STRESENANN BANGS " HI FIST ON TABLE (Continued from First Page) Dr. Stresemann said he had lis- tened with amazement to the re marks made by the Polish foreign minister because he saw in them a spirit of hatred againat the German minorities, Showing evidence of ‘being deeply moved as he. began his speech, Dr. Stresemann gradually got control of himself as he went on. He insisted it was not an abuse for the parents of German children in Polish 8i- lesia to seek redress for their wrongs and that if numerous petitions were reaching the lcague protesting against the refusal of Poland to al- low German children to enter Ger- man minority schools, it was mere- ly because the parents were trying to protect the educational and re- ligious rights of their children. “Zaleski referred to a case of high treason in Polish Upper Si- lesia, but high treason is ofttimes merely love for one's country which many of us will understand,” Dr. | Stresemann continued in ringing tones. “If the league ef nations sudports the view that parents can- not make use of, their legal rights of protests, then one of the strong- est. pillars of the league will have crumbled. The minority of peoples looks to the league for. protection and if they get the idea that the league is not disposed to Msten to them, then perhaps many people will reconsider their opinions and reconsider their reasons for joining the league.” Foreign = Minister ~ Briand of France, presiding, secemed quick to see danger in the ‘incident, the like of which has never before taken place in the history of the council. Speaking with great solemnity, M. Briand said he did net wish the council to separate under a bad im- pression and that he hoped no false interpretation of the day's happenings would go throughout the world. Nothing, he said, would permit anybody to suppose that the league of nations or its council would abandon the sacred cause of minority peoples. \ On the contrary treaties existed which must be scrupulously followed and perhaps some method might be found for a more rapid settlement of minority difficulties. ‘Today’s exciting incidents follow- ed consideration of a large number of petitions from German residents in Polish Silesia accusing Poland of refusing admission of thcir children to German minority schools.

Traceski, at which time %he de- fendant promised to pay the amount in 4500 installments in five vears, mortgaging property on Glen street and Brook street.

The trus- tees warned him not to mention the name of the mother church, or any of her shepherds, but despite these warnings the priest continued to maintain a friendly attitude towards the pope in his sermons, it is said, unt] finally he was made to under- stand that his services would no longer be required. To those with whom hc was in- timate. he explained his attitude that he could not break entirely from his original belief in the mother church after having spent more than 80 years in her service, and when it became evident to him that he would be compelled to leave, he wrote to the head of the Greek-Catholic church in Philadelphia and ex- plained the situation.

State police officers claim he has jbeen collecting money over a period of two years for ‘protecting” an Avon cider mill owned by Armando Lattizori. Higgins, who lives at 32 Cedar street, and a friend, Lewis Gorsko, who has been bound over an ac- cessory, were arrested Wednesday night at the mill after a trap had been set by the police in coopera- tion with th: mill owner, and mark- (ed bills were taken from his pocket. | One of the two state policemen who made the arrests, Albin Backiel, was a fifth ward member of the com- | mon council while Higgins was serv- ing as a member of the city plan commission in this city, Higgins was held in bonds of $2,000 for ap- pearance in superior court and Gors- ko wes held in bonds of $1,000, The testimony introduced in the town court at Avon charged Higgins with having offered protection to Lattizori 4wo years ago and of hav- ing accepted sums aggregating $600 for keeping state policemen from the cider mill in the interim. ‘Wednesday night, state police- men marked $24 in bills and hand- ed them to the cider mill owner. Shortly afterward, Higgins drove up, talked with Lattizori for a few mo- ments, then received and pocketed the bills, it is alleged. Dolicemen Backiel and Parrott, who had se- creted themselves, placed him un- der arrest and also brought Gorsko to headquarters. The Lills were taken from Higgins pocket and pr duced as evidence in court. Higgins has been a real estate op- erator in this city for more than a quarter of a century. He was ap- pointed to the city plan commission in 1916 by Mayor George A. Qui ley, and was reappointed in 1924 Mayor A. M. Paonessa.
