Combination Missing, Osborne
Calls In Three Ex.Stars to
Solve Problem.

Three of the "boys" in Sing Sing
prison who in the good old days were
looked upon as expert safe crackers
and VINO were versed in their line as
well as ever Jimmy Valentine was, had
an opportunity to display their skill
yesterday afternoon upon second
hand safe which had been sent TO the
prison to protect the inmates money.
When the safe arrived Warden Os-
borne found that the sender had for
gotten to send the combination. He de-
cided-t to give the "boys" chance to
open it. Calling 80. K" Bill Myers, a
delegate of the Mutual Welfare League,
into his Office, the warden asked him.
BILL, how are you on opening safes y
Bill replied with a smile, Really,
warden, it is so long since | have in
dulged that guess have forgotten all
| ever knew. but if you have a little
soup handy guess could manage to
open her"
The warden said he was sorry, but
the operation would have to 60 on
without the Soup" Then Bill called
in two other of the "boys" in whom he
had confidence, and among them the
safe door was opened, while the warden
and some of his assistants looked on.
Warden Osborne will discard the
combination and get two keys for the
safe, one Of which will be turned over
to Bill Trafry, the former baseball
pitcher. The other he will keep. The
banking is expected to start within n

Sheriff Max S. Grifenhagen jumped
into the campaign yesterday for Under
Sheriff Frank NJ. Bowers, the Republi-

hagen spoke at several meetings during
the afternoon and evening and strongly
denounced the Tammany candidate,

Sheriff Grifenhagen reviewed the leg

union had never before said anything
commendable about Smith. In 1910
they recommended him for retire

designated Smith as IAN experienced

THEY DARE NOT SELL
Chips in Bethlehem Gamble, Too
Big to Unload on Public,
May Be Split.

The man who had a $4,000 bill but
could not buy a ham sandwich had
less worries than the small group OF
Wall Street men who marked Bethle-
hem Steel from about $50 TO $500 a
share. They have paper profits Of
many millions and most Of the stock.
They would like to change the paper
profits into real, honest 10 goodness
profits they can deposit in their banks.
but if they try to do this they fear
the bottom will drop out OF the market
and even paper pronts Will vanish, lor
in marking VI prices they have IN
way overreeched, for at $500 share
the chips in this premier war babe
gamble are too large TO handle.
To add to their troubles, each is
afraid the other will try to get the
cream off the market by being the first
10 sell and none is made any more
comfortable by the knowledge that
Bethlehem may 80 10 700 or l,OOO. Inc

some one else should have these pos

somebody else. -,
In many respects the situation Is the
most peculiar that has arisen in wall
Street in many years. The stock IS
closely held, yet II is not cornered. In
il there is substantially no short IN
terest. That was long ago forced 70
cover. Nor is there much chance OF
its being renewed. Wall Street is full
of men who believe Bethlehem would
be dear at one-third OF its present
price. but if they wish to sell they nave
difficulty in arranging the trade, for
some of the largest houses refuse 10
sell Bethlehem unless the certlfcctes
are handed in with the order The IN

u. S. May Protest to
German Government

Washington, Oct. 25.-If the State
Department determines that Robert
Fay is telling the truth in his story to
the New York police of how he, a
lieutenant in the German army, was
sent TO this country by the German
Secret Service for the purpose OF dis
abling by explosives steamships leav-
ing American ports for Europe, the
matter probably will be made the sub
iect OF vigorous representations 10 the
German government.
State Department officials were in
terested to-day in press accounts 81
the confession said to have been made
to the police, and il was said that a
report on the case was expected to-
morrow from agents of the secret ser
vice who assisted in arresting Fay an
his alleged accomplices.
The American government, the ON
cials said, would regard such an ac-
ton as Fay attributes 10 the German
secret service as an offence against
the United States of grave character.
IL was explained, however, that not
enough was known of the matter ON
cially TO hazard a presumption regard
ing the form any representations which
might be made would take.
As 20 Captain Boyd and Captain
Won Papen. of the German Embassy,
il was said that if Fay told the truth
in his so-called confession no blame
could attach TO them. Fay is quoted as
having said that Captains boy-kc ami
Won Papen, when approached by him.
refused 10 have anything TO do with
his scheme and advised against il.
All the information in the hands Of
the State Department has led officials
TO believe that no action toward prose-
cutting Fay and his alleged cocoon
spirators could be taken by the Fed
eral authorities. In fact, IT was point
ed out, the government m light appear
more in the nature OF defender than
prosecutor when the men came to trial
in the New York or New Jersey courts
for the reason that it is bound TO see
that all rights Of Fay. as a subject OF
GERMANY are protected.
