ing to the story alleged to have been
told by Strang.
John J. James, 1910 Montgomery
avenue, was the second witness called.
lie said he had an account in the North
Penn Bank and admitted having an
ovcrdraftof S110O He said he opened
the account October II. 1917, and with
500. He was overdrawn 50 in May,
this year, and because the check had
been paid kept on overdrawing his ac-
counts. He said he met Strang one day
and told him he was i'll and out of n
job. He declared Strang told him he
would care for any overdrafts he might
make ont Of his personal account.
George T. Pusey. of 246 North Sew
enteenth street general manager for the
international Tooth Company. admitted
having an $500 overdraft in the North
Penn Bank This witness was reluc-
tant to testify and refused to definitely
say that Strang had promised TO care
for any of his overdrafts.
Walter o. COlhesh, former book
keeper in the defunct bank, was next
called. He admitted that the Parksidc
Garage, in which he and George l..
Brown are interested. and in which
Strang formerly wnS also, had an over
draft in the North Penn Bank Of
50, 1873. .78.
"Our expenses were greater than our
income hc replied. when asked for a
reason for such situation.
"Who authorized payment of your
ovcrdrafts,' asked Mr.. Taulane.
''Strang." was the reply.
You still were making overdraCtS up
to July 18. two days before the bank
closed, weren't you:" asked Mr.. Tau
lane.
"Ycs. guess so. but kept no ar-
checks. did know when he had an
overdraft of $500 No one but Strang
and Miss Regan knew of our over
drafts"
Former BoOkkoeper Almost Swooms
Miss Margaret Helen Regan. for
mer North Penn bookkeeper, almost
swooncd when newspaper pho
tographcr took a fashlight photograph
Of her. She said she never sent back
oyerdrafts of any of Strangs friends,
or of Meyer. the cashier.
Str0ng was brought up from prison
TO attend tho hearing handcuf"d to
Detective Oeschcle's wrist. He cheer
fully greeted several acquaintanccs as
he recognized them in the crowd sur
rounding the magistrates Office.
He kissed his sister, Mrs. Gertrude
Taite, and his elderly aunt, Mrs. Emma
Strang, with whom he made his homo.
Assistant District Attorney Taulanc
was late, so Strang, after smoking sew
eral cigarettes, carefully agreed to pose
for the nc..rpaper photographers and
oven asked en- what kind of face
they desired him to make
One of the most amazing things in
the last few lays, detectives say. is the
way Strang has developed into n hero
worshper. with himself as the hero.
He has boasted that he could easily
escape from the officers of the law if
the desire possessed him.

PLAN BIC EVENTS
Gen. MetcaIf To Arrange Re-
ceptiOnS for Kansas Soldiers.
Appointment Made by Governor
Announced Today.

Gen. Wilder s. Metcalf, Lawrence,
was today appointed by Governor
Allen to head the committee which
will arrange for receptions in this
state for overseas Kansas soldiers on
their return home. Altho commit
tee, with Adjutant-G General c. l. Mar
tin as chairman. has been sent to New
ork to welcome Kansas men in the
Forty Thirty-fifth and Eighty
ninth divisions upon their arrival at
an American port. the appointment
of Metcalf is the first step by the gov
ernor looking to a state welcome and
scores of local receptions and celebra-
tions when the men in these divi-
sions arrive in Kansas.
Metcalfs duties will include the ar
engagements for the state reception,
which will probably be held at Fun
ston. His committee will commune
cate with the war department and
learn of the exact transportation dates
Of the Kansas units, and cooperate
with cities and counties in local re-
ceptions and celebrations. The exact
date of each units arrival home will
be obtained as soon as possible.
The appointment of General Met
calf places the Kansas Homecoming
reception work in the hands of one
of the most prominent veteran mill
tary men of the state. Metcalf was
the senator from Douglas county in
the last legislature and aided material
ly in pushing thru the appropriation
of $4,000 with which to greet and
entertain the Kansas soldiers when
they come home

The second case in Shawnee
county to come under the new state
law which provides that a motor car
in which Intoxicating liquor is hauled
may be confiscated and sold by the
state was filed this morning in the
district court by County Attorney
Fisher against Albert Miltonberger,
$40 North Harrison street.
Tuesday Sheriff Hugh Larimer in a
raid on the Miltonberger home, found
five quarts of whisky in the house
and a quart and a pint of wine in the
1915 Dodge car owned by Miltonber-
ger. he says. John Miltonberger. a
son of the man who owned the car.
admitted. according to Larimer, that
he had brought in some liquor from
Kansas City on the train. left it in
hiding and then brought it to the
house in his fathers car. Altho the
law provides that a hearing in such
cases shall be held within sixty days,
Miltonberger and the authorities mu-
tually agreed to a hearing next Satur-
day
The first case under this law was
that of DOC" Cook. who was arrested
a few days ago by Robert Miller as he
was bringing a quantity of liquor INTO
Topeka. in his car.

-e~--- CANNON BALLS
 END CANNIBALS

MELBOURNE,-The Australian na- val vessel Fantome was sent to the New Heibrides islands recently to ehas tise a tribe of cannibals accused of having committed murders. The man. eaters occupied the northern side of Malekula Island and were accused of the murder of a French cocoamut planter.
 As the New Hebrides are owned jointly by France and Great Britain, the Australian warship was selected to punish the savages. The Fan tome landed a punitive force of six tv-five officers and men at Malua bay, where the party was joined iby eighteen native guards.
 Having reached the outskirts of the village where the murderers were supposed to be hiding, the command der of the expedition sent an inter- preter to parley with the villagers for the surrender of the men sus- pected of the murder.
 Groups of armed savages from the interior were hiding on the hill sides overlooking the village and two of their chiefs shouted to the villagers that if anyof them surrendered to the expedition the village would be fired upon. Seeing that these island A Atribesmen were making all the trou- ble, the punitive party opened fire upon them with machine guns and followed this with a charge by a de- tachment of bluejackets, who took the ridge and drove the savages out, This ended the affair, the expedition suffering no casualties.
 British and French residents de- clared the cannibals had been taught a severe lesson which would insure the future safety of the white resi- dents of MalekulG

United States Birth Regis
 tration Area Too limited

The United States is behind in a very important feature of it's national accounting, according to pamphlet just issued by the Children's Bureau. United States Department Of Labor Only 20 States register the 90 per cent of their births necessary for them to be admitted to the birth-registration area of the United States. Thesa States include little more than half Of the population of the country. Most modern European countries have very complete systems of births registra- tion, and have had them for years.
 The pamphlet gives an outline for 3 birth-registration test which can b. Undertaken by any community. Many places have already made such q test as part of their chtldren's year work. In this way town can learn how com pletely its births are registered h. complete registration may mean that new law is needed or that the old one is not adequately enforced
 It is the inalienablo right Of every
