U. S. Attorney Contin-
ues to Declare He Will
Hold the German and
the Documents
Ready with Evidence to Prove
Lease of Won Papen's Offices
Was Drawn in Won Igeps
Name

New York, April 20.-In spite Of the
German ambassadors demands for the
release of Wolfe Won 1gel and the re-
turn Of papers seized at the time Of his
arrest in the former Office here Of Capt.
Franz Won Papen, recalled German mil
itary attache, United States Attorney
H. Snowden Marshall reiterated tonight
his determination to retain not only Won
Igel, but the documents.
MarshaII's Preparedness
Although Mr.. Marshall refused to re-
veal the basis for his firm stand, it was
learned from other federal officers that
he was fully prepared to furnish the
state department with evidence to prove
that the lease for the Won Papen offices,
the point upon which the entire contro-
versy hinges was drawn in the name of
Won Igel.
Won 1gel, the United States attorney
maintains was not a member of Am
bassador Won Bernstorff's official fam.
lily under December 1915 and he doubts
if he can be classified as a member
even after that period. The lease for
the offices, federal authorities state was
made out by Won Igel during the time
that he had no official connection with
the German embassy.
Attorney Marshall said he had turned
the inquiry on this point over to Capt
William B. Offley, who conducted the
investigation which resulted in the re.
turning Of indictments against Capt
Won Papen, Won Igel and three others
IN tho CHARGE Of copspirjnu - h1ou ur

Mr.. Marshall denied officially that the
confiscated papers had disclosed new
plots or the existence of German spy
system in this country.

ENGLAND CLAIMS A GREAT
PLOT REVEALED WITH ITS
OBJECT. THE CREATION OF
A REVOLUTION IN INDIA
Intelligence Department Declares Seizure of the
Teuton Subjects from Liner Has Uncovered
Most Important Conspiracy

London, April 10, SIG p. Mas the
result Of the seizure Of German and
Austrian subjects aboard the China Mail
liner China last February while bound
from Shanghai for the United States.
the intelligence department Of the Brit
ish government claims to have uncov-
.,ed plot Of immense ramif1cations
conducted with the purpose Of causing
a revolution in India.
Headquarters in Y. s.
The American headquarters Of the
MATTERS is said to be on the Pacific
coast At least one ship is known to
have sailed from San Francisco with
f. German crew and Indian conspirators
and arms on board.
The headquarters Of the plot in the
Orient was at Shanghai and when the
gun running and other Vaccinations
were uncovered according to the author
,,ies here, the plotters set sail for Ma
Mia aboard the steamship China.
1opp Suspected
The leaders of the plot seized on the
China are said to have had in their
nossession false passports, which they
destroyed. Among the men taken from
the vessel were five Austrian officers as
well as a number Of Germans from the
German ships informed in Shanghai and
at other Chinese ports. The British off,
Gals say they believe that Franz Bopp,
the German consul general at San Fran
cisco and other persons under Federal
indictment there, participated in the
plot.
The seizure Of the party on the China
did not end the plot, according to Off
Gals here, who declare that all its rami-
fcations have not yet been traced. They
state that enough is known, however
to check any possibility Of trouble in
India.

Immediately will make representations to

Text Of Communication
A translation Of the text of Germany's
communication. addressed by Ambassa-
DOR Won Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing,
follows
IN pursuance o: conferences with
the state department, l have submit
yea to my government the question Of
inc export Of $1,000 tons of dyestuffs
from Germany to meet the urgent
heeds OF American manufacturers as
laio before you by their representa-
yves. AS you are aware, the so-called
piockade which the countries at war
win Germany have instituted. has
resulted IN complete cessation Of
commercial intercourse between the
ohlted States and Germany, whereby
hon-contraband goods and condition
ai contraband goods, destined for the
c''lllar population, can no longer be
imported into Germany; and merchan-
use OF German origin, even though
an1pped from neutral ports and own
ca oy citizens Of the United States has
oeen forcibly removed from neutral
sh'ps. In consequence thereof the Ger
man government has had to adhere to
tne principle that the export of Ger
man goods could be permitted only in
exchange for American goods.
IEe German government has, how
ever seen with regret. after n care
1ui consideration Of the situation. that
this blockade has resulted in serious
embarrassment to those American in
oustries which are in need Of dye
Stunts and, without prejudice to its
lnsistence Of justifable character of
Tue blockade the government declares
ltself prepared to make a single ex-
ceptior strictly limited to the ship
ment of $1,000 tons of dyestuffs re-
terred to. the export Of which has
oeen sought by American interests for
almost a year.
Huch shipments must, Of course, be
MADE under guarantee which will sat
.staetorily assure the safe arrival Of
mo oyestuffs in the United States for
consumption by the American manu-
,acturers and under adequate provis-
ION against their re-export to countries

TWO YEARS IN BED

MRS. WILSON SAYS SHE HAD

ton for number of years.

chronic Indigestion" continued Mrs.
Wilson, "and don't guess anybody

and at times had those dreadful

of fainting. l had dreadful head

When the $4,000 bond issue for
a better high school equipment was
agitated some time ago, it was
thought that that amount of money
would be sufficient to accomplish the
object. But it cannot be done as
Columbus demands for that sum.
The city council was wise in its
purchase of the S. d. Lee property
for the new school. No better high
school site can be found in any city
in the state. This purchase took
$4,000 of the money, but the city
owns a piece of property worth a
good deal more than its cost The
council made thorough investiga-
ton of the high school buildings in
other Mississippi cities and employed
one of our best architects who has
submitted plans for structure ac-
cordng to their ideas and which
meets with the hearty approval of
every one who has examined them.
These plans have been submitted to
twelve contractors, six of seven of
whom made bids on them. The low
est bid received was considerably
more than the $4,000 left in the
fund. The heating, plumbing, wiring
and furnishings were not included IN
this lowest bid. Neither was the re-
modelling of the Lee home necessary
to adapt it to the use of the school.
J Now it would be extremely foolish
| for us to construct high school
building that would not only be IN
adequate to start on but would GER
tainly have to be rebuilt in just a
few years. Nobody wants a high
school building that would not be a
credit to Columbus or that would be
a reflection on her educational ideals.
Still one of two things must be
done; either the council must go
ahead and put up and equip such a
building as $4,000 will pay for or
they must have more money. The
present high cost of all building ma
terial, especially of all metals and
furnishings makes it impossible what
was thought could be done with $780,
600 and it will not do to waste the
money now on hand by putting up
"make-shift."
Realizing all these facts, the Cham
her of Commerce at meeting or
Tuesday night passed resolution to
the effect that the issue of $25,ooO
additional bonds should be agitated
and promoted.
| This amount will complete the
building as now planned in every re-
spect and adequately equip It WITT
modern furnishings so chat 1t will DC
efficient to the highest degree. u
will also remodel the Lee home SC
that it can be used to the fullest ex
| tent. The additional bond issue o.
s25. 900 will protect the money W.
now have in hand by giving us higf
school building that will meet ou'
needs for fifty years to come ant
