Political Antagonist
Reason for Arrest,
Declares Stanchfeld

WASHINGTON, March Charged
with the cmbezzlement of several mill
ion dollars from the French govern
ment in dealings with American motor
truck manufacturers, Frank j. Goldsoll
is in Jail here tonight, awaiting ex-
tradition proceedings, which will begin
March -.
Preliminary arrangements for his
release in the custody of marshal
were held up by order of United States
Commissioner Hit, and Goldsoll was
rcmanded TO Jail
The prisoner declined to comment on
the case, but his counsel, John B.
Stanchiicld. Of New York, talked free
~, asserting that Goldsoll's arrest was
due to political antagonism. The
French ministry, he said. looked with
dlsfavor on Goldsoll's close afiliation
with Albert Thomas, former Minister
Of Munitions, who waa the real OBJ
Jcctivc Of the prosecution
Agents of the Department Of Justice
have had Goldsoll under surveillance
for some time, it is said. He came to
Washington from Palm Beach Monday
and took quarters at the Powhatan
Hotel. To-day he was called TO the
Department Of Justice and placed under
arrest there.
Since there can be no cxtradition for
an offence committed in this country,

Democratic Executive Chairman John

Mayor Hylan Back
From His Vacation
At Once Declares Himself in
Favor Of Municipal
Ownership
By BRIGGS

Mayor John F. Hylan, refreshed by
his vacation at Palm Beach. returned
to tie city last night, arriving at the
Pennsylvania Station at $3.50. He had
broken his trip from the South by n
short stop-ovcr in Washington. His
wife, daughter and Preston p. Lynn
accompanied him. Grover A. Whalen,
his secretary, and Sergeant O'Hara, his
brothe r-in-law, met him at the station.
The Mayor when first questioned con-
fined himself to the assertion thai he
had enjoyed a good time and was glad
to be back. When asked if he had not
something to say concerning politics
he remarked:
Nothing to say, but rejoice in the
victory of the four Democratic Con-
gressmen in this city yesterday. 1t
shows that the people of New York are
upholdjng the hand of our great Prcsi-
dent in this war to liberate the nations
of the world"
Jhc Mayor, when told that there was
to be public hearing on the Wagner
Donohue bill on municipal ownership
IN the Aldcrmanic Chamber on FRIDAY
afternoon, said:
Il nope the people of New York will
be present at that meeting in great
numbers. We are suffering from in
to!erablc conditions from the trans
portation companies, and those in fa-
Vor of municipal ownership should let
the Legislature know how they feel
1t IS not question of the citv ac
quirlng these public utilities immedi-
ately. What we want is that the Legis-
iature should pass this measure to give
US the power to acquire them when we
arc able to do so. Adoption of this
measure will at least serve to convince
corporations that the city has the
power TO deprive them Of their fran
chlses, and that may serve TO mako
them give us better service"

Russian Count Who Attempted
Suicide Lost $40, 400 Gambling

If the time ever comes when luck
changes for Russia, among those who
ought to be found first in line is
Count Nicholas lserguine Then the
count may recover some of the S26,40O
which he lost while patronizing ex-
elusive gambling clubs in New York
City since he was sent here about
fourteen months ago to assist the
Cars Minister of Finance in raising
United States loans
After his big loss at chemin- de- fer
in the Olympic Club at the Ritz Carl
ton Hotel, the count lost his nerve
and shot himself through the chest in
his apartments, 8 East Forty-seventh
Street He recovered, however, and
was called to the stand yesterday to
tell Judge Wadhams in the John. Doe
gambling inquiry about his misfor-
tunes.
Bad Luck Pursues Count
Bad luck pursued the count straight
from Petrograd, where he played bac-
carat, chemin- defer and bridge whist
to New York His average daily los
New York Club, at 20 West Fortieth
Street, and at the Bridge and Whist
Club, Columbus Circle was $3.50, and
he played every other day, he said. Coco
luck came but twice. On November
20 last he won $1,000 at chem lin de fe1
in George Y Bauchle's Partridge Club
in the Hotel Imperial. Fortune smiled
on him the next time a month later
when he won $4,000 from the Part
ridges. Meanwhile Nicholas Romanofl
had been experiencing a run Of hard
luck over in Potrograd and Minister
of Finance Bark was forced to cover
leaving Count lserguine and hundred
or more like him in the United States
on wobbly financial footing.
To cap the climax came that stun
ming loss of S26,400 in the Ritz. The
count wrote his check for his losses
and gave it to John Shaughnessy
president Of the club, according to his
testimony yesterday, and with an ach-
ing head and heavy heart he retired
to his bachelor apartments, at 9 East
Forty-seventh Street. A few hours
later an ambulance from Flower Hos
pital carried him away with a bullet
hole in his right chest.
In his cultured way the count re-
fcrrcd to this distressing circumstanc &C
IN low voice, and, turning to Judge
Wadhams, he requested that he be ex-
cused from going into the details or
the ground that it was "an accident
and had no bearing on the subject mat
ter Of the inquiry. Judge Wadhams
after a whispered conference with AS
sstant District Attorney Smith. who
was examining the count. decided tc
spare the witness the embarrassment
Of answering any more questions along
that line.
The count for eighteen years was ar
inspector of state savings banks fol
tho Imperial Russian government. Their
he was sent to New York. ne said, tt
