The Sta'.o Department has not yet acted on the baron's last c>riplaint, which demanded a disavowal ef the Department of Justice statement inti? mating that evidence against von Nn ber was piling up. The Department of Justice officials have been worrying over whether or not to issue another statement on the subject, but it is understood they feel they can prive every charge they have made, not o?ily against v.in N'uber, but against Cap tain Boy-Ed? The State Department to-day ?le fended its failure to demand th. re? call of Bey-Ed by the statement that no proof had yet been adduced that he had violated any law.

It will only be in case t?ii-> is proven against Bey-Ed, the State De pertmOBt savs, that it could take cog nisaace ef the New York trial.
