Broadway Blazes On;
Order to Dim Lights
Fails to Reach City

Broadway may not believe the fuel
administrator, but it does believe in
signs.
In spite of DR.. Garfield's edict that
the great electric advertisements along
the skyline of the White Way" were
not to be turned on until 7:45 each
night, they began to light up early last
evening, taking up the job where the
sun left off.
There was no hint of wartime
scarcity OF coal in the glowing thou
sands Of lncandescents, which outshone
the stars from the roofs of hotels, thea
tres and Office buildings. They dis
regarded economy entirely and pro-
claimed the excellence of beer and
chewing gum, corsets, embroidery silk
and mineral water, as though there
were no conflict in the world.
Albert Wiggin, New York's fuel ad-
ministrator, said last night that he
had not yet received a copy of the
order limiting the hours for illumina-
ton of the signs.
Officials of the Edison company also
said that they had not been advised of
any regulation applying to the period
that electric signs should remain illu-
minated. Meanwhile the masterpieces
of bulb artists shone with undimmed
brilliance all evening long.

Drug Thief Killed
Doctor, Police Say
Robbery Given as Motive
for Murder of Physician
in Cleveland
SPA Cor~spondeneel

CLEVELAND, Nov. l0.-Tnat a dan.
gerous gang OF drug operatives, with
headquarters in Chicago. unable to OBJ
tain an adequate supply OF narcotics
under the Harrison act, resorted to
murder was the theory advanced to-day
by Cleveland police, who again declared
that robbery was the motive for the
staying Of DR.. Harry Lorenzo Chaplin,
author and traveller, found dead in the
Colonial Hotel Thursday afternoon.
We are nearer a solution Of the
murder now than at any other time
Detective Chief Rabshaw is in posses
sion Of clew that we believe will
bring developments Immediately, and
an arrest may be expected at any hour,
probably in Chicago" Acting Chief OF
Police Frank W. Smith announced late
tonight. The statement was given out
after a conference between Detective
Chief Rabshsw with Mrs. Chaplin at the
latter's home.
Nine witnesses were subpnnaed to-
day by Coroner Byrne for the inquest.
Among them is John F. Haggerty, for
merly proprietor Of a drug store at 1345
Prospect Avenue, S. +. Police and
those who have been associated with
the murdered doctor declare he may
be able TO throw some light on the
operations of the alleged drug ring.
DR.. Chaplin was known to have COM
municated with Haggerty at regular in
tervals in the last few years, according
to Elmer ID. Refs, the physicians pri-
vate secretary.
The fact that decoy express pack
age was used to lure DR.. Chaplin to the
Colonial Hotel on the day he met his
death was given by police as proof that
the motive could be nothing else than
robbery. This theory was further
helped by the finding of a blood covered
window weight in an alley. Hotel at
taches said to-day they were positive
the weapon was brought into the hotel
in a suitcase and that it had not been
picked IN in the hotel.
Chicago detectives who have followed
the activities of drug thieves in that
city protested to-day, according TO a
dispatch, to sec an intimate connection
between these thefts and the murder OF
DR.. Chaplin. One of the thefts was at
Hammond. Ind. The Chicago police say
that Dr. Chaplin probably knew of the
increased supply when he left for the
Colonial Hotel.

head found in the ooze of the Passsic
River yesterday. as that Of his brother
in-law. Stefsno Casa, also a dye works

murdered mans wife, burst into tears
when, at Police Headquarters, she was
shown a photograph OF the grewsome

And between hysterieal outbursts she

had met StefGno.

planned happily enough until. the ar
rival from italy Of Angelicas sister
Teresa, then only fifteen years old
Stefsno's affections, Mrs. Casa feared
were transferred to the younger, more
attractive girl. But Teresa had dreams
Of her own and spurned the dye worker,
reminding him of his duty TO her sis
ter. And, tearfully admitted the strick-
en- wife, Stefsno did the honorable
thing"
Two years ago ago Manuel Capalone
succeeded in overcoming Teresa's
dreams and aversion to dye workers.
They were married, and went to live
with Stefano and his wife. Thereafter
came heartaches to Stefano and sad
ness to his neglected wife. There were

Cspelones. Last Wednesday week Ste

house in which the Cassas and Capa-
ZONES live in II East Twelfth Street. In
bathroom in the Capaione fat on the

To Get Coal for N. Y.
Many Small Dealers Forced to
Close Shops for Lack of
Supplies

Despite promises of speedy relief
from the coal famine by the fuel adj
ministration. more small coal dealers
in greater New York closed their shops
yesterday. About $50 basement coal
dealers on the West Side are said to

West Side Coal Dealers Association,
appealed to the fuel administration in
Washington in behalf Of his clients.
The greatest shortage complaints Of
the day came from Sheepshead Bay and
Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. Hundreds
of families in those neighborhoods are
said TO be suffering actual want. One
pedler has been trying to supply the
district by distributing coal in one-ton
and half-ton lots. He is swamped with
orders which he is unable to fill.
Reeve Schley, fuel administrator, ex-
pressed the hope that the situation
would soon be relieved in New York
City, in view of the fact that rolling
stock has been released from the
Middle Western States TO supply New
York City. He declared il persons kept
their heads and economical there would
be enough coal within few days to
supply all wants.

Claims That Is Amount of
the Late Presidents
Shortage
Assets Only $92,141
All Efforts Fail to Trace Large
Sums Misappropriated
by Financier

Anything that might have remained
of the fast dwindling estate of the late
Joseph B. Martindale, former president
of the Chemical National Bank, threat
ems to be completely wiped out b. the
fling by the bank ot claim for
S22s,OO0 az the amount of the dead
bankers peeulstions from that institu-
tion.
The filing OF this claim is the first
announcement by the bank Of the exact
amount of cash alleged to have been
appropriated by Martindale in Il dra-
matte statement issued by the Control
Ter of the Currency at Washington a
short time after the bankers death, last
September. The total then was estl-
mated at 100000 or more.
That the bank had filed claim be-
came known for the first time yester-
day when Mrs. Grace Martindale,
widow Of the former bank president,
fled afiidavits with Transfer Tax APP
praiser James y. Gehrig at Mineola, in
q
estates assets and liabilities. The
bilties up to S330,S76, or nearly four
times the value Of the estate, which is
listed at s92,141.
At the time the Controller of the
Currency made the announcement that
disclosed Martindale's financial condi-
tion and Misrepresentation from the
bank to meet other financial shortages
il was said that the bank would make
no effort to force settlement from
the estate because Of the apparent In
ability of Mrs. Martindale TO make
restitution.
II was announced, however, that in
the event it was learned that Martin
dale had lost the large amounts OF
money missing through stock specula-
tons suits would be filed against the
brokers who acted for him in an effort
to compel them to make good the
banks losses.
But the most painstaking investiga-
tions, made since that date, have failed
to reveal the disposition OF the $685.
900 Martindale is said TO have taken
during the seventeen years he was
connected with the bank. Martndale
was paid a salary of $4,000 year as
president of the Chemical National. re-
ceived large sums as receiver Tor the
II. Il. Clahin Company and Mills e.

come.
Although he lived extensively it has
been found that during the last years
OF his life he went heavily in debt for
many of his ordinary personal ex-
penses. There is claim BY the Plaza
Hotel for $7,O21, another from the. Ritz,
Carlton restaurant for $500, and stu
others from other hotels: Dues for
membership in five clubs also were un-
paid at the time Of his death.

The latter says that the plans so far
worked out call for the erection of
suitable aerodromes and landing places

1.-THE Mayors of the cities over which
