New York, Feb. 27.--Federal au-
thorities are investigating a statement
made by counsel for Richard F. Steg-
Ter, the German naval reservist ar
rested in this city Wednesday night.
To the effect that Captain BoyEd,
naval attache to the German embassy
in Washington, furnished an Ameri
can passport to Carl Hans Lody, the
German spy who was put TO death in
the tower of London in November.
In his general denial of Stegler
statements involving him Captain
Boy-Ed referred to his allegation as
trash
Charles Ill. Griffiths, former assist
ant United States attorney, who was
assigned by United States Commits
sioner Houghton to defend StegleT
linked the names of the German naval
attache and Lody in a statement Civ
eli out after a conference with Steg
Ter in the Tombs.
Boyd Planned the Plot.
"Stegler told me" Mr. Griffiths
said that on one occasion, while he
was on his way TO keep an appoint
ment with Captain Boy-Ed, a DR.
Fuehr told him that Captain BoyEc
carried through the scheme that made
ii possible to obtain an American
passport for Lody, and that Boy-Es
sent Lody to England where he was
executed
Mr. Grif1ths said that all of Steg
ler's statements were corroborated b,
Mrs Stegler, the young Georgia WON
an at whose suggestion Stegler aban
doned his alleged plan to go abroad
According to Mr.. Griffiths, Steglel
was to have sailed for England, Il
wor. for the German government IL
obtaining information as to th'
whereabouts of an English feet o
dreadnoughts supposed to be in ST
Georges channel. He was to hay,

decided not to go a young German
American, whom he knew by sigh
but not by name, was assigned to th'
perilous task and sailed on the steam

Opposition by Combine.

New York. Oct 1a-Because he was
introduced in vaudeville by an indepen-
dent booking agent. Harry Lauder was
unable to get into vaudeville theaters

formances in halls and armories, ac-
cording to evidence given in the
vaudeville trust damage suit going on
before Judge Learned Hand and a jury
in the United District Court today.
The witness. William Morris, one or
the pioneers of vaudeville, in this
country. introduced Lauder over here.
He said he managed to get the use of
the Mormon Temple for Lauder in Salt
Lake City. but the trust, in order to
choke him off. persuaded the Mormon
fathers that LADDERS act was immoral
because there was a woman impersona-
tor in IL.

the trust corrorborated the allegations
Of the plaintiff. Clifford Fischer. an
independent booking agent. who declares
that he was driven out OF the business
of booking foreign acts through the

At the afternoon session Bats resumed
his detailed argument of the alleged Bos-

might De obtained by the New Haven
