spiracy To Be Submitted
to the Grand Jury.
DIPLOMATS NAMED,
OFFICIAL SAYS
Consular Agents, Bankers and
Women May Be Indicted
S40,000,000 Fund Traced.

The foundation Of the whole i'm
mense structure Of rumors of Teuton
dynamite plots will be barred to the
Federal grand jury this week. Secrets
which Chief Flynn's men have been
keeping for months will be told.
A large amount of the material gath
cred by the Federal agents relates to
arson, malicious destruction of prop
erty and other crimes that are not vio-
lations of Federal statutes, but of the
laws OF the states in which the crimes
were committed. Evidence Of this sort
will be turned over to the state author
tiles by the Federal government for
immediate prosecution in the counties
in which the acts were committed.
President Wilson knows all the es-
sential details of the conspiracy, and
II. Snowdon Marshall. United States
District Attorney. who will submit the
material facts to the grand jurors here,
expects that German and Austrian Dip
lomats, prominent German-A American
and Austro-Hungarian- busl-
ness men and bankers, spies and other
secret agents will be found to be IN
volved in the conspiracy.
DR.. Dumba, who was dismissed from
his post of Austro- Hungarian Ambassa-
dor to this country because o! ms ac-
u titles in trying to tie up factories
making munitions that went to the Al
lies, is described as the brains OF Ihe
countrywide conspiracy.
Fires Traced TO Teuton Agents.
Consul General Won Nuber, the chief
Austro- Hungarian official IN TINS port
is said to have been the director OF the
spies and other agents OF the cehlrai
powers at work IN this country:
Almost all the explosions and hres-
MANY of them disastrous munltlon
factories and fires ana explosions on
munition-carrying ships have been
traced to agents of the central powers.
The fires and explosions on the ships
will be prosecuted by the Federal au-
thorities, while the acts OF violence
against the factories will be presented
10 the grand juries of the counties IN
which they occurred.
Secret Service men, working under
Chief Flynn, and Investigators OF the
Department of Justice, directed by
Chief A. Bruce Bielaski, have un-
earthed evidence to show that S4O,-
100000 was sent to this country Dy
Germany to carry out the work OF the
conspirators.
Franz Rintelen, now prisoner In the
Tower of London and an officer in the
Imperial German Navy, is said to have
been the active financial agent OF the
conspirators.
Rintelen had his office for time On
the ton floor of the Office building ~
William and Cedar streets, the ground
floor of which is occupied by the Trans
atlantic Trust Company. This bank has
been named in the charges OF Dr.
Joseph Goricar, former Austro-Hun-
garian Consul General, as the fiscal
agent Of the Teutonic powers In THIS
country. During the Federal Grand
Jury's inquiry into the plot OF Teuton
agents to foment continuous strife IN
Mexico officials Of this bank were sub
penaed, together with its books, IN an
effort to trace a S30,000.OOO fund SAID
TO have been raised for the purpose
Of keeping up the trouble in Mexico.

The United States authorities are
now considering extraditing Rlntelen.
The Importance of Rintelen to the leu
ton cause was shown recently when the
German War Office offered TO exchange
one or more Fl snch or English officers
for the prisoner in the Tower.

,ular agents, to the number of more
