TREASURER OF
LOAN CONCERN
UNDER ARREST
Thomas A. Black, of Closed In
stitutiOn, Said to Be
$4,000 Short.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Thomas
Atherton Black, treasurer of tie
Kniekerbocker Savings and Loan As
ISOLATION, which was summarily closed
on Saturday as the last official act of
superintendent Orion H. Cheney. was
arraigned in General Sessions today to
plead to an indictment charging him
with having stolen 81, 7O5. The total CT
Blacks alleged defalcations, ii is said,
will exceed S15,0 900.
The young man was arrested on a
bench warrant by Detective Leigh, of
the district attorneys office at l o'clock
this morning at Broadway and Thirty
fourth street.
According to friends of Blacks
father, the late r. T. Black, of Scran-
ton, Pa, a highly respected coal
broker, the time and the place of the
arrest were dramatically appropriate,
If the stories which have floated back
to the coal region from New York
about Atherton Black, and which he
says are malicious gossip, are true.
Leigh. who had been looking for
Black at baseball games and in various
hotels and billiard rooms along Broad
way where people who spend what
they call easy money are apt to be
found, took his prisoner direct to police
headquarters.
A deposit was made yesterday after
noon with the department of banks,
which supposedly was furnished by
Blacks mother, who has been trying
to establish him in business since his
fathers death.

BABY OUTW|TS
R0BBER, SAVES
GRANDMOTHER
Gives Signal When Man Breaks
Into House and Attacks
Old Woman.

NEW YORK. May 23.-~Three-year-
old George Engle probably saved the
life of his grandmother, Mrs. Mary
Sarge, early today by summoning help
when she was attacked and brutally
beaten by a mar who burst in the door
of her room to rob her. When help
came after the little fellow had pound
ed on the floor with his shoe, the aged
woman's assailant fled to the roof of
the big tenement house at SO Eldridge
street, where Mrs. Sarge is janitress,
and escaped.
Mrs. Sarge and the boy were alone in
the house. The boys mother, Mrs. Ida
Engle, is a laundress, working nights.
About ten weeks ago Mrs. Sarge, who
livessin the real on the third floor, took
a boarder to help meet the family ex-
penses. He went away a few days ago,
but was expected back early today.
When Mrs. Sarge was awakened by a
knock at the door she thought it was
the boarder returning.
His Dcmand Refused.
Mrs. Sarge refused to open the door.
At thai the mar put his shoulder to
the door and burst it in. He demand
cd money again.
There's only $40 in the house, Mrs.
Sarge pleaded, "and we need that
badly"
The intruder flung her across the bed,
where her grandson was lying. Hold
ing the woman by the throat with one
hand he struck her repeatedly in the
face, blackening both her eyes. AS
she struggled to free herself, George
slipped down on the floor between the
wall and the bed. Being left at home
alone at night Mrs. Sarge had arranged
with Louis Reitmann, who lives below
her, that If she needed help she would
rap on the floor. George knew this,
and, taking his shoe, began to pound
on the floor.
Reitmann heard the signal, but while
he was getting on some clothes to come
upstairs the man continued beating
Mrs. Sarge. He knocked out two of
her teeth and nearly tore off her right
ear. AS he heard Reitmann and an
other neighbor, Samuel Amigo, COM
ing through the hall, the intruder
kicked the aged woman two or three
times and then made his escape up to
the roof.

CALLS HANDS Of
SU|TOR FOR 'PRU
STOCK UNCLEAN
Mrs. Mennen's Lawyer Says
Sale Should Not Be
Restrained.

After hearing another phase of the
proceedings in the Court of Chaneery
brought by Frederick C. Blanchard, of
Morris Township, against Mrs. Elma
c. Mennen, the wealthy widow of Ger
hard Mennen, the talcum powder king,
covering the sale of 207.6S shares of the
"Pru' stock, Vice-Chancellor Emery
decided today that he would grant a
preliminary injunction restraining the
transfer of the stock on the condition
that Blanchard pay into court the
amount of the debt with interest.
When the announcement had been
made the lawyers, William Mayo At
kinson, for Mr.. Blanchard, and Charles
c. Pilgrim and Frederick F. Hey, for
Mrs. Mennen, withdrew to consult their
clients as to further movements in the
fight.
Mr.. Atkinson came into court with a
new legal weapon In the shape of a bill
to redeem the stock in pursuance to a
suggestion made by the Vice-Chancellor
at the hearing of last week on the
return of the rule directing Mrs. Men
men, who bought the stock at a sale
after default in the payment of inter
est had occurred, to show cause why
she should not be restrained from
transferring it or otherwise disposing
of 1t pending final adjudication of the
case.
Contained Tender of Payment.
The bill to redeem contained an offer
to make such tende of payment as the
court might direct. In the course of the
argument Mr.. Pilgrim denied that his
client could be charged with usury be-
cause of the alleged payment of a 81, 900
bonus to John j, Korb. Mrs. Mennen's
brother, who acted for her, in placing
the $4,000 loan she made to Blanchard
and when the stool was given as col
lateral security. 1t a held by Mr..
Pilgrim that no restraining order should
be made against any resale of the
stock, which is held by Mrs. Mennen, II
the sale in dispute should be held to
be invalid.
The lawyer insisted also that Mr..
Blanchard was not in court with clean
hands," in the legal sense. as he had
paid the bonus named at the time the
loan was made.
1t was also held that Mrs. Mennen
had a right to sell the stock. the buyer
taking such title al she might be able
to give under the circumstances.
