New York. April 21-An expert n1echanic's well considered plans to blow up the Federal building and po- lice Headquarters in this city, the Weliand canal and munitions factories kt St Catherines. Ont. and other towns in Canada and the United States were frustrated when Harry L.. Newton was arrested yesterday at Grand street and the Bowery by De- kAckfve Sergeant George D. Barnitz.
 Newton, who is AZ years old and a Eitizen of the United States, had so thoroughly committed himself in con Versataor with Barnitz. who had been dfc5eering with him in the pretended rapacity of German secret agent that he did not hesitate to make a confession to Capt. Thomas Tunney at police headquarters after his arrest.
 I1isscase presents rather new angle fn the general spy situation. Newton does not pretend to have any synd- pathy for the German cause or any anzImosity toward the British or their allies. He was merely greedy for money and was ready to attempt all most any hazardous adventure if he could get his price-$5 900. For $5.000 fn cash he was ready to explode bombs In the Federal building, ir police headulIarters. in the locks of the Well land canal and in the abut1nentS Of bridges in or near this city and to blew mp or set fire to intuition fac tories.
