3 WOMEN HELD, MAN j
SOUGHT IN MURDERi
Camden Prosecutor Suspects
Riverside Italian in Connection
With Countryman's Slaying
Police and detectives throughout New
Jersey arc seekiug 1'iederick Dolce,
twenty-seven years old, Itivrrslde. N.
J., who is wanted by Charles A. AVol
xeiton. Camden couuty prosecutor, in
connection xvith the murder of Prank
Bonaiido, 101(1 South Sixth street, this
city. Three xvunien nrresled iu con
nection xvith the case are held as ma
terial witnesses.
,
Ilonando's body was found carlj
Thursday morning on Hilton road, Pen
sauken, outside Camden. For forty
eight hours the county prosecutor and
his detectives have been trying to solve
the mystery.
Mr. Wolverton said today that he
believes circumstantial evidence points
to Dolce as being concerned in Itoniiti
do's death. Investigations by the de
tectives, the prosecutor said, disclosed
that Itonnndo had jilted Josephine
Dolce, Frederick Dolce's nineteeu
j ear-old sister, xvho lived in Philadel
phia, at 1010 South Fnirhill street,
with her sister, Sirs. George Lobianco.
As the county prosecutor told the
story this morning, it is believed that
Oeorgc Lobianco, the brother-in-law,
objected to the attentions which Honnii
do was paying to the girl.
The lost time Itonando was seen alive,
according to Prosecutor Wolverton, was
xvhen he left his home, on South Sixth
street, with Dolce
The prosecutor's theory U that Dolce
was enticed to a lonely spot somewhere
in Jersey nnd murdered, and his body
taken by automobile to the place xvhere
it xvas found.
A description of Dolce has been sent
broadcast. lie is an Italian.
Early today Josephine Dolce, Itosinn
Dolce, wife of Frederick, nnd Marjc,
his niece, xverc taken into custody by
the police ns material witnesses. Prose
cutor Wolverton said that xvhen
Josephine xvas arrested she said "lie
got just what he deservei',"

Doubted by Hagemans
SEES HARD FEELING ARIE"
'
"I was amazed and nonplussed,"
Isajd Faul Hagemans, Belgian consul
general here, and president of the Phil
adelphia Consular Association, In referring-today
to the reports from Paris that
Helgtum's territorial claims had been re- '
duced by the Peace Conference dele
gates. "I cannot possibly believe the re-'
port." he said. "Doctor Dillon said
few days ago that the Belgian demands!
"t jii'iineu ami woum ue grained oymq
the conference. 1 am inclined to be- j(
neve me fleeuracy and logic of DoctO!
union s opinion rather than other re
ports. I look to see the statemen
repudiated.
I cauuot iKissibly bring myself, b;
nny reasoning, to find nnv lustlce I
such nu attitude on the part of the othe:
I'mvers represented at the Allied confer
ence. If the news is correct then I can
see no reason for it unless they desire t
fnvor Holland nt the expense of Hel
gllim. It looks to me ns thmi?li the
desire a strong Holland and Intend ti
maintain n wenk Helelum.
"And xvhat wns Holland's nttitud.
during the. war? Her primary nurnos
was to make millions and tp trade xvlthj

Utterly Inconsistent
"It is utterly inconsistent with th(
protestations nnd former attitude of th
Allies, l lie claims of Belgium are ab
solutely jut and arc not open to aigu
ment. They are unassailable and I
cannot make injscif believe that they J
have been refused.
"Belgium asks for the territory to
the south bank of the Scheldt river'
and for J.lmhurg, xvhere the population
arc fundamentally Belgium The Bel-''
gian simply cauilot llxc xvith the Hol
lander. They are of a different race
xvith a different language. They
i-j lire. ;
'd-JVfij
in th"
uncKwaru, e are progressive.
"The granting to us of Malmedy
ail our claims, is only a dron ii
bucket a territory about the size of
Chester county. It xvas the great now
ers after the Belgian revolution of 1830
which gave to Holland the territory tor
tne south of the Scheldt nnd half otl
I.imburg.'
"There xvas a reason for that then.
a reason utterly inconsistent with the
ideals for xvhlch this war xvas fought.
namely, to create a bulwark against the '
democratic dex-elopment which has
sprung forth in Belgium and to main
tain the dynastic powers in Kurope.

"If Belgium's demands arc refused

surprised at the failure to allot Bel
gium the large sums of money which
urc necessary to re-establish her del

her nnd she must have-it. ITowcver, I
feel that this side of the question will
