MARQUIS"
LANSING EXPOSED
IS NOW INDICTED

NEW YORK. Feb. ia member
Of J. p. Morgan & Co.'S force was
foreman of a grand jury which found
an Indictment charging espionage
against Edmond RousselOt. who, pos
ing, 1t is said, as a marquis and con
fidentIaI representative OF the King
of Spain, sought to borrow $5O.OOO'OOO
from the financIers. and promising 10
bring Spain into the war on the side
of the allies.
When the subject was brought TO
the attention of the state Depart
ment, Federal agents were put on the
case and as a result three indict'
ments in the Federal court have peen
returned.
RousseIot was pressing his plan Tor
the loan when chance caused MS ar
rest on another charge.
When the subject Of the loan was
preached to the Morgan hrm by
Rousselot, who had been properly IN
troduced by W. +. u. Stokes OF New
York city. the bank communicated
with Secretary Lansing. VINO Opposed
the loan to the Spanish government
through an Individual, and suggested
that IL be taken up through the regu-
lar government channels.
Rousselot objected to this method
OF procedure, explaining that the loan
was to be made personally to King
Alfonso. and it was because OF the
secret Arrangement he could promise
that Spain was to Join the entente
allies.
The negotiations were still under
way and Mr.. Hamilton had the mat
ter under consideration when Rous'
seIot, about three weeks ago. was ar
rested on the charge Of falsely re-
porting himself as Count Rousselot,
a French diplomat here on secret
mission, and being unable to obtain
bail was sent to Jail. This led TO In
