New York, April 8.?At the request
of the French ambassador, the
activities of Senator Humbert, editor
of Le Journal, of Paris, in this
country will be investigated by Morton
E. l^ewiB. state attorney general.
The inquiry to be begun in NewYork
next week, will be conducted
in connection with the French gov- ernment's
prosecution of Senator I
Humbert on a charge of having had a
transactions with Germany. 2
| Governor Whitman signed an or- I
der authorizing Alfred L. Becker, I
I deputy attorney general, to examine
fitnesses. Mr. Becker conducted a
the recent inquiry into the operations t
of Bolo Pasha in America. Furing i
that investigation the name of Sena- c
tor Humbert was frequently men- f
tioned, and the evidence obtained t
here resulted. when presente<l at t
Bolo Pasha's trial, in Paris, not on- i
ly in Levantine's conviction and sentence
to death, but led to the arrest >
of Senator Humbert and two of his c
associates. Pierre Lenoir and Wil- f
liam de Soucbes, who are accused c
by France of having communicated <
! directly with German agents. i
i I The examination of witnesses will 5
? I take place in private, but it is ex- f
pected that disclosures will be made
public from time to time. The evi- 1
^ dence will be turned over to the <
French ambassador.
The inquiry will include particu- 1
larly an examination of Scnotorli
Humbert's deposits of money -with \
J. P. Morgan and company, as disclosed
during the Bolo Pasha pro- t
oeedings; and Senator Humbert's (
n dealings with the Bethlehem Steel e
e company, while he was in America, t
in September of 1914, as a purchas- t
n ing agent of war supplies for the t
.8 French government. | <
y The charge against Senator Hum-ii
e bert and Lenoir and de Souches is 1
I- that they assisted in a widespread 1
plot for newspaper propaganda, 1
it throughout neutral countries, on be-li
'i half of Germany. It is alleged thevl
e accepted German money for use in {
r- purchasing a controlling interest in
I- Le Journal, in return for which they
were expected to circulate "dei
featist" sentiments through that
e newspaper. The purchase money,
according to the prosecution in
France, was obtained by Rolo Pasha
t- from Count von Rernstorff, when the
if latter was German ambassador here,
n upon authorization of the German! .
e foreign ofTiee. It is in this connec-,
5- tion that Senator Humbert's depoH- '
ir its in America will be investigated. '
