BOMB PLOT CASE Believed Sixth Prisoner Gave Dynamite to Fay ¥ New {'Ym-gc, Nev, 2. man, the sixth, was added yesterday to the group of alleged conspirators held in $25,000 bail each by the Federal suthorities on the charge of plotting to blow up munition‘laden ships bound for the Allies. He is Englebert Bron- khorst, 52, a Bavarian, formerly in the German army, but now a mining engineer and expert in' explosives. Bronkhorst, tall and military bear- ing, careful and courteous of speech— in fact the acme of politeness—is said the authorities to have been the Ger- by | man who met Robert Fay, designer of | mines for disabling ships, and to have given him the dynamite found in the latter’s possession at the time of his arrest a week ago last Sunday.

This highly optimistic view- point was expressed in the report on ,business conditions received by the # Federal reserve board from the agents made public here yesterday. Business in the past month has shown a buoyancy sufficient to over- come the jark “spots” which had been commented on in early reports. The buoyancy is such that all sections abound in confidence. Perhaps the most encouraging feature of the agents’ reports is that the recent in- vigoration of domestic business is not based on war orders, which many per- sous have until now regarded as the prosperity which had .come to the country. Reports Optimistic. The Boston district reported a con- siderable improvement in commercial adtivities and announced that the re- ports coming from the different lines of trade are not only cheerful but de- ciddly optimistic. While jt is difficult to differentiate between the normal seasonal demand and the unusual de- mand for European deliveries, or be- tween the direct and indirect stimulus the war orders have given to general business, still the domestic demand 1is daily pecoming more and more a fac- tor. The woolen mills are busy and the wofsted mills are also doing well. The boot ani shoe industry shows a marked improvement over the previ- ous month. The bond houses are re- porting a good demand for the higher grade of rallroad konds; in fact the demand is exceeding the supply, thus creating kigher prices. New York Agent’s Report. lere is an excerpt from the report of the New York reserve agent: “During . September industrial ac- tivity increased, wholesale and retail trade expanded and collections im- proved. Reports almost uniformly good have ‘been received from many sections of this district. A corres- pondent summarizes the general crop eituation of New York as slightly be- low normal, with prices in general ebove average.” —— ey You Can Stop Drinking You had better stop at once or youwll lose your job.

The Philadelphia agent, who had been making pessimistic reports, says: “Improved conditlons are reported from nearly all parts of the district. A hopeful sign is the report of in- creased sales by department stores, retail clothing, dry goods, grocery and other concerns dealing directly with the consumer. While domestic trade is still below normal, for the first time this year we have reports of 2 distinct betterment. Most industries and manufacturing plants are busy and in certain lines it is difficult to obtain merchandise, deliveries being slow. Tabor Well Employed. “Labor is well employed and from the point of view of the laboring men | conditions look good for the fall and winter. The textile industry, one of the most important in this district, which a few months ago was most de- pressing, now shows substantial recov- eries, “Railroad shops are now operating on almost full time, being in a better | condition than in any period since | 1913. Substantial increases in the | number of loaded freight cars being | moved is reported. Coal mining op- erations continue to improve, paper mills are busy and glass industries are reported to be in fair condition- Demand for Steel Here. “Unprecedented conditions in the steel trade continue to be the factor in influencing all business throughout this district,” reports the agent at Cleveland. He continues: ‘“One change over last month’s report is that much of the demand in steel trade now is domestic, which has made contract- ing even into next year quite active. | Shoe manufacturers, shoe jobbers, | wholesale carpet and dry goods deal- | ers, jobbers in millinery, etc., report | good business—in some cases as much as 26 to 30 per cent. increase.” The reserve agent at Richmond re- ports excellent conditions in the cot- ton market, a fine tobacco crop and an improvement in the lumber mar- ket. Labor, he says, seems to be ful- 1y employed and on a babis satisfac- tory to all interests. \ Atlanta District. The reserve agent at Atlanta say: “Events of the past month ha | not only sustained but increased the | confidence of the general business public in the expanding actlvities of | almost all lines. This is not confined | to any particualr section.” The outlook in the Chicago district is summarized ‘thus: “Affairs are seemingly gradually gaining in strength from day to day | trade is giving some evidence of being | of the increase and a noticeable spirit | of returning and increasing activity appears to be abroad.” Improved in St. Louis- Business conditions in the St. Louis | district show continued improvement according to the reserve agent for the Eighth district. The jobbing trade is said to have made substantial gains in the thirty days just closed and ! merchants view the future with con- | fidence. The agents at Minneapolis and Kan- sas city are not as enthusiastic as | those in the East, but they report no | retrogression from the excellent con- ditions commented on in earlier re- ports. The Dallas agent reports “a gen- eral improvement in all lines of bus- iness and an optimistic feeling as fo the fall months.” “There is an absence of pessimism’ reports the agent at San Francisco. “This seems logical in view of the certainty of large crops coupled with | present easy credit conditions.” ————————————————————————————————————————————————— e —_——————— AT THE ANNUAL HOME-COMING QN THANKSGIVING DAY WILL BE GLAD TO PICTURE, AND IF, CAN'T GO HOME THIS YEAR, MURRAY — Photographer New Britain, Conn. 173 Main St. AND YOU THEIRS.

The list of the defendants at pres- ent suggest Fay as the inventor of th.e engine of destruction, Scholz as his mechanician, Kienzle as an expert in clocks and as furnishing money, Deasche as an errand boy, Brietung as a supplier of money and Bronkhorst 2s a man of experience in science and high explosives. The new prisoner has been working for Benedict Lust’s Naturopath Sani- tarium, in Butler, N. J.—Lust of herb tea and back to nature fame. He ar- rived there last May from Mexico, after wanderings of more than twenty-two years. He has dug for silver and gold in Canada; diamonds in South Africa. He has hunted for silver in India. He has been in Aus- tralla, New Zealand, British FEast Africa, apparently as an expert mining engineer, but always as an intense German patriot.

How he learned of Lust's sani- tarium, called “Yungborn,” on the side of a rocky mountain about a mile and a half from Butler, has not been ex- rlained. revealed the fact that Germans have heen for the greater part patrons of the resort, where Dr. Lust, who got in trouble in this city several years ago, believes he can cure illness by Search there last evening pure food, fresh air and back to nature principles. Thither Bronkhorst went and there Te was employed, presumably building a water pipe line to the sanitarium from the village. He also had to do with landscape gardening and at the same time he was only four miles Mills at Haskell. He lived alone in a bun- galow and there was nobody to keep watch on his movements. In this connection it may be recalled that Scholz also was engaged on an estate in Waterford, Conn., as a landscape gardener only a few miles from a big mill at Norwich, which was filling war orders for the Allies. Bronkhorst had opportunity to buy liberal amounts of dynamite, and he did so, not only being the purchaser himself of seventy sticks from the Lawrence hardware store in Butler but at other times sending members of his gang to the store for the other sticks. . On July 27 he bought twelve sticks of dynamite, fifty feet of fuse and eighteen blasting caps; August 16, twenty sticks, twenty caps and fifty feet of fuse; September 14, twen- ty sticks, fifty feet of fuse and twenty caps, and October 28, six sticks. Persons Heard Blasting. Persons llving near the sanitarium say that they heard little blasting last summer and practically none for weeks. Yet the purchases of dynamite went on and when Bronkhorst was arrested six sticks of dynamite were found in his bungalow. Bronkhorst received letters regular- ly, some from Germany, and he also met many Germans who went there for the rest cure. Among them was Dr. Kienzle, who is reported to have gone there because he had neuralgia. Kienzle and Bronkhorst were close friends and it seems that Bronkhorst had plenty of free time. Clue From the Others. Kienzle and Bronkhorst are said to have kept in correspondence, and it is believed that the secret service men got a line on Bronkhorst from letters found in Kienzle's possession. At any rate they had a clue in conversation with both Fay and Scholz, for both |'these men hinted at a man in New Jersey who had supplied them with dynamite. It was the very dynamite that Bronkhorst had purchased from the Lawrence hardware store in But- ler. The investigation of the secret ser- vice men brought to light the facts, as admitted in part by Fay and Scholz. Fay, it seems, was eager to get dyna- mite to carry on his experiments with explosives. He besought Kienzle for ald, and finally Kienzle described a certain man to him and told him to go to a railroad station in New Jersey. }and receiving He received instructions from Kienzle and followed them to the dot. Gave Fay Dynamite. ighted from the train on the day set. He carried a lighted cigarette and his kerchief was sticking from his front coat pocket. He walked around until he saw a man, said to have been Bronkhorst, who carried an unlighted cigarette. He approached Bronkhorst and told him that he should “light up.” Bronkhorst asked for a match it said a few words which identified him as the man whom Fay sought. Fay is sail to have re- ceived twenty pounds of dynamite. The secret service men shadowed Bronkhorst for James A. Savage, c visited him in his bungalow on Satur- day and asked him to call on Chief Flynn in this city. Then followed a twelve hour session between Bronk- horst and Flynn in which the chief sought to get Bronkhorst as a witness against Dr. Kienzle, but he did not succeed. He asked Bronkhorst many questions and got replies that had no bearing on the present case. Finally early Sunday Bronkhorst was per- mitted to return to his bungalow, but on Sunday afternoon he was request- quested to return. Offer of Immunity. Another long session followed, with John C. Knox, special assistant United States attorney, asking questions. Bronkhorst was told that evidence had his part in the alleged plot to attack munition ships, munity was made to him if he would turn state’s evidence, but that did not even get a smile from Bronkhorst. The man was grilled at length. He was willing to tell of his adventures in mining fields in different parts of | the world, of his training in the Ge man army, his diploma from a uni- versity in Bavaria, of his arrival in this country the first time twenty-two years ago and many other things. But when it came to anything bearing on inquisitors straight in the eyes and beg their pardon for not answering. Bronkhorst, his short cropped hair sticking up straight, his mustache curled in the manner typical of the German officer, looked haggard ves- terday morning when he was taken in to Mr. Knqx's office at the Federal building. There he was questioned again, but he declined to answer and when told that he must give $25,000 bail or go to jail he never blinked an eyelash. Asked for Speedy Trial. He was taken before United States Commissioner Houghton, told of his rights after the complaint had been read to him, refused the tender of the services of a lawyer and bowing to the court, he said: “I'll waive all my rights in order that I may be tried as quickly as possible.” He turned to leave in charge of a deputy marshal The halted him and counsel, but again speaking in a tone sharpness, he said: “Your Honor, I have an insuperable aversion to lawyers. 1 regard the profession as unclean. I had the mis- fortune once in my youth to study law and I know what I say is the truth. The only favor I can you is to as possible and to give orders that I am to see no one.” Would Not See Reporter. ~“Very well,” replied sioner. In the Tombs Bronkhurst declined to see a reporter. Fay, however, con- sented to see a reporter, and asked concerning the arrest of Bronkhurst, he replied: “Bronkhurst is absolutely unknown to me.” Asked concerning that part of the complaint which charges him with plotting to destroy ‘“a ship of the United States,” Fay said: “I never had the slightest intention of attacking any ship bearing the United States flag. There were plenty of ships belonging to the nations at war with Germany to which I might have turned my attention, Denies Plot Against Plants. Asked about the reports that he was planning to blow up munition plants, he said: “I have made it clear and distinct that I never paid the slightest atten- tion to munition or other plants for two reasbns: Firstly, I do not believe it is technically possible to damage any such plant seriously; secondly, T was wise enough not to interfere in any way with American business any- where,” ’ Patrirck J. McDonald, attorney for Fay, visited him in the Tombs yes- terday and afterward had a talk with Scholz. Scholz refused to deny or af- firm the story that McDonald also would act as attorney for him. Mc- Donald said he would probably seek a writ of habeas corpus by Thursday if there was an adjournment. Abra- ham Snydecker, attorney for Scholz, insisted that his client would deny charge made against him. It was said last night that no im- mediate arrests were expected in con- nection with the mine case. The sec- ret service men, however, are working on clues and may get another man in a few days. he bowed and with a militar DILLON WINS AGAIN. New York, Nov. 2.—Although Jack Dillon of Indianapolis was out- weighed fourteen pounds, he defeated Charley Weinert of Newark, N. J., in a ten round boxing contest here last night. Weinert stood off Dillon during he first three rounds. After that Dillon got inside Weinert's guard and administered severe punishment to him with straight rights and right crosses to the head and body blows. Dillon weighed 171 pounds and Wein- ert 185. In a previous contest Dillon had knocked out Weinert. BIRTHDAY-HALLOWE’EN PARTY.

Shevlin, who was summoned from Minneapolis, expected to reach New Haven late today. He left Chicago last night. “I am going to New Haven to be of what assistance I can,” Shevlin said. “I don’t know what's the mat- ter there, but I do know that we'll have to get Yale ready to defeat Har- vard and Princeton. ‘We've all got to pull together and do it mighty quick.” Twice before since his undergradu- ate leadership of Yale Shevlin has in of t been called during a slump eleven to assume charge coaching . the ALLIED STAF DISAGREE.
