AGAINST IGEL ARREST
WILL BE DISREGARDED
Government Holds Alleged
Plotter Was Attached to
Embassy at Time
of Crime
PAPERS NOT RETURNED
u. S. Attorney Says Documents Seized
Are Still Locked in
His Safe

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The At
torney Generals office is understood to
have decided to prosecute Wolf Won Igel,
Captain Won Papen's former secretary,
who was arrested in New York on an in
dictment charging conspirlng to blow up
the Welland Canal. in Canada, notwith-
standing the German Ambassadors re-
quest that Won Igel receive immunity as
a diplomatic agent.
Counsellor Polk, of the State Depart
ment, advised the Department of Justice
to free the prisoner unless the alleged Of
fense was committed before he became a
member of the Embassy staff. AS the
crime Is said to have been committed in
September, 1914, while Won Igel was not
registered as an Embassy employe until
December, 1915, the legal branch of the
Government is said TO have concluded that
no diplomatic immunity stands in the way
of his prosecution.
In fact some officials contend that
clerks or secretaries of embassy attaches
even though formally registered as such,
enjoy no immunity.
Official documents, seized in Won Papen's
office when Won 1gel was arrested will be
returned to the German Embassy. Secre-
tary Lansing today assured Count Won
Bernstorff that this would be done, after
the latter had called at the State Depart
ment and emphasized his demand of yes
terday that the papers be returned. These
papers, which embassy officials seemed
most anxious to recover, are said to be
partly in code, and their examination

LONDON DOUBTS U-BOAT

Cabinet Crisis Takes Secondary Place
in Public Interest

LONDON, April 20.--President Wilson's
speech in Congress is the feature of the
newspapers, which recognize that the con-
troversy between America and Germany
has reached crisis which is likely to
change completely the whole aspect OF
the war. Even the British Cabinet situ-
alton takes a secondary place in public
interest. Indications from Germany as

likely to take in reply to the Presidents

anxiety.
ut is difficult to suppose" says the
Chonicle editorially, that the German
Government, elated by the submarine
success of the last six weeks, will accept
President Wilson's terms.
diplomatic relations between Berlin
and Washington will then be broken or.
The resulting situation, of course will
not be a state of war, but IL may easily
develop into one II Germany perpetrat,a
fresh atrocities and American citizens are
victims. This must be obvious to both
parties. President Wilson has counted
the cost and presumably the Kaiser is
counting IL. If he decides that con-
tinuance of summarizing is worth the dip
lomatic break with America, he will prob
ably decide 1t is worth war, too. If, on
the other hand, he desires to avoid war,
he would most naturally make his con-
cessions at n stage when II would also
avert breaking off of relations"

SOLDIERS EXPECT WAR
Here at the front sentiment is unani-
nous that war with Mexico hnpends as a
result of the Parral incident. There is
according to military authorities here.
only one loophole of dubious worth and
that is an immediate disavowal on the
part of General Carranza of the acts of
the men of the Parral garrison and of
LaZano, the commander there. This, it
is believed, Carranza will not dare to give
because of the intense anti-Amerlcan feel
ing which rports to General Pershing
show, has swept all over the whole of Chi
huahua and doubtless over all of North
ern Mexico.
It is believed that Carranzas own in
stability will force him rather to force
a war with the United States than to risk
internal dssension by dishvowal of the
Parral incident. distorted versions of
which have been accepted as facts by
Mexican poems
That the battle was the result of the
treachery of General Bazano Is carefully
kept from public circulation, the poems
being told the Americans sought to cap
ture Parral, attacking women and children
as well as men, and were terribly defeated
by the garrison.
Proof that the battle was an organ
lied action on the part of the Carranza
garrison seems indisputable. One forceful
fact is that of the 3S Mexican dead left
in the streets and along the line of re-
treat only one was a civilian. The rest
were Carranza soldiers.
Cavalrymen engaged in this fight point
out that the fact that only eight men
fought for 10 miles a rearguard action
against 400 Carranzistas aided by n few
armed citizens is proof enough that the
could have routed the pur-
suers at any moment they wished and

OF his arrest will be returned to the Ger
man Embassy, United Statee Attorney II.
Snowden Marshall declared last night
Il have not even considered the release
OF Won Igel," Mr.. Marshall continued.
The legality of his arrest was definitely
settled so far as my office IN concerned,
early today.
Following Won Igel's arrest and the
protest of the German Ambassador, the
protest was communicated to my office.
The only question to be decided was
whether Won Igel was member of the
German Ambassadors staff on the date
of the crime charged. I was able imfns-
dlately to report in the negative.
II doubt II Won Tgel proved acceptable,
and 1t is my opinion that he never has
been legally a member Of the German
Embassy staff"
Regarding the documents seized, denial
was made by Mr. Marshall that he had
received instructions to turn them over
to the German Embassy.
~ was instructed early today to for
ward to Washington papers described as
official by Count Won Bernstorff,"N the
District Attorney said.
Not desiring to take upon myself the
responsibility of deciding which OF the
paper we're official, I sent for fac-sim-
lie photographs of all the papers. The
originals are locked in my safe. Only
such papers as Count Won Bernstorff des-
ignates as official on inspecting the fac
simile will be returned"
Mr. Marshall asserted there was no
basis for protest against his retention Of
the papers on the ground that they were
obtained through a violation of German
territory Won Igel contended that his
office was a branch of the German EN-
bassy.
The seal OF the embassy, It was learned
today, has been placed on Won Igels Office
safe, the door of which he slammed shut
during his struggle with the Federal
agents who arrested him.
Attorneys for Captain Hans Tauscher
declared he was in Boston, ana would
surrender here tomorrow. The arrest of
A. A. Fritzen, another of the alleged plot
ters, is expected to be made soon. Con-

II Is pointed out that nothing in the
Presidents speech was calculated to
arouse public sentiment There was no
appeal for support, and no insistence on
patriotism. The message based all action
on the grounds OF humanity rather than
American interests, and the general feel

TO the Church of st. Ladislas, but the
rector, the Rev. Joseph Kucynski, was able
TO give no aid beyond the information that
the Rev. Bruno Walter, S. c. r. was
priest of the Scranton diocese.
This Father Walter. who is stationed In
Wilkes-Barre. is unknown personally to
the priests at St Ladsas they said. and
was not expected to preach in their church
last night.
With this Information, the parents of
the lost boy became alarmed and notified
the police. A general search for Frank
and his clerical-looking companion is be-
ing made.
The boy was about FIVE feet tall of
medium weight. lie had a thin face, dark
hair, parted on the side. He wore dark
blue clothes, short trousers, dark cap and
black shoes and stockings.
The supposed priest is described by
Quin as being about feet inches tall,
stocky in build, weighing about 10
pounds. He wore glasses in additional to
the conventional collar and black suit of
the clergy.
