PLEA OF GUILTY
ENTEREOBYF0UR
DEMONSTRATORS

New York, Jan. 17.-Edward Weber,
Paul Schmidt, Max Jaeger and Richard
Wohlberg, accused in federal indict-
ment of conspiracy to ship cOntraband
rubber to the German government in
violation of the custom laws, pleaded
guilty today and were fined. A plea of
guilty was also entered in behalf of
the Rubber & Guayule agency of this
city, which was also indicted. Mrs
Annie Dekkers, another defendant,
was too i'll to be in court and will
plead later.
Judge Clayton imposed on Jaeger a
fine of $1,000; upon Weber and Schmidt
fines of $3.50 each; upon Wohlberg,
500, and on the Guayule agency, $50
Jaeger was the leading spirit in the
conspiracy. He was commissioned,
it was alleged, by Albert Weber, a Ber-
lin banker, who is in charge of the Ger
man governments rubber control, to
come to this country and obtain rub
Der for Germany. Mrs. Dekkers is a
native of Holland with whom Jaeger
became acquainted on his trip across
the Atlantic. The plan was for her to
make trips to Holland, carrying rub
Der as personal baggage

MINERS GATHER
FOR CONVENTION

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 17.-While
delegates to the biennial convention of
the United Mineworkers of America
which opens Tuesday were gathering
here today, officers of the union were
endeavoring to reach an agreement
with coal operators from the central
competitive bituminous district for a
wage conference after the convention
adjourned.
The central competitive districts are
made up Of the Illinois, Ohio and west
ern Pennsylvania soft coal fields. The
mine owners in these districts former
ly had fourzstate agreement with the
union miners but it was broken up sew
eral years ago and each state has
since concluded its own contract with
the union employees.
The conference is the continuation
of one recently held in Chicago. West
ern Pennsylvania operators were not
represented In the conference and
when today's meeting began there was
no indication that they would partici-
pate. It is said the principal objec-
ton of the western Pennsylvanians to
entering an interstate conference is
that in their territory they pay the
workers on the screen basis, whereas
in at least two of the other districts the
run of mine basis prevails.
Leaders from various districts ap-
pear optimistic in regard to the mining
situation. Agreements expire in many
states this spring but they express
themselves as confident of negotiating
new contracts.
Many of the delegates appear to re-
fleet the views of John P. White, inter
national president of the union, who
favors the policy of the men remaining
at work after their contracts expire on
March 81, so long as there is a posi-
bility of an agreement being reached

Montenegro QUITS EUROPEAN WAR
BROTHERS PLAN
T0SLAY PARENTS
FOR THEIR MONEY

Chicago, Jan. 17-Civing and Her
bert Updike, brothers. arrested last
night after police had obtained evil
dence of an alleged pl,. to murder
their father, Furman D. Updike, a re-
tired broker, their me her and sister,
were still in custody today. Giving,
who is 80 years old, is member Of
the Chicago board of trade. Chief OF
Police Lee of Oak Park, suburb, in
which the Updike family resides, said
that Herbert, % years old, was being
held merely as corroborative wit
ness, but he refused to tell what
charge, if any, had been lodged against
Giving, the elder son.
According to the police, steno-
graphic copy of the conversation be-
tween the two young men in the Up
dixie garage, gave details of an al
legged plot to kill Mr.. and Mrs. Up
dixie, because, the police say the son
feared his father would alter his will,
and leave the greater portion Of his
estate to other members of the family.
Giving told me first he was going
to kill father and mother more than
year ago." the youngest son told the
police. I'VE used to go down in the
basement nights and talk about it. He
was going to poison them and he
bought the poison, but he had to go
west and he gave up the idea. He
came back in November and immed-
lately started to talk about it again.
He had it all planned for the night Of
Jan. and 1 guess it would have hap
pened then if mother had not thought
it was cold and closed the windows.
The ladder was placed under the win
dow and Giving had started to climb
| it."
When arrested, according to the po-
| lice, Giving first tried to implicate his
brother, and then made a complete
confession. The officers were hidden
in the garage where they took a
stenographic report of the converse
ton between the brothers, and later,
they say they found shot gun and
two automatic pistols. equipped with
silencers. ----.---.
Civings' automobile, with the en-
CINE running, stood in front of the
house. According to Herbert, after
the proposed murder. it was planned
to motor to the Desplaines river and
throw the weapons into the later and
then return to, bed and await there
the discovery of the crime this morn
ing.
, An attempt is to be made to show
that Giving Updike is not sane, accord
ing to Police Chief Lee of Oak Park
DR.. W. E. Barton, pastor of an Oak
Park church, attended by the elder
Updike, visited Chief Lee today and
said he hoped it would be shown that
insanity instead of criminal intent was
responsible for the affair.
