RUSSIAN STAGES
1000 BURGLAR|ES
Poses as Idiot, Making Rec
ord in Six Years.

BIZ Rifcd Press
NYITRA, Czecho- Slovakia, Feb. 3.
One thousand successful burglaries
In less than six years, or an average
of more than three each week, is the
record of Ivan Barilov, a Russian
emigre, who has just begun a years
Jail sentence here.
Barilov's method was unique. He
pretended to be an idiot who had lost
his mind, due to hardships inflicted
on him by the Bolsheviks before he
was able to flee from Russia. He
would never discuss any other ques-
tion except communism, the Tcheka,
and "the Russian murderers." For
this reason he was looked upon as a
harmless imbecile by everyone who
lived in the various villages in which
he piled his trade. No one ever
once thought of associating him with
burglaries although they occurred
in rapid succession, sometimes three
or four in one day, soon after his
arrival in any locality.

AIR FATALITIES
CAUSE PROTEST.
British Public Aroused Over
Mounting Toll.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-British pub
lie opinion is much aroused over the
mounting death toll in the Royal
Air Force. which in the first eleven
months of last year cost eighty-one
lives and fifty-one accidents. Fifteen
cidents. In addition many more
pilots were seriously injured in 230
crashes III which all the machines
were so badly wrecked as to be be-
yond repair.
In a written reply to criticism Of
the Air Force, Sir Samuel Hoare,
secretary for air, stated:
I'm spite of continuous and care
full scrutiny of every individual ac-
cident no general cause can be as
signed. Many accidents are the re-
suit Of a combination of causes. A
mechanical failure containing no ele.
ment of danger in itself, but necessi-
tating a bad landing, may be fol-
lowed by crash due to bad ground
or an error of judgment.
Every endeavor is being made to
evolve more comfortable machines
and mechanical devices designed to
increase the safety of flying. Para
chutes have been generally intro
duced and have saved several lives
this year. But it should also be re-
membered that aircraft are con-
stantly improving in performance
and every addition to speed and
power tends to make the result of
an accident more, serious"

NEW VETS INSURANCE
Ex-Soldiers Given Chance at One of
Seven Policies.

The United States Government has
made it possible for all veterans of
the World War, who have allowed
their war risk insurance to lapse,
and who are in good health or who
have war disabilities, to reinstate
their insurance. President Coolidge
has issued proclamation setting
aside this week as a period during
which special attention is to be given
to the matter.
The Government has provided for
seven standard life insurance
policies, each of which is issued at a
low premium rate and containing
liberal provisions for death disability,
cash surrender, paid up insurance,
loans and extended insurance. The
low rates are made possible, because
the Government defrays the cost Of
administration, and the excess
mortality and disability costs incident
to the hazards of war. Such costs
are not borne by the policy holders.
This insurance must be reinstated
and converted on or before July 2.

STEPHENSON SUES FOR BOAT FIRE DAMAGES
Asks $32,500, He Says Is
Due on Yacht Insurance
Policies.
AT TOLEDO
Accused Enemies of Start
ing Flames.

d. c. Stephenson, former Indiana
Khan grand dragon, who is now a
life prisoner in the Indiana State
Prison at Michigan City. filed suit
in Federal Court today seeking $780,
500 from the Home Insurance Com
pany. New York City.
The $4,000 is due him because he
carried insurance policies for S25, 900
on his yacht Roemar H. destroyed
by fire in the lagoon of the Toledo
Ohio Yacht Club, June 81, 1924,
with the company, the suit said.
Others Paid
According to the suit the yacht
was worth SIS, 900 and Stephenson
carried $50, 900 insurance with var
ious companies. The other conf
panies have paid the claims. he said.
The Home Company policies for
$4,000 on the hull and $4,000 on
equipment were written by the
Richardt agency, Evansville, Ind, he
said.
Thes nit petition filed by Attor-
neys Lloyd o. Hill and Paul Z. New
man, said the company has the poll
cies in its possession.
Interest at per cent. making the
S32, 500 total, was asked on the $685.
600 claims.
At the time of the burning of the
yacht Stephenson accused his "ene-
mics" Of setting fire to the boat.
Entertain Delegates
The boat figured much in the ac-
tivities of Stephenson at the Repub-
Hcan national convention at Cleve-
land a few weeks before it was
burned.
Stephenson, it is said, was advo-
eating the nomination of Senator
James L. Watson as Vice President
and would entertain delegates on the
boat in the evening after the heat
of the day sessions.
Stephenson's Irvington home, 1882
Irvington Ave, was damaged by fire
shortly after his arrest for the muir
der of Miss Madge Overholtzer, %,
of $500 Irvington Ave. in April,
1925. He also accused his enemies
Of starting that blaze.
Indictments charging Earl Klincks
Earl Gentry and Stephenson with
conspiracy to commit arson in con-
nection with that fire, however, are
still pending in Criminal Court.
