NEUTRALITY CASES PRESSED Official at San Francisco Sur renders Himself. CROWLEY ALSO INVOLVED Arrest Made in Connection With Al leged Conspiracy to Block Com merce by Destroying Ships on Pacific Coast. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 4. Baron George Wilhelm von Brincken. who claimed immunity from arrest as mil itary attache of the German Consul General here laBt night, surrendered early tonight to Federal authorities and was charged with attempting to destroy commerce with th allien. He was released on bail bond of $10,000. The arrest of Von. Brincken was in connection with the alleged conspiracy to block traffic and destroy vessels carrying food, clothing and ammuni tion) to the allies Jn the European war and associated, him with Charles C. Crowley, a detective, and Lewis J. Smith, Crowley's alleged accomplice, in the handling of German funds for de struction purposes. The Federal authorities also indicated the intention of pressing other neutral ity cases by ordering service of a sub pena on Robert Capelle, agent of the North-German, Lloyd Steamship Com pany, who was said by them to have, been secreted on board the German bark Ottawa, interned off Sausalito since the beginning of the war. Search for Capelle was begun ten days ago, following the testimony in the Hamburg-American case at New-York that $755,000 was sent here for disbursement upon the orders of Captain Boy-ed, naval attache of the German embassy. MOKE ARRESTS WILL FOLLOW Washington Believes It Has Hands on Most of Conspirators. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. After weeks of investigation covering the entire country Department of Justice officials were convinced tonight that they had under arrest most of the men impli cated In plots to interfere with Amer ican commerce in munitions of war. Tho arrest today in San Francisco of Baron von Bricken, who says he is connected with tho office of the Ger man Consul-General there, is regarded here as one of tho most important made in several weeks. The Baron, ac cording to the information here, was a prominent figure in the plans of C. C. Crowley, arrested in the same city, charged with plots against munition factories. More arrests are to be made in the Crowley case, and important de velopments aro looked for when all tho witnesses the Government is seeking reach San Francisco and give their, testimony. Although officials would not admit that direct conection had been estab lished between the Crowley plots and thoso in which Lieutenant Robert Fay and his accomplices were implicated in New York, it is understood many facts point to such a conclusion. If this proves true the department expecis within a few weeks to have completely defeated Nation-wide plans to interfere with munition shipments in the East to England, France and Italy and in the West to Russia.
