2 Jailed for Posing
AS u. S. Officers
One Taken From Hotel Astor
in Uniform as Auto
Thief

Two young men. who have been pos
ing as army officers with some proGt
but without warrant, came 20 grief yes
terday. Albert Lee Wanamaker. who
has been adjoining the Hotel Astor IN
a captains uniform. was locked up In
headquarters. charged with imperson-
ating an officer. with having a loaded
pistol and with stealing an automobile.
The automobile was the property o.
Major II. Brand. u. 5. A.. ard was the
cause of Wan7maker's downfall.
A concern which bought IL for $500
reported the purchase 20 the police, IN
accordance with department regulA-
tons. and the police identified il as a
car that had been stolen from Major
Brand. in Washington. Wanamaker
was indignant az his arrest. and might
have persuaded the police that j, was
all a mistake, had not Captain James
Bresnan, formerly a policeman but late
~ commissioned at Plattsburg, oeen at
Headquarters and punctured his preten-
sions with pointed questions.
License plates from two other auto
mobiles which, according 10 the police.
Wanamaker admitted stealing, were
found in his rom at the Aston.
The other bogus officer was Charles
Stewart Mondon, Of Newburg, Y. y,
eighteen years old, who was sentenced
in the United States District Court TO
serve a year aud a day in The peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta for representing
himself as an officer Of the Medical
Corps. lie is said 70 have csshed SO
check on the strength OF his uniform.

De Witt Clinton Instructors
Declare They Are
Patriotic
Pupils Deny They
Were Influenced
Retaliation by Tildsley Is
Charged Before Edu-
Gators Committee

Alleged disloyalty in the public
schools was put to the test before the
committee on high schools Of the Board
of Education yesterday, when Samuel
D. Schma.hausen, Thomas Mufson and
A. Henry Schucer, teachers who were
suspended from the De Witt Clinton
High School a month ago, were placed
en- trial on charges of "holding views
subversive Of discipline and tending to
undermine good citizenship"
Each accused teacher, after witnesses
had testified that he had failed to re-
prces disloyal sentiments expressed by
pupils, took the witness stand and de-
clared his unqualified loyalty 20 the
government.
The climax 20 the agitation against
alleged lack Of patriotism in the
schools was brought about with judi
cial solemRity in the rooms OF the
Board of Education building, FIFTY
ninth Street and Park Avenue. Seated
as Judges we're John WhGlen, chair
man of the committee; Olivia Leyen-
tritt and DR.. Franklin Ii. Giddlngs.
W. f C. Mayer and Charles Mcln-
tyre, assistants to the Corporation
Counsel, atced as prosecutors and
Herbert c. Smyth represented the de-
fence. DR.. John l.. Tildsley, assistant
superintendent, who Isa1iucted the IN
vestigation which lefrb the suspension
of the teachers, was the chief witness
against them.
DR.. Tildsley. Francis J. Paul, prin-
pal OF De Witt Clinton High School;
Oscar W. Anthony, assistant principal,
and Ellen +. Gsrrigues, teacher, tes-
titled that Mr.. Schmalhausen had
eyinced unpatriotic motives in assign
ing subjects for compositions.
The three accused teachers, after de-
nying that they either were unpatriotlc
or had inspired disloyal sentiments
among their pupils, made the defence
that they were the victims of retalia-
tory measures. They declared that the
investigation Of their patriotism was
begun by DR.. Tildsley because they
were among 1903 members of the Teach
ers' Council who had signed resolu-
ton of protest against Mr.. Whalen
flor his undemocratic, arrogant and
anti social utterances" in saying that
he "would close up the schools If the
teachers didn't go back and behave
themselves instead OF protesting
against heightened school hours
4 Spectator Fiees
A dramatic incident was injected into
the trial By the removal of one Of the
spectators. While Mr.. Anthony was
denying on cross-eXamination that he

Unconscious Four
Days in Home, Alone
James Reilly, Vertigo Victim,
Tried to Call Help BY
Upsetting Phone

PATERSON, y. j., Dec. 3.-For four
days James Reilly, managing editor Of
"The Wall Street Journal" of New
York, lay unconscious in his homo in
Ridgewood 50 close to the telephone,
from which he had dragged the re-
ceiver when he felt an attack Of
vertigo approaching, that his voice
was heard by the telephone operator.
He was not discovered until this
morning, when a neighbor with whom
he was 20 board while his wife w.
visiting relatives became alarmed at
his continued absence.
lie was taken TO the Paterson Hos.
pital, and il is thought that he will re-
cover. The most serious aspect of his
condition, physicians say, is the intense
weakness caused by the four days OF
neglect.
Mr.. Reilly was in his garage clean
ing his automobile on Thursday morn
ing when he realized that faintness
wasovercoming him. He managed tC
get into the house and to the tele-
phone before losing consciousness. His
last conscious movement pulled the re-
ceiver from the hook.
On Saturday the operator reported
that Mr.. Reilly's telephone receiver had
been of the hook for three days. An
inspector was sent TO the house ano
contented himself with slipping note
under the door reading: please hang
up YOUR receiver
When he was discovered, il wa.
thought at first that burglars had at
tackled him, AS he had bruised himself
in his fall and dragged the telephon,
down upon his head. Mrs. Reilly ha:
been away for two weeks.
