BOMB CONSPIRATORS' TRIAL FOLLOWED BY
 THE GOVERNMENT
Secret Service Works Quietly But Vigorously to Apprehend Other Participants in Muni-
 tiOns Plot

New York, October 29.-Beyond assert ing that the government was working quietly to trace others implicated in the alleged conspiracy to destroy ships laden with war munitions for the allies, federal authorities said today there had been no actual developments in the cases of the five men already arrested
 The cases of Robert Ray, who confessed to the conspiracy after saying he was a German army lieutenant sent to this country to blow up ships, and Walter L. Scholz, his brother-in-law, together with the cases of three other men named as having promoted the plots, probably will go before the federal grand jury the last of next week.
 The subordinates of William J. Flynn, chief of the secret service, are still busy Investigating various threads of the story told by Fay. The lines of inquiry include questioning persons who sold explosive materials to Fay and locating persons with whom he had dealings prior to his arrest last Sunday with view of learn- ing from whom he obtained financial aid. It was stated that the government was in possession of evidence that Fay obtained money from private sources in Germany.
