NABS FIREBUG
AFTER LONG CHASE
[Continued from First Page.]
Rundell failed to turn up at Novem
ber court, the Fire Marshal's de
partment started to make diligent
search for the delinquent, and Dep
uty Lewis D. Buono, of Chester, who
had worked up a strong case against
the defendants, was put upon the
scent of the missing man. After
some very clever detective work, it
was found that Rundell and his
family were residing in Los Angeles,
California, and that the runaway
held an important position in one
of the big department stores of that
city.
The State Fire Marshal's depart
ment got in touch with Los Angeles
police authorities, but they replied
that Rundell could not be located in
the city, in which they were cor
roborated by the postal authorities.
The State Fire Marshal's depart
ment and Deputy Buono, being
sure of their ground, the latter was
sent to Los Angeles on the 7th of
March, who arrested Rundell ten
days later. The man was located
exactly where Deputy Buono had
ascertained he was employed.
Ready For Trial
After Deputy Buono had lodged
the prisoner in jail, the former pro
ceeded to Sacramento, the capital of
the state, where the Governor of
California honored the requisition
papers. Thus fortified, the deputy
returned to Los Angeles, and a few
days thereafter started across the
continent with his prisoner, in easy
stages. Rundell was placed in the
lockup at Athens last Friday and
the day following was lodged in the
county jail at Towanda. The trial
of the implicated men is set for the
second Monday in May.
Owing to the great extremity and
expense resorted to in the appre
hension of the prisoner, Auditor
General Snyder, mindful of the im
portance to the state of getting Run
dell back to Bradford county, agreed
to sustain the State Fire Marshal
in the payment of every legitimate
expense. First, however, it was
agreed upon that the Commission
ers of Bradford county should be
induced to pay a share. They were
of the opinion that the search for
Rundell would prove a "wild goose
chase" and refused to pay any part
of the expense. They agreed, how
ever, that upon the delivery of Run
dell into the hands of the Sheriff of
Bradford county they would pay the
entire expense. Yesterday Deputy
Buono arrived in Harrisburg with a
check for the full amount, which
was turned into the State Fire Mar
shal's fund. In suing out the bond,
the Commissioners of Bradford
county will realize the full amount
expended, so that in the end
DeWaters, it is believed, will pay
the whole "freight."
Ukrainian Soviets
Capture Odessa, Say
Advices From Kiev
By Associated Press.
Paris, April 9. The Ukrainian
Soviet troops have captured Odessa,
according to advices from Kiev;
transmitted by wireless from Mos
sow under date of April 7. The news
has not been officially confirmed.
I,ate dispatches indicate that Bol
shevik pressure against Odessa, the
great Russian port on the Black Sea
was increasing, and intimated the
imminent evacuation of the city by
the allied forces.
not considered of political signifi
cance. The statement reads:
Chinese Cause Disturbance
"A telegram from Murmansk says
that on April 7 a disturbance was
caused at Murmansk by Chinese
workmen, but it was soon put down
and was not considered significant
politically. The majority of the riot
ers most of whom were armed with
revolvers and knives, are now in cus
tody.
"A party of Red Finns twice at
tacked one of our posts south of
Segeja on April 7, but were both
times repulsed, leaving six killed
behind. We had no casualties. This
attack furnishes additional corrob
oration of the intention to launch
a simultaneous action by the Fin
nish legion and Bolshevik Finns.
Rus* Capture Red Patrol
"A Russian rifle regiment, which
is a part of the Allied forces in
Northern Russia has occupied Gap
navalok village, on the eastern shore
of the Bay of Onega, sixty miles
south of Soroka, capturing a Bol
shevik patrol."
REPARATIONS
PROBLEM IS NOW
FINALLY SETTLED
Only Minor Details Remain to
Re Worked Out by the
Special Board
By Associated Press.
Paris, April 9.—The reparations
problem is now considered delinitely
settled and only minor details con
cerning the functions of the commis
sion to allot the annual instalments
from Germany remain to be arrang
ed. The Polish question, including
the status of Danzig, is also nearing
settlement on the basis of interna
tionalization of the city. Danzig as a
free port avoids the necessity of
recognizing the claims of either Po
land or Germany, while the former
will have a corridor to the Baltic to
the limits of the internationalized
town.
President Wilson met with the
premiers of Great Britain, France
and Italy yesterday for the first time
sinGe he became ill. The discussion
of responsibility for war and
t\ie Sarre valley, which was unfinish
ed, continued to-day. It was not in
dicated whether the President made
any reference to the summoning of
the George Washington.
On account of the President's
weakened condition the afternoon
session was comparatively short, Mr.
Wilson lying down immediately aft
er its adjournment, although it was
stated at the "White House" that the
was gradually improving and expect
ed ,to attend all the meetings of the
council hereafter.
The return of President Wilson to
the Council of Four and the progress
made on various questions has re
moved much of the tension which
existed in conference circles and has
Ird to renewed confidence in an
early and satisfactory conclusion.

CITIZEN FIRE
CO. IS OFFERED
BUILDING SITE
Firemen's Union Would Have
Physicians Give Serv
ices at Fires
It was announced at the Firemen's
j Union meeting held in the Washing
ton chemical house last evening,
tfhat an offer had been made to
members of the Citizen Fire Com
pany of a site in Tenth street, near
j Market, free, for the purpose of
j erecting an engine house for the
Citizen Fire Company.
Provision is being made to have
the police patrol, or the city ambu
| lance respond to fire alarms. Also
to have volunteer physicians appear
at tires in the various districts. Dr.
T. E. Bowman, 1641 State street, is
the first physician to tender his serv
ices free in case of fire alarms in his
district.
On Friday afternoon at the may
or's office, an ordinance will be pre
pared for adoption by City Council,
providing for a safety committee,
made up of firemen from the various
companies, to act in conjunction
with the police force of the city,
whereby crowds will be kept back
from dangerous places during fires;
members of this committee to be au
thorized to arrest on view parties
caught stealing personal propertv at
such times.
The annual dues to the Firemen's
Union of the several fire companies
have been Increased from $1 to $2.
The attention of the city authori
ties has been called to the dangerous
conditions arising from the parkin?
of automobiles along the east side of
Market Square and Second street,
from Market to Walnut street, on
Saturday evenings.
The firemen are delighted with the
prospect of widening Walnut street
from Fourth to Third, and Third
street from Walnut to North. The
nightly congestion on Walnut street
is a menace to public safety when
that thoroughfore has to be'used in
responding to fire alarms.
Each fire company of the city is
requested to appoint a committee of
three firemen to assist in making
preparations for the coming county
convention in June. These commit
tee men are to attend the meeting

EXPECTS U.S. TO
HOLD TRADE IN
LATIN-AMERICA
Robert Barrett Says Country
Can Retain Its Prestige
Gained During War
Washington, April 9. —"A study of
market conditions and methods in
Argentina has convinced me that, so
far as this particular country is con
cerned, American trade will continue
for many years to hold its own,"
Robert S. Barrett, commercial at
tache to the United States embassy
in Buenos Aires, declared to-day in
a report to the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce.
In answering the "most pertinent
question" now in the minds of busi
ness men of the United States —
whether this country can retain the
oommercial prestige gained during
the war—Mr. Barrett found numer
ous reasons for optimism. He said
firms in the United States were com
ing to a better understanding of
their South American trade because
they were studying its needs. In
creased credit facilities are being ar
ranged and closer relations achieved
by the establishment of branch
houses in Latin-America and buying
offices in the United States.
He warned, however, that compet
itive freight rates, trained men ab
solute honesty and investment in
South American securities were nec
essary to maintain the position which
United States goods now hold in the
countries to the south of the equa
tor.
"While perhaps the United States'
percentage of the total imports into
Argentina may not be so large as
it has been in the past four years,
during which competition from Eur
opean countries was greatly 'affected
by tlio war, the value of its exports
to Argentina will be larger in the
next few years than ever before,"
Mr. Barrett said.

despotism of the Public Service Com
mission Act. They voted to have the
Eyre bill giving the commission pow
er to repeal local levies, taxes and
franchises upon public utilities, cor
porations, killed.
The Eyre bill will be heard by the
House Judiciary General Committee
April 22.
