STARVING ON CHRISTMAS EVE
Pole Faints in Police Station
After Telling His Story.

Forlorn, starving and homeless on the
eve of Christmas, Felix koWnejinSky. a
Pole, thirty-one years old, who is q. scis-
sors grinder, was sitting in the rain on a
box at Amsterdam avenue and 10th
street yesterday afternoon when Patrol
man Crawford noticed his serious con-
dition and took him to the West 152d
street station.
Kownejinsky told the police that he
came to New York from Paterson, N J.,
TO look for work His ignorance of the
language greatly hampered him. and
soon he found himself penniless. That
was three days ago. Since then he had
wandered about trying to make his
wants known, but he said nobody seemed
to understand what he said. He had not
been able to procure any food, and at
night he sought shelter in doorways
The man lost consciousness when he
finished his story to the Interpreter. He
was taken to the Washington Heights
Hospital where liquid food was given
him.

HELD HERE AS FUGITIVE
German Arrested as Forger on
Baltimore Complaint.

The police received a telegram last
night from Baltimore asking them to
look out for the arrival of Ernest Singer.
a German. at the Pennsylvania station,
as the man was wanted on charge OF
passing bogus checks. The telegram
gave a description of Singer and that of
young woman who, it was said. would
meet him here.
Detective Gaynor was sent to the
Pennsylvania station, and soon after
ward a couple answering to the descr1p-
tions given met and began an earnest
conversation. Gaynor stepped forward
and arrested them. The man said his
name was Ernest Singer, that he was a
German and that he had just come from
Baltimore He denied emphatically,
however that he had a part in the pass
ing of bogus checks, and in this he was
joined by the young woman.
Singer declared he was a captain in
the German army and that his father
was a man of wealth in his native coun-
try. He said he was in this country for
the purpose of buying cotton for his
father, and that he had engaged rooms
at the Hoffman House. Gaynor, in COM
pany with Singer and the young woman,
went to the Hoffman House and verified
Singers statement.
Despite the apparent sincerity Of the
couple, Singer was taken to Police Head
quarters on charge of being fugitive
from Justice He will be held to await
the arrival Of a warrant from Baltimore

MAY PUT HAVEMEYER
VIOLIN UNDER HAMMER
Rare Stradivarius Now Among
Seized Goods at the
Appraisers Stores.
BROUGHT IN FIVE YEARS AGO
Family of Late Sugar King
Pleads Statute of Limitations,
But It Is Said Not to Apply
to Struggled Goods.

Violin fanciers in this country may
lie auction a rare Stradivarius. once the
property of Henry o. Havemeyer, in his
lifetime president Of the American Sugar
Refining Company.
The Instrument is now in the posses
sion of Colonel Story, deputy collector of
customs in charge Of seized goods a. the
Appraisers Stores, Washington and
Christopher streets. 1t was seized at
the home of the former sugar man over
two months ago on the charge that it
five years ago.
Henry O. Havemeyer was a violinist
, of considerable skill, and he was pos
sessed Of passion for the ownership of
the finest specimens of the -riolin
makers art. He had in his collection
some of the best instruments ever made
One musician described him as "a id
scoundrel for he gathered all those fine
fiddles for himself, instead of leaving
them where the public would have a
chance to hear them.'' The sugar king
loved the violins, however, and had the
means to crafty his taste
About two months ago information
was conveyed to Collector Loeb. at the
Custom House, that a Stradivarius
smuggled in and was in the Havemeyer
collection. Special agents of the Treas
ury were put to work on the case and
their inquiries took them to Boston.
They gathered the information that in
the summer of 1905 the second officer
of ship entered at the port of Bos-
ton delivered at the Hotel Somerset in
Boston, to a representative of Henry o.
Havemeyer the valuable Klieswitter
Stradivarius. which was subsequently
brought to New York and delivered to
Mr.. Havemeyer himself.
Acting upon this information, the spe-
ciaI agents called on the members of the
Haven.eyer family to surrender the
famous violin. They complied readily
when informed of the circumstances un-
der which the officers said it had been
brought into the country
Suit has been begun in the federal
District Court to have the violin de-
clared forfeited to the government on
the ground that II was smuggled. Coun-
sci for the Havemeyer family have en-
tered a plea opposing the government
suit, on the ground that the statute of
limitations precludes the recovery by the
government OF the famous instrument
No denial of the allegations that the vio-
lin was smuggled into the country as
alleged is made in the plea.
| The federal officials hold that the sui,
must be successful The statute of linn
| itations applies In the case of goods
that have been undervalued. These can
not be seized three years after they
have been imported. In the present
case, however the violin was never en-
tered at any custom house, so that tbs
government claims the right to seize il
wherever IL can be found
| No mention has been made so far oi
the price paid by Mr.. Havemeyer for the
violin. though 1t is understood ii ran higi
