Second Steward on Dutch
Liner Held on Charge of
Trying to Smuggle Letter

An Atlantic Port, February 9-Rlent So
bering, second steward on the Dutch
liner Nieu Amsterdam. which arrived
here Thursday was held in $25, 900 bail
by federal commissioner today on a
charge that he attempted to smuggle mail
into the United States.
One letter. which Soldering is said to
have admitted he tried to hide in the
smoking room of the ship, was presented
In evidence. 1t was made up of series
Of disconnected sentences and showed
that number of persons, had par
ticipated in its preparation. Federal
agents declared it was evidently code
letter.
A somewhat romantic explanation Of
the letter, which is in a woman's hand
writing, was given by Soldering. He
denied that it had hostile significance, de-
claring that 1t was written by a Rot
terdam Divorce to her sweetheart in
Boston. In substance Soldering asserted
1t was an inquiry as to why the writer
had not heard from the addressee re-
Gently, with various mysterious and
vague side references.
When asked why he had tried to hide
an innocent love note from the govern
ment officials, the man made no reply
Soldering claims to be native of Rot
terdafn, and to have been in Germany
only once in his life, when he was touring
Europe Is years ago.
