Burton for Geneva
on Arms Conference

Washington, D. C.-The American
delegation to the international arms
traffic conference, opening in Geneva
on May 4, under the auspices of the
League of Nations, will include Repre-
sentative Theodore Burton of Ohio,
and Hugh Gibson, American minister
to Switzerland. Whether a third
member will be appointed to the
delegation, so far as it is known has
not yet been decided.
1t was learned that Mr.. Burton was
slated for selection through his par
ticipation in the state department con-
ferences at which details instruc-
tions are being worked out for the
delegation.
1t is understood conference matters
also were discussed at White House
diner last night at which the Ohio
representative was the presidents
guest with Secretaries Kellogg and
Hoover, the latter having participated
in the discussions also, as have
technical advisers of the navy and
war departments.
Mr.. Gibson's selection has been re-
garded as certainty because he repre-
sented the United States in the pre-
liminary Geneva conferences which
led up to the Washington govern
ment's decision to participate in the
Forthcoming one.

FIND MAN WHO
TRIED SUICIDE
Wanderer Appears at Matt
Stahl Farm With Cash
in Throat.
APPEARS DEMENTED
Sheriff WiIIems Seeks Today to
Locate Relatives of Walter
Olson in Illinois.

Walter Olson, SO, is today patient
at st. GATHERINGS hospital suffering
from wounds that were self-inficted,
apparently in an attempt to commit
suicide. The man was found Tues
day afternoon in wandering and
desolate condition on the Matt Stahl
farm in the town of Pleasant Prairie,
and was taken into town and given aid.
So far as Sheriff Willems has been
able to ascertain the man had no rela-
tives in Kenosha county. He is be-
lieved to have been employed at some
time recently on farms in the county,
though no definite narration of his
past could be secured from him.
y A Tragedy of the War.
Olson's condition mentally is be-
lieved to be result of shell-shock in
war days, according to DR.. Hanley
who attended upon the patient at the
hospital. He is believed to have some
relatives in Illinois and efforts to get
into touch with these were being
made today by Turnkey Ray Willems
at the sheriff's office
Mrs. Matthew Stahl was the first
one who observed Olson on Tuesday
afternoon. While at work about her
home she saw the man, a stranger
come and sit in the front yard Of their
place. She called her husband, and
commented on the strange appearance
of the man.
Stahl brought the man into the
house. He had cut upon the face,
reaching from the ear to the chin, and
gashes on both wrists. These wounds
had caked over and hardened ind
eating that if Olson had slashed him
self with a knife or razor as seemed
likely, he had done it day or two
ago. and in the meantime the flow
of blood had been stemmed. There
was no arteries cut, but the flesh
wounds were pitiful.
Taken Into Town.
Moved by the condition of the poor
unfortunate human being who had
strayed upon their place, the Stalls
gave him such immediate aid as they
could. They brought him nourishment
and then reported the case to the
sheriff's office. Young Matthew Stahl
then brought the man down to Sheriff
Willems, who directed his removal to
st. GATHERINGS hospital.
DR.. Hanley spent a long time with
the patient attending to the old
wounds. His physical condition was
considered satisfactory today, but his
mind still wanders.
