Thomas today acted to extradite from Belgium a gallant foreigner with a mysterious name who is reputed to have connived with love-starved wives to kill their husband for their insurance money, "Nicolal Nlckolaidi" is held in Brussels, Belgium, after confessing to an unsolved Youngstown murder committed on Oct 21, 1929, and Prosecutor Thomas declared today that the man and his woman companion will be brought back to this country, if possible, because there is a slight discrepancy in their story.

"Nicolal Nickolaidi" already Is dead. A man supposed to be Nico lal Nickolaidi was the person slain on Oct. 21, 1929. Confessions Reported But Brussels police declare that the man they are holding has con fessed to murders of husbands with insurance policies, and Thomas said today that the man they buried in Belmont Park cemetery three years ago perhaps was just one of the victims. Queer slashes were found on the temples of the "Nicolal Nickolaidi" buried here.

The head was crushed as though it had been snapped by the jaws of a beast. Having no one to absolutely Identify the victim, authorities photographed him as he lay on a slab in the morgue. With that, when the "Nicolai Nickolaidi" in Belgium has been returned America, they will be I able to determine the truth. On the body of the man slain here were found papers identifying him as the bearer of the foreign name. And later a woman from Montreal claimed his $5,000 insurance.

Women's Names Linked That woman, who collected the insurance by mail without ever coming to Youngstown and also wrote a tender note about her husband's death, is believed by Thomas to be the Henrietta Nickolaidi, now held in Brussels. The man, says Thomas, may be Renee Copyn, a polite and gracious steel-mill hand who formerly roomed with Nickolaidi. When authorities sought to interrogate him about the habits of his former crony he was gone. Officials believe Copyn was the paramour of Nickolaidi's wife. Both men, it was learned later, had taken out insurance policies naming the same woman in Ostend, Belgium, as benefactress.

In Hamilton county district. The tax money has remained idle in the county treasury here since It was paid, while a suit instituted by Hamilton county testing the legality of a section of the new personal propeity tax law was being prosecuted.

This disputed section of the law provided that counties collecting more than their "quota" of intangible taxes are required to remit a certain percentage of the amount collected to the state treas-ury for distribution to those coun-ties in which an amount under the "quota" was paid. Richland Has $9,000 Richland county collected moie than $9,000 above Its "quota," and as a consequence may be required to pay this amount into the state treasury. The Hamilton county common pleas court, however, returned a finding a few weeks ago declaring tha section of the law contested unconstitutional. County Auditor Aithur S. Beck declared today that he will not make any payments out of the in-tangible tax fund until advised to do to by State Auditor Joseph Tracy.

He cited that there still is possibility that a higher couit will reverse the decision of the Hamilton county common pleas court. Shelby public library will receive $2,174.61 if the state auditor approves payment from the Intang-ibla tax revenues. Mansfield's request for 1933 was $27,000, while tna amount asked by Shelby for library purposes was $6,000. Decision Unanimous The decision, written by Judge Simon Ross and concurred in by Judges Francis Hamilton and Wade Cushing. holds that an junction, barring the county audi tor and treasurer from honoring statu warrants drawn on the tangible collection, can apply only to the surplus raised over what had been fixed aa the county's It affirms Judge Chester R.

Snook's ruling in the lower court that three provisions of the Intangibles law, dictating how the funds shall be distributed, are unconstitutional insofar aa they apply to surpluses, but holds them valid in their application to funds collected within the quota. The surplus in Hamilton county amounts to about $1,500,005. Declaring these provisions of the law to be unfair, since they would penalize Hamilton county taxpayers for making complete returns on their holdings of Intangibles by turning a part of their tax pay ments over to other communities, Robert N. Gorman, prosecutor, filed an Injunction suit. To Be Turned Over Under Judge Ross' ruling, the machinery set up by the law will be put in motion and all the funds raises, except the surpluses, will be turned over to the state for cistributinn to libraries and other subdivisions.

i It la expected the case will be carried to the Ohio supreme court. Whrn the lcsislature meets in dpcc fl session next week, it nu.y i enantie the distribution featuicsnfj the lav and provide a legal means whereby this and the other coun-j ties having surpluses ran use the money for local purposes.

F. C. Holds Ohio Responsible For City's Relief Grant Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 2( The i Reconstruction Finance Corp. will hold the state of Ohio rerponsible for repayment of the $2,337,000 direct relief loan granted to Cleveland.

The question of whether the state assumes the obligation itself or leaves it back against the city is one which Governor George White and the Ohio legislature must decide. This policy was expressed today by a director of the R. F. who said that any arrangement for repayment made between the state and a city receiving an R. F.

C. loan was solely a state problem. Cleveland Saturday was granted a total of $2,807,000 for relief work for the remainder of 1932. The R. F.

C. board granted the application for $2,337,000 direct relief and authorized the purchase of $470,000 city bonds which could not be disposed of to private buyers. The $2,337,000 loan was granted under the section of the relief net which provides for repayment by deductions from the federal aid highway fund over a five-year period beginning in 1935. "The corporation makes the governor and the state wholly responsible for the repayment," said the director. "There is no federal lien against the city, but the state can mnke any arrangement it sees fit to levy the assessment against the benefited city." In the of the purchase of city bondy, however, the city is dl- ter inches thick.

The cars will be installed with tear gas bombs and machine guns. To the observer the outward appearance of the car is no different than an ordinary sedan. Miss Mildred Black, in the picture, Is pointing to the steel netting. (The name of the bomb-proof president Is. kept HOOVER BEGINS P.

S. mails, and 60,000 others are given part time for contract employment by the post office department.
