SLAIN BURGLAR WAS SHY,

Double Life unsupported

PHILADELPHIA. July 17.-Con-
scientious student by day. daring
burglar at night. This Is the amazing
double role successfully played for
months by Anthony w. Holfelner,
who was killed Sunday night while
attempting to rob a University of
Pennsylvania fraternity house. Pro-
fessors in the university medical
school characterized him as quiet
student and plugger."
One noted psychologist said that
Holfelner was probably victim of
dementia praecox. Detectives advance
the theory that he was klepto-
maniac and stole for the pleasure of
stealing, because he did not dispose
of his booty. His habits and actions.

was on his burglary excursions. In
composition. He had an aversion to
society. though he was passionately
fond of music and played a piano for
hours at time.
So successfully did Holfelner veil
his midnight role of burglar that the
family in whose house he roomed did
not suspect that he slipped from the
house to rob after they had gone to
bed They believed the student, who
habitually retired early with the ex-
cuse that he must study. was burning
the midnight oil over textbooks. None
of his friends had the slightest sus-
picion that the soft-spoken, shy stu
dent was the thief who baffied the
police and an army of amateur detec-
tives.

 MT. Coleman denied having made any of the statements to which Mir. Perry testified. When asked why he had not arrested the defendant on the spot MT.

Wire Control Repeal
 Bill Now Ready for

By AssooIated Press

Washington, June 27-The bill ending government control and operation of tele- graphs. telephones. cable and radio wires was made ready in Congress tonight for President Wilson's signature.

friends, it is his opinion that the confer ence has been a wonderful success. While it is regarded as disadvantageuos peace for Germany, yet against this 1t is held that Germany committed a great wrong and quite naturally and inevitably must make just reparation for that wrong.
 But outside of German results. the con- ference is viewed in presidential quarters as lberating peoples who never before had a chance of liberty, such as Poland Jugo-Slavia and 'Czecho-Slovaks Also the conference is credited with banding together the people of the world to.rnake the peace regime enduring.
 Other large results, it was pointed out are the giving of a charter to labor, re- moving restrictions of international inter- course and many other international re- suits which can be summed up as "a CO., lossal business, such as the world never dreamed of before."
 The peace treaty and the league of nations covenant should be ratified with-' out amendment, according to the presi- dential view, as it is understood, for cer- tain definite reasons, namely, that if any one power seeks to make amendments, then the war will not be over until every one of the 21 associated nations learns the results of the amendments
 MEANS HOPELESS DELAY
 This can only be done through pro- cesses of negotiation. and it is held that 1t would be a hopeless process of delay in restoring peace. It is also held that the effect of the amendments would be to keep the United States out of the treaty and out of the league.
 The question has arisen whether reser- vations amount to amendment, and presi- dential quarters are understood to hold that reservations. such as the proposed Root reservation to article 10 of the cove nant, are equivalent to amendment.
 Feeling is said to be particularly strong in presidential quarters against the resolution of Senator Fall of New Mexico, to declare a state of peace with Germany, which is characterized in these responsible quarters as having the effect ot allying the United States with Ger many and placing the country in a posi- tion of contempt that no nation ever suf- fered. It is the Presidents belief ac- cording to reliable sources, that not more
