Thief Pays For Loot
 In Worthless Currency

To get rid of his imitation cur rency which is now valueless, a Der lin man has hit on an odd idea.
 Dressed as an artisan and carry ing a bag of tools. he calls upon householders as an inspector of the heating apparatus. and takes the opportunity to steal whatever he can lay his hands on. Then he sends the value of the stolen articles in the value of th estolen articles in obsolete banknotes. stating that he is very sorry. he Is no common thief. but since he cannot change his banknotes by any other method. this seems the only way to get rid of them.

ENGLAND HOLDS UP
CRUISER BUILDING
Reluctant to Go Ahead With
Arms Cut Still Possible,
Says Bridgeman.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 23.-The Brit
ish government is reluctant to lay
down any more 10,000ton cruisers at
present, in the hope that naval limi-
tation may yet be reached, w. c.
Bridgeman, first lord Of the admiralty,
told the House Of Commons today.
Replying to question in the House
Of Commons, Mr.. Bridgeman said that
a new situation had arisen owing to
the fact that, although Great Britain S
proposals for limitation in the number
of large 10,000-ton cruisers had not
been agreed to at Geneva, the discus
sion left the hope that a limitation
might be reached.
In these circumstances, he added,
the British government was reluctant
to lay down any more of these cruisers
al present.
The questiOner. who was Sir Will
liam Dawson Of kenSington, had ask
ed if Mr.. Bridgeman would state what
were the new facts disclosed in re-
gard to the naval conference which
had caused the government to decide
it was unnecessary TO proceed with
laying down two Of the three cruisers
planned for this year.
Lady Astor chipped in when Mr..
Bridgeman was answering a further
question by Sir William with the
statement that protection of Great
Britain'S trade routes and food sup
plies had been taken into considera-
ton in cutting down the naval pro-
gram. Lady Astors remark was, lis
anybody attacking the food supply Of
this SSuntry?"

u. S. AND POLAND SIGN
EXTRADITlON TREATY
Dificulties in Drafting Pact Over
come After Prolonged
Negotiations.
By Radio to The, star and CHI Cbleaso Daily

By Radio to The star and Chicago Daily
80 News. Copyright. 1927.
WARSAW, November 23,-Begin-
ming today, American criminals no
longer will be able to seek refuge IN
Poland nor Polish criminals in the
United States, for, after prolonged
negotia tons, an extradition treaty
has been signed between the two
countries.
Great difficulties were caused by
Poland's complicated legal code, or
rather codes. The pre-War Austrian n,
German and Russian codes are SUN
in force in various parts OF Poland,
and in addition the provinces around
Warsaw have the Napoleonic code.
A Polish commission on codlfca-
ton already has sat for number OF
wears in an effort to unity the law
but so far has met with little sue
cess, since business in each part OF
the country is adapted to the pre-
vailing code Of the section and there
Is great opposition to change. Hence
the treaty with America had to be
drawn up almost as if five countries
instead Of two were concerned.

Surtax Exemption
OF II. s. Securities
Urged by Mellon
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Exemption of Federal securities
from the surtax will be recon-
mended to Congress by Secretary
Mellon.
Such action would remove all
Federal securities from the taxa
ton field and would be in line with
recommendation made in speech
by Undersecretary Mills recently
at Worcester, Mass, in which he
declared that because of the eX-
emption of corporations from the
surtax, corporations fixed the price
of Government securities, and pre-
vented their wide distribution.
Secretary Mellon also believes
that the lifting of the surtaX on
Federal securities would put them
more on par with State and
municipal offerings, which are free
from the surtax, and under present
conditions make a more attractive
investment.
Since the wartime bond issues
are being rapidly called, the Treas
ury hopes by eliminating the surtaX
to encourage a wider distribution
of Federal securities which they
claim. as more wholesome than by
having the majority Of Federal is
sues closely held by corporations.

COOLIDGE PETITION
CAMPAIGN HALTED
Boston Sponsor of Plan Calls
Off WorkerS-StearnS'
Approval.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 23.-Phil'
lip NJ. Tucker, Boston banker, who
started the chain letter petition to
draft President Coolidge into the
presidency in 1929, today issued a
statement requesting that all work
on his plan cease Immediately.
Mr.. Tucker denied printed reports
that Frank w. Stearns, the Presi-
dents close friend. had indorsed his
chainletter plan
"Mr. Stearns had nothing to do
with the idea" he said. L went to
see him before launching the plan.
but made no mention of it to him
NV visit was only to make certain
that Mr.. Coolidge's health would stand
the strain of another term in the
White House."
Former Senator William M. But
Ter, also a close associate of the Presi-
dent, had no knowledge OF nor part
in the plan, Mr.. Tucker added.
Takes Full Credit.
II want to state emphatically," Mr..
fuckers statement read, that the
idea Of this series of letters was en-
tirely my own. My sole purpose was
W IL pOSS1DiC AOl tlAS A<Ai 30 A4AAAA
ber Of citizens to speak as with one
voice. I first thought of getting
others to begin the movement, but
finally decided to go it alone.
THE method chosen was necessary
for the reason that I have no Or
ganiz&tion to carry on other methods
properly. I therefore chose the only
means that I could think of to make
possible an expression from the peo-
pie themselves.
"I made inquiries as to Mr.. Cool
idge's health before beginning and re-
ceived ample assurance of his physi-
cal fitness.
"Mr. Coolidge has expressed his
wish that any petitions favoring his
candidacy for President in 1928
should be discontinued. In accordance
Herewith, it seems best to desist from
trying to bring further pressure upon
him to consent to run. Therefore, /
sincerely trust that all work on my
plan cease Immediately"
Cites Overwhelming Response.
The Spontaneous response" to let
ter forms sent from his office, Mr..
Tucker said, dissipated all doubt in his
mind that there is an overwhelming
majority for Coolidge for another four
years.
Ten million signatures" he said
could not make it more conclusive"
Mr.. Tucker added that he is not
yet convinced that the President will
not be a candidate for reelection. He
refused to place any definite interpre-
tation upon the famous II do not
choose" statement. He declared that
Mr. Coolidge has been a good serv'
ant there is no call to make a slave
Of him."

tered into the Federal service as first

lery, at Camp Lincoln. Springfield, ILL.,,
in June 1916. A year later, when he
entered the Federal service as major
of Field Artillery, he was a captain
in the Illinois Artillery.
He was assigned to the 149th Field
Artillery, 42d Division. His outfit
sailed for France October, 1917. He
served as assistant chief of staff of
his division with the rank of leuten-
ant colonel. Later he served as assist
ant chief Of staff, First Army Corps.
He returned from overseas duty, Janu-
ary, 1919 and was honorably dis
charged few days later.
Won War Honors.
Mr.. Judah received the distinguish
ed service medal from this Govern
ment and the Legion of Honor and
the CroiX-de-Guerre with palm, from
the French government for service
in the Champagne.
Mr.. Judah is now a colonel in the
reserve, commanding the 332d Field
Artillery. Since his return from the
war he has practiced law in Chicago.
