FORMER SAILOR HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE
IN RUECKERT CASE
Continued From Fist Pase.)

At that address the name Berger is
not known.
Checking up the alibi submitted by
Schlager is the work that eflRrossed
tho police most of to-day. The pris-
oner has given the names of several
persons he claims to have talked with
at the time of the murder. These
persons are being rounded up and
questioned. b.
SchIager who is twenty seven years
old, lived at No. 225 Garden Street
with his wife. She was in court to-
day when he was arraigned. but
slipped out as soon as the case was
closed. She arranged to-day TO move
away from the Garden Street house.
Inspector Kiely said he was sure
the police would have enough evil
dence against Schlager 10y Thursday
to cause him to be held for the action
Of the Grand Jury.
Mrs. LeOnora Kohler Richter. wife
Of the most intimate friend OF Rueck-
ert, told an Evening World reporter
to-day that she had heard that Miss
Mae Trask OF thij city went to st.
Mary's Hospital, Hoboken, the day
before Rueckert died TO marry him
on his deathbed.
According tc Rueckert's own state
ments to several persons. he was en-
gagged TO marry Miss Clara Vorratb
OF Hobokon. who visited him in the
hospital and was with him till he
died and appeared at his funeral In
deep mourning.
Mrs. Richter further stated that
she was sure Miss Trask, to whom
she had been introduced by Rueckert
himself, visited the hospital the day
before he died but was unable to get
into his room, although she knocked
repeatedly at the door. This state
ment by Mrs. Richter bears out the
declaration by Miss Trask that she
went to the hospital that day.
The engagement OF Rueckert and
Miss Vorrath was verified by Mrs.
Richter, but she added that at one
time 1t was broken on.
"A woman came between them,"
she said. II don't know who this
woman was, but the break worried
Rueckert very much. He went re-
peatedly to Miss Vorrath and tried
to patch the affair up but she re-
fused. Later Fritz went TO Germany
| for two months and when he came
back in January he succeeded IN
settling all the differences with her
and they became engaged again"

their little jokes, too. But the rush
and crush told you that the Island

Johns absence did make q big diff

stood and soda water fountains play

a bargain sale. There were hot dogs,

were there not. Maybe II was too

holding them back is the stern finger
OF the law. Inspector Joseph Conboy

evening Worlu.l
WASHINGTON, May l7.-CCopy-
right ls2o).-Burope Is getting down
to brass tacks. or rather. economic
sense. in overcoming the sentimental
ism which has kept tho Allied world
from recognizing that until the
amount Of the German indemnity was
fixed and ways were discovered Of
assisting Germany to pay tho same,
reconstruction would be held back in
definitely.
That is tho Interpretation which
our officials put upon tho latest con-
ferences between the Allied Premiers
prior TO the conference with the Ger
mans at Spa. But It must be said
at the outset that whatever views arc
Expressed at the Treasury Depart
ment, where the writer made several
inquiries to-day concerning tho mo
mentous decisions being mado in the
European conferences. are based en-
tirely upon reading of the morning
newspapers. Significant, and, indeed
regrettably. the United States Gov
ernment doesn't know .. thing about
what is going on in those important
financial conferences which indirectly
relate to the whole economic future
OF the United States, the value OF its
bond and securities and the opportu-
mites for foreign trade.
COMPELLED TO SETTLE WITH
OUT REGARD TO v. s.
Treasury officials said It was an IN
fortunate confirmation Of what they
had been saying right along-namely.
that Europe was being compelled to
settle the worlds financial affairs
without having the oeneflt OF Amer
ica's advice or suggestions.
''Whfie II is true" said one OF the
Treasury oHicials. "that the United
States need not accept the settlement
when It is made. we will hardly be
able to raise much OF a clamor when
indeed we rejected the opportunity
offered TO us TO become q member Of
the League OF Nations and be renre-
sented in these important confer
encea"
To be Sure, our officials take with
grain Of salt some OF the cablegrans
which imply that a now principle Of
payment of interallied war debts Is
10 be introduced. For instance, one
press despatch declares that France
will not be obliged TO pay England
what she owes the latter until the
Germans make their payments on the
war indemnity. This might conceiv-
ably be extended to apply to indebt-
edness to America, thus making the
United States wait for German pay
ments before England or France
pay US.
But Treasury officials say this il
absurd. They declare that there "a
absolutely no relationship between
reparation and indebtedness. They
recognize that payments of German
reparation money might accelerate
the payment in inter- allied debts and
insist that the reparation money was
never intended to pay the bills of the
war itself, but rather to rehabilltate
France and Belgium and England and
assist in the. domestic situation of
each.
