Virginia Judge Upheld.

Washington, March 7.-British
claimants Of the German prize ship

their suit in the Supreme court to re-

German prizes, unaccompanied by the
captor warship, to indefinite American
asylum. Jurisdiction of American
courts over the Appam was upheld.
Findings of Federal Judge Waddill
of Virginia that the Appam violated
American neutrality, after being
brought into Hampton roads year
ago by Capt. Hans Berg and German
prize crew, were sustained and ap-
proved by the court.
Justice Day gave the courts rulings
and recounted in detail how the APP

fered the German captors.
Justice Day said the usual course
would have been to take the vessel to
q German port Instead, the vessel
was brought over 5000 miles to lay up

ciples, he added, would not permit
United States ports to be used as
places to lay up prizes.
The decision was unanimous.

TWO SEIZED IN NEW YORK
Two Men Are Arraigned in Supposed
Conspiracy Unearthed at Hoboken.
N. j., to Blow Up Muni--
ton Plants.

New York, March 7.-Dr. c. Hama
!dor Chakiaberty, Hindu physician,
and DR.. Ernest Sckunner, thirty-four
years old, described as German, were
arrested on charges of conspiracy to
set up a military expedition against
foreign country on friendly relations
with the United States. The police say
the men confessed that they had plot
ted under direction of Wolf Won Igel
to invade India by way of China.
From Won Igel, according to the po-
lice Doctor Challlabefty and Sckun-
ner, who have been suspected for some
time, received 100000, and the Hindu,
posing as Persian merchant, obtained
a passport, which enabled him to get
to Berlin. In this connection an addi-
tional charge of fraudulently obtaining
a passport has been made against the
physician.
Doctor Chakiaberty according to the
confession attributed to him, revealed
his plans of an invasion of India TO
certain officials in Berlin, then re-
turned to New York, where he and Won
Igel prepared printed matter in various
native Indian languages. In the
house in West One Hundred and
Twentieth street, where the two men
were arrested, the police seized large
quantities of this and found alsoa COM
plete chemical laboratory.
SOUGHT Connivance of China,
After the printed matter was pre-
pared, the police say, Doctor ChaBia-
berty and Sckunner employed as their
agent an influential Chinaman, whom
they sent to his native country with
the Idea of interesting his government
from the United States to China,
where, with the Chinese governments
permission, they were to be stored I'M
til the time set for the invasion,
The police say the two men admit
they have heard nothing from their
Chinese representative, and do not
know what success, if any, he had.

Fusionists May Pick
Candidates for All
Offices in County
Committee Waiting for Mitchell
to Say He Will Run
Again

The committee on nominations Of the
Fusion Committee of 1917 held its first
meeting yesterday at the Office of
George W. Wickersham, 40 Wall
Street. Mr.. Wickersham presided, in
the absence of Senator Ogden L. Mills.
The latter is expected soon to get a
commission with General Pershing in
France, in which event Mr.. Wicker
sham will be made permanent chair
man.
The committee had an informal dis
cussion as to whether fusion nomina-
tions should be confined to the city
ticket-that is, to members of the Board
of Estimator should include county
Offices and the judiciary. Under in
structions from the executive commit
tee the nominating committee will con-
fine itself for the present to city Of
fees, but it is considered likely that
the committee will be empowered later
to nominate candidates all down the
line. Candidates were not discussed
yesterday. The fusionists are still
waiting for Mayor Mitchel's formal dec
laration that he will accept renomina-
ton.
Several members of the nominating
committee are in favor OF renominating
John j. Hopper for Register. Hopper
was elected as an independence League
representative on the fusion ticket.
If the committee decides TO nominate
for county Offices it will put a candi-
date for Sheriff in the field. as we'll as
candidates for the county offices in the
other boroughs. In the judiciary there
are two vacancies on the Supreme
Court bench in both Manhattan and
Brooklyn. and five City Court justices
TO be elected in Manhattan and The
Bronx. An Associate Judge of the
Court of Appeals will also be elected
this fall.
The Brooklyn Republican situation
at present is causing concern 20 mem
bers of the Fusion Committee. The
regular Kings County Republican lead
ers threaten to go into the primaries
and nominate a straight Republican
ticket, with Justice James c. Cropsey
for Mayor.
Mayor Mitchell has indicated that he
will not run again unless all elements
are united in fusion. The Brooklyn
anti-Mitchel crowd evidently are play
ing waiting game before they fall
into line, as the fusion leaders believe
they will ultimately. in hope that the
Cropsey candidacy can be forced far
enough 10 make Mayor Mitchell with
draw. Mayor Mitchels friends, how
ever, believe that any such tactics
will result only in arousing the Mayors
fighting spirit. when it appears that
the Brooklynites are really trying to
take the nomination away from him.
