Or. Edmund Richter, Ger
man Engineer, Is Rescued
From Hands Of Greek Bandits
And Is Returning Home.
Case Somewhat Similar TO Capture
OF Miss Ellen Stone.

Berlin. Aug. "a dispatch from
Saloniki. today, states that DIR. Ed
mund Richter. the German engineer,
who was captured by Greek bandits
and held for a ransom of $225.o0o, has
been rescued on the Greek frontier and
is returning to Saloniki.
Or. Richter was engaged in mapping
on Mount Olympus in the wild frontier
region between Turkey and Greece un-
der the auspices of a German geo
graphical society when May - he fell
into the hands of the brisands.
The capture took place inside Tuf-
kish territory and his escort of Tur-
kish gendarmes was killed Letters
from Lalios, the bandit leader, de-
manding a ransom were delivered by
Turkish villagers.
The German government acted
promptly and a small army OF turkish
soldiers were sent in pursuit Of the
bandits At the same time represents
tives of the German government and
of the geographical society secured the
mountains, taking with them the gold
for the ransom of the doctor. For
weeks the search was without result.
Recently news dispatches stated that
the pursuit had been abandoned, as II
had been learned definitely that Rich
ter was held in TirnaVos, on Greek ter
ritory in the house of one Delyannis.
The news dispatches also insisted
that DIR. Richter. like Miss Ellen Stone,
the American missionary, who was
ransomed by Bulgarian band in 1901
for $4,000 had been captured not by
ordinary mountain brigands, but by the
Greek National Society" the capture
being organized by Captain Strait, for
merly Greek officer, who once lived
in America. and that the affair was an
incident of the band warfare between
irregular attachments of Greeks and
Bulgarians.
The ransom, it was assumed, was
destined to further the partisan war
| fare breaking out anew in Macedonia.

The greatest crop of farm products
In the history of the state will be
harvested in Michigan this year.
The fruit crop will be exceptionally

600 bushels larger than in 1870 and
will approximate 100000 bushels.

The wheat acreage last fall was con-
siderably larger than in previous
years and the crop was advanced to

Michigan, in the past, has never
been considered in the light OF a

STRIKE LOSSES WILL
TOTAL MILLIONS
AND THE END OF THE GRAND
RAPIDS TROUBLE is STILL
FAR FROM VIEW.
CONTROVERSY HAS BEEN ON
ABOUT THIRTEEN WEEKS.
Public Sympathy Continues With the
Men Who Walked Out-$12,oO0 a
Week Paid in Strike
Benefits.

That Grand Rapids has lost money
through the big strike of furniture
workers, which seems as far from
settlement as ever on the part of the
manufacturers, is an assured fact.
The loss, although impossible to esti-
mate In round numbers, certainly will
mount in the millions. and this In
spite of the fact that the controversy
has been on only some 13 weeks.
Since the beginning of the strike
the members of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners have been re-
ceiylng union benefits-married men
getting IS a week and single men get
ting "a week. A conservative esti-
mate Will place the number of mar
ried men at 1900 and the single men
at 1000 Taking an average wage of
$ll a week 1t will be seen that each
married man loses IS a week. while
each single man loses Sc In addi-
ton, there are the carvers, who get
nothing. and the finishers, who re-
ceived union benefits for awhile, but
who get them no more The common
laborers get nothing, so that on the
whole a conservative estimate of the
losses in wages TO the men since the
beginning of the strike will reach at
least 100000.
The National Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners has been paying
on an average of $4,000 a week in
strike benefits. For 13 weeks the
amount wovd total $156.000
The manufacturers have lost mon
ey through being forced to go outside
for help, in paying for special trains
to bring strike-breakers, in feeding
them and housing them and in paying
for guards. The outputs OF the fac
tories have been curtailed seriously,
the income of the plants suffering ac-
cordingly. While the loss to the
manufacturers is exceedingly heavy
ii is impossible 10 give an estimate.
