HELD TO GRAND JURY FOR
FAILURE TO REGISTER

Chicago. Nov. 19.-Joseph W. Moth
was arraigned today on technical
charge of failing to register for selec-
tive service and was held to the fed
eral grand jury under $4,000 bonds. He
was unable to furnish bail.
Government officials said they were
inclined to believe that Moth had a
mania for amateur detective work. and
that his correspondence with Count
Won Bernstorff and Baron Won Reis-
witz, before the United States entered
the war. was In the nature Of negotia-
tions to enter the German secret SER
vice. Later, they said, this mania led
him to attempt to get place in the
United States secret service. He told
officials he was the head OF private
detective agency.
Moth admitted he was of draft age.
and said he failed to register because
he believed he could serve the United
States better AZ a spy. but said he was
now willing to enter the army.
