Was Kreuger “Suicide” a Gigantic Hoax? * * * * * * Swedish Authorities Seek Match King’s Gold Cache, While Rumors Fly That Cremated Coffin Contained Only Wax Figure. *- I I ______ ■ ■ - - Ma\ -., 1 : k, I T.I Iv/,F,_ W.l v.r., ' That Ivar Kreuger did not commit suicide in his Paris penthouse as the world was led to believe, but is, in fact, alive, is the startling rumor that is going the rounds in Europe, it is claimed that several persons who were present at the cremation services of the supposedly dead financier noticed a strong odor of burning 1 wax, giving rise to the belief that the coffin contained only a wax effigy of the Swedish financial wizard. Proof that the rumor is receiving some degree of credence from investigation authorities is seen in the activity ' they are displaying in endeavoring to trace $200,000,000 in gold which Kreuger is said to have secured before he took his way out, either by suicide or trick disappearance. In almost every country in the world, financial institutions and safe deposit companies are co-operating with Swedish investigators who are endeavoring to find the huge cache of precious metal. Hilda Aberg, who was house-keeper of Kreuger’s million dollar penthouse in New York, has been questioned, hut was unable to throw any light on the movements of the financier. To prove or disprove the persistent rumor that Kreuger's suicide was not “on the level" it has been suggested in the Swedish capital that the ashes in the cremated coffin be subjected to analysis by expert*. However, the investigating officials are concentrating on the search for the bullion, believing that if they locate it Kreuger will rot be far off.

Paris, France, May 26. —With investigations of the vast operations of Ivar Kreuger, Swedish match king, underway in almost every country in the world, a rumor that began with the announcement of Ihe financier's suicide iu Paris, last March, is gaiuing increasing momentum in his native Sweden. Tile story, in brief, is that the Kreuger "suicide" was a gigantic hoax, perpetrated with the intention of giving tlie match king an opportunity to shed his personality and titanic debts and to emerge in some other part of the world in t lie form of another daring wizard of finance. I’roof that the Swedish authorities do not regard the rumor as wild | as it sounds at first hearing is seen in the activity they are displaying in tracing every move of the financier tor several months before his "suicide " Some time before Kreuger took his way out. whether by suicide or trick disappearance, it became known that the financier was feverishly turning his stock holdings into paper currency, and then buying gold in the open market. And the Swedish authorities are trying to discover what became of that gold, while seeking a solution to the problem as to why Kreuger wanted such an amount of the precious metal if he had intended to kill himself. army arrives in Washington, D.C., the protßein of funds will he serious during their stay, one of the crusaders is planning a foxing matt it there, with the receipts to help feed his comrades.

| There is only one person in the i world, who was in any degree adi' niitted to the match king's confidence and who would he likely to : know where the vast store of bullion is deposited, hut simultaneous- : ly with Kreuger's “suicide," that aiay mysteriously vanished. The amount of gold involved, ac- ■ c ording to the experts, is in the vi- : cinity of $200,000,000, which makes quite a sizeable heap of metal, for i which a search is being made in banks and safe deport? companies i throughout the entire world. ■ Some of tlie circumstantial evii deuce that the financier's suicide | might possib.y have been a fake is • being sifted by Swedish inrestigaI tors and is as follows: i When Kreuger's body was discov- ; < red. hours were allowed to elapse - before the police were notified, busi iness colleagues all over the world • having been informed before the Paris authorities were let into the secret. Only eight people saw the ' body, of which but three knew Kreuger. The body was embalmed I in Paris al once and placed In a coffin with a glass panel, one inch . thick, showing only the face of the i,dead man. The coffin was immediately sea’ed and permission was j denied tiie Swedish Legation to view the body for two days. Then jibe coffin was brought to Sweden Iby M. Iffttorin, vice preseident of at San Francisco. Dolan has been ■j training every day. He heads the ■ | army's military police force. ; The group of 75 Baltimore & I I Ohio special police who came here ! to prevent the veterans from seizi icg a freight train were to leave i for Cincinnati on a special train ■ as soon as the ve'erans started y out for that city by tnffk.

■ Swedish Match Com- . panv. Then came the report from Stockholm that several persons who witnessed the cremation of the ’ body noticed a strong odor of burning wax. The rumor spread all • ever Sweden at the time and is still circulating that the body in the coffin was a wax figure. To prove or disprove this start- • | ling rumor it lias been suggested in ' the Swedish capital that the ashes ' of Kreuger lie subjected to anali ysis by experts. - Financial experts of Berlin state that although Kreuger’s gigantic • international structure was on the ‘; verge of collapse because of world- (: wide depression, the principle Kreu--jger enterprise had not suffered ! actual loss. The crisis came bn- -| cause there was considerable theft. ■| a shortage of $200,000,000 being • j discovered after the financier's I "suicide.” : | This is the money, which, the ' authorities believe, purchased the I I huge amount of go'd that Kreuger j cached somewhere and the whereI abouts of which they, as well as i cue hundred small companies that were hard Hit or wiped out by the 1 i Kreuger machinations, are anxious • to discover. Many persons who , | were close to Kreuger are firmly i convinced tint if the authorities succeed in locating this bullion, the i “dead" match king will not be far ! [off. i 11. L. Denton, head of the rail- '! road police, said I lie railroad I would continue to resist efforts of ■ I lie men to ride free lo Washlng- : | ton. | Citizens here donated freely ■ j both food and money toward the i | veterans' cause. 1 ; Ono of (lie principal problems, that of obtaining cigarettes, was solved when Roy Petrie, Portland, Ore., veteran, was ordered to collect all cigarette butts an inch - wild a Half long or longer and ! ration them out to the men. Local police said the men were orderly and that no trouble had been encountered. J. F. McGinnis, Portland, Ore.. ! veteran, was taken to the hospital | suffering from ' pneumonia ennI traded from sleeping on the ground in the rude wayside camps. Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. i Stillwell of the Indiana National 5 guard escorted the trucks with a convoy of rolling kitcheus, food and tents, to the Ohio state line. Ohio officials were considering similar action.
