GERMAN AGENTS
CONFESSION STARTS
ROUNDUP OF SPIES

NEW YORK. Feb. "a confessed
German spy Is under arrest at Ellis
Island today and as result OF his
capture Federal officials hope to
round up several more Teutonic
agents in this. country.
The spy was one OF the passengers
taken from the Dutch liner NIeuw
Amsterdam which recently arrived at
an Atlantic port. Concealed under
his collar were found a dozen thin
strips OF tissue paper covered with
letters and figures. After a "third
degree lasting for hours the pris-
oner confessed that the papers form
ed a new German secret code which
he was bringing to German spies in
this country at the direct request OF
the German government. He admit
ted that he had been paid a large
sum to do the work and that he was
| to get more when he had completed
his task successfully.
Officials had a hard time wringinE
his confession from him. He stead
fastly maintained for hours that the
papers found on him were business
secrets. After he admitted their
meaning he protested at first that he
did not know the names OF the
agents they were intended for. Conc
tinued questionng however, finally
caused him to break down completely
and he gave officials the names OF
the men he was to deliver the code
to.
Federal officials are closely exam
ming the papers taken from the pris-
oner today. They believe that they
may give some clue to a nationwide
conspiracy planned in this country.

street car traffic facilities-subYay,
elevated and surface-all lines owned
by one company. are lmaentably bad,
with the commissions conclusion that
it will never be bettered under pri-
vate management, which thinks al
most wholly of the eternal dividend
and little Of the needs of the public.
The physical condition Of the Boston
car lines was described by the Beeler
report as verging on collapse, with
steady depreciation in roadbed, roll
ing equipment and operation gener-
ally.
The old, old story of paying IA;
dividends and letting the property
run down was manifest throughout.
The stock has passed into the hands
of thousands of good people, much OF
ii is held as investments by estates,
and these people. according to the
Public Service Commission, are en-
titled to protection, to fair returns
upon the investments they have
made.
Public Control Only.
So the only way to assure the pub
lie improved service, to bring about
physical improvements for the future
10 protect honest investors in stocks
and bonds, is for the State TO take
over the system, operate it on a 5ls
per cent return basis and exact such
car fares as will insure thorough re-
habilitation.
Mr.. Beeler, in his reports on traffic
conditions in Washington, is not eN-
pected to make recommendations for
Government or municipal control or
ownership. He will simply point out
facts derived from his search and en-
deavor to look to the future for
Washington people. II these facts

Commission that private ownership

The commission is not in position
