Newsdealers' Boycott
Broken ON Park Row
Papers Sold Freely for First
Time in Week; Hylan
Aids Strikers

Under an ample police guard the
newsdealers' boycott was broken yes
terday so far as Park Row was con-
cerned, and for the first time in week
papers were sold freely in that crowded
thoroughfare. In other parts Of the
city, however, the "newsboys" main
tanned their strangle hold, and at South
Ferry made victorious bonfire of 1000
copies of "The Evening Journal"
They took much comfort likewise in a
document which they exhibited last
night after an executive meeting IN
Sheldon Hall, Washington Street.
Brooklyn. This. they said was copy
of letter which a committee OF then
number had obtained from Mayor Hylan
in the afternoon.
Besides divulging the fact that Nor
ris Hillout is now counsel for the or
ranization, the "letter" instructed park
commissioners to take no action toward
removing newsstands from public prop
erty until the Corporation Counsel had
advised the Commissioner of Licenses
concerning his right to cancel the
licenses Of newsdealers who were not
serving the public. 1t was further
urged that in the event action we're
taken Reasonable time" be allowed TO
Mir. Hillauit after the decision had been
made.
The "strikers," as soon as they saw
that the number of police on guard on
+, Park Row prohibited any attempt at
breaking up paper sales by violence, re-
sorted to dodgers, which were thickly
sown, in which the public was urged not
| to buy papers.
The "Hustlers' Union" composed of
the men who deliver the newspapers for
the mails, warned its members yester-
day against selling any Of the papers
which they carried. The newsboys will
give a dance in Tammany Hall on
Thursday evening in aid of their war
chest.

various phases Of their work.
Prominent among these lectures is
the one dealing with the search of mail

o'clock. Al least 1900 clergymen, rep
resentating every religious denomina-
ton in the city, will be present.

An enlarged copy Of the drawing
which was reproduced in The Tribune
Of January e is being used to show
what steps the Germans are likely TO
take to get information to Wilhelm
strasse. BY the aid of powerful mag

Sturzel picture and is cautioned to
seize any drawing OR manuscript that
might arouse his suspicion.
The story of Sturzels activity as a
spy, as it appeared in The Tribune, is
read to the men at each course.
1t was explained to the men that the

circulation in Spain. In this way Stur-
Eel was probably able to get his infor-
