MAYOR CAYNOR IS BLAMED FOR
 WAVE OF CRIME
Cops Believe Band Of Western Gunmen And Crooks Has SwOOped Down Upon
 New York
Especial from United PressD :.


 New York, Feb. dissatisfied that a band of western gunmen and ex- pert crooks are operating here, the police department got in touch by telephone, today, with heads of the police forces in Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City and other western cities to learn, if possible, if any holdup men are missing there This action followed the admission by the police that they have not single live clue to work on in running down the crooks who, yesterday, held up bank messengers and stole $25,QOO and, on Saturday, held up 8, paymaS- ter and stole nearly $1,0O0.
 Every man that could be spared from Central Office and the down job, today, and the entire financial district was flooded with platnclothes men who were ordered to prevent further crimes there. In addition, erty and 1nSp ector Hughes Of the de tective bureau were bluntly told they had to get the perpetrators of yes terday's outrage in a hurry or get
 Bankers and fnanciers in the down town district are satisfied the police are of no protection and, under the law, they can no longer depend on their own private watchmen, all per mits for armed special policemen having been withdrawn by order of Mayor Gaynor.
 Despite the prohibition, messengers carrying money, today, were accom- panied by husky individuals whose pockets bulged suspiciously and who were not scrutinized too carefully by the policemen on the beats.
 The police blamed Mayor Gaynor s attitude toward unnecessary arrests, " today, for the present wave of crime. They said that it is impossible now a-days to ''pick up'' known crooks. Businessme downtown defled, to- day, the law which makes possession of deadly weapons a felony and re- voIvers and automatic pistols, here tofore kept strictly under cover, were in evidence among cashiers and oth- CTS who preside over cash drawers. The police have under arrest Charles Rossi, who, they claim, Is also known as Charlie Young and by other names. The police say they have witnesses who will identify him as having been concerned in Saturdays holdup of
 Irving Beckerman, on the Bowery,
 when he was robbed of nearly $1,000.
 Although Geno Montani the chauf- feur of the cab held up by the robbers
 is still detained at police headquar- ters, no formal charge has been plac- ed against him and the police say they are holding him simply as wit ness.

Sword Duel In
 France Is Most
 Humorous Affair
Especial from United Press.D

Paris. Feb. 16.-Real red blood not very much though-howed, to- day, as the result of the duel between Emile Mas, critic of the theatrical journal Comaedia, and Gaston De Caillavet, co-author with Robert De- FIeires, of the comedy Primerose, now playing at the Comedie Fran caise.
 The duel, which was with swords, was one of the most humorous per formances in the history of French dueIIing. Neither man knew the point of the sword from the hilt and after being instructed by their sec onds, went hot at it, using their wea- pons most of the time as though they were canes or bludgeonS and trying to beat each other over the head with them.
 Tho worst sufferer was CaiIlavet's second, who got in the way of the flying swords and was "pinked'' twice on his forearm. Finally, more by ac- cident than design, Cafllavet was gashed slightly in the forearm and as the blood appeared, there was a hurried chorus from all of the attend ants that Honor was now satisfied and the battle" must end. Neither of the contestants had to be strong ly persuaded to quit. There was no reconciliation despite the suggestion of the seconds that the two kiss and make up." A second duel may be fought.

The speech OF United States Ser
ator Duncan L. Fletcher at the dedi-
cation of the Olustee battlefield mon
ument Wednesday was notable
piece Of oratory. altogether worthy
of the man and the occasion. The

consigned to everlasting oblivion.
