HUN SPY WRITES CONFESSION
(san Francisco Chroniclel


 An expose, covering the most min ute details of the spy system employed by the imperial German government in its efforts to incite revolution in h. dia, is by Lieut.. Wilhelm von Brinck- en. now serving term at McNeirs Island, for conspiring to violate the neutrality laws of this country, ac- cording to word received here by his attorney, Henry M. owens. The ex. pose, containing more than one hum dred thousand words and covering Lieutenant von Brincken's experiences as an agent of the German govern ment in Africa, England, Italy, France, Spain and the United States will be completed shortly, Owens says.
 In his statement von Brincken will dwell particularly on his work for the German government with the Hindu situation in San Francisco and of the events leading to his arrest and con- viction on charge of violating the neutrality laws. He will explain the German methods of intrigue and de- scribe the efforts of the German sec ret service agents in accomplishing re- suits requested by Berlin. Copies Of instructions received by him from oeiiit anu HIS reports Tn response to those instructions will be incorpor. ated in his statement.
 That von Brinckens comments on the East Indian situation from the Berlin standpoint will be of interest to the British parliament, now engaged in an exhaustive discussion of the In dian question, and of great value td Premier Lloyd George in his efforts tc find peaceful solution of the Hindu problem, is the belief of MT. Owens who has read portions of the state ment.

VALUE OF MEXICAN
 MONEY |S ISSUE IN
 CASE IN HIGH COURT

The supreme court heard yesterday the arguments in the case of the Sonora Bank and Trust company versus the Compania Agricola del Rio Mayo. a Mexican corporation. in which the value of Mexican money deposited by the latter in the Nogales bank is the question at issue. The case is on ap- peal from the Santa Cruz county su- perior court.
 More than s41, 900 in American money was deposited by the company in the summer of 1914, and in the fall the bank purchased with this sum ap- proximately s15o,o00 in Mexican bank notes. The Mexican money remained on deposit. with an estimated value of 27 cents on the dollar.
 Disputes then arose between the company and the bank as to whether metallic Mexican pesos or paper money had been purchased. and the company sued the bank for recovery of s150. 900 in metallic Mexican pesos, or their equivalent in Mexican money. The bank asserted that the purchase they had made covered Mexican bank bills.
 Evidence introduced in the lower court concerned for the most part the definition and meaning of Spanish terms used in the contract The court finally held that since there had been no meeting of minds no contract had been made, but rendered judgment for the company for s41.000 America n money, the sum originally on deposit with the bank.
 Neither side was satisfied. so both appealed. Kingan and Campbell of Tucson, and Barry and Barry of No gales, represented the Mexican com pany at the hearing before the supreme court yesterday. and Duffy and Pur dum Of Nogales. and Armstrong Lewis. and Kramer of Phoeniy handled the appeal for the bank.
 The case was taken under advise ment by the court.
