So. America Bold
Offender BObs Up

London, May "a. p. by MaiD-
Information has reached London
from Johannesburg Of the arrest of
Carl Ludwig Won Veltheim. 1t is
said that South Africa wants to get
rid of him and that he is to be de-
ported.
Nothing has been heard from Won
Veltheim since 1918. but none of
those who are familiar with his
career are surprised that he has
turned up again. There has been
enough crime. adventure and
romance in his life to provide
material for dozen exciting works
of fiction. He is pre- emnently cut
out for an adventurer. Had he liv
cd in an earlier time he might have
been a very successful bandit or
pirate or revolutionist He is built
on a big scale and is we'll equipped
with brains, audacity and courage,
and has not been a bit squeamish
about ways and means.
Won Ncltheim is six feet four
inches in height and strikingly
handsome man. A previous marriage
never stopped him from marrying
another woman, nor when he was
hard up did lie hesitate to run very
serious financial risks to raise the
cash he needed. He was born in
Brunswick &C years ago and started
out as a sailor. but he found that
life on the ocean was too menotonous
to suit his tastes. He abandoned the
sea by the simple and summary pro-
| cess of dcrserting his ship, and took
| to the land.
Carl Ludwig first came into the
| limelight of publicity on an interna
! tional scale by shooting Woolf Joel
a nephew of the famous Barney Bar
nato, at Johannesburg in 1898. II
was after he had called at Joel's
| office and demanded money Of him
which Joel refused. When charged
| with the murder he secured acquitta
on the plea of self defense.
But. easy money" had now OBJ
tanned a fatal attraction for Nor
! Neithcim. Some years later he called
at Solomon Barnato Jocl's Office ir
London and threatened to do for Mr.
Joel unless he handed over $4,000
London is the worst place in the
world to raise money in that way
and Won Nelthcim was sentenced t
20 years penal servitude.
| Public opinion generally con
! dcmned the sentence as too severe
and Won Ncltheim was released afte'
serving Is years and interned as al
enemy alien. In 1918 he wa:
repatriatcd TO Germany and from
there made his way again to Soutl
Africa.

THE MINE ACCIDENT

The mine accident of yesterday morning is one of the hazards of the business. Regrettable as it was, it is impossible not to reflect in the connection that great progress in safeguarding human life has been achieved in recent years, and that there is disposition to gain by each experience new knowledge of how still further to protect wo14Smen against injury and death.

Yet an in telligent generation learns by it's set backs. The only way in which the late accident may be repaired is by taking such measures as will reduce to the minimum the chances of it's repetition, either in the mine con- cerned or in any other.
