low freezing will come, he said. No

International Inquiry.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
GENEVA, Jan. 17.-The vast
seizures of dope" in the United
States resulting from disclosures
following the Arnold Rothstein
murder were scheduled to have an
echo before the League of Nations
advisory opium commission, which
convened Here today.
Representatives of countries from
which the seized drugs we're
smuggled into the United States
are expected to be called upon to
explain why their governments had
not checked such traffic.
Information resulting from the
Rothstein disclosures will probably
enable the commission to make de-
cided progress toward putting its
fingers on the international dope
ring and the governments whose in
sufficient enforcement methods
make such traffic possible.

SheIburn FinanCier Admits
Covering Up Thefts,
After Arrest.
INSTITUTION is CLOSED
Rescued From His Garage,
Seriously III From Gas
Poisoning.
BIZ Times Special


SHELBURN, Ind. Jan. 17.-Jessup
Bollinger, president of the First
State Bank of Shelburn, confessed
today that he had forged about $40,-
600 worth of notes to cover up de-
falcations occurring during the past
year and was arrested on a forgery
charge by the sheriff from Sullivan.
Bollinger went into his garage
here Wednesday morning and
started the motor of his car. He was
suffering seriously from monoxide
gas when found. Directors, acting
with Kenneth v. Brownell, state
bank examiner, closed the bank at
noon Wednesday.
According to Brownell part OF the
$4,000 in notes was held by the
Peoples National Bank and Trust
Company of Sullivan, nearby city.
Found Dead in Bank
Edgar D. Maple, AZ, vice-presi-
dent and trust officer of the Sullivan
institution was found dead in that
bank Wednesday morning with a
bullet in his head and revolver, be-
longing to the bank, nearby.
There appears to have been
some collusion between those two
men," said Brownell.
The bank examiner said he still
was delving into the books Of the
Shelburn institution and could not
state definitely what the condition
was.
He said 1t had been established
definitely that some of the forged
paper had gotten to the Sullivan
institution and there was supposi-
ton that Maple knew about it.
Free on $4,000 Bond
Bollinger was found in Shelburn,
i'll the garage, unconscious, several
hours after Naples body was found
in the bank at Sullivan, six miles
away, by officials who went to open
up for the days business. Bollinger
was rapidly recovering today. He
was released under $4,000 bond.
Sullivan police have not definitely
determined whether Maple shot
himself or was killed by some one
else. The bullet hole was in his
forehead, the banks own gun was
a few feet away, and a side door
was open.
The banks vault had been opened,
but officials said nothing was miss
ing. No question as to the solidity
of the Sullivan institution has been
raised.

PEOPLE MORE HONEST
Fewer Towels Are Being Stolen
From Toledo Hotels.

BIZ United Press
TOLEDO, O., Jan. Ill. H.
Limecooly. local hotel man, believes
people are getting more honest.
At the close of 1927 there were
$50 dozen towels to be replaced at
the hotel which he manages, while
fewer than 100 dozen have been
replaced this year.
Due either to a rebirth of ethical
qualms or to the growing conviction
that a towel is not worth larceny,
the crash collecting fad is dying out,
Linecooly declares. and the sea-
soned travellers linen display no
longer looks like a section from the
hotel red book.
