GREEK EDITOR ARRESTED
Arch Exarch Charges Him with
Libel-Paper War Goes On.

The fight between the "Atlantis' and the
'Prehellenic," two competing Greek news
papers in this city, goes merrily along. 1t
started when Socrates A. Xanthaky, now
editor OF the "Prehellenic," left the employ
OF the Atlantis" and began saying things
about the latter paper and its owners.
Scion ]. Vlasto and his brother. Demetrtus
Vlasto.
Eventually the Wordy warfare got into the
police court, and recently the differences
of the Greek editors got into the Supreme
Court, where Demetrius Vlasto brought
a suit for libel against Xanthaky and had
him arrested, because Xanthaky lives In
New Jersey. Xanthaky was again arrested
yesterday by the Sheriff; this time IN 8
suit for $1,000 damages brought by Scion
j. Vlasto, also based on alleged libel.
Vlasto said in his complaint he was tho
Arch Exarch General Of the Greek Ortho-
dox Church in America. He complained
that the "Prehelenic" had said that he
was IAN international swindler" and "a
shameless exploiter Of things holy ana
sacred, stigrnatzed by the curses OF thou-
sands Of Greeks in America"
It also said Of Mr.. Vlasto that he was a
beggar Exarch." AS for the Atlantis
the "Prehelenic" insisted that Il was IN
"a state Of material and moral bank
ruptcy," and besides this was "a sycophan-
teal, insulting and matchmaking organ
Mr.. Xanthaky gave Sheriff Hamburger
bond for 81 900 and went on his way.

ANGLING IN THE BASEMENT
Owner Bilks Burglar of Cut
Glass Catch.

No bait is needed In fishing Tor cut glass
and stlveyware. This great piscatoriaI dis
covery was made early yesterday morning
by burglar, who, with hook. line and pole,
was detected In the act Of poachjng on the
preserves OF John Reardon, captain OF En-
giue Company Ill, who lives at NO. 10
Wilson street Williamsburg.
Lake true fisherman, the burglar stsSted
out at daybreak 10 catch some fine sheci-
ments Of Captain Reardon's cut lass
Noiselessly he opened ono Of tho basement
windows in tho captains home and thTTst
his pole, line and hook through the iron
barred easement lie dallied @ little before
tho hook caught hold Of one OF the handles
on the punchbowl. which graced the side
board Ia the dining room
The big "fsh7 took u substantial grip on
the hook but the fisherman was obliged to
play Il as though II were demon whale
struggling for life. Up to this time the 1sh-
erman had used great skill in trying to land
his quarry, but at the psychological mo-
neIlt some one opened window on the sec
ond floor The fisherman looked up and
met tho eyes Of Captain Reardop. No more
fishing for the burglar Dropping his out
fit, he ran 10 the fence. vaulted it and made
a quick getaway through wilson street.
AS If he were about to make his way to
a fire. Captain Reardon rushed downstairs
and was out on the street In Jifty. but this
time the captain forgot his fire clothes. He
was attired only in pajamas. He chased the
burglar for several blocks, but the latter
disappeared In Bedford avenue.

women, but released both times for lack
of evidence. His second alleged offence
was committed at St Joseph's Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, at 1SSth street and Bath
gate avenue. He first aroused the sus-
picions Of one Of the sisters. who COM
municated with her brother, a police
man. Detective Conway was sent -
the place, and one night saw man with
a stiletto in his hand attempting to get
through a window. Conway arrested
the man. but the case was dropped on
account OF the reluctance Of the sisters
to appear against him.
The second line of investigation was
into the story about a man said to be
the fiat in which the slashing was done
in addition to the owner Of the house.
Moses Stern. The police refused yester-
day to divulge what they knew OF this
matter.
The first explanation was made by the
police yesterday why, in their opinion,
the hair Of tho little girl had been cut
off. Her locks were found behind the
bloody bathtub, in which the police say
they are satisfied the fatal stabbing was
done. In the hair there were entang!ed
a number Of feathers and particles OF
sawdust The significance Of this, the
police said, seemed to be that the girl
had lain IN the storeroom in the base
80 %Ia az cfaRp or the
attack on her.
In this storeroom, which was used by
the butcher shop Of Mr.. Isaacs upstairs,
there were q quantity Of chicken feath-
ers and sawdust sweepings from the
floor. The police theory was that, before
removing the body from the fiat. the
hair had been slashed off to conceal the
fact that she had been IN that room.
These facts, they said. strengthened their
theory that the murderer was some one
thoroughly familiar with the premises.
Outsiders Bother the Police.
The police were bothered a good deal
yesterday by detectives" and invest-
gators OF all sorts. who offered various
theories and information" One anony-
nous communication stated the MUIR
derer would be back at the scene Of the
crime yesterday. Another informant de-
clared that the crime had not been COM
mitted in the fat. but that the slayer
had simply gone there afterward to
wash his hands.
Still another informant declared he
knew positively that the body Of the
child had not been carried out Of the fiat
by the murderer himself He said that
this was done by man and woman
who had nothing TO DO with the crime
All of this kind OF talk was ignored by
the police, who said that they were sat-
isfed as to the correctness OF their
hypothesis OF the actions Of the slayer,
even if they had as yet no very salts
factory clue to his identity.

ENGINEER WAS ABSENT
Lackawanna EmpIoye Too III to
Appear at Corning Inquiry.

Corning, N. Y, July l0-Willian schroe-
der. engineer Of the Lackawanna express
train which crashed into the passenger
train near here last Thursday, causing the
wreck which cost forty lives. did not ap-
pear for examination at the coroner's in
quest this afternoon.
Schroeder's physician informed Coroner
Smith that the engineers physical condi-
ton was such that he could not stand
grilling cross-eXamination. Schroeder's
testimony is considered of vital Importance,
It having been testified that he was ap-
parently intoxicated shortly before he took
his train out on its fatal run. Coroner
Smith late to-day adjourned the inquest
until Monday, when Schroeder and Hunt
ley, his fireman, will be called TO testify.
One point was brought out at the in
Quest this afternoon which the representa-
tlves OF the Interstate. Commerce Commits
sion evidently believed important from the
question which they asked. Timothy ].
Harnett, OF Elmira, road foreman Of en-
sinos Of the Lackawanna, testified that
the engine which hauled the freight train.
tho staling OF which caused the track
blockade which made the wreck possible,
was sent out OF Elmira without repairs
having been made which the engineer re-
ported as being necessary. These repairs
would have affected the steaming power
Of the engine. he said.
The witness admitted that had the en-
CINE been in good condition the freight
would probably have made the siding and
been out OF the way so that No. 8 would
not have been forced 10 come tc a stand
still on the main track in the position In
which Il stood when train No. II struck
IT.
Two more witnesses testified this after
noon as TO Schroeder's condition O few
hours before he left Elmira IN charge Of
his train. Jemes Falsey, an Elmira saloon
keeper, testified that the engineer was in
his place, IN company with Charles Sharp,
q bartender. at Il o'clock the night before
tho wreck The TWO remained only few
