Rintelen, Lamar
And Martin Guilty
In Munition Plot
Jury, After 81 Hours, Fails
to Agree on Four Other
Defendants

Captain Franz Rintelen. the Kaiser's
agent and reputed relative; David La
mar, the wolf Of Wall Street" and
Henry B. Martin were found guilty last
night of conspiring to stop the ship
ment of munitions TO the Allies by TO-
menting strikes through Labor's Ma
tional Peace Council.
The jury disagreed on the four other
defendants - former Representative
Frank Buchanan, of Chicago, and first
president of the council; former Rep
resentative H. Robert Fowler, of Eliza
bethtown. H.. counsel to the organiza-
tion; Jacob L. Taylor, a labor leader
of Orange, n. j.. who succeeded Bu-
ohanan as president. and Herman
Schulteis, Of East Orange, \. j., who
tried to be named as assistant counsel
to the organization.
Captain Rintelen made this brief
statement:
"The verdict is fair and just. can
only say, and ! say II sincerely, that
were dealt with fairly and justly"
To Be Sentenced To-day
Judge Cushman, after discharging the
Jurors, set 3 o'clock this afternoon rs
The time of sentence The maximum
penalty that can be imposed is one
year in the Federal Prison and $4,000
fine. 1t is believed that Captain Rinte-
len will not be confined in Atlanta. as
Z. = nd ol
lands prisoner Of war. He Will prob
ably be sent to Ellis Island.
His activities as a German agent,
with upward of s30,000,000 at his dis
posal, have been greater than the pub
lie imagines, Federal authorities say.
He has been indicted for passport
frauds and it is also known that he is
wanted in connection with two other
German plots, one of which involved
the invasion Of Canada by German re-
servists from the United States. II is
expected that several men not yet ar
rested will be tried in conjunction with
Captain Rintelen on indictments OF
which little has been made known thus
far.
Rin.elen will also turn prosecutor on
his own behalf 10 recover $2l6,000
which he claims Lamar is withholding
from him and Sl25.000 which he claims
he turned over to an American just
before he was seized by the British at
Kirkwall.
Tells Of Plot Planned
Captain Rintelen said:
II gave Lamar s276,000 in the course
of our relations. Twenty thousand dol
lars was for Labor's National Peace
Council, and ! know that he used
$40 900 more in selling short munitions
stocks. such as Bethlehem Steel and
Remington Arms. This was part Of my
programme to depress munitions stocks.
Rut he has not accounted TO me for the
adherence. Regarding the sl25,000,
cave that TO an American--and he men
tioned his name-just before the Brit
;sh seized me at Kirkwall. The Ameri-
can has not returned the money, al
though have made demand upon him
for it" -,
The Jury had been out more thar
.birtv-one hours when IL returned Us
verd;rt Earlier in the evening the
,nrv had reported IL was deadlocked
four of the defendants. II is un-
dersns,;, that they stood eight 70 four
for the scouittsl Of Fowler, Taylor and

a text, congratulating his followers
for at least having forced the Cen
eral Staff to reverse itself and send
troops to France at once.
As to the Presidents statement that
his would be IAN independent com
mand." Colonel Roosevelt says the
Chief Executive is misinformed. This
statement he follows up by the dec
laration that in his letter to Secre-
tarv of War Baker he asked to be
made the junior br,gadier in any
command he might be permitted to
raise.

s. p. WORKS AGAINST FIRES.

A vigorous campaign of fire pro-
lection has been started by the
Southern Pacific railway among its
$4,000 employees. who have been
asked to spread the propaganda
among shippers, warehousemen and
others.
A circular recently was sent to
each employee by w. R. Scott, gen.
eral manager, urging them to ex-
ercise the utmost care in precau-
tions against fire. This circular said
in part:
"The responsibility of feeding not
only ourselves, but our allies, rests
largely upon this nation. AS all
the materials, supplies and food
stuffs necessary for our domestic
use the use of our armies and our
navy must be transported over our
railways, the necessity for fire pro-
lection becomes a patriotic duty. No
amount of insurance can replace
food and materials that are de-
stroyed."
