MONEY MACHINE men
UNDER ARREST HERE

Detectives Gutowski and Muska
this afternoon apprehended David
Friedman, forty-two, and Ed Berger,
fifty, of New York, in connection

assistance of Captain Long.
Gutowski and Muska took their
men and the machine to headquar-
ters and after they were printed by
Detective Murray the prints were
taken to New York by Captain Long

work. 1t Is expected that the men
will be connected with other big
jobs throughout the East.

Frame Building Gutted in Car
son Avenue Early This
Neutrality-suspicious. Flee
BLAZE Is CHECKED
Detectives Find 5 Children in
Burning Room of Pulaski
Avenue House

Eleven occupants of a one story
frame building on Carson avenue
were forced into the cold early this
morning when their home was
threatened by a fire which Quilted
one story building few feet away,
and five young children in a Pulaski
avenue home were saved from being
burned by the quick work of local
detectives and neighbors in another
fire last evening.
Families Aroused
While looking out of his window
Andrew Peterson, of Carson avenue,
discovered the fire in the building
at 623 Carson avenue, and other
neighbors who were attracted to the
scene assisted in notifying the eleven
occupants of the structure at 621
Carson avenue. 1t was feared the
fire would spread to the adjoining
building.
Louis Olpansli, who lives at 621
Carson avenue with his wife and four
children, owns the building at 623
Carson avenue, formerly used as a
home and now being made into a
store. Fixtures and furniture be-
longing to John Waslosli who had
planned to open a butcher and gro-
Gerry store there were destroyed in
the fire. Wasloski recently moved
from the corner of Brace and Cleve-
land avenues, and he. his wife and
four children were living with the
Olpanski's for the present.
The fire apparently started In the
front part of the building which was
gutted, and the entire structure is
damaged to the extent of $1,000.
Lieutenant John e. Morris was pre-
pared to turn in an alarm at head
quarters, having received call to do
so, when the alarm was sounded
from 425 at Hommann avenue and
Harrington street. Patrolman Mike
Burke made the report on the blaze.
Neighbors took in the scant!ly clad
occupants of the home at 621 Carson
avenue.
The burned building has not been
occupied in five months and insur-
ance is carried by Olpanski. Car
penters have been working on the
renovation for some time, consider
the fire.
Children Alone
While Detectives Muska and Gut
owski were going along outer State
street yesterday evening, they were
attracted by a call of fire. Hurrying
to 1S6 Pulaski avenue, they found
five children, ranging N age from
three to eleven, in a room where a
curtain was blazing away.
The detectives tore down the burn
ing curtain and the children were
placed in the hands of neighbors. 1t
Is said that the mother, Mary Banyn-
ski, works daily in a cigar factory
and the husband is in an insane
asylum. The fire is alleged to have
been caused by the three year old
child lighting stick of wood and
then going to the window with 1t.

BRITISH NOTE
WAS 'LOG|CAL"
Winston churchiII's State
ment '0bvious," Is View
of Washington Today
NO FURTHER COMMENT
Expression Made After Mellon
Holds Conference with
Treasury Officials

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE
treasury has accepted the statement
OF winston Churchill, chancellor OF
the British excheQuer yesterday on
allied DEBTS, as "obvious and logical
and has no intention OF making any
further comment.
This ol1icIal expression was made
today after a conference between
Secretary Mellon, Under-Secretary
Winston and Assistant Secretary
Wadsworth at the treasury.
Treasury officials would not inter-
pret their conclusions that Chan
cellor Churchill was making a .'logi-
cal" statement when he declared
that Great Britain would expect its
debtors in Europe to make no pay
ments to the United States which are
not matched by equal payments to
the British government.
1t is taken for granted that the
chancellor was talking about France,
which has unsettled war debts, both
to the United States and to Great
Britain. Recently discussions were
begun here looking to a possible
Amer ican- french funding arrange
ment. but 1t has been emphasized
that these exchanges have not yet
reached the stage described in di-
plomacy as constituting actual nego-
tiations.
No one here will predict the effect
of Mr.. Churchill's statement on this
situation, holding that any decision
on that question must rest with
Paris.
The situation created by the pro-
nouncement is believed In some
quarters, however, to forecast an
early meeting of the American Debt
Commission. Some members of the
commission appear apprehensive
over the outlook. but the belief ap-
parently prevails at the treasury that
the British position will not prove an
insurmountable obstacle to q settle
ment with France.
The subject was brought up on the
floor of the senate today by Senator
Reed. Democrat. Missouri. who said
he would ''call the attention partic-
ularly of the foreign relations COM
mittee" to Mr. Churchill's pronounce
ment
