NAB PRlrST IN MAIL THEFT
Rev. Father Anthony Gorek of New
Chicago, Ind, Had Ss5, 900 Bonds
Stolen From Toledo, O.

Chicago, May 14.-Temptation in the
form of $4,000 in Liberty bonds
sought out Rev. Father Anthony Co
rex, head of an impoverished Roman
Catholic parish in New Chicago, Ind.
The priest, held as an accessory to
theft, told United States secret serv-
ice agents the dramatic story of how
he had fought losing battle with the
seductive bonds, and had finally sur
rendered. He had spent 81, 14O of the
money to pay the debts of his parish
and TO buy food for his jobless parish
toner's.
The secret service agents found the
bonds, amounting 10 $4,000. less just
the S1,140. where the priest said he
had hidden them.
On the information which he gave
Mrs. Wanda UrbOrtiS, former pa
rishioner, was arrested in Toledo. o..
1t is thought that her confession will
clear the S1,0O0,000 mail robbery in
the Ohio city in which the bonds were
stolen.

Chicago, May 14.-Giving it as his
deliberate judgment that the grain ex-
changes of the country will withdraw
from business and close rather. than
submit to the "intoIerable, unfair and
arbitrary features" of the Tincher bill
passed by the house of representatives,
President Joseph L. Griffin of the Chi

attack on the proposed legislation in
its present form as undemocratic, ar
hitrary and destructive to business. In
his statement he said:

the house, must pass the senate and
be signed by the President before it
becomes Il law. and | am confident
that neither the senate nor the Presi-
