Bernard Klein, 80, Hungarian, and
Jacob Schwartz, "a, Czech.
Partisan police officials said they

completes and that their prisoners
would be held temporarily pending

woman, both Americans, in Paris.
Announcement of the Paris develop
ments followed the arraignment in
, New York yesterday of eight men on
charges growing out of another
phantom" theft of s590,OO0 in Treas
ury notes from a teller's cage Of the
United States Trust Co., here in De-
cember, 1885.
Eight Held in Bail.
These eight, arrested by Federal
officers in three States, were held in
bail ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
each.
Acting on series of mysterious
telephone calls Henry Oswald, New
York detective, notified officials of the
American Express Co., which later re-
ported that large amounts of stolen
bonds were being marketed by the
Paris underworld.
Other tips provided by the woman
and by the Prince of Monaco, led to
Paris, and the arrests there followed
The police said they believed the
suspected gang also is in possession of
two other lots of stolen bonds with a
combined value of Sl.780,000
Arrests Furnish Thrills.
Events leading to the arrests in
Paris, as described by police, had all
the elements of detective thriller" :"
Telephone calls we're received by De-
tective Oswald March 4.
Are you interested in getting in
formation of mob that has S3,000,-
900 worth of bonds?" said the mys-
terious voice. The caller hung up
when Oswald tried to obtain more in
formation.
The next day the same anonymous
caller advised him to go to Paris"
About 10 days later, express COM
pany officials in Paris were able to
supply information in response to a
police request.
The ring, according to this informa-
ton, used expensive motor cars and
yachts and lived like royalty in order
to impress customers, usually persons
able to buy investments for large
estates where securities likely would be
hidden indefinitely.
The beautiful woman" in the case,
living in New York with a villa at
Monte Carlo, supplied the name of
Anthony Pasquale, who. she said, had
approached her about securities. Pas
ouale was found to have been shot
four times and killed July 80, 1885, at
Hester and Mott streets.
Frank Is Arrested.
But through man living on Park
avenue who said he had been ap-
preached regarding security purcns ses
and had learned the bonds were
stolen, Frank was taken in custody.
A cable to the Prince of Monaco
in Monte Carlo brought the informa-
ton that the Czechoslovakian and
Hungarian were under arrest in Paris.
The sl,5o7,s38 theft occurred when
George Blossfleld, the bank runner,
was making delivery of other items
to c. J. Devine on the twenty fifth
floor of 48 Wall street.
AS in the $4,000 theft they simply
vanished while the runners back was
turned, and at first the theft was
listed by police as a case Of q mis-
placed wallet"

While not mentioning Governor
Alfred M. Landon by name, it was
clear that the President had the
governors Chicago speech in mind
as he set forth a spirited defense
of the governments spending

at the White House doorstep the
charge of waste and extravaganza.
The crowd interrupted Presi-

Hendersonville's BearcatS from

block of a Forest City punt to
touchdown by Bill Crowder and a
perfect extra point placement by
brothers to down the Rutherford
county visitors by q count of 9

Showing better in some respects
than in their first game, but still
n little shaky and rough in spots,
the Cats bottled up an Intellectual
Forest City offense for the first
three periods, and showed sutfi-
cient ball carrying ability to cross
the visitors goal line at least
once. The remainder of the after
noon was not entirely devoid of
thrills, but for a goodly portion
of the time it looked as if the two
points chalked up by the locals
early i'm the second period would
be all of the scoring in the game.
The Cats started at q fairly
rapid rate. made four first downs
in the first period, but SIumped
and made none in the second, then
added two in the third and none
in the final. The visitors got start
ed slowly, and failed to register a
first down before the final period,
when they chalked four.
The Cats were never in serious
danger. They got two points in
the second and seven early in the
fourth. Forest City made three
goal threats. but all OF them came
with the Cats holding a 9-point
margin and only few minutes to
play.
A tumble by HollingSworth in
the first period halted the Cats on
the visitors 20-yard line after
