NEW YORK. April iS.-Captain
Hans Tauscher. husband OF the grand
opera singer. Nine. Johanna Gadski,
and an officer in the German Army
reserve, was arraigned in the federal
court here today for a hearing on the
charge that he headed q conspiracy TO
blow up the Welland Canal between
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Canada.
The government declares that the
plot to destroy the artificial connec-
ton between the two lakes was
Matched just after the war begun,
either in Germany or while Capt.
Tauscher was on MS way to this
country at the command OF the
Kaiser's government.
Hans Won der Goltz, the German spy
reprieved by the British government
so that he could come here from Lon
don to give evidence C German plots
on American soil, is believed to have
revealed damaging facts about Taus-
cher. II is reported that he also has
shown the connection of Capt. Won
Papen, the recalled German Military
Attache at Washington. with the al
legged Tauscher plot.
In the affidavit on which as a basis
Tauschcr was arrested several weeks
ago, he is formally accused with AL
fred A. Fritzen by U. S. secret SER
vice agent of starting a plot to dyna.
mite the canal, the conspiracy origi-
mating about August Is, 1914. Capt.
Tauscher and Fritzen are alleged to
have procured high explosives and

have gone to Niagara Falls, n. Y.
Five men were in the party that left
New York 10 blow up the canal. They
went armed with revolvers supplied,
il is said. by German agents. Arriving
at Niagara Falls, everything was ready
TO carry the conspiracy into effect
when something happened that caused
postponement of the enterprise.
What that was has not been disclosed
by the government. One official said
the postponement might have been
due TO cold feet"
