The commission issued an order based

as Burglar After Chase.

Persons walking on Broadway, at 32d
street last evening saw a patrolman and
half hundred other men chasing a young
negro through the street. The negro car
ried two bulky suitcases and only socks
covered his feet. Despite the handicap
he ran with such speed that most of his
pursuers were winded before the policeman
laid a restraining hand on his coat collar
The patrolman took his prisoner to the
West S0th street police station. where he
gave his name as BILLY Meredith. Of No
S15 West 41st street, and said his father
was a city employe. The police say Mere
dith was just explaining that he was out

burglary as a profession, when Howard

oountant, entered the station house and

He had waited his opportunity, and when
the Bertines left the place, had stolen up

some jewelry off a table he had upset the
telephone. thus being responsible for MS

JUDGE HELD IN ELEVATOR
Imprisoned with Lawyers; Un-
able to Open u. S. Court.

Judge Holt, of the United States District
Court, and dozen lawyers were caught
yesterday in balky elevator in the POST
office Building and were imprisoned be-
tween the first and second doors for TWEEN
ty minutes. The Judge and the other pas
sengers took the trouble calmly and waited
patiently until the large oval cage could
be released from its wedged position and
hauled up to the second floor.
The wait occurred on the elevator in the
northeast corner Of the building which
has only recently been changed from
hydraulic to electric power. Judge Holt,
who was on his way to court, uses this
elevator rarely, as he prefers the elevators
at the south end OF the building. The ele-
vator jam caused some delay in the court
proceedings as Judge Holt and the law
yers were unable to appear on time. The
delay might have been much longer had
not workmen who were busy at the other
corner Of the building repairing anoths
elevator gone to the rescue.
