Convict Retains Memory
After Brain Operation
Prisoner Examines Rough.
Edged Bullet Which He Had
Corr;ed in Skull Two Years

E, OSSINING, March 30.-Roman Leon
dowski. the patient in Sing Sing hos
pltal from whose brain a bullet was
removed yesterday to cure him of IN
sanity. will recover, physicians attached
to the prison staff announced here TO-
day.
While the physicians were visiting
Leondowski an incident occurred in
his ward which assured them that the
memory of the patient has not been
affected by the operation.
James Bracket, an inmate nurse who
has been recently transferred from
Clinton prison to Sing Sing, was as
signed to the case. He had not seen
Leondowski for more than two years,
when they were both prisoners at Cli1-
ton. Leondowski scrutinized Bracket
with puzzled look and then exclaimed:
Hello Bracket. How did you get out
of Clinton?"
Leondowski demanded all the details
of his operation. When told that the
doctor who had operated on him was
an invalid he inquired after his health:
He also demanded to see the bullet, and
was greatly interested in the rough
edged half-inch piece of metal which
he had carried in the motor area OF lis
brain for more than two years.
DR.. Amos Squire, head physician and
psychiatrist of Sing Sing, and his as
sistant, DR.. Abraham Kosseff, reported
that, so far as developments indicated,
the operation was complete success.

American Thieves Trust in
Offer of Prisoner

LONDON, March 3O.-A man named
Bloch has been arrested in Berlin, says
dispatch to The London Times from
the German capital, on the charge of
having offered to sell to the represen-
tative of Charles NJ. Schwab in Berlin

is reported was stolen from the resi-
dence of Mr. Schwab in New York.
The dispatch adds that the German

had succeeded in tracking down "a
German American trust of thieves"
1t was reported in New York last
December that seaman from the
steamship Mongolia and a man who
formerly was an assistant to the butler
in the home of Mr.. Schwab had been
arrested on the arrival here of the
Mongolia following receipt of informa-
tion from Berlin of the recovery of a
humidor declared to have been stolen

humidor, a golden one, was said to
have been presented to Mr.. Schwab by

u. S. Welcome
To Aid Ireland.
Says Britain
Will Raise No Objection to
Relief Measures as Long
as They Are Non-Political.
Asserts EmbassyStatement
Questions the Necessity
Denies Food Shortage and
Says Millions England Has
Raised Have Been Scorned

WASHINGTON, March so (By The
Associated ss).-~Charitable oreani-
cations constituted on "a strictly non
political basis" in this country which
desire to deal "in an impartial spirit
with any case of Irish distress" will
find no unnecessary DIFFICULTIES in their
way, the British Emuassy said in a
communication on the subject made
public tonight.
We're 1t not for the fact that coun-
ties and cities of Ireland which are
Sim Fein in sympathy refuse to ac-
cept money raised for their assistance
IN the United Kingdom and prefer to
appeal to America for charity, the COM
munication added, there is no case of
distress affecting any individual or his
property which "could not be adequate
ly met from British sources"
Embassy Gives Facts"
The communication in full follows:
Widespread misapprehension an
pears to exist in regard to the necessity
of raising funds from American
sources for relief work in Ireland. and
1t may consequently be helpful to per-
sons genuinely anxious to- engage in
phllanthropic work if they are made
acquainted with the following facts.
Banking and trade statistics and tax
returns show that Ireland as a whole
has never been more prosperous than
at the present time. Cases of unem-
ployment exist as a result of the
Worldwide depression in trade, but this
depression has been less severely felt
IN Ireland than in England, owing to
the fact that Ireland is largely an agri-
cultural country
Apart from these cases of genuine
unemployment common to all coun-
tries at the present moment and apart
IRON the unhappy but normal poverty
| Of the slums of towns, everv case of
distress and destitution is directlv duo
to the effects of the Sim Fein rebel
| lion.
Steps have been taken to meet even
these cases. Millions of pounds have
pee made available from money raised
by taxation in the United Kingdom to
oulld houses, to encourage land settle
Ments and to promote employment
schemes and the general work of re-
CO ;truction, but the countries and
cities of Ireland which are Sim Fain
in sympathy refuse to accent this
mo ley and prefer to appeal to America
for charity.
No Food Shortage
"Were it not for this attitude there
is is. no case of distress affecting any in
dlvidual or his property which could
not be adequately met, from British
SOURCES. Particularly 1t should be EN- :
phasfzed that there is no shortage Of
| food in Ireland
AS regards the schemes cn foot in
this country to raise money for the
relief of distress in Ireland the Brit
lsh government, while not agreeing
that there is any need for American
charity in Ireland, will place no un-
necessary difficulties in the way of anv
charitable organization which is con-
stituted on strictly non political
basis and deals in an mpartial.spirit
with any ease Of Irish distress brought
before IT,"
New-York tribune., 1921-03-31

at the end Of the session the Presi-
dents face is drawn and his physical
endurance taxed to the utnaet.
1t is not the small groups sponsored
by. Senators and Representatives which
take so much toll from the Chief Exec.
!utiive's strength. White House attaches
believe that with the advent of the new
President barkers for "rubberncck'
wagons promise a handshake with the
PRESIDENT as one of their chief attrac.
tions: They dump scores of people in
dlscriminately at the various White
House gates on the days when the
President is accessible, telling tourists
that everything has been arranged fo,
their reception.
Great care is exercised by the police
men stationed at the entrance to the
Executive Offices that no delegations
shall intrude without an official spon.
sor. yet in the jam caused by hundreds
of members Of bona fde delegations
waiting to enter it is extremely diff.
cult to make distinctions.
At all events, an endurance contest
has developed. 1t is highly probable
that unless the flow Of handshakers is
considerably thinned out the custom
Will of necessity be abandoned.
