SENSIBLE UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] -

LONDON, July 6th." The disappearance of Captain Alfred Loewenstein, the Belgian financier, fills the newspapers this werk. His death, is a riddle, the story being that he opened a door In the side of his private aeroplane while crossing the Channel and fell 4.000 feet into the sea. His at- tendants in the aeroplane did not see him fall out. They say he must have mistaken the outer door for that of n small cabin in the machine; but experts declare that this mistake was almost impossible. Probably the truth will never be known.

His death sent the financial world here and abroad into a mild panic, and stocks and shares began jump ing wildly for a time. The financier "played his game on an international scale, and speculated in millions as other men do in hundreds. Like the late Mr. Jimmy White, ha committed suicide

H. year ago, Loewenstein W&B always doing something spectacular. His death from an aeroplane is in keeping with his life, at any rate since he first came into the limelight of publicity about ten years ago.

Mr. Nelson E. Mustoe, prosecut- ing for the Commisioners of In- land Revenue, said that Sells's re- muneration in 101 was 700 a year, but by 1998 it had been re- duced to £350, owing to the reduc tion of his work. The specific charge referred to sums of £18 and

250, but the total defalcations, so far as could at present be ascer tained, amounted to £2,485. The matter came to light in January through the discovery that an ad- vance payment of a sum of £11,000 had been catered under a WrOER date. Sells admitted that for six years he had been misappropriat ing money.

Sells said that he wrongly enter- ed £11,000 purposely, so that the matter could be discovered. For 25 years I have been connected with this office," he said "I had to collect about £1,100,000 a year, and for "that I received £750 a year. Out of that I had to provide an office, pay the staff and incidental expenses. The work was so exor- mous it was impouible for me to deal with it in the time.

I got behindhand and my re mancration was in consequence stopped for three months. I had no means and I had to resort to money-lendars to get money to pay the clerks and dee expenses, “I used Revenue money, fully intend ing to pay it back, but it got too much for me, and I made up my mind to disclose the whole thing."

Sells was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment in the second division.

On The Grand Scale. There was always & certain amount of mystery about Captain Loewenstein. To the general public he was only known by the notices in the Press of his doings that
