POSTAL
THIEF |SARRESTED
Man Wanted in, Newark Is Cap
tured by Kansas City
Police.

Local postoffice inspectors got word
today of the arrest in Kansas City
of the young man who is believed to
be the author of forged postoffice
money orders purporting to be is
sued from the Newark postoffice.
He is known as Neil McConlogue
and by many other names and says
he is a vaudeville actor. On Novem-
Der s, bunch of lis blank domestic
money order forms were stolen from
the postoffice sub-station at Plane
and Bieecker streets and since then
three or four a week have been
showing up at the postoffice for re-
demption. The victims are keepers
OF hotels who cater to the patronage
of vaudeville actors of small income
At least twenty orders have
reached the local postoff1ce calling for
more than $1,000. The scheme has
been worked in other, parts of the
country, but never before with New
ark as a base. 1t Is not difficult for
an actor to sell such money orders
to hotel clerks who deal with actors,
as that is the favorite method by
which actors save their money while
travelling.
Each week they work they buy a
money order made out to themselves,
payable in New York or Sheir home
town, and when the season is nvcr
they cash the orders as hey noed
them When caught short for money,
far from the city where the order is
payable, they always can sell the
order to hotelkeepers.

Five Gangsters Arrested
for Intimidating Baff
Witnesses in Roundup

NEW YORK, Dec 22.-Learning
that gangsters belonging to the Hud-
son Busters organization were in
timidating prospective witnesses In
the Barnet Baff murder case, de-
tectives secured the lower West Side
during the night and early this
morning and completed an old-time
cleanup of the gang. Five arrests
were made.
Many of the gangsters who put up
a fight found the detectives fully
prepared to carry out Mayor Mitch
els instructions to "get there first"
and there were several interesting
scuffles during the night in the
haunts of gangsters and not few
broken heads this morning as a re-
suit. Practically all of the mem
bers of the gang were cleaned up
and told that 1t would be best for
their health to get out of town at
once and stay out.
The cleanup of the gangsters was
the result of information that reach
ed Commissioner Woods yesterday
afternoon. He learned that emissa-
ries from the Hudson busters
had been calling on merchants
of the West Washington Market who
had been subpoenaed as grand jury
witnesses in the Baff case, with the
warning that any attempt to aid the
police in their investigation would
call for gang vengeance.

Attempt to ResCind 0. K. of
Saftey at Sea Lost in Senate

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-An at
tempt, led by administration senators,
to resclnd the ratification of the Lon
don safety at-sea convention, because
of reservations, which, 1t was con-
tended, nullify the treaty. was defeat
ed today on parliamentary tech
nicality.
When the Senate ratified the con-
vention last week 1t reserved the right
of the United States to fix higher
standards on all ships in American
waters than those provided in the
treaty. State department officials
viewed the modification as virtually
multiplying the treaty, and after con-
ference with President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan Senate leaders deter
mined to urge reconsideration. The
motion today was ruled out OF order
ON the ground that 1t had not been
asked for within the time provided
by the Senate rules The convention
provides that Publications must be
exchanged between the signatory
powers by December 81.
