' SOLDIERS WERE
GUILTY TAKING
RUMANIA COIN
BERLIN, July 2 (by Associated
Press).—The mystery surrounding
^ the robbery of 60.000,000 Rumania
lei (formerly worth about 19 cents
each) which took place a year ago,
has now been cleared up by the ar
rest of four soldiers, who were as
signed to the task of guarding the
paper money and treasure which was
stored in the Spandau capital.
The men, who were drafted for
army service and subsequently as
signed to garrison duty, jointly plot
ted the robbery eventually carried it
out and then disappeared.
They were recently discovered
living comfortable lives as small
** truck gardeners or extra van gant
gamblers.
On being questioned the men ad
mitted that the Rumanian currency
had been disposed of through Rus
sians and Rumanians, who infest the
cafes and speculators’ haunts in the
vicinity of the railway stations of
Berlin.
The men experienced heavy losses
in disposing of the 1,000-lei notes for
speculators would only pay 250 marks
for them and they also claim that they
are no longer in possession of any of
the 60,000,000 fund notes.

is not yet explained, but at the time
of the robbery it was stated it com
prised the German army treasure
^ which was transported back from
Rumania.
A Berlin afternoon paper states
that the money “was printed in Ger
many and destined for the use of
Mackensen in his Rumanian cam
paign.”
The robbery took place at the fam
ous Julius tower at Spandau where
the German war treasure was stored.
The names of the four men who have
been arrested in connection with the
affair are Kuhn, Wenta, Elssner and
Peschges. The first name is said to
be the leading spirit of the quartet
vand that he and Elssner quietly re
tired into the country on their respec
tive shares of the robbery.
It was through Peschges who, hav
ing spent his share of the robbery
in riotous living and was subse
quently arrested on a charge of burg
lary that the whole affair came to
light. The police caught Wenta just
as he was about to emigrate with
his family.

IMMIGRATION TO
INLAND CENTERS
IS FALLING OFF
NEW YORK, July 2 (by Associated
Press).—Marked deflection of immi
gration from Now York City to in
land centers during the last year is
given by immigration officials at
Ellis Island as one explanation for
the fact that this city’s population
was shown by the 1920 census to be
only 5,621,121, instead of the 6,100,
000 expected.
Rowe, official money changer for
incoming aliens asserted that money
exchanged for immigrants whose des
tination is New York City does not
amount to one-hundreth part of the
amount exchanged for those giving
other points of destination.
“In former years,” said Mr. Rowe,
“immigrants poured into New York
City by the hundreds of thousands.
They are now going to manufacturing
centers such as Pittsburgh, Detroit
and Akron, Ohio, or to the coal and
iron mining regions. We are exchang
ing a hundred times more money for
aliens in transit than for those coming
to New York City.
