boards bearing tho names Of the hos

century that merchants dealing In 9TH

erect signs over their doors.
Once started. the custom spread rap
idly, and the seventeenth century was
a period OF prosperity for tho sign

the houses and shops were not num-
bered. SO u bridesmaids place Of BUSH

The ingenuity of the merchants was

ing Germany.
New York, Feb. 20.--Agents OF the
department Of Justice arrested here
last night two men charged with vio-
lating the federal law against carrying
ON military enterprise against for
eign country. They are accused OF
conspiring to obtain military informa-
ton in England to be sent to this coun-
try and then forwarded to Germany.
The men gave their names as Alder,
A Sander and Charles w. Wunnen-
burg. The complaint against them was
signed by Judge Learned Hand, OF the
United States district court. 1t charg-
ed them with conspiring to employ
agents to obtain maps, photographs
and other military information in Eng
land and Ireland for the benefit of Ger
many.
The charges were prepared by John
C. Knox, assistant prosecutor In charge
Of the criminal branch of the depart
ment of justice. Sander, who is 30
years old, is president Of the Central
powers war films exchange in this city.
Wunnenburg. 40 years old, Is his as
sistant. Counsel for the accused SAID
~SSAA
naturalized citizen Of the United States
for twenty-five years.
According to William B. Offer, divi-
sion superintendent Of the department
Of justice, the men are accused Of send
ing to Great Britain, agents who OBJ
tanned information Of military impor-
lance which was transmitted to this
country in letters and packages writ
ten in invisible ink. This information,
it is alleged, was disseminated in the
United states to agents Of the central
powers, but chiefly to those Of Ger
many.
The federal agents investigation is
said to have involved at least fifteen
so-called newspaper men employed by
Sander and Wunnenburg and order by
them to England and Ireland. The
military data obtained by them was
brought to this country, 1t is charged,
by some Of their number travelling as
American citizens. Women frequently
were used, sometimes innocentlY, 1t
was said, to carry this information.

Steel Corporations defense to tho gov.-
ernment's dissolution suit was assailed
today in a lengthy brief by the gov-
eminent in the supreme court. The
government contends that the corpora
ton was formed for the exploitation
OF the public" The government an
swers the corporations contention
with the statement that it is not a
monopoly with the declaration that the
corporation controls the output Of
more than so per cent Of production in
almost every branch Of it's activity and
has maintained prices, notably in the
case of steel rails. to the extent that
competitors virtually have followed the
prices fixed by the corporation.
