Justice Ryan Says He IL Only Work

Tammany politicians and followers OF
w. r. Grace did not seem alarmed this
morning over the threat of the captains
Of the Sixth-ninth Battalion to annihi-
late any politician or political organiza-
ton If they didn't stop meddling with
the Slxty-ninth's affairs.
The captains name politicians whose
interference has been particularly OBJ
noxious to them. They are Assembly

John j. Ryan. both Tammany men, and
Maurice j. Power, leader of the defunct
County Democracy and now one OF the
leaders of the State Democracy.
Mr.. Sulzer and Mr.. Power were said
to be out of town. Police Justice Ryan
talked freely. He said the threatening
manifesto was Issued in the interest of
Lieut.-Col. Moran, whom he described
as mischief maker in the battalion.
Justice Ryan Is member of the bat
talon, and as such he said he has been
taking an interest in Its affairs. Justice
Ryan favors reorganization on the basis
agreed upon with Gen. Fitzgerald, and he
and his political friends have exerted
their efforts in that direction. That is
GERS. They are said to be opposed to
Col. Cavanagh. In their notice to poll
ticians to keep hands off militia affairs,
the captains say:
We hereby announce that II the political or
ganizations to which these persons belong permit
them further to interfere with the reorganiIa-
tion OF the Slxty-ninth Regiment by opposing

duty, or In any manner attempting to prevent
the same. we will ask our countrymen and the

but He Was Parolcd on Promising
to Betray Gold Dust Swindlers.


The residents of Southern Connecticut
have for a long time been annoyed by
the working of numerous sawdust. gold
dust and counterfeit money games, and
when Justice Of the Peace Rochelle, at
Rye, N. Y, had an opportunity to buy
sixty pounds of golddust, he became
suspicious.
Norris Brown, Pole, twenty mine
years old, Of Greenwich. Conn, was the
''stecrer," and the story he told was that
another Pole had robbed his employer in
Russia and fled 20 this country and
wanted to sell 1t.
Justice Rochelle was good listener,
but all he learned he told to Inspector
Mclaughlin, of this city. The Judge
made an appointment to meet Brown
and the man with the gold-dust at Mon
roe and Pike streets yesterday noon.
Detective Sergts. Hickey and Heidel-
berg were there. but no one showed up
excepting Brown. and he was arrested.
In the Tombs Court this morning there
was no complaint and he was paroled
upon his promise to inform the police
who the men were that work the game.
