Smiling Robbers Shoot
When Victim Calls Help

The two smiling hold-up men visited
Washington Heights again last night.
Only this tine they lost their good
nature, quit smiling and shot a victim
who shouted for help. Although one
wore an army uniform. police feel sure
they were the same Joval robbers who
have been working overtime in that
district the last few nights.
They grinned genially when they
pulled revolvers and requested Louis
Levy to walk to the rear of his mems
furnishing store at 1886 Broadway
shortly before midnight. When one
started to search his pockets Levy
cried for help.
The robbers both frowned and both
fred pointblank at Levy. One bullet
inflicted slight scalp wound on Levy.
"You guys have to be scared; you
believe we won't kill just because we
appear good d-natured," said one of the
robbers as they walked out.
The crowd that was attracted by
the shots gave chase. Police Sergeant
Knoles fired several shots at the
fleeing pair before they escaped
through an apartment house basement
on Convent Avenue.

Night Increased TO -Four

Lynch him!" tried to take him from

Rizzio is the only man so far taken
by the police against whom definite
charges are made. Two others were
held yesterday as suspects in the mur-
der of James Canala, the chauffeur,
who was shot, to death in the hallway
of his home Monday night.
Police were inclined to deny that

They insisted that the two young Ital
ians shot each other to death over
girl although persons who knew them
say they were friends

Meeting the brass head and foot Of the
bed There were peculiar scratches
and lacerations, like those done with
clutching fngernails on Robee's body.
The death clutch was plainly Wis
ible from the marks on the mans
throat. The theory advanced by the
police is that the man had been asked
for the jewels either by the friend
whose voice was heard by the boarder
or by another who came. secretly to
rob him. His refusal caused a strug
gle and an outcry, which was sup
pressed by choking, causing the mans
death.
Robee had no relatives in New York
except his sister and a nephew, who
were at the house last night. Both de-
cined to discuss the tragedy, saying
only that G. brother, who is doctor
in Ohio, will have charge of the fu
neral arrangements. Robee had left
letter it was said, telling how he want
ed his funeral arrangements carried
out This letter was written some time
ago and contained nothing of impor
tance bearing on the present tragedy.

IA ''Reds'' to Get
Hearing by Writ
Of Habeas Corpus
Nine Probably Will Be Re-
leased and Deportation
Warrants Issued Against
Other Five, Say Officials

The fourteen Spanish Reds under
arrest here in connection with the re-
ported nationwide conspiracy to as
sassinate President Wilson will be pro-
duced in court this morning before
United States District Judge Knox
Harry Weinberger, their attorney, OBJ
tanned writ of habeas corpus in their
behalf yesterday.
Secret Service officers let it be
known that nine of the fourteen prob
ably will be released without opposi-
ton. The remaining five, it is be-
lieved, will be rearrested on deporta-
ton warrants.
The application for the writ sets forth
that "it is claimed the prisoners were
guilty of conspiracy to kill the Pres
ident of the United States," and that
they also are being held for further
inquiry by the Secret Service into their
right to be in this country"
ct is your petitioners belief" it
goes on, "that the alleged conspiracy has
no basis in fact and was merely an
excuse to arrest so-called radicals and
that the Secret Service has admitted it
has no proof of a bomb conspiracy
against the President and that at the
present time they are merely ques-
tioning the defendants and putting them
through what is commonly known as
the third degree. to obtain information
from them"
Copiesof the writ were served upon
Captain Peter A. Rubano, of the Secret
Service, and Acting Detective Sergeant
Brown, of the bomb squad.
Mr. Weinberger, following confer
ence with his clients at Police Head
quarters, declared that several of them
had expressed willingness to return
to Spain.
Mr. Weinberger ascribed the whole cf-
fort to make it appear as though there
had been plot against the President
to the desire Of governmental agencis
to forstall any inclination the Presi-
dent might have to extend amnesty to
"political prisoners"

Drifts a Year
I'm Arctic Circle
On Ice Cak e
Explorer Storkerson Lands
Back OH Alaskan Coast,
Whence He Started, 1918
Pet Theory Exploded
No Westward Current. and
the Expedition Fails to
Reach Siberian Coast

OTTAWA. Feb 25.-The safe arrival
on the north coast of Alaska on last
November 7 of Storker Storkerson, the
Arctic explorer, and his four compan-
ions was announced in dispatch from
him to-day forwarded from Fort Yukon
to the Canadian Department of Naval
Service.
The explorer set out from the north
coast of Alaska in March, 1918, to drift
westward on an ice cake across the
polar basin on the theory that the
currents would land him on the coast
of Siberia. 1t appears from his dis
patches to-day that the ice cake on
which his party camped merely carried
them around in what might be consd-
cred a huge eddy.
No Westward Current
In addition to upsetting the theory,
current among geographers and polar
authorities, of a westward current,
Storkerson reported that his trip has
resulted in the taking Of important
deep sea soundngs.
The work carried out by Storkerson
and his party was planned by Vilhjal-
mur Stefansson, who intended to COM
mand the party personally, but was
prevented by illness.
The party started on March Is, 1918,
from Cross Island. on the north coast
Of Alaska. At the outset it consisted of
nine whites and four Esquimous with
eight sledges. After about two weeks
Of travel Storkerson sent back four of
the men and three sledges and short
time later sent back three more sledges
with all but four of the men.
The party then established camp or
