WOOL MERCHANT
 AGENT OF HUNS

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-Eugene Schwerdt, one of the most promi- nent business men in this city, and a wealthy wool merchant, was today arrested by government agents as an alien enemy. He is charged with being an agent of German interests and seeking to corner the worlds wool market.
 His activities have been under the eyes of secret service operatives for several weeks, and much evidence has been secured against him, ac- cording to federal officials making the arrest. He will probably be interned until the end of the war.
 Schwerdt is alleged to have pur- chased and stored from two to three millions of dollars worth of wool which was intended for use by Ger many after the war. The shortage of wool and the resultant high pric- es caused the abandonment of this idea. The wool was placed on the market by the German interests and the profits accruing from the sale were sent to Germany.

Bryan will be summoned here to appear as witnesses in the prosecu- tion of the thirty-one Hindu plot. ters who endeavored to foment revolution upon American territory against the British rule in India.

MURDER CHARGE NOW DISMISSED
 BY THE STATE
Associated Pressl


 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 25.- On the motion of District Attorney Fickelt this afternoon a murder charge against Israel Weinburg was dismissed. This charge and indict- ment was made in connection with the preparedness day bomb outrages. There are still six more indictments pending against Weinburg.
 The action of Attorney Fickert in this case is believed to be the fore runner of a change in the states attitude in the cases against Thos. Mooney and Warren K. Billings, both of whom have been convicted in connection with these murders. Billings is now serving life term in the state penitentiary, and Moon ey is under death sentence, having been convicted of first degree mur- der. The other indictments against Weinburg will probably be dismissed.
 After Investigating the cases, the Presidents commission, looking into labor conditions on the Pacific coast, reported that there was great chance for error in the convictions of Mooney and Billings and recom- mended that the President use his influence with Governor Stevens, of California, to secure retrial in both cases This action is thought to have resulted in the dismissal of the case against Weinburg and given the cases an entirely new complexion.
