Halted by Arrest Of
Greek, N. Y. Promoter

New York, Sept. l5.--With the ar
rest today OF George d. Pterotis,
another prosperous fimfam game
crashed to the ground. He was ar
rested on indictments charging him
with being the head of an interna-
;ional swindling scheme which
earned its profits by forging bills
of lading. Three others were taken
into custody shortly after the arrest
of Pterotis.
Letters of credit were established
with New York banks through
agents that the young man had in
Greece. Thereafter the corporation
which he organized quoted sugar
and coffee prices to merchants in
Greece and received a great many
orders. Shipments of three or four
bags of sugar and coffee were sent
and the bills of lading changed.
These bills were recognized by New
York banks without a question.
Pterotis is charged with the theft
by forgery of $250,000. 1t is said
that this does not represent by half
the total haul made by the forgers.
Indictments were returned on Sep
tember 3 charging seven men with
forgery.

An unidentified man made an at
tempt 10 assault nurse at Clarkson
Memorial hospital, Twenty-hrst
street and Dewey avenue, at II a.
m. yesterday. .-.r
The name of the nurse is withheld
for obvious reasons by the hospital
authorities. She lies at the hospital
in a serious condition, suffering
nervous collapse.
The nurse was sleeping in her
room in the nurses home. The cur
tains had been drawn and the room
darkened to aid her in sleep. The
home is just east Of the hospital.
Bound and Gagged.
She was awakened when the side
screen window was lifted by knife
and man leaped into the room.
He seized her about the throat and
Kissed into her ear that if she
screamed he'd kill her.
Then with a rope he had taken
with him, he bound her hands and
feet and gagged her.
While he was tying her feet, she
spit out the gag and screamed.
Found in Mysteries.
The man fed.
Her continued screams attracted
other nurses in the home and they
found her in Mysteries.
The case was reported to police
and two detectives were assigned to
investigate, but they were refused
the name of the girl by the hospital
authorities. -.s
The moron failed in his attempt,
the hospital authorities say. De-
spite the blind clews with which po-
lice are working, they hope to make
an arrest soon. :

Labor Demand Is

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Sept. Unemployment
agencies, which practically went out
of business during the war, when
any sort of laborer could pick hsi
own job and name his hours and
salary, are now flooded with ap-
plications for positions.
They say there is marked falling
off in the demand for labor, both
skilled and unskilled and that the
supply now far exceeds the demand.
Everywhere there is a tendency
on the part of the public to dis
pense with 1uxuries and many ne
cessities, under the hope that re-
adjustment is at hand and prices
of everything will take decided
drop. Merchants also are buying in
limited quantities and manufacturers
report many cancellations of orders.
AS a result, large numbers of men
rae being laid off in factories and
stors uentil conditions improve.
There also has been flood of men
drifting in from the east, seeking
employment. There is very little
building and Contractors say thye
do not care to undertake any work
at the present prices of materials and
lbaor, and the danger of daily
strikes.
Railroads have issued orders can
ceiling any further movement of
track laborrs, cts. to points west of
the Mississippi, where formerly they
flowed in an endless stream. En-,
ployment agencies say the average
number of men they are now able
to place is reduced to one-fifth OF
the number placed year ago.

Missouri Hver
Council Bluffs Hospital Pa
tient Eludes Nurse and
Jumps to Death From
Douglas Street Bridge.

L. G. Bridenbaugh, so, retired
banker of Coleridge, Neb, leaped to
his death yesterday afternoon from
the Douglas Street bridge into the
Missouri river.
Mr.. Bridenbaugh, who had been
confined at the St. Bernards hos
pital in Council Bluffs for the past
two months, is thought to have suf-
tered a relapse and escaped from
his nurse, Miss Nancy Fogg. The
nurse and Oscar Fleming, a hospi-
tai attendant, had taken Mr.. Briden-
baugh and another patient to an
Omaha theater.
The body of the suicide victim
has not been recovered.
How the man escaped from his
nurse has not been learned. Author
:ties at St. Bernards hospital had
not learned of Mr.. Bridenbaugh's S
death until Omaha detectives in
formed them.
Identify Victim By Letter.
Identification of the victim was
made through a letter addressed to
DR.. Frank T. Seybert found in a
coat left on the railing of the bridge
by the suicide victim before he
climbed to water barrel and took
the fatal leap.
Mrs. E. L. Mcclure, 1906 Fourth
avenue, and Mrs. w. E. Muhpry,
2l00 Avenue A, both Of Council
Bluffs, saw the man leap from the
bridge as they were crossing i'll
an automobile. Mrs. Mcclure
screamed. The man turned his
head, shouted. Il ain going" and
hurled himself into the water.
Women Report Suicide.
The two women sped to Central
police station and reported the af-
fair. R. Allen, tollman. 1924 Ave-
nue. B, Council Bluffs. saw the man
climb to the railing, but too late to
prevent him from taking the leap,
he said.
Mr.. Bridenbaugh had recovered
sufficiently to be released from St.
Bernards hospital, Council Bluffs,
within two more weeks, DR.. Frank
T. Seybert of Council Bluffs. who
had been attending the aged man,
told Detectives Trapp and Wavrin.
Overwork caused his demented con-
dition, Dr. Seybert said.
His widow and three children sur
vive him, all living at Coleridge,
