4*! BERLIN STAGES BIG PROTEST MEETING Immense Crowd, Worked Up ; to High Pitch, Cries ¥ “Down With France.” “SUNDAY OF MOURNING” Barred From Celebrating With Rest of Germany, Essen Folk Substitute “Suspicion.” By the Associated Press. BERLIN, January 15.—Great dem- onstrations of protest against the French occupation of the Ruhr took place yesterday. There were no un- toward Incidents. There were strik- ing displays of patriotic fervor. The principal meeting, called by the non-socialistic parties, was held on the Koenigsplatz, opposite the reich- stag. This proved to be the most im- posing manifestation in Berlin, Be- fore moon an immense crowd already had assembled about Great Monument to Victory, erected after Franco-Prus- slan war. Flags were half-staffed on government bufldings, and for the first time since the republic was es- tablished the republi colors were v displayed at many of the best. The with prolets ‘Wacht am Uber Alles amid_orie: Resolutlor ¥rench woolamation. Chancellor Cuno had been invited to attend the Koenigsplatz demou- stration, but he excused himself by pleading pressure of business. The gathering dispersed in orderly fashion, singing patriotic songs. ESSEN IS SUSPICIOUS. repeated! Down with F protest pation were carried by Offer of France to Pay Cash for Coal Eyed Askance by Populace. By the Assoclated Press. ESSEN, January 15.—Forbidden to Join with the unoccupied sections of Germany in openly celebrating the “Sunday of mourning.” the Ruhr dis- trict indulged vesterday In a “Sunday ot susplcion.” It ts generally suspected, especial- 1y in mining circles, that something sinister lies behind the astounding readiness with which the French and other members of the control com- mission yesterday agreed to pay cash for coal deliveries, which heretofore Germany had made on the repara- tlons account directly at her own ex- pense. The Germans in the Ruhr cannot understand why they have been placed under the supervision of thousands of Belgian and French soldiers, or why numerous allied military engineers have been brought en if only to obtain the priv- of buying coal and even then at vrlccu med by the Germans. CHIEF OF DENVER MINT ROBBERS FOUND DEAD AND FROZEN IN AUTO (Continued from First Page.) merve closed delivery automobile truck as four fedéral reserve guards were carrying $200,000 in new five- dollar bllls from the mint, where it had been kept as a measure of safety, the men opened fire. The leader, belleved to be the man found dead in the stolen automobile Iast night, directed the terrific fire at the approaching reserve bank guards and, alded by his confederates, captured the currency—all of ~which was in new bills of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank—placed it in their car and drove away. As the leader of the bandit gang opencd fire Charles T. Linton, aged guard of the bank, attempted to draw is pistol, but a well-directed bullet from the gun of the leader of the ang struck him and he fell, mortal- ' ounaca. Gathering up the money, the ban- dlts ro-entered thelc car and sped away. As they left the man who had fakon the lead during the actual rob- bery, stood on the running board of the car and fired a final voiley, while mint guards sent a shower of lead from the second story of the mint. The bandit was seen to throw his arm into the car and lurch forward, only the quick work of his com- panions preventing him from falling fo the street. According to Chief of Police Williams, the man thus injured never left the car after that. Only One Wound. Tt 88 the theory of Deputy Coroner Bostwick that the bullet from one of the guns of guards or possibly from the gun of Linton struck the man on the left hand, passed out about four inches farther back on the wrist and penotrated his chest about a half inch above the heart. These are the only signs of wounds to be found on the body, there being no other marks or scars except a vaccination scar. Tt is the further theory of the police that the bandits drove directly east of Colfax avenue, the street in front of the mint, and the direction which witnesses declared the car took, and into the garage, found their leader dead, locked the garage and then left. Later they re-entered a car probably ked In some garage in the imme- diate vicinity and then left Denver, according to the police idea, An autopsy to determine the callber of the gun which inflicted the fatal wound will be performed today. ARREST MAN IN CHICAGO. Daniel Culhane, Gambler, Held in Connection With Mint Robbery. CHICAGO, January 15.—Daniel Cul- hane, who said he was a St. Louls, Mo.. gambler, and otherwise was de- scribed as a member of a Chicago mllhon dollar gambling syndicate, was under arrest here today in con- nection with the robbery in front of the Denver, Colo., mint last Decem- ber. Culhane's arrest and the discov- ery of the body of a man, believed to be the leader of the mint hold-up at Denver merely were coincidental the police said. Culhane was arrest- ed after he had mentioned the Den- ver robbery over the telephone to Kansas City, Mo. Detectives at Kan- sas City were sald to have had the place to which Culhane telephoned under surveillance and to have been listening_in on all_telephonic calls to and from it Culhane's where- abouts immediately was given the Chicago police. Culhane was surprised in his room by five detectives who pointed pistols at him. He slept with an automatic plsto]_beneath his pillow, but made no effort to reach for it. He had a small amount of money, and would not explain why he had several marked money #sappers sewed in- side his vest lining. After hours of questioning detec- tives said Culhane denied knowledge of the Denver robbery, He {s sal to be well . known -in ‘the . Chicago night-life district.

RUSSIANS TALK OF WAR INRUHR PROTEST NOTE Message to “People of World” Fails to State Attitude in Event of New Outbreak. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, January 15.—Russia’s first officlal pronouncement on the occupation of the Ruhr by the French Wi made by the all-Russian central executive committee last night in the form of a message addressed to “all the peoples of the world." It sharply protests against the action of France and her allies and calls attention to its belief that war threatens, but malkes no statement of what Russia’s attitude would be if war ensued. Declaring that the perialistic France has invaded the in- dustrial heart of Germany, the manifesto asserts: “In this critical moment labor and peasant Russia cannot remain silen It charges that France has gone even beyond “shameful Versallles,” and that England, Italy and Japan, by washing their hands, or only feebly esting, are equally guilty of breaking the soverelgnty of the Ger- man people and trampling upon their rights of self-determination. “Terrible poverty and sufferings threaten the laboring classes in Ger- many,” it concludes. “All Europe is threatened with growing economic disorder. Russia warns the peoples of the world of the terrible danger that menaces peace. Your fate is in your hands.” —_— LIKELY TO PROTEST FILIPPI EXPULSION (Continued from First Page.) instructions from his government as to whether he should protest. Coming to Washington. Mgr. Filippl's personal effects are packed and arrangements have been made for his transportation to La- redo, Tex. From there he will go to New York and Washington, awaiting orders from Rome in the latter city. It is not known whether a govern- ment officlal will accompany him out of the country, as is the custom in cases of expulsion. The archbishop is alleged to have officiated at the laying of the corner stone of a religlous monument. The constitution forbids the holding of open-air religious services or pro- cessions, and the federal authorities have interpreted last Thursday’s serv- ice as coming within the meaning of the clause. Exercises Defended. Friends of the archbishop declare that the exercises were held on pri- vate ground; Mgr. Fillppi himself as- serted in a statement that there was “no violation of either the spirit or the letter of the law” and that the ceremony “was an outdoor service in no sense of the word.” 1t is stated officially that Gov. Ma- drozo of Guanajuato, the state in which tho service was held, has been ab- solved of charges that he had been remiss in his duties in permitting it to take place. The Most Rev. Jose Mora, arch- bishop of Mexico, and other church dignitaries were among the friends who called on Mgr. Filippi yesterday. A committee of the local Knights of Columbus also paid him & visit, as- suring him of their sympathy. ' One hundred members of the Order of Catholic Women of Mexico went to the presidential residence Sunday c/t- ernoon, but President Obregon was not at home. Expresses Surprise. Mgr. Filippi arrived in Mexico City fourteen months ago as the first apostolic delegate to Mexico in many years. He formerly was stationed in Ottawa, Canada, as well as Phila- delphla, Chicago and Buffalo. He is a personal friend of Cardinal Dough- erty. Beyond expressing surprise at his expulsion and describing it as *“an incredible proceeding,” Mgr. Filippi had little comment to maie when he received the correspondent of the Associated Press today. “There was ne violation either of the spirit or the letter of the law in the Cerro el Cubilite ceremony, to which the Mexican government had taken offense,” said the prelate. “It was an_outdoor service in no sense of the word. I merely blessed the cor- ner stone, and the entire ceremony took lgss than twenty minutes. Curlous Angles. “I have presided at similar functions numerous times in Mexico, and certainly 1 had no idea in this instance of setting myself against any federal law. 1 can- not understand the government's atti- tude, but I shall accede to its request, and depart without protest.’ Several curlous phases are presented by the situation. The Italian ministe is extremely active in Mgr. Filippl's be- half, which is considered here as indi- cating close relations between the Ital- fan government and the Vatican. Mgr. Filippl is a personal friend of Presidant Obregon and Senora Obregon, and has been entertained at Chapultepec palace several times. Senora Obrogon is a devout Catholic.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO German Monarchists Seize Opportunity to Fan Revolt “Hymns of Hate” Revived at Meetings to Protest French Seizure of Ruhr Valley BY GEORGE WITTE. By Wireless to The Star aud Chicago Daily News. Copsright, 1928. BERLIN, January 15.—Immeasura- bly strengthened by the French in- vasion of the Ruhr district, the Ger- man monarchists are successfully fanning the flumes of revolt agalnst the present government and the trea- ty of Versailles. Many more people ' are now listening to thelr “hymns of hate” than has been the case at any other time since the kaiser. to save his skin, deserted the army more than four years ago. The demonstrations held yesterday in front of the refchstag bullding, os- tensibly to protest against the occu- pation of Essen, developed into pure- nationalist meetings such as were held in the early days of the war. Several extreme nationalists openly preached a war of revenge again France and Belgium, and no attempt was made by the police to stop them prevent the meetings from o tinuing.

C, MONDAY, JANUARY 15 71923 ENGLISH COAL ORDERED BY GERMAN INDUSTRIES Purchases Made Before French Oc cupation in Anticipation of Action Subsequently Taken. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, January 16.—Anticipating French occupation of the Ruhr region, German industrial and manufacturing interests ten days ago began placing | orders for English coal, and the com- Ing week will see a still further in- crease In the purchases of forelgn fuel. Evidence of this was supplied in the late unofiicial trading in foreign money Suturduy, when the dollar touched 10,900 marks. Bourse circles are predicting a further rise Monday. The present orders for English coal are viewed as emergency purchases, as there still is a pronounced feeling in industrial circles that the Ruhr situation will result in some grrange- ment by which the normal output will be definitely safeguarded. There seems to be a strong belief that the French hardly will risk the labor trouble which would inevitably re- sult from a closing down of the mines. “In_another day or So the French | probably will take an hour off to fig- ure out just whether the present game {s worth the candle,” sald one | of the leadlng German industrialists to- day. “As Frenca industry is seriously in need of coks, this product can be vouchsafed o) through unoh%lrucl- ed operation of the Ruhr plants.” The leader sald he was voicing the sentiment prevalent among the Ger- man leaders of industry, who ap- parently still hope the French either will evacuate the Ruhr urea or per- mit the Germans to remain in full | control. e s A toy balloon released at St. Louis came down in Illinols, 300 miles away.
