When Rags Was Dramatic.

New York, Jan. 25.-James Buchanan
Brady shines for all.
I should say glitters.
He has another name.
His real one.
Its Diamond Jim Brady.
He's more allied to the sparklers
Than to Lincoln's predecessor.
He's crusted with them.
No other man in America
Owns as many gems.
Maybe not in the whole world.
Unless it's some Indian prince
His jewels are worth more than a mill
lion.
He's been twenty-five years collecting
them.

cryptic messages on IL whenever the
stenographer was sufficiently thought
full to leave piece of paper on the
roller.
Like everybody else who knew Of the
occurrences, John McKeon, helper IN
tho garage, was greatly impressed by
the tumble Of letters that appeared
each morning on the paper left in the
machine. Finally he decided 20 solve
the mystery by remaining on duty all
night Sunday. He remained. heard the
tapping Of the keys and rushed into the
room. No ghostly hand was visible, but
several letters were found TO have been
left on the paper.
So McKeon posted himself closer 20
the machine. eXtinguished the light and
resumed the watch, nervously awaiting
the visitation. A few minutes had
elapsed when. without the opening Of
doors or telltale creakng Of furniture,
the keys of the machine began to tap.
He quickly flashed on a light and saw
the mysterious typist leap from the
machine and disappear into hole in
the corner of the room. 1t was rat

BOUND TO CHAIRS
BY 3 ARMED MEN
Arrests Made After Interpreter
and Companion Move from
Flat to New Apartment.

A well planned dinner in dat at
6l5 West 135th Street on Sunday even
ing cost three guests something like
$4,000 in cash and iewelry, when three
hold-up men, who may or may not have
been invited. appeared and bound them
TO their chairs.
Luis +. Corea, former Minister to
Nicaragua. and now practising law at
90 Liberty Street; Ruiino Layan. a
cotton merchant Of Torreon, Mexico,
and Modesto Aware. a Yucatan capt.
taiist, were the guests who we're thus
forced to contribute TO the three
masked men whose presence at the
dinner still IS being investigated by
the police.
It just happened that the thoughtful
hosts were in the kitchen icing the
champagne when the masked men broke
in upon the pleasant evening SO the
three complied with the demands OF the
visitors. Layan. guest at the Hotel
Imperial, lost S4lO and iewelry worth
$4,000. Modesto Alvarez, staying at the
Hotel America, contributed s2lO. and
Corca donated a watch and chain worth
$3.50 and $40 cash.
After they had completed their
search Of the three. the hold-up men
produced coils of rope and securely
tied them TO thci- chairs. Then they
departed. Several minutes later Mariana
Ramos and Russell Mark. the thought
full hosts, rcappeared, -nnounced that
they had had similar unfortunate cX-
perienccs with tho hold-up men, but
had succeeded IN cutting themselves
free from their bonds.
Iavau Immediately complained Of
this new twist in American hospitality
10 the eth Branch Detective Bureau,
with the result that detectives investI-
gated the affair. They reported last
night that Ramos was an interpreter
employed by the Yucatan capitalist
Ramos, they said. had invited his en-
ployer TO visit him al the l3Jth Street
fiat Sunday evening for dinner party.
In an excess Of good will Ramos Is
quoted as telling his guest 20 bring
such friends as he might wish. As n
consequence the other TWO members Of
the party came.
Investigation revealed the fact that
tho fat i'm which the dinner was given
had been given up by Ramos immedi-
atcly after the conclusion of the little
affair. When sought yesterday Ramos
and Mark were found IN another apart
ment al 525 West l3jth Street.
Detectives Boyle, MCGEE and O'Con-
nor. who made the Investigation, an
nounced that they were convinced tho
Interpreter and his aid had arranged
for the three hold-up men along with
other features of the dinner. Although
the two men protested their innocence
they were locked up at the lth Branch

General Wood.

At a meeting yesterday afternoon at
the University Club, the Military Train
ing Club for Boys, acting on the sug-
gestion Of Major General Leonard
Wood, decided to hold its camp at one

forts. General Wood said he would
apply for the permission Of the War
Department at once, and stated that he
felt sure consent could be obtained,
provided the equipment was not taken
of the government reservations
The military camp for boys was an
outgrowth Of the Plattsburg idea, il
was explained. The original intention
was 10 hold the camp at St. PauPs
School, Concord, y. II. The camp is
planned to last for five weeks. at a cost
OF approximately $50 FOR each boy. A
motion urging the reservation OF 500

loses SUIT FOR ANNULMENT
Teacher Alleges Wife's First Husband
l. Not Dead.

Bert De Forest Hakes. a teacher. Of
% Convent Avenue. failed yesterday IN
his suit for annulment from Mrs. Eta
Gregg Whitney Burrowes Hakes, which
he brought on the ground that her first
husband, Edwin Stock Burrowes. was
still alive. Burrowes disappeared six
teen years ago. A BODY was found in
the East River which IL was believed
was that Of Burrowes. But as his wife
did not see 1t his death was not estab-
lished.
Hakes, who was friend Of Burrowes,
married the missing mans wife IN 1908
in White Plains, thinking her husband
dead. Now he is not quite so sure
about IL, and therefore asked TO have
his marriage annulled on the ground
that her first husband was still alive.
Justice Golf denied his application for
a decree. but did not pass on whether
BurroWes is dead or alive.
Mrs. Hakes said the reason for the
suit by Hakes, after being married 10
her for nearly thirteen years. was his
friendship for n woman school teacher.

OSBORNE HEARING GOES OVER
Lawyers Fall to Find Judge TO Hear
Weeks's Answer.

Failure to find a judge who would
hear the answer Of District Attorney
Weeks TO an order 20 show cause why
the immortality charge against Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne should not be
dismissed prevented a disposition Of
this step in the case against tho Sing
Sing official yesterday.
District Attorney Weeks, VI. J. Tier
ney, counsel for Mr.. Osborne, and a
group Of lawyers went to Justice
Keogh's court at White Plains in the
afternoon for a hearing o. the order
against the prosecutor, which was is
sued Saturday by Justice Plat. II was
hoped TO have an immediate decision.
Justice Keogh refused TO hear the
case because Of his sons connection
with the Office Of George Gordon Battle,
chief counsel for the accused warden.
The lawyers then went TO Justice
Young, in Part II, who refused because
OF his former association with Mr..
Weeks when he himself was Prescott
ing Attorney. A visit 20 the chambers
Of Justice Tompkins revealed that he
was III and would not be in court for
several days. The case was continued
until next Thursday.
in an affidavit attached 10 the pend
ing motion Mr.. Osborne says that the
indictment against him was Illegally
found on the uncorroborated and hear
say testimony Of convicts.
In this connection he says: "Men
might be produced whom | have never
seen or heard Of. whose history or
character It would be impossible for
me TO investigate and who might APP
pear for the first time at the trial.
"No corroboration would be required
Of such false stories. No opportunity
would be given to refute such stories,
and l might be confronted with vile
food Of insinuations. II an indictment
Of this character is good in law. it will
hereafter be possible to indict a public
officer for neglect Of duty, a misde-
