KAISER FOILED BY AMERICAN'S "MASTER MIND"

Exposure of Intrigue and Plots Due to Mystery Person in United States. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Tucked lecurely away in a secret cranny of the government today Is the mysterious "master mind" who deciphered the prize German code and set the diplomatic capitals of the world by the ears. The American brain revealed exFrench Premier Calllaux's pro-German political intrigue and put him under a traitor charge before his ownn countrymen. It brought out the stark skeleton of German's Central and South American dominion ambition and rattled it before the world. It has caused the recall of Count von Luxburg as German minister to Argentina, and caused the populace of Buenos Aires to riot In the streets for war on Prussianlsm. It has Involved the Integrity of the Swedish ambassadors to Mexico and Argentina. It has pictured the machinations of Von Bernstorff and his puppets in the United States. Who Is Master Mind? -Who is he--or she to beat German cunning by fathoming the intercepted Lux burg notes? That's the question being asked around the world today by premiers, potentates, plenipotentaries, and other wearers of the political purple. The kaiser himself would give millions of marks to know and to get his clutches on this person, for he or she Is the one who has played ducks and drakes with Wtlhelm's dream of world domination and spilled his pan-Ger man plans all over the International situation. Who thie person Is nobody knows for publication. After the war perhaps the story may be told. Decoding a Brilliant, Feat. After secret agents intercepted the code messages from Luxburg to Berlin, dome or them via Count von Bernstorff of Washington, it fell to this person to fathom their secrets. Not only were they couched la German but al.-io in the German code, which the kai;;er's craftiest diplomatic arents spent years in building up. And this American smashed the code. As a result the kaiser's prize secrets are ours, but this prize secret of ours is not the kaiser's. , BAILEY BALDWIN, FARMER, IS DEAD Bailey Baldwin, 78 years old, retired farmer died late Tuesday afternoon at his home, 341 College avenue. He is survived by a widow and several children. Funeral arrangements have not ' been made. He is a brother of Alpheus Baldwin. Opens Residence as Hostess House V Mrs. Henry P. Davison. Mrs. Henry P.

Federal Order Prohibits Buying of Hens and Pullets Until May 1

An order issued yesterday by the Federal food -administration prohibits the buying of hens and pullets during the; egg-laying period,' or, until after May 1. The order becomes effective today (Tuesday) and is intended to stimulate production of eggs by keeping the largest possible supply of hens and pullets on the farmB. The order affects the entire nation. A copy of the Federal order wras received yesterday morning by Stanley Wyckoff, food administrator for Marion County, who at once notified all produce dealers operating in Indiana- ; polls and throughout the county that tue purchase ot iowis is promDitca. A violation of this order, Mr. Wyckoff declared, means the revoking of the dealer's license who commits the offense. "This order," Mr. . Wyckoff said, "comes at the right time and it is just the regulation needed. A hen or pullet on the farm now is worth more producing eggs than she would sell for, if the owner was allowed to dispose of her. The average hen or pullet will lay at least fifty eggs between now and May 1. Figure each egg as being worth 3 cents each (they are now about 3 3-4 cents each) one hen ' would produce in that time $1.50 worth of eggs. "The order applies to all dealers. It means that a dealer can not buy a hen or pullet after today until May 1. The food administration wants these hens and pullets kept on the farm to produce eggs. Eggs soon will become a substitute for meat and the consumption will increase accordingly. Then comes the time for the eggpacking season. A larger supply will have to be packed than usual to take care of next winter's consumption. "Another thing the food administration will not permit dealers who have supplies of frozen poultry to raise their prices during this period. GEORGE W. DOVEUL 67 YEARS OLD DIES George W. Dowel!, 67 years old, died at his home 427 South Eight street, Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock. He is survived by his wife, and one daughter, Mrs. Ernest Evans.

Women of Mrs. Demas Coe's circle of St. Paul's Episcopal church sewed at the Red Cross rooms. Tuesday afternoon. Owing to the weather there was a small attendance at the rooms.

The aim is to have 100 percent of the school children, members of the Red Cross. The campaign began Tuesday, Lincoln's birthday and will end Washington's birthday.

Feb. 18. Mine No. 5 of the Jackson Hill Coal and Coke company was practically destroyed bv fire of incendiary origin early today, the loss being estimated! at between $15,000 and 120,000 by General Manager Colesen. The mine Is located north of Tecumseh, and the fire will cut down the coal production of this district about 2,000-tons per day. "The mine pas purposely eet on fire. There is no doubt about that," Mr. Colesen said today. "I cannot say how long we will be compelled to remain closed down, but we will rebuild as soon as we can get material. If material is too hard to get I will secure a priority order from the government for the needed material." This Is the third tipple In this vicinity to be destroyed by Incendiary fire this winter. President Will Confer With All Party Leaders - - 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.

The new order prohibiting the pur-; chase by dealers of fowls means the , keeping on the farms of Indiana ap-1 proximately 1,000,000 fowls and, es timating the average production - of. eggs for the period at fifty per fowl,; a supply will be conserved in Indiana! alone by the order. Coming at the same time Is another : reduction of 5 cents a dozen in the ; wholesale buying price of fresh eggs, j local produce jobbers now offering 45 , cents a dozen for strictly fresh stock. Specials not more than three days j old command a permium over other kinds at 48 cents a dozen. Receipts of fresh eggs are increasing rapidly, local dealers assert, a situation which makes for lower prices. OWNERS TO GIVE BEST WORKERS Every manufacturer in Richmond will co-operate with Labor Enroller Roble in making a reserve list of skill ed laborers for Wayne county.

John M. Lontz of the F. and N. Lawn Mower company said: "The govern ment must have ships and we will have to come across, for whatever the government sets out to do, it does. I for one am ready to do my part and if the government wants my skilled workmen I will give them." Other manufacturers who made short talks in which patriotism was the keynote were Charles McGuire, of the Dille-McGuire Company, George j Seidel, Pilot Motor Car company, William F. Bockhoff, National Automatic. Ira Wood, Standard Reliance and others. Error of One Letter Gives Editor Beating DANVILLE, III., Feb. 12. Because he made a typographical error In hia newspaper, C. A. Aldrlch, editor of! the Hoopeston Evening Herald, was beaten severely by Jack Bogart, chief of police of that city, a few days ago, it is alleged. Today the editor caused the arrest of the police officer on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder. On Friday the newspaper printed an article saying a warrant had been issued for a man about town, charg ed with making disloyal utterances against the government, concluding' the article with the statement, "The! papers were placed in the hands of ' Chief of Police Bogart, but up to a late hour he had not been able to find his man." The linotype man placed the letter "m" In the word "but," and the chief concluded Aldrlch had called him a "mut," and proceeded, it is al leged, to beat and kick the editor when he met him.
