SMITH ATTACKS
DR. MUNSTERBERG
Gives His Side of Case in
Berlin Imbroglio,
QUOTES AMBASSADOR HILL.
Says Munsterberg Interfered and
Threatened to Cable President Taft.
First Full Statement of the Matter
Made on Professor Smith's Arrival In
America Revealing Lights on Di
plomacy. Professor Charles Alphonso Smith of
tho University of Virginia arrived re
ccntly In Baltimore from Berlin and
gave a statement concerning the con
trovcrsy over Mrs. Smith's failure to
attend the Schlepponeour, or Imperial
court reception, In Berlin on Jun. 18
last. Mr. Smith Is Kdgar Allan Toe
professor of English In the University
of Virginia and went to Berlin as
Roosevelt exchange professor at the
University of Berlin, while Dr. Hugo
Munsterberg- went to Berlin as Har
vard exchange professor.
This Is Professor Smith's statement:
"The facts in the case are briefly as
follows: When I, as Roosevelt pro
fessor, flrst called upon Professor Mun
stcrberg In tho Palast hotel, In Berlin,
In October last he told mo that I, be
ing an American citizen, would be pre
sented at the Schleppencour, while ho,
being a German citizen, would not
have this privilege. A little later In
hla inaugural address he again empha
sized his German citizenship, making
it ono of the reasons why he was ap
pointed exchange professor.
Hill's Promise to Professor Smith.
"The Schleppencour, it may be said,
Is a very formal court function held
in January, at which the invited guests
who are not Germans are presented to
their majesties through the ambassa
dors of their respective countries.
About three weeks before this func
tion I called on Ambassador Hill to
learn whether it was his Intention to
present mo at the Schleppencour. He
replied: 'Certainly! Your position as
Roosevelt professor entitles you to pres
entation. I should have informed you
sooner, but took It for granted that
you know. Make whatever prepara
tions are necessary, and I shall notify
you as to the preliminary visits to be
made.'
"On Jan. 1J, when all preparations
had been made, Mr. Hill telephoned,
saying that a change had just been
made in the regulation governing the
presentations at tho Schleppencour
and that his first secretary would call
at once and explain. The iirst secre
tary declared that the new court rul
ing excluded such Americans as had
already been presented to their majes
ties and that, inasmuch us I had had
this honor at my inaugural address of
Nov. 10, I would not be invited to the
Schleppencour, but would be invited
to the court functions that the Schlep
pencour inaugurated.
Charges It All to Munsterberg.
"He added that the now regulation
was made necessary by the crowding
at the Schleppencour. He did not men
tion Professor Munsterberg's name
except when 1 asked how many be
sides myself would be excluded by
the new ruling. He mentioned four.
among them I'rofessor Munsterberg.
This was a surprise since Professor
Munsterberg had told me more than
once that he was barred by his Ger
man citizenship.
"On Jun. -1, however, I called by ap
pointment on Ambassador Hill nnd
told him that since I had seen In tho
list of those present at tho Schleppen
cour the names of persons who I had
been assured would bo excluded by tho
mow ruling I desired more light on
this ruling. After expressing admira
tion for my bearing under trying cir
cumstances Mr. Hill said, 'Profes
sor Smith, do you wish to know tho
whole truth in this matter?' I answer
ed that I had come for exactly this
purpose.
" 'Well,' he replied, 'the solo cause of
tho trouble has been Dr. Munsterberg.
As soon us tho new ruling -was an
nounced I went to the proper court of
ficials, who assured me that the Roose
Tclt professor and his wife -would bo
-welcomed at tho Schleppencour. Just
about this time, however, Professor
Munsterberg called nt the embassy
and, learning that you were to bo pre
sented, sprang up In great excitement,
saying: "It shall not bol It shall not
be! I will cable to President Taft!" '
Says There Was Secret Enmity.
"What precise form tho cablegram
would have taken wo shall probably
never know, for Mr. Hill, being a
man of peace, not only yielded nt oneo
to every demand made, but sent n
messenger to quoto mo a ruling that
did not touch tho real Issue and to
assure mo also that the Schleppencour
after all was a very small affair.
"Professor Muusterberg's action
needs no comment. Ever since our
Inaugural addresses I had felt that,
while professing publicly the warmest
friendship for me, he was omitting no
opportunity to strlko In tho dark.
"That Mr. Hill acted from a real
desire to promote peace I do not nues
Hnn lmf T nm n.iiinlli, anm l.nt
action was unwise ' unjust and charac-i
. . . .
tcrized by n timidity far from repre-
ntntlvelv Amarlnon "
INTHERAJAH'S
SERVICE
By EDWIN D. TROUSDALE
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation, 1911.
This story was told me by an Eng
llshmnn who had grown old In the
civil service in India. Wo were sitting
In tho smoking room of n liner between
Southampton and New York:
The people of India are the most
sensitive as well us tho most merciless
people of tho world. An Indian will
treat one he wishes to destroy with
the most flattering attention while he
is planning to kill him. He always
strikes In the dark that Is. when he
kills with steel. But It is with poison
that Indians do their most artistic mur
derous work. They have studied the
science of poison for ages. They have
poison rings, poison perfumes, poison
flowers. But tho strangest of nil is a
poison human being. They will feed a
person on a certain poison till he has
absorbed so much of it that his very
breath Is noxious to one unused to
what tho poison person Is saturated
with.
I had a narrow escape from death
when I was In India. It was when I
rirst went out there as a youngster nnd
had no Idea of the secret dangers to
be incurred. That which an Indian Is
most jealous of Is a woman. Any Eu
ropean who attempts the slightest fa
miliarity with one of them is In lm.
minent danger of his life. If they
would give a fellow a chance It
wouldn't be quite so terrible, but they
won't He is either murdered In the
dark or poisoned.
I was just twenty years old when I
landed In Calcutta to take position in
a British house dealing in opium and
the goods of the country. Later I wa?
sent Into the interior to buy curios,
two of us being sent together fop
greater safety. Bob Britton, not much
older than myself, was my companion.
In one of the towns wo heard of a
rajah whoso brother or some other
relative had died childless, and the
rajah had Inherited his effects. Not
caring to keep duplicates, he had offer
ed to sell many articles. Bob and I
called on him, and ho exhibited his
wares, treating us at the same timo
royally. While we wero bargaining
ho feasted us in the room occupied by
tho women, which was a great honor.
Unfortunately for Bob and me we
drank too much wine.
Being permitted to roam where we
pleased, wo devoted ourselves each to
a pretty Indian girl. Presently I miss
ed Bob. Ho and tho girl ho was with
had strolled away into a sort of in
closed summer garden. 1 invited my
companion to go off in the same way.
but she gave mo n look that was all
the warning I needed. I contented my
self with remaining with tho others
Bob and' the girl bo was with re
mained away from tho rest of us for
some time. When he returned he ap
peared to be quite proud of himself,
though the girl's faco wore a fright
ened look. As soon as wo were aloni:
he told me that he had taken tho
sweetest kiss ho had ever tasted. 1
asked him if ho was sure ho was un
observed, und ho said ho saw no one
about, but whllo his lips touched the
girl's she had uttered a suppressed
scream. It was immediately after this
that the two returned.
When we rejoined the rajah he ex
pressed a hope that wo had enjoyed
ourselves. He was very effusive in
his offers of hospitality and friendship
no nsked us how wo were pleased with
tlie ladles, and when we expressed
ourselves delighted ho said that we
had not seen tho most beautiful. lie
clapped his hands, a servant appeared,
ho gave an order in a tongue we did
not understand, the servant withdrew
and in a few minutes our host led us
into another room where were assem
bled several of the handsomest Indian
women I have ever seen. Tho rajah
introduced us, then left us, saying
that ho would tako a nap.
One of the women, apparently with
tho consent of the others, took Bob un
der her especial care, another took
me, and it wasn't long before, under
pretense of showing us some of the
rajah's most valuable curios, they led
us into a suit of rooms filled with
enough rare articles to stock a muse
urn. Bob and I soon got into separate
rooms. My companion and I seated
ourselves on a divan nnd were chat
ting about the curios when I noticed
that she had been using some strange
perfume. Sho gradually drew nearer
to me, and I noticed a deathly sick
ness coming over me. An instinct of
eelf preservation, I suppose, led me to
get up from the divan. My next idea
was to find Bob. I staggered Into an
other room. There was Bob with his
lips glued to those of the girl he was
with. Seeing me, she unwound her
arms from about him, and he fell to
tho floor. I went to him. bent over
him und knew that ho was dead.
There was a door near by opening
into a garden. 1 managed to get to it
nnd passed out. Tho fresh air revived
me, nnd, regaining the strength of my
legs, I ran like a deer anywhere to get
away from the horrible death I had
barely escaped.
I returned to Calcutta and told my
story. Nothing could be done In the
matter; it is not the policy of the Brit
ish government to punish Indians who
take revenge on Europeans for such
offenses. Brltton's sudden death re
ceived no official notice whatever. I
was considered to have made a lucky
escape.
There has never been any doubt In
my mind that the two girls who affect
