Gen. Ludendorf Still
Denouncing Hindenburp

Munich.-Gen. Erich Ludendorff,
seventy years old. is still fighting
the past war and denouncing his for
mer chief, Won Hindenburg, while
those in charge of modern armies
are getting ready for the next con-
flict.
In letter filed with vituperative
structures upon the dead Won Hin
denburg, Ludendorff asserts that
Germany's late field marshal-presi-
dent was in reality his (Luden-
dorff's) subordinate.
Ludendorff's anger was aroused by
book review of his recent work,
"The Total War;" The review was
written by Lieut.. Gen. August Won
Cramon In the "Aufrechte,p a sort
of house organ of the Hohenzollern
family.
Won Cramon had quoted the fol-
lowing as coming from Hindenburg
when he discussed his breach with
the former Quartermaster-general:
Il forgot everything that Luden-
dorff has done to me after the war I;
until my last breath I shall remain
grateful to him for the service he
rendered me as my first assistant"
To this Ludendorff replies:
II reject these words in the sharp
est terms possible. / have rendered
no services to Gen. Won Hindenburg.
! wasn't his employee i reject the
expression assistant and refer to
the events attendant upon the selec-
tion of the highest commander who
was placed at my side and not / at
his. He was my assistant (and /
not his)"

Told By L. L. Stevenson in

of DOings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

City Life: Five young men loung-
ing in front of an upper East side
tenement It's three O'Clock in
the morning They've had few
drinks and are kidding among them
selves. A shambling figure
comes in sight One of the five
makes wisecrack It's a hot
one and all laugh loudly The
shambling figure stops and draws a
revolver /. /. A flash and a report
Four boys flee The sham
bling one sinks away cursing
Ten minutes later, policeman
pokes his club into the ribs of a fig
ure slumped on doorstep
Then he sees blood The young
man dies soon after reaching the
hospital And his four compan-
ions can't recall what it was that
made them laugh so hard.
Busy hands: Residents of Suttons
place, that swanky settlement that
sprang up among the tenements
fronting on East river, rubbed their
eyes. For Is years or more, the
four-faced clock on the tower of the
old brewery between Fifty-fourth
and Fifty-fifth hadn't run. Never
theless, the hands were moving.
They weren't showing the correct
time however. At intervals, some
moved forward and some backward.
1t really was bit jittery. Investi-
cation disclosed the fact that fear
ing the works would fall down and
injure someone, the police had re-
moved them. Thus, the hands were
playthings of the breezes.

The woman told hospital authorities sl.e had been beaten by her husband, but Investigation diS- closed that her husband, with their Ave children. is living in Naugatuck. Janusaitis was later arrested aS her aSsailant.
 Brutal Beating
 pr. Edward II. Kirschbauni, med- ical examiner, said this morning the brutal beating the woman har receiv- cd was undoubtedly c contributing factor in her demise" The autopsy performed by Dr. Kirschbaum dis- closed a bad general condition of the vital organs, due to inebriacy, he said. While the bruises she re- ceived did not involve any of the major organs. he said, they were tufflcient to hasten her death.
 Covered With Bruises
 Hospital authorities said the woman was literally covered with bruises. According to Coroner Mon- zani and Chief Inspector Joseph Stevens of the detective bureau, she had lived with JanusaitiS for sev. eral years but there was no relation. ship between them.

ISO Cases of Cigarettes Valued at 5000 Taken in
 New Haven Break; Second Cleanup Within Year

at s2s South Main street, this city, was rifled of cigarettes valued at approximately @l,000.
 Police who investigated the New Haven burglary found that one of the thieves apparently climbed to the warehouse roof from the roof on an adjoining building by means of a tile pipe, built in short sec tions that enabled him to gain s secure footing. Once on the roof, the thief entered through Q sly- light and down a ladder to the 9th floor, thence to the third by eleva- tor.
 Climbed Ladder
 With all of the side and rear win- dows on the first three floors bricked in, the burglar found It necessary to throw a rope knotted in short sections out of the fourth floor rear window and his cofli- panions climbed into the warehouse. Police found the rope still dang ling from the window. Sailing elevator between the third and fourth floor landing, the thieves passed the cased cigarettes up the shaft. Using ropes, they then lowered their loot out another win- dow to Q side yard loading plat from where 1t was placed on 8 truck. New Haven police said the burglary was the most daring and profitable of its kind in the city in many months.

 Details of Crime
 The state claimed that Rago- zinski had told Turzak that for $500 he would see that his niece would support him for the rest of his days, and would secure papers to that effect. The two visited a law yer'S offlce in Thomaston and dis" cussed the arrangement.
 Then, according to Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald, Ragozinski prevailed on the old man to 90 to Derby, where he had a large bank account and take out $400. When they arrived in Waterbury he told the old man they needed a Waterbury lawyer.
 Next said MT. Fitzgerald, Rago- zinski went to the city court here and found Constable Nicholas Jamele, whom he told he wished to help him secure Q debt owed him. He brought the constable to the car where Turzak was, and the old man gave him $200. He was arrested in Thomaston and $l70 found on his person. The change of money took place June 6.
 Mir. Weisman claimed that the $200 was owed to Ragozinski by Turzak, and that the latter was collecting his debt. "fie did not get the money rightfully," said the de- fense counsel, but added that Rag oSinski had never been arrested, worked steadily and had high reputation. He declared that news paper accounts of the case had been moro than enough punisho ment for Ragozinski.

WHEN GOV. CROSS
 WAS FOURTEEN
Essay He Wrote as Clerk in Store Was Heard
 Last Night

Hartford, Conn, Sept. l0.---(UP) The business philosophy of Gov. Gross at the age of ia. when he was a clerk in the general store at Mansfield, was disclosed today when the executive made available copies of an essay he wrote 60 years ago and which he read last night at a meeting of the Hartford County Re- tail Grocers' and Marketmen's as- sociation. The essay was based on his experience as clerk during three summer vacations, and was made public today for the first time. It read:
 "A store keeper or a clerk is . person that tends store. There are different kinds of stores The kind that I refer to is Q grocery and dry goods store combined. The clerks business is to wait upon cus- toners, keep the store clean, use the customers with respect, whether they do you or not. Be accurate in figures also in weights and meas ures.
 "The merchant in buying goods must buy them at the lowest cash price in order to to make Q fair profit; also he must, keep posted with the market because if he buys goods and pays more for them than they are worth he must expect to sell them at loss. Tn keeping an assortment of goods, the merchant must aim to suit all classes of peo- pie.
 "Some people want good goods and are willing to pay Q fair price for them. There is another class of people that want the same kind of goods and are not willing to pay what they are worth. To be 6 suc- cessful merchant requires vigilance, industry, and Q good trade. ."-Wil- bur L. Gross.
