IMPROPER PASSPORT Use
PROBED BY AUTHORITIES
State Department Investigates Issu-
ance Of One to Capt. Hans Boehm
Under Another Name.

State Department authorities today
began 6. thorough investigation into
the issuance and alleged improper use
of an American passport in the name
of Jelks Leroy Thrasher, with which
Capt. Hans Boehm, said to be a Ger
man army officer. was travelling from
Spain to Holland when taken off q
steamer at Falmouth and placed under
arrest by the British authorities. Work
also was begun on new passport regu-
lations, which will be issued in a few
days, to throw further safeguards
around their issuance and to prevent
their use improperly.
All persons connected in any way
with the issue Of the Thrasher pass
port either have been or will be called
to account by agents of the Depart
ment Of Justice. Available informa-
ton makes it appear that persons in
Quitman, Ca, who wrote letters
Identifying Boehm as Thrasher, for
mer resident of that town, were hood
winked. Boehm, it is said, wrote under
Thrasher'S name. requesting the let

Thrasher before a notary, will be called
upon to explain. The State Depart

bottom. as this is the first instance in
many months where the elaborate re-
vised passpor: regulations have failed
Department experts were at once set
to work revising the regulations.
Legal officers of the government are
looking into the question of extradit-
ing Capt. Boehm to the United States,
