Kolb Plotted to
Blow Up Black
Tom Shell Plant

Hoboken, N. J., March 6.--Fritz
Kolb, German, in whose possession
two bombs and other explosive ma
terial were found yesterday, and Hans
Schwartz, arrested early today, were
held for further examination i'll court
today in connection with ar alleged
plot to blow up munitions ready for
the entente allies.
Schwartz, who says he is a chemist
81 years old was held as a suspicious
person. The police assert he has
worked in hotels and cafes in Ho-
boken at various times. Schwartz
made a long statement to Chief OF
Police Hayes, in which he revealed,
the police allege, plans for another
explosion at Black Tom, N. J., yester-
day with Kolb and himself as the
conspirators.
Schwartz, whose identity was at
first concealed, denied, the police say,
that he was connected in any way
with the Black Tom explosion last
summer Or the explosion at Kings
land. The failure OF the plot to blow
up Black Tom yesterday, the police
declare, Schwartz admitted was due
to faulty construction Of the bombs.
Kolb was identified at police head
quarters as former employe of the
Canadian Car and Foundry company
at Kingsland by Thomas Steele. a
negro, also a former worker at that
plant. Steel told the police he worked
in the same room with Kolb, where
there had been an explosion previous
to the great fire, and that of twenty
eight men employed in the room Kolb
was the one man who disappeared.
