The Federal authorities learned, they as
serted this afternoon, that Carranza was
notified In so many words that If he did
not acquiesce In the Oerman program a
determined revolution would be set under
ry, financed by Herman money and en
rmeered hy Herman military authorities,
to depose him.
PRBSSfllK ON' CARRANZA
In this connection it was lecalletl that a
I dispatch from Kl Paso several weeks ago
i broke the news that I'nlted States agents
rre Investigating reports that Herman
tonsuls were supplying Villa and other ban
dits with funds with which to renew their
eperallom against Carranza. It Is believed
to he mot than a coincidence that Villa
lnrtdenly became active In northern Mexico
nd tlut Fcllcist.i bandits began operating
In the Monterey district at about the same
time that tlermany began exerting pressure
en Mexico to Join 111 possible war against
the United States. Viewed In the light of
th dispatch disclosuies, It Is now believed
that northern .Mexican bandits were stirred
t" actlWty by Herman agents for the sole
purpose of convincing Carranza that Ger
many could make good her threats.
"There Is ample evidence to prove that
there is a spy system for the German l.ov
ernment in this country directing the activ
ities of the various groups of tools," said a
hlith Government official this afternoon.
"He Is the hub in this Intricate Intrigue,
and his agents, numbering thousands, are.

try each of these agents received a consid
erable cash appropriation, arylng in
amount according to the Importance of the

has been ascertained that tiie amount
known to have been spent to date has been
a little In excess of $3,000,000 "
Furthermore, the Government official as-
Mrted, a "streak of German" bus been
found In many of the peace societies and

A dark shadow flitted along the Reading

something shiny under lis "right arm. A
watchman saw the thing, which seemed to
glide thioiigh the air, and told a railioad de
tective. With thoughts of spies, anarchists arrd
traitors rushing through his mind the
sleuth got on the Hall of the shadow and
followed It This required considerable
eneigy. The shadow crept close to a num
ber of freight cms, gilded between them
heie and theie and finally emerged atop of
one. where It sat down and' glaied at the
night.
The detective leached the car. and climb
Ing stealthily to the top, otdeied the shadow
to "hands up." There was a clatter as the
shiny thing carried by the shadow rolled
from the car and the shadow -inrnilied:
"WhatsaiiiRUerwld)ou, eh'.'"
The sleuth escorted It fiom the car wlth
utit trouble and landed the shadow before
Magistrate Wrlgley. And It proved to he a
teal live, tlesh-and-blood human being,
known In Ihe nelghboihood as Charlie Cum

"I felt Jls' like doln' somepln' desperlt,"
said Charlie, "an" I crawled up on top of the

Hut as Charlie was never known to be a

the least worried,
"Ah, I e," said the Judge; "you need
lots of time to think."
"Yer right 1 do," replied the prisoner.
"You can have a quiet reverie at the
county prison for the next ten days." con
cluded the Magistrate.
