AMERICAN WRITER'S
 PASSPORT SEIZED
Action Taken Against Thomas Curtin, Who Wis
 ited Germany Secretly

London, November 1S.-Because he went into Germany for London newspaper under the protection of an American passport, while representing that he was investigating conditions for American publications, D. Thomas Curtin of Bos- ton was yesterday called to the American embassy and there Ambassador Page, acting under instructions from the de- partment of state, demanded that Curtin surrender his passport. This he did. It is now quite possible that Curtin will not be permitted to stay in England. All though he has behind him the powerful influence of Lord Northcliffe, owner of a great group of London papers, and for whom he made the trip to Germany, Curtin is up against the defense of the realm regulations, under which he may, if the authorities desire to take action, be deported.
 FEW CASES OF KIND
 There have been very few cases dur ing the war where such drastic action has been taken. The last one of in- portance was that of James J. Arch- bald, the American who carried dis patches for Ambassador Dumba, The confiscation of a passport is a serious matter for it amounts to a repudiation Of a citizen by his own government. It also makes it impossible for the citizen ever again to obtain a passport, which, in these days, is important, as there is scarcely country now which will per- init entry unless a traveller has a pass port. As matters now stand there is only one country to which Curtin can proceed That is the United States. CURTIN FURNISHED EVIDENCE Action was taken against Curtin on evil dence which he himself furnished. In a series of articles in the Times and the Daily Mail, the two great papers of the Northcliffe group. he frankly confessed his whole procedure He left London a year ago for the purpose of visiting Ger many to obtain material for a series of articles lat the request of Lord North cliffe.'
 His instructions, he said in his first article, were to obtain, amongst other things as much military and naval in- formation as possible. In describing his preparations for the journey he said that first he returned to Boston. Fortunately, he said, his old passport had expired so he got new one from the state de partment which gave no indication of his previous travels in Germany and his visits to England.
 After a good deal of consideration. he said, T came to the opinion that I might as a base of operations use my acquaintance with Prof. Hugo Munster berg. under whom I studied psychology, and plead guilty to having enrolled that worthy Teuton in the service of the Times
 Continuing he said;
 q had secured a commission for articles for come well known American magazines and newspapers, which was my ostensi- ble reason for entering the Fatherland as a writer and I left Munsterberg with the Knowledge that so long as I re- tained strictly and absolutely within my own breast the secret that I was col lecting information for the British pub lie, my position in Germany would be at any rate safe.

JEALOUSY CAUSE OF
SPOUSE OF PICTURE
BRIDE TAKING LIFE

Jealousy led to the suicide of Ma
sakaia Higashimura Tuesday night
after he had threatened to kill his
wife, Suano, according to Japanese
who know the man. 1t is said by his
friends that for q long time he had
been brooding over his troubles with
his wife. and they do not doubt he
went to the G. s.. Holloway place to
shoot her and then end his own life.
The wife is % years old and was
a picture bride, while Higashimura
was more than 38 years old. He has
complained to friends of his wife.
Higashimura died from the ant pois-
on. The wounds in his neck, the
physicians say, were not even q con-
tributing cause as they we're little
more than deep scratches. Arrange
ments will be madefto have the man
buried or the body cremated.

KOREAN BANDIT
LIKELY TO FACE
MURDER Charge
Yee 70 Keuk, Now in Prison for
20 Years, Will Come Before
Grand Jury Next Week
CLAIM He. SHOT ENEMY
AFTER BREAKING WINDOW
Had Made Threats to Kill. and
Had Cuts on His Right Hand
When Taken After Duel

Yee Yo Keuk, Korean desperado,
who now is serving a prison sentence
of not less than five or more than 20
years for first degree robbery, may
shortly be called into Circuit Judge
first degree murder.
As a result of investigations which
have been In progress since Yee Yo
Keuk was captured at daybreak on De-
eember 9 after a running gun fight
with police and detectives, the city
and county attorneys office believes
II now has sufficient evidence to war
rant an indictment by the territorial
grand jury charging the Korean with
first degree murder, City Attorney A.
M. Brown said today. This evidence
has been slowly gathered, bit by bit,
by detectives, police and officials in
the attorneys office.
The evidence tends to link up Yee
Yo Keuk with the murder OF Chez
Wong Yer, a Korean, who was rent
collector for z. C. Winston, who was
found dead In his room in a tene-
ment on the morning that Yee was
cantured. s(=.-. .. T.. --. : ...z =.
Window Glass Broken. .s...s ...'.... =. /.
The Korean had been shot. A jag.
ged hole in the window gave evidence
that the man who had done the killing
had thrust both hand and revolver
through the glass and fired. When
Yee Yo Keuk's right hand
was found to be cut in several places.
Other evidence is that, on one occa-
sion, Yee had threatened to kill Chez
Wong Yer on the ground that the lat
ter had tipped or the police as to
the desperado's whereabouts. The
district attorneys office claims to
have other evidence linking Yee Yo
Keuk with the crime.
City Attorney Brown stated con-
clusiyely today that he will present
the case to the grand jury. A meet
ing OF the tribunal will be held at 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but 1t is
not likely that the matter viii be pre-
sented at that time. 1t will probably
be submitted to the jury a week from
Mr.. Brown says.
The penalty for first degree murder
Is death, the court having no alterna-
tive. A prison sentence cannot be
inflicted, as in convictions of second
degree murder or manslaughter.
