HELD UNDER $4,000 BAIL
New Developments in Case

Time, Is Report
HELD UNDER $4,000 BAIL

New York. Oct. %. - Max Breitung
the fifth man named in the conspiracy
which federal detectives alleged was
formed for the purpose of destroying
ships laden with war munitions for
the allies, surrendered to-day to the
authorities. He appeared before
United States Commissioner Hough-
ton, 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 relative of Ed
ward n. Breitung the banker of this
city and Marquette. Mich, furnished
He came here directly from Chicago
he said, as soon as he heard of the
proceedings in order to give himself
up.
Lieut. Robert Fay, Walter L. Scholz
Paul Daeche and DIR. Herbert Kienzle
charged with being co-conspirators
with Breitung were still held in Jail to-
day. Their hearing is also set for next
week
Government detectives are busily
engaged in an investigation of the al
developments might be expected al
any time.
1t was reported to-day that after
Breitung had been taken into custody
of the federal authorities they would
make further disclosures indicating
that the conspiracy was the most SER
ious plot uncovered in this country
since the war began.
Not After Men Higher Up"
None of the federal officials would
admit that any persons higher up in
the conspiracy were sought, despite
reports that Fay and Walter Scholz
were acting under the direction of SUI
periors. Paul Sieb who has been liv-
ing in New York under the name of
Karl +. Opegaarde since last Feb
ruary and who acted as a broker In
the sale of some of the explosive in
gradients sold 10 Fay is quoted to-day
as saying that two months ago Max
Breitung asked him to buy $50 pounds
of potassium chlorate. Sieb said he
sold the chemical to Breitung for
$40. Two weeks ago. he said, DR..
Herbert Kienzle asked him to buy 100
pounds of trinitrotoluol for Fay and
that DR.. Kienzle introduced him to
Fay. He said that he obtained 25
pounds of the chemical and sold it to
Fay.
ay admltted he wanted to blow
up something with the T. n. T., but
he did not mention destroying ships al
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 so that no lives would be
lost. I know now that it was a fake
story told for my benefit"
The plot became known to the au-
thorities when the man from whom
Sieb bought his chemicals reported the
purchases of explosives to the French
naval attache here and he in turn noti-
fed the police.

Little Dissertation Concerning the IT.
 Difference Betzoeen Obstinacy and Frraness

until finally it went up with a bang as the train steamed into a station. The quiet gentleman who had insisted on clos ing the window, now rose and said: Tt doesn't matter; get off here"
 The fresh-air advocate tasted for a mo- ment the bitterness of defeat; then he said, "So do I,'' nodding hastily at the same time to his astonished friend And he opened the door and jumped out, though he ought to have stayed on board the train.
 The quiet man, who had not yet got off, closed the window, and, grinninS at the infuriated face of the firm man on the platform, sat down as the train moved off, though he had intended to get out, too.
 After had read the story 1t ''sort of. fingered in my brain and the question came to my mind that there was a very wlde yet exceedingly narrow line between plain, old, everyday obstinacy and big, old, fine firmness.
 We ourselves are usually very firm. ac- cording to our opinions of ourselves, while others are merely obstinate.
 Everybody knows that an obstinate man IS blind to reason-a firm man constant to purpose.
 The man that's resolute and just,
 Firm to his principles and trust,
 Nor hopes nor fears can blind
 Very few of us will admit we are ob. stinate, even if we know we are, holding out against good reasoning, for "A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still"
 Lots of people think that women are more obstinate than men, although I must say do not think so
 One of the curious traits of an obstinate person is that they usually seem very mild to the casual outsider who would never believe they had the tenacious ob- stinacy of bull dog, but their family could give pointer" or two if necessary, after worrying along with them for years and finally succumbing to their tyranny, just to keep peace in the household
 Of course, the accused would feel terri ply if their attitude were put down as 'obstnacy" instead of frmness which they often mistake it for, in their own minds
 The line, to be sure, is very faint. and for aught I know, a person who starts out with a great deal of praiseworthy frmness may through conditions that af- feet character and disposition. become in time just plain obstinate.
 Perhaps it is a matter of early training or self control
 To give in, when it is right to do so, is often one of the bravest things we cat do, as well as the hardest, though it is no easy matter to remain firm when you stand apparently alone.
