Talk Here Cost Lives
of Two Canal PlOtterS

The Welland Canal has been under
the strictest guard since the outbreak
Of the war and the fact has long been
known in New York. At the Engineers
Club the story is told Of how because
of conversation overheard IN the res
taurant OF the Flstiron Building two
German conspirators were executed in
Canada year ago.
The execution of these men took
place a few months after the outbreak
Of hostilities and just before navigation
through the canal closed for the win
ter. Though the blocking would affect
traffic for only short time before ice
developed, the actual tie-up would have
been much longer, as in winter it would
have been impossible to make the re-
pairs necessary 10 open the waterway
IN the spring.
Ways and means OF destruction were
under discussion at table in the Flat
iron restaurant one lunch hour when,
according TO the story as told, an en-
gineer who had just returned from
Canada, where he had done some work
on the canal, took a nearby table. He
paid no attention TO his neighbors until
he heard the word "Welland." Listen
ing to the conversation. which was In
German, he was convinced that an
effort would be made in the very near
future to destroy the canal. He ate
an unusually big lunch that day.
When it was over he telephoned the
superintendent of the canal an outline
of what he had heard and advised that
q watch be kept for his lunch mates:
Within the week he received tele--
gram asking him to report to the canal
officials at once. Arriving in Canada,
he was taken to prison, where he iden-
tilted one of his neighbors at lunch:
This man and another had been arrested
two days after the restaurant incident;
In their possession were dynamite and
the necessary apparatus for exploding
IL and a detailed plan Of the canal.

SHOOTS A BRIDE,
KILLS HIMSELF
Woman's Refusal to Elope with
Friend of Fatherland
Causes Tragedy.

A romance that began In Germany
ended last night in the hallway Of 1876
Third Avenue when William Schmie-
den, an oiler on the Mallory Line, shot
Mrs. Elsie Schultz, a bride, twenty
four years old, and then shot himself
through the head. He died instantly
The young wife was removed to Belle
vue in a dangerous condition, with a
bullet wound in her left breast.
They had known each other in the
Fatherland. other tenants in the build
ing said. When Schmieden came here
from Mexico six weeks ago and took q
room at 300 East Eighty-sixth Street
he tried TO renew his acquaintance
with the only friend he had in the city.
He asked Mrs. Schultz to elope with
him and she refused, the police
learned from neighbors who went TO
view Schmieden's body at the East
Twenty Street station.
In his pockets the police found a
small button bearing Mrs. Schultz S
picture, and photograph Of her with
"Deine Elsie" written across the back.
Another inscription in German script
read "Zu Meinem Herzen-W Willie"
Max Schultz, husband of the wounded
woman, is a bartender.
Mrs. Schulz went shopping with
Mrs. Emily Foster, Of PIP East
Twenty Street yesterday after
noon. They were entering the hall
way at 1876 Third Avenue when Schmie-
den stepped up to speak to Mrs.
Schultz. She fell to the floor at the
first shot from his revolver. The next
three bullets went wild. scattering a
crowd of shoppers on Third Avenue.
Two more shots directed at his own
head ended his life.

Shortly before he left his Office

have him released, but he is being

employ of Koenig, working for small
salary, and several months ago had ar
alteration with his chief over the non.
payment of $50 which he said Koenie
owed him. Cutting loose from the arch.
conspirator, Fuchs made disclosures to
Chief William VI. Offiey that FASTENED

A report was current yesterday that
Fuchs was in reality British spy
working with Koenig, but against him
Fuchs is said to have given the infor-
nation that led to the arrest of the
young credit clerk in the National City
Bank.
Information that filtered from the
bank into the Office If Koenig in the
Hamburg-American Line Office is said
TO have been of much Importance to
Koenig. Through it he was able to
keep in touch with the nature of the
supplies that were being manufactured
for the Allies, their routing and ulti-
mate destination across the Atlantic.
Thus he was able to send out tips to
the thousands OF plotters, to be scat
tered throughout the United States, In
forming them of what factories were
doing business for the Allies, what
their contracts called for and how much
of the stuff was ready for shipment
In this manner goods destined for Eng

who were willing TO work for a mere

Although millions Of dollars we're

eminent an opportunity Of complying
without offence to its honor.
Much OF the argument In The Aus
trian note will be passed over as irrele-
want. This is particularly true OF the
objection that Austria is not bound by
Germany's acceptance OF the American
point OF view on submarine warfare.
Secretary Lansing holds that the An
coma case is on the same plane as the
Lusitania case and that Austria must
be held accountable, without reference
70 this governments controversies with
Germany. Reference TO tbis was made
in the original note, II Is said, merely
10 indicate that tho United states mad
already placed itself on record concern
ing the laws protecting non-combatants
on the high seas.
In comparing the Ancona 10 the Lusi-
tania case, the State Department shows
clearly how its temper has changed in
e few months. The latter case, after
five notes and a sf les of informal con-
versations between Secretary Lansing
and Ambassador Won BernstOrf. is not
anywhere near a final settlement. The
Ancona case, supposedly parallel, on the
other hand, has brought the American
and Austrian governments 10 the verge
of an open breach.
II was agreed in Official quarters that
the Austrian note did not minimize a
realization Of the grHity Of the situa-
tion which was impressed on officials by
the unofficial cables, but II also was sp-
parent that the door TO further nego-
tiations was not closed.
The State Department also made pub
lie an official text Of the Austrial Ad-
miraltys statement, previously pub
lished, which admitted that The subma-
rine fired on the Ancona after the ship
had come TO a stop aItl while passen-
gers still were aboard. II was upon
this Official admission o. The Austrian
Admiralty itself that q principal por-
ton Of the American note was based.

TO DIG BARNEGAT CANAL
Philadelphia Firm VIII Start Dredges
in a Few Days.

Point Pleasant, N. j., Dec. 1S.-Con-
struction Of the proposed inland
waterway connecting Barnegat Bay and
the Manasquan River will be started
within a few days by the Richards
Dredging Company, of Philadelphia.
The Richards company were one of
the bidders for the work last summer,
but were unsuccessful. However, after
the successful bidders defaulted, nego-
tiations were opened with them look
ing toward their assumption of the
work.
The canal will be almost two miles
long, and the contract with the Rick
ards company calls for section about
half a mile long. By the time this
work is completed 1t is hoped that the
Legislature will have appropriated
money for the remainder Of the route
without delaying the operations In any
way.
