BREITUNG HELD
AS CONSPIRATOR
Continued from Taite One
Selb and Dr. Herbert Klenzle. There are
Indications that the Secret Service men
believe the police sprnng their trap too
soon. '
"William Flynn, chief of the Secret j
Service, who Is personally directlns the ,
Investigation, readily admits that he
believes the men who backed Fny in his '
activities are so powerful financially that
they were able to promise Kn uui i s .
associates a huge sum If their Built
were hidden. i
This belief Is strengthened by the de- I
velopments. Both Fay and Scholz I st j
no time in coniessins nnu consunieu iu
come to this State from New Jersey with
out extradition papers. In their con
fession they shouldered all tho blame and
absolved alt the others whose names had
been connected with the conspiracy
That Fay had unlimited backing was
shown by his promise to pay JJOO.CO) to
tho captain of a Russian steamship laden
with copper if the seaman would "lose his
way" and allow his vessel to fall Into
the handa of the Germans
The tap of Information which has been
left .orr by Government officials so far as
prisoners were concerned was suddenly
shut Oft today Robert Fay, Walter
Seholss. Dr. Herbert Klenzle nnd Paul
Daeche, all of whom have been allowed
to talk freely of their cases, were inac
cessible In their cells at the Tombs to
day All arc now represented by attor
neys who co-operated with authorities in
causing them to cease talking. The four
are now held In $23,000 ball each.
Despite assurances of officials that the
cases were now "cleaned up" It wao
known today they are interested in the
reports of m enormous fountain of cash
through which the agents were enabled
to purchase expensle explosives nnd
epend money freely for autos, motorboats
and other things.
Slebs, who had nccess to supplies of
chemicals of the sort used In making ex

SHIPPING MAY BE TIED UP HERE
WHEN XEW LAW IS IX FORCE
Few Vessels Will Leave Unless the
Government Acts, Agents Say
Demoralization and a tie-up of shipping
at this port is threatened when the La
Follette seamen's bill aoes In o effort
next week, according to shipping men.
Unless there li a rapid adjustment of
conditions. It Is predicted that few ves
sels will be able to leave port. Tho fault,
some shippers sny. lies with the slow
ness of the Government authorities at
Washington, while others are Inclined to
blame the seamen. i
Section 11 of the se.imnn bill makes
It mandatory upon a vessel to have 40 i
per cent of the deck crew "certified able-
bodied seamen." A. U s have never be- i
iii irtart n'Vssn:
tal and physical eliminations, and pre- j
sent affidavits swearing that they have !
had nt least ono year's experience either
at sea or on the Great Lakes.
Up until today, with the enforcement
of the law seven dnvs distant, no one
senmnn has presented himself for exam-
Inatlon before the United States steam-
boat Inspectors. A continuance of this i
apathy, the shippers say, means that j
there will not be one certified seaman
wlinn the lniv liernmea effective nn 'o '
vember 4, and should the authorities in- i
slst on havinu the law obeyed none ol
the vessels In port enn leave until they j
have 40 per cent, of the deck crew A. B.s. j
Vessel owners, ngents and brokers aie
Incensed at the lack of attention sjlven
the law by the seamen. They have uied I
persuasion In all Its multifarious ways to
net them to take tho examination with
out result.
"We should worry," Is the general ex
pression of tho seamen when the subject
is broached to them. "The boats need
us: wo can Bet along somehow until they
can fix things up," said one today. Sev
eral of the seamen said thnt they had
gone to the offlco of the local United
States Steamboat Inspectors In the post
oftlce and did not like the spirit dis
played there. A blank was given them to
till out nnd most of them being illiterate
all was Greek to them, they asjert. Xo
assistance was volunteered, it Is contend
ed, and the straw that broke the camel's
back came when they were told they
would havo to take the nflldavlt to a
notary to be sworn, for which ho would
charge 50 cents,
Fifty cents to an A. U. two days after
pay day Is, as a rule, a bis sum, and
when the news spread along the water
front that It would cost them 50 cents to
bo certified all interest !n the examina
tions fled. The supply of able-bodied
seamen when business Is good, as It is
now. Is scarce, and when business Is dull
thcro nre hundreds to be found, so the
number of A H.'s In port at one time
varies from 80 to several hundred.
Another obstacle In the way of the cer
tificates, It Is said, Is the stiffness of
the examination, which consists of bod
ing the compnss, knowledge of lights and
for signals, signals for starting, stopping,
slowing down and booking on steam ves
self, passing Hignnls for stenm vessel,
knotting, bending, splicing and hitching;
abl'lty to pul' an oar, clearing away,
lowering and getting a boat away fiom
a ahlp: handling boats at sea. knowl
edge of nautical terms nnd steering. The
examination is to be oral and I to be
conducted by u qualified Government of
ficial. Shipping men believe that the proper
Government official should vlalt shin
and put the men through the various
tess l'p until today no notification ha
been received a to when a Government
official may be expected This Is said
to be due to the fast that no application
have been nled. Officials of regular line
vessels deplore the Inactivity of the Fed
eral authorities, deelarln that th
should have started to prepare for the
enforcement of the law six month ao,
when the vesel owner began to prepare
In addition to the examination for their
marital fltn A B ' the kallors are
compelled to take a physical examination
which ipolude an examination of the
aves before the examination for seaman
ship. If the law Is to be adhered to,
shipping; men awert, It la time for some,
one to net busy They say they havo
done their part and It Is now up to the
seamen and the. Government officials to
do somethin" It I" said that the law
ha been bungled and condition would
have been entirely different had the cer
tification of the seamen been left to the

MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
PITTSBURGH. Oct. 27. Tho 10th an
nual meeting of tho Pennsylvania Con
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers'
Associations began In tho Fort Pitt Ho
tel here, this morning, presided over by
Mrs. George K, Johnson, of Philadel
phia, piesldent of tho Stato Congress.
Mavor Armstrong wns on the program
to welcome the delegates, and he sent
II. M. Irons, Assistant City Solicitor, In
his place. The latter spoke of the con
nection botween parent and teacher and
pictured the average Amorlcan home that
was benefited by tho Influences brought
there from the schoolroom, nnd then
dwelt on many homes of tho lowly where
school Influences were neglected and
there were no moral examples to follow.
Ho said the delegates were engaged In
a groat work nnd would find Pittsburgh
ready to receive thorn and that which
they stood for In a reclprocatlvo manner.
Mrs. Johnson replied to Mr. Irons, as
suring him and the city that they would
endeavor to solve many problems that
would bo helpful to the teachers and par
ents of western Pennsylvania. Sho then
Introduced ns the only pcnki of tho
morning Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States
Commissioner of Education at Washing
ton, D. C , who spoke on "Tho Work of
tho Home Education Division."
SCHOOL AND HOME.
Mr Claxton said the school was the
most Important supplementary agenoy of
tho home, nnd that after the mother hnd
had charge of the lntcrosta of tho child
until It was 6 years old tho Influence of
the teachers began. Said he;
"A child Is In school, ordinarily speak
ing, two hours In a normal llfetlmo From
lilt th to the age ot 21 years Is'lSI.OOO hours,
so that 1W.W) hour are not used In the
schoolroom It Is outside the schoolroom
that the responsibility of the parent is In
ovldencc while the teacher I handicapped
In the shorter period Four million chil
dren In the United Stato between the
age of four and six and only 405.000 of
them in kindergarten schools. Think of
the building up of morality in the mind
and heart of the children of this country
In that period of life, and then stop to
consider the opportunities the teacher has
to mold the live of the children.
MUTUAL U.NDICRSTANDING.
"The two most important periods of a
child's life are from birth to six and from
13 to 21. From six to it Is not no im
portant, as the rhlld I being drlllvd
mainly In education In those years, but
In the other two periods home Influence
is at work In the first, and the character
of the teacher la being Impressed on the
pupil In the second We must keep ,at
our children to continue studying, nq mas
ter at what age they leave eoliool, and
every effort must be made to get n
thorough understanding between the chil
dren and patent aa to the future welfare
of the ohild "
This afternoon, after a short 'reception
to the delegate and officer of the eon
BtPM, Doctor CUxton again addressed
the eungrn on higher moral Ideul,

custody by Postal Inspectors McVlckar
and Hawksworth today at the station,
but confessed later, it 1b said, at the Fed
eral Building to Chief Inspector James
R. Cortelynu after a two-hour examina
tion. He ulso told, the Inspectors say,
where tho two marked $3 bills could bo
found.
Tho prisoner Is 41 years old, married
and has ono child. He has been In the
postal service for 13 yeats, having served
12 years at the Fair hill station, Lehigh
and Germantown avenues. While in that
office somo months ago, Fox fell under
suspicion of the postal inspectors.
Numerous complaints had been made
by persons In that postal district about
losses from registered and special delivery
letters. Tho Inspectors found It impossi
ble to catch Fox there, so he was trans
feried to Station O. Today ho opened a
letter, It Is charged, addressed to Mrs.
George C. XJrede, of 1712 North 12th sheet.
In tho envelope wore two marked to bills.
The Inspectors who made the arrest
almost believed they had made a mistake
on the way to the Federal Uulldlng. Fox,
protesting his Innoccnco, nearly collapsed.
After his confession, he said, according
to Inspectoral
"I did It, I'm sorry."
According to the Inspectors, tho com
plaints of losses switched from Falrhlll
Station to Station O as soon as Fox was
transferred.
