1O-Year-Old Burglars
Lose in First Attempt
Juvenile Desperados' Plans to
Terrorize Brooklyn Go
AWrx

When Mrs. c. B. Adkins got home
from the movies last night she stepped
on a burglar as she entered the front
door of her house at 34 Hendrix
Street, Brooklyn. The desperate,
Jimmy Hough, ten years old, of 1893
Central Avenue, squeaked an alarm
and two others came tearing down the
stairs, bent on escape.
They thrust Mrs. Adkins aside and
got away, but she sat firmly on Jimmy
until the police arrived. Several hun
dred dollars worth of silverware had
been packed in suitcase and the in
truders had helped themselves gener-
ously to ham and eggs.
Jimmy was taken to the Liberty
Avenue police station on his way to
the Children's Society rooms and there,
according to the police, confessed the
entire felonious plan. According to
the story he is said to have related
the three boys planned to loot several
houses, ascertaining first whether the
owners were home by going to the
back door ostensibly to beg for drink
of water
They intended to pursue this course
of action as long as their thirst per
mitted, or until they found a deserted
house, but as it happened the Adkins
home was the first they visited. On
the strength of Jimmy's revelations
detectives were sent to the homes of
two other boys in the neighborhood.

Lawyer Assails Anderson

William II. Hirst, attorney for the
New York State Brewers Association.
said last night that the "fulmnations''
of William IL. Anderson, State Super
intendcnt Of the Anti-Saloon League,
were absurd and solely self -adver-
tising.' Mr.. Andersons assertion that
Attorney General Lewis was the brew
ers' candidate for Governor, Mr.. Hirst
characterized as false, cowardly and
contemptibly puny."
Il do not know by what method of
appointment Mr.. Anderson made
himself Governor Whitman's campaign
manager" said Mr.. Hirst, "butshe Ger
tainly did the Governor a great dis
favor when he assumed to make prohi-
biton the only issue Of the coming
gubernatorial campaign. How about
patriotism, the war, state and Federal
lnance and taxes, industrial, labor and
transportation problems?
81 have heard of an embarrassment
of riches, but it appears that the Anti
Saloon League is suffering with an en-
barrassment of virtues. 1t seems to
have gone to the head of its superin-
tendent. The 'rough-neck' tactics, the
foul epithets which Anderson resorts
to in his campaign for prohibition
must be disgusting to the refined and
sensitive man and woman"

Frank Farrell a Suicide

Frank Farrell, who had immured
himself from the world sinct third de-
gree police methods brought him to
trial for the murder of twelvey year-old
Mary Cunningham in 1896, ended his
life yesterday with gas at his home,
317 East Thirty-seventh Street. He
was acquitted of the murder charge
after his aunt had testified that
statement which the police sought to
introduce in evidence had been OBJ
tanned from the prisoner when he was
frantic with terror.
The woman had been hidden in an
adjoining room when the police ques-
toned Farrell in darkened room in
which they had built miniature altar
draped with the clothing of the mur-
dered child. hung with Grape and dimly
lighted by candles. Before the inouisi-
which was conducted to the accompani-
ment of moaning detective concealed

jected to brutal treatment, she said
After his acquital, which took place
after he had been held for two wears.

Allies of Hearst
Building Trades Members Re-

Who "Whitcwashed" Him

Peace overtures were made to dele
gates of the Allied Building Trades at
last nights meeting of the Central Fed
Grated Union of New York in an effort
to induce members to march in the
Labor Day parade with fellow workers
who recently whitewashed the activi-
ties of William Randolph Hearst.
The 275,000 members Of the building
trades threatened withdrawal from the
patriotic celebration on Labor Day, as
serting that the unions action favor
ing Hearst automatically barred loyal
Americans.
In brisk interchange of opinion
among the delegates at last nights
meeting James Bagley. of the Printing
Pressmens Union, said he could see no
reason why the district council and the
union should quarrel over man like
Hearst. "Hearst broke up the Interna-
tional Pressmen's Union in Chicago, "
declared Bagley, land | don't see why
we should wash his dirty clothes.'
The matter was referred to the ex-
ecutive board.

He arst Is Silent
On Campaign Plan;
Confers With Hylan
May Tell New York About
His Aspirations After He
Has Reached Chicago

William Randolph Hearst lunched
yesterday with Mayor Hylan, who was
with him when he rescued the toad
from the jellyhsh at Palm Beach, and
who has ever since been booming him
for Governor. The rescuer of the toad
called at the City Hall and went into
his honor's private chambers. Mr..
Hearst was asked if he would support
"Al" Smith, who stole even Hylans
Brooklyn delegates from him. He said:
81 am constitutionally opposed to
making any statements. | don't think
have anything to say"
Support Smith? Maybe
"Will you run in the primaries ?"
"My only concern at present is
luncheon.''
Are you gong to support Smith? ~
81 really would prefer to be excused
from discussing the political situation
just now. l won't discuss any phases
of the campaign until | have issued a
formal statement outlining my views"
Are you going to support Governor
Whitman" Mr.. Hearst was asked.
"As | said before, don't care to
discuss politics just now" he answered.
Friends of "Al" Smith believe that
Hearst will not dare to oppose him in
the primaries, saying that if he does
his opposition will only enhance
Smiths chances.
The Democratic designee went last
night to Good Ground, where his aged
mother has been recuperating from a
slight illness.
Smith Visits Mother
II telegraphed mother from Saratoga
that had been designated" said "Al j"
II also told her I would see her the first

At yesterdays meeting of the Board

he was forced to do it because "the

ference with the Mayor" This was

Anzacs Off Shipboard Seek
Coney Island and Enjoyment
Colonias Have Invitations All Theatres and Entertain
ments They Can Find Time to See While
in New York

He was about the largest Anzac to
create a sensation on Fifth Avenue,
six feet tall and broad -shouldered,
swinging along with stride that ate
up the blocks with a zest known only
by plainsman just released from six
weeks on shipboard.
Three tiny Boy Scouts looked at one
another doubtfully, then locked elbows
and stood solidly in his path, bracing
to meet the shock in case he did not
chose to stop.
Mister, want to 90 to the theatre ?"
they chirped.
The giant did stop. When he saw
the mites proffering theatre tickets he
grinned. He was good-natured giant
"Nothing doing, bulbs" he said. "I'm
bound for Coney Island. It's good to
stretch your legs q bit when you've
been cooped up on ship for weeks"
"Say, mister, you can't walk to Coney
Island" the boys said
"How far is it,"
New-York tribune., 1918-07-27

Nobody ever walks" the spirit of
New York retorted, outraged.
The huge visitor chuckled when the
policeman on the corner of Fifth Ave-
nue. and Thirtyfourth Street, called in
for consultation. declared it was a mat
ter of ten miles. Ten miles was moth
ing to a plainsman, he sad but he
compromised with the subway when
the officer threatened him with being
lost in the wilds of Brooklyn.
One hundred Anzacs went to Coney
in bus chartered by the Young Mems
Christian Association and others made
the journey unescorted.
Mrs. Glenn Gould, of 100 West
Eighty seventh Street, said last night
that the Anzacs were being entertained
by British in the city and that they
did not lack for friends to direct their
sightseeing to the right places. Large
quantities of cigarettes and chocolate
are being sent to their headquarters,
and tickets and invitations more than
the men can accept.

Viereck Letters to
Father i'm Berlin
In u. S. Possession
Missives Said to Show an
Attempt to Send Word
of Conditions Here

Additional light was thrown on the
activities of George Sylvester Viereck,
editor of "Viereck's American Weekly"
yesterday when Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Becker announced that he had
information that as late as last Decem-
ber the German propagandist had been
in communication with his father,
Louis Viereck, in Berlin.
Viereck, according to Mr. Becker,
has been sending his father detailed
information as to the conditions in
the United States by means of code
letters sent through neutral countries.
Simple Code Used
The code used was very simple and
the authorities have discovered the
key and are now making an examina-
tion of the correspondence. Each let
ter was written on carbon fimsy sheets
such as are used by German espionage
agents. Four copies of each of the
messages were sent to four different
cities in Europe to be forwarded to
Berlin.
Most of the letters were four or five
pages long and were decoded as fol-
lows: The first word on each of the
four sheets was taken, and then the
second, and so on until the message
was complete
One letter Intercepted in 1916 con-
veyed the following information to
Berlin in the first line: "The situation
here is extraordinary" What message
the rest of the letter contained has not
been learned.
The Attorney General announced
that even if the letters were not in
code and did not contain information
of value to the enemy Vereck. by send
ing the letters. violated the trading
with the enemy act by corresponding
