GERMAN IS SENT TO
 JAIL WHEN REFUSES
 TO ANSWER QUESTIONS

NEW YORK. March 7-Frederico Stallforth. a Mexican.German banker today was ordered committed tc the Tombs in custody of the United States marshal by Federal Judge Dayton for refusing to answer questions before the Federal Grand Jury, which is inc yestigatlng the alleged efforts of Ger man agents to foment trouble between this country and Mexico and to inst' gate strikes in munition factories.
 Stailforth was closely associated, it is said. with Franz Von Rintelen, tho reputed head of the German propa. ganda in the United States, who fled from the country under a false pass port when the Federal authorities be- gan to investigate his activities. Won Rintelen was taken off the liner on which he sailed by the British and Is now Q prisoner in Engla~d.
 The Federal authorities have been eager to find out just what relations existed between Stallforth and Von Rinteleu. but the banker has insisted that he could not be forced to answer questions on the ground that he is not a citizen of this country.
 Stallforth is the head of German Mexican bank with headquarters at Parral. Mexico. The institution is said to be one of the most important financial houses in the Southern Re. public
 While Von Rintelen was in this country he maintained headquarters in Stalforth's office in this city. anf when he sailed under the name of Ed ward V. Gates. Stallforth the Feder- al authorities say. purchased drafts on Berlin for him in that name for sums totaliing more than SSOO,OO0. The purpose of these drafts was to aid in establishing the voyagers identity as Gates.
 A mass of letters and documents ta- ken from Von Rintelen by the English authorities and turned over to tAe State Department. had spent large sums of money in Mexico. It was as- serted, however. that his Mexican schemes never bore fruit because he was forced to flee from the country before they were completed.
 When Judge Dayton said he knew of no precedent that would permit him to grant ball. Sallforth's attorney an- nounced his intention of institution certiorari proceedings. Stallforth was remanded to tho Tombs. It was con- sidered probable he would Institute habeas corpus proceedings tomorrow to obtain his release on bail pending the preparation of certiorari papers.
