"SPY" WILL TESTIFY
in PASSPORTS CASE
Stegler Agrees to Go on
Stand Against Cook
and Madden.
WILSON CALLED FOR
GRAND JURY INQUIRY
Counsel for German Reporters
Dares Woman to Bring
Suit for Damages.

Richard p. Stegler agreed yesterday
to testify FOR the government against
Gustav Cook and Richard Madden, in
dleted with him for conspiring fraud
uiently TO obtain passport. Whether
he VIII be called upon to testify de-
pends upon the action taken BY Mad
den and Cook.
Assistant United States Attorney
Roger b. Wood said immunity had not
been promised Stegler.
He has been promised nothing" "
said the prosecutor, after a long talk
with the prisoner. ale is, however,
acting on the advice of counsel, and
l think he has been rightly advised
that his proper course IS 70 plead
guilty and throw himself upon the
mercy of the court"
In his talk with Mr.. Wood Stegler
went over his story first obtained ten
days ago, explaining some points that
had been ambiguous. He involved no
others than those whose names have
already appeared in the case.
Mrs. Stegler was in doubt yester-
Gay as TO whether or not she would
bring suits for damages because OF
her arrest In the Hotel Grenoble on
Monday morning. This was said to be
due largely to uncertainty whether it
could be proved that A. A. Sander and
A. W. Mateiket. reporters on the New
York "Staats-Zeitung," were acting
under orders of their paper in taking
her to the hotel.
c. A. Oberwager, counsel for the re-
porters, said they would welcome a
suit.
at would certainly give my clients
much pleasure to have this young
woman submit 10 cross-eXamination in
any suit growing out of this affair,
he declared.
Mrs. Stegler was reported as having
n new grievance. She says that in the
melee in the Hotel Grenoble she lost
n purse containing $40. No complaint
has been made TO the police or mag
istrate.
Washington. March .. President
Wi son revealed to-day that he directed
the present New York grand jury in
vestigation into the alleged passport
frauds
II was indicated, however. that un-
less indictments were returned the
United States could not take notice
officially OF charges made against dip
lOmatic officers or embassy attaches.
The name of Captain Boy-Ed. naval at
tache Of the German Embassy. has
been brought prominently into one
case.
While international law holds a dip
lomatic officer immune from arrest. it
is said il does not preclude indict-
ment. In such an event the affair be-
comes a question of the acceptability
of any officer involved.
II was reported in Washington to-
night that Captain Boy-Ed, the German
naval attache. would soon 20 to Mexico,
to which country he is accredited as

NOT A FRUIT THIEF
Il Is Also Denied That BIuebird
Preys Upon Crop.
IS A HARBINGER OF SPRING
In Selection Of Food Bird ls Governed
More by Abundance Than by Choice
insects Form Important
Part Of Its Diet.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Although the bluebird frequents our
orchards and gardens and builds its
nests in cavities Of trees. there seems
to be no evidence that it is a fruit
thief. Neither does the bird seem to
prey upon crops.
The eastern bluebird, one of the
most familiar and welcome Of our
feathered visitors, is common inhab-
liant of all the states east of the
Rocky Mountains from the Gulf Of
Mexico to southern Canada. In the
Mississippi valley it winters as far
north as southern Illinois, and in the
East as far as Pennsylvania. 1t is one
Of the earliest northern migrants, and
everywhere is hailed as harbinger Of
spring.
It is evident that in the selection
Of its food the bluebird Is governed
more by abundance than by choice.
Predaceous beetles are eaten In
spring, as they are among the first in
sects to appear; but in early summer
caterpillars form an important part
,f the diet, and these are later replaced
