 Friends of Swoboda. explain the photograph in which he appears in the uniform of a German officer by stating that he spent two years at Heidelberg to perfect himself in Ger man and the picture probably was taken while he was wearing his stu- dents uniform.
 Plans found in Swoboda's office which the police regarded as sus-s picious his friends say, probably were left there by an uncle who is an architect at Vancouver and who re- gently visited him in Paris.
 NT.r Momneja. a banker who en- p1oyed Swoboda in 1912, declared to reporters on the other hand, that Swoboda represented himself as a candidate and said he did not know a. word of German; but some time later he overheard SWoboda. talking German fuently over the teIeph one. When the banker called the attention of his emp1oye to the conflicting state ments he had made, Swoboda ex- p1ained that he had studied at Hei- deIberg. Mommeja became suspici- ous, however, and discharged Swoboda. in 1913.
 Three days ago, M. Mommeja heard that his former enploye had been seen in a Paris cafe in company. with sus- pfcious persons He at once reported the matter to the local police
 According to statements made to newspaper reporters by residents of the suburb of Viroday, where Swoboda lived at one time, the man had long been regarded with suspicion He was very Intimate in the AustrfanAGernan colony and spent much of his time with an Austrian named Paddock.

Upon being arrested he explained that he was an American and pleaded ignorance
 Upon the production of satisfactory papers he was allowed to go. This in cident, however according to the re- cita1s of the people of Virof1ay, made 3 strong impression upon Swoboda's neighbors and they decided to watch him. One night he. was seen to go to the house of a man named Prusst, a native of Vienna. Shortly after the two men emerged and made their way cautie usly in the direction of the local defense works.

DENY FPS ENGINES
 NEEDED OVERHAULING

Washington, April 2-Five of the navy departments most expert divers, equipped with special diving appara- tus, were on their way today to San Francisco bound for Honolulu where they will assist in the work of raising the sunken submarine F-4. They are expected to reach San Francisco Mon day night and the trip to Honolulu will be made on the cruiser Maryland.
 Secretary Daniels declares the divers are sure they can work on the ocean bed. at depth of 300 feet or more but he admits there is great risk in diving operations at that depth. Replying to criticisms to the effect that the en- zines of submarine F-4 were of poor design and that her batteries needed overhauling, the secretary asserted that theer was nothing within the de- partnents Knowledge to warrant any doubt as to their condition.
 Advices to the department today from Rear Admiral Moore at Honolulu in charge of the work of raising the submarine, said that efforts to that end were being continued, pending the arrival of the divers.
