CROOK
JAILED BY VICTIM
Leads One to Policeman, Other
Is Captured Through
Telegram.

Charged with the attempted lar
ceny of $400, Samuel Hendel, % years
old, of ia Forsythe street, New York,
and Max L. Gottlieb, 81 years old, of
1886 East Ninety-fifth street, New
York, were arraigned before Acting
Judge Yuill in the Fourth Precinct
Court today and held in $1,000 bail
for a hearing next Friday morning.
Harris Balmuth, of 160 Broome street,
appeared as the complainant against
the two men.
Yesterday morning, while Balmuth
was walking down Springfield ave-
nue., he was accosted by Hendel 1t
is alleged, and asked what the fare
would be to Denver, Colo. Balmuth
told the man he didn't know. Ac-
cording to Balmuths story, Hendel
then showed him a pair of diamond"
earrings and told him they had once
belonged to his wife, and that he was
looking for a pawn-shop SO that he
could raise enough money on them
to get to Denver. Balmuth said that
sell the stones than pawn them, and
asked if Balmuth would care to buy
them. While they were talking, Gott-
lieb came along and said he was a
gbweler, and told Balmuth that the
diamonds were worth at least $400
II. Balmuth said that he would first
have to get the money from the bank
and they started to walk over High
street, until they came within sight of
Mounted officer Burger, of the Fourth
precinct. When Balmuth saw the
officer he grasped Hendel by the coat
and held him until the policeman
placed him under arrest. Gottlieb es-
capped.
1t seems that two years ago Mrs.
Balmuth was stopped by the same
two men, it is said, and trimmed"
out of $35. The men at that time told
her the same story that they told her
husband yesterday, and Balmuth, re-
membering the incident, gave them
the impression that he was going to
the bank and in that way caused
Hendel's arrest
Yesterday afternoon a messenger
boy appeared at the Fourth precinct
station with a telegram for Hendel.
1t was opened by the police and
read Give messenger with direc-
tions what to do" and was signed
Bessie Gottlieb" Plainclothesman
Kaas signed for the message and sent
the boy back to the Postal Telegraph
office in Clinton street. Kaas then
boarded a car and went to the office
himself. At the telegraph office he
found Gottlieb waiting for the reply
and placed him under arrest. Today
Balmuth identified him as the man
who was "jeweler."
When the two men were arraigned
today Simon Green, of 7 Belmont
avenue. and his brother Bernard, of
12 Hayes street, appeared at the sta
tion and identified the two men as
the parties who swindled them out of
$500 in New York city on May 16
last with the same Denver jewelry
story.
Acting Judge Yuill referred the two
brothers to the New York police with
their complaints, as the incident had
happened in that city.
According to the police, about three
additional complaints will be taken
against the two men. They were
taken to police headquarters follow
ing their arraisnment to be "mugged'
and Bertilloned.

R. R. PEACE NEAR
AS ERIE SUBMITS
Outstanding Roads Conces-
sion Gives Arbitrators Hope of
Early Adjustment of Trouble.

NEW YORK, July 23,-The federal
mediators expected to make rapid
progress today toward establishing
grounds for peaceful arbitration of
the differences between the Eastern
railroads and their conductors and
trainmen
The satisfactory disposal yesterday
of the side issue involving the Erie
left only the problem of getting the
railroad managers and the labor lead
ers to agree upon specifications of the
points to come before the arbitrators
to be chosen under the new Newlands
act
The board of mediation and arbi-
tration today planned to determine
whether these articles for arbitration
stated by the railroad against the
men.
If the roads persisted in their re-
fusal to withdraw these, the media
tors hoped to persuade the employees
to consent that the demands of the
railroads should be taken up immedi-
ately after the board of arbitration
had decided the questions involved in
the demands of the men.
The Erie, which had withdrawn
from the railroad pool in the nego-
tiations and refused to advance
wages or to be held by an arbitration
award, is now in line, and the Board
of Mediation and Cancellation expects
It's work to go smoothly to finish.
President Underwood. of the Erie,
4
art, from Wauwatosa, Wis, that the
Erie would accept any award made
by the board of arbitration, but in
the event an advance of wages is
granted would ask the men to defer
accepting such increase until Janu-
airy |, 1915.

W|TTPENN PIRACY
ON WILSON SHIP
Of STATE Barred
Gubernatorial Candidate Held
Up President for Crater
and Lippincott Jobs.
DEMAND OF RANSOM WAS
FOR BALTIMORE VOTES
Wilson Never Forgave Ambi-
tious Jersey City Man, There
fore Refuses Him Aid.
IFrom a stnn correspondent

TRENTON, N. j.. July 23.-Former
Mayor II. Otto Wittpenn lost any
chance he might have had of secur-
ing President Wilson'S Endorsement
for his gubernatorial boom when he
held Wilson up last summer and
forced a deal on the delegates to- the
national convention from Hudson
county.
This, in a nutshell, is the explana-
tion offered here by men who claim
to know, for the continued refusal OF
the President to take any interest in
the Wittpenn boom. Although loudly
heralded last winter as the "Wilson
candidate for Governor, 1t is the be-
lief of most political observers, both
here and at the national capital, that
while Wittpenn has had the backing
of few Wilson followers, the Presl-
dent himself has never given anybody
reason to believe that he was especial
ly friendly to the former mayors can
didacy.
Wittpenn Names His Terms.
The story of how Wittpenn
"queered" himself with Wilson is that
he demanded and got the appoint
ment of David S. Crater as secretary
of state and of Job Lippincott as as
sistant secretary of state, as the
price of Wilson delegates to the Bal
timore convention from Hudson and
Monmouth counties. Although the
story has not before been printed, 1t
has been common political gossip for
a year among New Jersey Democrats
who know of the situation at the time,
When the office of secretary of state
became vacant 1t was understood that
State Senator George S. Silzer, OF
Middlesex county, was to have the
job. Silzer has been a Progressive in
the Senate, and himself believed he
was Governor Wilson'S choice for the
place.
Wittpenn had begun planning his
gubernatorial fight before that. In
fact, from the outset of the Wilson
administration, he had been seeking
to strengthen his fences everywhere
by building up a personal machine.
As mayor, his chief energies had
been directed to that end, and 1t was
his program to put enough of his
personal friends in State offices to
give. him control of the State situa-
tion, with the view to soaring other
candidates out of the primaries this
fall.
Wilson in Fear Acquiesces.
Wilson and his lieutenants in the
re-convention fight of last year were
naturally anxious to capture the New
Jersey delegation. They were count
ing on wittpenn and Crater for help
m -
Governors surprise, 1t is said, Witt
pen demanded terms.
Unless Crater and Lippincott were
placed in the office of secretary of
state, it is alleged that Wittpenn told
the Governor he could not count on

HACKENSACK, N. J., July %
Official returns on the special election
held yesterday for n successor to the
late Congressman Lewis J. Martin, of
the sixth congressional district, came
in very slowly today, but there was
every indication that Archibald c..

least 5000 plurality. Friends of the
successful candidate here believe that
he has secured larger majority and
that when official returns have been

by which the late Congressman Mar
