Bulgarians and Turks
Want Right to Pursue
Enemy on Greek Soil

PARIS. October 27.-The Hestia of
Athens as quoted by the Havas Agency,
says that steps are being taken by the
Bulgarian and Turkish ministers to
Greece with the intention of establish
ing the right of their governments
troops to pursue the Serbians and their
allies into Greek territory should the
occasion arise. i
These ministers, the Hestia says, have
complained to Premier Zaimis of Greece
that the presence of foreign troops in
Greek Macedonia is contrary to a spirit
of neutrality and places the Bulgarian
forces operating in Serbian Macedonia
in a difficult situation. M. Zaimis re-
called the fact that Greece had rre-
tested to the allies at the time of the
first landing of troops
Since making this reply to Turkey
and Bulgaria the question has rot been
discussed. but it is expected further
representations will be made to Greece.
The Bulgarian newspapers are con-
Quoting a campaign against the pres
ence of allied troops at Saloniki.

PAUL SlEB OF NEW YORK

Officers Admissions.

NEW YORK. October 27.-Max Brei-
tung, the fifth man named in the con-
spiracy which federal detectives al
legged was formed for the purpose of
destroying ships laden with war NUM-
tions for the allies, surrendered today
to the authorities. He appeared before
United States Commissioner Houghton,
accompanied by counsel, and after the
governments complaint had been read
to him he was held in $4,000 bail for
further hearing next week.
Breitung, who is a relative of Ed
ward N. Breitung. the banker of this
city and Marquette, Mich, furnished
the necessary bond and was released.
He came here directly from Chicago,
he said, as soon as he heard of the
proceedings, in order to give him.
self up.
Others Still in Custody.
Lieut.. Robert Fay, Walter L. Scholz,
Paul Daeche and DR.. Herbert Kienzle,
charged with being co-conspirators
with Breitung, were still held in Jail
today. Their hearing also is set for
next week.
Government detectives are busily en-
gagged in an investigation of the al
legged plot, and it was said that new
developments might be expected at
any time.
1t was reported today that after Brei-
tung had been taken into custody of the
federal authorities they would make fur
ther disclosures Indicating that the con-
spiracy was the most serious plot uncoy-
cred in this country since the war began.
None of the federal officials would ad-
nit that any persons higher up in the
conspiracy were sought, despite reports
that Fay and Walter Scholz were acting
under the direction Of superiors.
Statement by Paul Sieb.
Paul sieb, who has been living in
New York under the name of Karl F.
Opegaarde since last February and
who acted as a broker in the sale of
some of the explosive ingredients sold
to Fay, is quoted today as saying that
two months ago Max Breitung asked
him to buy $50 pounds of potassium
chlorate. Sieb said he sold the chem
ical to Breitung for $110. Two weeks
ago. he said, Dr. Herbert Kienzle asked
him to buy 100 pounds Of trinitrotoluol
for Fay and that DIR. Kienzle intro
duced him to Fay. He said that he OBJ
tanned twenty-five pounds of the chem
ical and sold it to Fay.
Fay admitted he wanted to blow up
something with the T. N T.. but did not
mention destroying ships at sea. He
said he wanted to blow up the main
chemical plant in this country which
was supplying a certain acid to the
manufacturers of high explosive shells.
He said they would go to this plant at
night when no one would be there and
80 no lives would be lost. j know now
that 1t was a fake story told for my

The machine politicians of both parties
are dead set against granting the women

the males do not care to admit them to a
share of the spoils of politics. Besides
there is a powerful anti-suffrage organi-

DAMAGE SUIT TO JURY
Justice Gould Sustains Theater
Managers Right to Eject Pa
irons in Certain Cases.

Patrons of theater or other place
of amusement whose patriotic spirits
move them to stand during the rendi-
ton of "The Star Spangled Banner"
must be seated when requested by the
management or they may be elected
from the theater, according to a ruling
of Justice Gould of the District Su
preme Court. The justice yesterday
declined to submit to a jury suit for
$4,000 damages brought by ]. Frank
Wahl against the Washington Theater
Company, and directed verdict for
the defendant.
In making the ruling Justice Gould
announced that he was not in SYM
pathy with the law which gives to the
theater manager the right to revoke
the license given by ticket to a pa
from the theater provided he uses only
reasonable force.
He quoted, however. from New Jersey
decision. and from the Supreme Court of
Of the theater manager. He indicated
that the legislators alone could change
this condition, which would seem to per-
init the removal of a patron who even
sneezes If the management becomes Of

Claim Made by Wahl.
Young Wahl had been member Of the
National Guard. and. according to his
claim, was merely paying respect to the
flag when he stood while the patriotic air
