pictured above.
It is a member Of musical |
family that is universally
known and universally ac-
corded rank and respect-the
family of Victor Talking
Machines.
It's price is but $3.50, and for
payment of even this moderate
sum, convenient terms can be

All in all, we know Of no in

tion which gives the owner
more for his money than this
particular model.

One admission made by Linden
field is that in August he went to Mos
COW, spending six weeks there.
Plots and counter plots, reading
like a chapter of fiction, were in
volved in the search for clews in
many parts of Europe by American
Secret Service agents, which resulted
in the arrest of Lindenfeld.
According to Cosgrove and Paul
Altendorf. who trailed Lindenfeld.
the suspect has named five principals
In the plot, now in Europe, who re-
ceived $4,000 from the Moscow
Third Internationale through New
York Communists.
I.indenfeld has declared his willing
ness to return to New York as soon as
possible and turn States evidence.
The Polish authorities say he was ex-
posed in 1906 as q Russian secret
agent and fed to America at that time,
returning to Europe last spring.
Altendorf came to Europe in Feb
ruary last, while Lindenfeld came over
in March. During the summer Alten-
dorf, living in various Communistic
centers. obtained clew which led him
to seek Lindenfeld's acquaintance. AS
result Cosgrove arrived in Warsaw
two months ago, posing as having
connections with Communist groups ir,
America, and was introduced to Lin
denfeld by Altendorf. After establish
ing his acquaintance, Cosgrove sug-
gested to Lindenfeld scheme where
by by giving information in regard to
the Wall street explosion, he could re-
ceive a large share of the rewards Of
fered for the arrest of the plotters,
without risk to himself.
Throughout these operations by the
American Secret Service man Polish
operatives Shadowed Lindenfeld. and
the Poles assert that while Lindenfeld
was pretending to play into Cosgroves 8
hands he was at the same time double
crossing" the Americans.
Clews developed while trailing Lin
denfeld led the Polish agents to arrest
a number of Communists who are al
legged to be spies working against the
interests of Poland. Several women
are involved in this alleged espionage
plot.

Statement by Burns.

Mr.. Burns was mobbed by reporters
at the Pennsylvania Station at $40
o'clock last evening when he got here
from Washington. This is what he
said:
There is no question in the world
that We have the proper solution OF
this mystery. AS a matter OF fact We
knew It all along. Altendorf is
Burns detective agency man, Cossrove
an agent of the Department of Jus
tice. Cossrove was with my detective
agency before returned to the Gov
ernment service. The story that the
confession of Lindenfeld. which is his
right name, is about 10000 words In
length is true II is also true that IL
names the people who set and cx-
ploded the bomb.
II can say now that the real purpose
or the Burns Detective Agency in offer
ing, soon after the explosion, a reward
OF $4,000 for those guilty of it was TO
get real confession from Lndenfeld
He knew and warned us there was going
to be an explosion and who were impli-
Gated. He could not tell US where the
explosion was 10 be.
HE IS not an anarchist lie is ono OF
those fellows who believe in revolution
through pacific methods. lie is not a
direct actlonist. There is no doubt that
he represented the Soviet Government
here and that he had direct connection
with the Communists and the Third In
ternatlonsle.
THE fact of his arrest and confess
sion In Warsaw was made public pre-
maturely. II has blown us up into the
air. II is n great surprise 10 me that
II came out. and how Il happened don't
know. II could not have come from
either ot our men. Cosgrove or Altcn-
dorf. Possibly It came from the police

Learns of Threat.

Mr.. Miller has been assigned to the
Newark headquarters since November
IS, to act in the capacity OF an asso-
ciate director as his chief, Mr.. Yellow
ley. has done in New York. His instruc-
tions were TO clean UP New Jersey so
far as possible. and he has been very
active.
A few days ago a prominent banker
in Newark went to Miller and told him
he knew OF threats against the agents
life. Numerous communications advis-
ing him to be less strenuous in enforce
ment have been received by him at
headquarters. Decoy telephone calls
we're received. by which an attempt was
made 10 have Miller investigate certain
places alone. Gunmen were observed
hanging about the prohibition headquar-
ters in Market street. Such threats
come to every Government agent. and
Miller ignored them as he had done be-
fore.
Friday night, with two other agents,
he visited grocery store at Watching
avenue and Holden street West Orange
owned by Mrs. S. l.. Dowd. He found
her son. Charles A. Dowd, q former
West Orange Councilman, there. and an
nounced he wished TO search the place.
Dowd offered no resistance to the search
and the agents found a case of gin
Dowd claimed Il was not his. He said
a man had brought II into the store just
few minutes before the agents ar
rived. and offered to sell Il TO him. but
that he refused to buy t. Tho salesman
had left, he said.
