(By Associated Press Leased wirel

v
st. Louis, Mo.-Nine pouches of rep
lstered mail were obtained in a ho1d-up
of mail truck in the business district
here today. Police asserted it was the
boldest robbery in the city's history.
The mail was for delivery to large

planned the amount of money and valu-
ables obtained could not be ascertained
until the records of registry were
checked up.
Chief Postofice Inspector Reuter-
stated hurried check-up showed there
were 327 registered letters in the
pouches and indications were that their
values would not exceed $4,000.
AT Fourth and Pine streets, near the
sub-station, it was announced 4 dark
colored touring car drove alongside the
truck and five men jumped out. They
covered the chauffeur of the truck and
a messenger, both Of whom were armed
with shotguns, and compelled the mes
senger to get into the touring car. The
chauffeur of the mail truck then was
ordered to drive to an alley about four
blocks away. The messenger was re-
lieved of his keys and the cage door of
the truck was opened by the robbers.
The robbers threw the mail into the
touring car and after placing the mes
senger and the chauffeur into the cage
Of the truck, drove off. A negro, pass
ing by several minutes later, released
the messenger and chauffeur.

DIRECTORS ARRESTED
ARE HELD BLAMELESS

in Custody Not Responsible
for Shootings There.

Essen-Herr Shaffer, director gen.
eral of the Krupp plant, asserts that
the four directors arrested yesterday
on charges of melting last Saturdays

cited the men, could have been stopped
by the officials, even if they had not
ordered the signal Herr Shaffer said
that it is customary for the men
to blow the sirens "as a fire signal
or when there is sign of danger Of
any kind"
Herr Hartwig, Oesterlin, Ritter and
Bruhn, the directors held, were arrest
ed at their homes early Easter morn
ing. The Krupp plant is to be closed
at least until Wednesday, so that the
excitement occasioned by the events Of
the weekend may completely die down.

BLAME NATIONALISTS
FOR ESSEN SLAYINGS
Communist Paper Declares That TrOu-
bic at Krupp Plant Was Incited
by Agitators.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)

Essen = The Communist newspaper,
Rote Fahne, referring to the disturb
ance at the Krupp plant last Saturday,
which resulted in the death of nine
Germans and the wounding of 81 9TH
ers, says that for several weeks past,
the walls and workshops of the plants
had been covered with German ma
tionalist placards. The dispatch con-
tinues:
Immediately on learning of the ar
rival Of French troops at the works a
number Of nationalists melted the
workmen to resist and urged them
not to allow any soldier to leave the
plant alive. When members of the
workers council, who had been DELHI
Grating, left the conference hall they
found themselves in the presence Of a
compact crowd led by enraged nation
ais, including numerous students who
were shouting Down with France"
The Berlin newspaper correspondent
learned that the directors of the Krupp
works have sent a note to the French
divisional commander there protesting
against the shootings.
The communication charges that the
French detachment which visited the
works in search for automobiles "fred
on the defenseless crowd" after mem
bers Of the factory council had offered
to insure the soldiers safe conduct off
the property in view of the uncertain
temper Of the workmen.
Tho German correspondents tele-
graphed that the French were response
bic for the tragedy, asserting that the
military, apparently disconnected at the
number Of men called into the yard by
the blowing Of the siren, began firing.
President Ebert in a message to
Krupp officials speaks of the "mon-
strous blood-bath which French mill
tarism has introduced among peaceful
and defenseless workers." and con-
tinued:
"The French troops fired machine
guns upon workmen who only protest
ed peacefully without threats, against
forcible entry Of German workshops"

THINK WORKMAN
| DROPPED DEAD
Geo. Walkus, Found Dead
at Nash Plant, Not
Electrocuted.
HEART FAILURE CAUSE?

Thorough investigation of the sud
den death Of George Walkus, 25, the
Nash employee who was found dead at
his bench late Friday afternoon and
who was at first believed to have been
electrocated, strengthened today the
belief that he died a victim of heart
failure and rot Of electrocution. A
thorough inquest into the death is be-
ing carried on under the direction OF
Coroner Truman T.. Parker and though
no formal report has yet been fled,
1t has been stated informally that the
finding does not support the theory
that the man was electrocuted.
The young man had but recently
entered The employ Of the Nash com
pany, having come here from Sioux
City and accepted work as an oiler.
Found Dead at His Bench.
On Thursday afternoon he was
working astride a board; one of his
fellow workmen noticed that his head
had fallen forward and that he was
still. The latter rushed to Walkus'
aid; all efforts to revive the man were
futile. He was hurried to the emery
ency hospital where everything was
done to aid him but he was be-
yond human help.
The fact that one of his feet had
touched a casing of an electric motor
gave rise to belief that he might
have been electrocuted. Consequent
| ly pullmotor was called but it's use
also failed to bring any reaction.
| The remains were taken to the Han
sen Funeral Home on Park avenue
| where a post mortem examination was
being made this morning by Drs. Dob
bin, Richards and Gebhart att the or
der of the coroner to determine If
possible the exact cause of death.
Had Been Ill Previously.
In the pocket of the mans coat was
found a receipt from a Milwaukee doc
tor indicating that he had been i'll on
| ly short time ago. Coroner Parker
today was attempting to get into com
munication with this physician in an
effort to find out what had previously
been the cause of his illness. 1t may
be that the young man was subject
to attacks of heart failure.
There were no burns whatever on
the mans body such as would have
been caused had he been electrocuted.
This morning a thorough inspec-
tion was also being made of the ma
chinery near where the man was
found dead. At the direction of the
coroner it was not used until such an
inspection could be completed.
Came From Sioux City.
George Walkus came to Kenosha
from Sioux City several years ago
and had worked here for few months
at that time He had later returned
to the Iowa City and made his home
there up until three weeks ago when
he came back to Wisconsin. He was
good workman.
Arrangements for the funeral serv-
ices were not announced today due to
the fact that it was impossible to get
into communication with the mans
relatives in Iowa. Announcement re
garding them will be made later.

Pacific Highway. Oregon Asphaltic Concrete

! GENTLY resilient to absorb the shock of
heavy traffic impact and to maintain
contact with the subsoil,
The first asphaltic concrete pavement
in the East was laid with varying de-
grees of success on streets in Washing
ton, Pittsburgh, Newark and Buffalo.
Chicago, Omaha and Denver later found
it suitable to their wants. Chief En-
glneer Clifford PinclSney Of Manhattan
Borough, New York City, now uses as
phaltic concrete on Fifth Avenue, the
finest and most heavily travelled thor
oughfare IN the world and a street
traversed by $4,000 vehicles daily. The
New York City engineer also uses as
phaltic concrete for replacing street cuts
as the type is especially adaptable to
replacement because of its ready binding
with the surrounding pavement and be-
cause it enables the engineers to ex-
pedite their work and keep the street
open to traffic.
The base. or foundation, of asphaltic
concrete streets and country roads--Gor
Liz ~ ~ 10 INV l4i use III AuldA O1Sl4lSIS--
IS constructed of broken stone. gravel
and asphalt heavily rolled and COM
pacted to thickness of from 3 to
inches. The surface may be of asphaltic
concrete with somewhat finer aggre-
gate, or Of sheet asphalt, and having
total thickness Of ~ to 2 inches. Be-
cause of its resiliency under traffic, its
elasticity under temperature changes,
the protection from water and frost that
it affords the subsoil, its adaptabiilty to
any type of subgrade and to any cli-
matte condition and its record of long
service at low cost, more than eleven
million square yards of asphaltic concrete
pavement are now in use on the Pacific
Coast aIona.

Sheriff. Pabst, accompanied by Under
sheriff Knipfer visited the general
store of Louis Maltz, 322 Ounce street
corner of Sheridan road, Saturday af-
ternoon for the purpose of levying an
execution en- mis- goods. On their way
in the sheriff and undersheriff noticed
a peculiar and familiar object sitting
amiably in the Maltz window. 1t was
q copper still.
The still was new, very shiny and
wrapped around in loving embrace were
several long coils, also very familiar
The still had never been used for any
thing that was apparent from its new
ness and shinyness, but the sheriff was
piqued that it should sit there at all
and invite people to thoughts of mash
and other things:5
''Not My Goods, Ny Wife's."
When Sheriff Pabst informed Maltz
the store proprietor replied "You can't
touch anything in this store; it all
belongs to nay wife"
Cant we touch anything?" said the
sheriff
mot thing" returned Maltz again
eve can touch this" said the sheriff
and he put his fingers on the copper
object commonly known as STILL and it
was still. 1t was a picture such as is
known among artists as Still life"
At this moment Mrs. Maltz hurried
up Both Mr. MaItz and Mrs. Maltz
protested at the sheriff and under
sheriff touching the still life picture.
"That's merchandise" said Maltz,
'you can't touch that. That's merchan-
disc and belongs to my wife"
'"That," said Mrs. Maltz, sis some
thing to make jelly in"
wen take it anyhow" replied the
sheriff, "and see what happens"
Maltz Does Not Appear.
Sheriff Pabst when he tcok the still
under his wing last Saturday after
noon told Maltz that he should come
into the municipal court this morn
ing but up until noon the defendant
did not appear.
The sheriff had warrant for the
storekeeper charging him with posses
sion Of a still commonly used for the
distillation Of moonsbine liquor.
Were going out this afternoon to
bring Maltz in" the sheriff said at
noon when the defendant had not ap-
peared in court.
This will be the first time that a
still has been found on display and
the possessor brought into court.
