PE TEP SS GCE LOE LEG EA * y ‘which J, PB. Morgan & © the Buresm of Investigation of the Department of Justice in this city had Yhis to way in regard to wire top- Ding: “I nevor heard of the Seymour case ‘Until I read of it In the newspapers. Of course we have worked with the Police in a number of cases but have Rever asked them to tap wires.” The Kings County Grand Jury con- tinued its consideration of the wire- tapping scani to-day. The wit- Messes heard were the Rev. Father Farrell, pastor of the Ohureh of 88. Peter and Paul in Brooklyn, and the Rev, Daniel C. Potter, whose wires ‘were tapped during the investigation of the Btate Board of Charities, and Charlies H. Strong, the Commissioner who conducted the investigation. Tho “Any one Who said that is a liar, and you can print it,” declared Mayor Mitchel to-day tn reply to the acou- eation of William 8. Butler, counsel for the Rev, Father Farrell of 8.8, Peter and Paul's Church, Brooklyn, who charged in a published etate- ment this morning that Mayor Mitchel personally “listened in” while Fatuer Farrell's wire was being tapped on order of Police Commissionor Woods. The Mayor made the foregoing atatement in the corridor of the City Hall while on his way to his office, Later, when interviewed in his office, he clinched tho first declaration with the following: “I repeat that the statement ts a damned lie and I don't care who stated it, It's a lie, and the man who said it knew that it was a lie. This latest at- tack is only a part of the general m representation which is being desiga. edly indulged in.” “Did you listen in on any one’s wire?” the Mayor was asked. “I did not,” he replied with em- phasis. “You can say that I did not do @ bocause I don't happen to be a detective and therefore it’s not a part of my business.” “Do yon know anything about the tapping of the Seymour & Seymour wir * the Mayor was asked. “I want to say this,” the Mayor ro- piled. “Anybody that has been warned that vital interests of the United States as a government were involved and deliberately jeopardizes these interests, while he may not be guilty under any statute of treason to the United States, is a traitor to bis country at heart. “Commissioner Woods will be on the stand to-day and he may tell something of interest. You can take my statemont and apply it to the situation as it develops.” ‘The Mayor was asked if bis sta’ ment could be interpreted as having anything to do with the Mexican sit- uation. He replied: “I repeat that you can apply my statement to the situation as it de- velops during this hearing, and can add nothing.” ‘The Butler statement which brought forth the strong language from the Mayor is as follow “L have received authoritative in- formation that Mr. John Purrey Aditchel, Mayor of the Cily of New dork, personally listened yn father Farrell's telephone wire, infurmauon is that Mayor who admits that he ordered inquiry will be continued to-morrow. | | i} Churen Btreet, estabiushed by the police, and Jistened to Father Far- vell's intimate conversations, ‘Why the Mayor of the City of New York should descend to the level of @ oommon eavesdropper is a mystery, ‘bat such a thing can be permitied in a civilized community i# another mystery.” District Attorney Swann is await. ig the receipt of a formal complaint With specifications before taking up with the Grand Jury the matter of the tapping of the telephone wires of Seymour & Seymour, the law frm which bad munitions contracts in were in- terested.

Prall Island is the site selected by the City Administration for the new garbage disposal plant, It has been held by an organization of Staten Isl- anders, who claim ownership, and plans had been laid to prevent the clty from taking title. Watchmen were employed and barbed wire boun- daries were erected, A force of about twenty-three men landed on the island last night, seized James and William Palmer, the watchmen, and forced them, at the point of revolvers, to board a launch. Part of the expedition took them to Brooklyn and landed them, The others remained on the island. These imen, their r when arrested, mes as George Stevens, James. Mooney, John Smith, Charles Cress, w.

This was done in an effort to en! alleged violations of Americah neu- trality. The Ambassador acted on instruc- tions from the Herlin Foreign Of- fice, The action was announced to- ay in this official statement from the German Embassy: “In consequence of cases which have occurred of late the German Ambassador has sent instructions to all German Consuls in the United States to strongly Impress upon German citizens living in their districts that it is thoir duty scrupulously to obey the laws of the State in which they reside.” It was said at the German Embassy that the instructions were designed to prevent plots or lawlessness on the part of German citizens who might be disposed to engage in such. The German Government looks with great disfavor upon any such conduct and desires that they shall not engage in any undertaking in any way outside the law. It was made clear that Berlin of- ficials want the United tSates and its people to understand that they have jot countenanced any illegal affairs with which German citizens or sym- pathizers in this couftry have been connected. Count von Bernstorff’s instructions were received last night amd were forwarded to German mediately. Administration officials were much interested in the statement issued by Court von Bernstorff and expressed themselves as much pleased. It was said the ning was aot the result of any action by the United States. It ig understood the Berlin Foreign Office learned that public opinion in this country was being affected by tivities of sympathizers concerned in passport frauds, bomb plots and similar operations, It thought probable that no new German military or naval attaches will come to the United States be- fore the end of the war, because Ger- an officials feel they would be sub- ct to suspicion and the German Government is represented as desirous of putting an end to activities ob- Jectionable to the United States. 3 COLONIAL FUDGE—A creamy init five furlongs.—Wood Trap, 112 (Hayn. 7 to 5, 2 to 5 and out, first; Bally, 112 (Loftus), 6 to 1, 2 to 1 and even, second: | Night Owl, 112 (Butwell), 3 to 1, even | 103 (Buxton), 6 to 1, 56 to 2 and 6 second; Steliarina, 103 (J.
