By Associated Press.
New York, Feb 26.—Federal author
ities to-day are investigating a state
ment made by counsel for Richard P.
Slegler, the German naval reservist ar
rested in this city Wednesday night,
that Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache to
the German embassy in Washington,
had furnished an American passport to
Carl Hans Lody. the German spy who
was put to death in the Tower of Lon
don last November. In his general de
nial of Stealer's statements involving
tCim Captain Boy-Ed referred to this al
legation as "trash."
Charles H. Griffiths, former Assistant
Tf. S. Attorney, who was assigned by
United States Commissioner Houghton
to defend Stegler, linked the names of
the German naval attache and Lody in
a statement given out after a confer
ence with Stegler in the Tombs.
Boy-Ed Knew Whole Plot
"Stegler told me," Mr. Griffiths
said, "that on one occasion while he
was on his way to keep an appointment
with Captain Boy-Ed a Dr. Fuehr told
him that Captain Boy-Ed 'had carried
through the seheme that made it pos
sible to secure an American passport
for Lody and that Boy-Ed sent Lody
to England, where he was executed.
Stegler also said that Dr. Fuehr had
lold him Boy-Ed was t>he only person
who knew all the details of the ijodv
plot because he had "planned the whole
thing."
Mr. Griffiths said that all of Stegler's
statements' were corroborated by Mrs.
Stegler, the young Georgia woman at
whose suggestion Stegler abandoned his
alleged plan to go abroad. According
to Mr. Griffiths, Stegler was to have
sailed for England to work for the Ger
man government, in obtaining informa
tion as to the whereabouts of an Eng
lish fleet of dreadnoughts supposed to
be in St. George's channel.
Places Task on Another
Stegler was to have gone on the
steamer Franconia, according to the
lawyer, and when he decided not to go
the young German American whom he
knew by sight but not by name as
signed to the perilous task and sailed
on the steamer with a T>ogUs passport
in his pocket.
Captain Boy-Ed denied all the state
ments alleged to have been made by
Stegler- The naval attache said he had
tried to obtain employment for Stegler
and had advanced money on account of
traveling expenses because he thought
he could place him with a friend in
Germany who wanted to employ a good
linguist. Later, Captain Boy-Ed con
tinued. he had declared that Stegler
was not a suitable person for the posi
tion he had in mind and had asked
Stegler to return the money advanced.
This Stegler had not done, Captain
"Boy-Ed said.
False, Says Captain Boy-Ed
"The impression that Stegler wishes
to create," Captain Bov-Ed added,
"that the real intention of his trip
was to act as a spy for the German
government, is false."
Roger B. Wood, the Assistant United
States District Attorney, who is pre
senting the case to the Federal Grand
Jury, said
"This department will get to the
bottom of whatever there is to get to
the bottom of. The rest of the work, if
there is any tc be done, is up to the au
thorities at Washington."
German Ambassador Silent
Count Von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador to the United States, de
clined through his secretary to-day to
make amy statement or give any inter-]
view upon any subject, including the
story told by Richard P. Stegler, a
German naval reservist, under arrest in
this city, charged with fraudulently se
curing an American passport.
Dr. K. A. Fuehr, who was forr.ierly
employed as an interpreter at the Ger
man consulate in Yokohama, Japan,
gave out a statement to-dlay in which
he denied that part of Stegler's story
which referred to him.
George S. Vierick, editor of the
magazine, said Stegler had called upon
him but that he did not ask for work.
Stegler, said Vierick, asked for as
sistance in securing an American pass
port, saying that he had work of a con
fidential nature to do. Mr. Vierick, who ,
is an American citizen, said 1 he refused
to be a party to any scheme to get an
American passport for Stegler.

EFFORTS TO STOP FARMERS
GIVING POTATOES TO STOCK
Berlin, Feb. 26, Via London, 11.35
A. M. —The Bundeerath, having learned
that German farmers were using pota
toes too freely for fodder, has raised
the prices of potato products. It is be
lieved this will prevent the consump
tion of potatoes by cattle. In the fu
ture potato flakes will cost *8 7 " ■
220 pounds and potato starch will cost
sl2 per hundred kilograms (220
pounds).
Under their former prices potatoes
were much the cheapest cattle feed
available and farmers'were storing them
for the use of their livestock. The sole
right, to manufacture potato products
has been vested in a government con
trolled company which has been empow
ered to expropriate potatoes for its pur
poses.
Frankford-on-the-Main and Mecklen
burg have decided to follow the ex
ample of Berlin and introdiuee bread
cards. The former city limits the per
capita weekly consumption to 1,400
grams and the latter to 1,600 grams.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Condoned From Flrat I'ace.
other hand fully expects another Ger
man drive at Warsaw, this time from
the north.
Three warships of the Anglo-French
fleet which bombarded the Dardanelles
are said by the Turkish authorities in
a statement issued at Constantinople to
have been damaged. The statement
does not refute specifically the British
claim that all of the outer forts of the
Dardanelles were reduced, but conveys
a contrary idea, asserting that the fleet
withdrew after a bombardment of 7y t
flours.
The capture of Przasnysz, in North
ern Poland, by the Germans has not
been confirmed from Petrograd, The
latest report from the Russian general
staff speaks of a concentration of Ger
man efforts in the direction of Przas
nysz. Considerable successes for the
Russians are claimed in actions along
the Warsaw front and In Gallcia, in
which regions, it is said, that impor
tant points were captured from the Aus
trians and the Germans. The cor
respondent of a Cologne newspaper re
ports that the Russians have suffered
another reverse in Bukowina and that
their final opposition has been shat
tered, the province being cleared of the
invaders.
Fighting between Austria and Monte
negro, which has been almost at a
standstill during the mid-winter months,
has been resumed. A dispatch from
French sources states that an Austrian
force which attacked a Montenegrin
column in the Austrian province of Bos
nia was repulsed after a violent fight.
Germany is framing a reply to the
American note concerning food supplies
for civilians in belligerent countries and
mines and submarines. The hope is
growing in Berlin that the American
proposals may form a basis for nego
tiations which may lead to an adjust
ment of the difficulties which have aris
en. The British Admiralty gave out a
statement to the effect that since Feb
ruary IK, when the German naval war
zone decree went into effect, there
have been 708 arrivals and 07:1 sailings
from British ports of the United King
dom, and that German submarines have
sunk seven vessels.

HOPES TO RETAIN PASTOR
Fifth Street Congregation Wants the
Rev. B. H. Hart for Fifteenth Year
As the time of the nnnual confer
ence of the 'Methodist Episcopal
Church of the Central Pennsylvania
district draws near, the members of the
Fifth Street Methodist church are
growing anxious about the retention of
their pastor, the Rev. B. H. Hart, who
has been at the church for the last
fourteen years. It is feared by some
that he will be transferred, while others
are of the opinion that a change is
unlikely.
Although at one time Methodist min
isters were not permitted to stay at
one church more than three years, and
later not than five years, such
restrictions were removed some years
ago, and there is now no prescribed
limit. It depends now chiefly on the
conference, and the Fifth Street people
do not want their energetic pastor ta
ken awav from them.
J. W. Fenton, a prominent member of
the congregation, said this afternoon*
"I do- not think that the pastor Vill
be transferred.'
