fessed they fired the prison o year

such q plea.
The judge will name attorneys

FORMER NEBRASKA
BANKER IS EAGER
TO GET BACK HOME
Sheriff Will Ask Paul Wupper,
Held in Philadelphia, to
Waive Extraction

Philadelphia, April 4.-R-officers
arrived Saturday to take back to Ne
braska Paul Wupper. charged with
embezzlement in the wrecking of the
State Bank at Beemer. Neb.. two
years ago.
Charles Sass, sheriff Of Cunning
county, Neb.; Fred Benton. states
deputy of Lincoln, and Henry Sand
ers, Beemer, q real estate operator,
had with them papers signed by Gov
ernor Bryan Of Nebraska for Wup-
per's extradition.
The sheriff decided to ask Wupper
to waive extradition. II he agrees,
the Nebraska authorities will confer
with District Attorney John Monog-
han as to whether it would be legal
to take Wupper back Saturday after
noon.
Sheriff Sass said Wupper always
was regarded as an outstanding citi-
zen of his section of Nebraska, and
that his home there covered a city
block.
Wupper has been in Moyamensing
prison for three weeks. He was first
sent there on a charge Of non-sup-
port which later vas changed to
bigamy when his wife discovered she
was spouse No. 2.
After the closing of the Beemer
bank, Wupper wandered about the
country and finally came to Philadel-
phia where he met Miss Hedwig
Hirsch in q cafe and later married
her. Unable to support his wife he
is alleged to have deserted her and
was arrested in New York and re-
turned here.
Wupper wa kept in Moyamensing
prison so long on the non-support
charge, waiting for 1t to come up in
domestic relations court, that he u
spected Mrs. Brinkmann had become
aware of his bigamous marriage, he
said, and voluntarily told police he
was wanted in Nebraska for embez-
element.
Wupper, detectives say, appears
eager to get back to Nebraska to see
members Of his family.

serted by two-thirds Of its residents
and with the remaining third living
in tents and temporary shelters on
the heights overlooking the debris.
Two thousand persons lost their lives
In the quake.
While recovery of bodies of victims
and treatment of injuries continue,
other marine patrols are meeting
certain emergency situations which
have developed. Guard details have

shoot looters, and four despatched
Thursday night are understood to
have brought the total executed to
20.
Shooting All Dogs
Another patrol Is shooting at sight
all dogs caught roaming the streets,
! for fear that the lack 0 water and
heat may drive some of them mad

phobia. Several cases Of rabies have
been reported.

doreS, who brought modern fabric
clothing to Nicaragua, the women Of
this section have washed their clothes

side of the lake as they took the bod
les out, just as II nothing had hap
pened.
With their wives and children safe

Four marine corps planes and three

the 200 refugees to Corinto where the
transport Chaumont (for San Fran
cisco) and u. s. S. Relief (for New

northern cities they will have to make
some arrangements for warmer
clothes since they had nom here and
could have carried nothing with them
