Kaeed y Grave Charges aad Domi'i ; Want to Make Statement lentil They Are Presented Crown i Prince Right. K Anaeronsen,' Holland, Dec. 4 (By the Associated Press.) "I am a private Citizen and while in Holland will not make any statement whatever for pub- ; Jlcation." This was the former emper or's message to The Associated Press correspondent when he called at Count Von Bentinck'e castle again today. The German general acting as or derly, forerly governor of Metz, brought the message direct from Wil liam Hohensollern who last evening was inclined to make a public declara tion but today changed his mind. The message continued: "Tou must fully realize my position. I am threatened on all sides with crim inal charges which if brought, I must - face. Therefore I must reserve any .statement until charges are actually brought. "Also I owed a certain loyalty to the ,present German government and can . not make a declaration which might compromise others." The correspondent requested the leneril to ask the former emperor Whether he would confirm the crown prince's assertion regarding the Krueg er telegram and the general brought ;back the answer: "The crown prince is absolutely cor- srect in his facts. " The telegram, already written, was ilaid before me for signature. : "I refused to sign it for three days, fcut finally Sid so under pressure of the German diplomats and my politi cal advisers who advanced many reasons for sending the dispatch. Of course, having signed it, I take full responsibility." ' The former emperor and empress are leading a very quiet life. Their table " is of the simplest: in fact, they have submitted to regulations requiring - them to be rationed for bread and but ter and other edibles just as the ordi nary country folk. Occassionally they walk in the surrounding woods, but re jcent days have been so wet thaf it 'has been almost impossible for them to go out, except for a carriage drive. 'ENJOIN BURLESON FROM 1 TALKING OVER CABLES 'Commercial Cable Company Seeks to Prevent His Control o-f Its Ocean Lines. New York, Dec. 4. Complaint in.an injunction suit against Postmaster General Burleson was filed by the Com mercial Cable Co. here today seeking to prevent the postmaster general from assuming control of the company's ma rine cable system.

Ward would refuse ap pointment as director of the combined Western Union Commercial Cable ser vice authorized today" by the postmast er general The main basis of the bill of com plaint is that after the armistice was signed the war' power n longer oper ated except to wind up matters al ready in the hands of the government (prior, to its signing. To show that the armistice really put an end to the war in the meaning of the joint resolution of congress taking over the two sys ' terns, the following extract of the pres ident's address on November 11 is quoted: "The war thus comes to an end for, having accepted those terms of armis tice it will be impossible for tha 'Ger man command to renew it." iKINSTON SCHOOL TAX SUIT REVERSED BY SUPRE5IE COURT ; (Special Star Telegram.) ; Raleigh, Dec. 4.

He is Austin Harrison, editor of The Eng lish Review, who is standing on the plank of a league of nations and the abolition of conscription.

RAILROAD OWNERS WANT THEIR ROADS BACK AGAIN Executives of 90 Per Cent of the Rail roads of Conn try Discuss Return of Properties. New York, Dec. 4. -Executives of railroads comprising more than 90 per cent of the mileage of the country, in conference here today adopted a resolution favoring a return of the roads to private ownership and ex pressing the hope that the remaining period of federal control would be sucb a to leave the properties in the high est state of efficiency.

The meeting also voted that "assur ance be- given to the director general of railroads and his associates of . our earnest desire to co-operate with, them in the performance of their important and difficult trust and in adoption of plans for the return of these proper ties to private management and opera tion which plans .shall be just, alike to the public, to the owners of the properties and to the employes engag ed thereon."

A memorial to President Wilson asking this boon, also was put before the house. s- Both documents express the belief that the-Porto RicanB have demonstra ted -their capacity for self-government, a right which always has been denied them. The memorial, written by Cay etano Colly Couchi, prominent in -the affairs of the Island, says in part: "Porto Rican soldiers cheerfully arid bravely left their homes . to fight for democracy,- secure In the belief that when the war was over victory won and peace established, 'Porto Rico would b given the same freedom for which It fought.

The committee is investigating: brewers' activities and German propaganda. Konta said he wrote to Dr.' "Dern- burg on the subject and that he was inspired by a desire to nelp the kaiser's representative carry out his plans to .get publicity for Germany; to get a newspaper that would be hostile "o prohibition and to earn a commission. "I desirea to aid Dr. Dernburg o get tlie paper in order that he would have an opportunity to lay before the American people " "German propaganda," interrupted Senator Nelson pf Minnesota. "He wanted the paper, not for himself, but for the German ' government 'and he a German agent. Isn't that true?" "He must have been," replied Kon ta. The witness, who stoutly, denied he ever had been disloyal to America also said he bad written in 1915 to Dr. Heinrich F. Albert, then an attache of the German embassy here, and we'll known as a propagandist, regarding an offer of $1,000 to be made to any persons who could prove that -misstatements were made in the German general staff's daily official war an nouncements. Other testimony before the commit tee today was that Count Von Bern storff, the former German ambassador, had visited the offices of the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers In New York, in March. 1915, and that immediately afterward an advertising campaign to prevent the manufacture of munitions in this country for the allies was started.

Konta read a prepared statement to the committee in -which he denied being-disloyal and described his organi zation of the American-Hungarian Loyalty League -under the auspices rof the committee on public information. HAMMERLING TESTIFIES HI ONCE THREW TBOTZKY OUT Washington, Dec. 4. Testifying .srt the senate judiciary committee's inves tigation of brewery and German prop aganda, Louis N. Hammerling, presi dent of the American association of foreign language newspapers, declared today that two years ago he threw Leon Trotaky, now the Russian bolshe vik foreign minister, out of his office, after the latter had threatened his life unless he received a sum of money. Reference to the bolshevik leader was made while Hammerling was vig orously denying charges that he had taken any part in the German propa ganda work. "Trotsky came to my- office often, the witness said, "and Insisted on see ing me. He would see no other per son in the office except me and he al ways wanted me to give him money. I finally took him by the neck and threw him out, and in doing so 1 cut my hand on his rubber collar." In denying charges of furthering j German propaganda, Hammerling said he supported the liberty loans, assisted In fleeting French, Italian and allied loans among foreigners and in aiding the authorities in the operation ofthe selectiveraft. He exhibited a letter from the provost marshal's office com mending him for his activities in that respect. KING NICK THE LATEST. Montenegrin Assembly Bom Him Oat and Chooses Serb Royalty.

The presidential fleet passed quaran tine at 11 o'clock, the Pennsylvania leading and the destroyers deployed on either side and in t?ie wake or the transport. vGunboats in the lower bay fired salvos in salute. As the squadron steamed out to sea a single airplane, traveling only 50 feet above the water could be seen leading the way toward the eastern horizon. Across the waters of the Hudson, just as the George Washington was about to sail there came the roaring cheers of more than 2,000 American sailors returning home on the British transport Lapland. From crowded rigging, from densely packed rails, and from every port hole the home-coming fighting men shouted greetings to the president: and from the decks of the presidential liner and the destroyers guarding her, answering cheers came back. Long before President Wilson's spe cial train arrived from Washington there was unusual .activity about the dock at Hoboken where the transport George Washington was moored. Workmen were busy throughout the night putting on the finishing touches on the liner completing elaborate dec orations of the pier. The usual barred : zone was widely extended and only those armed with special passes were allowed to ap proach 'the streets leading to the dock. Military police kept an all night vigil over the route from, the railroad sta tion to-, the pier, while iiundreds of agents of the service and of the army and navy intelligence services watched the side streets and kep Inquisitive persons on the move. War vessels kept ceaseless patrol of the waters near the transport while at dawn army airplanes circled over the vicinity and maintained a watch from thft air. Perhaps never before have such elab orate plans been mapped out to guard the president. The long pier was gaily decorated with thousands of flags and bunting. A canopy, consisting, of a mass of American flags and emblems of the al lies, extended over the gang plank. Stewards and their assistants work ed well into the night completing their arrangements for' the comfort of the party. Phonographs were installed in the gentlemen's smoking room and the ladies' lounging room, the records, ranging all the way from grand opera selections to popular war songs and Jazz band music. Half a dozen card tables were nailed to the floor of the smoking room while the library was replenished with historical and scien tific books. The gymnasium was refurnished with punching bags, rowing machines "horses," and other athletic equipment. Two brass bands made the 'trip Kensington "Cans" band and the sail ors Great Lake -station band these or ganizations having been selected from a score that offered their services. It was noticed that painting of George and Martha Washington oc cupied the space in the salon rormeny taken up by a large painting of the German emperor. A picturesque military reception was accorded the President, Mrs. Wilson, Secretary of. War Baker, Secretary Lansing, Secretary Tumulty and others who were passengers on the special train which reached Hoboken at 7:30 a. m. s Between the.epur of track on which the train drew up at the entrance to the pier and the North river terminus of the pler,van archway of American flags had been erected. As the presi dent stepped from the train bugles and drums sounded and the army band played the Star Spangled Banner. The army guards and girls of the army transport' service : were drawn up in military formation.'. Accompanied "by General McManus and his staff, the -presidential flatty moved slowly up the archway of flags . and between solid rows of soldiers, who presented arms as the president and Secretary Baker passed. - ." 6 BeU-ans Hot water Sure Relief ELL-AG FO R, J N O G GOT!

To keep your hair lovely and abundant you must, by the proper treatment, keep your scalp healthy and vigorous. Is your hair dull and lifeless? It can be made rich and lustrous.

The president said good-bye to Gen eral McManus and, accompanied by Admiral . Cleaves, went aboard the transport, where he was introduced to Captain' McCauley, the commander of the former North German Lloyd steam ship. Secretary Baker planned to leave the George Washington before it got under way. Secretary Tumulty, how ever, remained on board for a final conference with the president and it had been arranged for a tug boat to take him off at quarantine and bring him back to the city. President and Mrs. Wilson had breakfast alone in the private dining room which is part or their suite. La ter they took hort stroll on the ship's deck and -were applauded by persons assembled on the pier. The president, -in thigh spirits, said he was looking forward to the voy age as a rest indeed the first real rest since he assumed office. He re marked that it might be "an enforced rest for a few days," thus acknowledg ing his reputation for being a very poor sailor.-. The George Washington with its convoy, of war vessels will take the . southern route, going by way of the Azores in order to avoid the colder temperatures which would be encountered on the northern route. An office desk in one room of the president's suite was p41ed high with telegrams and official documents be fore the transport sailed, and indica tions were that the president would plunge into this work even before, the vessel got out to sea.
