Judge Artman Held Up
by Oakland Police
Noted Indiana Jurisk and Tenn.
perance Advocate Asks Re-
lease of His Chauffeur

OAKLAND. March 29.-Judge Samuel
w. Artman of Indiana, jurist and tenn
perance advocate, in company with
Superior Judge w III. Waste of the
Alameda county bench, were over
hauled today by the police :hying
squadron" who arrested their chauf-
feur. Nelson Boree of Hayward, on a
charge of violating the speed limit.
Only cold cash to the amount of $50
availed in securing the release of the
mahout who guided the judicial car,
and it was only by going into all their
pockets, say those, who saw the dis
tinguished automobilists, that the
driver was bailed out. The bail re-
quired by the police for violation of
the speed limit law is $50. and neither
Boree nor Judge Waste could meet
the demand until Judge Artman came
to the front with tender of $50
piece.
AIDS IN SUPPLYING BAIL
The judges were halted at Thirty
seventh street and Telegraph avenue
by the police on guard against speed
burners Policeman George Powers
followed the machine with a motor
cycle and registered the time with q
speedometer at nearly % miles an hour.
Policemen James Flynn aud Keefe
stopped the driver and took the ma
chine and occupants to the police sta
tion.
There Boree was unable to advance
bail, having but a few dollars in his
possession. Judge Waste left the au-
tomobile, which stood in front of the
station, and went to the rescue of the
driver. He, too, failed to meet the
financial requirements and returned to
the machine, where Judge Artman
waited impatiently. Artman contrib
uted $40 to the relief fund and Boree
was liberated
ON WAY TO LECTURE
The reason for Artmans impatience
was that he was scheduled to lee
ture tonight in Hayward on the
liquor question:.
The Judge was the speaker of the
evening at the meeting of the Good
Government league on the subject of
Sunday closing. and he and Waste
were on their way to that meeting
when their driver was arrested. They
were by their presence in Hayward
lending support to the candidacy of
the good government nominees for
town trustees, one of whom is ]. ].
Boree, a brother of the chauffeur who
was arrested.
In the machine with the two jurists
was the Indianan's wife and child.
Despite the dignified positions occu-
pied by the jurists the full formality
of police routine In such cases was
invoked and not until the requisite
gold was deposited was the party free
to continue it's interrupted journey to
Hayward.
The police squad Of Keefe, Powers
and James Flynn made several other
arrests for speeding. among them
being Edward Toombs. nephew OF a
prominent Alamedan; c. H. Ellington.
chauffeur: w. A. Connor. merchant:
j. M Hon and John Dough, chauf-
feurs; DIR. G. f. Frisbee, San Fran

Imperiled Burglar
END OF LONG CHASE
The Thief, Holly Pursued, Jumps Into
New York Central Tunnel Opening,
and Is Pulled from in
Front of Train.

New York, March l4.--A burglar hunt
which began with a policeman shooting
at fleeing robber in the fashionable
district in the vicinity Of Sixty-ffth
street and Park avenue early yesterday
ended with the officer risking his life
on the tracks in the New York Cen
trail tunnel to save that Of the hunted
man.
| The alleged robber was snatched from
death under a rapidly moving train, but
he had been so severely hurt by jumping
into the tunnel in an effort to escape
his pursuit that he was taken to hospi-
tai instead of to prison cell
A policeman who was passing the
fashionable apartments at Park avenue
and Sixty fifth street. heard suspicious
sounds IN tho areaway and went down
to investigate. AS he reached the bot
tom Of the stairway figure darted
past him and started down the avenue
at top speed. The officer followed, cali
ing upon the fugitive to surrender. and
sent three bullets to enforce his com.
mand.
Neither the calls nor the shot had any
effect upon the fugitive, but they had
brought 10 the case several detectives
who had been especially assigned to
that section.
When the fugitive realized that his
pursuer had been REINFORCED and That
his chance OF escape by straighsaway
run was extremely slight, he darted to
one Of the tunnel openings in Park ave
nue. and plunged through TO the tracks
30 feet below In the tunnel the dark
ness was intense and for time the
pursuers feared their man had escaped
just at that moment an automobile
with a powerful searchlight came up

through the opening and the alleged
robber was seen lying across The tracks
at the bottom of the pit. The automo-
