WALTER M. SCHEFTEL

New York Banker a Suicide
at Lake Placid Club.

PLATTsBuRG. y. v. May 21.--Walter
NJ. Scheftel, relative of Jules Bache and
connected with the banking and broker

the Placid Club at Lake Placid yester-
day, his act being the climax OF a ner-
yous breakdown.
Mr. Scheftel came to the camp here

vices. He was 45 years old and could
not be accepted as candidate for
I.ieutenancy. but 1t was understood that
he might have become an assistant pay

He offered the use of his automobile
TO the camp commander and remained
here. few days ago his breakdown
occurred and he was taken to the Cham
plain Valley Hospital. He left that in
stitution and went to the Placid Club
where he was under the care OF two
trained nurses.
The nurse on duty Saturday heard
him leave his bed. She asked him what
he wanted He replied that he was get

German and Austrian Aids at
Legations Have Avenues
for Leaks.
IMMUNE FROM CENSOR
Strongly Intimated L. 5. Will
Try to Drive Out Enemy
Diplomats.

WASHINGTON, May FIT is strongly
intimated to-day that the United States
will suggest to the Swiss and Swedish
legations that II would prefer not to
have Germans and Austrians remain as
part OF the legation STATS. The transfer
of some of Won Bernstorffs most trusted
aids to the status Of members OF the
Swiss legation. where they have diplo-
matte immunity and privileges, and the
transfer OF Austrans to the Swedish
legation cause uneasiness among Off
cials of the state Department and pre-
sent an embarrassing and delicate prob
lem.
The reason given for the transfer of
these officials is that the Swiss and
Swedish legations have taken over Ger
man and Austrian interests respectively
and have therefore retained certain
members of the German and Austrian
embassy STATS to handle this work.
Austria Is understood to have expressed
willingness for Americans to remain in
Vienna to help look after the routine
American business.
As a matter OF policy. however. offi-
cials here regard 1t as questionable to
permit Germans and Austrians to re-
main In diplomatic service in Washing
subjects could undoubtedly be found to
take their places. Besides. even IL this
Government had no uneasiness over the
diplomatic privileges granted to German
and Austrian officials the Entente en-
bassies will continue uneasy as long as
the situation exists.
AS a matter of diplomatic precedent
the retention OF alien enemies in neutral
diplomatic service is decidedly irregular.
Officials here point out two facts which
they believe should be emphasized. 1t Is
not permissible to assume that either
the Swiss or Swedish legations would
permit their secret codes to he used for
the transmission Of military informa-
tlon to Berlin II they were aware OF
It and it is not permissible to assume
in absence of proof that any member
of the Austrian or German Embassies
now employed In these neutral legations
has made any attempt to transmit such
information.
But the all important fact stands out
that shoald any one Of these Germans or
Austrians make serious effort to trans
NIT such information II doubtless could
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1917-05-28

be done without the United States having
any means OF detecting or controlling 1t.
Diplomats here say II IA com pro-
cedure for members of an EN- mbassy or
legation stan to have certain Information
sent by the embassy or legation for them
or TO send letters via the ''diplom attic
pouch" This so.called diplomatic pouch
Il sacred. 1t is not opened or censored.
The understanding Il that the matter
therein Is vouched for by the EN- bassy or
legation concerned. and as a diplomatic
courtesy II passes unchalienged Just as
secret code messages OF the swiss and
Swedish legations pass unehallenged
even II II contains matter known TO be
subjects over which the Berlin Foreign
Offlce and the Swiss legation here are
constantly In touch.
Another fact which stands out in con-
nection with retention of German and
Austrian officials in neutral legations
here is that these officials here are alb
solutely shielded from being interfered
with by the United States authorities.
IT case were to exist where a German
serving with the Swiss legation sought
to engage In any suspicious plot against
the interest Of this Government or sought
to send messages to confederates the
American authorities might be power
less to interfere with him under the law
He would only have to show his card
to the American officials to establish his
identity as a member OF foreign lega-
ZION and be beyond the pale Of the law.

Soaring prices OF food and other com.

women with children to support have
not had an increase in wages since the

STACKER PLOTTERS
FACE PRISON TERMS
Six Year Sentences for Those
Who Conspire to Foil
Registration.

WASHINGTON, May o7.-Severe pun
ishment was promised to-day by Attor-
ney-General Gregory for persons who
conspire to prevent registration on June
!, Of men liable to service under selective
conscription. Mr.. Gregory cited
tence of six years Imprisonment in the
case Of any two or more persons VINO
have conspired to hinder prevent or
DELAY the execution OF any law of the
United States.
The requirement Of registration, the
Attorney General said. is a part of the
conscription law and any effort on the
part Of small groups OF persons or or
organized societies to influence those
within the specified ages to refuse to
register is criminal offence. 1he
evasion of registration also is criminal
offence and Is dealt with under pro-
visions of the conscription bill.
..Nfy attention. has been called to the
circulation OF propaganda designed to
discourage registration, said Mr.
Gregory such action is a plain VIOLA
tion of the law and the Department OF
Justice is prepared 10 prosecute promptly
any person guilty Of such conduct. The
officers ana tBtittS vi ehN '1NP'N' ''''N'N

structed to watch carefully for infrac-
tons OF this law.

One circular which is being circulated

Although the circulars have been sent
out anonymously agents of the Depart

a good idea as to the persons responsible
for them. and II is not unlikely that an

LONDON, May 21.-The positions OF the
neutral European States are fast becom-
ing worse than those Of the belligerents.
A despatch from the Rome correspon-
dent of THE Sun says that Holland
Spain and Switzerland have decided
upon Joint action to secure from Ger
many safe conduct for allied and neu-
tral ships bound to neutral ports with
foodstuffs.
Negotiations along this line are pend
ing. and 1t is reported the Pope has
consented to use his influence with Ger
many in favor OF such conditions. be-
cause the existence Of neutral States is
threatened by the famine resulting from
the submarine war.
Such incidents as the sinking OF six
Swedish ships and the capture by the
Germans of three others are convincing
neutrals that II is useless to hope for
better treatment from Germany. They
are beginning TO believe that Germany is
determined to starve them into giving
Germany all their foodstuffs, or II they
refuse, to make that a pretext for IN
vadng and occupying them and de-
liberately taking all the stocks OF food
and allowing the people to starve unless
they are rationed by the Allies. as Bel
gium has been supplied. Neutrals are
swaying toward the Allies because of
indignation over the German methods.

The lieutenant was nervous from the

The pilot turned his machine eastward

GERMANS LAY DOWN
NEW ANTI.SPY RULES

COPENHAGEN, via London,
May 27.-Spy hunting and
precautions to prevent leaks OF
military secrets are the order OF
the day in Germany. New regu-
lations to check the passage OF
military information across the
frontiers are published daily.
German soldiers whose fami-
lies live abroad can no longer
meet them wherever it is most
convenient. A military order
designates five cities on the
Scandinavian, Dutch and Swiss
frontiers as meeting places for
soldiers on furlough and their
families.
Another order bars alien work
men from factories manufac-
turing airships, submarines, ex-
plosives and weapons for close
range fighting, such as hand gre
nades, mine and grenade throw
ers. &c. Germany apparently
hopes to produce some surprise
inventions, and restricts the en-
ployment of enemy aliens and
"persons submitted to the regu-
lations for enemy aliens" name
ly Americans, in factories having
war contracts of any description.

EMPEROR FOR REFORMS.
A.strian P.riiaYent Meeting Sig
niAes shift From DictatOrship.

COPENHAGEN. via London. Max e.
The Austrian Parliament's meeting this
week signifies a shift from the dictator
ship whereby the country has been ruled
during the war to form of constitu-
tional government. The young En-
peror, in this, as in the electoral reform
crisis in Hungary. seems determined TO
make an attempt at rule with the con-
sent of the governed in place of the au-
tocratic system symbolized in the names
OF Count Tisza and Baron Burian. 1t
In an open question. however, whether
these indications Of his good will and his
personal appeals for harmonious COOP
Grafton will be enough to reconcile the
warning nationalist factions and unite
the Poles. Germans, Bohemians. Serbs
and others In a majority sufficient for
productive work in the Reichsrat.
Just as the crisis In the turbulent
Hungarian political life is proving most
difficult to settle. the convocation OF the
Austrian Parliament embarrasses the
military and judicial authorities, who
have silenced Objectionable politicians
In the past by keeping them in Jail for
months. and even years. during the war
without bringing them to trial.
The radical Czech Member OF the
Reichsrat, Klosatsch has been impris-
oned for almost three years on an accu-
sation OF completely in the Greater Serb
propaganda without any definite charges
being brought. The Socialist caucus in
the Reichsrat has taken up this case
and has demanded that Klosatsch be re-
leased and allowed to attend the COM
ing session. The authorities have prom
ised to submit an indictment by to-
morrow.
The position OF the Austrian Premier
Count Clam MARITIME. is also shaky, ac-
cording to Vienna despatch to the
Hamburg Frcmdenbldu, and 1t is ex-
pected that during the coming session
he will follow Count stephen Tisza, the
former Hungarian Premier. into retire
ment. and that the present Minister of
Education. Baron Won Hussarek, will be
named as his successor.
There has been no clearing as yet of
the Hungarian crisis. Count Tisza, as
might be expected. Is full OF fight and
declines to make easy the path OF his
successor. and may possibly force a
dissolution OF Parliament and new cleo
tions as he has in conversations threat
ened to do.
