UNCOVER, ALLEGED TEUTON BOMB PLOT Authorities Say Explosive Is Found at Ho'boken, to Be Used to Blow Up Shell Plants. WILSON'S LIFE NOT GOAL Hoboken, N. J., March 5. With the arrest here today of Frits Kolb, a German, the authorities expressed the belief that they had frustrated a well developed plot to aid Germany by blowing up munition plants in this country engaged in turin, out con tracts for the er.tente allies. The po lice said they found in Kolb's room two bombs which, according to rumors that had reached then were , to be sent to President Wilson. After a preliminary investigation, however, they announced themselves as convinced that the plans of the al leged plotters had to do entirely with destroying war supplies, and that no attack on the president's life was con- , templated. The police also said they had come into possession ot in forma tion which might help them in solv ing the Black Tom, N. J., explosion and the destruction of the Kingsland, ' N. J. plant of the Canadian Car and Foundry company in which large munition euppliea for the entente allies were blown up. Four Others Grilled. nther men were nllffttioned - by the authorities tonight. Chief of Police Hayes of this 'city said they , were friends of Kolb, but that he thougtit they knew nothing of the al leged plot , "We are following leads which may result in additional arrests at any time," Chief Hayes declared. "We are co-operating with the New York po lice and the neutrality squad of the collector of the port of New York. All of us have been working on this for several weeks." ' Kolb was found in a small hotel, op posite the piera of the Hamburg American line. His room, it was as serted, bore the appearance of having been used as a laboratory. Besides ' the two bombs, the police said they found brass and copper tubing resem bling that used in ships. The bombs were made of this materia'.. There also were a flask 'of black nowder. bottles containing gasoline. benzine and alcohol; tools, trinitroto luol, and black disc powder. Experts from the New York detective bureau said the disc powder was new to them, but they believed it was similar to some used in Germany. The bombs, the exoerta declared, were of a new tvne and had slow fuses. The ex-1 plosive has not yet been identified. The workmanship of the bombs, the police said, indicated ingenuity and .skill They were wrapped in a shirt WlllCn JIU1V eUUIIlVCU WHO .tie. .vvjiu . denied that he hay anything to do with making the bombs, but said that . hia room was used for that purpose by a man he knew only u "Karl" whom he met 'a a saloon.
