I'm the art department Of the Mineola
Fair. Mrs Dayton was accompanied by
Mrs. Asbury Johnston. OF Hampstead
and the two at once made prO'cst
against the pictures with the fair officials.
Mrs. Dayton declared that she would at
once file with the secretary copy OF the
law which prohibited showing such pct
ures.
AS soon as the fair censors had left
the Office Lott Van De Water. the secre-
tery, and Thomas RI. Bacon. the general
manager OF the fair, who are botn Iron
old Long Island families. fastened TO the
art department Both, after deliberate
time of gazinS, declared that the pictures
were not Of nature 10 offend any one.
True TO her word, later in the day Mrs
Dayton filed a copy Of the law which
prohibits the posting OF Objectionable
pictures In public places. The statute was
carefully perused, but 1t was decided II
had no bearing whatever on the case IN
question.
The rumor OF the complaint, however,
soon spread around the grounds, INC

OF Corona. The first is OF n woman at I'll
length and leaning on rail The other
by the same artist is OF a half dozen
fairies doing a fairy dance. The picture
by Miss Lee is the profile Of woman
sitting on a stone bench. with her aca3

down her back. Seemingly with all Of

unwarranted The officials then decided

IN JAIL FOR BEING ROBBED
Richman Sued by Certain Skep-
tical Creditors.

This has been a week Of III fortune for
George Richman. a jeweller, at No. III
second avenue Wasn't he bound, gagged
and robbed last Sunday morning by some
men who came in an automobile? And
DIDN'T Mrs. Sadie Tobias, an East Side

said thongs that held him fast on the
fioor7 And didn't Richman shout. tear
lunches Of hair out Of his head and
nearly become hysterlcai when he was
released by excited neighbors?
And didn't Richman tell perfectly
plausible story TO the police about the
bold daylight robbery?
Hickman did, and yet more misfortune
came 10 him yesterday. He was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Fltzsimmons-for being
robbed. Then he was taken to Ludlow
street jail The trouble is that Solomon
sllverfeid, q wholesale jeweller, Of No. II
Nassau street, is not convinced by the
robbery story told by Rlchman. Morris
Landau, another jeweller, also is sone-
what skeptical. Theirs is a strictly COM
rnercial interest in the tale told by Rich
man that the robbers who bound him took
1900 in iewelry and ss25 in cash. Silver
field sold the Second avenue jeweller dia-
inonds valued at sl.oi2 and Landau has a
$50 interest in the robbery" which
amount represents the value OF some
watches that Richman bought from him
on memorandum or credit.

negotiations Silverfield agreed TO accept
Two checks for $517 and SIS, respectively,
on the Mutual Alliance Trust Company
and notes for the remainder of the pur-
chase price. Richman took the spsrklers,
but the first check came back because
he did not have sufficient funds with the
