HOLD FARMER
AS SLAYER Of
ANTONI SZALAI
Man Shot Saturday Afternoon
Dies Sunday Morning
Frank Mark is De-
tanned.

Claiming that he had fired at a
dog with his IS caliber Winchester
rifle. Frank Mark, farmer living
short distance south of Rum Vii
lage, was arrested late Sunday after
noon on the charge Of Staying An
toni Szalai. 80 years old. 1902 S.
Kendall st
Szalai died at St Joseph hospital
at o'clock Sunday morning from a
rifle shot received / ? hours before
while ne was passing near the farm
Of Mark
When questioned by the police fol-
lowing his arrest Sunday afternoon,
Mark admitted 10 having fired his
rifle al about the time that Szalai
was shot in the back, but denied that
he had shot at him. claiming that
he had fired at a dog that had gotten
into the corn field.
The bullet extracted from SzalaTs
body at the hospital Saturday night
is the same kind of bullet used in
Marks rifle. Mark is being held
without bail and no one is allowed
TO communicate with him.
NcighbOrS Find Victim.
Persons living in the neighbor-
hood Of the Mark farm found
Szalai lying in the middle of the
road shortly after they had heard
the rife shot. The police am bulance
was called and the wounded man
was rushed to the hospital. Satur-
day night the bullet was extracted.
1t had entered through the back.
While the police do not believe
that Mark had any particular malice
sainst Szalai they are not inclined
TO believe that he was shooting at a
dog They say that the farmers In
that neighborhood have been
troubled lately by persons stealing
corn. and that it is possible that
Mark thought that Szalai had been
on his farm with malicious intent.
Held IncommuniCadO.
Friends Of Mark attempted to get
into communication with him Sun
day night but they were refused.
There was no one at police head
quarters who had the authority to
allow the visitors to see Mark. In
fact. there was no one at head
quarters that knew on what charge
he was being held. The chief Of
police had the arrest sheet locked
up i'm his desk and had gone home.
1t is not the policy at police head
quarters TO inform those in charge
either during the day or night OF
what is going on in regard to the
arrest Of persons held on charges OF
anything more serious than intoxica-
ton or conducting house of i'll
fame. and consequently the friends
of Mark could not even be told on
what chage he was being held.
Szalai was a Hungarian and is
survived by n wife living in Hun
gary. He had no relatives in this
country.

Sign Of Revolution.
lBy j. w. T. Mason, Written for the
United Press.]
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The invita-
ton OF the Bolsheviki to the German
workfngmen to revolt against the
kaiser's imperialist government, has
won Its first serious success.
The formation OF a workingman'
council In Germany demanding the
right to negotiate with the govern
ment. is due to the influence of the
German democracy. When working.
men in a semi-autocratic country like
Germany form central committees
and insist that they be recognized by
the government as spokesmen for la.
Dor, that is the beginning of revolu'
ton.
The extent to which the revolution
may be carried depends on the de-
termination OF the leaders and the
spirit OF the people.
To predict is unnecessary; rather
must the developments speak for
themselves. The fact is important,
however, that the anti-governmental
movement in Germany Is both econ
omic and political. The worhngmen
are striking, not only for higher
wages, but also as protest against
continuing the war to realize pan
German ambitions.
A union of aims such as these is
always, in itself sign of revolution.
The key to the immediate develop
ments in Germany is undoubtedly at
BrsstIitoysk Nothing could have
happened to give more strength to
Trotsky's position than the German
strikes, coming on the eve of the re-
opening of peace negotiations with
Russia Trotsky's prestige has been
enormously increased. He can claim
that the working people of Germany
are endorsing him and repudiatfng
their own negotiators.
AT this critical time in Germany. il
is in Trotsky's power to expose still
more emphatically the treacherous
imperialism of the German govern
ment II Trotsky finally brings the
negotiations to an end by refusing
the German annexationists' terms and
announces Russia will re-enter the
war for democracy's sake, the effect
in Germany will be profound. Unless
all present indications are falsified.
it will mean the permanent estrange-
ment Of the present German govern.
ment from the people, with revolution
approaching the explosion point.
lit is OF tremendous significance
that Philip Scheidemann, the German
majority socialist leader, has joined
