GIVES SECRETS OF GREAT PLOT

NEW YORK. Oct 26. A fifth member of Ue,GermB organisation which plotted the blowing up of ammunition factories and snips carrying war uppUea to the Allies is Paul Seib. who made important rerelatlona :-" to - the Weehawken, N. J., police and government, secret service agents today. Seib ; Is held - as a material witness against Robert Fay and Walter Scholz, ring leaders in the plot; According ' to the authorities Seib confessed that agents : of the nationwide plot planned to destroy the giant plant of the American Agricultural company at Roosevelt, N. J., last Thursday night, i Seib Is alleged to have confessed he acted as purchasing agent for Fay, in whose possession a vast amount of bomb making material and explosives were found. The authorities are becoming convtaced that Fay and Scholz, in their apparent eagerness ' to "confess everything,", were really trying to bide more Important - moves in their plot to cripple the shipment of war supplies to the allies. A woman Is reported to have given the authorities important, information relative ' to the activities of Fay and Scholz. The police are now searching . for Max Breitung, who is said to be a relative to the millionaire banker, Edward N. Breitung.

Her Husband's Widow

why, she had always' written of her father aa no longer among; the living. And he was no other than Sir Ralph Oaveston, the man she had sat at dinner with only the other day;, the man whom she had insulted . in her husband's presence; the man . who - now wrote begging her to advance him a few hundred pounds and recommending a firm of decorators in case she should decide on alterations at the castle. It seemed Incredible, but she knew that in this ; casual,' prosaic manner she had lighted on the truth. Again she perused those old love letters, and as she read the likeness of the writer stood out clearer and clearer. He had retained some of his tricks of expression to this day. And in the light of her knowledge of him she knew, now how' to estimate his protestations of fidelity,' his assurances of his good faith, his excuses; i his promises, his final silence. Her mother, she hoped, had died before she had found him out. It was hateful. It was unendurable! She knew the man for a roue, a swindler, one utterly destitute of principle and generosity. - Till within the last forty-eight hours of his life. Oswald bad never failed .to refer to him in terms of . contempt She recalled his first allusion to him at Jerusalem. He had said something about the ugly escapades of his youth. - Her mother had been the victim of one of those escapades, no doubt. And he had, of course, completely forgotten her so completely that even -. the points of resemblance between her mother and herself recalled nothing, suggested nothing. , To Be Continued. . RICHMOND TAKES

Her thoughts often turned to the mother whom she had - never known, ' who had also trusted to a man's honor and trusted in vain. During the whole of her life with Oswald Varney, Leslie had never once glanced at the few letters and , mementoes which told the sad story of her origin. Now a passionate reaching out towards the past, to the most Intimate of human relationship, possessed her. She, rose and unlocked a drawer in her cabinet. She drew out the packet and unloosened the ribbon which she had tied In the Chiswick lodgings four years before. A letter fell to the floor. It was one of her father's. She picked it up and stared surprised at the handwriting. It at once struck her as familiar. Where, quite lately, had she seen those oddly formed g's, those elaborate outstanding capitals? She rushed to her desk. Her gaze was at once riveted by an envelope addressed to her. It bore the London postmark of the previous day. She stared at it fixedly for a long minute. Her eyes turned from it to the letter in her hand, written twenty-four or twenty-five years before. Undoubtedly both had been penned by the same hand. She had had many letters that day; she could not identify this particular envelope at sight. She drew a deep breath. Between her fingers she held the secret of her own origin a Eecret which had long ceas

ed to possess a material, practical in- j terest fcr her, it was true, but one 1 which every human being, old or young j high or low born, could not but desire : to penetrate. . ! With trembling fingers she drew, out the letter contained in the envel-; ope She recognized the signature at

anoe: "Your atrectionaie cousin, naipn Gaveston." She 6at down, weak and faint. Then the blood rushed to her cheeks. The discovery overwhelmed her as shameful. She rushed across to the cabinet, ranged the faded letters addressed to her mother side by side and diligently compared them with the notes she had lately received from Sir Ralph. The fresh handwriting was more crabbed and shaky than the old here and there little difference had crept in, but, on the whole, the style had changed remarkably little considering the years that had passed over the writer's head. The discovery shocked her hardly less than the reappearance of the busband whom she had believed to be dead. Somehow, she did not know

This in proportion to population was first below Richmond's showing. The . campaign has now started in earnest in Richmond, and a thorough canvass will be made in the next few days for new members and renewals of old membership. "The proposition is now up to the people of Richmond," said A. B. Atkln of Hamilton, O., director of the campaign, today. . "The people. can either

make it a success or a failure. We especially desire men employed in shops to realize that the association is not an organization for the board of directors and trustees, but a working man's club for working men." Special emphasis is being laid on this feature of the campaign. In all the shops the men will be urged to secure membership. The shop committee has worked so diligently that a large number of men probably will be secured. Team conferences will be held at the association building 'tonight further to discuss the plans of the campaign. Every worker is urged to be present at. the meeting of their respective team. K. H. Cureton, chairman of the social committee announced that a reception and social on Wednesday night November 3, would be held in the association building for new members and campaign workers. Below is given the result of the first clay's canvass in the state: Association: Points. Handicap.

ASKS CO-OPERATION OF CIVIC SOCIETIES

Referring to what he termed as a lack of co-operation between the city government and the several civic organizations for the purpose of better promoting and serving the best .interests of the municipality. President Bavis of the board of public works said today that the city's greatest need was "team work" in boosting. "I recently was asked to deliver an address j on the subject of The Development of a civic conscience. I said that if permitted to speak on 'The Creation of a Civic Conscience, I would accept the invitation," the board president said. "If Richmond is to progress a civic conscience must' first be created in this city and then developed." '

Kidney and Bladder Trouble Causes Great Distress

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to any one suffering from bladder trouble. For four years I was troubled by hemorrhages from the bladder and was not able to get any doctor who

could help me. I was In such shape i that sleep at night was impossible on

account or distressing symptoms. While bending over I would be stricken with such a pain that it was impossible for me to straighten up. Mr. Henry, one of our leading druggists, advised Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root; although I never had any faith in patent medicines, as a last resort I purchased a dollar bottle of Swamp-Root.

I noticed a decided change and after j using two bottles I was completely j cured. It seemed remarkable that I j should be cured so quickly after being ill so long. But since this took place nearly two years ago, I have never ! been troubled and would highly advise any one suffering from the same trouble to at least give Swamp-Root a trial and I think the results will be the same as mine. Yours very truly, THOMAS A. BENNETT, Greensburg, Indiana, j Personally appeared before me this 14th day of February, 1913, Mr. T. A. Bennett, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the same Is true in substance and in fact. i L. A. E'OWER. . Notary Public, j

The Doaro , is also consiaenng tne paving of Southwest Third street from Main street to National Ave., Richmond Ave., from the bridge to West Fifth street and the first blocks of South Seventh and Ninth streets. If the test of time indicates that the concrete paving provided this year for Sheridan street and Sixth street, from South A street to Ft. Wayne avenue, are as satisfactory as they now appear to be, city officials Bee a method for the permanent improvement of all the most used streets during the next few years at a cost much less than has obtained hitherto. - Low Cost. Avoids . Burden. . The low cost of constructing such streets provides against burdening property owners, and the city's share of the cost of making such improvements is only a little more than what the city now expends for the constructing of macadam streets. City officials agree that the concrete pavings on Sixth street and Sheridan street are a wonderful improvement over cement streets hitherto constructed in Richmond,- with the exception of South Twenty-third street. They are almost as smooth riding as an asphalt street. Their durability is the only question the board fs now interested in. Estimates made by the city engineer show that during this year nearly three miles of paved streets were constructed or about half the mileage of paved streets constructed prior to this year. There has also been about seven miles of . macadam streets constructed.
