She Says Germans Forced Her

Stories of Affair

Berlin, March ~, (via london,
march 21), 12:4S &. m.-Mrs. Mona
McAdoo Foster, sister Of the American
secretary Of the Treasury, William G.
McAdoo, on Friday entered a formal
complaint with the American ambas-
sador, that the police had come to her
mousse on March 9Th and forced her,
under threat of searching her apart
mentS, to surrender $500 marks
S$725) in gold, which she had stored
away for emergency.
Inc ambassador Immediately had
the complaint put into affidavit form,
preparatory to making a demand on
the German foreign office for the re-
turn OF the money.
Mrs. Foster claimed hat she had
surrendered the money only when
sist, but did SO under protest and re-
ceived a receipt which she cashed for
paper money.
Without waiting for the complaint,
the German authorities Immediately
began an investigation. This disclosed
that the gold a been illegally pur-
chased at a premium by Angelo
Scarpa, an adopted brother of Mrs.
Foster, with whom she had been re-
siding here for several months. The
brother, in a sworn statement to the
police, declared that he had bought
the gold from a milk maj for one
per cent premium, not knowing that
it was in violation Of the law. He
said he had to go to the United States
and had heard that tickets could be
purchased only with gold. Later, he
changed his mir and decided to re-
main in Berlin.
Mr.. Scarpa signed an affidavit that
the money had been surrendered vol
unfairly to the authorities and thai
he vas convinced Mrs. Fosters i'm
perfect knowledge Of the German
language had led her to mistake The
possibly over-zealousness Of the police
for threats. The Reichbank on Satur
day sent Mrs. Foster a message say

any time Of need.

Adair is recovering in St. Luke's
Hospital.
The surgeon began his task about a
month ago, When Adair was taken TO
the hospital to have g tumor remov-
ed from his skull. The dissection of
the affected part OF the skull revealed
the fact that the membrane covering
the brain had become affected.
After the surgeon had cut away
the diseased membrane is became ne
cessary TO provide artificially some
covering which would prevent the
| brain from ~protruding through the
opening caused by the removal OF
| the infected part of the skull. To &C
complish this the surgeon cut d strip
from the mebrane which covers the
thigh bone and sewed it over the
| brain.
To provide a substitute for the
missing bone from the skull tho
boys shoulder blade was robbed Of c
piece Of bone 3 "a by 3 Ia inches
in size. This was ground to III the
opening in the skull.
