Neat, the Gun Girl


CLEVELAND TRUST COMPANY is
- training its employees in handling pis-
tolls, and The Press Of that city presents
the idea thus:
The pretty stenogs grab their guns
upon the approach Of n bandit climb
around in lee of filing cases and office
furniture and start firing"
1t might work. occasionally. AT this dis
lance, we have no objection to seeing il
tried. But some possible embarrassments
will likely arise. Suppose, for instance,
that non-bandit Clevelander who looks
like a bandit-and Cleveland has EN- in
plenty-approach Do the stenogs blaze
away at him? Again, isn't it customary
for the bandit to reveal himself only after
stenogs haven't time to duck into filing
cases or dive under the furniture? Also,
suppose that the bandit puts his gun UP
against presidents, directors or a
cashiers stomach, first thing. Do the
stenogs begin firing, at risk of the imme-
date puncturing of said stomach?
All this is said without intent TO dis
courage the Cleveland Trust company. The
mere announcement that bevy of pretty
stenogs will begin firing ought to be
terrible warning to the most reckless
bandit

CONFESSION OF BURGLAR
MAY FREE ACCUSED MAN
Says Woman Died of Fright-Hus-
band Was Convicted of
Her Murder.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 6.-The judge
who sentenced Harry Friendlich, con-
victed of killing his wife, to serve
from ten to twenty years in Sing
Sing, is considering an anonymous
letter sent to a newspaper and pur-
porting to be the confession from a
conscience stricken burglar that the
woman died of fright.
The conviction was based largely
on the testimony of F'riendlich'S s
nine-year- son. who said that soon
after the father left the house one
morning he found his mother dead
in bed with a ceiling gas jet torn
from it's place and the room full of
fumes. Mrs. Friendlich's lungs con-
tanned no gas, but there were marks
on her throat, doctors testified.
The writer Of the letter said he had
been out of work and had determined
to get money by holding up some
woman whose husband had just gone
to work. Seeing Mr.. Friendlich leave
the house, he, entered the bedroom
by the fire escape window and found
her asleep with the baby beside her.
Il touched the woman's face" the
letter reads, then she turned around
and looked so terror stricken. Oh,
what a scared face. / can still see
it today. AS l stood half bent over
her she suddenly reached out for my
my face and quickly Strengthened
out, reaching out instinctively for
the ceiling and somehow l had the
gas chandelier in my hand loose and
l was afraid the woman might
scream and 1 hurriedly left the same
way l came in

GERMANS DEFEND RAID.
Refuse to Accept Reproach of vio-
lating Treaty.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 6.-The German gov
ernment's reply to the protest of the
Russian ambassador, NJ. Krestinsky,
over the raid on the Russian trade
delegations offices here, declares
Germany cannot accept the reproach
of disregarding existing treaties.
The Russian note, the reply says,
fails to furnish any concrete evidence
of the alleged untrustworthiness by
the German officials in the case. he
German government has always
striven to facilitate the labors of the
Russian delegation regarding the
question of extraterritoriality, the re-
ply points out, and that the German
note of March 81, which set forth the
German view in detail, was not con-
tradicted by the Russian delegation.
In the circumstances, therefore,
Germany cannot accept the Russian
reproach of disregarding treaties, and
cannot admit illegality of seeking to
arrest representatives of the delega-
ticn.

CANADA TO BE APPELLANT

Dominion Government Protests
Right of Chicago Sanitary Com
mission to Divert Great Lakes.
By TIE Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, May 6.-Canada will
take an active part in the appeal to
be taken to the higher United States
courts in the matter of the right of
the sanitary commission of Chicago
to divert the Great Lakes waterways.
This became known yesterday with
the tabling in the House of Commons
by Premier King of correspondence
between Ottawa and Washington.
The correspondence shows that the
Canada protest against the diversion
began in 1922, when the Duke of
Connaught, then governor general,
enlisted the help of the British am
bassador, the late James Bryce, in
presenting Canada's case. A special
committee of the United States Sen
ate investigated
Secretary Of War Stimson found
against the Chicago claim, and, and the
United States court later upheld the
government ruling.
1t has been announced that an ap-
peal soon is to be taken to the Su-
preme Court, and Canada will be rep

Elsie Ferguson
Weds Her Villain
In Latest PLAYS
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 6.-Elsie Fergu-
son, beauty of the stage and screen,
is a bride for the third time. She
was married yesterday to her most
recent stage villain. Frederick Wor-
lock, an English actor.
The ceremony was at her Long
Island country home.
Miss Ferguson was divorced from
Thomas B. Clarke, jr., vice president
of the Hartman National Bank, in
Paris, last summer. They were mar
ried in 1916
Mr.. Worlock played in 1922 in the
cast of The Wheel of Life" in which
Miss Ferguson starred. Rumors of
an engagement, however, did not take
definite form until Miss Ferguson
played the leading role of THE Moon
flower" with Mr.. Worlock as her
villain. At the time he was spoken
of as an impressive and seemingly
dangerous" amorous villain.
Miss Ferguson's first husband was
Fred Hoey, son of a former president
of a large express company.
