INDICTMENTS FOR
THE VIOLATION OF
NEUTRALITY LAWS
The German and Turkish
Consul Generals at San
Francisco Are Among
Those Accused.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Weeks of in
vestigation by agents of the depart
ment of justice resulted In the voting
of indictments yesterday by federal
grand jury in San Francisco against
prominent figures in what is consid-
cred here to be two of the boldest plots
involving questions of American neu-
trality that have been uncovered since
the European war began.
Among those against whom indict-
ments were voted, according to a mes
sage received here. are Franz Bopp,
German consul general; Baron e. H.
Won Shack, vice consul of Germany.
and Maurice Hall, the Turkish consul
general.
Consular officers do not enjoy the
diplomatic immunities which ambas-
sadors, ministers and attaches are
given by international law, but are
subject to the jurisdiction of the coun-
try in which they are resident and
may be treated by the law as are any
other persons. The indictments voted
yesterday, however, are the first which
the American government has attempt
ed to secure against any foreign repre-
mean that hereafter the administra-
tion means to prosecute any offender
against American neutrality.
Plot to Cripple Plants.
Bopp and Won Setback are charged
with completely In the plot which was
first uncovered several weeks ago with
the arrest of C. C. Crowley. alleged to
be pro- German agent, who had un-
dertaken to cripple the American out
put of munitions Of war and In other
ways to help the cause of the Teu-
tonic allies. Bopp is accused OF being
the head of n conspiracy which hoped
to accomplish this and by interfering
with trade in munitions and prevent
ing railway shipments by blowing UP
two tunnels on Canadian roads.
The German officials are being pro-
ceeded against under the Sherman
antitrust act in connection with their
alleged activities against American
plants and under section OF the penal
code aimed at the setting on foot OF
military expeditions against a friendly
nation in connection with plans to blow
up Canadian railway tunnels.
To Supply Ships of War.
The indictment Of the Turkish con
sui general was voted in connection
with the use of the steamer Sacra :
mento to supply German ships OF war
in the south Pacific which ended In
the internment Of that vessel by the
Chilean government many months ago
According to officials here the Sac
ramento case is one OF the clearest that
has come to their notice of the use OF
an American port as a base of supplies
for belligerent warships and OF false
clearance papers to get the supply ship
past the customs authorities.
There are two counts to the indict-
ment, to both which Teiper pleaded
not guilty. Application for bail was

iowa COMMISSIONER
MAKES THE CHARGES
Declares That the Supreme
Court Appointee Conced-
ed the Very Point at Is
sue in Hearing of Western
Rate Case.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Clifford Thorne,
of the Iowa railway commission, was
a witness today in the senate judiciary
committee hearing into the nomination
of Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme
court. He told the committee he be-
lieved Brandeis, in the hearing of the
shippers against the increased freight
rates proposed by eastern roads, was
guilty of infidelity, breach of faith and
unprofessional conduct in connection
with the rate hearing. Thorne said
Brandeis, in the case. conceded the
very point at issue at the time the case
was set down for argument.
Thorne said Brandeis in open court
at the hearing while acting as special
counsel committed himself to the prop
osition that net return Of 71a per cent
above all expenses and all interest on
debts on capital stock of railroads was
inadequate, or to use Brandeis own
word, negligible" This had been held
adequate by the interstate commerce
commission in 1910. Thorne said
when he first received a copy of
Brandeis brief in the rate case he was
surprised to find nothing In 1t about
ln0 dueQudtN OF f1C asked BTan-
deis what his position was to be and
the latter responded that he believed
some of the roads were not earning
enough money. He thought conditions
were unsatisfactory in Ohio, Michigan
and Indiana.
Reads From Brandeis' Argument.
Thorne read from Brandeis' oral ar
gument showing that Brandeis ad-
mitted on the whole that the net in
come and net operating revenue in
this official classification territory was
smaller than consistent with the pros
perity and welfare Of the public.
"I was simply dumbfounded by the
statement" declared Thorne. For
four years the railroads had been
fighting to establish that before the
interstate commerce commission. They
carried on a nation wide propaganda
in newspapers, magazines, speeches
and in every manner conceivable. l am
not saying dishonesty I was dumb
founded to hear at the conclusion OF
the case involving $4,000, 900 annually
interest on a billion dollars-if you
adopt the standard of dollars and
cents. the greatest case ever tried be-
before a human tribunal since the
dawn of civilization-to hear counsel
concede the very point at issue at the
time the case was set down for argu-
ment"

THIS DOG WAITS ALL NIGHT

Petersburg, Ind.-Strother Insler, a
young farmer living near Union, Pike

A few minutes later the dog re-
turned, and not finding Ingler, looked

lily. Ingler's father saw the dog, but
paid no attention to his barking. 1t

NAVY NEEDS MANY NEW MEN
Campaign for Recruits Planned by Of
ficials to Show Young Fellows Ad-
vantages of Service.

Neutrality-suspicious. for an active en-
listment campaign have been put on
foot by the navy department to pro-
cure the sailors and marines provided
for in the recent preparedness legisla-
ton. More than $500 recruits month
will be required to bring the navy up
to the 10000 authorized increase in
personnel.
Judging from the army's experience
in the past few months naval officers
realize they will have hard time
finding suitable young men. Even
during the Mexican crisis army en-
listments seldom were more than 5000
n month.
The navy will Immediately begin an
educational campaign. Literature de-
scribing life on mnn-of-war will
be scattered nationwide, and mo-
ton pictures poruaying the romance
of sailors life will be made. The
navy intends to go into the rural dis
tricts, and there as well as in the
big showhouses of the metropolitan
sections will the life of Uncle Sans
guardians of the waves be thrown on
tne screens.
Special inducements have been ar
ranged by congress to tempt young
men to take up the service as pro-
fession. Pensions and bonuses for
long time enlistments have been pro-
vided and the departments literature
will call attention to the opportunities
of the seamen to provide II nest egg
against the incapacity of old age.
The $500 men n month needed will
20 partly toward the authorized in
crease and partly toward filling up
the gaps created through honorable
discharges. The department expects
considerable decrease in the per
centage of men quitting the service
owing to the special inducements that
are now being offered.
In recent years recruits have been
none too plentiful, as there is con
siderable ignorance as to how well
the navy really pays and what
chances it offers young man to see
the world and save money. The navy
intends to dispel this ignorance.
