SUSPECT PLOT TO

mutcation SerHical

SAN FRANCISCO, August l2-- Is
there plot to free the Germans who
are being held at Angel 1slandf Fed.
eral agents believe that there is such
plot and that Patrick Farrally was
merely tool of those higher up. This
is the theory upon which they we're
working yesterday. -.
While the contents Of the packet OF
letters which was found on Farrally,
a Waterman Of the immigration ser.
vice, when he was arrested nenr the
quarters of Franz Bopp on Friday,
have not been made public IL is sur.
missed that it was these letters which
started the secret service men on the
lipe of investigation which they are
reported to have undertaken. The fact
that $4,000 was found upon him fur.
Their leads to the belief that he was in
the employ of others who supplied him
literally with funds to carry out the
designs which they had formed.
No hearing of Farrally before the
United States Commissioner was had
yesterday and he is still held on charges
Of seeking military information to
which he was not entitled and with
seeking to bride employees of the gov.
eminent. .

WASHINGTON, August l2--Provost
Marshal Crowder dwelt with renewed
emphasis yesterday on the fact that the
Seleetive Draft Bill was passed by con

whole and not Of the individual, and
further frightened the regulations relat-

The government has taken the lead
in close scrutiny of the cases Of en-.

them. Bureau chiefs are required 10
furnish afiidavits TO that effect where
they hold that an employe is indispeni
sable to the department in which he i
employed and that his services are alb.
solutely necessary TO IL.
In HIS orders to the examination
boards issued yesterday Crowder called
attention to this and insisted that the
board must make similar requirements

that there must be indisputable evi.

boards in each instance before they
