Alien Taken
To Jail From
Curtiss Plant
Aeroplane Drawings Found
by Federal Agents Among
Effects of Prisoner

Edward F. Marchenct, an unregis-
tered alien enemy working on aeroplane
construction for the Curtss company
at Garden City, who has been in this
country for the last eig.t years, was
arrested yesterday by agents of the
Army Intelligence Service, with his
wife, Theresa, and brought to the New
York Enemy Alien Bureau for cNamina-
ton. Both Marchenet and his wife
probably will be intern1d if they are
not turned over to the United States
Attorney for prosecution in the Federal
courts under the espionage act Fed
eral agents have discovered that planes
have been tampered with at the Curtiss
plant.
Marchenet lived with his wife in
Yale Avenue, Hampstead. Long Island,
and has been in the employ of the
Curtiss concern since June, 1913. He
is an expert on aeroplane construction
and drawings and specifications from
among his effects. His relatives CON
veyed information of his official con-
nection with the German government
TO the Federal authorities.
In a statement to Perry Arm strong,
chief examiner of the Enemy Alien
Bureau, Marchenet said he was an
American of French Derivation He
later changed this story and said that
he was born in Metz, Germany. but the
authorities say they have information
that he was born in koenigs
Prussia, and that his name is Mar
schneider. Last night he was sent to
Raymond Street jail and his wife to
Waverley House pending the result OF
further Investigation
Agents Of the Army Intelligence Bu-
reau said that for some time Marche-
net has been working ai night in his
garage with another German who has
not been apprehended When agents
visited the garage yesterday thev founc
many drawings of aeroolanes and parts
in addition to a bundle of clippings
from newspapers on German successes
Over the door of the garage there was
pasted cartoon taken from "The New
York American of the American eagle
Under this was written when this
eagle comes back from France his
feathers will be clipped "
Among the effects of Mrs. March
enet We're found some mysterious pa
pers. One Of the letters found in one
part read. the west end of building
blown out
The investigation Of the activitie.
of Marchenot has been extended to the
aviation field at Mineola, where mum
her of cross bars in aeroplancs have
been found to be defective. They were
repaired so skilfullv after bein.
broken that some passed the inspectors
It these machines with weak bars were
used the wings would break while the
machine was in the air.
For some time. according to tho
story he told Mr. Armstrong, his wife
has been very nervous because of hol
failure to register. She was warned hy
the postmaster to register, hut refused
claiming Amesrican citizenship. The fac
that fortune teller told her that hen
people were IN danger of being behind
bars caused the couple to prepare for
flight Just before they were arrested

s8s,9ooooo worth of equipment. and
that as far as he had gone in his in
vestlgation the reports showed that
was useless to the government.
1t was discovered last night bv
agents of the Department of Justice
that preparation was being made for
relnspectlon of thousands of garments &
and shoes that had been rejected. Mr..
Brewer ordered all the aviators' lack
cts manufactured by the concern rein
spected at Governors Island. At this
inspection So per cent of the entire lot
was discarded as useless II was found
that in order to save leather aviators'
coats were being made from one to
three inches short of the specifications.
and that the same methods were being
used in the manufacture of leggins.
Lieutenant Grass was arrested last
night at Governors Island by an agent
of the Department of Justice He was
trans ferred there about a month ago.
Simons was formerly clerk for the
concern, and when he was drafted ar
rangements were made to have him
assigned to assist Grass.
Recently there has been cons iderable
labor trouble in the Rosenwasser
plant, and several strikers who were
arrested we're given Jail sentences
under the "work or fight law
Before the war tine Rosenwasser CON
cern manufactured shoe uppers and
was considered one Of the largest com
panies of its kind in the country.
Since the United States entered the
war the factory has hoen turned over
to war work exclusively and has been
operating on contracts for leather and
canvas eouipment 1t is understood
the company was making half the
shoes used by the National army and
most of the leather gloves, caps and
coats used by the aviators.
Late last night it was intimated by
a Federal prosecutor that charges of
violation Of the espionage act are not
unlikely in the cases of some of the
men implicated in the Rosenwasser
concern. More definite information as
to the frauds viii be made public when
all the men accused of the frauds
have been annrchpndpd

Forthwith he extended a hospitable

Tom, being masculine, succumbed
