TWO MORE HELD
IN BURLINGTON
TRJIII ROBBERY
Poffenberger’s Father and
Brother Arrested—Ex-Avia
tor Drove Loot Away—Dia
monds Also Stolen.
Council Bluffs, la., Nov. 22.—An
other climax in the series of sensa
tional episodes occuring since the
night of November 13, when the spec
tacular $3,500,000 robbery of a mall
car on the Burlington transcontinen
tal flyer in Council Bluffs occurred,
resulted with the arrest of two more
men and the recovery of $8,000 more
of the money stolen from the
registered sacks_ 10 of which were
taken from the’ mail car. At the
same time government officials let it
be known that a nation wide search
is being made for Keith Collins, avi
ator in the United States army dur
ing the world war, for an alleged part
in the robbery. It Is said he drove the
loot away in an automobile.
The men arrested Sunday were:
Fred A. Poffenberger, 63, father of
Fred E. Poffenberger, who has been
held in the case several days, and
Fred A Poffenberger's son, Clyde
Poffenberger, 26, a Burlington switch
man. Their arrests followed admis
sions made by Fred A. Poffenberger.
Recover $8,000; Was Hidden.
Several hours after his arrest,
Clyde Poffenberger confessed that on
Monday following the robbery he re
ceived from his brother Fred, $7,000,
said to have been a part of the loot.
He told where he hid the money and
it was recovered by federal officers
in a private vault in the home of Mrs.
Ollie Jacobson, his motherinlaw, ac
cording to police. .
The elder Poffenberger, who had
been arrested earlier in the week and
released aftr severe grilling, admitted
early Sunday that lie had $1,000 his
son Fred had given him and said he
had buried it in a cornfield near his
home. This money was also recov
ered by government officials.
An important part which those un
der arrest declare was played is that
the former aviator drove the automo
bile in which the mail sacks were car
ried away from the scene of the rob
bery after the sacks had been thrown
from the train by Orville Phillips and
Fred Poffenberger. Merle Phillips en
gaged the enginemen in conversation
to divert tehir attention from the men
on the mail car, according to detec
tives.
Youths Plan Robbery?
Orville Phillips and Fred Poffen
berger, neither yet 20, planned the
robbery, according to confessions
they have made to Postoffice inspec
tor Claude Glenn of Council Bluffs.
Merle Phillips told of having seen
among the stolen securities three
drafts, one for $40,000, one for $25,000
and one for $15,000, and said these
were burned with other s'ecurities,
according to W. Noell, postoffice in
spector, with headquarters in St.
Louis. |
Formal charges have been filed
against three youths, two men and
one woman held in the case, as fol
lows:
Merle Phillips, Orville Phillips and
Fred Poffenberger. Fred E. Poffen

A. Daly and Hugh Reed, with hiding
stolen government property and aid
ing in the secretion of government
securities.
Diamond Brooches Are Returned. f
Federal officers said they had re- '
ceived through the mail three dia
mond brooches, part of the loot.
Merle Phillips when arrested, ac
cording to police, turned over to the
government two bonds, one issued by
the city of Bordeaux, France, for $100
and one $50 Liberty bond.
Postoffice Inspector Glenn has de
nied that he made a statement that
the bonds and securities burned were
valued at more than $5,000,000, it was
announced here Sunday night. Glenn
is said to have declared that he and
other postal inspectors estimate the
loss probably will total approximately
$3,500,000 and that while it is not
known how many bonds and securi
ties were burned the value of those
destroyed in this manner probably
will total several hundred thousand
dollars.
Federal agents declare that only
$33,000 in bonds and securities has
actually been recovered.
Case Far "From Being Cleared.
Fred E. Poffenberger, who was said
to have burned up more than $800,000
worth of bonds and securities in the
kitchen stove in his home, declared
Sunday he did not know how many
bonds he destroyed, but that the
value was enormous, according to po
lice.
Postal inspectors said they expected
it would be at least a month before all
the mysteries of the case are cleared
up and the persons guilty of part ia
the robbery are under arrest.

Bandit Car, St. Louisan
Shoots Officer.
St. Louis, Nov. >2 By the United

tomobile which was pursuing her
speeding machine was a bandit car,
Mrs. Samuel S. Scot* a prominent
society woman, shot and killed Patrol
man Charles J. Backer early Sunday
as he brought her car to a stop.
The shooting comes as a climax in
a wave of crime and banditry un
precedented in St. Louis. Mrs. Scott
was badly frightened by the fear of
being held up by one of the bandits
who have committed four murders
here within the last 72 hours, it was
declared by her husbana, who was
driving her when she killed the po
liceman. She was In so hysterical a
condition Sunday that she was not
told that she killed Backer.
Accompanied by another police
man, Backer saw tKe Scott automobile
speeding through the park. When the
police gave chase, Scott declares that
Mrs. Scott screamed that it was a
bandit car and askeJl him to go faster.
“When the police car drew along
side she grabbed my revolver,” he
said. “It was dark and the police
car cut in ahead of us and someone
-said, ‘What's your hurry?' Mrs. Scott
shot blindly through the curtains."
She was held under bond for the
coroner and Scott la charged with
carrying concealed weapons.

And Poltical and Military Men,
Imprisoned By Ex-Premier,
Are Liberated, Say Ad
vices From Athens.
New York, Nov. 22.—The most con
spicuous ministers under Venlzelos
have fled from Athens, together with
leading editors of the pro-Venizelos
press, according to cable messages re
ceived by Greeks in New York, who
turned out 4,000 strong to hold reli
gious services In celebration of the
fall of Venizelos and the probable re
turn of Constantine.
A cablegram received by S. J. Vlas
to, editor of the "Atlantis,” was as j
follows:
"Athens, Nov. 20.—Vlasto, New
York.
"Negreponte, Repoulis, Jafintaris
and Simos, last night departed se
cretly from here, going to Marseilles.
At the same time the call of security
of Giparis was dissolved and many of
its members have fled. All the po
litical and military men imprisoned
by Venizelos have been liberated from
jail. Athens is continuing to cele
brate with the greatest enthusiasm,
waiting from moment to moment the
news of the return of King Constan
tine. The chambers have been called
in next session for Thursday.
(Signed) "Ambelas.”
Negreponte was the minister of
finance, and Repoulis, Jafintaris and
Simos held cabinet portfolios.
According to Mr. Vlasto, informa
tion from Greece is that the Greek
financial system has bean reduced to
a state of chaos under Negreponte,
rumors having it that enormous
shortages were discovered.
The Call Security mentioned in the
dispatch was an organization under
Negroponte and secretly armed as a
guard of Venizelos.
While leaders among the Greek* In
Sioux City said last night they had
received no information of the flight
of the Venizelos ministry, although
they are keeping in close communica
tion with Athens via New York tele
graphic advices, they added was
only what might be expected after the
overwhelming defeat of that faction
at the Greek elections. Word they
have received has confirmed press dis
patches of an uneasy feeling among
the Greek populace as a result of the
announced intention of the allies to
exert every effort to keep former King
Constantine from resuming his reign.
CAPTURE BURGLAR
WHO BROKE JAIL
Cedar Rapids, la., Nov. 22.—The
police have Albert Conrad, much
wanted burglar, in their toils again.
Half of the police department sur
rounded him and his camp at the edge
of the cty Sunday morning and got
the drop on him before he was able
to draw a weapon. He probably will
be rushed to prison Monday. Conrad
sawed his way out of the Linn county
jail twice in the last year while wait
ing to be taken to prison to serve
five years' sentence for burglary. He
robbed a store in Iowa City a few
months ago and was sentenced to five
years in Fort Madison, and while be
ing taken there escaped from the
sheriff.
Blood hounds followed him for days
but he eluded them. Last Thursday
night he robbed a grocery within a
block of the police station, got a lot
of food and went to his camp at the
edge of the city, say police.
Detectives followed him the next
morning and shot at him, but he
dodged them.

DUBLIN WOW
Murders Done as Victims are
i n Bed—Docks Afire—
Street Battles On—“Hell
Breaks Loose,” Says London
Dublin, Nov. 22 (By the United
News).—A whirlwind of revenge
end murder swept through Dub
lin with unprecedented fury Sun
day, leaving a bloody trail of 24
dead and more than 100 wounded
on both sides.
Sinn Fein terrorism reached a
climax when 14 officers of the
crown were slain in their homes
in the early morning in simulta
neous raids conducted by bands
of Irish republicans. Black and
tan retaliation played its part in
the dc j of horror when a crowd of
6,OOT men and women watching a
footaall game at Croke park, were
swept by a storm of machine gun
bullets in which 10 persons were
killed and 60 or 70 were wounded.
A spirited defense of the Croke
park incident was issued by the
Irish office immediately following
reports in London that “hell had
broken loose" in Dublin. It was
claimed that the crown forces
surrounded the football park when
it was known that "bands of gun
men had made the park a ren
dezvous, using the game as a
cloak to their purpose." Three
thousand spectators were searched
for weapons and many were dis
armed. Reports from Dublin,
however, say that the black and
tans descended upon the park
with machine guns and armored
cars, and fired indiscriminately
into the mass of spectators,
wounding scores and creating a
panic in which other men and
women were killed or injured.
The killings of the 14 police,
army and legal officers and the
wounding of six others was car
ried out in a manner that leaves
no doubt as to the thoroughly or
ganized plan of assassination that
had been formulated by Sinn Fein.
It took place with dramatic sud
denness, the republicans sweep
ing into the houses where their
enemies were, for the most part,
still in their beds. Upon accom
plishing the slaying, the raiders
withdrew. None of the murderers
has been captured.
The first indication that a new cam
paign of terror was on came in with
the report that Captain Newberry’ had
been shot dead in his residence in
lower Baggot street. This report was
followed almost immediately by news
that three other officers had been
killed in a house in Morehampton
road. Simultaneously the Gresham
hotel reported two officers shot under
its roof.
Five Captains Are Murdered.
The whole south side of the city
seemed to have suddenly broken out
with murder. As the identity of the
victims was established it was evident
that a concerted drive was on by Sinn
Fein against officers suspected of be
ing In the government secret service.
In addition to Captain Newberry,
Captains MaeLean, Fitzgerald, Mc
Cormick, Thomas Smith and Saldow,
all in government service, were listed
on the roll of murdered.
With the first call the black and
tans got into action and sweeping
from their barracks into motor lorries
they drove into the south side. One
lorry load passed along Mount street
heard cries for help. Responding the
officers came upon a house under
Sinn Fein guard as the raiders com
pleted their bloody work inside.
There followed a battle between the
guards and the black and tans in
which two of the latter were killed
and several of the former wounded,
one Sinn Feiner being captured.
The reports of the murders, the
noise of the street fighting and the
dashing motor lorries bearing black
and tans through the affected sections
of the city, soon developed a near
panic. The police and military
combed the entire city, holding up
motorists and cyclists for question
ing. There was tremendous excite
ment among the citizens who feared
there would be a night of reprisals as
a result of the murders.
The Irish official statement de
clared "the murders were aimed at
seizure of incriminative documents.
Fourteen officials were killed and six
were wounded."
Were After Documents.
The Irish office issued a statement
after reports of the bloody affray had
reached London, declaring that gangs
of Sinn Fein gunmen had conducted
20 simultaneous raids on residence
of army officers, police officers, and
legal officials, killing 14 and wound
ing 60. The murders were done, the
Irish office said, in cold blood, while
the victims were in their beds or bed
rooms.—one in the presence of the
officer's wife.
“The object of these raids," the
statement continues, "was evidenyy
to recapture important documents
seized in the last 10 days. Many ar
rests have been made recently and
many of the documents would con
vict Sinn Fein leaders. Nearly all of
t,hose killed were engaged in the le
gal end of the proceedings.
“The police have learned that the
gunmen were massing in Dublin dur
ing the morning on the pretext of at
tending the match between Dublin
and Tipperary at Croke park.

_—BARNES
British Delegate, at League
Conference Today, Will E’e
mand Action on Russian
Situation.
, BY A. E. JOHNSON,
United Newt Staff Correspondent.
Geneva, Nov, 22.—George N.
Barnes, labor member of the British
delegation in the league assembly,
will bring the Russian and general
near-eastern situations before the
assembly as the "most important
question In the world, threatening a
renewal of general European war,"
he informed the United News.
Barnes criticises the league for
having failed to report why it did not
Intervene In the Russo-Polish war.
“Renewal of the war between Rus
sia and Poland is now imminent.’'
Barnes declared. The Poles are 300
miles beyond their legitimate frontier.
Sixty-nine Russian divisions are re
leased as a result of the defeat of
Wrangel, and should the Poles and
attempt to again Involve Europe in
warfare. Poland must he made re
turn to her ethnographical frontiers."
To Take Up Lithuanian Problem.
As the League of Nations assembly
reconvenes Monday, it is faced with
the first demand for the enforcement
of what amounts to the "war clause"
of the league covenant against one of
the league members.
Lithuania claims Poland is vio
lating the arbitration agreement and
has called upon the assembly to en
force article 16. Lithuania declares
General Zellgowskl's army of Poles
has been increased from two to 16
divisions, and is attacking Lithuania.
General Zellgowskl holds Vilna,
and claims to be a Lithuanian. He
refused to recognize the Lithuanian
government at Kovno, however, and
also Is refusing to be bound by the
arbitration agreement In the terri
torial dispute. His operations against
the Lithuanian government would be
to the advantage of the Poles, as
Zellgowskl claims the people of his
region do not want to be governed
from Kovno, and a plebesclte under
hla domination probably would mean
a vote In favor of Poland.
The league has already decided to
send a mixed body of troops to Vilna
for police duty during the plebesclte.
but the Lithuanians are now asking
for more drastic action.
Would Save Armenia.
One of the first subjects to be
taken up probably will be the motion
of Lord Robert Cecil for immediate
steps to save Armenia from the
Turks and the bolshevists.
Then will come the motion pre
sented by delegates of Spanish
speaking nationalities to give the
Spanish 'language equal official rec
ognition in league affairs with the
English and French.
BY HENRY WOOD.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Geneva, Nov. 22.—“The hour for
universal disarmament has not yet
arrived," M. La Fontaine, Belgian
delegate declared today, In address
ing the assembly of the League of i
Nations In public session.
La Fontaine maintained that the
economic situation is the most im
portant confronting the world, insist
ing upon the right of the league to j
“rest upon the strength of the nation
al armies which are at its disposal,
then it will be at the mercy of no
one."
“Prove Effectiveness to World.”
As the situation, now stands. La
Fontaine said, the league is com
posed of 42 states with armies num
bering millions and yet is unable to
save Armenia. He demanded for
mation of an international general
staff and immediate employment of
an international force, under the
league, in behalf of Armenia, "there
by demonstrating to the world the ef
fectiveness of the league."
Turn Forces to League.
Disarmament not being possible
now, the member armies and navies
should be placed at the disposal of
the league to form the basis for an
international force under the league,
La Fontaine said.
His remarks were greeted with tre
mendous applause.
Delegate Rowell, of Canada, criti
cized the league council, declaring it
had wasted time with “secondary
problems." He demanded immediate
settlement of the territorial dispute
between Poland and Lithuania.
“The council is on trial before the
world,” he said. “The typhus report
Is a humiliating confession of failure.
If the members of the council cannot
make pledges for their own nations
they had better resign and give way
to others.”
Rowell concluded with a warning
that unless the council is backed up
by a few “well done actions' it will !
cease to hold the respect ot the world

sel for the shipping hoard, declared
Sunday. -
Colonel Goff recently was named by
President Wilson as United States
shipping board commissioner from the
Great Lakes section. This appoint
ment, however, will not Interfere with
his prosecution of grafters, he said.
“It is and will be my one and single
purpose to run to cover every per
son employed in the shipping board or
emergency fleet corporation, man or
woman, clerk or official, who is guilty
of corruption, and to prosecute them
to the fullest extent of the law, aa
well as every private citizen, whether
he he tradesman, ship operator, claim
ant, attorney, lobbyist or solicitor,
who offers the glittering bribe or
sweetens his petition with gold." said
Colonel Goff.
Colonel Goff indulged in a bitter de
nunciation of graft. He said a man
who violates public trust Is “too
wretchedly craven to be a traitor,"
adding that by comparison "Judas Is
cariot is a saint and Benedict Arnold
a patriot."
Accusations against it. W. Bolling,
brotherinlaw of the president, and
their prompt denial by Bolling and
Admiral Benson, chairman of the
