SECRET WIRELESS
PLANTS FOUND IN
COSTA RIGA CITY
New York Firm Offered
100000 to Start Revolu-
tion in Republic

San Jose, Costa Rica, May PA
far reaching plot to overthrow the
present government of Costa Rica, of
which President Federico Tinoco is
the head, has been uncovered by the
authorities. The former President, AL
fredo Gonzales. who was deposed last
January, at which time Tinoco as
sumed control, other officials of the
former government and Germans resi-
dent here and in the United States
are alleged to be implicated. "A Ger
man firm in New York is declared to
have furnished 100000 for the Or
ganiZation Of a revolutionary move
ment.
The brothers of the ex-President
made an attempt to leave Costa Rica,
but were prevented by the authori-
ties, and the parents and sisters of
Gonzales, who received permission to
leave the country, took refuge in the
American Legation, where they still
are, in spite of the fact that their
safety has been guaranteed.
Recently Germans resident here
have been showing marked activity.
Three wireless stations have been dis
covered at Heredia, the home city of
Gonzales, one of the plants connect
ed with the city electric plant being
unusually powerful. Other y wireless
installations have been found in the
coast regions of San Carlos and Col
orado.
Recently there has been establish
ed not far from the Panama frontier
a. lumber camp. where three hundred
men are engaged. They have under
their control several gaso1ene launch
es and vast quantities of gaso1ene. It
is reported that wireless at this
place has communicated with Heredia
and also with a fireless plant on the
Pacific coast which the Costa Rica
officials are now endeavoring to To-
cate.
It is stated officially that a wealthy
German, Karl Freise. who recently ar
rived from Panama, was detained for
an examination of his papers, and
many important facts were learned
through these documents. Another
German named Kumpel, who has been
acting as an adviser to Gonzales, has
been ordered exi1ed.
In view of these disclosures and
the frequent trips abroad of recognize
ed friends of Gonzales, as well as the
extraordinary activity of Germans in
this country, the Costa Rican Con-
gress has granted the government full
powers "to maintain the policy the
Costa Rican people wish to maintain
which is adherence in every way to
the side of the United States and the
Entente Allies.'
Special precautions have been taken
with respect to German residents, and
search is being made for additional
wireless stations, as we'll as reported
accommodations of gasolene. LThelau-
thorities are making a particular eff
fort to find German submarine bases
along the unfrequented parts of the
coast. ~
