Net
Set for Enemies
Hiding Property
Holders Who F all to Report
Face $4,000 Fine and
Ten Years in Prison

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA nation
wide dragnet is being spread by A.
Mitchell Palmer, alien property Gus
todlan, to locate enemy aliens who,
through ignorance OF the law or ma
licious intent, fail to make report of
their property holdings to his office.
In statement to-day, calling on
loyal Americans to assist the govern
ment in apprehendins violators of the
law, Mr.. Palmer gave warning that
Federal agents were searching the
country from coast to coast for out
standing alien property, and that hold
ers of uncovered property we're liable
to fine of $4,000 or ten years i'm
prlsonment, or both.
Full notice has been given and the
time for filing reports has been liberal
~ extended, Mr.. Palmer said. The
law Will now be impartially enforced
against all enemy individuals and cor
poratlons withholding reports of prop
erty in their possession.
Tried to Hide Property
Many cases have come to the attcn
tion Of the custodian where enemy
owners have attempted to transfer
property with the intention of having
1T returned to them after peace has
been declared.
FROM the small number of reports
coming IN from certain communities,
Mr.. Palmer said, it is apparent also
that some persons and firms are at
tempting to conceal their property.
either wholly or in part, and to stop
these practices Mr.. Palmer will use to
the fullest extent the powers granted
IN the trading with the enemy act.
Offenders who plead ignorance of the
law Will be dealt with as sternly as
those who Intentionally violate it. Mr..
Palmer cited a case of a trust companv
president holding in his vaults 500, 1000
worth or German securities, who con-
tended he did not know there was a
law recurring report of enemy prop
erty holdings, and another where
citizen failed to report information
that German-owned bonds were being
regularly clipped and sent to GERMANY
by way of Sweden. The citizens de-
fence was that he was bound in conf
dence not to divulge the information
These excuses will not be accepted. Mr.
Palmer said
Urges Citizens to Help
In calling upon Americans to reveal
all instances of reports being with
held, Mr.. Palmer said:
Livery loyal citizen must come for
ward and give any Information which
will stop the flow of money into cnemv
territory. 1t is imperative. as mat
ter of national defence, that all alien
property be Immediately placed in the
hands of the alien property custodian.
1T Will not be necessary in the admin
lstration of the alien property Gus
todlan's office to reveal the sources of
information"
TO assist the government in this re-
gard, Mr.. Palmer said, is mot only a
duty, but an imperative patriotic ne
cessity."

artistic" cellars and attics with all
corners.
Dickerman, who is most pleasantly
spoken young man and makes a great
point of the fact that he lives with
his mother, wife, daughter and grand
mother in Morristown, N. j., indiy-
nantly denied anv such proceedings.

nuc, and her husband, and DR.. Harry
Abrahamson, a dentist, all more or less
regular habitucs Of Dickermans place.
were among those who swore in court
to its essential innocence.
None the less, about the Village,
rumors are thick and persistent.
Place Called a Menace
81 am heartily glad" said one cid
resident of the type to which the jolly
artists object, "if start is being made
by the police to clean up these places.
They are a menace.
"They are a rallying point for
notorious anarchists of the Berkman-
Emma Goldman type, for /. w. W.'s and
every sort of disturbing element in our
national life. Here these people get
hold of young, impressionabe youths
and girls and poison their minds. The
place is filled with slackers Sedtion
is openly proclaimed. Every form of
unwholesomeness is encouraged Ii
these so-called tea and coffee places
could be broken up, the backbone of
this sort of thing would be broken"
In the building wnere Dickerman has
his Pirates Den, on the ground floor
and In the cellar, are four other re-
sorts of more or less similar nature.
At the top, up many pairs of rickety
unwashed stairs, the Vermillion Hound
filings forth flaming placards to the
world. On the floor below, Romany
Marie holds forth, with the Saraband
below her and Alladn's Cave across
the way. AL! of these save Marie's
place are operated by Forest Mann,
who rents the entire building, and who.
technically, as landlord, has brought
the proceedings seeking to disposess
DlCkerman.
Criminal Trial Later
Dickerman's trial on the criminal
charges will be instituted after Justice
Lynn has rendered decision in the civil
suit.
That the young man will emerge
from the proceedings with clean bill
of health, all his friends are confident.
Most of the Villagers, too, scoff at
the suggestion of more serious actions
to come.
I've are artists" said one brief
haired young woman last night, "and
is not art free? Very we'll, then-why
a
likes to have US here. Don't they prove
1T by paying to see US? That's ali that
We expect Of the public. All this talk
about serious things strikes me as
rather out of place-rather, don't you
know, banal."

Inspector Cray is dis:mc!ned to con-
slider robbery as d motive. While he
is investigating carefully along ell
angles suggested by the theory that
Mrs. Hamel was murdered by another
woman-and this he believes is further
substantiatcd by verifcation of the
fact that two wounds on the womans
left forearm were made bv teeth-he
is looking as fully into past activ-
ties Of Mrs. Ilamcl, her husband and
their roOmers.
Fred Hamcl, the husband Mrs.
Hamcl was forty-cight and he is sew
eral years older-was discharged from
the service of the United Fruit Com
pany when it cleaned its ships of enc
my aliens. Recently he has been EN-
ployed as butcher at Sailors Snug
Harbor, on Staten Island. where news
of his wifc's death found him. Ham
els present job keeps him much away
from home. and his assertion that he
had not seen her since Tuesday morn

New-York tribune., 1918-02-15

Greenwich Village arose carly yes
frocks and flowing ties and gayly went
forth a-slummng down to the First
Municipal District Court, 146 Grand
Street, where the trial of Don Dickcr-
came up before Justice Wauhopc Lynn.
Beneath the languid laughter and the
hasc jcsts of the merry villagers,
though, new concern and new ap-
prehension manifested itself. Green
wlch Village has been gibcd at and
stupid bourgeoisic" in town, and Green
wich Village has rcvellcd in the de-
rision and bobbed its hair little
shorter and perfumed its cigarettes a
little sweeter and coined all the gbes
into fair, long, most artisticany green
currency. This time, though, things
looked serious.
There is also criminal charge
against Dlckerman, who is out on $500
bail, namely. that Of conducting a dis
reputable resort at the luridly painted
little tea, coffee and cider carnvansary
he conducts under the name of the Pi-
rates Den i'll a collar on Sheridan
Square.
Court Reserves Decision
After listening to testimony from
Detectives Schaetfer and Braun as to
the alleged goings-on at this resort
which court official described as
"about the rawest sort of thing he'd
heard charged in Il long, long time
and to the wholesale denials issued for
Dickerman, together with glowing char
acter testimonials by about a score Of
witnesses, most of whom came from
uptown, Justice Lynn reserved decision
Last night Dickerman's place was
open for business as usual-with an
officer from the 14th Precinct station
its due need of attention. Business
was brisk. The band, which is one of
the special attractions at the Pirates
Den, banged out its rag tunes as if
courts of law and their edcts we're as
far removed as the front line trenches.
Coffee and cider flowed unallayed. But
constraint was heavily upon the air.
For throughout Greenwich Village
the impression prevails that this case
prcsages a showdown for what has
hitherto passed for sideshow.
ut is. as far as can make out"
said Dickerman last night, "an attempt
by the oldtimc conservative element in
this neighborhood to blot out something
they don't understand. Of course, the
actual complaint came from Captain
Clark, of the 14th Precinct, but I feel
that it is the old residents who are be-
hind the movement. AS for the charges
they have brought. they are ridiculous"
Old Dance Hall Days Recalled
These charges, as recited by the two
detectives on the stand, recalled the
worst tales of the old dance hall ex-
pose days. According to them, the
girls of the Haymarket's zenith had
absolutely nothing on Shcse shor:-

His Arrest is Ordered

Charles Lajotte, twenty four years
old, soldier at Camp Upton, was held
in $500 bail by Magistrate Ten Eyck
yesterday on a charge of assault made
by his father, Albert Lajotte. The as
sault was committed in the Supreme
Court in the presence of Justice Gle
gerich, who ordered the young mans
arrest.
Mrs. Martha Lajotte, of 32O3 Balm

the soldier, is suing her husband, g.

was on trial yesterday. When the noon
recess was declared Private Lajotte
stepped up to his father and struck him
in the face. When order had been re-
stored Justice Giegerich. who has two
sons who are officers in the army, said
to Lajotte:
cit is contemplate for any one to
strike a parent, but it is more con-
temptible for one who has the honor
of being a soldier. You have dshonored
your uniform. A warrant should be
issued for your arrest, as any punish
ment l could infict upon you would
not be adequate"

Two Witnesses i'm
Gambling Inquiry
Arrested i'm Court

Judge Wadhams, presiding. over the
John Doe inquiry into gambling, be-
came indignant yesterday when wit
ncsscs for the people against Charles
Il. Schlcnger, Louis and Carl Heyman
and Jesse Mann, charged with running
a poker club at 10S East Seventeenth
Street, refused to admit that they had
to members. When John Thurston and
William Holsey, negro walters en-
ployed i'll the place, repeatedly denied
that they had ever seen the defendants
giving out chips the court ordered
Thurston and Holsey TO be locked up
in default Of $4,000 bail each for evil
full and deliberate perjury"
The president OF the club, Emanuel
Jackson, Of 1928 Forty seventh Street,
Borough Park, Brooklyn. another wit
ness called by Assistant District At
torney Smith, also repeatedly testified
that he never remembered seeing any
of the defendants behind the desk"
during the last eight months. After
Judge Wadhams had taken hand cx-
aiming Jackson the latter finally ad-
mitted that he had seen them there.
Judge Wadhams announced that he
would have locked jackson up for per-
jury along with the walters if jackson
had not changed his testimony.
The proceeding before Judge Wad-
hams was the examination to deter
mine whether prima facie case had
been made out against the defendants.
The prosecution produced checks
signed by Charles T.. Schlenger and
drawn on his account in the Irving
Trust Company, Broadway and Eighth
Street. One Of these, for s762 .92, dated
February !, 1918, was made payable
to Sigmund Rosenfeld. Mr.. Smith an
nounced that he would show that Sig
mund Rosenfeld was the real owner of
the club and that Schlenger was the
tinancier who paid Rosenfcld's share
in the profits by this arranoement.
Two paying tellers from tn. Irving

as that of Schlcnger, but they were un-
able to identify Schlcnger. the defend

Wadhams sustained the objection. Mr..
Smith said he had subpnnaed The

made the arrangements with Schlenger
regarding the account. The cashier
did not respond to the subpoena. but
sent two paying tellers instead
