sent the bomb. But Kurth had dis
appeared and they could find no
trace OF him.
A guard was put on the Wana-
maker city home as well as on the
Tuxedo Park estate. Kurth appeared
at the West 57th Street address last
Thursday morning and was arrested.
Kurth said he had just obtained a
job as superintendent Of an apartment
house at No. West 5sth street and
lived in a furnished room at No. 2l9
East 10th Street At the 5Sth Street
address the detectives say they found
material stolen from the Wanamaker
home. They preferred a charge of
grand larceny against Kurth and Sc
cretly arraigned him before q Magis-
trate who held him in $1,000 bail,
Kurth was then taken to Police Head
quarters and there he was told for the
first time that he was suspected of
having sent a bomb to Mrs Wanna
maker.
He denied at first and persisted in
his denials until yesterday, when he
made a complete confession. Follow
ing the confession, he collapsed and
was sent to Bellevue. He is fifty
three years old and the detectives be-
lieve he is mentally unbalanced, al
though he betrays no signs of men
tai malady unless excited.
Kurth will be indicted by the Grand
Jury tomorrow on the evidence at
hand,
District Attorney Swami, after see
ling Kurth, said that n man Of that
name was employed as butler in the
home of a family he know in this
city about twenty years ago. His
Iactions became abnormal ana he was
ICAamined by a.ienists and committed
10 an insane asylum. The District
| Attorney believes that Ernest Albert
Gustave Kurth is the butler who was
declared crazy twenty years ago.

SENATE SQUABBLE
/. OVER TREATY IN
PARTY PLATFORMS
Action of Massachusetts, Con-
ventionS Causes Renewal of
Debate Ahead of Time.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-The Sem
ate jumped into a discussion OF the
Peace Treaty to-day two hours ahead
OF its schedule. When the session be-
gan Senator Hitchcock presented a
telegram from the Los Angeles
Branch OF the League 20 Enforce
Peace saying among other things that
The people OF California were over
whelmingly in favor OF tho league"
References in the telegram to Sena-
tor johnson, Republican. drew sharp
comment from Senator Borah.
Maybe the Senator from California
will be able to recoup his Republican
losses in California by Democratic
gains in Massachusetts" said Senator
Borah, in asking that the platform
adopted by the Democrats OF Mas%l-
chusetts. opposing the League Cow
cnant as framed, be put in the record.
why not insert the platform adopt
cd by the Massachusetts Republicans
which might throw light on this sub
jcct?" asked senator Nelson.
Senator Borah did so ana added
that Notwithstanding the Presidents
wish. there seemed TO be danger Of
getting the league in every political
arena
Senator Hitchcock declared that in
presenting the telegram It was not
his purpose to show that Senator
johnson had lost personal following.
but that Republicans Of high standing
and every calling in California and
some of the Senator's former cam
paign managers "repudiate Senator
Johnson's action on the League OF
Nations"
Senator McComber. a Republican
mild reservationlst, denied that Great
Britain would have six votes on the
League OF Nations to one for the
United States He charged that Sem
ators advocating the amendment by
Senator johnson proposing to limit
the voting power OF the British col
onies were tanning popular prejudice
with an unfounded appeal.
Senators who in private conversa-
tion would never dream of attempting
to deceive one another" said Senator
McCumber, seem unable to resist the
temptation to take advantage OF n
prejudice created by this deception,
and with studied avoidance OF the
roal and full truth, give this prejudice
another boost"
senator McCumber said the argu-
ment of Senator Jackson and other
supporters OF the Johnson amend
ment as to Britain's voting power was
"too absurd TO he true" and asked
why France, Italy and other nations
did not raise objections to putting

thing that an order Of a Federal

Such an order is hostile TO every IN

MRS. WANAMAKER
Continued From First Pagc)

Immediately sent the package to her
husband at Police Headquarters and
the case was given TO Detective Ser
geant Gegan and Detectives Edward
Cooper and Charles Newman OF ;he
Bomb Squad.
The bomb, Kurth says, was not in
tended for Mrs. Wanamaker, and the
developments OF the case appear TO
give his claim some merit. Kurth
was discharged from the Wanamaker
home at Tuxedo Park some time in
September because OF charges made
against him by Mary O'Brien, Mrs.
wanamaker's maid. He appealed 20
Mrs. wanamaker for reinstatement,
but she upheld the'maid, Kurth says
that he knew Mary O'Brien opened
all packages addressed to Mrs. Wan
amaker and ne sent his Internal ma
chine so addressed in the hope and
belief that the maid would open 1t.
The detectives found that the paper
in which the bomb was wrapped Is
used exclusively by the John Wana-
maker department store, that the ad-
dress label had been taken from Q
package previously sent by express
from the Wanamaker store to Mrs
Wanamaker at Tuxedo, and that the
bomb was mailed at No. 1872 Fourth
Avenue near the Wanamaker stor'
and that Kurth had recently beer
dismissed from the employ OF Mrs
J Wanamaker.
