Captains Association VIII Make Henry
President Tonight.

Unanimously nominated for the pres
idency Of the Police Captains Associa-
ton at the last meeting Of the organi-
cation, il is certain that Dominick
Henry, the captain who has the repu-
tation of reforming policemen given up
as hopeless drunkards by commission
ers, will be elected at the annual meet
ing, to be held tonight at Terrace
Garden.
Henry is we'll known in the depart
ment as a foe of the rum demon. A
week ago, after a lecture TO the men
attached to the West 135th Street sta
ton, which he commands, the entire
squad got aboard the water wagon.
The other captains who, like Henry,
were unanimously nominated and are
certain Of election are Thomas T..
n aud, first ce-president; John F.
O'Connor, second vice-president; Henry
W. Burfend, treasurer; George L. Wal
den, secretary; Jacob Brown, sergeant
alarms, and Bernard J. Hayes, George

WUNITION PLOT
CHIEF TRAILED
Arrest Deferred by U. S.-North
German Line Agents May
Face Case Like BuenZ'S.

Although the United States Attor-
ney for the Southern District of New
York has been non-committal on the
prospects of going further into Ger
man activities in the procuring OF
American clearance papers by the filing
Of false manifests. it was said yester-
day that action might be taken against
agents of the North German Lloyd
Line who we're connected with the
clearance of the chartered steamship
Marina Quesada.
An important link In the evidence
thus far procured is the testimony OF
Captain Hans Suhren, master Of the
Quesada, who was so actively connect
ed with the office of Captain Boyd,
at II Broadway The skipper left be-
hind few letters and kilograms to
agents Of the Hamburg American Line,
in which he instructed them to honor
his drafts and pay his bills at Newport
News.
During the trial Of DR.. Buenz, resi-
dent director of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can Line. it was learned that one of
the governments important witnesses
had skipped, and that witness is be-
leved to be Suhren.
The government was unable to call
Philip Volz, agent of the North Ger
man Lloyd Line ir baltimore, who is
alleged to have cleared the Marina
Quesada, but in the testimony Of Nor
man r. Hamilton. Collector Of Customs
at Newport News, it was able TO show
that the vessel was illegally cleared.
H. Snowden Marshall, the United
States Attorney, is satisfied with the
conviction and sentences imposed upon
the uamDuTg-Amerlcan Line consplra-
tors, but it is understood that he has
no intention of resting on his oars II
enough evidence is obtained 20 convict
the others, even though they may have
been acting under the direction of Cap
tain Boyd.
An official Of the Department Of JUS
tice said yesterday that the govern
ment was on the trail OF the man high
er up in the plots against munition fac
tories, and that his arrest had been de-
ferred for departmental reasons. He
admitted that the scope Of the German
plotters was so great that the Federal
authorities had not enough Secret Ser
vice men to carry on the governments
Investigations. An appropriation will
be asked Of Congress TO maintain Il
larger staff of Federal detectives.
A new indictment for Max Breitung,
Robert Fay, Robert Scholz and other
alleged conspirators will be filed this
morning.

Washington. Dec. 5.--In a statement
issued here tonight ex-Secretary Bry-

President Of its readiness to support

10 make to hasten the restoration of
peace in Europe.

IAN offer Of mediation" Mr.. Bryan
says, lis not only amply JUSTIFIED on
the ground Of humanity, but 1t IS de-
manded.
There is abundant reason TO believe
that the President, either alone or IN
conjunction with the executives OF the
other neutral nations, can secure from
the nations at war a statement OF the
terms upon which peace is possible,
and such statement would be the be
ginning of an exchange OF views whlch
would lead to treaty"

meets Tuesday will at once assure the
President of its readiness 70 support
him in any effort which he may see fit
TO make to hasten the restoration of
peace in Europe He offered me diation
at the beginning Of the war, but that
was sixteen months ago. Since that
time more than 100000 men have
been killed, more than 100000 have
been wounded and more than $4,000
100000 have been expended.
"In horrible detail and extent OF SUI
fering the war has surpassed anything
known to history. An offer Of media

ground Of humanity, but it is demanded.

they can be found il our obligations to

RECALL OF BOY-ED
POINTS TO FAILURE


fundamental question, whether Ameri-
cans had a right 20 be on an English
ship travelling in waters which had
been declared n war zone, and after
warning that the ship would be at
tackled on sight as a repriAl, has never
been settled.
Germany, il is learned, while she has
I in practice agreed not to attack such
ships. still claims tho right TO do so,
and so is not prepared to admit that
/ She is in any way responsible for the
deaths Of the Americans on the Lusi-
tania. Thus the whole question is ex-
actly where il was before the Lusi-
tania was sunk, except for the promise,
given not as right, but as n favor,
+ that non-combatants shall be spared.
With matters in this state, il is ar
gued, there is no chance of an agree
ment except by negotiations in the
most friendly possible spirit, and the
United States government would not
have stirred up further friction with
Germany so long as it had hopes of a
settlement Since il has taken action
against the two embassy attaches, care
full observers believe that it has aban-
doned hope of success by the peaceful
methods on which IL had depended, and
is now attempting TO bring pressure TO
bear in another way.
This decision is believed TO have been
fastened by the demand of the Aus
trian Charge for a disavowal of the
charges made by the Department Of
Justice against Consul General Nuber
and by the prospect that Ambassador
Won Bernstorff would soon protest
against the dragging Of Boy-Ed's name
into the Buenz case in New York.
Faced with the alternative OF making
practically an apology or of making
good the charges against the Germans,
/ the State Department chose the latter
course.
No intimation has been given as 10
whether the State Department will give
Germany a statement of the charges
against the two attaches or safe con-
duet for them or their successors
as IL Is understood Germany will de-
mand. This government feels that IL
rs under no obligation 70 do any of
/ those things, but the probability Of in
creasing tension with Germany may
/ have "a powerful influence.
! Germany is likely to feel that the
/ action taken in the cases Of Boyd and

usual requests Of one government that

Chicago, Dec. "a Chicago labor
man has been summoned before the
Federal grand jury in New York in
connection with alleged pro-German
plots.
c. II. Canode, a Chicago printer, left
to-day. The actions Of the Labor Ma
tional Peace Council are to be closely
examined. 1t is suspected that the or
ganization is financed by Germans.
Samuel Gompers asserts that the
action is based upon charges he made.
It was admitted by local Federal Off
cials that several other Chicagoans, be-
sides those already named, would be
asked to appear before the New York
jury.
1 Sinton G.. Clabaugh, chief Of the local
Z bureau of investigation Of the Depart
ment of Justice, admitted during the
day that other Chicagoans probably
would be subpenaed to appear before
ths New York grand jury. but refused
10 diyulge any information as to their
identity or what they were wanted for.
An attempt was made to organize q
Chicago branch Of the National Labor
Peace Council last summer, according
10 John Fitzpatrick. president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor. He also
confirmed the fact to-day that Con-
gresham Buchanan, l.. ?. Straube and
William +. Kramer were the three Chi
cagoans identified with the movement
here.

Mr. Fitzpatrick. "a letter was sent out

organization that grew out of the

cally denied he had any knowledge Of
the use of money in connection with
the work Of the Labor Peace Council.
lie said he had not been subpenaed
by the Federal authorities and that he
first knew Of the investigation this
morning.
Incidentally, Mr.. Hummel defended
the German government, and expressed
his regret over supplying ammunition
TO the Allies while prosecuting German
sympathizers for trying TO provision
a few ships. He also declared that
Straube told him not long ago that the
council was hard up for money.

the Teutonic Sons Of America, said to-

Attempts to locate Straube during
the day were unavailing. Mrs. StrauDe
said her husband was in San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Straube, one Of the officers
OF the council, was identified with the
Stereotypers Union in Chicago for
many wears. He was the moving spirit
in the effort TO organize Chicago
branch OF the peace council, according
to local labor officials, and devoted
most OF his time last summer to this
propaganda.
Patrick II. O'Donnell, president OF
the Irish Fellowship Club, who has
been prominent in the pro--German
peace society movement, stated he had
not been identified with the Labor
Peace Council.
"Our work was purely local." said
Mr.. ODonnell. 1--WE took our own col
lections TO defray our slight expenses,
and had nothing to do with Buchanan
and his associates. We were acting
entirely on principle"

Fireman Sees Smoke and Plaza Au-

A cigarette found smouldering in the
first balcony of tba Plaza Theatre,

dismissal of large audience inter

When the picture was nearing its end
the Good Night Thank You" sign was
flashed on the screen. As the asbestos
curtain came down the audience moved
toward the exit. Several fremen run

hint as TO what was the matter. There
was no disorder. A fireman saw the
smoke, the manager said, and took the
precaution Of having the audience dis
missed. No alarm was turned in.
