losses occurred.

WOMAN HEARS PLOT
TO KILL PASTOR
Visitor to Cemetery Listens as Three
Men and Woman Arrange to
Slay Rev. Mr.. Kayser.
ONE MAN IS UNDER ARREST

GARY, Ind, Aug. 26.-With the
arrest today of George Schneider,
member of the Gary Saxon Verein,
charged with the murder of Edmond
NJ. Kayser, whose body was found
near his parsonage in Tolleston, a
suburb, Tuesday night, the police an
nounced they had abandoned the
theory the German pastor may have
been slain because of his pro-German
utteraHces. Schneider's face was cut
and bruised. He is said to have told
a relative he was in fight Tuesday
night. Chief of Police Heintz de-
clared his story unsatisfactory.
Schneider has been a member of st.
Johns Evangelical church, Tolleston,
of which the Rev. Mr.. Kayser was
pastor, but he is declared to have
been the pastors enemy. The pastor,
it is said, had incurred the displeas-
ure of members of the Saxon Verein
because of his opposition to plans of
that organization.
Developments in the Kayser murder
mystery today brought two women,
whose names were withheld by Chief
of Police Heintz, into the case
The 1irst of these womsa is one who
was visiting the grave of n child in
the cemetery near the Rev. Kayser's s
home. The second woman was seen by
the first with three or four men on the
night OF the murder, around a nearby
grave. They were. the first woman re-
ported to Chief Heintz, plotting the
murder Of Rev. Mr.. Kayser.
At one stage they flipped coin, ap-
parently to decide who was to perform
certain tasks in connection with the at
tack on the preacher, whose pro-Geman
activities in speeches and writing in a
community which included many Slavs,
friendly to the allies made him number
of enemies.
Il know a woman who took part in
the plot" said Chief Heintz. She has
disappeared from her home. l. cannot
give out the name Of the woman who
was an unwilling and frightened caves
dropper in the cemetery, for ! think 1t
would mean death to her. Following
up her story however, we found the
footprints of three or four men and
one woman around the grave. 1 have
reason to believe that there are dozens
of persons of Tolleston who could tell
most of the story if they cared to. or
dared to. 1t is a significant fact that
the grave where the plotters gathered
Is so located that a view OF the window
Of the room where Mr.. Kayser sat could
be had"

ROOSEVELT HITS RIGHT BACK

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Secre-
tary Garrison today telegraphed
Major General Leonard Wood ex-
pressing his depreciation that oppor-
tunity was given at the citizens sol
diery camp at Plattsburg, N. Y, for
Colonel Roosevelt's sensational
speech of yesterday and directing
nothing similar should be permitted
at any of the other camps.
Secretary Garrison referred to Colonel
Roosevelts remarks on the military un-
preparedness of the country and the at
titude of the administration. His tele-
gram to General Wood follows:
Il have just seen the report in the news
papers OF the speech made by ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the Plattsburg camp.
1t is difficult to conceive of anything
which could have a more detrimental eff
feet upon the real value of this expert q.
ment than such an incident
This camp. held under government
auspices, was successfully demonstrating
many things of great moment Its vir-
tue consisted in the fact that It con-
veyed its own impressive lessons i'm its
practical and successful operation and
results
Effect DlstractinE.
No opportunity should have been fur
nished to anyone 90 present to the men
any matter excepting that which was
essential to the necessary training they
were to receive. Anything else could only
have the effect Of distracting attention
from the real nature of the experiment.
diverting consideration to issues which
excite controversy antagonism and i'll
feeling and thereby impairing. II not lie
stroying. what otherwise would have been
so effective
There must not be any opportunity
given at Plattsburg or any other siplilar
camp for any such unfortunate oc-
currences."
Secretary Garrison said he had no
further action now under contemplation.
He said he had not discussed the matter
with President Wilson and had no knowi-
edge of the PRESIDENTS views. The secre-
tary said ne had not considered whether
his telegram to General Wood would have
any effect upon the generals record.
