Arrest of DR.. Guenther Gerecke.
Reichs commissioner for unen-

that he embeZzled 1900 900 marks
from public funds, it was Off
cially announced today.
Arrest of Gerecke, which threw
Germany into fresh fever immedi-

Chancellor Adolf Hitler's new
dictatorial regime, followed
charges raised by former ReichS
Minister Of the Interior Won Keu-

ment said.
Hearing Due at Once
Won Keudell, it was stated,
claimed Gerecke embezzled the
funds since 1924 and that the
money was connected with funds
for agricultural relief. Hearings
on the charges were Immediately
launched.
An unofficial report said Gerecke
also was alleged to have en-
bezzled 100000 marks from Presi.

Chancellor Hitler, entrenched as
master of the Reich by vote of the
"Swastika Reichstag," wasted no
time in pressing forward with his
campaign for revival of the nation.
Holding up his slogan that
this is an era of heroism, the
Nazi chieftain launched into the
task of uniting Germany under
the banner of nationalism and
repeated his warning to German
Jews that they must support
him.

Edmund Rogers and Franklin,
when they were still quite small,
took it upon themselves to
build a raft in the cove near
the boat house in order that
they might be able to go out
fishing. Both of them were
pretty good woodchoppers, so
they cut down the trees, matched
the logs, bound them together,
and turned out what looked to
be a beautiful craft. Appar-
emily they had used beech or
some other wood that was
heavier than water, for when
they stepped jubilantly upon
their floating palace, painstak-
ingly dressed in full fishing kit,
they sank with their handiwork,
tackle and all!
Went to Worlds Fair
They shared some very happy
times together those two young
sters. One year when they were
still quite small-it was in 1898
I think-Mr. Roosevelt and I
took them to the Worlds Fair
in Chicago. What an adven-
turel! They could hardly con-
tain themselves for excitement,
there was so much to see, so
many SpectacleS to watch. The
amusement pavilionS proved the
greatest fascination, and I can
not say that I blamed them,
for nothing had been overlooked
in the way of entertainment.
The educational features of the
exhibits came in for a good
part of their attention, but. if
the truth be told, I would haz-
Zard the guess that the In
dians who picked up pennies
by flicking their snake whips
had the greatest lure. The gon-
dolas and gondolierS intrigued
them both vastly, but every
once in so often you would see
them Straying back to the In
dians to see what had become
of their pennies.
Not that either of them was
penurious, but for a boy who
never heard money discussed at
home, I must say Franklin had
a pretty conservative sense of
values. He had no allowance
such as children have today.
For one thing, 1 do not believe
that it was customary at that

SHEILA
HEAD Of LIQUOR
RING SLAIN

NEW YORK, March "a QN.SD
al Lillien, jr., reputed head Of
one of the largest illicit liquor
rings in the East, was dead TO-
day, the apparent victim of gang
Ster vengeance.
He came to the end of gang
lands road at a rambling old
house near Atlantic Highland,
N. j., known as the old Hammer
stein Mansion, which once served
as headquarters for Lilliens
smuggling ring. He was found
dead there last night, three bullet
wounds in the back of his head.
News of Lillien's killing was
telephoned to police by Walter
Gerleit and William Feeney, COM
panions with whom he had
driven to the Hammerstein Man
sion from Newark yesterday.
They told police they had arrived
there with Lillien about 1:30
p. m, and after remaining about
an hour they had gone to Asbury
Park and Long Branch, leaving
Lillien at the mansion.
Returning about 8 o'clock in
the evening, they found the big
house dark, but heard the radio
playing. They found Lillien's
body lying in a hallway on the
third floor. His pockets had
been rifled and his wallet, on
the floor beside him, was empty.
Police held both Gerleit and
Feeney for questioning.

time. Besides, living as we did
in the country, there was little
opportunity for spending it.
There was no dashing off to
the village to buy ice cream
cones, there were no movies to
see, and all his books and toys
were provided for him.
Made Bicycle Tour
So that his first experience
in the handling of money was
during a bicycle tour he made
with his tutor through the
Black Forest in Germany. We
gave him enough, we thought,
adequately to cover their ex-
penses, but the sum hardly per-
mitted of any great extrava-
gances. Imagine our surprise
then when Franklin returned
to Nauheim where his father
and I were taking the cure,
with a good part of the money
left over. and the news that
four times during the expedi-
ton he had been arrested by
the "Politzei" for minor infrac-
tions of regulations, only to
talk himself out of reach of his
scrapes in his best company
German!
His economies were always
bound up in consideration of
one kind or another. He felt
that if his father or I were
good enough to make some
special diversion possible for
him, the least he might do was
to impose on our good nature
as little as possible. His con-
Sideration very nearly proved
a boomerang on one occasion
that I remember.
Hardly COngeniaI
It was in Paris when he was
about 8 years old. We had
heard of a governess in Vienna
who was said to be wonderful.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent for her, paid
for the long journey and for
all the expenses she incurred
enroute. I could tell as soon as
she arrived that, competent
though she might be, she would
hardly prove congenial from
our point of view. We had al
ways had people taking care of
Franklin who. although they
supervised him to the extent
that it was necessary, gave
him a great deal of time with
us alone. 1t was evident from
the outset that this companion
had no such intentions. We
were never without her, but it
seemed to bother Franklin much
less than it did me. On sew
eral occasions asked him
whether he liked his governess
only to have him say, "Oh, she's
all right" Once in London
where we occupied smaller quar-
tiers than we had in Paris, the
situation became a little strained.
Finally I reasoned with Frank
lin along these lines:
Franklin" I said, "you
know that I never knowingly
separated you from any one to
whom you are attached, and if
this governeSs means a great
deal to you we shall take her
back to America with us. How
ever, if she does not, would
much rather we didn't. Now
tell me truthfully: are you
really so dreadfully fond of
her?"
"LOnglegged Duckling"
IT think she's perfectly aw-
full" was Franklin's prompt re-
joinder: In fact, I have a
name for her. call her The
Longlegged Duckling.'"
Then why" I asked COM
pletely baffled, didn't you say
you didn't like her?"
Because" Franklin admitted.
II thought after father had
gone to such trouble and spent
