SWEEP GERMAN
INTRIGUE FROM
THREE NATIONS
United States Aiming at Argen
tina, Mexico and Sweden.
Also Furnish Proof of Plots to
German People.
WILL MEXICO OUST ENVOY?
Blow to Pro-Germans in Com
ing Swedish Election.
Feeding Flames of Dissatisfac
tion in German Liberals.
BY CAKIi I. GROAT.
,; Washington, Sept. 14. The United
States is aiming at sweeping German
Intrigue out of three nations Argen
tina, Sweden and Mexico. And she
would convince Teuton liberals that
the world is unsafe while such plotting
XThat is the meaning behind new
revelations anent Swedish partnership
with Germanv. shown by a letter of
German Minister von Eckhardt,
Mexico, to the German chancellor
published today.
This letter proved that Sweden has
been not alone messenger for Ger
many, but also directly in league as
spy with her, for Von Eckhardt openly
declared in his letter that Folke Cron
holm, Swedish charge at Mexico City,
v:hh messenger and would give news
"from a hostile camp." - Thus far the
American aim shows rtlgns of bearing
gnud fruit.
Results of Expose.
. First. Argentina has summarily
dlsmiMse'.' the German minister there
who used the Swedish legation to pass
insolent, plotting messages.
Second. Sweden is wrought up
over the revelations; her papers con
demn the government and with elec
tions cor ling on there, the question of
the alliance with Germany is the big
issue with the anti-Germans appar
ently running ahead.
Third. Mexico knows the United
States "has the goods" as to German
plotting on her soil, and will proba
bly be chary of harboring Teuton
spies hereafter and may even do as
A rgentina did dismiss the German
minister.
America is trying with her revela
tions also to feed the flames of dis
satisfaction among Germanys liber
als; to convince them of America's
oft-repeated charges that the world
Is not safe for democracy wh!U: the
kaiser and his strangling intrigue
stretches out thru the world. Ger
many's liberals, who have opposed
intrigue and who hate such blunder
ing as German diplomacy has snown
the past few years, are taking heart
nt tha conviction of the German sya
tem. Ijcttcr of March 8, 1910.
The last doubt that Swelen had
been "duped" by Germany was swept
aside in the latest letter. This, i;nder
March 8, 1916, date, said Cronholm
carried messages personally for Von
Eckhardt "not seldom quite iste at
night" and "he is the only diplomat
thru whom Information from a hos
tile camp can be obtained."
Vnn Eckhardt asked the cnancellor
to have Cronholm decorated by the
kaiser, but suggested it would be well
to hide the fact from all but Cron
holm and the Swedish government
until after the war.
Cronholm, it developed today at the
Swedish legation, was abruptly dis
missed during January, 1917. Lega
tion officials here professed not to
know why, tho it Is deemed possible
that the United States about that time
may have come into possession of the
letter showing his guilt.
Cronholm had "not disguised his
sympathy for Germany," von Eck-.
hardt wrote and it is possible that the
Swedish government found It neces
sary, despite her sympathy with the
Teutons to let him out.
Stamping Grounds for Plote.
The present development recalls the
"Zlmmermann plot note addressed to
the same von Eckhardt who was to
stir up Mexico In a Mexican-Japanese
alliance against the United States
when the break between the United
States and Germany came.
There can be no doubt that Mexico
was a stamping ground for German
plotting tho the Mexican government
did not necessarily know what went
on within Its borders.

TIE UP BABES' MILK
K. C. Dairymen Refuse To De
lirer During Strike.
Strikers in Pitched Battle? 70
Saloons Closed.
Kansas City, Sept. IS. The strike
situation here was further complicated
Thursday when seven of the largest
dairies in the city ceased delivery or
milk, asserting that the striking rail
road freight handlers and drivers have
threatened to interfere with the de
livery of milk and even its sale. The
combined output of the seven dairy
companies is estimated at 40,000
quarts daily.
The dairy operators say they will
not send out their wagons until they
are assured of adequate police protec
tion. It is reported the dairy com
panies are refusing to sell milk to per
sons applying at the the plant. The
striking freight handlers deny they
have threatened to hinder the deliv
ery of certified milk, saying they made
a special exception to the companies
of milk for babies and for the sick.
The wagons of the A. Morrison com
pany started out this morning but
were stopped by a crowd of approxi
mately 400 freight handlers and the
horses were unhitched.
Federal Mediator Arrives.
None of the dairymen admit that
any of their employes have struck It
is reported, however, that twelve
drivers of the Morison company are
out.
Frederick L. Feick, the federal
mediator who brought about a settle
ment of the Omaha packing house1
strike, arrived today to work in con
Junction with Patrick C. Gill, federal
mediator, who arrived Monday in set
tling the local packing house strike
situation. Negotiations between the
strikers and packing house officials
were balked following a conference
today when the officials would not
agree to a clause In the ecmsiliation
plan which provides for a guarantee
to the strikers the right to advocate
the principles of unionism.
Close Many Saloons.
Seventy saloons in the stock yards
district were closed today fololwing
last night's battle between strikers and
employes of the Armour plant in
which four men were so badly injur
ed they had to be taken to hospitals
and many more were bruised and
beaten. Extra police were keeping
order in the district this morning.
The rioting occurred when 800 men
and women in the Armour plant were
besieged by more than 1,500 strikers
early last night. A general fight fol
lowed and bricks and clubs were used
freely. Many of the workers were
unable to leave the plant and spent
the night there.
The situation was generally quiet.
More than 6,000 men are out in the
packing and allied industries.
MAY ASK KANSAS TROOPS.
Mayor of Kansas City, Kan., Consid
ering Protection ior Packing Houses.
Kansas City, Sept. 13. The pack
ing house district was quiet this
morning, following the rioting of last
night, when one striker was danger
ously injured, two obtained injuries
and an onlooker was badly bruised.
Despite the peaceful indications, it
was announced that Mayor Menden
hall would possibly ask Governor
Capper of Kansas, since the packing
houses are in Kansas City, Kan., to
Bend a detachment of state troops to
prevent any rurtner rioting.
The plant of Armour & Company,
where the rioting occurred, was closed
today. Officials said that while the
plant could operate, they did not want
to cause any further disturbance or
bring on assaults upon the workmen
who hav remained with them.

KAISER SIDESTEPS
Argentine Plot Sweden's Affair,
German Version.
Luxburg's Private Advice
"Wasn't Heeded by Berlin.
BY JOHN GRAJTDFNS.
Berlin, via London, Sept. H. Ger
many holds the American revelations
as to Count Luxburg make the matter
Sweden's affair exclusively.
The official attitude here Is that the
telegrams cited by the American state
department as to the Argentina mat
ter show that the messages were not,
inspired by the German government
and were merely private proposals,
indicating the initiative of a single
German diplomat.
The further fact was pointed out
that the German government had not
followed the advice given in the Lux
burg messages but on the contrary
had setlted its differences with
Buenos Aires.
"Wilson's Latest Offensive "
Amsterdam, Sept. 14. Tho Cologne
Gazette under the caption "Wilson's
Latest Offensive" discusses the Swe
dish incident and sees in the disclo
sures merely "another wnsoniaii
jnethod" to put pressure on the neu
trals, even Dy means or neit ana
the interception of dispatches."
The Reinisn westpnaiian unzette,
under the caption, "The Last Card,"
meaning of the entente, thinks that
the disclosures show that the enemy
realizes that "the game is lost and
is now making final attempts to drag
the last neutrals in."
FORCED IN U. S. ARMY!
Mexican Newspaper Spills Sensation,
but Government Says It's Untrue.
Mexico City, Sept. 14. Fl Demo-
crata prints a story to the effect that
ten thousand Mexicans have been
forced into the American army and
that President Wilson has oraered
these men sent to the front before
any other contingent. The paper de
clares that these Mexncans were seen
aboard transports before the latter
sailed. According to the story, Mexi
can consuls protested but were told
the men were citizens of Txa and
New Mexico- This answer, ibe paper
says, seems unlikely, as relatives of
the men claim they are Mexican citi
zens. Responsibility for these statements
is placed by El Democrata on Gen.
Martin Espionsa, who recently re
turned to Mexico from the L'nited
States.
The foreign office last night issued
a statement declaring that publisheo
reports concerning the sendinrr ot
Mexicans as part of the American
army to France were untrue.
STEAL RIVAL'S LOOT
'While Gang Is in Jail Its Auto Tire
Plunder Is Stolen.
Chicago, Sept. 14- While one gang
of thieves was locked up on a charge
of stealing $50,000 worth of automo
bile tires from the Grand Trunk rail
road, another gang invaded their
rival's quarters and stole part of the
plunder.
Detectives arrested the second gang
today and recovered $7,000 worth of
tires. y

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS
Chicago. Sent 14. CORN Corn prices
rallied today after an early decline. The
initial weakness was due to prevailing
warmth and sunshine but was later offset
by a forecast of cool cloudy weather un
favorable to the proper development of the
crop. Every day of adverse weather at
present was regarded as increasing the
chance of severe damage by frost. Open
ing prices, which ranged rrrm gc tc e
lower, with December nt 1.19 to $1.194
and May at 1.16H to $1.16, were follow,
ed by upturns to well above yesterday's
finish.
Persistent reports that crop injury has
been greater than the trade in general
had believed, led afterwards to a material
fresh advance. Subsequently peace talk ac
companied Dy prom taxing on a large scale
brought about a sharp setback. The close
was weak, c to 114c net lower, at $1.184
to M.87T4 December. 1.1614 to tl.lR May.
OATS--Oat8 duplicated the action nU

New srk Stock Market.
Wall St., New York, Sept. 14. STOCKS
leclinlcal conditions were favorable for a
rise as the market gave indications of be
ing speculatively sold out.
The liquidating movement in investment
shares and popular specialties having been
ciieckea, operations lor tne long account
were conducted aggressively and early
gains were extended. The turn for the
better in the Russian situation which
caused a rise in Rubles to 16 cents, com
pared with the recent low level of 11 and
indications " of outside buying were the
primary stimulating influences. Bonds
were firm. Liberty bonds were sold . at
v.i.v to WV.UB.
An active demand for stocks caused ft
sharp upturn early today. The low level
reached the selling movement of the laBt
few days brought in buying orders in con
siderable volume. The strength of the

loSMiEXt ?lt4-T7Th?,,?er,,11 .t": A i
large short interest is said to exist In Sep-
tember oats with concentrated holding on
the part of foreign Interests who Uael
tnem Doufrnt with expectation of getting
the cash oats. More are said to have been
sold by hedgers here and in the country
than can be delivered owing to the scarcity
of cars. Speculators have many sold and
are showing uneasiness. There were big

long were taking profits.
Some time ago many traders in view
of the immense crop of oats expected a free
movement from the farms in September
and predicted prices for the latter wonld
go to a full carrying charge basis. They
have been disappointed and the premium
of 1 cents yesterday with 2c more tor
the cash on track made them 4 cents over
lecemoer.
This is nnusnal and attracted more oats
from the country at the last.
A great deal of talk is heard about the
probable removal of the maximum price
in December and May corn of $1.28. It is
said to have been discussed in a casual way
among the. directors but there is no in
tention of removing it at present. Compli
cations iu the trade might result from
bucu action ana until tne legal points in-
ait: Kiucu uoiuiuc win oe aone.
It Is claimed by some that to remove the
maximum will require tradmn- in new
and old style contracts snd make a mixed
situation. Shorts who sold prior to the
removal did so under the urotection of
the maximum which would have to be con
tinued. Longs with corn bought under
the same conditions would get more than
the maximum. All trades made after its
removal would be without restrictions as
to prices.
"The Chicago Board of Trade cannot be
used by speculators or exporters who de
sire to manipulate the markets," said Pres
ident J. P. Griffin. "No manipulation of
September oats is to be permitted. If at
tempted, trading in that will be stopped."
it is nam me next irost scare in corn
is due Sepember 20. The same party who
predicted it for September 10 and 11 is
responsible for it.
