ARREST ON THE CHARGE OF
PERJURY IN INVESTIGATION
OF LUS|TANIA AFF|DAv|TS
German Reservist Taken into Custody as Party
to Alleged "Conspira cy to Defraud United
States"

as a witness in the investigation OF
Koenig's activities was the basis OF
the perjury charge. In addition to the
statement by Dudley Field Malone, col
lector of the port, and by officials OF
the Cunard Line that the Lusitania was
unarmed, the government authorities
said tonight that they had evidence by
which they would prove that Stahl was
not on board the Lusitania. either on
April so or any other day before the
departure Of the Lusitania on her IA
tai trip. This has been gathered by
agents of the department of justice
who, since his disappearance a week
ago, have been investigating his activ-
tiles. Stahl was located the day before
yesterday in Albany and Immediately
brought here. While not under arrest,
he WAS kept under close surveillance
by the federal agents and submitted to
a searching examination. Certain in
formation which Stahl furnished to-
gether with other evidence collected in
the case is understood to have led to
the empanelling of the special grand
jury which met today. 1t was intimat-
ed, however that when called upon
before the jury to repeat this informa-
ton, Stahl was not so communicative.
During the two days since he was
brought back here he was permitted
to consult counsel and was in consulta-
ton with Edward Sanford who acted
as attorney for the Hamburg
Line in the governments case against
it charging violation of the neutrality
laws. When arraigned before United
States Commissioner Houghton after
his arrest, he asked that Mr. Sanford
be communicated with.
"Mr. Stemler (Koenig) got him for
me-" he told the commissioner in Ger
man.
Questioned about the case tonight,
Mr.. Sanford said he was acting for
Koenig in the case and would get Stahl
another lawyer. Koenig had nothing to
conceal in the matter, he declared. and
had already given full information to
the government authorities. His client,
he said, had procured the affidavit from
Stahl in god faith.

THE FRENCH ANNOUNCE ARREST OF
C0M'R TH|ER|CHENS BUT DESPATCH
SAYS He IS ON STR AT NORFOLK

Paris, June 10, COS A. M.-The cap
tain of the German converted cruiser
Prinz Eitel Friedrich has been arrest
ed while disguised as a cook aboard an
Italian steamer, says an Algerciras dis
patch to the Havas Agency.
Commander Thierichens Of the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich interned his vessel at
Newport News nthe night of April Z.
He and his officers gave their parole to
the United States authorities thereby
agreeing not to leave American soil, al
though they had the freedom Of the
country.
The Prinz Eitel Friedrich entered the
harbor at Newport News March 10, oS-
tensibly to make repairs and take aboard
supplies. This port of reguse was
reached by the German cruiser after
an adventurous cruise in which she de-
stroyed many merchant vessels sailing
under the flags of the allies Commander
Thierichens wa sexpected to make a
dash for sea after necessary repairs
to his ship had been completed but is
supposed to have abandoned the plan
because Of the careful watch kept by
British cruisers off Newport News to
prevent his escape. There has been no
previous intimation that he had left the
United States.

STAHL ARRESTED

The first result of the investigation
was the arrest today for perjury Of
Gustave Stahl, German reservist,
who made one of the affidavits submit
ted by the embassy and who is alleg-
ed to be closely associated with Koenig.
The warrant on which he was arrested
alleges that he committed perjury in
an investigation by the jury against
Paul Koenig, alias Stemler, and 9TH
ers'' under that section of the penal
code covering conspiracy to defraud the
United States. He was taken into GUS
tody Immediately upon the conclusion
OF his testimony and sent to the Tombs
for lack Of the $4,000 bail demanded
by the Government.

their site is ideal. The first thing
which will impress the visitor. es-
pecially if the approach is made by
the blue waters of the Golden Gate is
the exquisite harmony of the color
scheme, making the domes and towers.
especially in the sunlight a spectacle of
wondrous splendor Eight colors con-
tribute to this harmony: French green
for lattices, ETC.; deep blue for vaulted
ceilings. pinkish-red with a dash OF
brown for the background Of colon
nades: an orange pink for flag poles;
golden burnt orange for small domes
and mouldings; terra Gotta for domes;
gold for statuary, and verde antique
for urns and vases. The different
palaces standing amidst gardens Of
bloom and semi tropic foliage make a
picture never to be forgotten.
1t is utterly useless for a person to
expect in two or three days time to
obtain even a bird's-eye view Of this
great fair. Your correspondent has
spent the greater part of two days in
the Palace Of Fine Arts, and feels that
the time was not sufficient to appre-
ciate its beauties.
The State superintendent of instruc-
ton has prepared an itinerary for stu
dents who contemplate attending the
exposition which may be Of interest
to Journal readers. 1t is believed that
in eight separate visits. one may visit
every important building and have
time to digest what is presented. Let

One phase of the note which attracted
much attention in diplomatic circles was
that relating to mediatory steps on the
part Of the United States looking to-
ward a reformation of warfare on the
seas generally. In this connection 1t was
suggested that the chief difficulty might
be an insistence by Germany that the
Allies refrain from interfering not only
with foodstuffs consigned to her civ
ilian population, but with raw materials
of all kinds.

the people would resist such policy.
Meantime Sofia denies the threaten

Negative actions will not satisfy the
Allies who demand that Bulgaria opeb-
ly break with the central powers. If
Allied action is necessary when Bull
garia decides, this action will be taken
by troops now ready to take the field

have been expressed that such action
will cause Rumania to definitely decide
her policy.
