BY WINDOW BANDIT
S-nashes Glass and LocH:s
Door While Broadway
Crowds Pass.

A slight young man wearing sort
gray hat and a tan raincoat stepped
out of the stream Of pedestrians going
north In Broadway about $50 last
evening and stopped in front OF Jew
elry store opposite the Hotel Marlbor-
ough- -Blenheim. He drew brick from
under his coat, tapped hole in the
window, drew out tray OF diamonds
worth SIS, 900, leaped across the side
walk into q taxicab, and sped off tow
ard Seventh avenue.
Michael Rosenthal, the jeweller, was
in the shop with his daughter. a
nephew, Harry Rosenthal, and sales
man. The sound of the broken glass
startled Rosenthal into action. He got
to the front door to find that some one
had chained AMI padlocked il from the
outside. He and his assistants finally
ripped the door open and stumbled out
into Broadway yelling for the police.
Patrolman Burdick was blowing hts
whistle merrily and trying TO COM
mandeer a taxicab. The excited crowd
in Broadway split, half Of it charging
Rosenthal and his salesman and the
other sweeping down on the policeman.
Traffic was held up for several minutes,
and by the time Burdick was in POSI-
ton for action the thief and the tray
Of diamonds had a mile start.
Detectives who hurried out on the
case were convinced last night that the
robbery was carefully planned and
timed. The chain on the shop door
connected the door handle with verti-
cal bar set into the building, TO which
an iron gate is attached every night
at the closing hour. Padlocks were
used to fasten the chain at both ends,
and the paddock on the handle was Of
iust the size to fit, although the handle
is unusually thick.
The chain was wound with tape to
deaden the noise as 1t was attached to
the door.
Patrolman Burdick saw the thief
lump into the taxicab as the chauffeur
threw on full speed. but the press OF
traffic cut off his view Of the license
number. He gave the detectives good
description of the escaping man.

FIRST SAW BROTHER
OF ALLEGED PLOTTER
Prosecutor Thinks Perjur-
flow Held for Trial,
Was Paid for Affidavit.
GOFF'S RULING UPHELD
District Attorney Quizes Clancy
New Trial Set for May g.
''Dago" Frank Buried.

District Attorney Whitman Is con-
WINGED that he eliminated a prospective
witness for the defence at the second
trial OF Charles Becker, which was set
Yesterday for May 6. when he obtained
from Carl Dresner, one Of the witnesses
who testified In behalf Of the four gun
men on the motion for a new trial be-
fore Justice Goff last Saturday, an affl-
davtt refuting his testimony at that
time and admitting that he committed
perjury.
Dresner came to the District Attor-
news once yesterday after he had read
IN the papers that Mr.. Whitman was to
investigate the affidavits made by the
witnesses before Justice Goff. and con-
fessed his perjury to the District AT
torney through fear that his false tes-
timony would be found out.
Later Dresner was arraigned before
Justice George J. O'Keefe, In Speciai
sessions, and held in $1,000 bail to
await the action of the grand jury. He
was committed TO the Tombs.
Thinks Dresnsr Was Paid.
The District Attorney is reasonably
certain that Dresner received money
for making his AFFIDAVIT though Dres-
rer denied II Yesterday. 1t is believed
that a few days in the Tombs, prior to
his formal indictment and rearraign-
ment in General Sessions. will give the
xo,,nc bartender time TO realize his
whole duty and tell all the circum-
stances leading TO the making OF the
affidavit.
Dresner made his affdavit at the Of
fee Of wahle & Kringel, counsel for
the four gunner. the day before he
testified at the hearing before Justice
Gof. He told the District Attorney
that he made two affiSavits at that
time. The first one was drawn up by
II. Lionel Kringel, Of the firm, and
later when Judge Wahle appeared he
made a second one, which he said was
much stronger" than the first He
said he signed both Of them.
Judge wahle said last night that
Dresner did not mention that any one
had sent him to the gunmen's counsel.
He said that rough form Of affidavit
had been drawn up before he arrived
ar the Office, and 1t not being clear aud
satisfactory he had drawn up a second
one, which Dresner signed. Dresner
told the story to him as he told 1T on
the witness stand, Mr.. Wahle said, and
he believed that the young man was
telling the truth at the time.
He came to our office on Friday
last" said Mr.. wahle, "and declared
that he wanted to tell what he had seen
Of the shooting of Rosenthal, because
his conscience bothered him. He gave
no other reason for wanting to tell his
story. submitted him to a sharp
cross s-examination and became con-
vinced that his story y-as true"
Talked with Becker's Brother.
Dresner told the District Attorney he
had seen and talked with John Becker,
Charles Becker's brother, and had COM
nnunicated with Joseph A. Shay, who
was Becker's counsel until he withdrew
from the case Tuesday, before he went
TO Mr.. Wahle. Shay and John Becker

feds WON'T DIE,
OUTDRAN MAJORS
Gilmore Willing to Make
Public Attendance
Figures
WILL SIGN
STAR PLAYERS

James a. Gilmore, president Of tho
Federal league, has challenged organ
lied baseball to make public its at
tendance figures in the cities where it
has clubs competing With the Fed
erals. declaring that If they did SO
he would make public the Federal
attendance in those cities and these
figures will show he says, that Ia
five Of tho eight cities where we are
competing with organized baseball we
are outdrawing them two and 1--WE 10
one"
Gilmore declared that despite the
adverse rulings In the court as re-
CARDS the Federals viewpoint on the
reserve clause in the baseball con
tract, he and his legal advisors still
believed that the reserve clause was
not valid, and that they would fight it
70 the highest courts Gilmore de-
clared also that his league would
continue to Sign up all players
whose contracts expire at the end OF
this season
Gilmore spiked the story being told
by organized baseball that he prom
ise1 all the men who backed a Fed
eral league club some big returns by
saying
II never promised any man who
came into the Federal league huge
profits. | told each man whom in
terested that ! felt there was room
for third big league. but that for the
first two or three years ii was rather
rough sailing for as because We had
TO buck organized opposition warn
ed each man that there was not
bare chance Of his making money for
az least two or more years. and every
man who backed Federal league
team entered into the Federal league
FUZZY cognizant of that fact
During the last month personal
Is have visited every Federal league
city and have had lengthy talks with
the men behind the different clubs.
Not one is discouraged and every man
VIII stick to the new league. conf
dent that success OF tic highest kind
Will come 20 us within two or three
years"
Discussing the fact that some OF
the Federal league clubs have res
duo ca their admission prices. Gilmore
said
1T took the American league three
I years In which to form their present
compact form, and furthermote--.jt
took some Of tho clubs until 1910 ana
1911 before they charged what is COM
monty known as major league prices
In connection with the above
wish to state that II is rather easy
matter for any organization which
has complete monopoly to regulate
its prices and make them high The
Federal league desires 60 furnish
amusement to the people at a price
commensurate with the services rem
dered ! am convinced there Is a bus
mess depression throughout the
United states. and that under such
conditions amusement should be fur
nished az the lowest possible price
Organized baseball has repeatedly
reported that the Federal league
would die natural death They
gave the Federal league until July
49, This statement appeared idiotir
to the vast majority or fans The
Federal league still lives and will con-
tinuC TO live. We are in the game
to stay"
