ed by General RaouI Madero, giving
 him six months leave of absence from
 the Mexican Federal army, which
 could be extended. He had some dried
 fish skins from Mexico in his room,
 which the painstaking detectives from
 Scotland Yard, cut up into small pieces
 and soaked in water to see if anything was written upon them.
 Then he was taken before a magis- trate on the charge of being a German at large without having registered himself and sentenced to- six months hard labor at PentonVille prison. While, there he, was kept in solitary confinement and was made to sew bags and carry soa1s. The food was of the poorest, and consisted of beans, soupg potatoes and fat bacon, with a dash of New Zealand mutton occa- sfonally His beard grew six inches long and he wore the prison garb, but he still kept his nonocle.
 In June, 1915, the spy was trans ferred to Brixton prison, although his time was up. and kept in solitary con- fnement with other political prisoners. In August. after repeated protests, the prisoners were allowed to converse with each other one hour each day. From Brixton he was sent to Dealing Gao1, made famous by Oscar rWi1de's poem, and was there when von Pap ems papers fell into the hands of the British last, January. Up to that tim the government officials had failed in getting a clue to VOn der Goltz's real identity. -t
 Directly his identity was disclosed the German spy was taken to Lewis jail, near Brighton, after being exam ined at Scotland Yard, and he remain ed there until March IS, when he was brought to Bow street, in London, and remained there while extradition papers were being made out to send him to New York on the Finland. The passport charge against him here was ouashed on his arrival yesterday. Cap tain Offey, in charge of the local branch of the. Department of Justice Bureau of Investigation in New, York, when asked what would be done with von der Go1tz, said that the man was not under arrest, and that he was not wanted by the Department of Justice.
 .'He may be questioned as to the 1 manner in which he obtained his pass port" Captain ,Offey said, ''but I do not think he can be prosecuted here for anything he has done. My men boarded the Finland Aon another mis- sion. and met von der Goltz in the course of their duty I believe that Detective Sergeant Brust is on secret which I am not at liberty to divuIge.''
 It has not been decided whether the English detective will remain here to take his prisoner back or go to Lon don and return later. Won der Goltz was handed over to the care of the Department of Justice yesterday after noon.
 In November, 1913. he says, he rem dered a service to the State Depart ment by stealing confidential papers relating to negotiations by Japan with Mexico to obtain a naval base on the Pacific coast which were being carried by a Mexican secret agent from Mex ico City to Tokio.

Washington, March 29-A navy with 250, 1000 men would be needed by the United State in time of war, As sistant Secretary Roosevelt yesterday told the House Naval Committee. TIngland's naval force had been treb- led since the war, he said, and added that the United States probably would need large an increase in a, con Hict-
 Roosevelt gave it as his opinion that the United States navy was not st1f- 1lclent tc cope with 8, first class power if the American policy were to pro tect all its coast possessions and re1a- tions with American countries
 Comparing the American navy with Germans, s. the assistant secretary de cIared.. Germans cost much less to build dnd maintain as did Japan's, and that the higher pay of American of ficers accounted for a large part of the grAater expense compared with the German fleet.

 He said the United States navy should be restored to second pIacel

 Mir Roosevelt declined to discuss policy questions on the ground that policy is solely within the jurfsdic- ton of Secretary Daniels. He indors- ed the Persohne1 Boards recommen- dations to increase the Marine Corps. He favored at least three brigadier- generals, one for the fleet and one each for the Atlantic and Pacific forces. On the need for more men in the navy he added:
 'f.FuIly to man all the ships in ser vice today which are not rated as un- suitable for war purposes would take t25, ,000 more men than we now haye.''
 Secretary Daniels has written Chair maIL Padgett of the committee strong ly urging that the current Naval Bill niakep royisions for equipping the Norfolk navy yard for building bat H1esllips
