Lieutenant Colonel Mechnn. "It shows
to what lengths the other side is obliged
to go. Ever since I have voted I have
been n Republican nnd hnve been so
registered. The records, which arc open
to eveobody, will clearly prove that.
"Furthemoro I never served ns a
member of the Rjnn campaign com
mittee, aud if my name appenred in
the membership of that committee it
was put there without my knowledge. If
my memory Berves me, I was in the
United States military service nt that
time on the Mexican border."
Lieutenant Colonel Meehnn, with the
other candidates, went into the usual
war board conference with Mr. Moore
this morning at the campaign head

IfllLLK AT STAKE
Congress Asked to Save Them
by Restoring Mrs. Do Mumm
to Citizenship
HER HUSBAND A GERMAN
Bu n S!aj7 Corresponrfenf
Washington, Aug. aS.The wheels
of fate grind slowly, and so does the
legislative mill of Congress, but upon
the speed of this ponderoua machine
rests the fortunes of Mrs. Frances Sco
vlllc do Mumm, n Kansas woman, In a
race for millions nt the close of nn in
ternational romance shattered by the
world war. Unless this beautiful Amer
ican girl, who in 1013 married one of
the scions of the De Mumm family, fa
mous the world over for their French
wines, can be restored to citizenship
of her native land before the l-Teuch
Cjovernment liquidates the property of
her Oermnn husbnnd, from whom she
is separated, she will lose her share of
the estate.
Congress is asked by n special reso
lution Introduced by Senator Arthur
Capper, of Kansas, to readmit Mrs. de
Mumm to the character nnd privileges
of n ritizen of the United States, so
that she may carry on her legal battle
for the estate as an American. The
French (Jovernment is swiftly levying
upon the estates of Herman nationals
to pay the henvy debt of reparation
nnd the last chapter of a romance of
two continents ipsolves itself into a
race, depending upon tho speed of ac
tion of the two governments.
Miss Frances Seovlllo, a daughter of
u. . iv. Hcoville, president of the
Citizens State Rank of Senecn, Kan.,
met Wnlther de Mumm, Oermnn wine
king, living in France nt St. Moritz, n
Swiss winder resort. She was famed
.... ...., uruuij, wring aescriDeu as a
RtriKtng brunette, tall and stately.
Artists were eager, to paint her nlcture
as the most perfect type of American
wuimiiinood.
u miner ie .Mumm wns noted not
only ns a millionn re wine mercl.nnt
but also ns a sportsman, nviator, bal
loonist nnd globe trotter.
Following a brief courtship and en
gagement, their marriage wns solem
nized in London, June 2, 1013. It wns
one of the notable social events of the
season nnd attracted international at
tention. The interest in the match was
heightened by the dramatic incident
which occurred a few mouths before in
Paris, when De Mumm was twice
wounded by Mrs. Marie Van Rensimer
Barnes, an American woman.
Rut the marriage proved a failure. At
the outbreak of the world war, the sym
pathies of the couple clashed and they
separated. Mrs. De Mumm took up
her residence in Switzerland, after her
big country estate on the Marne had
been overrun nnd destroyed by tho
Oermnn invaders. Her husband, true
to the traditions of his fatherland,
joined the stnff of Field Mnrahni ..
Hindenburg, to fight for his kaiser For
acts of bravery in action in Helgiuin
in- -, uwiiriien me iron Cross. Under
the terms of the treaty of penca, the
French Government will sell the vast
De Mumm properties in France from
which Mrs. De Mumm has been re
ceiving large sums under the separa
tion agreement with her husband, to
pay the claims of French citizens
against Germany.
If she can regain her American citi
zenship, she can claim the property in
France under her own right, but if
Congress foils to act before the Ficnch
Government disposes of the Dp Mumm
propertj, she will lose all her rights
to the vast vineyards.
Mrs. Dp Mumm returned to the
United States two weeks ago. and is
living nt Newport, R. I., awaiting the
outcome of her rnce for millions.

NORTH PHI ASSETS
Chief Prober of Wrecked Bank
Says Experts Have Nearly
Completed List
STRANG OCCUPIES CELL
Assets of the wrecked North Tenn
Bank will be made public within a few
days.
This announcement, for which deposi
tors have waited eagerly since the in
stitution failed, was made today by
Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey, In charge of
the bank investigation.
Colonel Tusey said his investigators
had been buB.v since last Thursday com
piling the list of nssets, and now had
them virtually completed.
Colonel Pusey made no forecast as to
the amount of the assets or the propor
tion of depositors' money which would
be saved.
William Morgan Montgomery, the at
torney representing Ralph T. Moycr,
accused cashier of the bank, said today
thnt his client would benefit by the ar
rest of Elwood II. Strang, who is now
nn inmate of a cell in Moyamenslng,
while he waits for some one to put up
$35,000 ball for hU? release.
Pleased at Arrest
"The return of the $365,000 in
checks found on Strang," said Mr.
Montgomery, "will relieve my client o
the charge of taking or destroying these
checks."
Mr. Montgomery denied thnt he had
been the go-between in the return of
Strang to Philadelphia.
The former teller, in Moyamenslng
under the heaviest bail bond imposed
on any of the men connected with the
failure of the North Penn Bank, prob
ably will be interrogated again today
by District Attorney Rotan and his
assistants.
Following his arrest, and before his
arraignment in pollcp court nnd the fix
ing of his bail, Strang is known to
have given valuable information to the
authorities.
The nrrest of a man who has figured
as one of the "men higher up" in
the bank smnsh is looked for in the
near future. Three other warrants art
in course of preparation, it is said, for
the arrpst of others declared to bo 1m
plicated.
Some Surprises Promised
This, the sixth week since the doors
of the North Tenn Bank were ordered
closed by Banking Commissioner John
S. Fisher, promises to develop sonic
"surprises."
Strnng, on a .$.1ii weekly salary, man
aged to marry tw'o women, buy ex
pensive homes, sport expensive clothes,
diamonds and motorcars, is declared al
ready to show the effects of his brief
confinement in Moynmensing.
The coarse food, principally bread and
beans, does not appeal to his epicurean
tastes, and the fact that lip has found
it impossible to obtnin the $35,000 bait
that would give him his temporary free
dom, is said to have made him moody
and despondent.
Gordon Promises Arrests
Asslstnnt District Attorney Gordon
Is authority for the statement thnt ad
ditional arrests will be made this week.
Asked whether any move was contem
plated to bring James J. Boland, of
New York and Scranton, a large debtor
to the bank, here, Mr. Gordon was si
lent. He said that he did not feel he
cared, at this time, to discuss future
plans.
