GREATEST POSTWAR
STATESMAN IN REICH
STRCSEMANN, Is DEAD
Heart Attack Fatal to Man Who
Guided Germany Through
Troubled Years
DEATH BLAMED TO DEBATE
Son Of Restaurant Keeper Rose
to Eminencs During Cha
otic Last Ten Years

Berlin. Oct. g. o. Dr.. Gustav
Stresemann. German foreign minister
and the reich's greatest post
statesman. died at 5:25 a. m. today
Of q heart attack which followed a
paralytic stroke at 10 o'clock last night.
He was 81 years old, and had been
in Ill health for many months. Frau
Stresemann and his two sons were at
his bedside.
For several days recently he was
confined to his bed with his old ca
tarrhal trouble. but he got up yester-
day to participate In the reichstag de-
bate on issuance OF industrial insur-
ance, political issue which threat
cned collapse Of the coalition govern
ment which he personally held to-
gether. His physicians believed the
strain Of bitter debate In the reic! stag
during the day weakened hts system.
Or. Stresemann was regarded as the
backbone OF the German cabinet
headed by DR.. Mueller. and many did
not see how the coalition could hold
together without him.
TO Change Foreign Policy.
Political circles considered whether
his death would mark material
change In Germany's foreign policy,
which since his ascendancy has been
one Of cooperation with the League
Of Nations and reconciliation with
0ermany's old enemies, with honor
able meeting Of the country's ver-
sailles treaty obligations its corner
stone.
His death came. too. at an awkward
moment In the reich's affairs. when
ratification Of the Young reparations
plan seemed certain to muster con-
siderable opposition.
In the chaotic conditions that
governed Germany after the World
war. Gustav etresemann rose up as an
antidote Ike OIL on troubled waters.
It was as II 6trcsemann stood by
while others tried this policy and that
without producing anything like q
semblance OF order. and then stepped
In to thrust upon the country hts own
ideas and schemes. And usually he
emerged successful.
After leaving college In 1901 he be-
came assistant to the general secre-
tary Of the Association Of German
Chocolate Manufacturers. Two years
later he was chosen general secretary
OF the League Of Saxon Industrialists
From this vantage point he made
his jump into politics, affiliating with
the national Liberal party. He was
elected to the reichstag In 1907 as a
candidate Of that party, and became
q devoted follower Of Bassermann. the
party's leader and chairman. Ten
years later, upon Bassermann's death,
Stresemann succeeded to his post aS
head Of the party.
In 1918 he formed and assumed
chairmanship Of the German Peoples
party.
He was married and the father OF
two sons.

Robber Makes Clean Getaway,
With Conflicting Stories
OF Disappearance
SCORE RED ROADSTER STORY
Don't Know If Bandit Left Tay-
Ior by Automobile, Foot
or Horseback
Tribune Special Servicc)

Taylor, N. D.. Oct. 3.-Sheriff
Frank x. Wanner of Stark county
was at q standstill today in his efforts
to locate the bandit who yesterday
held up the Security National bank
here.
A check today showed that the
robber obtained $l,6l9.5O, mostly in
currency.
Deputy Sheriff J. F. Wanner said
this morning that the bandit or
bandits made a clean getaway and
that conflicting stories regarding
their actions after the robbery had
hampered the chase.
Wanner said he had been told the
robher used high-powered touring
car insteau cf a red roadster as first
reported. He was at loss to under
stand how the red roadster got into
the picture.
Saw Only One Man
H. r. Lcutz, cashier OF the bank,
said he did not know il the lone
bandit had any accompliccs and that
no one could be certain on this point.
He saw only one man. After the
man left the bank. he said, he rushed
into the street but saw no one. He
did not know II he left Taylor by
automobile, foot or horseback"
The shot fired by the lone bandit,
Lcutz said, was not blank as was
first believed. It later was found Inn
bedded in the wall of the bank.
After taking all the currency In
sight and forcing Lcutz to bring the
silver from the vault. the bandit
asked for sssck in which to carry the
silver. Leutz said. AS Leutz started
to get it the man fired one shot.
Leutz said the man apparently in
tended to inttmidate him still fur
ther.
Leutx Forced to Help
The bandit already had forced M.
A. Stevenson. bookkeeper. to lie on
the floor while Leutz gave such as
sistancc as he needed.
So far as Leutz could learn no one
but Stevenson and himself saw the
bandit and no one saw either the au-
tomobile In which he is believed to
have escaped or his accomplices. II
he had any.
Two transients were being held at
jamestown for questioning relative to
the robbery but Stark county officials
had no information regarding 1t un-
I'll this morning. They were not GER
tain if LeutZ would be asked TO 60 to
Jamestown In an attempt to identify
the bandit.

"A report that professional Grim

here at q meeting Of the Kansas

The report, which was made by

10 years 0,160 convicts, including
sthe worst offenders, were released

Only 972 "best" convicts were
permitted to leave before their

@ditions that they obey all laws,
drink no liquor and be under
strict supervision.
: The law provides for discharge
on good behavior after a prisoner
has served threefourths Of his

according to the report, only
about $50 were discharged under
this provision while each of the
