SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST ADSTRIANS
Allegations that Consuls Here Are
Back of Plots Against Munition
Plants to Se Probed.
DR. GORICAR TELLING TALES
WASIUNQTON. Nov. 12. Pub
lished charges, attributed . to Dr. Jos
eph Oorlcar, former Auetro-Hun-garlan
conaul at San Francisco, that
Austrian consuls In the United States
working under tb direction of Con
sul General Von Nuber and Count
Von Bernstorf f, the German ambas-,
sador, are active in propaganda for
destruction of munitions factories
and fomenting strikes among the
workers will be referred by the State
department to the Department of
justice for investigation.
The Austrian embassy here denounced
Gorlcar's published statement as untrue
In every particular, and announced It
would try to find some way to prosecute
him for it Qoricar, the embassy said,
left his post on leave and failed to re
turn. Secretary Lansing today declined
to comment on the charges.
florlcsi Charges Sperlfte.
The Department of Justice has a good
deal of Information on hand regarding
the activities of Consul General von Nu
ber, which It gathered while Investigat
ing his connection with the case of Dr.
Dumba, the recalled Austrian ambassa
dor, but so far has nothing definite on
the charges attributed to Dr. Goricar. In
substance Goricar la accredited with mak
ing the statement that he resigned his
post after fifteen years in the Austrian
consular service because he declined to
perform the work of a spy. He charges
that whUe consul at San Francisco, Com
mander Maximilian Burstyn, the Austrian
naval attache at Washington, ordered
him to gather plans of the fortifications
of San Francisco harbor and along the
Pacific coast, and to get especially de
tails of the works at Bremerton navy
yard. When he refused, Goricar is ac
credited with saying, he was transferred
I to Berlin, where, after five months, he
was ordered to proceed to Vienna, which
he feared to do, because of his pro-slavlo
affiliations, so he fled to Rome, where
he resigned last December.
Maalttoa Workers Tampered With,
Gorlcar's story contends that the Ger
man ambassador, working with Von
Nuber, Is In touch with the Austrian con
suls at Cleveland, Bt Louis, Pittsburgh,
St. Paul. Chicago and Philadelphia, who
spread propaganda among the foreign
workers In the munitions factories, and
such activity. Goricar alleges, extends
even to controlling the foreigners
through fraternal and secret organlxa
Uons.
The alleged extent of the activities of
the Austrian consuls and the so-called
spy system are described at' length In
Gorlcar's published statement. Gorlcar's
record shows that he first came to this
country in 1909 and was consul at Pitts
Durgh,
Denver, and finally San Fran-
Cisco, where he served three years.

John Wesley De Kay was born near

PEACE CONFERENCE
WILL BEHELD SOON
Dr. Jordan Discusses Move for
Quasi-Official Meeting; of Neu
trals with President
FIRST SESSION AT BERNE DEC. 14
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. David
Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland
Stanford university and head of the
International Peace congress, re
cently held in San Francisco, told
President Wilson today that a quasi
cfficlal meeting- of neutral nations
probably will be held" some time be
fore Christmas, either at The Hague,
berne or Copenhagen, to attempt to
bring about peace in Europe.
Dr. Jordan conveyed to the presi
dent a resolution from the peace
congress urging him to co-operate
with other neutrals in calling such a
conference.
In a statement laid before the president
by Dr. Jordan It was declared that as a
result of recent missions to the govern
ments of the warring nations It could be
stated that while the nations at war were
willing themselves to begin negotiations
for peace "there Is nevertheless abun
dant evidence that those charged with
the administration of the foreign policies
of these nations would welcome, or at
least not oppose, affirmative action by a
neutral agency to bring about a peace
based on international Justice."
Five Ntllusa Will Participate.
Dr. Jordan said that while no official
Information was available peace advo
cates had learned from unofficial sources
In Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Den
mark and Ppeln that those countries
would be glad to take part In any move
ment to further the cause of peace. Dr.
Jordan was accompanied by Louis P.
Lochner, secretary of the Chicago Peace
society, and who acted as secretary to
Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chi
cago, when she visited Europe as a rep
resentative of the Women's Peace con-
