MESA, Dec. 7.-At a meeting of a number of the members of the Mesa Commercial club. held yesterday after
 noon at the club headquarters, the matter of county division was dis cussed and an enthusiastic movement inaugurated toward the accomplish
 ment of the desired purpose. Several years ago a similar attempt was made under a different law than at presel

|ND|CT HUN AGENTS
 .ON TREASON CHARGE

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-1ndictments charging treason were returned by a federal grand jury here today against Hermann Vessels, an officer of the German navy, and Albert Paul Fricke, of Mount Vernon, N. Y, American rep resentative of a German toy manufac- turing company.
 The men have been in the Tombs prison several months, having been de- nied bail after previous indictment on charges of conspiring with Jeremiah A. OLeary, Marie K. De Victorica, Will lard J. Robinson, John T. Ryan and others to forward secret messages through Holland to the German gov- ernment.
 Fricke is an American citizen. The treason charge against him is based on the alleged aid he extended to Vessels in giving to agents of the federal gov ernment false information regarding Vessels, to conceal the fact that he was a secret representative of the German government"
 Vessels, it is charged, came to the United States on November 12, 1916 with false passports issued in Switzer- land under the name of Carl Roedinger, and in Holland under the name of Paro Schroeders. F'ricke is accused of har- boring him and with the aid of the forged passports conspiring with Hugo Schweitzer and Rudolph Binder resi- dents of the United States, and with the representatives in neutral countries. that Vessels should communicate with the then imperial government.
 It is specifically charged that. as part of this plan, Willard J. Robinson on March A, 1917, left this country for Holland with secret messages to the Hohenzollern government and brought back instructions and funds for Vessels.
 Fricke also is charged with having given funds to Vessels and having at tempted to arrange meetings between him and Oscar Englehardt, Ernst Bis choff, Hugo Schweitzer and others, with an intent that they should assist the German government in its war against the United States.

Mir. Bielaski testified, Fox presented a plan for stirring up trouble between the United States and Japan as the means of stopping munitIon shipments and in the hope that the United States would become an ally of Germany.
 Fox, said MT. Bielaski, suggested the writing of plays, scenarios and vaude . Nille sketches as a part of his propa Eanda and as an author suggested Hiram Green, editor Of the Illustrated Weekly. He also suggested that Green be employed to write a series of ar ticles in his weekly on Japan. This plan also was discussed with Captai Von Papen, formerly attached to the German embassy.
 Referring to Edward A. Rumely, Nh. Belaski said:
 "Ehe records show that Rumely, as soon as Dr. Dernberg arrived in this country, rather attached himself to DernbCrg, and was really regarded as more or less of a shadow of Dernberg. He drew the money for Louis N. Ham .merling, by which Hammerling pail for the advertisement against the ship ment of munitions.
