 OF BOMB PLOTS
Federal Grand Jury in New York Returns a Blanket
 Indictment.

 The six men are charged with two separate offenses under the admiralty division of the United States criminal code. All of them, except Dache, a new Jersey prisoner, will be arraign- ed for pleas tomorrow.
 The first count of the indictment charges a conspiracy to "despoil ves- sells belonging to another in violation of section 37 of the United States criminal code" A violation of sec tion 296 is charged in the second count. It is asserted that the six men "conspired to destroy vessels with intent to injure' persons who have underwritten policies of insurance On vessels and cargoes."
 The cumulative penalty is 12 years in a federal prison and payment of fine of $20,000.
 The men are expected to plead not guilty tomorrow. The government will move for an early trial. A great mass of evidence is in the hands of Assistant United States Attorney Knox.
 Fay and Scholz were unperturbed when news of the grand jury's action was conveyed to them in the Tombs An unconfirmed rumor said that the former has recently received a num- Der of threatening letters.

 on Allies Pleas.

Washington, Nov. S.-The next seizure and detention by Great Britain of an American ship or cargo, bound to a neutral port, will be made the subject of a special protest by the state department, which may even de- mand the disavowal of the act.

 Department officials have heard that members of congress are preparing themselves for debate, in the expecta- ton that congress will be called upon to formulate plan for reckoning with Great Britain. An official stated today that while the establishment of an embargo might have the effect or bringing Great Britain to terms Dy cutting off a market which is vital 10 her it might be open to the techm- cal objection of being a retanatory measure.

GAVE STAG movie"
SHOW; LOST LICENSE
Mayor Acts in Case Of Theater that
Exhibited Dance of Seven
Wells" Film.

| Rochester, July 25.-Mayor Edgertor
| announced yesterday that he had re.
voked the license OF the Victoria Thea
! ter. a first-class motfon-picture house
because of the conviction of John G
Farren. its manager. on a charge o!
i showing a film called The Dance of the
Seven Wells to stag party of newspa-
per men and city officials a few weeks
ago Farren pleaded guilty in court and
was fined $500 after Al LYMAN. proprie-
tor of string of small houses in Nj
agara Falls. had been convicted of rent
ing the film to Farren and fined a SINH
lar amount.
Attorneys for the Rochester Theater
Company, OF which Edward Ellen is presi-
dent. announced that the theater would
continue to run because the mayor had
no power under the charter to revoke
the license. They changed their minds,
however. when a squad of policemen
appeared and stood about in the lobby
at opening time. Later an ordinance was
discovered which empowers the mayor
to revoke the license. and he lost no
time in doing just that. The theater is
dark and likely to remain so.
The Seven Wells" case. as the incident
is termed by the local newspapers, has
involved scores of city officials, among
them several police officers. and it is
likely some official heads will be chopped
off before it is cleared up. Four hun
bred attended the stag. which began at
midnight. and their appreciation of the
Queen of the Latin Quarter" who wore
the seven veils-in the beginning-was SO
keen that the film was shown half a
dozen times
The Baptist Ministerial Association
compelled the investigation, charging
that members of the police and detective
force had attended the show.

New York, July 25.-Oscar s. Straus.
in ommending President Wilson's
note to Germany. asserted that II the
Germans continue to treat Americans
as belligerents the United States will
be compelled to become a belligerent
and to take q hand in tho European
strife.
Our governments note" said Mr..
Straus, is clear, forceful and express
sive of the well-established principles
of neutral rights. 1t unequivocally
gives Germany to understand that an
other invasion of our rights will not
be tolerated without serious conse-
quences.
Whether there will be such an I'M
happy issue is entirely in Germany's
hands. We want peace, but it must
be peace with justice. Our rights as
neutral nation are not dependent
upon the acts of belligerents toward
one another They are not derived
from them, and they cannot be
abridged or taken from us by them.
We hope to remain neutral This
is the sincere desire of all true Amer
leans. But II we are treated as bel
ligerents. in order to protect our
selves we shall be compelled to be-
come belligerents. This we owe to
ourselves and to humanity"
