The existence of a plot whereby se- cret information regarding the buying of munitions for the French gover ment by J. P. Morgan & Co. was stolen from the Morgan firm and sold to munitions manufacturers was revealed, it was asserted, through thic tapping of the telephone wires of the law firm of Seymour & Seymour, 120 Broadway, New York city. This facc was disclosed by the insistence of Mayor Mitchell of New York that all the circumstances surrounding the tapping of the law firm's tele- phone wires should be laid before the public in order to justify the city’s police department, headed by Com- missioner Arthur Woods, in tapping wires and listening in whenever the comr ion of a crime is suspected. The mayor practically forced the Thompson legislative committee to reveal the whole story after Senator Thompson, its chairman, had shown a disposition to delay his investigation of the subject. It was also asserted that the wires of the same law firm were tapped for the purpose of ob- | taining information regarding the al- leged shipment by German agents in this country of large suppli of mu- nitions to Mexican bandi although they were ostensibly purchased for the allies. Representative Loft of New York has introduced a resolu- | tion asking the house of representa- {tives to investizate the matter. No. 1, Comm oner Wood Mo. 2. 4. B.
