Two Suspects
Arrested in the
Black Tom Case
NEW YORK, August 12.—The Jer
sey City police arrested Erling Iver
son and Axel Larsen, Norwegians, at
their boarding house, 241 Grove street
Jersey City, yesterday on charges of
being suspicious persons. They are
held on suspicion of complicity in set
ting the $15,000,000 Black Tom island ;
lire and explosions on the morning of
July 30, according to Police Inspector
Battersby. ,
Both of the men gave their address !
as 319 Gardner Street, Union hill. 1
They have been living at the Grove i
street address for the past live week.
Neighbors reported to the police that I
the men had been acting in a suspi- I
cious manner, especially on the night ;
of the explosion and the day follow
ing. (
When Detectives Rooney, Casey,
and Zelinsky went to the boarding 1
house at noon yesterday they found t
the two men ready to leave the place.
The detectives searched their room ]
and found in a violin case a mass of
papers. There were drawings of a
submarine, with the note that it could
make 73 miles an hour, and had been
planned for the United States navy.
The plans were marked in the corner.
“Accepted by J. Howard, Chief U. S.
Submarine Dept., June 2*, 1916.” On
another corner was written, “To be
built by Iverson & Co., London.”
The Navy Register contains the
name of no Captain J. Howard nor
any record of the office of “Chief ol
the Submarine department.”
The detectives also found a book in
which there were shorthand notes.
Iverson, its owner, said he could not
write shorthand. The police said they
found letters from relatives in Nor- j
; way showing that the men had pro-1
j German leanings. There was also an 1.
'uncompleted letter from Iverson to»j
! his mother in London telling of the j
'explosion and saying: “I expect there
: will be more, for there are still 6? i
I cars of ammunition in the Black Tom !
j yard.”
| Larsen said he was employed on the j
Pennsylvania railroad tugboat Rad- ;
: ner and worked the night of the ex- !
plosion. Iverson said that he had not j
! been working recently,
i Frank Underhill, of the federal de-,!
ipartment of justice, was in Jersey
City yesterday investigating the case
of the two men.
The police of New York and Jersey
City, as well as agents of the govern
ment have been at work trying to1
verify information that comes from
highly reliable sources that the explo
sion which destroyed the Lehigh Val
ley railroad’s Black Tom terminal in
Jersey City was the work of alien
plotters, acting in this country in the
interest of a foreign government.
A man who is in touch with the in
vestigations now under way said yes
terday that there was every reason to
believe that the explosion of benzola.
a benzine compound, in the Lehigh
Valley yards last Sunday night and
the big explosion of the previous Sun
day were both developments in a plot
to hinder the e-xportation of war ma
terials from the United States to Eu
rope.
On the occasion of the explosion of
last Sunday night two men were seen
hurriedly to leave the Lehigh Valley
yards a few minutes before the explo
sion occurred. These men were well
dressed, and one of them wore white
spats. Fairly good descriptions of
both of these men are said to be in
the possession of the authorities.
A letter read with much interest by

persons identified with the investiga
tion of the Jersey City explosions yes
terday is one recently found in Ger
man-bound mail by agents of one of
the allied powers. This letter refers
to the explosion and wrecking of ves- [
sels laden with explosives in Seattle,!
in the late spring of 1915, and the J
writer stated that if he could get an
other chance to destroy similarly lad- i
en vessels he would not hesitate to
take the risk involved. The writer of
the letter is known and copies it was
said yesterday, have been placed in:
the hands of the proper federal au-;
thorities.
German Writer in Seattle Plot.
The letter roads as follows:
St. Louis .Mo., April 18, 1916.
My dear Parents and Brothers and,
Sisters: Three-quarters of.
the population here are German.
Just opposite to where I work there is
a drug factory, under Italian and
French management, which is manu
facturing drugs for your enemies and
there are actually Germans who work j
for these scoundrels—but 1 must
frankly admit that there is a great j
deal of poverty among the workers. *
* * However, you will never sup-:
pose that I would work on war mate-'
rial for your enemies. I would rather |
!ni2nJ2njanjj
become a thief.
On the contrary, if you will study
my letters of a year ago you will per
haps discover why I disappeared so
suddenly from Seattle and Portland,
Oie. At that time 1 helped our Erich
and our eastern army a bit, as what
was destined for Vladivostok and the
Russians was sent to the bottom of
the harbor of -, and 1 only wish 1
could get another chance like that. 1
would not hesitate to risk it. *
I he Germans here are very fond of
their old home, and it was at St. Louis
that the Wilhelmina was fitted out,
which the British seized in February,
101.). The Wilhelmina ■.'.ms known to
have a cargo of foodstuffs. f * * 1
wish Japan would come owr to Mexi
co and give Uncle Sam a nut to crack,
so that these scoundrels cannot . I
munitions to Europe any more.
Many people here nave put tlicir
savings into the German-Austrian
Hungarian war loans. Your OTTO.
In the original letter, as in the copy,
the name of the harbor in vhich th >
munition vessels were sunk is loft
blank. 1 he harbor referred to, how
ever, is believed to be that of Seattle,
where, in May, 11)15, several barges
laden with explosives consigned to the
Russian government were blown up.
