Official Papers Are Taken.

New York.--In the arrest Of Albert
Fay, lieutenant in the German army
and Walter Scholz, his brother-in-law
police and federal secret service
agents believe they have detained
leaders in a plot to wreck American
munition plants and ships carrying
munitions.
According to Captain Tunney, OF
the New York anarchists squad, Fay
confessed that he came here to work
out a plan for stopping the shipment
Of munitions. He said, Tenney AYERS,
that he was supplied with $4,000 for
carrying out his operations. Papers
found in his room showed he was a
German secret service agent.
A vast quantity of high explosives
were found In the prisoners room In
Weehawken, N. ].
Both men are held on technical
charges Of disorderly conduct. An ad-
ditional charge of attempted bribery
may be made against Fay. He is said
to have offered $1,000 to a police offi-
Ger for his release. He is said to have
offered an advance payment Of $50
when the officer agreed to his PROPOSE
ton.
Police who have been watching out.
going vessels for explosives caused
the arrests.
Explosives and survey charts of New
York harbor are said to have been
found In their possession.
The men are declared to have been
testing bomb in O small grove when
Five steel mines, said by the police
to belong to the prisoners, later were
found in West Hoboken storehouse.
Each was packed in separate wood
case, and fitted with an attachment
which might be fastened to the stern
of ship by wire. Contact with the
propeller Of ship, 1t is said, would
explode the mine.
Two cases found In the mems room
in Weehawken were filled with ex-
plosives, letters written in German
and official-looking documents. Among
the explosives were small sticks of
dynamite and various kinds Of acid
used in the manufacture of explosives.
One Of the papers, 1t Is asserted by
the police, showed Fay to be lieuten-
ant In the German army and connect
ed with the German foreign office on
the Wilhelmstrasse.
The police assert that the prisoner
had admitted the ownership of high.
automobile and speedy mo-
torboat, both of which are in Wee
