Detroit, Sept 1S-Jenor Zboralski. nineteen
years old. living at No. 981 Sycamore street,
Bunalo was taken into custody to-day at the
Follsh seminary here under circumstances which
lead to suspicion that he intended to use a.
loaded revolver which was in his pocket in at
tacking Father Withhold Buhaczkowski. head of
the seminary. Zboralski attended the seminary
mere for several years, but last June failed to
pass his examinations and got no diploma.
returning to his home and last Sunday told a
friend In Buffalo, the officers at the seminary
say, that he intended to come to Detroit and
kill Father Buhaczkowski with a revolver which
he had just purchased. He also, it is said, re-
peated his threat to a Buffalo priest, who tele
graphed warning to Father Buhaczkowsk
The police were informed and arrangements
made to have officers detailed in the seminary
to-day.
About $40 a. m. to-day. before the officers
had arrived Zboraisld walked into Father
Buhaczkowski's private office and said: ''I want
a diplomat
Several of the priests assistants seized him
and the police We're called. A loaded revolver
found in Zboralski's pocket and he was
locked up.
The young man. after his arrest. denied that
he had intended to the weapon against
Father Buhaczkowski. II did not intend to kill
him." said Zboraski. 81 came to the seminary
to demand a diploma, and. if refused it, was
going to kill myself and fall at Father Buhacz-
kowski's feet

NEEDS REST AND HELP

Connecticut invalid. who is homeless and suf-
fering from nervous prostraton and other Ills. IS
In urgent need of immediate help. Her case Is a
particularly sad She reared in comfort
and is we'll educated. but the death of all relatives
leaves her in a helpless. sick and forlorn condition
and she does not know which way to turn She
should be In a sanatorium. and every physician who
has tended her manifests deep sympathy with her
condition. II the worry and uncertainty Of her
life could be removed for time by placing her
where she would be properly cared for she would
greatly improve If every Connecticut member
would contribute a small sum in money stamps
that could be converted into money, toward the
support OF this unfortunate woman she would be
placed under proper care She is deeply grateful
for what has been done for her by the T. S. S. IN
the past but immediate help is needed now. There
is never enough in the emergency fund to meet
even the everyday demands made upon IL. so in
distressing cases like this special plea must be
made and It is made with the full assurance that
rnany kind-hearted members will be glad TO con-
tribute to this urgent need

EMERGENCY FIND.

The T s s has no desire to be classified as a
constant beggar'' of money, and yet money Is
necessary meet the urgent needs of the poor the
sick and the unfortunate who come within the rays
of the society. To give temporary help 10 SUCH
as these-to tighten the many burdens OF the dis
lives of the ''shut-ins' to give sunny holidays TO
children 10 working girls and overtired mothers
was and is the primary purpose OF the tribune .
Sunshine Society. Each season brings its specla4
pleas for funds. such the outings In summer,
the coal fund in winter, also for all the spec'dl
holidays when good cheer is distributed But
there is one fund out OF season. ana tn@L 10
the emergency fund.- Never day passes out there
is need of helping several worthy cases sometimes
it is poor widow. who needs 2 or IS 10 heiP hel
pay the rent and thus few household goods
from the street; sometimes a father willing to
work but unable to find it, whose children are
actually in need of food sometimes 4 working slr4
out of employment. who would be homeless "lth-
out timely aid And, again. many meroers on tle
invalid list In different states often require httIe
money to buy medicine some necessary artlcIe
for their personal comfort.
If space were not so limited any number OF
emergency needs could be cited TO show the reIleI
from suffering and despair that comes from a little
money given promptly.
The president knows how varied and extensive
are the local sunshine deeds done by the branches
everywhere. and also that the individual members
who give most generously TO all T s. s. pleas are
contributors to other phiIanthropes: but she does
earnestly hope that the Importance Of the L D .
emergency fund will not be overlooked and that
no worthy destitute family individual in need
Of immediate help will be turned aside because
there is no money In this fund Whether the gift
ba large or small let it be sent as often crcum
stances allow that the means to help may be al
ways at hand.

BUSINESS DULL IN GERMANY.
Changes in Import Schedules and Decreases
in Exports

Washington Sept 13-Germany. for the first
time has Included half manufactured products IN
the raw material class OF imports. and living AMI
mails are separated from the foodstun and pro-
vision class. according TO information furnished
the Department of Commerce and Labor by Consul
General A. NJ, Thackera, of Berlin.
Mr. Thackera reports a gradual increase IN the
percentages of raw materials and half-hnished
products and a decrease in the percentages or
food products and provisions. the latter class be-
ing 32 per cent of the total imports. the lowest
figure for many years. There was a decrease or
SO 81 900 in sugar exports during the last calendar
year. due to the fact that shipments OF sugar TO
the United States practically ceased. The most
notable increases in exports were in cotton goods
woollen goods and machinery.
The greater part OF Germany's decrease In i'm
ports during the first half of the present year. Mr.
Thackera says, was due to the shortage or the
worlds grain crops. The most noticeable decreases
in exports were in sugar. iron ore and pig IRON
Attention is directed by the consul general to
the economic depression of the last six months In
Germany. Reports from most of the industries
are not encouraging, excepting those from the
manufacturers OF electrical goods and locomotives
and car builders The condition of business Is de-
scribed as OF stagnation.
