QUARREL DIVIDES
PEACE COUNCIL
Rupture in Alleged Labor Body Be
sponsible for Uncovering Al
leged Bintelen Conspiracy.
GERMANS DOMINATE SOCIETY
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. A Quarrel
which rent labor's national peace
council Into two antagonistic fac
tions was stated today by federal
officials to have been largely respon
sible for the uncovering of an alleged
conspiracy Involving Franz Von Rln
telen to Instigate strikes In munition
factories.
According to this statement a
number of the members of the coun
cil joined the organization believing
it was a body formed to work impar
tially in the Interests of peace. Later
they discovered, it is said, that an
Inner ring of German sympathizers
and agents of Von Rlntelen was in
control and intended to use the coun
cil as a means to further the strike
propaganda.
When the government started Its In
vestigation into the activities of Von Rln
telen, several men who had been officials
of the peace counrll and had resigned
went to the federal authorities and placed
at their disposal a mass of information
regarding the Inner workings of the
council.
L. B. Straube, secretary of the council,
is said to have ben one of these men. He
is due in New York from Chicago to
morrow and will be questioned by United
Htates Attorney Marshall. He is also ex
pected to be one of the principal witnesses
before tho grand Jury when that body
reconvenes next week.
Samuel Oompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, will be another
witness. It was stated at the federal
building today that the call for recon
vening the grand Jury is being held up
Pending definite Information as to when
Mr. Oompers can get here.

Rare and Ancient
Jewels Taken from
Chicago Institute
CHICAGO, Dee. 11. Eluding three
watchmen guarding the building, a thief
gained entrance to the Art Institute of
Chicago on Michigan boulevard early
today and escaped with a collection of
rare Jewels valued at between $35,000 and
50,000.
The collection was the gift of Le Verne
W. Noyes, a Chicago manufacturer, In
memory of his late wife. It was made up
of five pieces, all or ancient French
make. It Included a necklace of dia
monds and opals, a brooch of dia
monds, earrings, a watch, buckle and
pendant of opals.
Entrance was gained through a sky
light on the roof of the building. The
thief lowered himself with a rope, made
his way to the north wing of the build
ing, pried up a glass case containing the
collection and retraced his steps.
Secretary Newton H. Carpenter of the
institute said that the Intrinsic value of
the stolen Jewels was between $10,000 and
$15,000, but that their associations and
probable historical value might bring
their worth up to the higher estimate.
