ELW00D N. STRANG SPENT
LAVISHLY, IT IS ASSERTED
Accused of Using Three Names
and Pos'ing as Wealthy
Jeweler
Living- in princely style, purchasing
n $10,000 home In Cynwjd, sporting
hree automobiles, lavishing jewels
this on his $35 a week bank clerk's
salary.
Elwood N. Strnng, covered by detec
tives from the district attorney's of
fice, at a beach-front hotel in Atlantic
City, is said to have done these things
while working at the scuttled North
l'enn Tlnnk.
Strang, the dashing paying teller who
always 'carried rolls of money in his
pockets and posed under three names,
left the city Saturday.
The bank examiners want him to ex
plain certain transactions and manipu
lations at the North Penn. Therefore
detectives have trailed his $.1500 auto
mobile to Atlantic City, while others
have uncovered a Wnliingford life which
pales the "hero" of fiction.
The bank examiners wish to learn
whether Strang is the man accused by
Walter O. Col flesh, a $2.1 -a-week clerk,
who has confessed falsifjing records as
the. tool of Ralph T. Moycr, the cashier
now held in $25,000 bail.
sMvKcn "Colflesh -was 'on the witness
tand Tuesday in the Moycr hearing,
he said that he received debit and credit
slips "from the teller's cage" by which
depositors' money was juggled by some
one in. the bank.
Posed as Jeweler, Charge
Moreover, the bank examiners wish
to ask Strang whether he gave a iormcr
wife one of Moyer's. blank checks and
told her to fill in the amount.
They also want to know whether he
Is the man who, nccording to Mrs.
John S. Dewald, 2718 North Thir
teenth street, a former mother-in-law,
posed as a wealthy jeweler, and lav
ished money on his first wife, and gave
the second the $10,000 home.
The state authorities have uncovered
,t much of Strang's career intoday's in
vestigation. First they learned that he
.formerly went under the name of Fos-
.. tf,.n Kfrnnir thpn Pnldwell. Mrs
I v- Dewald says that he married her dnugh'
tcr Catherine on .lime 2.'i, 1017, but
that cruel and barbarous treatment led
his wife to divorce him on February
38, 1010.
During their married life Strang gave
Ibis wife numerous jewels and on one
occasion, Mrs. Dewald says, he handed
Kcr a blank check, feigned by Moyer,
Hand told her to fill in any nmount to
purchase a player-piano.
The family nlways were suspicious
of the man's actions; he always dis
played large suras of money, ran'thrco

on other matters since the latter's re

not been discussed nnd the senator
knows that Mr. Moore 1ms expressed
himself against being n riindidate.

Washlngon. July .11. The French
treaty appears to be dead. The only
nrgument for it is sentimental, and sen
timent is n delicate llower which has no
place to grow in this garden of personal
nn(l i.,,ni ,,,., t ,,-.,..

You rend in the story books of the
red avenger who stopped to shed a tear
over the keepsnke of n child, nut
these red avengers nt the Capitol have
no such softness in their hearts.
, This French treaty, if jou may be
lieve its apologists, is a sort of inter
nntionnl keepsake. It is a testimonial
to our ancient friendship for France.
Called "Oraccful Act"
It would be. so runs the only argu
ment for its adoption, a "particularly
graceful act" to give it to France, be
cause France would appreciate it,
quite harmless, quite insignificant,
quite supplementary to the league coin
pact, meaning nothing except to a
country hungry for affection from a
country brimming w(th affection. Th
treaty might he accepted,beeausc .to
accept it would he a "nice thing to do."f
Rut the Semite Is not in n mood to
do nice tilings, especially when the nice
thing is to be done in the name of
Woodrow Wilson. It dislikes Wilson
I too much. It lias forborne Its wrath
i too long, under pressure of war cir
cumstances, to stay its hand out of sheer
gi nelousnoss.
' Opposes Wilson's Program
It menns to damage as much ns pos
sible the program the President brought
buck from France, without imperiling
the interests of the country nnd, also,
without imperiling the interests of the
Republican party.
The "French treaty Is a beautiful little
piece of poetry, as presented by the
'Picsident nnd his friends, springing
from our sympathy for our ancient
friend. It menns nothing except as the
expression of our feelings. We afforded
Frnnre every possible protection in the
league of nntions, but then we have af-
for(Ip(, otIlpr nton, Pxaetiy as much.
protection.
And France is France. Let us do a
little graceful something in addition for
Frnnce, throw in a rose, a tribute of
verses, n kiss on both cheeks, just to
show our love. Hence the treaty.
That is how the President's nrgu
ment. or one might almost say, npology,
works out. Yesterday this little bit of
international lneliness lay exposed to
view. Washington passed it by tin
inoi ed.
Wilson Ii Issue
The issue here is not France but Wil
son, Ids honest) nnd competence as an
international guide of this country. If
the bitter business of settling accounts
with Mr. Wilson were not on hand,
men might have time for emotions re
garding Frnnce.
When the President agreed with M.
Clemenceau to recommend a treaty with
Franc, he counted upon the historie
feeling of America for France. Rut he
counted without knowing his own eoun-
try. There is no response to the appeal
to do something graceful for France.
i.iKo every natiou which entered th
wnr, the t'nited States has come back
jittie ro,l. The fighting Itself has
maii0 too large a draft upon our na-
tormi emotions. We no longer respond .
to tne old stimuli. In a few years the
cna nf mmmnn KiilTerlms will nroh-
nWy draw the two countries together'n,'
nnc(f mQvf, a that a sentimental nppesi
lnaiYf, i tilp nBme of Krance will a'gaia
, reach the American heart.
