San FRANCISCO. September rs
Five members OF the United States
AVIATION Corps. army recruiting
ofhcer. and two navy ensigns are said
by Federal officials to be involved In a
plot against tho government, alleged
to have been headed by Lieutenant
Erwin Friedrich Schneider, OF the Ger
man navy, and Theodore Kasinger, de-
partment store employee. both Of whom
were taken into custody here recently.
This disclosure came last night as
the result OF an order from the Depart
ment OF Justice providing for the i'm
mediate removal of Schneider and Kas-
niger from the county jail to an intern
ment camp on Angel Island, which
contains Franz Bopp former German
consul-general here. and his aid. Baron
E. II. Won Setback. former vice-consul.
The authorities refused to divulge
the nature OF the alleged participation
of the army and navy officers in the
plot. They said all Information on the
case had been sent to San Diego and
Los Angeles. where it was understood
the conspiracy centered.
At the time Schneider and Kasinger
were taken into custody. Federal agents
asserted that the two had associated
with four Austrian army officers sub
sequently detained at Laredo, Tex, and
who. It was believed, were planning to
embark from Mexico for Germany or
Austria. 1t was said they were sus-
pected Of having obtained military in
formation.

0LD-STYLE METHODS OF
DlSlNFECTiON ABANDONED
Hot Water, Sohp, Sun and Air Are
Better, Snys DR.. Roy X.
FInnuauan.

Because Of the cost attendant upon
proper fumigation. and the ineffective
ness OF the Health Departments pres
ent methods for the work as a protec-
ton against disease. Dr. Roy X. Elan
nagan. Chief Health officer. announced
Yesterday that all fumigation would be
discontinued at once. In statement,
he said that proper fumigation was
expensive and required considerable
time. which the department did not have
AZ its disposal. The prevalence of diph-
liberia in certain sections of the city
and the increased demand for fumiga-
ton brought home the improper
methods OF the department.
DR.. Flanagan, in explaining the de-
partmeni's plans. made the following
statement:
Properly to fumigate a room; that
is. to kill all dangerous germs in 1t,
it is necessary Theoretically to seal up
the room and let loose an enormous
volume of formaldehyde or other
poisonous disinfectant gases for several
hours. This we have never DONE II
is an expensive procedure. and IL clean
ing Is done, is unnecessary. The de-
partment has always relied mainly
upon the general cleanup advised The
fumiaation was simply : measure put

tees We know that fumigation does
not do what it Is designed TO do. There.
