LANDED IN GAOL
GERMAN BUND LEADER DISCOVERS RURAL AMERICA “THOUGHT IT A HICK TOWN” (By Telegraph—Tress Association —Copyright) Received July 16, 5.20 p.m. WEBSTER (Mass.), July 16. The German-American Bund leader, Fritz Kuhn, discovered rural America to-day, landing in goal as the result of it. A policeman halted Kuhn and Count Anastase von Siatsky, leader of the White Russians in America, as the pair left a cafe and started to enter the count’s car. The policeman insisted that the Count was too drunk to drive and took both to the station house, where it was agreed that Kuhn should drive. After starting the motor, Kuhn leaned out of the window and cursed the police, who promply pulled him out and arrested him on charges of drunkenness and profanity. Kuhn was released after he and the Count had raised 54 dollars bail. “Kuhn was just another wise guy,” commented Police Chief John Templeman, “who thought this was a hick town and that he could stage one of them beerhall putsch things and be a dictator in it."
