New York, Nov. 2.—The young wom an now In Paris who Is anxious to find her sweetheart, ex-Lleutenant Al brecht Becker, of tho German army, Is Miss Bertha Paul, daughter of Frank Paul, a wealthy and prominent resi dent of Montreal. Miss Paul Is well known In social circles In New York and spends part of,each year here. With confirmation of the information as to the Identity of tho girl, which A. Kaufman, the well-to-do manufac turer and, member of the Llederkranz »'lub, hus been making a mystery of, routes tho revelation of an even more remarkable romance than was origi nally told by him. Kaufman’s motive in trying to discover the whereabouts «»f Becker lies not merely In his friend ship for the Baroness von Kaskel, of Munich, the young man’s sister. Ac cording to Miss Paul's parents, Kauf man is In love with her himself. In finding Becker lie hopes to disillusion the beautiful girl, dlyert iter affection from the ex-Lleutenant. and thus re-, move an obstacle from the path of his own courtship. Miss Paul has refused to marry any one until her former lover is found, or It Is Known that he i- 1 dead. Angry at Daughter and Suitor.

Becker came to the United States, apparently with a view of becoming self-supporting. His sister In the meantime had married Herr Baron Von Kaskel, bu» the baron, who is wealthy, stipulated in the mar riage Contract that hla wife would nev er give financial aid to her brother, whom he consider a ne’r-do-well. “Becker found work In Chicago, hut became hard up and wrote to his sis ter for assistance. This letter^ accord ing to her promise to her husband, was not answered. Later on his landlady wrote to the sister that he was very HI. At the request of the baron his wife replied th'at she Could not nelp her brother. Loiter on, both the baron and the baroness experienced a change of heart and communicated with the land lady. By this time Becker had left Chicago und no one knows where he Is now. Worried by remorse, the baron ess. through her friend Kaufman, is moving heaven and earth to find'her brother and is making use of my daughter’s friendship for him to lure him Into dlvulglne his whereabouts. Father Enjoina 8ecrecy. Mr. Paifl admitted that Kaufman Is a friend of both hla and the von Kaskel family. Ho also *ald that the New York man la In Jove with bis daughter and has proposed to her several times. HI nee the publication of the story Mr. Paul has requested Kaufman not to re veal the name of the young woman. From the first Kaufman has kept the secret, although he told all the circum stances of the affair and gave for pub lication a picture of Miss Paul. It was through friends of the girl in New York recognizing tho picture, that her name became known. Mr. Puul re buked Kaufnmn and received a letter from him in which he said that his purpose in having it published was that he thought no one besides himself and Becker would recognize it, und that if the latter saw It he would reveal his whereabouts.

Hdtvever, It is believed that the wages offered to the machinists prior to the strike are to apply from Novem ber 5,. and the company’s proposition to arbitrate the differences between that scale and tho demand of a uni form advance of 2 1-2 cents per hour for machinists and 1 cent for appren tices has been accepted and the ar bitration has been arranged for under the flan and basis suggested by the company as promptly as practicable. Twelve shops. Including Atlanta, Birmingham, Macon, Knoxville, Helma, Huntsville, Memphis, Columbus, Spen cer, Alexandria, Lawrencevllle and Charleston, were tied up by the walk out nearly a month ago. The machinists walked out of the shops Yieeause the road refused to grant a flat increase of 2 1-2 cents an hour. The machinists claimed the men In tho Southern shops at this place get less than machinists anywhere on the system. They also claim that living expenses In Atlanta arc higher than many places and equally as high as any other cities on the system. Tile demand of the machinists was met by the officials of the Southern 1th a counter proposition. This prop- _jitlon provided for an increase of t 1-2 cents an hour for Atlanta, 1 cent for Birmingham and 1-2 cent an hour for KnexviUe, Spencer und Columbia.
