man. got anything to smoker"
aYes, sir" replied the Presidents son
meekly, at the same time taking out of his

carrier a generous handful OF imported
Turkish cigarettes and was then allowed
to proceed.

TOOK A JON AT SLEUTHING
Hut Got Tired OF II After Man He 1raiied
Had Him Punched.

Sidney l.. Welch Of 1918 Jennings street,
The Bronx, reached his majority about a
year ago and came into $40, 1000. He lost
part of the money in various ventures n
then at his mothers solicitation went
looking for a job.
The first thing that came his way was
to DO a sleuth for a private agency. he
was ordered TO shadow a man whom Man
ager Shortell OF the agency described.
Weloh got himself up in an obvious disguise
and appeared at Gas yesterday morning
in front Of 2l4 West i2sth street. When a
tall man with snowy hair came out OF the
house an hour later Sidney knew his quarry
at a glance. The man was George w.
Hamilton.
As Hamilton picked his way. over the
icy walk Sidney gumshoed along close
behind him Hamilton took a car Stdnsy
did likewise. This continued for an hour:
Finally Hamilton turned sharply around
and said Il want you to quit following me
"Iwont do il, : said Sidney, determinedly;
I'm a private detective and I'm employed
to trail you
About the middle of the morning Hamilton
passed l4l Broadway with Sidney at his
heels. Shortell was standing in front OF
the door. Sidney ran up to him and said:
Say, this man says l have no right TO
follow him."
Never mind what he says" replied
Shortell. lyon stay on the job"
Thereafter Sidney was more persistent
than ever. After five hours Hamilton got
angry and headed for his lawyers Office
on Broadway. Sidney went up in the same
elevator with Hamilton and waited outside
the lawyers door.
Finally Hamilton and the lawyer came
out. The party descended to the street
and a cop was called. Sidney was arrested
and taken 10 the Tombs police court. h
case was adjourned for two hours to enable
WEIGH to get help. He was well represented
by counsel when the case was called. Sidney
was willing TO apologize to Hamilton and
to quit sleuthing. Hamilton said he would
withdraw his charge. Sidney made an
abject apology and went home to think
il over.

PARSONS UNPAID JUDGMENT.
The Rev. Archibald en- Up IN Sup
Elementary PROCEEDINGS.

The Rev. Archibald McLauren, pastor
of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church,
was summoned yesterday to appear be
fore Justice Mccarthy in the City Court
in supplementary proceedings on an un-
paid Judgment for $500 obtained by Mrs.
Mary Cameron of 425 West T~wenty-frst
street.
DIR. McLauren appeared, but on the
consent Of Mrs. Cameron's lawyer, Nor
ton Stein, the proceedings were adjourned
until Wednesday week. The minister's
lawyer, G. Arthur Hilton, said afterward
that the Judgment represented money
which DIR. McLauren had borrowed from
Mrs. Cameron; but, added MIR. Hilton, DR..
NcLauren had never known, until he was
summoned for examination yesterday, that
he had been sued. The judgment was OBJ
tanned by default.
Mr.. Hilton added that about a year ago,
when the minister was under charges
brought against him by members of his
congregation, his salary Of $3.50 a year was
suspended, and he borrowed money on a
note from Mrs. Cameron, as he had no
other means Of livelihood. The note, Mr..
Hilton said, is not yet due. When the min
lister was vindioated on the charges he
applied TO the treasurer of the church for
his back salary, but found that no pro-
vision had been made for the payment Of
the money. He was therefore without
funds TO meet the note, though he had
every intention Of paying 1t as soon as
Cossible,

Burglars forced open a safe in Harry X,
Halstead's restaurant and bakery at 90

yesterday morning and got $3.50 and S3
worth OF cigars. At 1 o'clock a German
baker who was at work in the basement

FOrger schleImann Had Less Than Half q
Year 10 Serve In Sing Sing.


OssrNINo, N. Y, Dec. l0.-Up TO the
present time Frank Schleimann, who es-
capped from Sing Sing prison last evening,
has successfully eluded the keepers who
are hunting for him. Schleimann's ab-
sence was discovered when his keeper,
Robert Martin, was ending his days work
and was turning his men over to Night
Waterman W. l.. Mead. Immediately the
information was conveyed to the Office Of
Warden johnson and the alarm whistle
was sounded, calling all of the employees
back to the prison. Posses we're sent in
messages were transmitted to the surround
ing cities and villages.
Schleimann was serving a sentence OF
three years for counterfeiting He was
a foreman in the boiler room and the last
man in the institution that il was thought
would attempt to get away. He was re-
ceived at the prison january 10, 1905, but
through good behavior had received a
Communication which would earn his release
next May.
At first it was thought that he lodged
his keeper and after climbing the iron
fence on the river side of the prison made
his way over the cakes of floating ice to a
wharf some distance away, finally reaching
and boarding a freight train going north or
south. To-day it was generally thought
about the prison hat he did not risk drown
ing in the Hudson but instead that he
managed to get over the high wall on the
south side of the prison. After this he
could reach the railroad without any diff
iculty. The idea was advanced that he
is still hiding about the prison grounds,
but the grounds have been searched care
fully.
His coat was found inside the prison
walls this morning, which would seem TO
indicate that no had an accomplish on the
outside who supplied him with clothing.
The convicts no longer wear the familiar
stripes, and Schleimann would have little
trouble in passing people without attract
ing attention, especially if he wore a civilian
