GRAVES AGGUSED BY FRANKFORT GAZETTE Said fo Have Been Arested in Germany and England New York, Now 23.—According to he Frankfort Gazette, “‘Dr. Armgaard Jarl Graves,” who describes himself as an international spy of world-wide fame ,at one time in the confidence of the highest officials of Germany, ncluding the Kaiser himself, is in peality Max Meincke, at one time con- jrected with a more or 1 private detective agency in Brussel ent issue of the paper, reviewing his areer, asserts that Graves, or Mein- ke, has never heen connected with he German Secret Service. According jto the story as told by the Gazette, Graves has served terms prison in both Germany and in Great Britain. John J. Halligan, his lawyer, of 303 Broadway, admitted jyesterday that Graves had been sen- énced to .eighteen months in Scot- lAnd several years ago, and also that his client had been sentenced four months in jall in Bulgaria prior to fiis conviction in Scotland. On both pocasons, he added, the offense was bne of espionage undertaken in be- It of and at the instigation of the German government. Mr. Halligan said yesterday that Graves had told him that he had sed the name Meincke as an allas hile working .as a spy in Belgium fDl‘e the present war started. On Monday Graves appeared in the fupreme court of New York County nd announced his Intention of be- oming an American citizen. In his ppplication ho gave the name under kvhichi he is known in this country, ald that he was born in “Central s a subject of the late Josef, and that he was born 7. 1878. ‘Dr. Armgaard Karl Graves,’ * the rticle in the I'rankfort Gazette reads, “who has been lecturing and writing books against Germany in the United tes, is.Max Meincke, who was born n Berlin, May 7, 1882. He studied flentistry for a time and was later in he employ of a merchant. In 1898 he left Germany for the first time. Avoids Prison by Flight. “In 1911 he appeared in Wiesbaden hs ‘A. K. Graves, M. D.,”” and on May 27 of the same year was sentenced in a German court to six months’ im- | prisonment, but before the sentence s imposed he fled to Stettin. Mein- pke first asserted when examined in | pourt that he had earned the title } pt doctor of medicine of the Univer- of Adelaide in Australia, and that his right to the name ‘Graves’ was due to the fact that he had been pdopted by a Major Graves in Tavis- ock, West Australia. “Investigations by the proper au- horities disclosed that no such per- fon as the Major Graves mentioned by Meincke existed and furthermore hat there was no town in West Aus- | him out of the v THE WONDERFUL - FRUIT MEDICINE Thousands Owe Health And Strength To “Fruit-a-tives” “FRUIT-A-TIVES”, the marvellous medicine made from fruit juices — has relieved more cases of Stomack, Liver, | Blood, Kidney and Skin Tyoubles than any other medicine.

When con- fronted with these facts Meincke ad- mitted that he had been exaggerating. “While still living in Wiesbaden Meincke endeavored to attract atten- tion to himself by veiled allusions to acts involving espionage which he sald he had accomplished. Subse- quently he left Germany and went to Scotland and in 1912 was arrested at Glasgow, tried, and sentenced to serve cighteen months in prison for having in his possession ciphers which he re- fused to decipher.” “All of these statements against my client,” said Mr. Halligan, ‘“are inspired by the German government. He may have been known as Meincke in Brussels and probably was. Dr. Graves tells me that he had so many aliases that he has forgotten some of them, and that the name Meincke may he among those which have slip- ped his memory. Any statement that he has served several terms in Ger- man prisons is false and nobody knows that better than do the Ger- man authorities. “When he was in Belgium before the war he was not there in the em- ploy of any private detective agency, but as the agent of the German gov- ernment, sent there to get military maps of the country. He was sent to England for the same purpose and would have succeeded but for the fact that he was betrayed by an en- emy at the German court, who wanted That enemy was very close to Crown Prince Frederick Willlam. He did, not serve the sen- tence imposed in Scotland, but was released for ‘reasons of state’ by the British government.” A copy of the article which ap- peared in the Gazette has becn placed in the hands of the United States naturalization authorities in New York and it was said yesterday that in the event Graves applied for full citizen- ship he would be asked to explain cer- tain statements made in the article.

Dr. Graves is at liberty under $2,- 000 bail, charged with having at- tempted to blackmail the Countess von Bernstorff, wife of the German ambassador. He says he has certain cipher letters addressed to, but not intended, he says, for the countess. Story Malicious, Says Graves. Dr. Graves issued the following statement last night in regard to the article ia the Frankfort Gazette: “The whole article is malicious and unfair, and I do not wish at present to make a detailed statement in re- gard to it. I will, however, call at- tention to certain points which I want to make clear. “First, concerning the assertion that I was ever connected with a de- tective agency in Brugels: 1 was there as the head of an institution, a college of philosophy, the funds of which were supplied by the German government, and the faculty of which were my subordinates in the Imperial Secret Service. “Second, as to my terving terms in English prisons: I was caught, tried, and convicted in 1912 ir England as a German spy, and, after fighting the British government to a stand- still, when I was convicted I admit- ed that I had a fair and square trial. The British government is not in the habit of convicting any man without an exhaustive trial, and if the Brit- ish government found me guilty of being a German spy you may rest as- sured that a German spy I was. “Third, I was never convicted in Bulgaria. I was arrested there and released after forty-eight hours. “Fourth, as regards the statement about my veiled. allusions to esplon- age made in Wiesbaden: This must seem a joke to any one acquainted with German officialdom, for no one with even the slightest suspicion of espionage attached to him would be able to travel 100 metres in Germany, especially in Prussia.’ SCOTS HAVE IT EASY- The fine time indulged in by mem- bers of Clan Douglas O.

Faculty Committee Bars Captain for Summer Bascball. Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 23.—Captain Frank Clary of the Cornell baseball team has lost his appeal for rein- statement and will not be able to ay baseball next spring. The facul- committee of student affai viewing a formal order of the ath letic council, which _had Clary ineligible, sustained the coun- cil's ruling on the ground that Clary had violated the summer baseball rule in that he took part in games in which admission was charged. There was no question of remunera- tion in the case and there was no charge that the fire company team on which he played in this city or the team in the Auburn Industrial league on which he played one game were anything but amateur teams. At the 1ime that Clary was debarred by the council, Pitcher Valentine and Short- stop Eckley were also put under the ban for a similar offense. Valentine and Eckley were later declared elig- ible by the same faculty committee wkich took adverse action in Clary’'s case. Their decision against the Cor- nell captain, in view of the ruling in the other cases, has caused much surprise. It ig understood that the committee’s reason for debarring Clary is that while he was playing games with the Firemen’s league he was notified that such a course was in violation of the rules, but that he played in a game in Auburn after re- ceiving such notification, NOW WHO'S BOS Resta May Be Fearless Auto Racer But of His Wife, That's Different. Los Angeles, Nov. 23.—Daria Resta will not be seen in the Ascot road race Thanksgiving Day. His wife h persuaded the renowned Ftalian driv. er not to enter. Resta’s decision not to take part in the big race may have been influenced by the action of Johnny Aitken, who decided to pass up the contest. Aitken’s refusal to start in the As. cot race was influenced by the fatali- ties attending the Grand Prix race of last Saturday over the same course, it is said. Another reason given was the fact that the speed champion considered the prize money inadequate to tha risk. RUSH MAY QUIT. Recent Failure of Tigers Against Yale, May Mean New Coach. Princeton, N. J- Nov. 28—As the re- sult of failure to beat either Yale or Harvard in two years, Coach Speedy Rush will probably lose his job as coach at Princeton. [t is said that he be succeeded by Steve McClave, who was a star in 1899, 1900 and 1901. Jim Conney and Eddie Hart of Princeton gridiron fame are also men- tioned. There is no criticism of Rush as a man, but he was brought to Prince- ton to put the eleven on a winning basis and he did not do it. So his head must go into the basket. Mc- Clave is said to have made a good record as coach at Adelphi academy in Brooklyn, N. Y. Rush’s friends claim he could not do himself justice because his material consisted of vet- erans who had been taught a different system and oould not learn anything new. the representatives of the organiza- | declared | FATI A Sensible Cigarette Every time you see a man smoking a Fatima, you know he is getting all the comfort that is possible in a cigarette.
