POLICEMEN ROW TO SCENE,

I've Taken Poison, I Want te
Die," Jeseph Powers Says
When Dragged Inte Beat
Driven desperate by a physician's nd
ttce that he was suffering from a seri
ous disease, Jeseph Powers, twenty
two years old, 8307 Pcnrose nvenue,
tried te commit suicide shortly nftcr
fl-30 o'clock this morning by leaping
from the Wnlnut street bridge Inte the
Schuylkill lllvcr.
At the Polyclinic Hospital where he
as token after being rescued by po
lice, Powers sold he was employed by
tie American Stores Company and had
Uken the morning off te visit a doctor
who has an office in Market street near
Fifth.
The physician, he said, told him he
was in a sorleus condition and after
(uggeitlng treatment gave him a email
bottle containing a liquid te rub en his
arm. When Powers reached the street
once mere he wns almost frantic and
determined te end his life.
In an automobile, said te have been
borrowed by him, he drove te the mid
dle of Walnut etreet brldge where he
alighted and, after draining the con
tents of the bottle, which he believed
te be poison, poised for several seconds
en the brldge rail, and then plunged
downward, striking the water flat en
bis back.
Patrolmen See Death Leap
Patrolmen Sydney Miller nnd Jehn
McFnrlnnd, attached te the pollce beat
Jteyburn, which was lying about COO
yards from the bridge, witnessed the
death plunge. They launched a small
jowbeat and went te the spot where
they had seen Powers strike. Powers
came te the surface when they were
pevcrnl yards distant. Miller quickly
threw off his ceut and shoes and leaped
into the river.
He reached the drowning man as he
wns going down a second time nnd threw
Ms arms about Powers' neck.
They struggled in the water until
McFarlnnd arrived with the rowboat
nnd two policemen lifted Powers out of
the water.
As he lay in the bottom of the beat
Towers whispered :
"Why didn't you leave mc ulenc?
Pre taken poison and want te die."
When the patrolmen reached shore

Footsore Russian Refugee te

SITS WEARILY IN SLIPPERS
"Hardships? Hardships are things
te he overcome."
Such is the indomitable spirit of
Princess Elizabeth Tschcrnltschcw,
widow of n Russian nobleman who was
crucified by the Bolshevik!, refugee,
stowaway and prospective American
citizen.
The princess arrived In this city
penniless yestcrdny after walking from
Washington, where slip interviewed
Sccrctnry of Laber Davis. It Is her
intention te push en te New Yerk to
morrow, there te establish the place of
her birth beyond further question, and
prove her right te citizenship.
Today she sits with badly swollen
feet in the Heuse of Industry, 710
Catharine street, where she was given
shelter upon her nrrival. footsore and
weary, but with an unflagging deter
mination te accomplish her purpose.
She is n slight, erect woman of forty,
with a pair of light gray eyes of re
markable brilliancy nnd intensity.
When she speaks of the plans which she
hns pursued throughout her long and
hazardous flight from central Russia te
this country, they fairly blaze.
"That Is nothing," she said ns she
looked down nt her swollen feet, en
cased in felt slippers. "When I think
of some of the horrible things I have
seen done by these brutes te helpless
women nnd bnbles tilings tee ghnstlv
te speak of I am only thankful that
1 am here with se little te hurt me."
Hopes te Regain Station
The imprint left upon her fnce by
her life, the like of which Is te be found
only in the most romantic e nefvcls. is
unniistiiknble. Her habitual expression
is ene of sadness, tempered with oc
casional whimsical Hashes, and domi
nated ut all times by a subdued air of
resolve. ...
Never for a moment does she doubt
that she will win back that position
III life which wns se rudely tern from
her when the Ces-sacks came pouring
through the gate of their estate at
Unrsznn. Never for nn instant does she
admit tiie Impossibility of regaining the
vast fortune controlled by her murdered
husband in the 1'ral copper mines.
"I knew the ropes in Russia with
the BeMievlkl as well as with the old
regime," she says, "and I knew the
loe-hole through which I shall draw out
every ruble of our property.
"When I have done that, I shall take
steps te reward all these who have
helped me In my flight."
She paused, and her expression hard
ened. . ,, ,
"It Is all a mntter of patience," she
said slowly. "Patience te wait for just
the right moment te strike for what
ever It Is you seek.
"That is why I like the game of
poker se well. 1 have never played it,
but It seems te me the Ideal game
for that sort of patience which is
necessary te win that and nerve. 1
shall learn it. 1 think."
"Yes, and 1 shall net forget these
who have done such terrible tilings te
me and my husband. 1 never forget.
That is mv most marked characteris
tic. There is one I shall net name

WOMI FACTOR
Failure of Brokerage Firm, In
volving 16,000 Clients, One
of Biggest Yet
TWO NOTORIOUS GAMBLERS
FIGURE IN WEIRD TANGLE
Girl Jilted by Fuller, Who Sued,
Says It's Well World Learns
His Character
A dramatic story of a pretty
weman's: fury,, racing, card playing
nnd high finnnre is said te lie back
of the failure of K. M. Fuller & Ce.,
stock brokers, fiO Bend street, New New
Yerk, who had nn office in the Wlde
ner Building here. The ever-fluctuating
"Mex Pete" oil stock also Scares
In the crash that Involves 10,000 clients
of the Arm.
The firm went Inte the hands of a
receiver Tuesday. Ancillary receivers
were appointed In tU!s city yesterday by
Judge Dickinsen In the United States
District Court. They nre Samuel
Strasbeurgcr and T. Ewing Montgom
ery, whose bends were fixed at $1000.
Mere than COO local customers will bear
part of the estimated $5,000,000 Iebb.
In number of creditors the failure
is one of the most disastrous In Wall
Street history. It is believed that
about $2,000,000 can be salvaged. The
failure of the bend house, which wns a
member of the Consolidated Stock Ex
change, is comparable with the failure
of E. D. Dler & Ce., with the differ
ence that whereas criminal action is
Erobab1eln the cese of Dler, it would
c difficult te prosecute en customers'
complaints against Fuller owing te the
foresight of the Fuller ntterncys.
Partners Ilel Weird Careers
Additional detnlls of the strange ca
reers and iisoclntlens of Edward M.
Fuller and Willlnm Francis McfSec In
creased today the sensation of the sud
den failure nf their house.
These additional details added te the
astonishment that the two men had ob
tained membership en the Consolidated
Exchange. The name of a prominent
New Yerk politician, who Is said te
have "fixed it" for Fuller nnd MrGee
te obtain admission te the exchange,
wns freely mentioned in Wnll Street.
It was hinted that his interest was
stimulated by a woman.
Perhnps the real cause of the many
revelations concerning Fuller's charac
ter is a young woman who is suing him
for breach of premise. She is Miss
Nellie Black. 245 West Seventy-Fifth
street. New Yerk. At the hotel where
she Is staying in Atlantic City she said
this morning :
"I am glad the bankruptcy came. It
Is well that the public has found out
what kind of a mnn Fuller is."
Anil through Miss Black the name of
Arneld Rethsteln, the gnmbler, wns
brought into the background of the fail
ure by her attorney, Geerge R. Simp Simp
eon, 03 Park row, New Yerk,
Duped, Says Miss Black
Rethsteln, who recently announced
his retirement from gambling, acted ns
Fuller's crony nt the racetrack and ns
his "fixer" In his personal relations,
Simpsen said.
Hew Rethsteln dealt with Miss Black
and hew this dealing led up te the
sensational scene In Fuller's office re
cently was related by Simpsen.
"After Miss Black had sued Fuller
for breach of premise Rethsteln called
en her and said he would give her $10,
000 te call the suit off. He tricked her
into giving him u general release, with
out giving her the full amount. He
gave her a check for $5000, made out
by Mrs. Rethsteln. When she asked
for the ether $5000 he laughed at her
and taunted her with being a ninny for
signing the release.
"Miss Black has told me that Fuller
nnd his associates cleaned up hundreds
of thousands of dollars en the Snnfnrd
Memerinl Stakes at Sarategn in 11)20.
Lnftii8, the jockey who rode Man e'
War in that race, was afterward sus
pended following n second suspicious
ride. Man ' War wns beaten by I'p
fet nfter being left at the barrier. The
lace caused a great scandal.
Found Marked Cards
"Such horse racing was net the only
gambling with which Fuller wns con
nected. A year age, after he had
packed a suitcase, Miss Bleck found u
pack of marked cards. When she re
fused te give them up Fuller hit her
ncrnss the face with u cane. Anether
racetrack story relates that Rethsteln
owed Fuller S 10.000 en a gambling
transaction, matched him for $S0,000
or nothing und lest,
But Fuller, when asked nheut these
rumors this morning, while sealed in u
corner of the Andre Restaurant ut 111
West. Fifty-seventh street, denied
thorn emphatically, lie told his Inter
viewer "what wus what'1 in the stories
of gambling, the woman in the case,
nnd frenzied finance.
"Mexican Pete did it," the bankrupt
broker calmly observed when the ques
tion wns put te him as te what he at
tributed his failure.
"I suppose I lest ninybe u million
mid a half dollars In Meiicun Petro
leum. I sold it short when tl was around
l.'IH te RIO. It went te 20 1. Yeu knew
what that means. I am almost "cleaned"
new.
"My personal account? Whv. I'm
net worth $1000 new. I uin figuring
just hew much can be given te mv
clients out of the nssets.
((lilt Pitting Races
"This talk about my being mixed up
in horse racing is all bosh," u (.(,,
"The enlv connection I have had with
Arneld Rethsteln has been purely u
seclul one. He hns never done any bet
ting efTiny kind for me. I i)itir playing
the i aces a jenr age when the market
wvnt against me.
Mr. Fuller refused te discuss his re
lations with Miss Black.

Is said, however, te nave unnmueu

The most menacing feature of the
situation from the previsional povern pevern

insurgents are developing nctivitles
along guerrilla lines, pnrtieulnrly In the
form of nmbushes. Many of the In
