GERMANY BROUGHT
INTO SHIP PLOT
Secret Service Agents, 1t is
Alleged, Advised Mem
berS of Gang.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-A new con-
fession by Robert Fay, ringleader in
the German plot to blow up ammuni-
ton ships at sea, involves the secret
service department of the imperial
German government so seriously that
it may lead to a diplomatic contro-
versy similar to that resulting from
the German submarine warfare.
According to Fay the conspiracy to
cripple American plants which have
been making war supplies for the al
lies and to blow up ships was Matched
by the advice Of the German secret
service.
Information contained in Fay's
latest confession has been turned over
TO the United States attorney general
by the department of justice.
1t is said that only the names of
the five men now under arreSt-Fay,
Walter SchOlz. Paul Seibs, DR.. Herbert
Kienzle and Max Breitung-will be
presented to q federal grand jury when
indictments charging conspiracy are
demanded, although efforts are being
made to obtain the names of wealthy
German Americans who are supposed
to have contributed to the $4,000 con-
spiracy fund.
Asst. u. $. Dist. Atty. Knox declared
he was confident that rich and power
full Germans are involved.
L. $. Atty. Marshall declared that
more arrests may be made.

DIRECTORS HIT BY
COURT 6 RULING
Will Permit All Evidence ReIat-
ing to Deals in EIeC-
trio Lines.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Judge Hunt
in the United States district court to-
day dealt a severe blow 20 the New
Haven defendants when he declared
that the court would let in all evil
dence concerning the New Ravens
dabbling in electric lines in New Eng
land, whether they were interstate
lines or not.
The ruling came when the defense
objected to a letter read by the gov
eminent concerning the acquisition by
the New Haven of a 40-mile strip of
trolly line running from Meriden 10
Naugatuck in Connecticut to shut off
competition from a proposed electric
line paralleling the New Haven.
The letter tended to show how the
New Haven directors left no stone un-
turned to choke off all electric as well
as rail and water competition In New
England.
Today the government entered into
the third stage of the New Ravens
expansion period, under Charles 5.
Mellen, its swallowing up of trolly
lines. Already the prosecution has
shown how the New Haven gobbled
up the rail and water transportation
facilities of New England.
The prosecution proved conclusive
ly today that the New Haven direc-
tors financially aided the Goldsmith
suit against the New York and New
England that brought that road TO
its knees in receivership and enabled
the New Haven to acquire it's bonds
and stock.
The government next read a series
,Of letters from Vice PreS't Hall to
Charles r. Brayton, the blind boss
of Rhode Island, in which Hall said
the New Haven wanted killed off, a
bin in the legislature against trolley
lines paralleling steam railroads.
I'VE want no more such measures
If they cannot be helped" wrote Hall
TO BraytOn.
The bill was amended to provide
that no electric line should parallel
a steam line unless the public well
fare demanded it."
