Special Agents Are InveStigat-

Eutarh and in Cotton

Letters Accusing Certain Off

Much Are Being In
VeStigated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - Special
agents of the department of justice
and the neutrality squad of the secret
service today are investigating the
fires on the British steamer Eutarh at
South Brooklyn and a cotton ware
house fire at Red Hook in connection
with the reported plot to destroy
ocean vessels carrying supplies to
Great Britain and her allies for which
various arrests already have been
made in New York.
Additional agents have been sent
from here to New York and the Of
ticials in charge of the investigation
confidentially admit that they do not
believe they have caught any of the
''men higher up" in the general plot
they ar vonvinced exists.
In this connection it was learned at
the department of justice today that
number of letters have reached
there complaining that the publicity
the Fay-SchOlz bomb plot arrests in
New York has prevented additional
arrests of more important conspira-
tors" These letters, it is said de-
clare that the published statements of
certain officials who have been work
ing on the case gave warning TO other
persons who were in the conspiracy
and they were able to cover their
tracks.
The department is investigating the
authorship of these letters, in order
to learn, if possible, just hof much
the writer's know and whether their
information would be valuable
The department of justice has re-
ceived many letters whose authorship
was hidden, but which have been of
great assistance in clearing up allega-
tons of neutrality violations in certain
locations. This has been especially
so in the case of various suspected
wireless plants which have been To-
Gated through these letters and dis
mantled without any court proceed
ings or undue publicity.
NEW YORK. Nov. Awhile the
federal grand jury was busy today
investigating the activities Of Robert
Fay, Walter Scholz and others ar
rested in connection with the plot
to blow up ammunition ships at sea,
the police were making a determined
effort to connect the alleged bomb
conspirators with an explosion and
fire on board the British freighter,
Euterpe, in Erie basin, yesterday. The
Euterpe was being loaded with SUI
gar for the British army.
The belief is held both by the po-
lice and the federal authorities that
Germans with whom Fay had deal
ings were responsible for the damage
to the Euterpe.
The first witness before the federal |
grand jury was Carl Wettig. a soldier
of fortune and chemist, who has
given the government valuable in
formation about Fay's plans to dam |
age at sea ships carrying ammunition /
TO the allies.
Another witness under subpoena to |
testify was Paul Seib
L. S. Dist. Atty. Snowden Marshall
declared he was positive that the ac- /
eused men would be indicted.

Early Morning oratory.

The House then droned on for half an
hour. doing little, until the sparks flew
between two old comrades, Representa-
tives Mann and Adamson, when the lat
ter endeavored to bring IN and pass a
bill authorizing two new revenue cut
tiers. Representative Mann objected, and
Representative Adamson declared that
an agreement had been made to allow
the bill passage. Representative Mann
came back with the statement that the
next time he had an agreement with
the gentleman from Georgia it would
have to be in writing.
I'VE need these revenue cutters" said
Representative Adanison. "Some of the
present cutters are rustier and more help
less than the gentleman from Illinois and
myself" This didn't help matters at all.
Representative Underwood endeavored to
smooth out the wrinkles, but Representa-
tive Mann made point of no quorum At
that hour in the morning with the sun
nearly up it would have been impossible
to get quorum without breaking into
lot of bedrooms, and it looked for while
as if q wrench had been thrown into the
machinery.
But it all turned out nicely, except
that Representative Adamson had to
withdraw his revenue cutter bill. He
and Representative Mann blew kisses
across the House at one another. Rep
resentative Underwood asked unani-
nous consent to smoke. and to let
every one else smoke:
I'm not going to get a headache for
anybody, roared Representative Mann,
who seemed to be doing all the talking

\ few minutes later the House took a
| fifteen minute recess, devoted to fine
attempts at harmony. With a wonder
ful combination of basso and tenor the
hundred remaining members sang
Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye" and
other ante-bellum songs, applauding
their own efforts manfully. Repre-
sentative Conry of New York sang one
or two verses in solo to the great de-
light of all concerned. His big hit
was that grand old ballad. Believe
Me. If All Those Endearing Young
Charms"
Whether or not Representative
Conry's Tammany voice had anything
to do with it or not is a question; any
how, the House shortly thereafter took
a recess at 4:5S am. until am.

resentative Floods high tenor was
