ACTING MAYOR NOT THERE
MitCheI'S Double at Fairmont
A. c. Was Mark A. LeusCher.
POLICEMEN 'ON THE CARPET
Baker and Hussey Must Explain
Why Fight Tickets We're Sold,
Despite Warning.

Acting Mayor Mitchell learned yesterday
afternoon the identity of the three men
whose presence in window opposite the
Fairmont Athletic Club on Tuesday night
led to the rumor that one of them was
the acting Mayor.
Mark A. Leuscher, writing from the Of
fees Of a theatrical syndicate, said: Il
seem to be the innocent cause of a mis-
apprehension, which I regret very much;
and I wish you to understand that no one
in the party with me was responsible for
the statement that the acting Mayor was
watching the movements of the police at
the Fatrnont Club last night. 1t was
who with two friends. Joseph Maxwell and
Julius Manner. occupied the window oppo-
site that club. and we did not speak to a
single person nor make any representa-
tions as to who we were to any one"
Mr. Leuscher wrote the explanation at
the request of Inspector Hussey. who had
learned who was In the window He
explained that his party had gone to the
club, intending to see the boxing when
Inspector Hussey had told him that the
affair would be broken up
Out of curiosity they had asked the oc-
cupants of the room across the street to
allow them to sit in the window to see
what would happen when the police acted.
They stayed there until most of the crowd
had gone and then started away.
''As we reached the sidewalk. wrote
Mr. Leuscher, some one came up to MIR.
Maxwell and said: Commissioner, what is
the real reason for the Interference and
he said, You've got me wrong. In not
even park commissioner We thought
some one was joking and walked away
Acting Mayor Mitchell. who had Police
Commissioner Baker and Inspector Hussey
before him in the afternoon, said he had
not finished his investigation of the case.
He wanted TO know why the police had
allowed the sale of tickets TO the exhipi-
ton after he had warned them as early
as o'clock on Tuesday afternoon not to
permit the fight
Inspector Hussey said the police had IN
derstood that the preliminary bouts were
not prizeights, and they did not think
they had any right to stop them.
The attention of the Commissioner and
the inspector was then called to the law
which prohibits not only prizehghts, but
also boxing bouts to which an admission
fee IS charged.
Mr.. Mitchell explained in the morning
that he had not the slightest intention of
watching the work of the police at the
Fairmont Club. He had given them in
structions to see that the law was not
violated, and that should have been
enough
1T was the first attempt to hold a big
fight in New York since the intended
Ketchel-Langfcrd fight, which was
stopped by order of the Governor said
Mr.. Mitchell. and I think we were ex-
tremeIy fortunate in getting advance IN
formation in time to prevent a violation
of the law

DRISCOLL GETS JEWELLERS
Two More Arraigned on Charge
of Using False Marks.

Two more jewellers were arraigned IN
the Court of Special Sessions yesterday as
q result of the crusade of Commissioner
Driscoll, of the Bureau of Weights and
Measures, against the practice of dishon-
estly marking the fineness OF gold and Sill
Yer articles, in which work he is backed by
the Jewellers Board of Trade, which has
placed in his hands a fund for the pur-
chase of articles to be tested.
In one case a woman held the written
guarantee of a jeWeller that a bracelet she
purchased was IA karatS fine. The United
States Assay Office found it to be a. trifle
under karatS fine. A bracelet bought
from another dealer with a 1+-karat guar
antee proved to be something less than 10
karats.
We found an almost total disregard OF
honesty in marking gold and silver said
Commissioner Driscoll. 'tIn toilet articles.
combs, brushes and the like we found the
cheapest kind of metal branded sterling
silver and no silver in them. They were
simply polished with nickel polish. Then
we found IA KIT and IS KIT stamped on
rings and bracelets which had been sub
jected to merely the cheapest kind of gold
dip.
In England and all Great Britain the
words sterling silver and the karat mark
are regarded as sacredly as the seal Of the

and if you mismark your jewelry there
they'll send you to jail for about seventy
thousand years. and after you get out
they'll send you back again just for luck.
