Miss Wanda Urbatis, of Toledo
who has been held in connection
with the $S5, 900 Toledo mail rob
berry following tn ealleged con-
fession of the Rev. Anthony
Gorek, of New Chicago, Ind, in
which he declared the bonds were
given him by Miss Urbatis. The
bonds were intrusted to him, ac-
cording to Rev. Goreks alleged
confession in a chance meeting on
train near Englewood, a suburb
of Chicago, several weeks ago by
Miss Urbatis. She had been a
former parishioner OF his nj To-
ledo. Curiosity led the pastor to
open the package, according to the
alleged confession, and the desire
to aid his starving parishioners
caused him to attempt to gain
money from the bonds. The bonds
were traced to the pastor after at
tempts to sell some of the coupons
from them had been made in
Chicago.

Man Attempts
Life Because of
Death Prophecy
Prediction He Would Commit
Suicide at 50 Leads Scribner
Resident to Stab Self on
Train; Condition Serious.

Fremont, Neb., Aug. H.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)-Depressed with the
constant memory of a fortune tell
er's prophesy 20 years ago that when
he reached the age of so he would
commit suicide, if not already muir
dered, Fred Struvehaver, so of Serb
ner, stabbed himself 80 times with
a pocket knife in the attempt to take
his own life. Little hope is held
out for his life as some of the thrusts
are believed to have punctured his
lungs.
Struvehaver was a passenger on a
Northwestern train. AS the train
pulled out of Scribner, occupants of
the smoker saw the man plunge the
knife time and again into his body.
The train was halted and backed
to the station where the injured man
was rushed to physician. Cuts and
slashes in his throat were not con-
sidered dangerous. but the wounds
of the chest are believed to be fatal
When the attempted suicide was
questioned as to his motive for the
act, he explained that his mind was
controlled by hypnotic influence
for the last 20 years, since the for
tune teller made the prophecy that
he would either be murdered or take
his own life at the age of so.
If he survives, an investigation as
to his mental condition will be made.

tation to the government CT China
to participate at the conference in
the discussion of Pacific and far

The invitation, signed by the sec
retary of state, declares at the out
set that present vast public expen-
ditures by governments must be
greatly reduced to free productive

borne" 1t points out the futility OF
locking for Stability or the assur-
ance OF social justice. or the secur-

productive outlays deprive effort OF
its just reward and defeat the rea-
sonable expectation of progress.
Menace to World Peace.
The greatest encumbrance upon
enterprise and national prosperity,
the president says, is the enormous
expense of rival ornaments.
"Avoidable or extravagant ex-
pense of this nature" the powers
are told, "is not only without eco
nomic justification, but is constant
menace to the peace of the world
rather than an assurance OF its pres
ervation."
The president emphasizes that
there seems to be no ground lot
hating such expenditures unless the
powers can agree upon a "satistac-
tory basis" for their limitation and IN
his opinion, the time is now oppor-
tune for them to approach the sub

Discuss Submarines.
Although none of the new agen-
cies of warfare are mentioned in the

The deficit in 1919 was 24,500

had refused to give his assent to
a suggestion that the government
temporarily increase the civil list,
being unwilling to involve the pub

"I left instructions with c. G..
Stoll, examiner, to close the bank
if the consolidation move failed to
materialize. ..
Late last night I received tele-

consolidation had failed, so pre-

was any shortage. Just case OF a
bank getting too much slow paper

II do not believe that after the
