GIRL'S CELLAR PRISON.

Paris, August 27.- Andre Sterkeman, a disciple of Raffles, a gentleman burglar who never operated unless wearing a dinner jacket and a white gardenia buttonhole, and drove himself to the scenos of his exploits in smart-two-seater motor-car, has been the means of releasing a poor, balt-mad Polish, servant girl from a dump and filthy cellar where her employers forced her to sleep.

Sterkeman was laid by the heels at last, and to-day, he told the examining magistrate the story of his recent exploits.

Ghostly Figure. * After having robbed the villa of a Parisian doctor at Vaucresson, a picturesque suburb of Paris, he was driving himself home, when he he .Empress of Canada saw another villa which, as

said, was just asking to be rifled. 28.

Villa of Mystery. The magistrate, accompanied by Sterkeman and police, drove to the villa at Vaucresson. They found It inhabited by a Polish couple, who said they had a Polish servant girl named Batrona Howlezick,

aged seventeen.

"As she's half mad," they said, "we do not pay her any money, but we feed and board her."

It is anticipated that the receipta from income tax and corporation tax during the period January 1 to June 30, 1931, will be considerably lower than was estimated. On the other hand, heavy expenditure has been incurred by the Farm Board on account of the depression in agriculture.

The figures of expenditure for the current financial year, from July 1 to August 16, excluding the amount paid in redemption of the National Debt, show "kutal of $405,083,448 (about £80,600,000), or $29,086,698 (about £5,800,000) the than

The police are now investigating the girl's antecedents, and trying to discover whether she was mad before she went to live at "The Villa of Mystery.",
