HOBOKEN, N. j.. March s,

HOBOKEN, N. j., March 5. -
With thearrest here today of Fritz
Kolb, German, the authorities
expressed the belief that they had
frustrated a well-developed plot
to aid Germany by blowing up mu-
milton plants in this country en-
gagged in turning out contracts for
the Entente allies. The police said
they found in Kolb's room, two
bombs which, according to rumors
that had reached them, were to be
sent to President Wilson.
After preliminary investiga-
ton, however, they announced
themselves as convinced that the
plans of the alleged plotters had
to do entirely with destroying war
supplies, and that no attack on
the Presidents life was contem-
plated.
