Interested In the case from the start.

Think Man IsEx-ConvIct
City detectives, co-operating with
t Iiq state police and the postofflce ln
Mieitors, have dug up tho record and
nllascs of a man they hope to identify
as rascol.
The photograph, Bcrtlllion record and
hUtory of this man have been sent; to
ihe Federal Building for comparison.
The man, the city detectives believe,
N the same individual as Pascol is
known in the records ns Augusto Pas
imale, of West Fifty-third street, Ntw
ork, and Ninth street near Vine,
litis city. He was known also ns John
IVns and Harry Williams.
He was arrested .Tune 12, 1010, on n
i barge of having stolen clothing nnd
alarm clocks from Morris Skclnick, 014
Vine street. On June 20 of that year'
Judge Aiulenried sentenced him to n
lerm of nine months. He got out of
Mil March 2(1. 1020. Ho is said to
have served jail sentences nlso in Elmira
and Newark.
Mrs. rioicni'c Mcssncr. proprietor of
the Ninth street house, said the de'crln
lion of 'Tin- Crank" closely tallies
with that of Pasqualc. '
She wns borne out in tills by Dotcc
liws McCluro npd Long, of the Elcv
inth and Winter btrccts station, who
arrested Pnsqunle for the store rob
bery. I-ast j ear, McClure said. Pasquale
was smooth shaven, but on Mnrch 20
'( this jear, when he visited the sta
tion house to recover valuables left
there when he received his nine-month
sentence, he hnd a moustache.
rhe place where Pascol is now hidden
remains a mystery. It has been rumored
he. is being moved from place to plee,
but this, is not generally believed. He
probably is being held by the stnto po
lice In some place not far from Phila
jWphin nnd within easy distance of
Norristown.

Atoy said he did not think the arrest

said 'I would expect to find accom

'Another thing I would like to have

have picked out the Coughlin baby."
Mr. McAvoy mado it plain that he
as not at liberty to tell all ho knew.
He answered affirmatively when asked
whether Pascol was trying to buy his
ireedom in exchango for revealing the
PUce where the Coughlin baby is hidden.

ROPER SAYS TALK
OF
Councilman Not Satisfied With

MAXIMUM OF POLITICS
AND MINIMUM' OF EFFORT
Deplores "Pussy.-Footing" on
Street Cleaning, Bridge and
Other Vital Projects
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Copvrloht, 1910, lu PuMle Ledger Co.
Councilman W. W. Roper, of Gcr
mantown, left this morning for a
months vacation.
During his absence he will visit a
number of cltlcsf' including several in
Canada, for the purpose of Investigat
ing personally their methods of street
cleaning.
As chnirmau of .Councils committee
on public wclfnre he will also look Into
this department of municipal manage
ment as operated in other communities.
'Before leaving Councilman Roper
discussed with considerable freedom and
great earnestness the trend of city af
fairs, particularly the work of Council
and tho new administration in their re
lation to interest, now commanding
public nttentlon.
Not Satisfied With Results
"I was elected on the reform ticket,"
said Councilman Roper. "I have gone
along nnd supported the program as a
member of the administration party. I
confess, however, that I am not satrs
fled with results at the end of seven
iiHMiiun vi my iithc ivrm uiruuuvi jwv-vH
"There has been more, talk than work.
There hag been too much scattering of
effort nnd not enough concentration on
Important subjects in whichthe people
are vitally Interested. There has been
a maximum of so-called practical pol
itics and a minimum of practicalen
deavor to make good the promises in our
platform.
"I do not mean this as a criticism
of Mayor Moore's administration. He
has had a difficult tank to perform. I
appreciate, too, tho fact that the cle
ment of time must play n great part
In any forward movement for the ben
efit of the city. Yet at that I do not
think that we and I speak of the party
as a whole have made the most of our
opportunities. ' Wc have encouraged
procrastination instead of progress ; too
much pussyfooting and too little in the
way of practical results.
"In saying this I am not trying to
evade my own share of the responsi
bility. As a member of Council and a
part of the administration I am charge
able with dereliction the same as any
other member of Council, which is the
governing body.
"But the time has come when the
public expects concrete results some
thing In the way of a lasting, definite,
constructive policy.
"Take the matter of the municipality
doing its own street cleaning as an ex
ample. "For seven months virtually nothing
has been accomplished toward fulfilling
the mandate of the new charter. The
subject has not even reached a stage
in all that time where there has been
a full and frank discussion In the coun
cllmanlc or any other public body.

Failure to comply with the ultimatum,
Chlsholm said, would result in the suit
for $100,000 that he 1ms filed.
For two years Chlsholm battled with
his rival, also a married man. for the

London, Aug. 5. Sovfet Russia con
cluded a secret treaty with Germany con
cerning Poland a few weeks before the
great oltcnslve began, says a corre
spondent of the London Times. He
claims he has secured the information
from "excellent authority."
The treaty, It is asserted, contained
the following provisions :
"ujissia, without interference from
Germany, would be allowed to appro
priate oil or Poland's arms, munitldns,
rolling stock nnd foodstuffs.
After the conquest of Poland, permis
sion would be given Russln to send a
number of Bolshevik commissioners into
that country to control the export of
Polish supplies of all kinds.
Russia would then nnilnrtnlro in mm.
pletcly evacuate Poland In favor of Ger
many, which would hold the country
as a guarantee against future credits
to Russia In return for German goods
and German labor.

Russia withdraws from Poland she will
leave this Polish army, permitting Ger
many 'to tako such stcns.as.she can

was made today by -Thomas F. Wnt

committees in rolling up nn enormous
mnjority here for Senator Harding nnd
the entire Republican ticket.
The announcement was regarded as
highly signiflennt because there has
been talk of n citizens' committee, prob
ably bended by Mayor Monre, which
would work for Harding while Ignoring

One prnctical question that would
