such a case.
A rational settlement Of the repara-

have established its authority through

WASHINGTON. May 7.-(By The
Associated Press "A situation aps
parently regarded as seriously men,
acing good relations between the
United tSates and the Peking gov
ernment, China, was. described to-
day by American Minister Schurman
the first official report to reach the
State Department regarding the cap
ture of American citizens by bandits
near the Shantung border.
The American minister is under
stood already to have made infor-
NAL representations on his own re-
sponsibility. and 1t is expected that
he will be instructed by the govern
ment here to pursue the most Wig
orous course to secure the release OF
the prisoners unharmed.
The report was prepared by Mr..
Schurman on the basis of informa-
ton furnished him by an American
citizen who was on the spot when
the bandits attacked the tourist
train on which many Americans
were riding. 1t was indicated that
so far as known none of those taken
prisoners had been harmed, and the
minister apparently was hopeful that
they all would be released.
Should any American lose his life
the State Department IS prepared to
make vigorous demands on the Pc
king authorities for restitution. Not
only will suitable apologies be re-
CURED but indemnity must be paid
and those responsible must be pun
ished if good relations between the
/ two governments are to continue

insist that more effective steps bs
taken in the future 20 protect tbs
Americans who are in China on le
Ultimate errands. Ths incident is re

the fact that it comes during negot

BRITISH NOTE
FOR GERMANY
Offer Made by Berlin Govern
ment is Not Approved by
the British

LONDON. May 7.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press )-Great Britain will
dispatch a note to Germany within
thirty-six hours expressing disap-
proVal OF the latest German repara-
ton proposals and urging Germany
to present more practical and lib
eral solution of the problem.
Replying in a joint note to the Ger
man offer of last week, the Ruhr
Allies point out that the sum of
thirty billion gold marks represents
less than one-fourth of the total
which both the reparation commits
sion and Germany recognized as the
amount of her debt. France and
Belgium advanced no proposals of
their own. restricting their reply to
categorical rejection of the Ger
man terms.
It is believed Great Britain's note,
made in reply TO the recent note
from Berlin, will have the general
support of the Italian government,
although Italy will probably send a
separate response TO the Wilhelms-
strasse.

The work of making temporary

WARRANTS FOR AGENT
WHO HAS SAILED OFF
TO EUROPE, REPORT
Charge of Absconding Made
Against KaIman Mindszen-
thy Whose Place is Closed
FOREIGN PEOPLE HIT
Say he Sold Steamship Tick
cts for Which He Never
RENTED

y state of excitement exists toda
among the foreign population of
this city due to the large sums of
money that have been lost through
the alleged absconding of Kalman,
Mindszenthy, proprietor of a steam
ship agency and foreign exchange at
16I Hall avenue. Mindszenthy dis
appeared on April "a and
has not been seen o. heard from
since. 1t is supposed that
Mindzenthy has sailed for Europe
as no trace of him has been found in
this country. With Mindszenthy, ac-
cording to Alexander Balint, attor-
ney for some of Mindszenthy's
clients, went large sums of money
Mindszenthy had taken from resi-
dents in this city to send to relatives
in Europe but which Mr.. Balint says
had never been dispatched.
According to Mr.. Balint, steamship
companies whom Mindszenthy rep
resented have found, that Mindszen-
thy sold a number of steamship
tickets for which he never remitted.
The tickets are however, good for
use by those who purchased them as
Mindszenthy' was the authorized rep
resentative for the various COM
panies. sss-
1t is understood that a Judgment
creditor has levied on the house
hold furniture, automobile, and store
fixtures. The furniture has been re.
moved from Mindszenthys home in
Sewaren and his wife is now stay
ing with the Rev. Stephen Csepke
in Tremley, it is said. 1t is also al
legged that before leaving this Sec
ton OF the country, Mindszenthy
had taken his automobile to the
Thompson Motor Company garage
in Pl<lfield and sold 1t.
Two warrants are out for Mind
saenthy's arrest charging him with
cmbezzlement. Ore Of the warrants
was sworn ou: by Jacob Horbus
who charges that in September he
gave Mindszenthy $500 to trans
init to Poland. The money never
reached its destination.
The other warrant is sworn out
by Joseph Kara. who charges that
on April 9, ne gave Mindszenthy
SS12 to se/d TO Czeho- -Slavakia. but
that the money never reached its
destination. Both of these cora
plsintants are represented by Mr..
Balint.
Another of those who have a
claim against Mindszenthy is Frank
kopf Mr.. Gamba's attorney. when
Miadszenthy opened his exchange
in this city, he was employed in
the Slavonic Bank at Wilkes
Barre. Pa. as head of the foreign
department. Mr.. Lowenkopf stated
Gomba loaned Mindszenthy $1,000
from an account he had in the
Wilkes-Barre bank.
On one of his visits here, before
giving up the position in the Wilkes
Barre institution so as to devote
his entire time to his local business.
he asked Gomba if he did not want
his account in the bank balanced.
Gomba, Mr.. Lowenkopf said. gave
him his bank book and later
found out that he had withdrawn
s1.500 from the account. He took
the matter up with Mindszenthy
and according to Mr.. Lowenkopf,
Mindszenthy gave Gomba "a check
for the amount. The check came
back marked mo good" and Gon1ba
then took the matter up with M.
Lowenkopf who stated today thai
the affair had about been settled
when Mindsbenthy disappeared.
