Declined To Be Spy.
In substance, Goricar is accredited
with making the statement that he re
signed his post after 15 years in the
Austrian consular service because he
declined to perform the work of a spy.
Ordered To Get V. S. Plans.
lie charges that while- consul at San
Francisco, commander Maximilian Bur
styn. the Austrian naval attache at
Washington, ordered him to gather
plans of the fortifications of San Fran
cisco harbor and along the Pacific
coast and especially to get details of
the works at Bremerton navy yard-
hen he refused. Goricar is accredited
with saying, he was transferred to Ber
lin where, after five months, he was
ordered to proceed to Vienna, which he
feared to do because of his pro-Slavic
affiliations. So he fled to Rome, where
he resigned last December.
Telia of Consular Activities.
Goricar's story contends that the
German ambassador, working with von
Nuber. ia in touch with the Austrian
consuls at Cleveland. St. Louts. Pitts
burg. St. Paul. Chicago and Philadel
phia, who spread propaganda among
tbe foreign workers in the munitions
factories, and such activity, Goricar
alleges, extends even to controlmg the
foreigners through fraternal and secret
organizations. The alleged extent of
the activities of the Austrian consuls
and the socalled spy system are de
scribed at length in Goricar's published
statement. Goricar's record shows he
first came to this country in 1309 and
was consul at Pittsburg, Denver and
finally San Francisco, where he served
three years

authorities had received
information about his secret connec

out permission and disappeared. Later
on it was learned tbat he had gon.

thereby preventing his dismissal.
Relations With Austria and Servia.

to tbe United States to use his knowl
edge of the centers of Slavic immigra

propaganda and with the Intention of
disseminating disloalty among our
immigrants against their country.
Alllci Knllntlnc Slaw
The Austro-Hungarian embassy has
been informed that quite a number of
southern Slavs from the monarchy havi
been enlisted by the agents of the
allies and hae left this country to
fight against the Austro-Hunganan
army. It is ver probable that Dr
Goricar's subversive activity contribut
ed, to these very regrettable acts of
treason, which. certainly without
changing the outcome of the war, will
be of the gravest consequence for those
who may be made prisoners of war.
