IRISH PLOTT.ERS
CONSPIRED WITH
GERMAN AGENTS

Washington, May 22.---Although It
has been revealed that government
agents have gathered evidence in the
United Stats of conspiracies between
Sim Fein leaders and German agi-
tators to incite rebellion in Ireland,
officials still declined today to indi-
cate whether a state department an
nouncement on the Irish develop
mentS might be expected.
For many months, it was disclosed,
American agents have been inside the
councils of Irish in this country who
have plotted with German agents for
armed insurrection against British
rule. These disclosures were followed
last night by the announcement that
agents also have uncovered similar
German intrigues with other nation
alisttc groups in the United States.
German money, it was said, has been
used to finance agitations among
Firms and Iithuanians.
Full details of the evidence was not
made public, it was explained, be-
cause several persons still are under
surveillance.

WOMAN DETECTIVE
IDENTIFIES men
WHO ROBBED Her
Continued from Page y


Teichman were on their way to
Bridgeport. This morning when the
two were lined up with a number of
others in the office of the Detective
Bureau, Mrs. Teichman found no diff
fculty in identifying the two men
who, with Sam Brickner, now serving
term of five years in Sing Sing.
held up her little store, and brutally
beat and robbed her of $40.
The prisoners will be turned over
to the New York authorities and &C
cording to statements made by the
officers sent here the evidence against
them will net them a long term ''up
the river"
In telling her experience Mrs. Teich-
man said: Fearing that the police
of New York would not interest
themselves sufficiently in my case, Z
decided to disguise myself and search
the streets of Brooklyn, and Manhat-
tan until saw the men who so
terribly beat and then robbed me of
my savings.
THE disguise I adopted was that of
a blind beggar and after nine months
of watching and waiting was at last
rewarded by seeing one of the gang,
Sam Brickner. I approached him
and offered some shoe laces for sale.
He at first pushed me rudely away,
but persisted and finally he bought
a pair Of laces for ten cents. I offer
ed him a nickel change, but he told
me to keep it. That nickel by the
way, is the only part of the $470 I
have recovered.
II then called for help to arrest
him, but he struck and knocked me
down and then kicked in several of
my ribs, from which I am almost de-
formed today. He escaped for the
time, but was shortly afterwards cap
tured and brought to the hospital for
me to identify.
HE was brought to trial, and re-
fused to give any information as to
where his friends were. He was
found guilty and sentenced to five
years in Sing Sing. The day L was
instrumental in capturing him was
Jan. IT, 1918, or nine months after
he robbed my store.''

Government Will
Furnish Tobacco

Washington, May developments of
tobacco to the American troops
abroad already have gone forward,
War Department officials said today.
Extensive purchases have been made
to insure a steady supply.
One effect of making tobacco a part
of the regular ration is to insure its
delivery promptly to the men, no
matter where they may be. In taking
this action the War Department obi
gates itself to get smoking materials
to the troops as much as it already
was obligated to feed them in every
emergency.
