WORE COLLAR 6 YEARS Has the Same $6 Suit for Four Years ~Walks Six Miles to Save One Cent on Loaf of Bread— Hurts to Spend. New York.—John Sangster, warrant officer of Jamaica, went to Ozone Park, Queens, to arrest William Mohr- mann, 37 years old, for failure to ap pear in court after being summoned for alleged violation of a fire ordi- nance at his garage in Ozone Park. Sangster knew that Mohrmann, besides ownlng a garage, owned three apart- ment houses in Queens and was wort) at least $100,000. He expected to find Mohrmann living in a fine house with many servants. Home in Old Barn, " | For that reason it was some time before he could locate his man. Final ly he was directed to an old, dilapi | dated barn on the outskirts of the town, where he was told Mobriegann | could be found. barn locked, but in the boards of one side he found a hole which had been stuffed with burlap, He pulled this out and a hand came through the crack from the inside and the burlap. Sangster seized the hand and pulled. He pulled out part of the barn and with the boards came Mohr- mann. Mohrmann was taken to before Magistrate Conway. There he admitted his wealth, but he said he hgd been living in the old barn to de- feat the high cost of living. He paid $6 four years ago for the suit of cloth- ing he wore, and sald rather proudly that he had worn the same collar for six years. His statement was not doubted by any one in court. Walks Miles to Save Cent. He went out of the barn only on Saturdays to collect his rents and pur. chase enough food for the next week Jamaica Lived in a Barn. And to get the food he walked six miles to a grocery that sold bread for a cent a loaf less than the ones in Ozone Park, “L am living according to my own way,” Mohrmann told the court, “and I do not care how much people laugh I have no family to support, and 1 would rather live in a barn honestly than in a palace and be in debt. I en- Joy it, and that is more than most men are doing nowadays. They are trying to do too much and live beyond their means. I am going to live long and within my means and in content- ment.” Magistrate Conway held Mohrmann for further examination, and the man was asked if he would not send for some one to bail him out. “Certainly not,” he replied. “It is so comfortable here in the jail and, besides, the meals are free.” “Perhaps you will spend some of your money to buy necessary com- forts?” a policeman suggested. “I could not do {t,” said Mohrmann. “It hurts me much less to be “uncom fortable than to spend money.” GIRL HANGS BY HER HAIR Caught in Shafting in Factory She Re. fuses to Have Tresses Cut Until Scalp Tears. Burlington, N. J.—Refusing to per mit companions to cut her beautiful! | hair when the strands were caught in the shafting above a loom she was operating in the Burlington Silk Mills, Miss Emma Hoffman, nineteen, hung suspended while rescuers tried to ex tract the hair, until torn off. Other young women fainted, but re- taining consciousness despite her suf- fering, Miss Hoffman pleaded with fel low employees not to cut her hair, and they supported her weight while it was being extracted strand by strand from the pulley. Dr. Richard Anderson found it nec- essary to remove more of the hair te stitch back and save about 20 square inches of scalp. —— Sangster found the}! grabbed | her scalp was | WAR THREAT IS” | WADE BY FRANCE Poles to Get Help !f Germany| Moves Troops Into Up- per Silesia. Paris —The entry of German troop: into upper Silesia would provoke ip tervention by regular Polish troops which would mean war, and in suct a war, France could not remain neu | tral, according to expressions in of ficial circies here | The utmost amazement was express | ed in these circles at the speech o! Mr. Lloyd George, the British prime minister, on the upper Silesian situa Uon containing what is regarded here | as extraordinarily friendly references | to Germany and judgments hostile to | ward Poland and unsympathetic to | ward France. | Premier Briand himself took the un | usual course’ of receiving all the for | eign newspaper correspondents in 4) | group to recount to them what the| French government had done and in tended to do. | | France is unalterably opposed to! | any German military operations {n up per Silesia, the premier declared | | ee | Loudon. — Prime Minister Lloyd) George, in a dramatic speech in the | house of commons concerning the up- per Silesian embroglio, said the action of the Polish insurrectionists was a complete defiance of the treaty of Ver- sailles. | “I think it is right I should speak quite plainly,” Mr. Lloyd George, de clared, “because if these things can happen and we take no notice and do not deal with them with that stern justice which has characterized the | attitude of this country and all its | dealings abroad, it is going to be fatal to the peace of Europe. If that is} | disturbed, I do not see what is going | to happen to Europe.” Mr. Lloyd George pleaded for the | upholding of the treaty, both for the suke of honor and for safety and se curity. There were two ways of deal ing with the Silesian situation, he declared. One was that allied troops | insist on restoring order. It was not for him to express a military opin jon and he did not insist on this part | of the program, but he was entitled | to insist on an alternative. Either | the allies ought to insist upon the | treaty being respected or they ought | to allow the Germans to do so. WEST VIRGINIA HAS GUERILLA WARFARE. Williamson, W.

Va., and McCarthy. | All available state police and deguty | sheriffs, centered in Williamson, were rushed to the scene, but according to reports they had been unable to check the shooting. The towns under fire are within seven miles of each other and lie in a Narrow valley on the banks of the Tug river, which separates West Vir- ginia from Kentucky. The state police were virtually help- less during the day as the attacking forces in the mountains were screen | ed by foliage and boulders, while the police, in order to attempt a direct at- | tack, would have been obliged to cross the open valley and climb the rugged ] slopes in view of the hidden marks- men, ‘HOUSE PASSES GRAIN BILL | Tincher Measure Regulating Futures | | Goes to the Senate. | | Washington, D.
