Confessions obtained by secret service agents from Carl Schmidt, Carl Paradls and Frederick Praedel. arrested In con nection with" the Investigation of anti-ally bomb plots, resulted In a search today for more than a score of men whom, it Is believed, actually placed fire bombs on merchant ships. Schmidt, Paradls and Praedel were engineers ot the Interned German liner Frlederlch der Grosse. Their alleged confession, police declare, said that ringleaders of the plot were so anxious to be sure the bombs were properly placed that they often as signed three men to the task of put ting infernal machines on one ship. The trio confessed that during one year they manufactured about 300 bombs. Ringleaders considered that 10 or 12 of these devices on each ship was about the right number. Their figures tally roughly with po- llc e8tmt that 30 fires on allied mercnant snips were caused by the ring's activities. The bombmakers said they re ceived $14 a week for the work. The authorities are tracing accounts kept by Walter T. Scheele, president of the New Jersey Agricultural and Chemical company of Hoboken, seek ing a clew to he Identity of "higher tips."
