At the Iris.

1t is rarely that motion picture
so eXquisitely artistic a performance
as that of Mary Pickford in Madame
Butterfly" the magnificent adaptation
of John Luther Longs classic, which
has already become familiar through
the medium of opera, novel and play.
All the poetic beauty of this sad tale
has been preserved and enhanced in
the film production which is the Para
mount picture at the Iris. For pure
pathos and dramatic interest Ma
dame Butterfly" which was directed
by Sidney Olcott, has few equals in
the whole realm of fiction and of the
stage. With the splendid settings
which have been produced as the
background of Miss Pickfords unex-
celled art, the DECENTRALIZATION ranks
as one of the foremost productions.
The singing of Miss Van Hoffman is
exceptionally good.

Teutons With Important
Documents
BY Associated Press

New York. Dec. 1S.-Detectives fol-
destroy ships bearing ammunition to
the allies to-day arrested Frederick
Schleindl, a clerk in the National City
Bank, who they charge with larceny of
documents, cablegrams and messages
which, it is alleged. he turned over to
representatives of the German gov
ernment.
These documents. the detectives say,
gave information as to which ships
bore munitions across the seas.
Schleindl is also alleged to have given
information to the German repre-
sentatives as to what firms were manu-
featuring war supplies in this country
and also the amounts of money placed
in certain banks to the credit of the
allies. Schleindl was taken to police
headquarters for further examination.
Plotted to Blow Up Canal
Schleindl, detectives said, confessed
to having obtained information re-
Sarding shipments of munitions and
other matters. saying that he did this
at the direction of Paul Koenig, head
of the bureau of investigation of the
Hamburg Line, who was ar
rested yesterday on the charge of plot
ting to destroy the Welland canal. De-
tectives said they found in Schleindrs
pockets a telegram relating to a ship
ment of 100000 rifles to the allies.
The message was from the Banque
Beige Pour Lentrangere to a New
York bank.
Koenig Linked Up
Schleindl told of meeting Koenig,
who, he said. used an alias, last May,
according to detectives, and of having
kept in touch with the German consul
here since the opening of the war. The
prisoner who said he was a German
reservist, declared that when he met
koenig at an uptown hotel arrange
ments were made for him to obtain
cablegrams and other documents at
the National City Bank. For this
work, Schleindl told the police, he has
been receiving about $25 a week
Police claim to-day that they found
among Koenigs effects papers indi-
eating that he had relations with

The arrests of Schleindl, Koenig and
Richard f. Leynbecker, a New York
antique dealer. were directly due to a
confession made several weeks ago by
George Fuchs. of New York, a relative
of Koenig.
