Berlin, via London, Juno 19. Dr.
Anton Meyor-Gerhnrd, who sailed
from New York Juno 4 on a mission
to the German government from Count
von Berustorff, reached Berlin on
Wednesday.
Ho had a protracted conference
with Foreign Minister von Jagow and
Minister Solf of tho colonial ofllco.
Tho report that Dr. Moyer-Gorhard
Is In reality Dr. Alfred Meyer, chief
of tho supply department of tho Gor
man army, was denied authoritatively.
Washington, Juno 19. Doveltfp
ments which promise to mnke the
case a Bensatlon of some importance
occurred In connection with tho
charges that Dr. Meyer-Gerhard, for
whom tho state department obtained
safe passage to Germany, was In re
ality Dr. Alfred Meyer, chief of tho
upply division of the Gorman army.
Tho stato department received from
the German embassy at Cedarhurst,
j. I., an official denial of tho charges,
and a statement from the German am
bassador that the publication of tho
charges waB likely to operate against
his efforts to bring about a peaceful
settlement of tho controversy between
this government and Germany.
In several other Instances of late
whero publicity was given to charges
against the German ambassador and
members of his staff the view of the
German government, now disclosed
for the first tlmo, was that the
charges originated with a detective
agency employed by Germany's ene
mies. Tho state department gave out tho
following statement, Including tho
denial of tho ambassador:
"The department of state has re
ceived a telegram from the Gormnn
counselor, dated Juue 1G, calling at
tention to articles appearing in yes
torday's papers in regard to an al
leged breach of confidence on tho
part of tho ambassador in sending a
secret Gorman gun ngont to Berlin In
place of Doctor Gerhard, tho Red
Cross delogate. In reference to those
articles the ambassador states as fol
lows:
' 'It Is unnecessary for mo to as
sure you that the story circulated by
these articles 1b untrue from begin
ning to end. It contains a personal
attack upon tho ambassador and his
delegate, Dr. Meyer-Gerhard, and Is
likely at the same timo to nullify the
sincere and earnest efforts of the
ambassador4 to bring about an un
derstanding between tho United States
and Germany in the Lusltania ques
tion.' "

Jollet, 111. Mrs. Edmund M. Allen,
tho young wlfo of the warden of the

comic opera favorite, was found dead
and burned in her bed in the
warden's suite in the penitentiary. A
wound on the left temple and tho
rapidity with which tho flames char
red her body almost beyond recogni
tion gave rise to the belief that she
had been stunned by a blow on the
head, and her night clothes soaked
with alcohol and ignited. A bottle
which had contained alcohol was.
found in tho room, together with a
heavy water bottle which might havo
been the instrument with which alio
was struck. An examination showed
she had not been outraged. Mrs. Al
len was formerly a prima donna of a
company presenting "The Merry Wi
dow." Her maiden name was Odette
Maizee Bordeoux, and her home Los
Angeles. Joseph Campbell, a negro
convict, who acted as tho Aliens'
house servant and who lived In the
warden's suite was placed in solitary
confinement nfter a committee of
prison officials had investigated the
fire. He will be charged with murder,.
it was said.
