"Edward A. Rumely, vice president, secretary and publisher of the New York Evening Mail, was arrested late yesterday afternoon by agents of the Government, charged with perjury. The charge grew out of a statement filed with A. Mitchell Palmer, the Alien Property Custodian, in which Rumely asserted that The Evening Mail was an American-owned newspaper. The Government is in possession of evidence which, it is held, shows that instead of being owned by Americans, the paper is in fact owned by the Imperial German
Government, which on June 1, 1915, paid to Rumely, through Walter Lyon, of the former Wall Street house
of Renskorf. Lyon & Co., the sum of $735.0U0, which transferred the control of the newspaper to the Kaiser."
