Butler, y. j., April % Bart Dunn
was saved from jail, for the present at
least, by his fancee. Mrs. Olivia f..
Lakeland. b. grace of $4,000 cash bail
given by her and a $4,000 bond secured
by her $4,000 home in Summit, y. j.,
he was able to enjoy her companion
ship amid the comforts Of the Bancroft
health resort here instead Of going 10
the Morris County Jail pending his re
turn to New York by the cXtradltion
proceedings started to-day.
This appearance of Mrs Lakeland
here, ready to lay her money at the
feet of the law to keep the former
Tammany leader and fugitive from
justice out of jail, was the first in
timation the world at large had that
there was a romance in Dunn's life.
She is a wealthy widow and pre-
viously to his coming here Dunn
stayed in Summit, where she lives.
Among evidences OF her goodly sup
plv of worldly comforts was new
touring car in which the widow
dashed from her home 20 Butler to
assist Dunn in his trouble.
She is tall, dark woman, with large
brown eyes, and voice that sounds
as if il might be contralto if she sings.
She is using her voice considerably to-
day in fighting Dunn's battle for him.
This battle was over the question as
to whether he was in p condition to
be taken to jail. Benjamin Haas. as
sistant District Attorney Of Rockland

TO cell.
He found strong force Of allies
against him. The sanatorium people
have stood firmly with Mrs. Lakeland
in the two days fighting TO thwart
Haas. To go back a day, Haas came
here yesterday under urgent orders
from District Attorney Thomas Gagan,
of Rockland County, to get Dunn into
custody.
Mr.. Haas had with him Sheriff Ser
ven and Deputy Sheriff Stebbins from
Rockland County. Before showing their
hand. they rcconnoitred the situa-
tior They discovered that the Ban
croft Health Resort occupied stra-
tegic position on the top of hull.
ANY approach to it from the front
would have to be under' the full gaze
OF those within.
So thov secuted up the hill from the
rear. They had hopes that they might
find Dunn strolling about the grounds.
They had no warrant, but they had ur-
gent orders from Mr. Gagan. II might
even have been in their hearts to kid
nap Dunn and rush him back across the
New York line.
But they did not find the man they
sought Instead they met Mrs. Thorn
lev. wife Of DR.. Frederick Thornley,,
the resident doctor. She told them
there was no such person as Mr.:
Dunn there. Then they were denied
admission to the sanatorium.
So they went back to the village and
hunted up Robert +. Getty. Justice of
the Peace. From him they obtained
warrant, charging Dunn with being a
fugitive from justice.
Armed with this and reinforced by
Constable Francis Cook, they returned
to the citadel Of health on the hill.
This time the people at the sanatorium
yielded. i was admitted that Bart
Dunn was there. and Mr.. Haas was al
lowed 70 90 with Constable Cook to
his room TO serve the warrant.
The warrant was duly served. This

Sidney Rogers, who has been missing
from his home at 800 Riverside Drive
since Tuesday, has been traced 20
Yonkers. I'm an all-day search of that
vicinity Yesterday the boys father and
mother met several persons Who were
sure they had seen him The moving
picture studios i'm the neiChborhood are
what attracted Sidney to that locality.
Thinking that her sons fordness for
the movies" might lead him 70 seek a
position as a film actor, Mrs. Rogers
began canvass of the studios yestor-
day morning. She first visited the
Reliance Studio at the extreme north
ern end of the city, in the Clara Morris
mansion. Her description Of Sidney
Tailed exactly with that Of a boy who
had applied for a place there Wcdncs-
day afternoon.
Rose. the negro property mistress ut
the studio, told MIS-. Rogers she had
talked with the boy.
"Ilc came with another fellow about
twenty years DID," she told Mrs.
Rogers THE other fellow was rather
rough looking. and ! was surprised 10
see them together They wanted 10 get
a job, but Mr.. McGlll, the director, was
busy putting on a cowboy scene and
couldn't see them. | asked them -
leave their names and addresses.
My names Rogers the younger
one said. but the other fellow wouldn't
let HIM tell any more. 'Aw. what's the
use of giving them our names Of he said.
They went of together, and said
they would be back in the morning
thoered by this clew. Ms. Rogers
decided 10 wait until the boys came
back She stayed at the studio from II
in the morning until o'clock yest,~-
day afternoon but Sidney did not re
turn.
I'm The meantime Mr.. Rogers. with
two detectives, made a tour or studios
IN Yontcrs IN his automobile and
visited several motion picture theatres
IN the vicinity. Although ne found no
direct trace Of his son. he was CON
WINGED that Sidney was somewhere
nearby. HIS belief was based partly
on the story Of q man who said he had
seen Sidney in front of the Y. VI. c.
4. building IN loukerS during the
morning. The man cad mistaken him
for friend OF his and started TO
speak 10 him. He identified him from
