Another little example of the small
ness of the world: The American
consul general at Dresden, St. John
Gaffney, was dismissed by President
Wilson some few months ugo because
he had as a dinner guest Sir Roger
Casement, the Irish knight who start- j
ed the Irish uprising. At the time the
papers of the United States were full
of the Gaffney story, and Gaffney is
a brother-in-law of Dick and Jim
Ryan, of Katalla, who have been try
ing to have a railroad built to Con
troller Hay.
The report has been circulated for
the past few days that four or five
hundred men are mushing this way

BUFFALO MAN ON
TRIAL ON CHARGE
OF MURDERING MOTHER
Special to Gateway by United Preis.
BUFFALO, April 17. — J. Edward
Teiper, prominent young business
man of Orchard Park, was placed on
trial before Justice Brown at the i
opening of the criminal term of the
Supreme Court here today, charged
with the murder of his mother, a
wealthy widow.
The crime was committed at mid
night January 30th, while the mother,
Mrs. Agnes M. Teiper, her son Fred
erick and daughter Grace, were re
turning to BufTalo in their automobile
after a visit to the accused man’s
home in Orchard Park. Ed. Teiper
accompanied the party a few miles
down the country road to a point
where his own automobile had been
stalled and abandoned late that day.
! While working on his own machine
under the glare of the headlights of
the city-bound motor car, Teiper
claims, a negro bandit appeared sud
i (ienly and knocked him senseless with
! a blow on the head. When he re- j
| covered consciousness, Teiper swears, j
| he found his mother and brother
dead, their skulls crushed. Teiper’s!
sister Grace was still alive, although
suffering from five separate fractures
of the skull.
Miss Teiper has recovered and has
been pronounced surgically cured.
She is under $15,000 bond to appear
as a witness against her brother, but j
1 physicians believe she will never be
I •
able to recall anv of the incidents con-;
nected wtih the tragedy.
However, much interst centers on;
her appearance in court. If her
memory should suddenly become clear
| to the occurrences of the midnight
automobile ride the destiny of her
brother probably is in her possession.
The prosecution will make.-every ef
fort to fasten the crime of matricide
upon the accused. It has woven a
chain of evidence, mostly circumstan
tial, around Teiper and expects to
j prove the murders were planned and
executed by him.
District Attorney Dudley claims
Teiper was in financial straits; that
mortgages and notes held against
him totaled over $10,000.
Teiper’s mother held $150,000 left
by the father to be divided upon her
death among the remaining children.
Teiper today appeared cheerful and
confident of acquittal. He is 28 years
old, a college graduate and a man of
intelligence. Up to the time of his
arrest he lived with his wife and three
small children in a handsome home at
Orchard Park.

ALLEGED GERMAN BOMB
PLOTTERS GO TO TRIAL
(Special to Gateway by United Press) |
NEW YORK, April 26.—The trial
of “Lieutenant” Robert Fay, Walter
Scholz and Paul Daeche, the trio of
alleged German bomb plotters whose
supposed comprehensive plans for
blowing up allied munitions ships in
New Yor£ harbor was nipped in the \
bud by secret service men here
October 24th, were scheduled to go to
trial before Judge Hoyland in U. S.!
Criminal court here today.
With the trio was arrested Max
Breitung, nephew of E. N. Breitung,
the Michigan millionaire and copper
king, a staunch pro-German.
Young Breitung is charged with
having supplied the alleged plotters
with money.
The elder Breitung furnished bail
for his nephew and put his millions
of resources at his disposal for de
fence. Young Breitung has been
granted a separate trial. He came to
New York from Chicago and gave
himself up voluntarily the day after
he learned his supposed associates
had been arrested and he was being
sought.
Fay at that time, was said to have
made a confession stating that he had
been taken from his field duties as a
German army lieutenant and permit
ted to come to the United States, with
the knowledge of his superior officers,
to organize the ship bomb plots in
the United States.
Fay is said to have claimed he had
1 an invention, which he tried on ships
| in New York harbor, whereby he at
tached explosives to the screws of
\essels in such a manner that they
would blow up the boats after they
were outside the three mile limit on
the American coast.
Fay also is said to have stated that
as soon as he had his bomb plots
ready for action here he was going to
extend his operations to Canadian
ports.
It also was said Fay claimed the
two German embassy attaches who
| have since been recalled at the Amerf
1 can government’s request, Captains
; von Papen and Boy-Ed, knew of his
presence in this country and of his
bomb plots.
It is considered possible that the
trial will be delayed today by the at- j
tempt of Daeche to get a separate j
trial. The point may be settled in a 1
moment, however, and the trials pro
ceed at once.
FUNSTON AT HOME
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 18.—
General Frederick Funston, pictured
by most Americans as a fierce com
mander thirsting for the blood of
Villa, the bandit, is in reality one of
the most affable and home-loving men.
Back of his home at Fort Sam Hous
ton here, he has a big garden where
he spends several hours a day getting
his mind off the Mexican situation.
Under the warm rays of the Texas
sun his beets and lettuce and other
j vegetables are sprouting.
