GRAND OPERA SlNGER'S HUSBAND
 HELD FOR PLOTTING
Capt. Hans Tauscher, Alleged to Be Backer of Welland
 Canal Dynamiting Attempt.

New York, March 31.-Captain Hans Tauscher, husband of Mme. Johanna Gadski, the grand opera diva, and American agent of the Krupps and several big intuition manufacturers of Germany and Austria Hungary, was arrested at his office, No. 320 Broad way, at ? O clock yesterday afternoon on the charge of having set on foot a military enterprise to blow up the Welland Canal, an important avenue of commerce in Canada running around the Niagara Falls.
 The captain, much crestfallen deep to his natty attire and dignified de meanor, was arraigned before United States Commissioner =Houghton and held in $25, 900 bail for a hearing one week from next Thursday.
 Captain Tauscher, who is accused of having financed and directed a plot to destroy the waterway in September, 1914, just one year prior to the time that Paul <Koenig, the German secret service agent, planned, according to the government authorities, "a, similar undertaking, is by far the most inn portant person arrested thus far in the Federal investigation into Germany s alleged secret undertakings in this country. to hamper the Allies.
 He has been, according to inforn1a- ton obtained from authorities, a most important cog in the invisible machin- cry built up by Germans in America in connection with the necessities of warfare A man of wealth, a figure in grand opera circles because of his wife and distinguished in business matters because of his ability and the enter prises he represented, he has been a staunch supporter of the Teutonie cause. He is said to. be Germany S expert here on all matters pertaining to ordnance and as such every matter of this nature was referred to him for his opinions and suggestions,
 Since the outbreak of the war he was one of Captain von Papen's right hand men until the latter's recall be- cause of improper activities in mili- tary matters. He was in Berlin at the starting of the European war and as a reserve army captain he volunteered his services. but, according to his own statement to Federal investigators, he was told to come to this country and report to Captain von Papen. He S1td so and received: instructions which he

 Captain Tauscher looms in still arl- other phase. Because of the nature of his business he was the buyer and seller of arms and ammunition and he has stored in this city munitions val ued at almost a million dollars. He sold arms and ammunition extensively to Mexicans, shipped similar supplies +o South America and the Far East. ne shipment which he had planned to make is reported to have been stopped some time ago by thel Federal author fties.

spection. Such innocent property
may be of uncertain character, as it
has been frequently held that it is
more or less contaminated by asso-
citation with hostile property. For
example, under the Declaration Of
London (which, so far as the provis-
ions covering this subject are con-
cerned, has been adopted by all the
belligerents) the presence of a cargo,
which in bulk or value consists of
so per cent contraband articles, i'm

ter and subjects it to seizure and

a. Enemy property, including ships
and cargoes, is always subject to
seizure and condemnation. Any en-
envy property taken by a belligerent
on the high seas is total loss to the
owners. There is no redress in a
prize court. The only means of avoid
ing loss is by fight or successful re-
sistance. Enemy merchant ships
have, therefore, the right to arm fol

is armed for the purpose of seeking

character Of the vessels and their car
goes. If the hostile character of the
property is known, however, the bel
ligerent warship may seize the prop
erty without exercising the right Of
visit and search which is solely for
the purpose of obtaining knowledge
as to the character Of the property.
The attacking vessel must display its
colors before exercising belligerent
rights.
Z. When a beIligerent warship
meets a merchantmen on the high
seas which is known to be enemy
owned and attempts to capture the
vessel, the latter may exercise its
right of sef-protection either by fight
or by resistance. The right to cap
ture and the right to prevent capture
are recognized as equally justifable.
8. The exercise of the right Of cap
ture is limited, nevertheless, by GER
tain accepted rules of conduct based
on the principles of humanity and re-
gard for innocent property, even IL
there is definite knowledge that some
of the property, cargo, as well as the
vessel, is of enemy character. AS a
consequence of these limitations, it
has become the established practice
for warships to give merchant ves-
sells an opportunity 20 surrender or
submit to visit and search before at
tempting to seize them by force. The
observance of this rule Of naval war
fare tends to prevent the loss Of life
of non-combatants and the destruc-
ton of innocent neutral property
which would result from sudden at
tack.
9. If, however, before a summons
to surrender is given, merchantmen
of belligerent nationality, aware of
the approach of an enemy warship,
uses its armament to keep the enemy
at distance, or after it has been
summoned to surrender it resists or
fees, the warship may properly exer-
else force to compel surrender.
10. If the merchantmen finally sur
renders, the belligerent warship may
release it or take it into custody. In
the case of an enemy merchantmen it
may be sunk, but only if it is impos-
sible to take it into port, and pro-
vided always that the persons on
board are put in place of safety. In
the case of neutral merchantmen,
the right to sink it in any circum-
stance is doubtful.
IL. A merchantmen entitled to ex-
ercise the right of self-prosection may
do so when certain of attack by an
enemy warship, otherwise the exer-
else of the right would be so restricted
