CLEVER DEcOY LANDS
ALLEGED WHITE SLAYER
Fourth Wife of Joseph Balkan
Aids in His Arrest
In Toledo ~.

Falling into a trap cleyerly laid for
him by local officers. with the assist
ance OF his foufttf wife. known as
May White, an inmate OF Cham
piain-st. resort, Joseph Balkan, also
known as Jabez White, Max Gerber
and Morris Gerber. was arrested by
Immigration Inspector Coyne.. in, To-
ledo, Monday, and was brought TO De-
froit TO answer a charge OF violating
the white slave law. The authorities
also allege that Balkan is bigamlSt
and that he has sold each OF his four
wives into white slavery.
When Inspector Coyne boarded an
interurban car In Toledo. Monday al
ternoon, with his prisoner, for the
trip TO Detroit, two men well known
TO the Toledo police, got on the same
car and took a seat directly behind
Coyne and Balkan. A policeman
tipped of the inspector to the fact
that the men were friends OF Balkan
and might attempt TO release the pris-
oner. Coyne, with Balkan handcuned
70 him, then took seat in the rear
OF the suspects and watched them
closely throughout the Journey to De-
|froit. at the same time keeping his
free hand on his revolver. One OF
the men was seen TO whisper 70
Balkan as the latter was taken from
the car by Coyne. but they made no
move against the federal officer.
The immigration authorities have
been looking for Balkan for the last
ak months, and, Monday, requested
the local police to aid them. Detec-
fives Black and Wilson found his
fourth wife, May White. in the Cham
plain-st. place a few hours later and
notified Chief Inspector Frick.
May White, at the request or the
officers, sent decoy telegram to
Balkan, whom she supposed was In
Toledo, saying that she was i'll and
urging him to come to her. Balkan
teIegraphed back promptly and asked
her to come to Toledo. She then sent
another message, telling him when she
would arrive. Inspector Coyne went
along on the same interurban car.
Balkan met the car in Toledo, as ex-
pected, and he had just greeted his
wife when Coyne stepped up and
snapped the handouts on his wrists.
Balkan has posed as pugilist, and
II has been rumored that he would

holders OF May wheat are busy selling
out and buying into the July and Sep
tember options. They think they see
greater possibilities for an advance
later in the year. and have. 10 all APP
pearances, abandoned hope in the My
deal. Liverpool was firm and little
higher on Tuesday and the home mar
kets took their tone OF firmness from
that.
The crop scare period is at hand and
there has been "A very hard winter,
which makes bears cautious about at
tacking the new crop options and
these appear safer investments than
the MAY deal while wheat stocks are
so large and demand is lacking. The
new crop also appeals TO the bull be-
cause fall plowing was not done on
the usual scale last year in the spring
wheat states. and limited acreage is
anticipated.
notwithstanding the heavy selling Of
May on Monday IL is the general be-
lict that clique holdings in Chicago
have not been disturbed and that
much of the buying OF July was the
effect OF closing spreads and filling
southwestern buying orders that are
usual at this time OF year The old
