MANN HAS LAPSES OF MEMORY Editor Makes Poor Witness for Himself. Asked to Tell About Notorious “Fads , and Fancies.” Declares That He Did Not Get Doliar of Huntington Money. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. a scathing cross-examination to-day Colonel Mann, the editor of Town Top- ics, who accuses Petar F. Collier and his son, the proprietors of Collier's Weekly, and Norman Hapgood, the ed- itorial writer, of criminal libel, told A. Irving, who was arrested last week on a charge of attempted blackmai growing out of the “Fads and Fancies" scheme. Colonel Mann was a reluctant witness, and continually answered im- portant uestions with “I can't re- member. The lawyer brought out the admis- sion that Mrs. Huntington's subscrip- won had been ot $5000 each in cash. “I did not get a dollar of it,” declared Colonel Mann under a fire of questions. “It was turned into Town Topics.” “Did you not tell the reporters that you had a cartload of scandals that Would blow up New York if they were printed?” s near as 1 can recall,” answered Mann, “I sald that cartloads of scandal- ous matter were coming to my office, which I never used.” Colonel Mann admitted Irving had obtained most of the subscriptions to “Fads and Fancies,” receiving a com- mission of 15 per cent, which may have amounted in the aggregate to $15,000. He declared that he could not remem- ber having given to Irving letters of introduction to Grover Cleveland and Frederick Gebhardt, and he denied he had made statements about William ‘K. Alfred G. and Reginald Vanderbilt. “Did you get the Vanderbiits as sub- serfbers?” aemanded Attorney borne. Colonel Mann again protestad that he could not remember, Whereupon the law- ver ordered him to produce his lists. Col- onel Mann opened a copy of “Fads and Fancles. receipts as proper safeguards?”’ Colonel Mann finally answered: “Yes; we did safeguard the public, defy you to produce anybody who can say that we did not fulfill our contracts.” ————————— ARRANGES TO SIGNAL AFTER Negro Agrees on Plan With P Its Success Is Considered Doubtful Dec.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, | WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—There is the | gravest concern in the State Depart- ment over the Chinese situation and | the concern Is deepening day by day. | The statements following the Shanghal riots to the effect that the State De- partment officials were not infected | with the excitement that prevalled in | the European capitals over the matter | were true only in one sense. The ex- citement has been kept under control, but anxlety and apprehension are present and the gravity of the situa- tion is only emphasized by the attempt of the officlals to hide their feelings. China is being much discussed by the American State authorities to the ex- clusion for the present of everything else. 1t is known that there is a mass | ot intormation touching the rapldly spreading Chinese hatred of the for- igners in the possession of the de- partment, which it has not seen fit to | | make public. The officials have cer- | tain knowledge that, while the rioters | | have directed their assaults impartially against all foreigners of white ‘skins, | the inciters of the riots have made a | special mark of the Americans. | It is not so much for the immediate | present that Secretary Root fears as it is for the future. The mere matter of \ | { | | | | | ] | | a trade treaty with China has sunk into i gnificance in the face of the | tear that at any moment further | demonstrations may be made against | foreigners In other parts of the em- | pire as the news of the Shanghal riots spreads. The State Department has not fail®d | to note that the Japanese residents of | | China, who are foreigners as far as the | Chinese Government is concerned, bave | been free from molestation. In this | | they see another significant thing, and | in view of the events of the recent past it 15 believed in Washington that a real | foreign demonstration against China | for the preservation of the rights of | Americans and others would be met with more than the mere verbal objec- tion of Japan. —————————————— GOVERNMENT BEGINS WAR UPON THE HESSIAN FLY | Wil Endeavor to Drive the Destructive | Pest From the Wheat !
