LAMAR RELEASED
AFTER SENTENCE
Gets Two Years in Prison, but
Gives $4,000 Bail Pend
ing Appeal.

David Lamar was yesterday found
guilty of impersonating a federal of
ficer in an alleged attempt to defraud
J. P. Morgan & Co. and the United
States Steel Corporation. He was
sentenced to two years in the federal
prison at Atlanta. Lamar served notice
Of his intention to appeal and was re-
leased in $4,000 bonds, provided by a
surety company. his bonds of $4,000
on other indictments continuing.
Ordinarily, two years might be ex-
pected to elapse before the case can
be disposed of by the United States
Supreme Court, to which Lamar plans
to take it, but there is a chance that
the removal proceedings now pending
in Washington may afford a decision
on the main point involved-the valid
ity Of the indictment against him.
That failing, the District Attorneys
Office will ask to have the case ad-
vanced on the calendar
They have made mighty fuss over
a very small matter" was Lamar's
only comment.
District Attorney Marshall said after
Lamar had been sentenced that the dis
position of the case against Edward
Lauterbach had not yet been decided
upon.

MRS. DUCAS, MAKING
PLEA, HIDES HOSIERY
Woman, Once Rebuked by Court
for Ankle Display, Demands
Money from Husband.

Mrs. Rachelle \. Ducas was again in
the Supreme Court yesterday TO set
aside the separation agreement she
made with her husband. Benjamin p.
Ducas, president of a chemical COM
pany. under which she agreed to &C
cept $4,000 a year for the support of
herself and her ten-year-old son.
The last time Mrs. Ducas was in
court she offended the dignity and
sense of propriety Of Justice Gavegan
by unwittingly showing too much of a
pair Of light gray silk hose-that is. the
justice, who was facing Mrs. Ducas,
thought there was too much ankle ex-
hibited. Mrs. Ducas wore stylish
short skirt in the court room yesterday.
But she also wore a pair of high shoes.
Mrs. Ducas said that she was induced
20 accept the $4,000 allowance from her
husband on his representation that he
was earning $4,000. when. as a matter
Of fact. his income was more than $780,
900. The couple were married in 1900,
and Mrs. Ducas said she was compelled
10 leave Ducas because he was cruel 20
her She said that after they were
married he promised TO make her the
richest woman in the family. but when
they moved 10 the Hotel Savoy he had
n change Of heart and became more par
ticular about his expenditures. Mrs.
Ducas said her husband told her she
could live on half Of what she ate. "Iie
would not let me take violin lessons"
she said. because he said | was too
lazy. He took me TO the theatre only
three times. ! was allowed only So a
week for spending money. and he would
not make friends because he said it
cost money"

.BRICKLAYERS WAR
ON ALIEN LABOR
Prepare Affdavits in Move
to Enforce Law in
Subway Work.

John Gill. of the bricklayers' union,
which is fighting to enforce the section
of the labor law prohibiting the EN-
ployment of aliens in subway work
said yesterday that a number OF am
davits were prepared showing that
many citizens were idle, while aliens
were employed in the subway. In some
cases, he said citizens were discharged
while aliens were kept at work.
The affidavits will be submitted at
the hearing in the special term OF the
Supreme Court before Judge Newbur-
Der on the application for an inlunc-
ton against the carrying out OF the
provisions of the section Of the law
referred TO. The most important OF
the aflidavits will be one by Mr.. Gil,
in which he says that he has been Ia
miliar with the labor conditions in New
York for many years. o..
Mr.. Gill takes issue in his affidavit
with the statement of Ernest L. Moore
that the question of the employment OF
aliens has never come up before, and
SAYS that it came up two and half
years ago in a complaint of the unions
against the Oscar Daniels Company
that the company employed alien labor
in the section of the Lexington av. sub
way between 108th and l17th SITS. He
then says that the company agreed to
employ citizens only, after the COM
PLANT came before the Public Service
Commission.
Another of the affidavits is by Robert
B. butcher, who says he has been an
expert on tunnel work for a number
CT years and is a citizen. He then said
that he was employed to do timbering
work in a section of the subway, but
was discharged without any reason
along with helper, who was also a
citizen. AS both men were married
and had families, he made a protest, he
said and the company which had the
contract for the work had notices post
Cd saying that men were needed.
Mr.. Gill said there are now 10000 20
10000 citizen workers idle who could
be employed on subway work, so as to
conform to the section of the law pro-
hibiting aliens from employment on
municipal work. He said that he has
been informed by the new Municipal
Labor Bureau that more than 10000
citizens could be furnished on short no
tice if employment awaited them and
that many American workingmen were
kept out of work through the use of
the padrone system in employing
workers.

positors. who are the ones VINO MAKE
the runs. He added that the deposlts

the assets were far in excess OF thac
amount. President Oscar Il: hlcnaru'
of the State Bank, declared his cash on

SEEK SON OF COURT
MAN IN BAFF CASE
Detectives Find He Has
Been Missing Since the
Night of Killing.
MAY HAVE BEEN
THE GO-BETWEEN
Youth Sought Once Said to Have
Been Associated with "Chick-
EN- Handlers" Union.

Search for the murderers of Barnet
Baf yesterday narrowed down to the
apprehension Of son of certain
Brooklyn police court official. who, &C
cording to the police, was formerly
associated with the Chicken handlers
union" and who has been missing from
home since the night of the killing.
According to detectives, he is supposed
10 have acted as the go-between for
the group of conspirators and the
"mOb" which actually did the killing
The detectives allege that the muir
der was committed not by an East
Side gang but by members Of the
Hudson busters" a Greenwich Village
crew of banditti. This is based upon
the fact that the various gangs in THIS
city assign the territory of operati IN
TO each individual combination Of out
laws.
When infringements Of such boun-
daries occur, whether in labor troubles
or on other occasions for local activity
on the part of the resident gang" the
"mob" whose privileges have been
transgressed always exact vengeance
upon the intruders.
Commissioner Arthur Woods yester-
day reiterated his former declarations
as to the necessity for Kidding New
York of gunner and thugs. When
asked whether the lack of a Second
Deputy Commissioner had in any way
handicapped the work of the Detective
Bureau, he said that such a vacancy
did not interfere with the regular work
of this branch of the service. He in
sisted that he did not know when the
vacancy would be filed
Mayor Mitchell yesterday warmly in
doDsed the statement issued by Com
missioner Woods that the police should
use their clubs and revolvers in deal
ing with gunner.
"The best policeman is the fellow
who can pull his gun first. when 1t
comes to dealing with these armed
thugs" said Mr.. Mitchell.

Mayor 81 do not mean that the night
sticks should be used upon decent citi-
zens. who may happen to get into
trouble. That is an entirely different
matter, and / think that the police so
understand the question. However, if
the personal safety of the policeman is
in danger, or if the lives of abiding
citizens are theatened, the use of the
club or revolver is absolutely justified"

POLICE READY FOR
HARLEM RACE RIOT
Men of Several Stations
Mobilize as Negroes
Make Threats.

Disorder prevailed last night and
this morning in New York's negro
colony. in and around 135th ST., with
a POSSIBLE riot lurking at every cor
ner and ready to burst into reality at
the least relaxing of vigilance. That
at any rate, was the view taken by the
police, who spent an anxious night
seeing TO it that nothing happened and
holding themselves ready for instant
action.
Bearing in mind what occurred last
Tuesday night, when the storming Y
Harlem Hospital and the injuring Of
several men followed an argument
begun by one negro soldier, there was
considerable apprehension among the
police of the Lenox av. station when
word was brought early last evening
that fifteen soldiers had arrived from
Fort Slocum and intended TO devote
the evening to an old-fashioned cele-
bration.
CAPTAIN O'Neil, of the LenoX av. sta
ton. communicated with Inspector
Ryan. who sent O'Neil a score of extra
men TO be held in reserve. O'Neil mar
shalled his own reserves, saw to 1t that
nearby stations were informed TO be IN
readiness, stationed an automobile pa
troll in front of the door, sent extra
police and detectives into the negro
district and announced himself ready
for whatever might happen. All told,
he had nearly 100 men on hand.
Special motorcycle patrolmen were
covering the trouble zone, and early in
the evening word came from them that
the departments worst fears were in a
fair way to be realized, as the soldiers,
with an admiring crowd at their heels,
were trooping from saloon TO saloon
along Lenox av., acquiring courage for
the expected outbreak.
With the advance of the evening the
news became more and more alarming,
and the report finally reached the sta
ton that the soldiers were TO avenge
the arrest of their comrade earlier in
the week. More and more gin was be-
ing consumed, said the motorcyclists,
end the trouble might start at any
time.
Early this morning nothing had oc-
Cured, but the police were still con-
fidently awaiting developments and
there was no disposition to relax Wig
lance.
