Berlin Rejects
Apparel from France
fBx Associated Press

Berlin-Frieda and Gretchen are to
have no more Paris gowns. There are
to be no moreasmart little hats brought
to Germany from the fashionable mil
linery shops on the Place Vendome
and the Rue de la Paix.
These articles are not permitted to
cross the German boundary since the
French invasion of the Ruhr, and the
leaders of the German fashion indus
try have instructed their buyers that
French models are not to be bought
either directly or indirectly.
High prices in France had prevented
German firms from buying many
models. Consequently the importa-
tions of such fnery from France had
been inconsiderable as compared 10
pre-war times. But Berlin modistes
were slowly resuming their Paris trips
and buying limited quantities of late
creations, when the Ruhr trouble came
along and brought the general boycott
against articles made in France.
Baron Drecoll, managing editor of
one of Berlin's greatest fashion shops,
told the correspondent of The Assoc
C1dIGu ITeSS, EHdL IIlS ldGeSC pTO0l=.
bition will make little difference to
Berlin designers, as they have not re-
lied directly on Paris for their styles
since the beginning of the war and
have, to great extent, become crea-
tors of their own models.
"Of course, many of our ideas come
from Paris. 1t is foolish to deny that
Paris leads in the creation of models y
declared the Baron. "But Germany has
learned to develop Partisan suggestions
and adapt them. In many cases they
are greatly modified, as Partisan de-
signs are often too extreme for our
trade. The prohibition against the
importation of French goods will
affect modistes and milliners only in
two lines, silk and flowers. 1t is diff
fcult to replace certain French silks
and flowers"

NAB SALESMAN
ON WIFE'S CHARGE
Louis L. Lee, Lansing Sales
man, is Found Here and
Arrested.
HE LEFT HIS WIFE
Lansing Police Claim That Lee
Deserted His Wife After
a Quarrel at Their Home.

A new speed record in police cir
cles was established by Lieutenant
Charles Rock, of the detective depart
ment, on Monday when within fifteen
minutes he, found and arrested man
who was being sought all over the
country for wife desertion. The
gentleman in question was Louis L.
Lee, 45, dapper auto salesman from
Lansing, Michigan, who ducked out
Of the Michigan capitol city several
weeks ago after having a quarrel with
mis- wife.
Lee, who did not deny that he was
the man wanted and who waived ex-
tradition, declared that he had mere
ly had spat with his wife,. and
had left to give them both a chance
to cool off," He was turned over TO
Detective Frank Houghnagel of Lam
sing this morning and was taken i'm
medlately to the latter city.
Rock Gets Busy Fast.
The speed with which Lee was To-
Gated in Kenosha is real tribute to
the Kenosha police department. The
police department received a circular
letter stating that Lee was wanted
and giving a picture of him. 1t was
thought possible that he had come to
Kenosha.
Lieutenant Rock through files of
the factories found that such per.
son had been employed at the SIM
mons company for several months but
had recently quit his work there. The
officer happened to stop in cigar
store and thereto and behold-was
man who answered every descrip-
ton OF the Lansing authorities.
Never Denied Identity.
Lieutenant Rock pulled out of his
pocket the picture which had accom-
panied the request from Lansing He
looked at it and@ then looked at the
man; they were as much alike as two
peas In a pod. Finally he accosted
the man who admitted Immediately
that he was Louis L. Lee and who also
admitted that he might be wanted for
taking French leave of his wife. He
did not obpect. to be taken into Gus
tody and made no attempt to fight
extradition although advised of his
rights by police officials
While in Kenosha Lee had done
nothing which would in any way cast
suspicion on him. He had lived in a
home on Market street and until a
few days ago had been employed at
the Simmons company, where he had
been an efficient workman. He was of
q genial nature and had made many
friends in this city, all of whom were
very much surprised to learn of his

on Monday evening by those who have
known the young woman. 1t is re-
called that she has been four times un-
happily married; she was for a short
time the wife of Enri sRossi, now serv-
ing term in the Illinois state prison
for violation of the Mann act, this mar
riage having been annulIed at her re-
quest. Later she was married to Zavit
shortly after he returned from service
in France during the war. After g
year Zavit secured divorce, but with
in the year set by the court returned
to his wife and thus nullifed the ac-
ton. He claims tha@even after he had
forgiven her and attempted to start
over again, she had continued to seek
the company of other men and for that
reason he had started divorce action
again.
Gone to Pay Bill.
Several months ago Zavit had met
her on the street with another man AND
a quarrel had followed. Since that
time he had made his home at the
Fischer Hotel and had recently started
action for divorce. On Monday even
ing he had gone to the Johnson home
to pay bill owed for plumbing done
while he lived in the house. As he
was talking to Mrs. johnson over the
bill, his wife left, saying that she
would return within short time.
A half hour later she returned, en-
tering by the rear door. She stopped
in the kitchen a while and those in the
parlor of the home scented the smell
of carbolic acid. At that moment Mrs
Zavit came to the door with a glass
of the poison in her hand.
Quick Work Saves Life.
Goodbye, here goes!" she said as
she started to drink the poison.
Both Mrs johnson and Zavit jumped
towards her in an effort to Illustrate
her plans. She had drunk possibly q
third of the glassful of the poison
when they reached her and knocked the
rial from her hand. Mrs. Johnson gave
the woman some milk, this acting as
an emetic and probably saving her life
Zavit hurried from the house to sum
mon an ambulance. The police ambu-
lance answered the call and the woman
was hurried to the Kenosha hospital,
Feared Publicity of Suit.
Investigation revealed that the wom-
an has been in a state almost of hys-
terra for several days because of fear
that the details of the divorce suit
might become public. This is believed
to have preyed on her mind and ia
have made her irresponsible for hel
rash act. At the hospital today she
appeared to have repented Of the at
tempt to commit suicide and ready to
start life over.
The only intimation that she planned
suicide was given to a friend whom
she had called Monday evening when
she left the home, and who, it is said
will be named in the suit for divorce
when the papers are filed. In talking
to him she had declared that when
"news of the divorce was in the pa
pers she would not be here" He had
thought that she meant to leave Keno
sha.
Investigation failed to reveal how the
woman had secured possession of the
poison. 1t is believed that she may
have purchased it several weeks age
for some other purpose.

ated with the approval of the Third
International of Moscow, "as an in
strument of the illegal communist par
ty for participation in legal activi-
ties" according to evidence offered
today in the trial of William z. Foster,
charged with criminal syndicalism.
The evidence identified on cross
examination by Charles E. Ruthenberg,
one of Fosters co-defendants, was a
copy of the minutes of the presidum,
or governing body of the Moscow In
ternationale for it's meeting of Novem-
Der 10, 1921. Attached to it was an
original certificate, written in German
| and signed by Rakon, executive
secretary of the Russian Communist
Internationale.
Ruthenberg, who is Of German ex-
traction, translated the certificate from
the witness chair at the request of
Charles Gore, prosecutor of Berrien
county. His translation was:
Point 6-Report on the American
question. Decided: The report of Com
rade Karr is considered and its outline
is adopted. To unqualifiedly acknowl-
edge the presented theses a commits

Ruthenberg testifsa that Karr was
the alias used by L. E. Katterfeld of
New York. Katterfeld was last heard
from in Moscow three or four months

William Bross Lloyd and other Com
munists and when they were sent to
prison, Katterfeld was reported to have
sent word that he would return to
America to surrender but he never APP
peared, according to department of JUS
tice agents, attending the trial here.
That the Communists had no inten-
ton of actually becoming a legal or
ganization which is the contention of
the state, is indicated by document
from their secret files.

1t was pointed out that Daugherty,
if he is, as reported, at Atlantic City
could not be compelled to come here
to tell his story but the inspector de-
clared he would be glad to listen to
Daugherty's story.
Daugherty, who served for two years
with the British army before America
entered the war, and then became a
major in the American expeditionary
forces, was quoted by the newspaper as
saying that he knew Miss keenan, we'll
