CONVICTION OF FLAGG
Holds Seizure of Papers Uncon-
stitutional-Accused of Fraud.

The conviction Of Jared Flagg, &C
cused Of using the mails with intent to
defraud, was reversed yesterday by the
United States Circuit Court. The de-
cision, handed down by Judge Coke, in
which Judges Veeder and Ward con-
Cured was based on the contention
that the seizure Of Flagg's books and
papers was in violation Of his consti-
tutional rights.
Flagg was convicted Of operating a
mail order brokerage house, which
promised investors AZ per cent interest
He was sentenced TO eighteen months
in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta
Much of the evidence against him was
contained in the books which the police
/ and postal authorities took without
warrant or legal process from his Of
fee during raid on September %
1911. The reversal of the lower courts
decision handed down yesterday point
ed out that the raid was a violation of
the Fourth and Fifth Constitutional
anne ailments.
These amendments Judge Coke
says, ARE intended TO safeguard the
rights of the people of the United
States against foreign encroachments
of unlawful and arbitrary power, Il
preserve the rights of the humblest a,
well as the most powerful citizen"

lie paused for moment, while a
few psnic-stricken men and women
came rushing up the stairs, crying

The detective bounded down the
steps, and found himself in tho midst
of a swirling mass Of terrified hu-
mainly.
Pushing through tho crowd, he saw
at its centre two men, wrestling. One
held cleaning revolver.
Two Go to Night Court.
In a moment the detective had both
manacled. He marched them off to
Night Court, while the subway Off
Gals tried to end the FIVE minute tie
up the excitement had caused.
To Magistrate Deuel. the two men
gave their names as Adolf Segal, thir-
ty-two, a jeweller, Of 1925 Tiffany

Owens wrested the revolver from
him. Segal had regained it when De-

FIGHT FOR SUYDAM ESTATE
Nephews Ask Surrogate to Bar Cousin
from Administration.

The dispute Of several branches OF
the Suydam family over tho 100000
estate of Lambert Suydam, a real es-
tate broker, who died on January Is
last. was aired in the Surrogates' Court
yesterday.
Richard l.. Suydam and Harry Suy-
dam, nephews Of the broker. who are
contesting his will, asked Surrogate
Fowler to appoint a temporary admin
istrator. They allege that Lambert
Suydam used undue influence on his
uncle to procure the will now being
contested. and ask that neither Lam
bert Suydam nor his co-executor, Jed
Frye, be named as administrator.
Mrs. James Suydam, mother OF Lam
bert Suydam, the legatee, and widow
of brother of the testator, made an
affidavit in which she advanced rea-
son why the decedent made such lib
eral provision for her son. In 1878,
she said, Lambert Suydam, the testator,
came TO her home and told her husband
that he had lost his fortune, whereupon
the brother told him not 10 worry oyer
his losses, that he had S250,000 which
he would turn over 20 him, and that he
could return the principal when he had
gained another fortune. Lambert Suy-
dam started over with the stake from
his brother and succeeded in amassng
another fortune. Under the circum-
stances, said Mrs. Suydam, it was a
natural wish Of her brother-in-law to
want to aid the son of his dead brother,
Lambert Suydam.
Surrogate Fowler reserved decision
on the application for the appointment
of temporary administrator.

LOCKWOOD BILL
Also Asks Whitman to
Veto S14,0O0,000 in APP

Mayor Mitchell sent personal letters
to Governor Whitman yesterday urging
him to sign the Observation-Disclosures
bill, which provides for the centraliza-
ton Of building inspection in the city,
and adding his official request to that
of the civic bodies of this city who
have asked the Governor to veto sl4,-
100000 from tho appropriation bills
now before him.
"Unless you veto at least $4,000
900 from the state appropriations now
awaiting your signature" wrote the
Mayor, at Is evident that within a
year II will be necessary for the state
to impose another direct tax. This
will create an additional burden. which,
added to the other taxes which New
York City must carry. may very easily
produce n general collapse OF real es-
tate values in New York City. The
City of New York itself has done
everything humanity possible to reduce
its own expenditures to the irreducible
minimum
Protests Highways Bill
II was pointed out by the Mayor that
all the items which in his own opinion
should be vetoed had been sugges ted
10 the Governor in the petitions of
civic bodies. He called particular at
tention, however, to the bill appropri-
ating 1885, 900 for the maintenance Of
town highways, and declared il should
be vetoed as most unjust measure TO
this city.
The Mayor said that he was deeply
disappointed TO learn that the Cover
nor was not disposed 20 reduce appro-
prations for this year by making use
of the surplus in the sinking funds.
81 realize that this is not an easy
matter for you to decide" the Mayor
wrote. "as the best legal opinion is it.

posed 70 this procedure TO seek n ju-

every surplus in a sinking fund rep
resents an injustice and a double bur

By attacking this situation vigorously

"This 100000 reduction, added TO

tive appropriations which the execu-
tive budget and its accompanying state
ment concede should be made, and the
SO, 1000 900 reduction which NAV be ac-

TRAINS CRASH IN RUSH HOUR
Many Hurt when Motorman on Brook
lyn 81" Has Painting Spell.

Scores of men and women were
slightly injured yesterday morning
when the sudden dizziness of motor
man on a Brighton Beach 81" train
caused rear-end collision at the
Sands Street station during the rush
hour. A Fulton Street train was stand
ing at the station when the Brighton
Beach train crashed into the rear car,
breaking nearly every window in both
trains and showering glass upon the
passengers.
Harold Speller. the motorman on the
Brighton train, later explained that he
became faint as he approached the sta
tiol and, for a moment, failed TO see
the other train standing there. He
stuck to his post, however, and applied
the emergency brakes, but too late to
prevent the crash.
