Mr.. Brockoway's memory was so faulty
that after several repetitions of tho an

his smiles. while his shoulders shook with

SALOON HOLO-UP BY TAXI
Two Robbers Cover Bartender
with Pistols and Take Cash.
POLICE MAKE QUICK ARREST
Rarity of Taxicabs at That Cafe
Led to Suspicion and Gave
Valuable Clew.

While Barney Ames, the bartender in a
saloon at Tompkins and Grand streets, was
serving drinks to a number Of customers
early yesterday morning. two undersiEed
men. stockily built, after ordering several
drinks. covered him pistols and demanded
that he give them all the money in the
cash register Although Ames is a little
over six feet tall ard known TO be some
what OF g fighter, he was caught off his
guard and there was nothing he could do
but turn over the days receipts.
So quickly was the hold-up accomplished
that the half dozen or more men that we're
IN the place did not recover their speech
or muscle powers until long after the in
truders had left the saloon. Aues, how
ever, as soon as the men hurried out of
the saloon, went right after them. He
said before he could summon the police
he saw them enter taxicab and speed
away.
While the police were searching the
neighborhood for a clew that might lead
10 the identity Of the hold-up men, they
found a man believed TO be "Gamy' Isola
in the yard behind the building az No. "a
Laisht street. Isola, who is said TO be one
Of the band who held up An1es, had a
bullet hole behind the right ear and
stab wound in his chest. He was taken TO
the Hudson Street Hospital. where IT was
said late last night that he was in a criti-
cal condition
Patroiman Rosenberg Of the Clinton
street station, had just been relieved from
his fixed post near the saloon, and came
up Just as Ames reached the outside door
OF the saloon. remarking to Ames that u
seemed rather queer TO have a taxicab
down there at such an early hour.
First time I ever saw fellows hire
taxicab to visit your place" he said what
we're they doing In there? They didn't stay
long"
No, they didn't stay long" said Ames.
Il think they have an appointment some
where else. They remained long enough to
get all the cash In the drawer"
The taKicab which figured in the hold-up.
according to the police, belonged to the
Imperial Garage Company, at No. 70
I'd street. Al o'clock an order was re-
ceived al the garage to send a taxicab TO

lice, picked up four men at the Chatham
Square address, and was told TO drive TO
the saloon at Tompkins and Grand streets.
Gottlieb told the police that two Of them
got out when they reached the saloon and
went into the place. They remained only
few minutes, he said, and then ordered
him 10 drive 20 No. % Laight street. lie

CAN'T REACH EXPRESS CO.'S
Decision by Judge Hollister
Blocks Federal Regulation.

Cincinnati April @-Judge Hollister, in
the United States District Court granted
to-day a motion to set aside service made
by the government upon an agent of the
Adams Express Company, which was in
dicted by a special grand jury on the
charge of violating the interstate com
merce laws by overcharging.
This action Is equivalent to quashing the
indictment, and practically places outside
the reach of the government in the regula-
tlon of interstate commerce the Adams, the
United States and the American express
companies
1t was held by attorneys for the express
companies that service could not be made
upon the agent, c. r. Barrett, of Cincin-
natl, because the Adams Express Company
is neither q corporation nor an individual
and that the law confines It's operation TO
these two classes. The Adams, they de-
clared, is a stock association. and to indict
it the government would have 10 ndict the
ten thousand stockholders.
II is said the United States and American
express companies have organizations sim.

ridge-that he had used money to oostruct
the course Of justlce-was dismissed by the

the matter before the United States Attor-
ney and the District Attorney, TO see IL
the lawyer had done any wrong. This step
