PLOT TO SMUGGLE
NOTE TO DENMARK

NEW YORK. June 1s.-Charlss
Emil Stangeland. widely known polit-
teal economist and husband OF Karis
Michaelis stangsland, the novelist, IS
held here today by Federal agents
under $4,000 bail charged with vio-
lating the trading with the enemy
act by conspIring 10 smuggle a mys-
FERROUS message into Denmark.
Stangeland was arrested yesterday
in Bethlehem, Pa. where he was en-
ployed as a statistician for the Beth
lehem Shipbuilding Corporation.
Federal agents say that Stangeland
conspired on May &c with Gustave
Ragnar Lindgren TO convey, through
Lindgren, instead Of through the
mails, a communication address to
his wife, who Is living in Copenhagen.
Six persons named in the communi-
cation were to receive copies OF the
letter after II reached Denmark, in
telligence bureau officials assert.
The facts set forth in the letters
are Of such a nature that officials
declare they could not be intended
merely as general imagination for
friends. On the other hand, they
say the information would be Of great
value to the enemy.
LindgTen is also held in connection
with the affair. The letter was found
in his baggage when he attempted
10 sail. Stangeland was born in Iowa
thirty-seVen years ago

Publication of
"Puck," a Hearst
Weekly, Is Ended

William Randolph Hearst's comic
weekly, puck" has suspended publica
ton. The cause of its demise is said
to be a withered circulation.
When the last issue was distributed
August .he newsdealers were told it
would be the final number. In reply to
their queries the Hearst circulation
men spoke Of the difficulties Of getting
print paper.
Since it's founding in 1876 by Joseph
keppler and Adolph Schwartzmann
"Puck's" motto has been, What fools
these mortals be-"
This is the second of the Hearst
publications to suspend this year. The
New York Dcutsches Journal" also
Hearst owned, suspended publication
last April. The Hearst announcement
stated that this was patriotic sacri-
fee.
Julian Gerard, brother Of the former
is treasurer Of "Puck" and most of the
Hearst publications. Asked about the
suspension of "Puck" Mr.. Gerard said:
II don't know thing about it. Why
don't you call up Hearst. He's the

All the other officials and editors of
"Puck" went to the country when it
was decided to stop publishing. This
decision was reached by board which
from time to time reviews the money
