monstrosity with a palpitating heart and
breathing lungs and nothing more,
It is a sad reflection to what state of
degeneracy and monstrosity a human be
ing, the perfect Image of God, could be
brought by blundering nature. We are
spending all our energies, our efforts,
our mental powers, our blood life to Im
prove the human race, to beautify it, to
make it perfect, and In a case like this
to have permitted a monstrosity like the
Chicago child to live would be Incom
patible with all modern and anolent
teachings, practice and theories. To have
permitted this child to breathe would
have been a sad Infliction and torture on
the poor mother, who. through no fault
of hers, gave birth to such a monstrosity.
To have allowed the child to live on would
have been terrible punishment to the
father, to tha brothers and sisters If ths
child had any and to the whole human
race, for' that matter, and who would
blush with shame that the perfect linage
of God could be made so hideous, so
abhorrable, so repulsive, so disgusting

The mother, who consented to let na

HAMBURG AGENTS
ON TRIAL MONDAY
0. S. Government Alleges German
Line Chartered Ships to Supply
War Craft.
ONE OF FIVE NOT ARRESTED
NEW YORK, Nov. 21. One hun
dred or more witnesses to testify
against high officials of the Hamburg-American
steamship line at
their trial on charges of conspiracy,
which begins next Monday, have
been summoned by the government,
It waa announced today.
The trail probably will last a
week. Four of the five defendants
have pleaded not guilty and the fifth
has not been apprehended. The
maximum penalty for the crime
charged is two yearn' Imprisonment
and $1,000 fine on each of the two
Indictments.
The defendants are Karl rtuenx, manag
ing director of the line. In control of a
great fleet of German merchantmen and
liners which sailed tinder the Hamburg
American house flag; Adolph Hoch
melster, purchasing agent of the line;
Joseph Popenhaus, a second officer In
the line's employ; George Kotter, superin
tendent of the line, and Felix Boffner,
alleged supercargo on one of the ves
sels which sailed with supplies for the
aid of German cruisers.
Seffner Not Foand.
Beffner has not been found. A charge
unique In American Jurisprudence faces
them conspiracy to defraud and deceive
the government by obtaining clearance
papers on false representations.
To facilitate the trial counsel for the
defense admits that the defendants char
tered certain ships and sent them with
supplies to the German cruisers Karl
sruhe. Kaiser Wllhelm and other Ger
man men of war, active In the Atlantic
in the late summer and early fall of 1914,
as charged, but denies that these acts
constitute a conspiracy to defraud or
deceive the United States. The Intent,
It Is claimed, was to deceive the allies.
Instead.
Sa well did the German agents know
that war was .inevitable, the government
charges, that some of the fifteen ships
involved were chartered weeks before the
war began and several actually sailed
on their alleged errands of war before
war had been actually declared. To
support these and other charges, numer
ous affidavits have been taken by the
government. One of them relates to an
occurrence aboard the Maria Quesada, a
steamer sailing from Newport News, Va. ,
In October, 1914, ostensibly for Val
paraiso. Won't fllve Vp Papers.
This vessel, the government charges,
had abosrd a German supercargo, as did
all the other vessels Involved. When
the steamer failed to find the German
cruiser It was seeking, the affidavit
charges, It cruised about for some time
end finally put into Pernambuco. Tho
Brazilian authorities, apparently sus
picious, sought its papers. These, the
affidavit continues, the captain refused
to surrender, but placed them In a bag
and threw them overboard. He then
notified the Brazilian cruiser sent out to
him, that he had lost his papers.
Several days later, the affiant states
under oath, the papers, bag and all were
found In the belly of a shark, which
some Brazilians had captured and drawn
up on shore.
In another Instance, according to Roger
B. Wood the assistant district attorney
In charge of the prosecution, the govern
ment is prepared to prove that the Hamburg-American
line paid f3.V,000 to the
owners of an American vessel which had
been sold, under a British prize court
order. The vessel was the Lorens which
silled August 6. 1914. from New York
with supplies. It Is charged, for German
cruisers in the West Indies, and the
amount represented Its full value.
Placed In New York Bank.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars of German money, the defendants
admit, was sent In chartering and out
fitting four vessels for relief of the
cruisers. This money, the government
Is prepared to prove, according to Mr.
Wood, was placed In a New York bank
to the credit of a man who was told
to spend It under direction of Captain
K. Boy-Ed, the German naval attache,
and was spent In accordance with these
Instructions.
Millions of dollars, the government
computes, were spent in chartering and
supplying ths fifteen vessels which fig
ure In ths charges.
What these veaaels sought to carry to
the German cruisers, the government
charges, was virtually a complete list of
tV) cruisers' needs, from cigars, wine and
cigarettes, to coal, fresh water, sauer
kraut and lubricating oil. In two cases,
it Is chsrged, complete water condensing
apparatus was carried so that the salt
water might be condensed for drinking
purposes.
