mate the necessity for a hearing befcye Turnage. If that is not donc Farssworth must be taken back befoys Turnage and the government will be required to present it's case against him. If, in the commis- sionsr's Judgment, the government shows cause, Farnsworth will bt held for action of the grand jury If the government failed to pre- sent Q prima facie case, Farnsworth automatically would be released The commissioner is required by law to hear only government wit nesses. Penalty for violation oi the espionage section is 20 years in prison In peace time; 90 years or death in time of war.
 Specific Charge
 The specific charge against Farnsworth was that in May l93o he transmitted to a Japanese agent a book entitled "'rhe Service of In- formation and Security"
 Nine years ago, Farnsworth was court-martialed, stripped of his Lieutenant Commanders rank, and dishonorably discharged from the navy on charges of "scandalous conduct"
 Farnsworth was arrested by G. man who adopted a policy of abso- lute silence and refused to discuss circumstances surrounding the cap- ture or details of their investigation that led up to 1t.
 The ex-naval officer was delivered into the custody of the marshaPs office at II a. m, at point in Washington which was kept secret. It was understood the arrest was made shortly after midnight within the District of Columbia.
 Under Examination
 FarnsWorth was committed to the district jail shortly after noon. A medical examination was ordered.
 The book Service of Informa- ton and Security" which Farms worth is alleged to have transmitted to Japanese agent is confidc:l- tial publication of the navy.
 It includes information on naval tactics and critiques on existing and planned operations.
 The navy pointed out that the book is listed as confidential rather than as secret" Secret documents such as code books are of very limited distribution, being held by only six or seven highest ranking naval officers.
 Confidential publications have somewhat wider distribution, but every officer receiving one must sign for 1t and be prepared to pre- sent it at any time. If lost, the officer might be liable to court- martial.
 The navy department would no: disclose contents of the particular book which FarnSworth was charg- ed with transmitting, nor as to the identity of the Japanese who al- legedly received the document.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull said he had had no direct informa.- ton regarding the arrest of Farms worth, or the activities with which he was charged.
 Hull said he had not been ap- preached by the Department of Jus tice or any other governmental de- pertinent with reference to persons connected with the Japanese em- bassy here. This statement was iIl connection with rumors that an official of the embassy had been oi would be recalled to Tokyo as an aftermath of the spy case.

Arnold sought to betray West Point, Key to the Hudson valley, to the British In the negotiations, Maj. John An dre, British officer who was engaged in contracting Arnold, was captured and was hanged. Arnold escaped, was commissioned a brigadier gen eral in the British army, received approximately $50,000 and led seV- eral attacks on the Americans.
 Civil War Had Some
 The Civil war also developed number of cases of spying but as the war was between the states and not with a foreign country, little stigma was attached to Americans engaged or caught in espionage The Spanish American and MeXi- can wars were practically free Of spy activity in the United States.
 The World War brought a great outburst of German spying before and during American participation. This espionage, led almost entirely by Germans such as Capt. Franz von Papen, Ambassador Count Jo. ham Heinrich von Bernstorn e.1d Capt. Karl Boy-Ed. Most of the Americans that participated took minor posts in carrying out German orders.
 Another American
 Another American, a naturalized citizen of German descent, Charles N. Wunnenberg. was dangerous and active agent against the Unit cd States. Under the sobriquet of son Charles the Dynamiter," Wun- nenberg planned and participated in placing bombs aboard many ships in New York. .But he finally was caught and sent to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. There, on Sept. 1, 1917, he made a complete confession.
 One Spy Confessed
 Frederick Metzler, son Of Ameri- can-born parents, also was arrested and confessed to aiding Paul Goe- nig, a German agent, in sabotage work against munitions factories and transportation facilities, prior to American entry into the war.
 Other Americans, William J. Con- nors and Walter P. Scheele, parti- cipated in arrangements for plant ing bombs on ships. for shipping contraband and organized sabotage.

the Khyber Pass, that rocky spot
that has played such role in his

to believe that any human being

Close on the footsteps of these

Mr.. Hamilton flashed across the

Willard A. Tydings, of Maryland,
