American vessels carry munitions. We
are justified therefore. in asking in

tack American muni;ion-ca YES
sells
The courts have held hat where
IA railroad line is INSTRUCTED and there
road lire charges OF ob.tructing the
mails can lie sustained. The principle
is the same in this case.
Will. SEEK CONVICTIONS
UNDER NEW INDICTMENTS
The indictments previously brought
against FAY AND his associates. were
under sections "2G and 2?S of char ter
L. OF the criminal code. These indict-
mentS charge spiracy 10 destroy or
injurc ships and conspiracy 10 set upon
or attack ships With intent to plumber
or despoil the owners - ship or cargo.
The present indictments will be al
lowed 10 stand, MIR. Marshall said. but
The indicated that attention would be
conferred ia AN effort TO obtain convic-
lions under the new indictments.
1t is believed here that the decision
TO press for new indictments is the
first direct result OF President Wilson'S
order to make every effort to put a
stop TO the bomb plots and other con
spiracies which have been disclosed
during the past few months. and that
it will bc followed h. much more
drastic action if the men higher up
are definitely located. The general
opinion is that cancellation OF the
eNeuuaturs OF all Austrian cousuls inn
plicated in the plots will follow if
r
OF their alleged activities.
