May Get Naval Trial
Jurisdiction of Germans Case
Hangs Upon Result of
Conference
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Whether
Walter Spoermann, alleged German
spy, now held at Baltimore by the De-
partment of Justice, is to be prose-
cutcd or released is to be determined
tomorrow, when Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels and Attorney General
Gregory will review the evidence
against him. If the evidence warrants
prosecution, the officials likewise will
determine whether the alleged offence
brings Spoermann within the juris-
dicton of the navy for trial by court
martial, or whether his trial should be
held in the Federal Court. with the De-
partment of Justice as prosecutor.
While there was an apparent dspo-
sition on the part of the Department
of Justice to minimize the allegation
against Spoermann. Secretary Daniels
very frankly declared that the case was
one whlcn should not be dismissed
hastily. Nothing more serious than
violation of the provisions Of the alien
enemy act, the Department of Justice
asserts, can be charged against Spoer-
mann.
At the conference of the officials to-
morrow all the evidence gathered bv
the Naval Intelligence Bureau will be
su6mltted to the Attorney General. All
information gathered by the Depart
ment OF Justice also will be gone over.
At the conclusion of the conference
Danlels said joint statement would
oe given out announcing what dispo
sl'lon IS TO be made of the suspect.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Evidence
which will play part in the treason
trial of former Premier Caillaux in
france was given to the public by the
state Department to-day in another Sc
RES from the departments store of in
tercepted diplomatic correspondence.
The messages exchanged between
Count Won Bernstorf. former German
Ambassador here. and the Berlin For

visit to Argentina in 1915 the former
Premier was in communication with
German agents. conGemning the French
government and asking that his posi-
ton at home be not damaged by praise
from the German newspaper
The messages were furnished TO the
French government before Caillaux's
arrest. it is understood that they were
made public here by arrangement with
Paris.
The first message sent by Ambassa-

Office follows:

German Bomb Found
In Drydock Alongside
Big u. S. Battleship
Especial Co1vespondence1

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Jan. 16.-A
powerful German bomb, capable OF
causing extensive damage, was found
to-day in a navy drydock in which one
of the latest type United States battle
ships was being repaired. The discov-
cry was made by seaman, who saw
the bomb lying on one of the steps
leading down into the drydock.
Receiving permission to pass the
the bomb and pulled out what appeared d
to be time fuse. He reported to the
officer of the day of the yard. The
marine guard was Immediately rein
forced and extra Secret Service men
were distributed about the ward
The bomb is shaped like telephone
receiver, and stamped on the side in
German letters were the words: "This
is 25-second explosive bomb" Sew
eral bomb experts declare that it was
powerful enough to have destroyed the
ship in the dock and severely damage
the entire yard
Officials of the yard refused to dis
cusS the case tonight.
lmme ediately after the finding of the
bomb had been reported Secret Service
men went through every workshop in
the yard to see if by any chance the
bomb had been manufactured inside of
the yard. Strict rules, which prevent
workmen or enlisted men from bring
ing packages into the yard until the
contents are examined, would have
made it impossible for the bomb to
have been smuggled into the yard
through the gates.
The approach by water to the yard is
also we'll guarded, but with scores of
tugs and other small craft coming into
dock with supplies it would have been
possible for some one to have placed
the bomb without being seen by the

mornings cannot call ourselves Chris
tians if our Christianity stops there"
said Mr.. Rockefeller eve only do
what a good sponge does-we take in
what we can and let it go at that. But
our Christianity ought to mean service
and self-sacrifice. These people are
men and women just like us; we
mustn't forget that. And we mustn't
let them forget that we're men and
women just like them, even if We do
live uptown. We must come down here
and rub shoulders with them, touch
their lives and feel their experiences
II we did this in the fullest measure
there would be no social unrest, no in
dustrial problems, no conflict of class
against class"
Mr.. Rockefeller then urged the audi
ence to enlist Immediately for some
definite service for the new neighbor-

Spoern,ann Now Is Held
AS Ordinary Alien Enemy :
Spy Cle.us Still SOUGHT
[Speclal CoYrespomdence1

BALTIMORE. Jan. 16.-The Denart.
ment or Justice to-day stepped into the
case of Walter Spoermann. alleged Ger.
man spy, and placed him in the class
OF an ordinary enemy alien. 1t is on
such charge that he is now being held
IN the Baltimore Jail, and as the matter
now stands his case will be dispose d
OF by the United States Attorney Cen
eral at Washington.
Officials of the local Naval Intel1;.
gence Bureau, who worked up the case
against Spoermann and who place d
hlm under arrest last Wednesday at
the government aviation training camp
at Langley Field, Va, are still work
ing diligently catching up broken
threads of evidence.
Assistant United States District At
torney James A. Latane said this morn
ing that Spoermann would not be given
trial by court martial unless some
very pertinent evidence, not now at
hand, be produced.
Just at this time there is a general
easing up all along the line by the De-
partment of Justice officials because
of an apparent conflict between that
office and that of the Naval Intelli-
gence Bureau here. 1t grew out of the
manner in which Lieutenant Frederick
l. Dorton, in charge of the naval bu-
reau, and his men followed up Spoer-
mann and arrested him. Department
or Justice men are spending a good
PIT OF time complaining of the author
lty vested in the other bureau The
Naval Intelligence Bureau men saw
that should they be able to prove that
Spoermann is a member Of the German
lighting forces, in view of the acts he
mas already committed he cannot be
tried by other than court martial.
They are now striving toward this end.
Spoermann this morning asked to
have wholesome meal served him.
Spoermann had his picture officially
taken to-day. Badly frightened by his
connection with the case of Walter
Spoermann, Mrs. Antonia Spoermann,
wife Of Frederick II. C. Spoermann.
Walters brother. denied that either
she or her husband knew anything
about Walters activities.
Il Just couldn't believe it when T saw
the story IN the papers about Walter
being an alleged master spy Of the Ger
man government" she said. "Walter

When Caillaux was Minister of FL

over the Ministry of the Interior, ow-

that portfolio. Caillaux thus had the
opportunity of obtaining these pink

he placed in the safo of the bank in
