Paris, June 14.-(By The A. P.) Sena- tor Duplantier put before the French senate today an interpolation on what measures the French government intends to take concerning execution of the treaty of Versailles relative to bringing William HohenzoNern, ex-kaiser of Ger many, to trial for his crimes against hu- manity."s The senator asked that a date for discussion of his interpellation he fixed immediately.
 Amid 8 tremendous tumult Alexandre Bernard, who was presiding over the sem ate owing to the illness of Leon Bour- geois, the senate's president, urged that a date for the interpolation could not be decided until Premier Briand, who did not attend the session, was present. Senator Dutlantier's demand for the interpolation caused a sensation in the senate. The upper chamber was in such an uproar as has never been seen in if since the Caillaux trial, many senators enodrsfng the demand and o@ers oppos. ing it on the ground that more sertaus l business was on hand M Duplantier ex. pressed surprise that Premier Brian6 | was absent; saying he had informed him of his desire to interpellate on Sun 1 day ast, when he heard about the scandalous judgments being rendered h, l the Leipsic court" trying war criminals

WHERE WAS TRICK RESIDENT
 AT TIME OF HIS DEATH

New York, June 14.-Surrogate Foley today reserved decision after hearing ar- guments on the question of whether Henry c. Prick, t-miuionaire, was a resident of this state or Pennsylvania at the time of his death. If adjudged New Yorker, the steel magnate,s es- tate will be subject to heavy state in- heritance tax.
 The state contended that the erection by MT. Prick of a $4,0oo,o 900 mansion here and his plans for placing in it a great art collection was evidence that he intended to make his permanent homo here, even though he maintained a more modest domicile in Pittsburgh It was conceded that MT. Prick had been of the honest opinion that he was resi- dent of Pennsylvania.
 Counsel for the Prick executors de- clared a person had right to elect his own domicile and that the steel man, despite his New@Xofk mansion and sum mer residence in Massachusetts, always had been loyal to Pennsylvania. The de | fense asserted New York must prove MT 1 Prick had declared an intention of aban- doning his old home in Pittsburgh. Il was announced diaries belonging to Mir Tricks daughter would be presented tc show that he never had relinquished hi; Pennsylvania citizenship.

DARING HoLD-UP IN THE MOUNTAINS NEAR NEWARK

Newton, N. J., June 14.-One man waa killed and two others kept bound to a tree for several hours in the mountains in a daring hold-up today by six masked men who succeeded in getting away with an automobile truckload of silk valued at S2O,O0O. The hold-up occurred at Cat Swamp, seven miles from here.
 The man shot and killed was Charles Kosta,. aged 35 years, an engineer of Andover.
 He was on his way to work, on his mo- torcycle, and the highwaymen, not want ing him to spread the alarm, ordered him to stop. Instead he put on speed and tried to pass them. The bandits opened fire, two bullets piercing Kota's chest and another striking him in the shoulder. He fell from the motorcycle dead.
 The motor truck, manned by Claude Resh, driver, and Charles Mann, his helper, was rounding curve in the road when six men, all armed and wearing handkerchiefs over their faces, jumped out from the roadside.
 Get off the truck, and be quick abou it. both of you" the bandits leader call ed to them.
 They did so promptly. Four of thu bandits then started to lead them t' some bushes just off the road.
 Resh and Mann were taken back som distance from the road and bound han' and foot to trees. Four of the highway men remained guard over them while th | other two sped off with the truck. Resh and Mann managed to free them selves from their bonds after more thal an hours effort. They walked to tn nearest house and gave the alarm by tel ephone. Deputy sheriffs were immediate ly sent outu to try and locate the high waymen and the trek, but neither Res nor Mann was able to give them a goo
 description of them.

STRAINED RELATIONS BETWEEN
 SOVIET RUSSIA AND LETVIA

Riga, June 14-(By The A. P.) The relations between Soviet Russia and Let via appear to be becoming more strained daily through what the Let's term the interference of M. Ganetsky, the Soviet minister to Letvia, in Lettish affairs. No
 present military aggression is feared,
 however, Lettish officials say.
 M. Ganetsky on Wednesday threaten
 ed to withdraw the legation to Moscow,
 but it still is here, and it is reported Ganetszy himself is to be replaced soon. The crux of the matter, according to the Lettish officials, is the fact that dam
 gerous communists, when caught, imme- diately claim they desire to be Russian citizens under the provisions of the
 peace treaty between Russia and Letvia, which give option as to citizenship. The bolshevik legation then intercedes, the Let's declare, and tries to secure the release of the communists.
 Nine members of an alleged communist fighting organization were courtmaGtiai-
 ed and executed here on Friday last sim ultaneously and there is dispute over the deportation of 97 alleged .underisa- | bles to the Russian frontier. The Rus | sian legation here charges this was a violation of the treaty, as R1sya's per- | mission had not been secured.
