TTTE MORNTXG OREGONTAN, SATURDAY, 31 ARCH 10, 1917. 8 v i. - OFFICER OF GERMAN NAVY IS ARRESTED Los Angeles Prisoner Held as Suspect in Connection With . Welland Canal Plot. CAPTAIN WORKING ON FARM Alfred Frilzen Taken ty Department of Justice Agent Following Ex tensive Travels in Amer ica, Mexico, Cuba. LOS ANGELES, March 9. In the ar rest of Captain Alfred Frltzen, who says he is an officer of the German navy, the Federal authorities believe they have one of the men Involved In the plot to dynamite the Welland Canal. tl M. Blanford, special agent for the Department of Justice, made the ar rest last night at Hartwood. near this city. Captain Frltzen spent the night in the City Jail here, much to his dis trust, and said he would not oppose ex tradition to New York, where he is under Indictment. Captain Fritzen had worked on a ranch, but said he had plenty of money and could give bail of $20,000, or In any reasonable amount. He declared he had wealthy relatives and powerful friends and that the German govern ment did not provide him with funds. Charse Declared Absnrd. He Classed the charge against him as absurd, although he said he was in New York at the time of the plot. Captain Fritzen said he was an officer In the German navy for 20 years. He was on shore duty for five years before the beginning of the war and was In New York City on a leave of absence when war was declared. At the time he held the rank of captain on the active list, he said. "I tried to get back to Germany to fight 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." Trip to Mexico Attempted. Soon, he said,- he returned to the United States, went to New Orleans, then came to Los Angeles, worked for Mr. Hart, then went back East and to Cuba, from there to Vera Cruz, In an attempt to reach Mexico City, but fail ing, returned here January 15. Later he went to San Diego and to Tia Juajia, Lower California, in an other attempt to get to Mexico City. Failing to find means of transporta-. tion, he returned here. Ke denied acquaintance with other Germans implicated in the Welland Canal, plot or with any German offi cials except consuls to whom he re ported on his travels.

Cal., last night, was indicted by a Federal Brand jury in this city April 17. 1916, in an alleged conspiracy hatched In the ITnited States to blow up the Welland Canal. Indictments were returned at the name time against Captain Franz von J'apen, ex-military attache of the Ger man Embassy; Wolf von Igel. his sec retary; Captain HanH Tauscher. agent in America of the ICrupps, and Con Btantine Covani, alias Giovanni Gon zales. With the possible exception f Covani, Fritzen is the only one of the alleged conspirators now, in this coun try. Von Papen was sent back to Germany, and Hans tauscher and Wolf von Igel are returning to Germany with Count von Bernstorff. The where abouts of Covani is not known. Fritzen, who was formerly manager in Hoboken of a German sailors' home, is laleged to have been one of five men who at the instance of Von Papen carried dynamite t Niagara Falls por the purpose of blowing up the canal. Tauscher was alleged to have sup plied the explosive, but was tried and acquitted of this charge. It was said at the Federal District Attorney's of fice arrangements would be made to have Fritzen brought here. I , lli t ! 2 Pictorial I I Full lines I 1 W- 0 !! hereonly .

The priests had gone to the Bear Lake country to convert the Eskimos to Christianity. The first news of the murder was brought to Herschel Island two years ago by a big game hunter who found a band of Eskimos wearing the gowns, crucifixes and vestments of Catholic priests. On investigation it was found that , the missionaries were missing. The priests were natives of France and about 35 years of age. The alleged murderers were arrested by Captain Lenauze, who crossed Coro nation Gulf and went to the Bear Lake country.

He is sat- sfied the country is prepared to trust him and he proposes to go along his own road, asking Congress for support only when support seems necessary. Legislative Programme Outlined. Besides obtaining authority to act in any way he may deem advisable for the protection of American lives and Amer- can rights and obtaining sufficient money to enable him to do, it is the purpose of the President to insist that Congress shall pass the following measures: Authorizing combination of capital in the export and import trade of the country as circumstances of interna tional competition have made imperative. Increase of the membership of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Conservation, whereby the mineral resources of the country now locked up will be released and unused water power will be employed. Appropriations for the support and enlargement of the Army and the maintenance of the military academy at West Point. Appropriations for the civil estab lishment of the Government.

The President also will desire Con gress to study seriously the question of universal military training. No time is to be lost In arming American .merchantmen. What ships will be armed and with what guns they will be equipped the President es pecially asks the newspapers to refrain from printing. Whatever, ships are armed will be supplied with naval gunners. If a hostile submarine should, be sighted, it will be fired on, for its pres ence will be regarded, as proof of a purpose to attack. The policy of Ger man submarines' has been to attack without warning. The German govern ment has publicly and officially an nounced this policy. Under the circumstanoes the gunners will not withhold their shot until the torpedo for the destruction of their vessel has been loose-a.

London's' Destruction Ills Dream. The reputed ambition of Count Zep pelin to lay London in ruin and his alleged confidence in the ability of his machines to achieve this object are recalled, while failure to realize such an ambition is regarded by some writ ers aa sufficient ground on which to base the statement that Zeppelin's career of strange vicissitudes ended in disallusion and defeat at one of the lowest points in his fluctuating for tunes. His least appreciative commen tator says: "His chief feat is that he killed or wounded 1500 British citizens, mostly non-combatants, by disloyal means and gave Germany her greatest disap pointment of the war."
