President Harding is work

strike. May he settle it.

for three years. He is feeling
better. 1t seems he is the man
that wrote that Russo-German
agreement. Very able citizen,
Lenin.
Russia says, "Let us wipe all
debts out and get down to busi-
ness" That suggestion seems
to please Europe, except that
Europe wants Russia to pay
what she owes Europe.
"All debts" is usually taken
to mean United States claims.
One Russian offered an amend
ment that they first wipe out
all debts and then borrow more
from the United States.

Speyer, the banker, bought

But they know they can't

they can't buy that in.
This useful incident may con-

What about Lasker. one Of the
smartest business men in the
United States? He is serving
the nation for a salary less
than one-fifth the amount paid
some of his own employees and
sacrificing his business and
profits at the same time-and
glad to do it.

Thief Offers to Point Out
Places Looted in Last
Few Months.

"Dapper Joe" Lauzon, the con-
fessed jimmy thief, this afternoon
will pay a return visit to some of
the many apartment houses he
admits having entered in the last
few months.
Lauzon, with several detectives,
will tour the northwest section in
the hope that such tour will re-
fresh his memory and help the
police locate some of his rob-
berries.
Offers to Confess.
III / recognize any of the apart
ments I've robbed, I'll confess he
told detectives. Just take me
around"
The Jimmy thief has robbed so
many homes in Washington that he
declares he cannot remember them
all
Although he has been living under
conditions since his arrect that have
been a wide departure from his
former luxurious surroundings,
Lauzon is still in high spirits. When
he was being marched into the
central office handcuffed to Detec.
tive Lynn this morning, he seemed
as unconcerned as If he were free
man.
He told the detectives yesterday
evening that he has broke jail on
many occasions and that he will free
himself, IL confined. in two years.
The police of the First precinct are
taking no chances with him. In
addition to the regulation locks on

Paid Police, He Says.
During the severe grilling he was
given yesterday by the detectives
he said that he had paid $50 to a
Baltimore official for protection. He
fatty refused to give the name or
the official. 81 hate a squeeler'
he said. Even among thieves
there is honor"
Iauzon was a skillful robber. He
never handled anything that would
reveal his finger prints without the
use of handkerchief. His extern
siye operations in this and other
cities is proof of his skill in rob-
berry.
When Miss Virginia eBtty Car
roll was released yesterday she
asked permission to bid him good
by. His parting words were to
the effect that he would soon be
at liberty again.
Inspector Clifford l.. Grant, chief
of detectives, says an accompliCe
NAV be arrested soon. He would
not divulge the name of the sus-
pect.
For several hours yesterday Lau-
zon freely told the detectives OF
his exploits in various parts of the
country. He told of escaping from
policemen by sliding down drain
pipes and hiding in sewers. At
times he spent several hours in
hiding.
1t was stated this morning that
Captain McGovern, head of the
Baltimore detective bureau, intends
to send a detective here to ques-
ton Lauzon about his bribery
charges.
Accuses Chicago Police.
Not only did Lauzon declare that
he had paid Baltimore policemen for
protection while he was operating as
jimmy thief, stealing approx
mately $250,000 in gems in the Capt
tai. but he said that he had paid a
Chicago policeman $500 to watch a
house while he cracked a safe.

be made there today. The tender
