The state anti-loafng act is aimed
at different and much larger class OF
men, as it covers all men between the
ages OF Ell ghteen and fifty, inclusive
The state law stipulates that all such
persons must be "habitually and regu-
larly engaged in some lawful, useful
and recognized business, profession
trade or employment"
Men under twenty-one ta and over
tnlrty-two may be engaged in some of
the occupations listed as non-produc-
tive by General Crowder without in
reference under the state law. The
state anti -loafing act is aimed to drive
into regular and useful occupations
men "who habitually loiter in idlenese
In the streets, roads, depots, pool.
rooms, saloons, hotels, stores or other
places"
Drunkards Included
There are included within these
classitications those who prefer to idle
those who are known to the police as
loafers and criminals in the usual
significance of these words.
pollce Commissioner Enright has
called attention to all classes and
Kinds OF idlers and those who are not
engaged in lawful or recognized en-
ployment. This list includes every
known : n;t species of the loafer class.
Lolterers, rich or poor, criminals,
gamblers, drunkards and beggars are
in this list.
While the state law includes men of
draft age, these will not be prose ecuted
under the state anti-loafng act. Thev
WILL be taken care of under General
Crowder's work or fight" order.

with the State Industrial Commis s;nn
IN placing New York State on an in.

IN non,,productive occupations as
defined by Provost Marshal General
Crowder are asked to register at the
earliest moment in the various sta e
ton tions OF the Federal employment SER
vice: and they will receive special at
tention: Of course. men between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-one and
between the ages of thirty-two and
fifty, inclusive. are also invited to reg

But the Federal employment officials
have warned. against a panic. Men of
traft age who have not yet manage

not fear that the police will institute
raids at once and throw them into jail
Employment officials do not want draft

Three of the oldest criminals known
TO the local police, one with an inter
national record, were arrested yester-
gay IN the Liberty National Bank in
me Equitable Building, Thew are
TTnnarged Tn with attempted grand larceny
me ponce say the men were planning
TO rob the bank. 3

Ieliers cage, where thousands of dol,
th ttiha'ay' the police say, had pushed open
tne 5.a cage door and was reaching with
MS cane Tor bundle of bills when he
ana M ms companions were arrested
Two hours after the arrests HARDY and
hartley were identified as the men
who stole gold watch worth s300
rom Jewelry store in West Fifty
seventh Street while posing as pros
pectlve customers.
!, Last night detectives were scouting
tnrough the city. for young woman
who IS said to have co6perated with
the prisoners.
How long the three have been work
ing. in the city is not known by the
police. Four days ago their presence
here was learned when some one
saw them below the "dead line for
crooks" in Fulton Street. Well
dressed. trim and vigorous DESPITE
thelr years, they looked like prosper
Gus retired business men, Coleman es-
geclal!y, with his closely trimmed Van

For two days the men were trailed as

the Empire Trust Company, the Battery
Park Bank, Henry Clews & Co. and the
continental National Bank In each
they lined up with the depositors, but
made no attempt to do anything out of
the way.
Then they went to the Liberty Ma
tlonal Bank. Close behind were the
local detectives as we'll as operatives
from q private detective agency. They
took places in the line of depositors,
with Hardy in the lead.

Hardy neared the teller's window. He
signalled to his partners to come close.

open the cage door with his cane. A
rev inches away were thousands of
dollars. Before they could be reached,
however, the police closed in and ar.
rested the three men.
At Headquarters Coleman denied any
intention of robbing the bank. The
other two, according to the police, ad-
mitted that was their object eve
thought that we would take one more
CHANGE. What else could we do ?''
Hartley and Hardy said, according to
the police.
The men are regarded as remark
able criminals by Inspector Cray, of
the Detective, Bureau. "usually," he
said, "men who have pulled big jobs
IN their youth get timid in their old
age and resort to petty larceny. But
these $, men have upheld the traditions
OF o, their profession and have stayed in
the big game. They look with scorn
on the petty larceny fellows"
Hardy, H. Coleman and Hartley have
each served terms in Sing Sing and
other prisons as far back as 1863
when Coleman was sent to Sing Sing
for fiye years. He had been convicted
OF robbing bank at Poughkeepsie
He escaped on August II, 1911.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund wants
to show them all the great beyond that

This Is Last Loafing Day, for It's
Get a Job or Fight Tomorrow
State and National Roundup of ders Near and Recruiting
Stations Are Packed With Men Over Draft
Age Anxious to Join Coors

Do your loafng o-day, for tomorrow
you must labor.
Put in your final, solid, twenty-four
hours of useless, purposeless, impudent,
irresponsible idleness. When you wake
up this morning, forget it is Sunday
and that it Is privileged day of rest.
Loaf as if it were a workday. Loaf all
day long, for after midnight tonight
loafng becomes a prohibitive luxury for
the duration of the war, and it NAV be
long war.
Tomorrow the "work or fight" order
of Provost Marshal General Crowder
and the state anti-loating act go into
full effect. Tomorrow detectives in
civilian clothes and the policemen in
uniform may stop any leisurely gentle
man who looks older than eighteen and
younger than fifty and ask him in the
voice of authority:
Nv mere do you work?"
Unless the answer is satisfactory, the
voice of authority will demand proof,
and unless there is proof the voice Of
authority will thunder warning to the
general effect that the man warned
must hustle and find useful job as
quickly as possible.
Includes Men 18 to so
OF course the ".work or fight" order
of General Crowder is not the proto-
type nor a duplicate of the state anti
loafing act. The two are distinct. There
has been good deal of confusion as to
the exact purpose of these measures.
The difference may be outlined as fol-
lows:
General Crowder's "work or fight"
order is national. 1t covers all sections
of the country.
The state anti-loafng act is in force
only in the state of New York, although
other states have passed similar meas
ures. All men between the ages Of
eighteen and fifty, whether or not they
are legal residents of New York State,
are affected by this law if they dwell
in this state.
General Crowder's "work or fight"
order applies only to men of military
age-men between the ages of twenty
one and thirty-one, inclusive. All such
men, married or unmarried, must do
useful work or fight, if they are
physically fit.
Have Week of Grace
Such men cannot remain idle longer
than one week after July /, unless they
are sick or on vacation of reason
able length. Classified with those who
are deemed idle are men of draft age
who are racetrack and bucket shop
employees, fortune tellers. clairvoyants,
pations are looked upon as idlers, and
they might as we'll do nothing at all
as try excusing themselves before
the police and the Federal and state
authorities as being employed in such
work"
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has also designated as productive
occupations the following:
THE serving of food and drink, or
either, in public places, including
hotels and social clubs.
2-The running of passenger ele-
vators or attending passenger ele-
vators, the positions of doormen, foot
men. carriage openers and other at
tendants in or in front of clubs, hotels,
stores, apartment houses, Office build
ings and bath houses.
Affects Store Clerks
3-The positions of ushers and other
attendants engaged in connection with

Feldspar Quarry in
Phippsburg May Be Mined

Albert Il. Starer who owns a large
tract Of farming pasture land at
Phippsburg Basin has discovered a
large deposit of feldspar upon his
property which is likely to be mined
in the very near future. says the Bath
Times.
The spar has been examined by a
number of experts. among them Mr..
Golding of the firm of Golding &
Sons who have shipped large quanti-
ties of spar which they have mined at
the quarries in Georgetown.
Mr.. Starers rock is but 1900 feet
from his store and there is plenty of
deep water for water shipments and
the vein is said to be a long and wide
one. One man offered to take 5000
tons of rock annually for period
Of five years
A number of other experts besides
Mr.. Golding have looked at the ledge
and examined the rock which has
been blasted from it and declare that
il is fine quality of spar. Mr.. Starer
says that it is probable that within a
shore time active steps will be taken
to produce the spar there in sufficient
quantities for shipment
Much of the spar which is shipped
from this section goes to New Jer-
sey and to East Liverpool, Ohio,
where it is used in the making of
crockery.

Henry Taylor Has an
Interesting Experience

Henry Taylor for a brief time owner
of the Portland New England league
franchise, IS years ago, and who
conducted boxing bouts in Portland
at that time, but who is now we'll
known business man of Wayne, was
the victim Of that great little trouble
maker, circumstantial evidence, when
he was arrested Thursday at his
home by Deputy United States Mar
shall Frank l.. Knapp on a charge of
counterfeiting United States Curren-
cy.
Taylor appeared before L. S. Com
missioner Chapman and was at once
discharged when District Attorney
John f. A. Merrill informed the court
that the detention of Taylor had been
due wholly to case of mistaken
identity The district attorney also
took occasion to say that stories that
Taylor was a German spy suspect
and which had been circulated about
the town on account of the mans ar
rest were wholly without foundation.
and that the government entertained
no suspicion Of his loyalty. Judge
Joseph L. +. Connolly appeared for
TAYLOR.
The arrest was made on the
strength Of an indictment found in
the United States District Court Of
Ohio against one Harry Taylor now
said to he in Maine The Wayne and
former Portland man once lived for
short time in Ohio. and he is some
times called Harry instead Of Henry.
The coiucidences started the trouble.
Mr. Taylor has been settled in
Wayne for sometime. fIe has four
children in kent's Hill academy at
Rcadfeld and in addition to his mer-
camille business takes great inter-
est in farming. Portland Express.
