Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PLANS DESTRUCTION

 MANY LARGE PORTS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-Federal officials announced tonight the arrest on a presidential warrant of Franz Schulenberg, alleged to be one of the cleverest and most dangerous German spies operating on the Pacific coast. According to army officers, he planned to destroy government docks and ship ping in most of the big coast ports.
 Military authorities said Schulen- berg, under instructions from Lieuten- ant Wilhelm von Brincken, formerly military attache at the local German consulate, purchased a ton of dynamite i'll Seattle at about the time of the eX- plosion of a barge loaded with muni- tions in ISget Sound. There is evil dence, it was stated of close associa- tion between Schulcnherg and Franz von Papen, former head of the German secret service in the United States and with Ram Chandra, who is on trial in the federal courts on charge of vio- lating the neutrality of the United States.
 Information in the hands of military authorities is said to cover alleged un- neutral acts o< Schulenberg's past as folloWs
 In December, 1914, Schulenberg re- ported to von Brincken at the German consulate in San Francisco and volun- teered for service of any kind. He was sent to see Ram Chandra and was fur nished money to go to Seattle.
 Schulenberg was instructed to report | to the German consul in Seattle and i draw enough money to buy one ton of | dynamite, fifty maxim silencers, and | fifty high power rifles with ample am- intuition. He was told to take his SUD- l plies to Sumas, Wash, near the Cana = 1 dian border.
 Non Papen himself travelled to Seat tie incognito to meet Schulenberg and 1 give him S4 800. The German agent | posed as Frank WinZewslli. a Russian and secured Russian passport to fa- cilitate his trips to Canada. With Ger man money Schulenberg, it is alleged 1 bought the dynamite, guns and ammu- milton.
 l In October, 1915, Von Brincken is
 said to have sent Schulenberg to New | York to report to von Papen Vor l Papen told him he had nothing for hin
 and advised him to go to his hotel il Hoboken. N. J. That night three mer
 in the employ of von Papen entered
 Schulenbergs room, searched him, tool
 away his papers and bundled him on
 train. first giving him a ticket to Sai
 Francisco.
 In January, 1917. Schulenberg ant
 another agent were said to be in Lo

PEORIA, H., Dec. 24.-County and city authorities indicated tonight that they had obtained evidence which they termed important in connection with the staying yesterday of Berne M. Mead, cashier of the State Trust and Savings Bank, by E. A. Strause, it's president. None of the officials would comment on the discoveries they said they had made. It was learned. how ever. that the revolver which was used by Strause was his own property and not the one which belonged to the bank as had been supposed at first. Finger print experts are at work on elements of the case in an effort to obtain evil dence that might tend either to con- firm or to contradict Strause's version of the staying.
 Coroner William B. Elliott an- nounced that the inquest into the shooting would not be held until Wed nesday.
 Business at the bank continued today without any unusual circumstances.

TEN THOUSAND MEN OF METAL UNION
 LIKELY ID STRIKE
IRepublIcan A. p. Leased wireI

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. PA strike of 10000 metal trades unionists in the San Francisco bay region seemed inevitable when members of the two larger employers organizations voted unanimously late today 10 refuse to grant the employees demands for d 10 per cent wage increase in addition to the 31 per cent advance granted recently by the federal shipbuilding wage adjustment board, according to members of the executive board.
 Fred V. Metcalf, secretary of the California Metal Trades association, announced that the shops would re- main open and would endeavor to op- crate despite the threatened strike.
 The meeting was attended by ap- proximately 30 members of the Cali fornia Metal Trades and the San Fran cisco Foundrymen's association.
 Labor leaders said the strike would he called Wednesday, and would be continued until the 10 per cent increase was met or the men were decisively beaten.
 While the meeting was in progress n telegram from Howard E. Coffin chairman of the federal aircraft pro- duction board. which urged the men to defer strike action, was read.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 24.-Wil- liam Hood and G. F. Voetter, arrested in connection with the police investi- gation of the dynamiting of the gov ernor's mansion here Monday night, were arraigned before United States Commissioner Martin l. Welsh today on a charge of unlawfully transporting dynamite on a passenger train engaged in interstate traffic. Their hearing was set for January 5, and their bail fixed at $10,000 each.
 Hood and Voetter have been identi fled as two men seen Friday night and again Saturday morning on the capitol grounds here. according to the police.
 A metal clasp from suitcase ana several bits of a pressed paper suit case were found today imbedded in post at the rear of the executive mani son by a carpenter who was repairing the damage wrought by the explosion.
 They were delivered to Chief Con- ran who said he believed the evidence may prove of value in locating the re- sponsible persons. The discovery in the opinion of Chief Conran has es- tabished that the dynamite was in a suitcase which was placed against the foundation wall.
 Forty three other men arrested in raids on the Industrial Workers of the World headquarters or who were taken into custody subsequent to the cap ture Saturday of Hood and Voetter on street here shortly after they had received from an express office a box which contained dynamite still were | being detained by the police for in vestgation by federal authorities as to 1 their connection with the alleged con ! spiracy.
 ] The men will be turned over to the | federal authorities some time this week according to the police.
 1 A mass of documents. Industrial Workers of the World literature and letters, some of which were said to have contained references to explosions in various parts of the United States were being held as evidence by the | police.
 Hood, when arraigned today, stated that he had shipped the dynamite from Smart, Cal. He said he made the state ment to eXonerate Voetter
 The explosive was to be used, Hood said, on prospecting trip. He ex plained the presence of the soap packed in the box with the dynamite, saying the dynamite was less likely to ex- lode if 1t was packed with soap.

 Neither the men in the army nor the men engaged in doing vital work for the army in connection with rail- roads, factories, mines and shipyards should be allowed to waste strength and health in drink at this time The same reasons that render it necessary to prohibit the sale of liquor to sol diers in uniform, or within a given
