 At Rotterdam the ship was again searched. The messengers were re- ported to have eluded the British con- sul, landed at Rotterdam carrying plans of the forts and to have pro- ceeded to Berlin.
 The names or the alleged messen- gers, the steamer upon which they are said to have sailed, the date Of it's departure from New York and arrival at Rotterdam were in the possession of the Secret Service The investiga- tion was conducted to find out what plans were carried to Berlin and how they were obta ned.
 London's application for an Ameri- can passport was made. it was said, after the departure of this vessel from New York. The man known as Lynar remained in New York after the al- legged messengers sailed secretly from this port Norbert Fuller, at one time London's chauffeur, dresses inlivery so like the uniform of the National Guard that he was arrested last July at the request of a National Guardsman. 1t is sad that Fuller set at rest report that the chauffeur. dressed as Unit ed States soldier, had obtained admis- sion to forts about New York harbor and ad made secret plans of them.

A new chemical, made from pine oil and other products. which has just been compounded by the United States Health Service is more valuable than caroolic acid and costs less than one tenth as much, according 10 a bulletin received by Dr. c. w. Garrison. state health officer at his office in the capi- tel. According to the bulletin the new product has four times the strength of carbolic acid, will not soil fabrics or corrode metal The formu- la will be sent to all druggists and drug manufacturers soon, the bulletin said. and the product probably will be on sale within a few weeks.
