GERMAN RESERVIST.
HELD FOR FRAUD

New York, Aug. 1e.--August Meier
! a German reservist. was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
Houghton yesterday on charge of pos
ing as an American citizen IN order
to help him get back to Germany. To
accomplish his plan, II is said, ne
obtained the naturalization papers of
a dead man and embarked as sailor
on the American freight steamship
Evelyn, which left here December 81
for Beghorn. Italy. with a consign-
iment of horses for the Italian army.
1t was Meier's plan. Assistant United
States Attorney Sarfaty believes, to
make his way into Austria, then into
Germany by way OF Italy, as that
country was not In the war at the
time.
When the ship was three days out,
however. the horses began to die by
the scores. According to the owners
of the vessel and members of the
crew, the violent illness that attacked
the horses could not have been attrib-
utable TO the rough weather. Carlo
Rocco, who was in charge of the
horses. was of the opinion that they
had been poisoned by someone on
board as a part of German plot to
prevent the Italians from getting any
military equipment.
Finally Captain Barlow. of the Eve
Ign. drove all but few of the living
horses overheard. knowing that they
could not survive their Illness. Then
the water condenser having been dis
abled, he steered into st. Georges,
Bermuda, with thirty-ive OF the 365
horses on hoard The ship struck a
rock in entering the harbor. and the
crew had to appeal to the American
consul at st. Georges for aid In get
ting back to this country.
1t was then, the complaint sets forth.
that Meier showed the consul a set of
naturalization papers made out to
Bernhard Osterman, which he said
was his name, and received $35 to
Icarry him back to this country. The
complaint Is sworn TO by Immigration
Examiner Joseph M. Crooks.
Meier was held In $500 bail for the
Federal grand jury.

BRILLIANT INVENTOR
Pcrfector Of Duplex Telegraph System
and Associate OF Edison Arrest
ed for Theft. But Is set Free.

New York. Aug. 1s.--Charles Il.
Richards, once famous inventor but
now broken down and destitute.
pleaded guilty today in the court OF
special sessions TO a charge OF petty
larceny and received a suspended sem
tence Justices O'Keefe, Fleming and
E'reschi, when they heard the story OF
the mans life, gave him car fare TO
return to his old home in North
Adams. Mass
Probation Officer Russell. who
had charge of the case, surprised the
Justices when he told them Richards
was at one time one of the best-known
electricians in the country. the in
ventor of electrical appliances and an
associate OF Thomas A. Edison. In
1850 he travelled to Europe for Mr..
Edison, and studied the inventions of
the pioneer electricians.
He perfected the duplex system for
the telegraph, by which two messages
could be sent on one wire at the same
time.
Richards succumbed to the influ-
ence of whisky and three months ago
left North Adams. where he had
many wealthy relatives, and came to
this city. living in lodging houses. A
few days ago he was arrested when
trying to sell a telephone receiver
valued at $40 by the New York Tele-
phone copany. The telephone, the pro-
baton officer said, was stolen by the
old man with the hope that he could
raise some money for liquor
Henry Kilbourne, president of the
American Telegraph company, in
Brooklyn, who knew Richards for
many years, sent a letter to the JUS
tices asking them that they treat the
man leniently Richards thanked tho
court when he received the money for
his car fare and left for his home al
noon.
