on the case, supported the belief
that the investigation was carried
out with the approval of the ad-
ministration at Washington. The
state department is not expected
to protest to the German govern
ment. even though the indictments
handed down here yesterday carry
charges of conspiracy against this
government.
State department officials Said
that if those tried are found guilty,
they will be sentenced to prison
under the civil jurisdiction of the
federal courts. In time of war, such
offenders would be shot.
Chief obstacle to any sweeping
court procedure, however, was that
all but four of those named in the
three true bills. have fled this
country. Those four are under ar
rest.
Yesterdays special grand jury ac-
ton, although one of the most
potentially grave international de-
VelopmentS in American peace time
history, eliminated only the first
phase of the investigation into a
foreign espionage group which be-
gan operating here about four years
ago Federal officials have not fin
ished the job, it was known, and
the still current inquiry is expected
to lead to equally important de-
velOpments before the trial is be-

Turkey:Mullein and Wild Cucumber
Piscaria serieera).

What the indians use Of this plant
to catch fsh are the woolly. coarse
leaves. They gather handfuls Of these
leaves and enter the fsh stream. Adadly
they swish the water with them. some.
times seeking corners and deeper places.
When they have riled the water thor
ouehly, they 60 up on the bank and
await the results. In short time dsh
begin to appear at the surface beauties
Of al sizes. The Mullen has properties
that are most offensive to fish. and
they must come to the surface or
suf1ocate. At this stage, the Indian
women enter the water, usually each
with . nat basket on one arm. The
stunned fish are gathered in great
numbers. Before they can return to
consciousness and realize their plight,
they have been beheaded. cleaned, and
may be sizzling In the pan.
The wild cucumber Is another plant
whose mashed and bruised roots do
something to the f,sh brain. The
member living In the Eastern States
has been cultivated for ornamental
purposes for 80 long, that few even
remember about its flsh-stunning
properties. On the Pacific Coast, the
Western cousin, . perennial. roams
