his arrest, Archibald sald that when the Rotterdam, on‘llam O’Donnell Iselin, the Detectives on Ship. Asked if the secret service men had visited his raom or had spoken with him, he said they had not. He said he did not know what disposition was to be made of him, but that up to that time he had not been arrested. As he spoke two of his trailers stood with arms folded, watching him. Archibald throughout his talk ap- peared to be trying to keep his temper and avoid argument. After having parried questions for about two min- utes the friend of Dumba rushed up the main saloon stairway holding his left hand over a small red button om the lapel of his coat. He had been asked what the decoration stood for, but retreated at the question. Balked At Camera Battery. Archibald, who has made pictures at various battlefields, wha has writ- ten of wars and who has interviewed persons of importance, balked at the camera battery set on two flanks awaiting his advent down the gang- plank. He was almost the last of the saloon passengers to go ashare, and in his dash down the plank for- got to see if his wife was behind him. She was held aboard ship, hav- ing no red landing card, required of all citizens. Archibald’s card made out for him- self and wife, was surrendered as he went ashore.

BERLIN SURE ALLAN LINER HIT MINE German Admiralty Absolutely Certain No Submarine Torpedoed Steam- er Hesperian. Berlin, Sept. 21.—The German ad- miralty is now absolutely certain that the Allan line steamer Hesperian was not destroyed by a German subma- rine. All the boats which were out at the time of the disaster have now returned to their bases, the Associated Press is author- itatively informed and it is said that none of them torpedoed the steamer. On the contrary, it is said that the admiralty is convinced the disaster was due to a floating non-German mine. As confirmation of the admir- alty belief it is pointed out that a mine painted green and white, and which it is declared was not a German miine, was driven ashore a few days ago on the coast of Ireland in the vicinity where the Hesperian was blown up. London, Sept. 21.—With respect to the German denial of responsibility for the sinking of the Allan line steamer Hesperian, the British official press bureau has issued the following statement: “Undoubted proof exists that a Ger- man submarine was actually in the locality where the Hesperian was at- tacked and ships were sunk boath to the north and south of this spot on September 4 and 5. The explosion was of the type caused by a torpedo now in the possession of the admir- alty, which was picked up on board the ship before she sank.” under-water An Overburdened Wife. If the work that women do and the pains they suffer could be measured in figures, what a terrible array they would present! Through girlhood, wifehood and motherhood woman toils on, often suffering with back- ache, pains in side, headaches and nervousness which are tell-tale symp- toms of organic derangements which Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound—made from roots and herbs— can undoubtedly correct. Women who suffer should not give up hope until they have given it a trial.—advt. T R, WILLRON AGAIN DECLARES HURDOCK Provided Colonel Thinks He Has Chance to Win New York, Sept. 21.—Colonel Roosevelt will run again as the pro- gressive candidate for president if he thinks he has a chance to win. That is the opinion expressed by Victor Murdock, chafrman of the progressive national committee, yesterday. Division among democrats, the pos- sible renomination of William Howard Taft by the republicans as a result #nd following both of these happen- ings an excellent chance for another presidential fight on the part of the progressives, this is the vision of Mr. Murdock, who attended a meeting of the county chairman of New York state at the Hotel Manhattan yester- day. Dinner for Murdock. There will be a conference of some of the leading progressives in the east tomorrow at the same hotel, to be fol- lowed by a dinner in honor of Mr. Murdock in the evening. Plans for the future of the party and for build- ing up its strength for 1916 will be discussed. In addition to the principal New York leaders those coming are Wil- liam Flinn and E. A. Van Valkenberg, of Pennsylvania; Everett Colby, Irving Taylor and J. A. Hopkins, of New Jersey; Herbert Knox Smith, of Ccnnecticuty Matthew Hale and Francis W. Bird, of Massachusetts; H. P. Gardner, of Maine, and Willlam Sabacool, of New Hampshire. Moose to Work Hard. At the meeting of the county chair- men yesterday it was decided that a tremendoug effort be made to get a big progressive enrollment this fall. What slight talk there was about the proposed new constitution was favor- able. A special committee, consisting ot Michael Schaap, of New York; Robert E. Elder, of Kings, and Dr. L. B. Hamlin, who succeeded Chauncey J. Hamlin as county chairman in Erie, was appointed to gather the sentiment of the various communities as it will be reported to them by the county chairmen. This committee will report to another meeting of the chairmen to be held here on Septem- ber 30. In addition to the national chair- man and fifty-five of the sixty-three county chairmen those present ves- terday were George W. Perkins, Mr. Schaap, Willlam H. Hotchkiss, Wil- liam Hamlin Childs, Justice William L. Ransom, of the city court; William Halpin and Professor Samuel McCune Lindsay. Walter A. Johnson, state chairman, presided. Predict Great Future. Former Representative Murdock addressed the meeting, but after it was over, he laid more stress on some of his ideas about the future of the progressive party. “It is impossible for the progres- sives to get together with the repub- licans,” he declared. ‘The republi- cons cannot throw off the influence of former Senator Root and Willlam. Barnes. I hear that Mr. Root has recanted, but he has not yet joined the church. “I tell you there is going to be a great fight in the democratic party as a result of the next session of con- gress. The young men will fight the 0ld mossback ideas of the fossils from , into the country.” Mr. Hotchkiss and Justice Ransom said they favored the proposed con- stitution because the amendments were taken from the progressive plat- form, ‘““What was considered radical in 1912,” said Justice Ransom, “is now spoken of by some as conservative.” movement all over the BRITISH STEAMER SUNK.

Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, ought to be nominated. “I recognize that Colonel Roosevelt is not inclined to run,” said Mr. Mur- dock. “Do you think he might run if he thought there was a good chance to win?” Natural Preparedness. “Well, I guess that about expresses the situation,” was the reply. As to the 1916 platform of his party Mr. Murdock thought the head- line would be national preparedness. The 1912 platform would be re- affirmed, he declared. “How about yourself?” . «“Oh, T am only an atom floating on the billows of the rest of the sea,” said the national chairman with a wave of his hand. “The democratic tariff reduction Lag not reduced the cost of living to the ultimate consumer,” the speaker said, “but if they put the republican party back they would get another Payne-Aldrich bill. 1 don’t believe the people want to jump from the frying pan into the fire. w York Strategic State. “It was demonstrated in 1912 that there are 4,000,000 voters who do not make a fetich of a party label.

If the party here made a record it would have a good effect elsewhere. “Read our platform every little while,” he said, ‘“and make the people believe we are going to win.
