tDr. Heinrich r. Albert. who has an
office at IS broadway. New York. In the
Hambure-American Steamship Com
pany's building, figured In revelations
last summer as an important factor In
the handling OF German money in
America. He received moy letters
from the German Embassy at Washing
ton and o number of documents from
Capt. Won Papen and Capt. Boy-Ed. For
q time he was ono OF the chief German
financial agents In America. His title
was imperial counsellor to the German
Embassy. lie accidently lost a dossier
containing many papers OF Importance
to the German representatives In
America and after that his activities
fell of to u great extent.1
Capt. Won Hupen was equipped with a
cafe conduct. but this only applied to the
safety of his body. 1t did not com
prise In any sense his carrying docu-
ments to the enemy.
Capt. Won Papen was evidently un-
aware OF this limitation. but there Is no
doubt that Capt. Boy-Ed. who sailed a
week later, was appraised by wireless. as
when he was searched at the same port
where Archibald and Capt. Won Papen
yielded such a harvest the result was
barren. Whether the officials expected
Capt. Won Papen TO carry anything OF i'm
portance IL not known, but there Is no
doubt that never In their most sanguine
hopes did they imagine that he was
equipped with such voluninous and in
eliminating letters and documents.
Their extent cin be imagined when II
10 remembered that the dossier was pre-
scented to the embassy only to-day and
that photographs Of the originals are not
yet fnl he'd for presentation. Capt. Won
Fapen carried quite openly ;he stubs
OF his check books. in which like a me-
thodlcal German he had inscribed such
Illuminating BITS as are stanced in the
oases OF kuerfe.l lie and HON.
Won Papen's Bank Books Found.
These are not isolated asses, but are
examples Of the general run OF the dos
sier. When further details become
known they will enable the United States
tn lay hands upon practically all the
German agents who have been u, the
pay of Capt. Won Papen since the out
break OF the German propaganda In the
United States.
CAPT. Won Papcn also accommodate
ingly carried along his bank books show
ing how his salary was in one account.
while special financial transactions were
carried on through another account.
Illuminating also were letters from
bankers informing him OF payments
made into his variou accounts by the
German Embassy and by Ambassador
Won Bernstorff.
Some idea Of the extent of his trans
actions may be obtained by the fact
That In January, 1915. he had a balance
IN one account OF $3.50. He received
from the embassy $1,000 and paid out
$4,000. HIS carefulness to keep his ac-
counts even IN small detail is shown by
the entry that he paid sos for his fare
we'll dinner. Even his laundry bills
are ~re.ig.ously entered.
. AZ one time this account fell short
and he was obliged to draw an over
draft but this was Immediately cleared
up. When Won papcn left the United
States HI stIll had n balance in this par
ticular account Of $500.
Capt. Won fapen's Seattle expendi-
lures, so far as they are totalled at
present, amount to 81 500. Just how
much Capt. Won Papen spent in his cam
paign In the United States the corre-
spondent OF THE SUS is unable to learn
at the omen hut the isolated items
which are gwen indicate that with his
agents ram.fying the country these
stories Of hundreds of thousands are
seeming y well founded
