Hardly had tne news been received
when von Papen started on a fly-by

for him observed hiro in Chicago.
According to one of th* watchers he

to hav? expected him to gel. Into Mex?
ico, wh*r* he has a right to go if the
Carranx* government Is willing to
grant him asylum. Von Papen was
accredited to Mexico during the
Huerto regime, and it is aasumed his
status has not changed.
Th* allied governments, it is said,
have long been agreed on safe conduct
for von Papen and Boy-Fd. as both inci
in active aervlce in Germany, with all
their knowledge of affairs here, would
be of less menace to this country and
?bo tilled cause than they would be in
Mexico.
That Ewald Hecker, an army officer
now associated with the German Bed
Cross office in this city, la slated to
succeed von Papen is now beyond the
realm of conjecture Hecker, who is
? aid to bt an able busln?'Ss man, was
commissioner of Samoa when it was
captured by the British forces. He
was permitted to remain on the island
on the promise that he would not take
up arms against th? Allies and would

Von Bernstorff Against
Successors for Attaches
Washington. Dec. 16.- -It la regarded
i as doubtful whether the successors of,
j Captains Boy-Ld and von Papen, with-,
: drawn German naval and military at

William until the end of the war.
Count von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, is understood to believe
that should successors be appointed
I trey would Immediately become the
subject of criticism, to tnelr detriment
ami to the Impairment, perhaps, of the
. genera! situation. At any event sue
cessors would not be named until the
withdrawn attach?s reached Germany.

Mr. Salm-in in president of th* Gen
eral Big] rt par.>, wh;>:h envoy?)
Johnson tfttr ht liad lost Ills place
with th* Union Company,
Mr. Johnson began bis 'es'imor.y by
declining to si,rn a waiver of lint ?
"? am here to tell all I know and, ail
tb* truth," he saiii. ''I do not w?
sign stray anything that takes away
Sa* rights I may h*v* in thin matter."
Mr. Johnson then related in detail
his story of hip connection with Cam
mlssioner Wood and tho Ceatrt Btrttl
loop signal contract. He to'.d of how
hit. company had put tr, a kid for thi*
VOti la the aumraer of ..?14. and hoar.
as he recollected it, the bids woro hold
up for som* time. (~o-nmissior,er Wtt?,
he went on to say. called him up on
the teli-phone at th-t time and later
asked him about the Union system and
a great many other questions in the
office of the commission.
Shortly after that, Mr. Johnson said,
Woo.I arranged ovar the telephone that
he should meet him at the office in
Exchange Place.
"I don't remember lust what time of
da-,- it was," he salii, "but it was an
office that was apparently used to store
furniture. There was a desk In It.
When I Kot there * young m*n was
with Mr. Wood. I don't know who he
was, hut Mr. Wood asked this ;, oung
msn to step out a few minute* while
he used the office, which he did. Then
V/e talked further." He than related
how Wood had asked about the f6,00?
"commission."
Th*~?ffi*n*ss seid h* thought th? r.sm*
on th* door was Havemeyer -_ Wood,
but he uns-.'", sure. After the meeting
there with Wood, he said, they walked to
tho commission1! office in 'ne Tribune
Building, on the way Wood asking til
aorta of questions about ?ignal ap?
pliance*. Ife ?aid Wood exhibited no
technical knowledge of the subject, ?nd
admitted thst aome of the information
Wood sought would be valuable to other
signal companies.
"'Had there been any further dlerus
sion between you and Mr. Wood on the
subject of a commission to be paid
to him for influencing the contract?"
Mr. Lewis asked.
"Well. I told Mr. Wood, as I said,
that I had no authority to answer a
question of tbat kind, and I think either
that game evening, or the next night,
?t the latest, I telephoned to Colonel
Prout at h'.s club in Pittsburgh giving
him the nrcumntarires of this conversa?
tion with Mr. Wood."
"? asked Colonel Pro-tit," Mr. John?
son went on, "what we should do about
it or what, w* could do *bout it. Colonel
l'rout'a reply, as I remember it, was
about like this: 'You can't quarrel with
Wood; you must not quarrel with
Wood: you must not antagonne; but 1
can't let |ou not* what we are going
to do on that. We will have to tow
him along for the tim* being." Shortly
after that I went to Swissval? in the
ordinary course of my business. I
want into see Colontl Prout. In his of
i'ce ?rttfa him was Mr. rptesrraff, who
had been eur vice-pre?iJeni in charge of
finances for some months. During the
ronver??t!on the question came up aa
tu what disposition would bo made of
this matter relating to Mr. Wood's
situation."
"This was just a few days subsequent
to your conversation or. the telephone
with ("olonel Prout?" he was asked.
"Yes, as nearly as I can fix It This
question came up and Colonel Prout
said he did not know how a matter of
that kind could be handled, and. aa I re?
call it, ask'-d Mr. T'ptegrarf how lie
would sug-gest handling a matter of that
kind. Mr. I'ptegrafT apparently did not
know how he would handle It. I stated

"The suggestion was made by Mr

In Jersey.

tha Du Pont Power Company arreated
to-day John Szodoba, alias Dr. Jacob
Swoboda, alias Louis Hartman, a former
employ? of the powder company, who,
according to the detecttvas and Sulein
officials, has recently been acting in a
suspicious manner and who, they be?
lieve, knows much about the recent ex
plosions at the Da Pent plant's. Stodo
na is charged'with etaahng _oods val?
ued at about $3, but Magistrate Smith,
who held the prisoner .n $1,000 bail
for further hearing, declared to-night
that ha considered the arrest a very
important one.
Szodoba was taken into custody at a
boarding house at Penn Grove, where
on? of Du Pont's largest plants Is situ?
ated. In his room, the officials say,
thoy found a large quantity of gun cot?
ton, nitroglycerine, dynamite and black
powder of ti.e rlnest quality. Th? ex?

Smith, nad been left in his room by
fallow boarders. Letters written In

terday by a person familiar with their

that the l?emian Embassy m Washing
'on "puf one over" on the United
- gortramtal several month' ago
in its effort to transmit inside informa?
tion to B*rlin.
These little creatures, bred of a fer?
tile TtQtoni< miad, came into existence
about four month? ago, but were put;
out of tho troy promptly by the Moot
PopartmtOt trhot they had attained the '
tender age of three weeks. They did
not ?.ee.-n to be healthy children, and
H was decided that if the government
failed t'j "operate" they might di* a ;
natural death.
Littl* Emily vaa th* Ant child of,
th* umbassy to ?tart for B*riin on a
SOttO. service mission. Sh* waa fired

Allowed to Bond Coda
Th? ambassador complained that he
?u unabl* to communicate with his
government iu adequate fashion and.
asked to be pnrmitttd to use code. Per?
mission was granted on condition that
ho Ale with the government copies of j
hit code messages
All went wen for thre* weeks, and
th* authorities in Washington a as tuned
that there had beer, no change in th?
cod?, but one day a United Sta*.e3 offi?
cial who examined som. of the roee
eege? declared that the cod.. had been
?Ttntthod. He checked .? on a dozen
txeeaagea, and four. ! that they were not
exactly according to Hoy!**.
A meaaag? about "Little Emily" waa
the first on? that attract*, attention.
Fhe was not at all well, and th* in?

The massag* rttd: "Littl* Emily

took a turn for th* better, and thla
message went acrosa: "Littl* Emily ia
much better."
Frit*, and Augusta meanwhile had all
sorts of trouble and their respective
temperatures wer* said to have fluctu?
ated with surprising irregularity dur?
ing an awful siege of malaria or acar

N'elther littl* Fritz nor little Augusta
had any particular horn*, sometimes
they were northwest and aoiaotimea .
they were northeaat. Little- Em?ly al- |
??ays was northeast during her lllneaa.
Suddenly th* oldest of th* triplets
