-Four Germans Planned to Blow Up
french Ship at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS. Dee. %. - The
arfest last night Of fUnr Germans is
believed by the police to hive frus-
trated a plot. to blow up the French
steamship Rochambeau. The police
conlseated Il box containing - pounds
Of dynamite set by cloekwork to ex-
plodc six and one-half days from last
night. The prisoners. two of whom
are said by the authorities to have con
fessetl, said they understood the Roch-
ambeau was to sail from New York
Saturday Shipping records, however,
show that she left New York the 18th.
and police believe the alleged con
spirators miscalculated the date OF her
departure. The plan, it was said. was
to ship the bomb by express consigned
to the ROchambeau at New York. It
was intended that the vessel would be
blown up after she got to sea.
Worry over the prospective loss Of
innocent lives is believed responsible
for discovery of the plot. One Of
those arrested, Peter Langlaan. when
questioned by detectives who have been
at work on the case for 10 days, Is
said to have told them that while he
was willing TO blow up a French o.
English ship, he was not willing to
cause the death OF persons n3t directly
connected with the vessel
On information given by L2nglq:.n,
the police arrested Frank Helon, Ais
Hans Hellar, and held him on . charge
of preparing explosives for shipment
in violation of federal laws. George
Summers and George Brickman, the for
mer the proprietor of the Faust hotel
were held as accessories and Langlaan
was allowed his freedom.
HelOn admitted, the police say. that
he prepared the bomb and expected to
send it by express last night from the
Faust hotel Summers admitted, the
police say, that he knew Helon was
working upon explosives. but denied
he knew for what purpose he intended
using them, After being confronted
with his alleged conSpirator>, the 20
lice say, Ilelou admitted it was his
intention 10 blow up some French or
English ship, and that if the attempt
against the Rochambeau failed lac cx,
