— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. Nov. 2, 8.5 p.m. BERLIN, Monday. Variecl explosives including 1,000 detonators, fuses, home-made hand grenades, and Soviet literature regarding street fighting, and instructions on the use of explosives were found at the address of a man named UebeDbrook, an ex-trami conductor, whom the police declared had confessed to receiving £15 monthly for aetivities connected with the inner Communistic circles concerned in procuring and preparing explosives. Ueberbrook is an ex-employee of the j Soviet Embassy trade delegation at Berlin. In 1924-25 he spent seven months at Moscow. He has been a leader in the Communist "street cell" at Berlin and was a Communist candidate at the recent election. It is believed the explosives are connected with a plot to seize power in Germany. The "Lokal Anzeiger" expresses the opiniOn that if the suspicion is correct that the Ueberbrooks are Russians, the effect will be similar in Germany to that produeed by the publication of the Zinovieff letter in England. Disturbarices at the elections in Mecklenberg-Schwerin resulted in there being an increase in the Nazi vote. The Nazis shot dead two Communists.
