including salary and fees for extra
work."
His salary, he says, was $40 a week.
For this he supervised Il dozen of his
gang who hung around shops to in
timidate persons attempting to pass
police lines on their way to work.
He told Mr.. Du .vivier his fees for
extra work. from SIS to $500.
The amount depended on the sort of
person to be "beaten up" on the risk
involved. and on the extent Of the re-
CURED beating"
Fem told of n score of East side
men from whom he could select half a
dozen to do the dangerous tasks for a
small part OF his fee. The weapon
mostly used was gas pipe wrapped in
newspaper.
When he began work, he said. he
aided in actual assaults. Later, as his
business grew and he had more rou
BILE with the police, he left more work
to subordinates. Recently it has been
his custom to meet his gang near the
place selected for the assault, give
them instructions and then retire to a
corner or a nearby window to see his
instructions carried out.
He could be hired by other employ
ers or unionists, but the bulk OF his
work was for the unions. he said.
His greed led to his downfall. When
B. Salmonwitz. organizer Of the
butchers union. was conducting a
strike. Fein demanded employment
from him at 5000.
Fem was shocked when Salmonwitz
declined his services on the ground
that the strike was to be on strictly
legitimate lines and the leaders would
frown on pouring kerosene on meat.
Fein threatened if he were not en-
ployed to see that Salmonwitz was
killed. The labor leader went to the
police and Fem was arrested upon &C
cepting $50 in marked bills.
Fein has not told his reason for
~"squealing." According to Ah~n~~-,
Harawitz, his lawyer, 1t is due to tho
influence. Of a young woma wn.A. -
married soon after his last release
from Sing Sing.
Fem has given to Mr.. Du Viyier the
names Of a dozen or more labor men
who, he says, either hired him or
played some part in his business. Sew
eral unions are involved.
Police Commissioner Woods has as
signed Detective Woods and Lieuten-
ant Costigan to check UP the story,
which may be placed before the grand
jury. Mr.. Wasservogel and Mr.. Du
Vivier are confident that most Of the
story is true.

lib. cahle 10 The Thhune.

London. Dec. 26.-The Dean of West

large congregation at Westminster
Abbey on Christmas morning, said
th..t all thoughts were turning towards
the thousands Of their countrymen who
were serving in the trenches of Fland-

those watching Unwearyingly on the
sea.
"At the present moment" he said.
"ChristendOm was shocked and af-

of women and children in order to sat
isfy a bloodthirsty policy Of ruthless
barbarism They might well inquire "
he continued. whether il was TO be

pened TO be strong enough was in fu-

ference at the Hague as he found in
convenient to the fullhlment Of some
barbarous scheme, and whether all
neutral nations were going TO look
without protest in hypnotized stupor

Breach Made in Lines of
Germans on Pilica River

London, Dec. 26.-"The Daily Chron-
icle" publishes the following dispatch
from its PetrOgrad correspondent:
Serious Importance is attached by
military authorities to the last official
report on the successes of the Russian
arms on the Bzura River and it's tribu-
tary, the Rawka, and where the battle
has developed to the south of the
Rawka, between that river and the left
bank OF the Pilics, the Rawka- Tomas
COW line.
"The Russian disposition on the
Bzura is now considered not to be
threatened. this in consequence of d
serious breach made in the enemy's
forces gathered on the Pilica. The
Russians position is also Influenced
by the progress of their forces I'm the
region of Opoezno, east of the Pilica.
and Tomaszow, on the Pilica, near
Petrokow.
The Russian success reported i'm
Eastern Prussia is confirmed by the
general flight of the population into
the interior OF Germany.
THE capture of a section Of field
railway a. Przemysl is supposed to be
severe blow 10 the beseged fortress.
including, as il did, the capture of for
titications protecting il. BY extraordi-
nary efforts the Germans are drawing
together upward OF 100000 men to
the Russian front. The purpose of the
extensive battles near Warsaw is to
divert the Russians from Eastern Prus-
sla and chiefly to prevent their passage
, to Silesis and Morayia. The present
calm near Cracow probably conceals
preparations for most important cam
paign."

CAT TURNS ATHLETE
AS BIG GUNS BOON

London, Dec. 25.-During the fight in
which the armed liner Carmania sank
the German commerce destroyer Cap
Trafalgar the ships cat on the Car
mania broke various worlds records in
sprints and high jumps. writes a mem
Der Of the crew to friends in London.
"The old cat didn't seem to know
what to make of it," says the letter.
"He was on ordinary occasions a lazy
kind of cat, and spent most OF his time
hunting sunny corners for sleep. But
when the firing commenced he covered
the whole ship like streak, from
foc'sle head TO stern. on deck and be-
low, trying to climb masts and scram-
BILE up the funnel, and every time
gun was fired he would jump up in the
air as high as the tops Of the freight
booms. 1t was some time after the
fight before he quieted down to his old
habits. But we will match him against
anv other cat in the world in his pecul-
lar kind of athletics"

GERMANY'S LOSSES
PUT AT 100000
lBy Gable 10 Tn, Th1uns.l

Berne. Switzerland. Dec. 25.--Colonel
Feyler. in "Le Journal de Geneve," es-
Inmates the losses of the German army,
not including the losses of the last few
weeks, at 100000. Germany's latest
excuse for disregarding the Geneva
Convention and not releasing Red Cross
men taken prisoners is that she has
so many prisoners that she may re-
Quire them in case OF the outbreak OF
an epidemic. IL l. understood, how
ever, that neutral governments, es-
pecially the United States, have made
representations TO Germany on the sub
ject. and that her answer is not made
known. The treatment Of prisoners,
especially the English, in Germany is
not improving, and a committee COM
posed of delegates Of the Spanish and
American embassies in Berlin, of the
Geneva Red Cross and of members OF
the German Red Cross has been formed
and will visit all prisoners camps in
Germany.

GERMANY REFUSES
TO ACCEPT CONSULS
Notifies NeutraIs She Will
Not Recognize Those
in Belgium.

Washington. Dec. 95.-Germany has
notified some of the neutral countries
having consuls in Belgian territory now
under German military authority that
the exequaturs crediting the consuls TO
Relgium will not be recognized further,
though provisional recognition will be
granted to those countries so desiring.
Representatives Of South American
republics have Informed Secretary
BRYAN Of the receipt Of such notice
from Germany, but State Department
officials said tonight they knew OF no
communication on this subject belhg
received here. Il is believed IN dlplo-
matte circles, however. that the notice
is on its way to all powers whose con-
suls will be affected.
The attitude TO be assumed ny the
American republics toward this action
is expected 10 be considered by the
Pan-American Commission. composed
Of Secretary Bryan and eight otner
members of the governing board OF the
Pan-American Union. recently named
20 study questions relating to malnteh-
ance Of neutrality in this hemisphere.
DIPLOMATS say the subject is one of eX-
ceeding delicacy and one in regard to
which the American countries probably
would desire to act i'm unity.
II became known tonight that all
the members of the Pan-American
Commission already have been apprised
of the German notification. A special
committee of three members. it was
said. might be selected to give pre-
liminary study to the matter and re-
port 10 the full commission.
In the meantime, constant cable COM
munication between the ambassadors
and ministers here and their govern
ments will be maintained, and the for
mer will be guided largely by the opin-
ions and desire of their respective
governments.

Russians in Rear Guard
Action, Says Berlin Expert

Berlin, Dec. % (by wireless to Say
vile, y. Y)-Among the items given
out to-day by the Official Press Bureau
are the following:
Despite the evident stubborn
nature Of the fighting along the whole
eastern front. Major Moraht, military
correspondent Of the 'Berliner Tage-
blatt,' says he is inclined TO believe
th~t the Russians resistance is no new
offensive, but is made up merely of
rear post combats designed to cover
the retirement OF the main armies for
reorganization back Of the middle Wis
tulI This, he thinks, is particularly
the case in Southern Poland and
Galicia, where the nature of the ter
rain behind the Russians is such that
time must be gained to permit them to
reach the position set for reorgani-
zstion, even at the risk that the rear
post troops may not be able TO come
back.
