 The man was arrested yesterday afternoon by Lieut. Detective Jo- seph Stevens and Detective Ser geant Henry Johnson after postal officials had asked for aid. A com plaint was made yesterday morn ing by 9 woman residing at 19 Grand street, who claimed that she saw a man taking mail from her box.
 He admitted the thefts to police and consented to sign written confession.
 After two hours of police ques- tioning he was taken on an auto mobile tour of the city and pointed out more than 40 buildings in which he had stolen mail intended for persons residing theme. He said that he had visited some of the places on, many occasions.
 Formerly 8 book salesman, he is said to be extremely familiar with the city's streets and build ings. Many of the buildings from which he admitted stealing mail were those in which persons mak- HE COul ulpldlllS lO LhC pCoI OlllCC live. Postal authorities here have received such complaints for many months and have called in police assistance several times in an ef- fort to apprehend the person or persons responsible.
 Ehle's case came up in city court this morning and was continued till Monday. His coming before fadnro1 hnWnUar yuilI probably take the casse out of the city's Jurisdiction. He had no coun- sel this morning.
 Detectives say that the case against Ehle is almost fool-proof. His own confession, they say, cli- maxes evidence which has been carefully and completely built up.
 It was first thought that local courts would handle the case, but Postmaster Kelley said this morn ing that the charges against Ehle made 1t decidedly federal of fense and bring him under the Jurisdiction of the United States government.
 According to his confession, Ehle made thefts from mail boxes in all sections of the city. The following are the addresses at which he ad- mitted rifling boxes: IA Central avenue, IS Central avenue, Grove street. 617 North Main street, 3 Easton avenue. 1051 North Main street, AZ Robinson street. 269 Walnut street, 259 Walnut street. 189 Walnut street. 51 Walnut street AZ Walnut street. 28 Walnut street 32 Cherry street.

sary purchases and payments of obligations.
 Two Grave Problems "The receivership is confronted with two grave problems: First
 that there be prompt payment to depositors and second that the ad- ministration be careful in preserv- ing assets, the liquidation of which is necessary to pay depositors. Through the generous coopera- ton of the Colonial Trust Company and the Citizens and Manufactur- CTS National Bank. such loan can be consummated at this time. Each | bank will loan $120,000 as a con-
 tribution to the welfare of the com-
 munity and for the purpose of pay
 ing a dividend"
 Under the loan plan the receiver would deliver a collateral note to each bank for $120.000 and pledg- | ing ewith each bank sufficient as-
 sets in the savings department 10 protect the loan and provide ede-
 quate margin of safety for its pay | ment.
 Fifty Percent Liquidation Attorney Reeves explained that
 the receiver has realized a 50 per | cent nqulQatlOn or the dSSets anu liabilities of the bank since the
 receivership was inaugurated.
 He complimented the lawyers
 who had business dealings with

because the owners of the proper ty involved are in no position to pay the obligations.
 Treating the assets as 8 whole. the application states, it seems clear to the receiver that any de- termined or drastic liquidation at the present time would prove futile as to some of the assets and at the very best would result in a very great sacrifice of the savings de- partment assets.

 The applications points out that great, many of the savings depos' itors are in modest means and for the last two years they have been deprived of the income from their investment.
 "The receiver believes that pay ment of dividend at this time is urgently. needed by these deposi- tors" says the application. "The payment of a savings and com mercial dividend at this time would be of great assistance to the community generally. in that il would place in the hands of de- positors available funds for neces.

POLISH SAILORS
 LEARN TO CARVE
High Seasnlen Carry on Artistic Wood Carving
 Tradition

Zakopane, Poland The old Yankee pastime of whiting knick- knacks with a jack knife has found It's counterpart here in the Carpathian Mountains where vir- tually the entire population whittles and carves with an artistry that puts to shame most Ambitious cre- ations of early American "ship-in- the-bottle artists. For centuries, the boys of the region have been carving tables and chairs, spoons and cups, cheese moulds and saints images. Now q Government school of wood work ll@j been established for the mountaineers, and the re- markable carving made by these boys of fourteen and fifteen are amazing the art critics.
 Over two hundred mountain boys come down from their snowy peaks to the school in the valley. Before the whiting school was organized, the mountaineers used to carve all sorts of decorations on their wood en doors and beams, and when every conceivable object of daily use was beautified, they carved saints images. Every cottage wife brides herself on the large as- SOrtment of carved wooden spoons, each one reserved for a member of the family, relatives and friends. A boys interest was turned to whit ting sticks for his mother to rub her clothes against as she washed them in the mountain stream; and then if he couldn't think of any thing else he carved himself bee hive in the form of a great bear or some other animal. He had per feet mania for expressing himself in wood-he felt an urge to keep forever whittling. It was this urge that led to the founding of the Government School.
 Americans visiting Poland and stopping at Zakopane for the win ter sports are enthusiastic over these remarkable whittlers. It is of interest to note that American soldiers during the War who found themselves interned in foreign prison camps used to watch Polish prisoners at their carving and then get out their own knives and re- vive the old Yankee occupation of whiting.

 The Insulls assert affairs of their companies were properly handled. The hearing of the appeal was completed almost two months ago. Insull reported daily to provin- cial police in the little town of Or illia where he lived.
 Five appeal court justices, head ed by Chief Justice Sir William Mulock, have had the case under advisement since the appeal was concluded. Their decision today will do one of two things: | CD Free Insult and make it im- possible for United States author ities to seek his extradition under the present indictment. | CD Conclude the 17-month- old court battle of the former magnate to escape extradition.
