Police were unable to determine the reason for the crime, although the woman, in a confession, charged the priest with squandering the church's money and leading the people from the path of true religion. Officials are trying to determine whether Indictment of the woman's husband, also a priest, in connection with the embezzlement of church funds, had anything to do with the affair. Wife of Former Pastor Mrs. Strutynsky is the wife of the Rev. Nicholas Strutynsky, former paster of the church and now pastor of the church of St. John the Baptist, in Ramey, Pa., suburb of Harrisburg. In her confession, the woman said the revolver was given her by Father Valentine Bologh, of Youngstown, Ohio, “for my own protection.’’ Police are checking up this statement. The principals in the tragedy are Ukranians. Five weeks ago the woman came here with the sole idea of killing the priest, she told police. For days she shadowed her victim, several times on the verge of using her revolver, but each time she withheld her fire for fear of possible failure, she said. Knelt in Prayer So Saturday she decided on the church as the theater of action and the Sabbath as the time, she said. Men and women, sitting in quiet meditation, or kneeling In prayer, paid no attention to a tall, slender figure, rcbed in black, as it moved down the aisle. At the altar the figure knelt In prayer. William Ovozdjak. Sundayschool teacher, noted the woman was a stranger, and asked If he could aid her She responded with a request to confess. Gvozdjak led her to the confessional, where the Rev. Stetsuk awaited her. A motmnt later the crack of a revolver was heard. The Rev. Stetsuk staggered from the confessional behind the altar into full view. His hand was clasped to his mouth and a thin stream of red trickled from between his fingers. , Bullet Pierce* Back Another jsliqjl rang.out and a bullet pierced "the phiedFs back. He stagwcred, now calling out he had been shot. The black robed woman appeared from the confessional, and while she shouted “you cheat, you oppressor,” she fired three shots at the back of the lurching body. One bullet struck the priest lr) the hip and the others pierced his robes. Near the street door the priest collapsed. The woman ran toward the door and attempted,u> hurdle the body. Two women seized her. Other members of the congregation gathered about the slayer while cries of “Kill her: she has killed our priest!” rang out. Police Summoned Someone called a policeman and he summoned a squad from a nearby station. They rescued the woman, as frenzied men and women tore her dress and jpstued her about. In her confession the woman said her husband had built up the church and then was removed to make way for the Rev. Stetsuk. “My husband gave his life to building up the church and then he was dismissed,” she said. “Father Stetsuk cheated my people. Ho was a cheat and a hypocrite. I had to kill him." Police said the woman appeared to be mentally unbalanced. Officials later, said her husband had been indicted on a charge of embezzling $50,0 ">0 of- the money secured for building the Chicago church. One official said the Rev. Stetsuk had threatened to push the prosecution against Rev. Strutnysky and this may have been the motive m the killing. Tho woman is a Ukranian writer and lecturer of note. Her husband Is said to be a member of the Ukranian nobility.

SOVIET RUSSIA IS SAFE AS Oliß 1). S., BISHOPDECLARES ! Great Possibility Exists for Nation if Awakened, Vets Are Told. Conditions in Soviet Russia are not what they are pictured through the ; press, and one is as safe on the streets i of Moscow as in Chicago, said Bishop Edgar Blake, Paris, France, of the Methodist Church to the Service Club :at the Lincoln today. “Person and property are as safe in Moscow as In New York or ChiI cago,” the bishop declared. He spent \ two months In Russia, studying economic and social conditions. “The reign of terror is over. Cities ! are as quiet as Is Indianapolis,” he said. “No country could pass through what Russia has suffered without destruction. The suprising thing is the comparative limited evidence of it seen in Moscow and Petrograd.” “The Soviets have much to their credit educationally,” Bishop Blake i declared “Under the old regime education was taboo for the masses. The Soviets have reversed the policy jof the Czar. They believe education I makes for strength.” he said. “If Russia ever becomes really 1 aw-akened, if the masses become truly ; educated and enlightened, Russia will , !be one of the strongest and most ■ powerful nations in the world," Bishop ! Blake predicted. - Discussing economic conditions, he i saidd "Private property has been restored. Communism has broken j down. Eighty per cent of stores and I shops of Moscow are privately owned and run for personal profit." “Russia is not yet out of the woods and will not be for a long time to come." He advocated establishment of trade relations with the Soviets and If good faith Is shown, diplomatic recognition by the United States.

IDS HELPED BY COALJPERATOBS’ Ellis Searles, Mine Workers’ Editor, Makes Charge. “Communists and other destructive reds have received substantial encouragement and aid from non-union coal operators In their various activities," Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, declared In a statement today. Searles discussed the public reaction to the declaration of the mine workers that reds are attempting to seize the labor unions. Searles discusses the attitude of John C. Brydon, head of non union operators. “Numerous depredations, instigated by and directly traceable to the Communists, have been reported in Mr. Brydon’s own field in the non-union county of Somerset, Pennsylvania, and when the union offered to cooperate with him in an effort to run down and apprehend the perpetrators of these crimes, Mr. Brydon ignored its letter and refused to answer," Searles said. He quoted the letter tejllng of alleged depredations.

|. .| ALTI Give the countersign!" Back In the days of the United States Arsenal, E. Michigan St., those words echoed over the wooded land frequently. “Get a move on or you”ll tell it to the Judge." A formula more like that la used today, but the effect Is much the same as the soldier's orders when the 400 officers on traffic duty at Arsenel Tecltnical High School see that school laws are obeyed. Almost as orderly as the soldiers who proceeded them on this ground, more than 4,300 students go from class to class In the lanes marked off for them, while the members of the traffic squad, with green and white badges give directions. Former “.Soap” Squad, A traffic system like that of a small city has been worked out In three years. Ten senior boys started it at the Instigation of Miss Gertrude Thuemler, dean of girls. Miss Thuemler still directs the traffic officers. The first stop was taken when these pioneer,ng seniors took wire brushes, soap and water to clean the buildings of chalk marks. Gradually the students assumed more responsibility, until today d.sclpline la practically in their hands. / Throughout the seventy-six acres of ground and eleven buildings are signs with directions and traffic rules. Ten Shifts for the “Cops.” Eight miles an hour Is the auomobile speed limit on the campus, and the 100 campus traffic officers see that cars keep within the l.mit, too. These “cops” work in shifts, ten to a period. The ten periods stretch from 8:16 a. m. to 4 p. m. As students pour from the grounds to board street cars, a street car squad is on duty to keep them on the sidewalk until the cars come along and to see that order Is maintained as they board the cars. The lunchroom is well-policed. With 3,600 students to be fed in three periods, the twelve officers who work each period have little time to waste. Over each group of officers are captain’s forming a council to which complaints are taken. And the Game Rooters The boys who form the street car squad will be given badges like those to be given traffic officers in grade schools.

One group of officers has the difficult task of keeping students away from the recitation buildings during their lunch periods. Even wild eyed ,-ooters at football games and other athletic events are held at bay by a traffic squad, composed of the 130 members of the Choral Society, of which Lester Livingston is president. Directing the crowds, ushering and seeing that courtesy is observed, the fifty boys and eighty girls of this society* have a man-sized job. An airplane view of the campus between classes would show the students moving with no disorder in regulated lanes of traffic. “See, we’re as good as the soldiers In whose footsteps we walk,” the tramp of students' feet seem to say.

Princess Hermine Declares Former Emperor Feels Deeply for German People, but Is Powerless to Aid Them —Family Live Simple, By FERDINAND JAHN SAABOR, Silesia, Oct. 7, —Bavaria beats the war drum, and. monarchist Germany answers. Panoplied in the shining helmets, the gold and steel of the old regime, monarchist officers and rallying of the standard of revolt, mobiliziig, training marching, singing the old war songs, toasting , a gain, “the day.” Northward the call goes forth —a German monarch on the German throne, death of the young republic, defiance of France. Against this background Stresemann struggles to stem the swelling tie.

It was with fresh pictures of a hungry, money mad Berlin, torn by throes of Cabinet crisis, that I came to Saabor Castle to ask Princess Herrnlne wife of Wilhelm 11, whether the war lord would answer the call, returning to a German throne or aiding his sons to restore the glory of the Hohenzollerns. Two days ago Germany thrilled at the word that Crown Prince Wilhelm had left his Island exile at Wieringm. Was it in answer to word from Munich? Was he plotting war plans at Doom? Why had the Kaiserin, leaving Holland, come to Saabor? Old World Drawing Room Quiet sunlight flooded an old world drawing room as Prince Hans George Von Schoenich Carolath. son of the Kaiserin, ushered me into the presence of the woman who, if monarchist dreams came true, might be Empressmother of Germany. Across the home like silence room a motherly, plainly clad woman f-at knitting. Her. neat and simple dress was of thick stuff suited to the au tumn air. Her stockings were of cotton. The yarns in her firm, capable hands were destined to become a sweater —for the poor of the village, she explained. Princess Hermine rose as I stepped across the room, and graciously offered her hand, in the European fashion, to be kissed.

Princess Chats Freely Then resuming her knitting she chatted freely, grave when she talked of the sorrows of Germany, grave still, but with a twinkle of amusement in her eyes, as she spoke of reported plots aimed at the return of the Hohenzollerns. “No active politics are played at Doom," Princess Hermine answered when asked what relationship the exKaiser had to the present crisis. “The greatest reserve is maintained there as to developments in Germany. It does not thus signify we do not feel for the German people. It is to the contrary—and Hermlne’s voice carried sincere emotion —we feel the German nation’s sufferings as though they were our own. Darkest Fears Surpassed "I view the German crisis with the deepest gloom. As you will recall, I told you when you visited Doom Castle last spring, the situation warranted utmost pessimism. Today I must say that my darkest fears already have been surpassed. “Yet even today I can scarcely believe that the climax has been reached. “The collapse of the mark continues. Apparently there Is no hope of halting It. Unemployment and misery increase " Then she paused and looked up, answering the unasked question—what would the Ivalser do. The answer was a shrug, the strangely vivid continental shrug of hopelessness. No solution could come from Doom in tho time of the people’s sorrow. The hands of the former monarch are tied. Turning to the family life of the Hohenzollerns. she revealed clearly complete harmony exists between the Kaiser and his children. She told how the crown princess and Jier youngest child had only left Saabor castle a few days ago, and added: “The crown prince Is our cherished guest at Doom each month.” Father and Son Agree Hermine declared tie father and son had both enjoyed these brief interludes In the monotony of exile, and said that there were no differences between them on political questions. Talking of economic conditions in Germany, she pointed out the greatest suffering had fallen on the middle classes, giving an example of the plight of the British born philosopher Houston Steward Chamberlain, son-in-lcw of Richard Wagner, who lives in extreme poverty at Beyrouth. Herml’ne disclosed that the Kaiser has been aiding Chamberlain despite the fact that the Kaiser himself Is not living in plenty. Returning to Doom Hermine Is returning soon to Doom, taking her youngest daughter, who Is 4 years old, with her, and arranging for the return of two of her boys to Doom at an early date. There the children’s education will ko on under the eye of the "Kaiser" and “Kaiserin,” who declared she wanted to teach them “that practical charity, which comes from sacrifice.” So, as the Kaiserin talked of family things, the day wore on and the interview came to an end. Bavaria beats the war drum. But, beyond the frontiers, the Kaiser does not answer the call. An old man, in a Holland garden, merely is waiting for his family to come home—so it seems.
