even kiss her. Instead he folded his
arms and began with little catch in
his voice: Claudia, I've come to give

But he didn't, being interrupted by a
call from the library. Peter Ten Eyck
wished to see both Benham and his
daughter at once.
They found him beside his table. his
equity foot on cushion.
"Good day. sir" he said briskly. shak.
ing Benham's hand cordially.
Claudia. regarding her fathers pleas
antry apprehensively, sat down on a
sofa facing him. Peter motioned Ten
nyson to place beside her.
"I've called you in here" Ten Eyck
then began, ito ask favor Of you.
But, as preface, I'll relate bit Of
your personal history which has come
to my ears"
Personal business history, Mr.. Ben
ham," he amended dryly.
But at the next sentence Tennyson's
back Strengthened with a sudden jerk.
"Mr. Benham, you are the young man
who combined wit enough and law
enough to buy up strip OF land in
Mount Hope valley lying across the
prospective route Of the Consolidated
Suburban Rapid Transit company"
Tennyson gasped.
'Then you proceeded. warily, as you
thought. to get Hungarian to bury
his brother on your land. At the same
time you applied for a charter incor-
porating the Mount Hope Cemetery
company"
How did you find out, and why did
you find out?" interposed Tennyson.
Then Ten Eyck almost smiled las
to the how you'll never know. As to
the why 1t was very much to my in

Tennyson's mouth opened, but no
sound came.
'If hadn't found out just as did,

suppose you'd have bled the Transit
company a round number of thousands
for the privilege Of going through your

Tennyson moistened his lips. THAT

Carl Hcynen was arrested a few
weeks ago on the charge Of spy ac-
tivities in the United States it was
not known that his work extended to
Mexico, but since then evidence has
been produced to indicate that he was
very intimately conected with the
German spy system there and that
the men who formerly reported to
him are continuing their efforts.
One man whom agents of the Unit
ed States are watching is Richard
Eversbusch. German consul at Tam
pico. Eversbusch was the partner in
business of Heynen for many years.
Full List in Mexico.
While almost every other govern
ment has decreased the numbe rof it's
consular representatives in Mexico,
Germany has kept there full list
and Minister Won Eckhardt has been
at the capital since the overthrow Of
Huerta.
1t will be pointed out to the Mexi-
can Government that in the event Of
reasonable proof Of undue activities
by any German consul or diplomat
precedent for expulsion from the
country may be found in the cases of
Dumba, Won Papen and Boy-ed.
Mexican Oil Supply.
The American Government is not
concerned so greatly at the sugges-
tion that Mexico is used as a relay
point for military information as it is
over the constant and apparently un-
interrupted German propaganda
emanating from Mexico and over the
possibility of curtailment of Mexican
oil supply. The oil strikes in the
Tampico fields have caused some anX-
icty and it has been freely charged
that they were caused by German
agents working in some cases through
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Recently increased taxes on crude
petroleum and its derivates already
have resulted in a voluminous corre-
spondence between the State depart
ments Of the two governments, but
danger of any curtailment of the sup
ply by reason of that has passed,
most of the operators paying the tax
either with or without protest.

NEW STORY OF
U-BOAT WARFARE

London, July 29.-Here is the lat
est story Of German sea frightfulness
against Americans: 0SE
A German submarine held up the
American bark Carmela, from an
American port for France. on 20 date
not given, off the British coast. The
crew of twenty, of whom six were
American citizens, took to the boats
The submarine, however, forced the
boats to pull alongside and lined the
crew, headed by Capt. John A. John
son, up on deck, forcing them to watch
a German crew go aboard and rifle
the Carmela. t..
Then when an English destroyer
suddenly appeared on the horizon the
submarine, regardless of the twenty
one men on deck, suddenly submerged,
throwing them into the water.
The German crew had taken every
thing of value from the bark and set
time bombs aboard. The bombs ex-
ploded, sinking the ship, but the Brit
ish vessel rescued the men struggling
in the water and brought them to
a British port today.

Many children have weak kidneys.

Often followed by backache, head

TO blame the child for it's own dis

SPIES IN MEXICO
Ambassador Fletcher Prepared to Call
Attention to Carranza to the
Matter.
FEARS FOR OIL SUPPLIES
Strikes in Tampico Fields Said to
Have Been Result of German
Intrigue.

Washington, July 30.-So numerous
have become the reports of German
spy activities and propaganda in Mex
leo that Ambassador Fletcher is pre-
pared upon his arrival at Mexico City
to call the attention of the Mexican
Government to the links in that coun-
try between Berlin and German
agents in the United States.
Officials of the State Department
do not call into question the integrity
of the Mexican Government but the
reports have left no room to doubt
the existence Of German organiza-
ton in Mexico whose Vaccinations
may be defined as violation of Mex
ico's neutrality.
The Carranza Government is be-
lieved in fact to be disturbed by the
abuse of its hospitality and there is
a feeling here that the time is not
far distant when certain representa-
tives in Mexico of the German for
eign Office may be officially question
ed as to their activities.

UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development of Mineral Deposits, Re-
tarded by Actocracy, Now Likely
to Be Rapid.

As in everything else, the old re.
gime of Russia had its strangle hold
on the gold industry. Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits of
precious minerals abound and under
free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce. The
Russian press is full of news items
chronicling new discoveries Of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals.
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, well
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and plati-
mum deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Markha.
With the laying of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost a con-
tinuous procession of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals, espe-
cially on the Rivers Burea and Khara !;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the op-
portunities for a successful develop
ment of the newly discovered deposits.
