TEL. 777 | PICTURE IN HERALD | MAY CAUSE EXPOSE Alleged Inventor oi German Gas Is Subject of Investigation Attracted by a picture and story in the January 22 edition of the New Britain Herald concerning Robert Bever, who said he was the inventor (\f one of the ingredients of the poison gas used by Germany against Ameri- can soldiers, and that he would go to work for the International Harvester company, 11 soldiers, suffering from the effects of gas at Wildwood sani- tarium, have voiced their protest against the German to Senator Bran- degee through ILawyer Benedict M. Halden of Hartford. The story in The Herald reads to the effect that Rob- ert Beyer, a German chemist, who claims to be the inventor of one of the ingredients of the poison gas used against the Americans, had arrived in Bosten on his way to Chicago to ac- cept a position with thé International Harvester Co. The story also stated that Beyver was the first German to arrive in Boston since the war. On seging the article in The Herald, Private Ericson, an inmate of Wild- waod, at once wrote to Lawyer Holden and enclosed the clipping concerning Beyer. Lawyer Holden wrote a letter to Senator Frank Brandegee stating the facts and enclosed the clipping. Senator Brandegee notified the emi- gration authorities who are investigat- ing. and wrote a letter to the Interna- tional Harvester company making in- quiries about the German. The sena- tor also hotified the American Legion headquarters at Washington concern- ing Bever. Harold M. McCormick, president of the International Harvester company, in answer to Senator Brandegee's let- ter stated that his company is not en- gaging the Robert Beyer who came over to America recently, and also makes the statement: ““We learn that Robert Beyer ; is not the German chemist who invented ingredients ta use in making gas, but is simply a man of the same name.” The emigration authorities are in- vestigating the matter, and it has been brought to the attention of the commissioner of emigration at Boston, Mass.,, Pohn W. Abercrombie, an emi- | sration official, has promised to in- form Senator Brandegee of the results of the investigation. GOLD MINERS WORKING Strike Among Those in Crown Fields of South Africa is Settled—Satis- faction is Expressed. Vinon South | Africa, March 3.—The strike among | the native workers in the Crown gold | mines, in the Rand, which has been in progress for some time, has been set- { tled. There had heen complaint among the men of unjust treatment because of political opinions, but the cxecutive body of the miners has ex- pressed itself as satisfied: that there will be no difficulty on this account in the future. During the strike which gave signs late last week of beginning to col- lapse thousands of the men returning ta their work, there was no disorder up to Sunday when a contingent of mounted riflemen was forced to charge a crowd in rescuing two po- licemen who had been stoned by na- tives. Later stones were thrawn at a party of whites on.their way to a cemetery, this resulting in a fight in which twa natives were killed. The troubles were finally stopped by pa- trols.

Berlin, March 2.—The fight to de- prive the former emperor of his prop- erties and fortune began in earnest today when the motion of the major- ity socialists of the diet to refer the issue to the national assembly pre- cipitated an acrimonious debate. The majority socialists vied with the in- dependents in denunciation of the former ruler in an effort to defeat the praposed settlement by accomplish- ing the confiscation of the Hohenzol- lern possessions. This would be through constitutional amendment voting the former emperor a fixed sum for his maintenance. Deputy Graef, a majority socialist, declared the ex-ruler had failed to live up to the historic precedents of his race. his troops. He chase instead, the deputy continued, a midnight flight to Holland, where he “is néw promenad- ing and sawing wood.” The deputy expressed doubt as to whether the former emperar had sub- scribed to war loans, as has been claimed, while his claim that he had been the guardian of peace had been disproved by his continuous rattling of the sword and proclamations of the mailed fist. The demacrat and the clericals join- ed in voting for the government’s measure providing that the settlement be referred to the committee of judi- ciary. The judiciary committee now takes the bill under advisement and con- ferences are expected to last many weeks. The motion of the majority social- ists providing for action by the na- tional assembly has been temporari tabled.

Budapest, March 1.—Immediately after Admiral Horthy had assumed his duties as regent of Hungary, Pre- mier Huszar announced that the cabinet had resigned. Admiral Hor- thy, however, asked that the ministry retain office pending the formation of a4 new government. A scene unparalleled in Hungarian history occurred when Admiral Hor- Hardly had his afiirmation than the Diet and galleries rose and sang the national anthem amid wild enthusiasm. It appears that Admiral asked the consent of the powers before assuming the regenc; and that he accepted it on condi- tion that he should be empowered to dissolve the national assembly if he found it necessary.
