Recent Disapproval of Choice •:!•%*; y, \u25a0\u25a0;': of President Public Opinion in America r; Cabled to German B^ jc- : Yon Sternburg Incident Closed and Tower's r^Successor WiU Be Well Received BERLIN, March 29.— Emperor William, having been fully advised as to the attitude of President Ro .uvelt and the feeling of the American public in regard to the alleged refusal of his majesty to receive David Jayne Hill as ambassador to Germany in succes sion to Charlemagne Tower, has re r called all the expressions of disap proval he recently sent to President Roosevelt and would be pleased to re ceive Dr. Hill as ambassador. The emperor has caused this view to be -communicated to "• President Roosevelt. The German foreign office has sent to the Associated Press the following offi cial declaration on the subject: "The notices which have appeared hitherto In the foreign. press In regard to the ° Hill' , affair have originated in the erroneous impression that it was intended in -Berlin, to .recall the ap : proval given here last autumn to Mr. Hill's "appointment. 1 This" ; has never been thought of. It Is true that doubts subsequently arose as- to whether Mr. Hill woiild feel himself comfortable in the pout < of . American ambassador to' Berlin,- but 'these doubts have- been re moved, so that nothing* stands in the way : of; Mr . . Hill's nomination to thfe Be rJ in'; embassy and he will be welcome in Berlin now, as he would have been J>efore, or as any other" unobjectionable representative 'would be who should be' named by Roosevelt. It is stated 4n?phatically that; throughout I the whole incident the ambassador, Mr. Tower, Has not swerved for one instant from the straight line' of absolutely loyal and honorable* conduct both to-, ward his own government and the im perial German government." SPEEDILY SETTLED- Baron/:von Sternburg, the German ambassador at Washington, has during tbe * last \u25a04S hours been in \u25a0• the closest touih- with the foreign office snd Las cabled fully concerning that matter. "He. described the need of a • speedy arrangement •of the affair and /president Uoosevelt's ' difficulties in meeting the "emperor's inclination, and, ' f iirtnermore, "the .unpleasajit effect tiie.'wrhple controversy was having .upon American public opinlo.n. ' Tb«* German foreign office since yes- ( crday morning has sent a number of lengthy- dispatches to the emperor at Venice, through Baron Jcnisch, the representative of the foreign office, •who is 1 with the emperor. As 'soon* as a definite statement of the emperor's wishes was received by the secretary for foreign affairs, Herr yon Schoen. the secretary, and Ambas •ador Tower had a long conference at the foreign office at which the entire subject was gone over. At the conclu sion of the conference Secretary yon Echocn cabled the foregoing statement to the German ambassador at Wash ington and complete additional expla nations. Ambassador Tower also ca bled to the state department the fullest details of all. that had been done. INCIDENT TO BE CLOSED The aim of the German office is to close the incident in a manner satis factory to the president and to the people of the v United States. At first the foreign office, which is sensitive on any question relating to wie em peror, was inclined 'to believe that a general denial of the statement that the emp«ror had declined to receive Dr. Hill as American ambassador might quirt the situation, pending a leisurely settlement. But it was evident* from Baron yon Sternburg's " dispatches on Friday and Saturday that' publicfopln- \ ion, as* well "as the American govern ment, required-some adequate and 'defi nite solution,* and it was announced yesterday tha£ the . emperor would de lay the dep^rturc of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern° from Venice^ until Mon day, presumably to afford time for the disposition of this matter. ; . It is'certain that if Dr. ; I 111 I comes to Berlin a* the American ambassador, h© will b©= most cordially welcomed and given every attention by the em peror* and the German government.

Austin, Holds Damaging Evidence -; f Unauthorized Use of Reuben II; Lloyd's Name Is Seemingly Established Widow's Financial Schemes Have the Earmarks of Those of Cassie Chadwick Important discoveries made yester day in the investigation; of the un authorized use of the name of Reuben H. Lloyd, the ' prominent attorney, in connection with mythical mining deals provided the connecting, links in the chain of evidence which has been gath ered within the last week, and the f en tire matter is now ready for the atten tion of the grand jury. The* investiga tion has been pushed \u25a0by Attorney } E. B.; Young and directed against Mrs. Fannie M. Austin, a mysterious widow residing at the Cornelia hotel apartments, who was accused * by Claude Nasburg of having fleeced his family out of large- sums of money through a gigantic mining deal pos sessing the earmarks of tiie Mrs. Chadwick transactions. . The ' use of the lawyer's name, it iis alleged, was a part of the whole scheme, the letter with his forged sig nature being" used to show the inti macy existing between Mrs. Austin and Lloyd. Xasburg" asserted that,, after putting his: money, into the .wonderful scheme of pooling the Comstocks and not receiving, any returns, he wrote inquiring . letters to Mrs. : Austin ..who, he ; : said, /was^engineering the ; deal, and received fin -return ,aP letter^purporting to • be from ' Lloyd to Mjs. ; Austin. Along [with tias letter, "he i said, " was', an -Jexf^ planatory note from » Mrs. Austin. . His fears; instead of being /quieted, were aroused to a greater 'extent, the letter on the face . if ; it being;- a- palpable fraud, and -prior 'to-" returning /the Lloyd letter to Mrs. 'Austin : he photo graphed it. .- [i lIOI,DS PROOF OF FRAUD "When I ''discovered,",' said he, "that Mrs. Austin d id hot know Lloyd or, any of ; the . other big, people, I never for a moment Imagined that she "would deny having sent } me. the Lloyd 'letter. When she did, the. only \u25a0 proof,^ besides 'that of ; the photographs .1 took' of the let ter, was an explanatory note" which ac companied the forgery. /I- telegraphed^ to my business partner in;Marshneld, Ore., to look ' through my desk and re ceived in reply a . telegram - stating that It had i.b'ee'n \u25a0 found ; among. some' old "papers In the desk. ' This note, in; the handwriting -of Mrs. Austin, together with the photograph of the forgery, I considered^ sufficient v proof ' to have the matter laid before the grand' jury. The explanatory ; note,', together/ with, affi davits from persons to_, whom I showed the forged letter, --will be here ] next Tuesday morning." ., / -' . Since the -.accusations against Mrs. Austin .various efforts have , been made by 'detectives to uncover, her. past rec ord. Harry Nasburg, the cripple whom she is accused of having defrauded, ad-^ mitted that he /knew "nothing of her life before she, met" him four years ago.
