STRANG CONFESSES
NORTH PEMN CRASH: r F
"Broadway Butterfly" Paying
Teller Pleads Guilty in Quar
ter Sessions Court
REVEALS IN DETAIL HOW
FINANCES WERE TANGLED
Understood to Have Implicated
Many Others in "Get-Rich-Quick"
Schemes
Elwood H. Strnng, former paying
'teller of the North Penn Hank, lins
made a complete confession of the
methods of tangled finance which led
to the financial crash of that Insti
tution last July.
The dapper young man, known as
n "Broadway butterfly" and a "high
flyer," pleaded guilty today to four in
dictments before Judge Martin iu Quar
ter Sessions Court No. 1. Sentence
was deferred.
The indictments charged making false
entries in the books of the bank, con
spiracy to defraud, embezzlement as
teller and larceny and embezzlement ns
""employe of the bank of , hecks amount
ing to more than $300,000.
Involves Many Others
Strang, broken in spirit after wcekR
ot confinement in Moynmcnsing Prison,
Is said to have implicated numerous
other persons In the "get-rich-quick"
activities that stripped mnay depositors
of their life savings,
' Quick action on the admissions made
by the young man, who once posed as
a wealthy 'jeweler of this city, was
promised this afternoon by Joseph H.
Taulane, assistant district attorney.
Mr. Taulane would not disclose the
revelations attributed to Strang beyond
, saying they were sweeping in their scope
and cleared up a number of perplexing
questions raised by the investigation.
It is said that the confession has
strengthened the hand of the commons-wealth
In the scries of prosecutions in
augurated by the district attorney.
'Prominent among -the men arrested
since the bank was closed July 18 are
Charles A. Ambler, former insurance
commissioner of Pennsylvania, and
Daniel T.afean, one time state' banking
.commissioner.
Several officers of the wrecked bank.
including Louis Michel, president, and
Ralph T.vMoyer, cashier, were indicted
by the September grand jury.
Strang Taken to Court
Judge Martin was disposing of rou
tine matters in Quarter Sessions Court
today when Strang was led in,by Major
Samuel O. Wynne, assistant chief of
the district attorney's detective force.
The former teller, who was caught
in New York while filling a cabaret
engagement as a "Russian dancer," was
dressed In a dark blue suit and had
a black derby hat.
On motion of Mr. Taulane, Judge
Martin accepted Strang's plea of guilty
on the four Indictments. The assistant
district attorney asked that sentence
be deferred and the court agreed.
After the formal 'plea had been en
tered, Strang was taken back to the
district attorney's office. Although
nervous in court he regained his com
posure in the prosecutor's office and
chatted with Major Wynne.
Later he was returned to his cell in
Moyamcnslng prison.,
Whllo Strang was on his way to
jail, where ho has been held under
$35,000 ball, the District Attorney's
office announced details of his confes
sion would be withheld for the present
because others are implicated by it.
Strang probably will be the state's
star witness at the trials resulting from
the bank smash.
Strang's attitude of defiance follow
ing his arrcst, detectives say, gradually
changed in his cell at Moyamensing
until finally his assurance deserted him
entirely and he talked without reserve.
The former teller's appearance before
Judgo Martin was entirely unexpected
today. His plea of guilty will shorten
somewhat the district attorney's pro
ceedings against the baifk wreckers. It
Is understood that Mr. Taulane had
him enter his formal plea today as a
"preliminary, to the speedy trial of others
Indicted In the case.
Louis Michel, former president of the'
bank and head of a baking establish
ment at Thirty-first and Diamond
streets, declined to mako any comment
on hearing of Strang's admission of
guilt. "You had better see my lawyer,
J. Washington Logue, about, it," he
said.
"I never comment In the newspapers
'on cases," said Sir. Logue.
BONFIRE FATAL TO CHILD

that the count would proceed smoothly
and probably end today or tomorrow.
"Boxes already opened," said Sir.

Washington, Oct. II. -(Mil of the con
ferences e-President Tnft has held
with the mild reserwitionist Republicans
lins come a plan to modify tho Lodge
McCumber reservation to Article N of
tlie pence treaty, which President Wil
son rejected in tho West.
When this new reservation has been
drafted, the plan is to nsk Secretary
Lansing to submit it privately and In
formally to England, France and Japan
and ask their opinions whether the
reservations in any way niter the
loyeniint or iiorcl. clurlf) it.
If this plan succeeds and if the
foreign powers are of the opinion that
the reservations require no action by
them it is hoped that a Senate majority
can be found to accept the modifica
tions. Ah it is now. although both Repub
licans and Democrats are agreed to push
the treaty to a vote, there Is no ma
jority in sight for an) program of res
ervations. The Republicans arc as
badly split ns ever. Senator Lodge is
not sure ot the votes of either wing of
Ills pnrtyf It is not likely that Sena
tors Johnson nnd Itoruh, and perhaps
some others, will accept reservations
