FIFTH PRISONER TELLS
OF BOMB PLOT PLANS
Continued from Fage One
Federal statutes regarding attempts to
destroy ships at sea. The two men then
entered a taxlcab with Flynn and Cap
tain Tunney, of the New York bomb
quad, and were driven to New York.
Dalche was taken to Jersey City for a
hearing before Federal authorities.
Selb told the Federal Investigators that
tb conspirators knew the Roosevelt
chemical plant was supplying large quan
tities of material to powder companies
end Its destruction would interfere to
some extent with the filling of war orders.
DECIDED O.V DELAY.
Careful plans were laid to blow up the
plant Thursday night, Selb Bald, but the
guards at tho plant became suspicious
and their vigilance was so keen that the
plotters determined to wait for a more
propitious moment.
The authorities are becoming convinced
that Fay and Scholz, In their apparent
eagerness to "conress everything" were
really trying to hide more important
moves In their plot to cripple the ship
ment of war supplies to the Allies.
A woman Is reported to havo given
the authorities important Information
relative to tha activities of Fay and
Echolz,
A warrant has been Issued for Max
Breltung, secretary and treasurer of the
Oil Well Device Corporation, of 11 Wall
street, who is said to be a cousin of Ed
win N Breltung It was Edwin N
Breltung, the- millionaire banker, who
bought the Hamburg-American liner
Dacla and sent her to Europe, under the
American flag, where the ship and Its
cargo of cotton were confiscated by the
French Government.
ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY.
Max Breltung Is charged with conspir
acy and he Is believed to know something
about a 130,000 fund which was raised by
German-Americans to be used In pre
venting the shipment of war supplies
to the Allies.
Seciet Service Chief Flynn has wired
to Chicago asking that search be made
there for Max Breltung.
The millions of E. N. Breltung, Mar
quette mining man and capitalist, will be
offered In defense of Breltung, his
nephew. Involved In the alleged pro-German
conspiracy to destroy ships carrying
ammunition to the Allies. Breltung, at
Marquette, Mich., announced today that
ho would "back his relative to the limit."
Max Breltung came to America three
years ago and for some time was em
ployed In the Breltung office here. lie
was promoted to the New York office
and recently was made manager there.
The willingness of Fay and Scholz to
confess everything started the authorities
on a vigorous hunt for the "man higher
up." The search Is not confined to New
York, but extends to Boston, Philadel
phia. Baltimore, Chicago, Pittsburgh and
other large cities.
Fay denies that his bombs were In
tended to destroy ships carrying muni
tions of war to the Allies, but to cripple
them so that they would be helpless at
sea.

torcar Company, which will engage in

biles and motorcars of all kinds, was In

SEC FINAL SUCCESS
The bourd of managers of the hospital,
of which Edward ri. Sayres Is 'hcsi l"tit.
say they are assured of the, campaign's
success. Mr. Sayres said toeing i. .u
the certainty of the $500,000 being reached
within the specified time had caused the
board to decide the lmmedlateplannlng
of a formal breaking of ground at the
hospital site, 18th and Balnbrldgo streets,
on .November 23, which will be the 60th
anniversary of the founding of the Insti
tution. In addition to the bronze tablets that
will be placed on room 'doors and In the
receotlon halls of the new buildings to
commemorate donors of subscriptions of
$3000 and $5000, It Is planned by the board
of managers to perpetuate for all time the
catholicity of the subscriptions, by re
producing In bronze, verbatim replicas of
two letters, one containing $3, signed "A
working girl who loves the kiddles," nnd
another containing $50, signed "The In
mates of the Eastern Penitentiary." Both
these letters were received last week.
The Board of Managers nlso announces
that a vellum-paged book, elaborately
bound In wood and tooled leather, will
record within Its pages a list of sub
scribers who have donated from $50 to
$100.
The Children's Hospital of Philadel
phia was founded through the initiative
of Mordecal Bawson Lewis, a widely
known Quaker business man and phil
anthropist, of Philadelphia. It was In
Mr. Lewis' home, at the southwest cor
ner of 12th and Chestnut Btreets, upon
tho site now occupied by the Beneficial
Savings Fund building, that the moneys
for the hospital were originally sub
scribed early In 1855, Mr. Lewis donating
the largest amount of the foundation
fund.
Tho original site was a purchased build
ing at 103 Blight street, a small thor
oughfare between Pine and Lombard
streets, east of Broad street, the hos
pital opening Its door to the poor sick
children of Philadelphia on November ta,
1856. Within two year? the adjoining
building, No. 410, was added. For 12
years the hospital remained at this site,
when It removed to Its present quarters
on 22d street, near Walnut. It has long
since outgrown these quarters, and In the
early winter of this year will be com
pelled to remove lo the only completed
building upon new site at 18th and
Balnbrldge streets.
Tested
herds
versus
the other
kind
HERE are two glasses
of milk. They look
alike. One comes
from a dairy herd proved
by an absolute scientific
test to be free from the
most prevalent disease in
cows. The other comes
from a herd that perhaps
looks "healthy" enough,
but which is not so tested
and proved.
Which of the two do
you prefer to drink
which of the two do you
prefer to have your fam
ily drink which do you
prefer to have on your
table?
Fairmount Farms Milk
comes from tuberculin
tested herds. We know
of no other milk selling
in Philadelphia at the
price, of which this may
be said.
Better have Fairmourit

Democrats to vote for Smith was referred
to at the same meeting. D. Clarence.

"so he went over to the Republican ma
chine." At the Bromley meeting several hun
dred tlrls crowded about the automobile
In which the speakers traveled to obtain
Porter buttons
