GERMAN OFFICER
IS UNDER ARREST
Captain Alfred Fritzen Locked
Up at Los Angeles on Order
from Washington.
IN WELLAND CANAL PLOT
Los Angeles, Cal., March 9. Cap
tain Alfred Fritzen, said to be a Ger
man naval officer, was arrested at
Hartwood, near here, late last night
by E. M. Blanford, special agent of
the Department of Justice, and held
in the city jail on suspicion of fel
ony. The authorities said he was
wanted in connection with the al
leged plot to destroy the Wetland ca
nal. The arrest was made upon orders
from Washington. Federal authori
ties here said tkey had no knowledge
of other possible activities of Fritzen.
The arrested man was found in bed.
Mis only statement was:
"What 1 know I cannot tell."
Federal agents here have been on
the watch for him for six months,
they said. They learned that he re
turned to California three days ago,
arriving at San Diego and coming
hee yesterday. Several months ago
he was here, it was alleged, under the
name of Tiper." He worked for a
time as a farm hand, .although his
dress and bearing were somewhat dis
tinguished. At that time he was em
ployed by Frank S. Hart' a wealthy
music dealer, on one of his ranches
and so impressed the "family that
when he returned yesterday he was
taken into the Hart home as a guest.
Fritzen said he had been "in the
United States three years. Recently,
he said, he had been tpuring Cuba.
No papers or anything of an incrim
inating nature was found on Fritzen
or in his room. Further search is be
ing made to locate his baggage and
to establish his connections with other
persons here and to learn if he had
communicated with those previously
named in the east in connection with
the alleged Wetland canal plot.
Emil Koedcl, formerly German con
sular agent here, federal authorities
said, had aided" Fritzen, but whether
simply because of his nationality or
for other reasons was not stated,
Fritzen Indicted at New York.
New York, Marcl. 9. Alfred A.
Fritzen, arrested at Hartwood, Cal.,
last night, was indiitcu by a federal
grand jury in this city ua April 17,
1916, in an alleged conspiracy hatched
in the United State to blow up the
Welland canal.
Indictments were .eturned at the
cmt time against Captain Franz von
Papen, former military attache of the
German embassy; Wolf von Igel, his
secretary; Caj-tain Hans Tauscher,
agent in America of the Ksupps, and
Constantine Covani, alias Giovanni
Gonzales.
With the possible exception of
Covani, Fri'.zen .'. the only one of
the alleged conspirators now in this
country, Hans Tauscher and Wolf
vnn fort gri. rti,rnini tn r,mw.
'with Count von Bcrnstorrf. The
whereabouts of Covani is not known.
Captain Fritzen talked more freely
after a few hours in jail, a , place
which caused him to express disgust.
"It is absurd," he said, referring to
the charge against him. Me said he
was in New York City at the time
of the alleged attempt to execute the
Welland canal plot. Although he

months, Captain Fritzen said he had
plenty of money, "and. I can get more
at any time. I am not supplied, how
ever, by the German government. My
people in Germany are wealthy. As
to bail, I can furnish $10,1X10 or $20,
(XX), or any sum within reason. I have
powerful iriertds.
"I will not fight extradition. I have
no fear of a trial. 1 am willing to re
turn to New York. It can't be worse
than the city jail."
. Travel to Cuba and Mexico,
Captain Fritzen said he was an of
ficer in the German navy for twenty
vears. He was on shore dutv for
five years before the beginning of the
war and was in New York City on a
leave of absence when war was de
clared. At that time he held the rank
of captain on the active list, he said.
"1 tried to get back to Germany
to light for the fatherland," he added,
"but I couldn't do it."
He went to Havana a few weeks
later, he said, , because the feeling
even at that time in New York was
strong against Germany. I learned
that government 'officers had been
trailing me. He said he returned to
the united states, went to Mew ur
lcans, then came to Los Angeles,
worked for Mr. Hart, 1 then went
hack east, and to Cuba, from there to
Vera Cruz in an attempt to reach
Mexico City, but failing, returned
here January 15. Later he went to
San Diego and to Tia Juana, lower
California, in another attempt to get
to Mexico City. Failing to find means
of transportation he returned here.
He denied acquaintance with other
uermans impiicaieu in ine wenanu
plot or with German officials except
consuls to whom he reported on his
travels. .

AN AMERICAN WOMAN IN GERMANY.
By Madeleine Z. Doty. New York City.
The Century company. II. SO.
Germany cannot hold out much
longer, if Miss Doty is to be believed.
This is very largely the theme of
"Short Rations," the story of what
an American woman saw behind the
scenes in the war-stressed empire,
with sidelights on other phases of
the war in several countries.
THE TIGER'S COAT. By Elisabeth Dejeans.

pany. 1. to.
The golden woman of this story
was literally golden. She had black
hair shot with gold, her black lashes
and hrnua had the same tint of
bronze, her eyes were frankly yellow.
I he novel of the middle west that the
author has woven about this fascina
ting personality fulfills the promise
and gains a response to the command.
It has at every turn of the corner the
fine thrill of a drama of character and
action.

Store, Omaha.
The heroine, Lydia, is a Vonder
ful girl character, developing in the
sort of love story American men like,
for it pictures the type of girl real
men are always keen about. Through
a seemingly hopeless tangle of diffi
cult surroundings she blazes her own
trail to splendid womanhood. Her
honesty, ambition and affectionate
loyalty never waver, and are respon
sible for the optimism and romance
which the story fairly radiates.
THB STINGY RECEIVER. By Eleanor
Hallowell Abbott. New York City. . The

Mrs. Tome Galleon, young and strong
and laughing Solvei Kjelland, tall and
young and handsome Dr. bam Ken

THE MARK OF CAIN. By Carolyn 'Wells.
Philadelphia. J. B, Uppencott ft Co. 11.35.
Crime and humor tumble over each

Wells detective stories, Fleming Stone
has had murder mysteries, baffling and
terrible, hut never hive stranger oc
currences, more unexpected suspi
cions, more weird clues beset him
than in the murder case of Rowland
Trowbridge. Fibsy, the irrepressible
office boy, is a scream, and yet how
useful to the great detective. Avice,
the heroine, is a character indeed, as
is her lover, or one-ef them, Lan
don. As a love-mystery-humorous
yarn "The Mark of Cain" is one worth
obtaining and when obtained difficult
to lay down without reading to the
finish.

bowel ailments. During these years he
gave to his patients a prescription made
of a itv well-known vegetable ingredi

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, you will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a nor

poisonous matter in one's system.
If you have a pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out

of Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets nightly
for a time and note the pleasing results.
