Metsler also was employed by the
Hamburg American line and acted as
stenographer to Koenig. He was to
have been arraigned with his chief
and Leyendecker, but at the last mo-
ment 1t was announced by Assistant
United States Attorney, Wood, who
is In charge of the case, that Metsler
would not appear. Later, n high fed
eral official admitted that Metsler had
offered to turn states evidence and
had already supplied the government
with much valuable information.
Liberty is Refused.
AS soon as It was known that Met
sler would not be arraigned. two at
torneys acting for the Hamburg
American line. went to the federal
authorities and asked permission 10
see him. This request was refused.
The attorneys then offered any
amount Of bail to secure Metsler's
liberty. This offer also was refused.
Metsler. who has been examined at
the police headquarters during the
night, was taken away early today,
and no information would be .vouch-
safed as to where he was being held.
Another man held by the federal
authorities as a material witness
against Koenig was George Fucns,
about whose identity the utmost so
crecy was observed. Fuchs was tax
en- into custody. but was not formal-
ly arrested and no charge was made
against him. It was reported at the
federal building today that he was In
reality a
Secret Service Agent
and that it was largely through his
efforts that the alleged plot was un-
covered.
A new. development occurred in the
case late today, when Otto F. Mottoia,
a police headquarters detective, was
suspended after hearing by Com
missioner Woods. Mottola was sum-
moned before the Commissioner ar-
ter the police said they found his
name in a notebook taken from
Koenig. According to statements at
tributed to Koenig and Metzler, Mot
tola was employed by the former at
three dollars day to make invests
cations.
The arrests yesterday aud today
are said to be merely the forerun-
ners Of numerous other arrests which
will extend throughout the country.

LANSING RADICAL,
BRYAN'S ALLIES CRY
Friends Of Peace Declare Sec
rotary Is Liable to Plunge
Il. s. Into War.
JINGO PLOT rs CHARGED

The Friends Of Peace. who have cham
pioned William Jennings Bryan since
he resigned as Secretary OF State. issued
a statement yesterday attacking Secre-
tary OF State Lansing. Mr.. Lansing Ia
accused OF being n man whose radical
ism Is liable to plunge this nation into
war"
The statement demands that the Sec
rotary employ more conservatism and
elaboration in his official acts, or II by
nature he Is deprived of such qualities.
that he surrender his high post to one
possessing them, and whose official acts
therefore Will not be a menace to the
peace and prosperity Of this country at
such a critical period.
Just at this Juncture," the statement
goes on to say. the country needs a
Secretary whose conduct Ia calculated to
avoid war. not to precipitate II. II needs
n man OF high craftsmanship in the Sec
retary's chair, one who Is neutral in his
views not partisan or militant. one who
is a friend OF the masses. not of the
classes"
The Friends of Peace give several
reasons for the need of "a high order Of
diplomacy and regard for the public
veal in the conduct OF the Secretary OF
state. They charge that there Is strong
evidence or a deliberate plot to involve
this nation in the European war" that
the same subtle influence which dragged
the Italian kingdom into the war against
the peoples will is at work in America
and along Identical lines
