f GERMAN MONEY

BOUGHT SUPPLIES TO HELP VILLA

Munitions Sent to Mexico Paid for by Enemy Agents, Evidence Shows. (Br Associated TreMs) WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 Documentary evidence intended to show that $380,000 worth of munitions shipped in 1915 to agents of Francisco Villa, the Mexican bandit leader, were paid for by F. A. Sommerfield, now interned as an enemy alien, was presented Tuesday to the senate committee investigating German propaganda by Mai. E. Lowry Humes, who is conducting the inquiry. The munitions were bought from the Western Cartridge company at Alton. 111., according to the evidence, and were paid for through the Mississippi Valley Trust company of St. Louis from funds transferred from the Guaranty Trust company of New York City. The first shipments were sent to Louis Goxiola of El Taso, Tex., who, it was alleged, dealt with

the bandit's brother, inpuuo viua, . but later the shipments were consign- ! ed direct to the latter, according to the evidence. Loans to .Germany. Maj. Humes told the committee he had been unable to trace the source of the funds which the Guaranty Trust company sent to the St. Louis bank. Sommerfield. he said, lived in a hotel in New York city and transacted his business with the St. Louis bank largely by mail and telegraph. Maj. Humes introduced documents showing payments to the cartridge company r,H atan lettera from the Guaranty

Trust company to the St. Louis bank, directing that sums be credited in the latter bank to Sommcrfield's account. Tuesday's testimony dealt also with loans to the German government through New York financial houses, some of which dealt with banks in Germany. Capt. George R. Lester, of the military interrlgence bureau, produced evidence showing that the total German loans negotiated from early in 1015, when Albert began his propaganda work, up almost to the time the United States entered the war amounted to approximately $33,777,000. covering cargoes on ships sunk or raptured by the British.

Wife Uses CleverHuse to Get Police Aid in Finding Husband

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 8. (Special) One way to get a wandering husband home: Tell the police that he dynamited a police station, killing ten detectives. Tell them, also, that he dynamited the Chicago federal building during a trial of the I. W. W. leaders. Tell the police that he is guilty of unnumbered other crimes. These were the methods that were used by Mrs. Domnick Coseterella of this city after husband had gone to work in Pennsylvania. November 24, 1917. the Milwaukee police station was dynamited, killing seven detectives, two other police officers and a woman who had gone to the station to file a complaint.. The police had no clew to the identity of the bomber. Six weeks ago Mrs. Mary Costerclla went to police headqueraters and told the police that her conscience was troubling her, that she could no longer conceal the knowledge that her husband was guilty of all the above crimes. She told the police that her husband was In Lancaster, Pa. She said she had been abandoned, and that her husband and his family had been guilty of leadership in a black hand gang of ill repute. The police started a hunt for the

man. They had been unable to get any other clew to the identity of the bombers. A few days ago they landed Costerella in Pennsylvania. When the wife learned he was being brought back, she hurried to police headquarters to confess that her charges were. all iction and that her husband had never committed any crime worse than leaving her to earn more money in the east than he could get here. And now the Milwaukee police are

They have searched the continent to locatae the missing husband, and now that they have found him they find nothing whatever on which to base any belief that the woman's story is true. Instead of a murderer of a dozen, it appears that Costerella has only murdered his wife's peace of mind, for he Is not sure he wants to go back to the wife who could tell such awful tales of him.

"Ludwig Boing, Druckerei." appears on a letterhead sent home by Joseph Brennan recently. In explanation Brennan wrote: "'This is the letter head of the firm formerly occupying the old mill, we are now billeted in.'' Continuing, he said: "Well, mother at last the censor ban has lifted and I can tell you where I am and where I have been. I landed in St. Nonaire and was there three days when we were sent to the front, and have ben there ever since and have sen some exciting times. Just seven days after landing we were

under shell fire in the little villa of Ambly near St. Mihiel. We remained in that place about six weeks and were moved back io Bar-leDuc, where we

stayed and established a park and worked out of there. There was not much doing there, only an air raid once in a while. I have been in and around Verdun all summer; was in St. Mihiel. right after it was taken. The people were certainly overjoyed at being released from the Germans. The natives would take off their hats and bow to the American as they marched through.

That is the place I met Bill Guigley

in, and then I got to take a look in. up in the Argonne sector, which was realy the worst of all, but the Americans broke through and the war is done. Now we are stationed in the city of Mulhouse near the river Rhine in Alsace, and you can imagine how the people here are after forty years of German rule. They give all the credit to the Americans. There is not much Frnech spoken here, mostly German, and a few speak English. We are biletted in an old woolen mill that has all the machinery and everything just as the Germans left it and it is certainly an up-to-date factory. I suppose we will stay here until we are sent home." Wilfred Mover returned Saturday to

Camp Devens, Mass., after spending a furlough with his parents. Mr. and

Mrs. Dan Moyer. Howard L. Webb, son of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Webb, has returned to Cape May. New Jersey, where he is in the Naval Air Station as chief store room keeper. Webb has been spending a short furlough In the city.
