because Of his reputation for break

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-Coinci-
dent with the announcement to-day
that Franz Schulenburg, German spy
held prisoner in the San Francisco
county jail, has made partial confes-
sion, Federal investigators declared
that a mysterious woman agent OF the
Kaiser, carrying credentials from the
Wilhelmstrasse which show her to be
one of the highest ranking and most
trusted agents OF the far-reaching
Teuton espionage system, is sought in
connection with the case.
Documents seized on Schulenburs
show that the woman, known by sim
gle initial, n directed his movements
from the outbreak of war in the sum-
mer Of 1914, irst from Berlin, and, dur
ing the last year, from San Francisco.
She was last seen with him in Santa Bar
bara, two days before his arrest. The
cultured appearance OF the woman,
together with the fact that an elderly
woman accompanied her, delayed her
arrest until she disappeared at the
time Schulenburg was seized. Officials
say she was an agent of Wolf Won Igel.
The master woman spy is described
as being a brunette OF medium stature.
with "black, swapping eyes" She is
about thirty-iive years old and speaks

Schulenburg's confession. as made
public to-day, connects him directly
with the Hindu revolt trial now in
progress in this city.

gators declare, that he bought \ ton of
