Keet Boy Kidnappers
Linked in Teuton Plot
Alleged Leader Tells How
German Agents Approached
Him; Seven Arrested

Springfield, No. June 6.-The link
between the kidnapping of the fourteen
months old son OF J. II. Keet, wealthy
banker Of Springfield, and the alleged
plan TO kidnap c. A. Clement, Spring
field jeweller, was thought to have
been established by the police tonight
with the arrest of George Walker
driver Of a taxicab. Walkers arrest
was the seventh of the mystery since
last night Officials showed much reti-
cence in discussing his capture.
In none of the alleged confessions
made by persons under arrest in con-
nection with the plots has a connection
with the Keet kidnapping been found
but developments that Will shed some
light on the case are expected soon.
The five men and one woman held
before Walkers arrest all are charged
with attempting to kidnap Clements.
The alleged confessions also connect
them with plot to kidnap baby here
and st. Louis munitions maker.
Claude Pierscl, alleged leader of tho
gang that planned the Clement kid
mapping, made a signed confession tc
detectives to-day in which he told OF
being approached last winter By Ger
man agents.
Whereabouts of the Keet baby ap-
parently is as great a mystery as al
any time since Re was missed one week

German Trapped
Cutting Wires to
Delay War Orders
New Jersey Police Chief
Captures Man on Pole
Two Others Escape

Camden, n. j., June GA German Is
locked up here on a charge of treason,
and Secret Service men are searching
the vicinity of Ellsburg for two other
men as the result Of the discovery of
a plot to delay Federal war messages.
Two telegraph wires, leased by the
United States government for the
transmission Of messages between
Washington and New York, and third
wire used by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for the handling of troop and
munition trains, were mysteriously cut
on May and again on May 80. Since
then a large force of Secret Service
men and railroad detectives have been
keeping close watch for providers.
At 8 o'clock this morning the three
wires again failed TO give service.
Tests showed that the break was near
Ellisburg. Chief of Police William II.
Linderman, of Merchantville. formerly
a member of the Secret Service, was
notified and drove to Ellisburg He
discovered the break and, walking
along the railroad tracks, found that
the three wires had been cut in four
more places. The Federal wires, and
that used for government purposes by
the railroad, were the only ones cut of
twenty-nine wires which had been dis
turbed.
After walking some distance, Linder-
man came upon a man on the top of a
pole cutting the same three wires
sixth time. At the point of revolver
he ordered the man to descend, anc
while he was coming down, two other
men leaped up from the brush ano
made off across the meadows. Linder.
man fired twice Both men staggered
and fell in the grass.
Linderman, who was alone, was un-
able to follow up his advantage, for
fear that the man on the pole would
escape. The prisoner, who speaks with
a strong German accent, said his name
was Fritz Urban and that he lived al
1912 Mount Vernon Street, Philadel-
phia
When Linderman returned with Sc
cret Service men TO search the meadows
he could find no trace of the men, al
though he was sure that he had
wounded both. A hunt for them is still
IN progress.

Americas Gold
Imports Have
Come to an End
Tide Flows Outward Now
u. S. Had Accumulated
$3,121,O 900, 1000

Washington, June 6.-America's great
gain of gold, which has grown with al
most every month for two and one-half
years, has ceased. Gold importations
have stopped altogether, and the flow
has begun the other way, with indica-
tions that it will continue in compara-
lively small volume for some time.
The turning Of the tide comes at q
time when the country apparently faces
the greatest industrial period of its
history, greater, officials believe, than
the last twelve months, which witnessed
the establishment of a S6.000,000, 900
record for American exports. Plans
under consideration now call for an out
pouring Of approximately $4,000, 900, 900
year of exports to Entente nations
alone, and if American fields and fac
tories are equal to the task Of meeting
demands the total exports will be
swollen hundreds of millions beyond
these figures.
Cessation Of gold imports 10 settle
trade balances when trade balances are
heavier than ever before against for
eign buyers is virtually novelty in
American finance. On the whole, it is
regarded as a healthy development, as
further accretions might tend toward
imitation. III foreign purchases will be
paid for. Of course. but in different
form, the payment being made by
money furnished the buyers by the
United States and obtained by the flo
taton of bond issues.
With the establishment of these
credits, it is explained, the Entente
governments, who have bought the bulk
of American exports, have found il
unnecessary TO continue sending gold
to settle trade balances. They will
send their bonds instead 70 secure the
credits advanced them.
Neutral nations will continue TO set
tie their balances largely with gold.
Neutrals having trade balances against
the United States, officials believe. will
call for settlement by the export of
gold from this country.
Evidences of this intention are man
ifest in recent gold shipments to Japan,
Spain and Mexico. Japan's trade bal
ance last year against the United
States was S73,000,000 For the first
nine months of the present fiscal year
it is 55,000,000. The United States
will ship approximately 25,000000 in
gold TO Japan this month. and prob
ably S10,000,0O0 TO 5000 900 to Spain.
The shipments to Mexico will be much
less.
The Federal Reserve Board is work
ing to conserve in this country most Of
the gold shipped here since the war
started Pending amendments to the
reserve act are designed to strengthen
the boards powers TO retard gold eX-
ports. Before the tide turned the
United States had accumulated S3,12l,-
100000 in gold. about one-third of the
more than the domestic reserve in 1914.
This amount was in the country May I.
Treasury figures just compiled show
that during May the country exported
33,O0O,0O0 more gold than it imported

Speakers Uith War Training
Needed to Win Recruits

The Mayors Committee on National
Defence yesterday issued an appeal 70
all men who have seen military ser
vice and can address a meeting 20 join
the Recruiting Battalion of Service
Men. This appeal was necessitated by
the attitude of would-be recruits tow
ard non-miltary speakers. the forme.

TO enlist by men who know nothing
about war
Alexander .. Hemphill, chairman Of
the recruiting committee of the May
or's Committee on National Defence.
said yesterday that one of the hardest
tasks the committee confronts is to
overcome the opinion that men who
registered Tuesday are no longer de-
sired as recruits. Young men. said
Mr.. Hemphill. still have opportunity,
though registered, of choosing what
arm OF the service they prefer. To
reach these young men speakers with
war experience are needed.

Coalition Plan
To Aid Canadian
Draft Is Failure
Sir Wilfrid Laurier De-
clines to Join with Bor-
den Government

Ottawa. Ont, June 6.-Premier Bor-
den and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, leader Of
the Opposition. appear to have failed TO
reach an agreement for the formation
of a coalition ministry representative
of the two parties in Parliament A
coalition was proposed by the Premier
for the purpose of bringing support 70
tho bill for compulsory military service
Great hostility 20 the compulsory
service measure has developed in Que
bee and in Canadian organized labor
circles. Considerable dissatisfaction
also has been expressed in the agri-
cultural districts. These conditions
are believed 10 have led Sir Wilfrid
finally TO demur 10 the proposal that
he bring his followers TO unite with
the Conservative party, which they
now oppose. The railway. banking,
manufacturing and other large inter
ests of the country have strongly sup
ported coalition.
To-day the opposition leader called
upon the Premier and is understood 10
have expressed his regret that he
could not join with him in the coalition
offered. Tonight the Prime Minister
has called twice upon Sir Wilfrid IN
the hope of inducing a modification Of
views. but he is understood 10 have
failed. and that there will be formal
statements in Parliament tomorrow by
the two leaders.
There is an intimation that the next
move contemplated is for the Prime
Minister TO go over Sir Wilfrld's head
to some of his Liberal followers with
an invitation TO enter the Borden ad
minstration, which would then be
termed union government. An effort
will be made to get the compulsory ser
vice bill through Parliament with the
Conservative and Liberal votes, which
the Premier believes he can command.
