ALLEGED BOMB
P|l!.0I||.TTI.E::RI|S! TRIAL

New York, April 17.-The trial of
"Lieutenant" Robert Fay, Walter
Scholz and Paul Daeche, the trio of
alleged German bomb plotters whose
supposed comprehensive plans for
blowing up allied munitions ships in
New York harbor was nipped in the
lbud by secret service men here Oc-
tober gath, were scheduled to go to
trial before Judge. Rowland in U. S.
Criminal court here today. With
/ the trio was arrested Max .Breitung,
nephew Of E.: N. Breitung, the Mich
igan millionaire and copper king, a
staunch pro-German. Young Brett
Jung is charged with having supplied
the alleged plotters with money. The
elder Breitung furnished bail for his
nephew and put his millions of re-
sources at his disposal for defense.
Young Breitung has been granted a
separate trial. He came to New
York from Chicago and gave himself
Iup voluntarily the day after he
learned his supposed associates had
been arrested and he was being
sought. Fay at that time, was said
| to have made confession stating
| that he had been taken from his field
duties as German army lieutenant
and permitted to come to the United
States, with the knowledge OF his
superior officers, to organize the ship
bomb plots in the United States. Fay
is said to have claimed he had an in
lvention, which he tried on ships in
New York harbor, whereby he at
tached explosives to the screws OF
vessels in such manner that they
would blow up the boats after they
were outside the 3 mile limit on the
American coast. Fay also is said to
have stated that as soon as he had
his bomb plots ready for action here
he was going to extend his opera
lions to Canadian ports. 1t also was
said Fay claimed the two German
embassy attaches who have since
been recalled at the American gov
ernment's request, Captains Won Pap
en- and Boy Ed, knew of his pres
ence in this country and of his bomb
plots. 1t is considered possible that
the trial will be delayed today by the
attempt of Daeche to get separate
trial. The point may be settled in
moment, however, and the trials
proceed at once. .t.fG

ON. TRIAL |. ON THE
hEAN[ST CHARGE

Buffalo, N. Y, April III. Ed
ward Teiper, prominent young bus
mess man OF Orchard Park, was
placed on trial before Justice Brown
at the opening of the criminal term
of the Supreme Court here today,
charged with the murder of his
mother, wealthy widow. The crime
was committed at midnight Janu-
airy 30th, while the mother, Mrs. Ag-
mes M Teiper, her son Frederick and
daughter Grace, were returning to
Buffalo in their automobile after a
visit to the accused mans home in
Orchard Park. Ed Teiper accom-
panied the party a few miles down
the country road to a point where
his own automobile had been stalled
and abandoned late that day. While
working on his own machine under
the glare of the headlights of the
city-bound motor car, Teiper claims,
a negro bandit appeared suddenly
and knocked him senseless with "a
blow on the head. When he recov-
cred consciousness, Teiper swears,
he found his mother and brother
dead, their skulls 8crushed. Teiper's
sister Grace was still alive, although
suffering from five separate fractures
of the skull. Miss Teiper has recov-
cred and has been pronounced surg
ically cured. She is under a $4,000
bond to appear as witness against
her brother, but physicians believe
she will never be able to recall any
Of the Incidents connected with the
tragedy. However, much interest
centers on her appearance in court.
If her memory should suddenly be-
come clear to the occurrences Of the
midnight automobile ride the des-
tiny of her brother probably is in
her possession. The prosecution will

Her. ideas upon these things were
considered absolutely sound. But
when it came to understand ding af-
fairs of the state-that was beyond
her ken. Her daughters, too, did the
things she did. "a Perhaps they had
more "store clothes and perhaps
they got throughtthe three Rs" and
perchance one of them could "spell
down" the whole county. But still
they made 'tallow dips" and soft
soap, and knitted socks without many
glimpses beyond this narrow horizon.
When the grand daughters grew up,
they began to do things in many diff
ferent ways. They refused to "leech
the ashes and save fat for soap
grease! They all had sewing MAJ
chimes and they talked about poll
|tics'-and some of them went to col

lege! The great granddaughters
don't know what soft soap is-unless
it be the metaphorical term, applied
to gush. They would go long way
to see a real spinning wheel work,
and they couldn't make, taIlow can
dies if they had to. But why should
they? .-
All that invention, science, prog
ress and education could do in four
generations has produced a radically
different woman. She no longer
thinks as her great grandmother did.
She would only be a clog to the
wheels Of domesticity if she tried do
ing things in those medieval ways. F.
Womans sphere has changed from
being only in the home, where so
much was done formerly by hand
that machinery does today. So has
she gone into different work and diff
ferent conditions. All this has
brought about a different life for
womankind. She must compete with
men in vocations that were formerly
closed to her, but which economic
changes have necessarily opened to
her. Will she, able to do the same
work as a man, still have no political
status? Will not the political status
of my great grandmother be as much
a misfit for me, as would her indus
trial standards? -.s.-.
Now l don't want to make candles.

.$24,OOO,OO|Q FLOOD !.
PREVENTION DAM

Dayton, April 17.-Construction
work was under way today on the
great engineering project for flood
prevention in the Miami valley to
prevent a repetition of the disas-
trous floods of 1913 which caused
millions of dollars damage and
claimed several hundred lives. Five
mammoth detention basins, large
enough to hold back the crest of a
food forty per cent greater than the
devastating flood of three years ago,
are being erected. The cost Of ma
terials will be about $20,000,000.
There will be five large dams at Cruz
cial points. The highest, at Engle-
wood, will rise 100 feet above the
surrounding country; the lowest
will be IS feet high, and all % feet
across at the top.
Towns between Piqua and Hamil-
ton, a distance of 100 miles, will be

pleted. The plan of the flood pre-
vention system is to let the rivers
carry off water at their maximum
capacity without doing damage. The
retention basins are to take up ex-
cess water and then serve as feed
ers, allowing the run of heavy rain
to be distributed over several weeks
instead of several days. The latter
uncontrolled action is what caused so
much damage in 1913.
It is expected that the work will
be completed in three years. Enough
steel will be used to build IT'S
story skyscraper, enough concrete to
build column ten feet square and
thirteen miles high, excavation
enough for more than 5000 miles of
trenches, and enough embankment
to fill a train of cars reaching from
New York to San Francisco.
