GERMANY'S EMBASSADOR IS FORMALLY RECEIVED Baron von Sternberg Presents His Credentials to Presi- ~ dent Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill and Cordial Assur- ances of Good Will and Friendship Are Exchanged 1 | NE STERNRERG | o | | | NEW | PRESIDENT GERMAN EMBASSADOR WHO WAS SIGNALLY ROOSEVELT BY THE FORMAL RECEPTION AT SAGA- MORE HILL YESTERDAY, AND HIS WIFE. HONORED BY YSTER BAY, L. 1 Sagamore Hill was the scene to- day of interesting ceremony. Baron Speck von Sternberg, who has been Minister Plenipotentiary of Germany to the United States since Embassador von Holleben returned to | Germany and who recently on the retire I ment of Mr. ven to the rank of Embassador, presented to the President his credentials as Embas- | sador and was received formally in his | diplomatic rank by President Roosevelt. Embassador von Sternberg arrived here at 10:04 o'clock from New York. He was accompanied by Acting Secretary of State Loomis and Colonel Symons, superintend- ent of the public buildings and grounds at an Washington. The Embassador was in full | court dress. The formal presentations oc- | curred in the parlor of the Roosevelt home. Embassador von Sternberg laid before | President Roosevelt the letter announcing | the recall of Embassador von Holleben | and his own credentials as successor. The German Embassador said: M. President: By command of hie Majesty, the German Emperor, King of Prussia, my most gracious master. 1 have the honor, Mr, Presid to place in vour hands a letfer of his Majesty whereby he recalls his former Embassador Extraordfeary and Minister Pleni- potentiary in the United States of America. I place thiz, my credential letter, in your hands with the assurance that it shall be my most earnest endeavor to cultivate, promote and de- velop the relations of friendship which have 8o {long existed without the slightest frritation | between Germany and the United States. I trust, Mr. President, that vou will kindly see- ond my efforts and thus facilitate the fulfill- | ment of my important mission. | President Roosevelt replied as follows: Mr. Embassador: 1 have much pleasure in | receiving from your hands the letter whereby Holleben was elevated | Aug. T.— |you as his Embassa Extraordinary and | Minister Plenipotentiary in the Uni of America in place of his Maj Embassador, Mr. von liolleben, whose letter of recall vou now deliver to me. Your knowledge of the American Government and President, gained during your several pe- rlods of residence as a diplomatic agent of Germany, and the pl ant relations which have existed between y @lf and the execu- tive offices of this country, lend added weight to the assurance af your desire and endeavor to advance and . strengthen the relations of amity which hate been maintained so long and unbrokenly between the United States and Germany and will enable you, moreover, to appreciate at Its full weight the reciprocal as- | surance which I gladly cffer of the equal wish and purpose of this Government to promote in | all practicable ways the fulfiliment of your mission At the conclusion of the ceremony the President and Embassador von Sternterg, as old friends, chatted animatediy. The Embassador will be the unofficial guest of the President until some time to-morrow. It was stated authoritatively to-day that the reception by the President of the German Embassador at Sagamore Hill is not to be regarded as a precedent, al- though it is the first time in the history ot the country that an Embassador has presented his credentials to the President outside of Washington. Ministers who arrive in the United States during the vacation seasor will not be presented to the President at his summer home unless thére is some strong and urgent reason for it. Baron von Sternberg was received because the circumstances connected with hig coming to the United States were ex- ceptional, in a senge. Then, too, he Js a long-fime personal friend of the President. The only way in which the presentation te-day may be considered a precedent wiil be whea the conditions are similar—that ig, when an Embassador shall receive his promotion to that rank while in and ac- credited to this country as a Minister { his Majs the German Emperor, aceredits | Plenipotentiary. « - GETa HER GOLD San Bernardino Police Seek Mrs. Perry’s Fiance. | SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 7.-C. Creighton, after a month’s sojourn in San Bernardino, left hurriedly yesterday evening, taking with him $500 belonging to Mrs. Amanda Perry, a middie-aged widow. When Creighton arrived here he was flashily clad, wore diamonds and talked continually of his gold mines on the Colorado desert. He formed the ac- quaintance of Mrs. Perry, and, affecting to he infatuated with her, proposed mar- riage. She accepted and the two seems very devoted. - Yesterday Creighton went to Mrs. Perry in embarrassment, saying that he needed $500 to close a business venture. His mines were worth $100,000, but they were bonded and he had no ready cash on hand. He begged a loan for ten days and Mrs. Perry favored her loved one by mortgaging her little home for $500 and giving him the money. Last night Creighton disappeared and there seems to be no likelihood of his returning. The officers have been notified and are doing their best to locate him. ——————— Windstorm Hits Tucson. TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 7.—A heavy rain- storm prevailed here this evening. It was preceded by an extraordinarily heavy wind, which did considerable damage in the city. The boys' dormitory at the University of Arizona, one mile north of the city, was damaged to the extent of $2500. The roof was torn off and one wing blown down. Two students were in the building at the time, but escaped with slight injuries. ——————— A Guaranteed Cure for Piles.

POINT RICHMOND, Aug. 7.—Pierre Debray, the French butler, arrested on complaint of Willlam Mintzer. manager of the Tewksbury estate, for an alleged attempt at extortion of $:000 under threats to murder the Mintzer family, is, accord- ing to his own confession, an anarchist. To Constable John Bouquet the young house servant to-day admitted his al- legiance to the doctrines of destruction and declared with some bravado that he followed the principles of the iconoclastic brotherhood. Debray's admissions were the result of questioning by the officers at Martinez after they had translated into English a lot of letters found among Debray’s effects. They were written to him by a brother in France. The mes- sages breathed anarchism so strongly that the prisoner was interviewed on the subject. i | n;n What my brother fs,” he re- ed. That satisfied the officers. To make positive evidence of the similarity of the letters—the one that Mintzer received, in which the blackmailing demand was made, and the message Debray wrote in reply to the decoy—they were submitted to-day to a handwriting expert in San Francisco. After examination the expert reported to Constable Bouquet and Mint- zer that the same hand penned both let- ters. ere was an unmistakable identity in the peculiar shape of the “A’ each sample of script that could not have been made otherwise than by the same writer.
