OLD COUNTERFEITER
CAUGHT IN CHASE
Restaurant Man Couldn't Be
Stung TWice.

a man who afterward gave his name
as James Nolan took a bite in the lunch
room operated by John Draper in 496
Ninth avenue late last night and ten
dered a $40 Federal Reserve Bank note
in payment. Draper had been worsted
in an encounter with a counterfeiter
two or three days before, no he looked
long and carefully at the bill. Then he
said:
I'm bet this Is counterfeit"
Nolan Immediately turned and ran
from the restaurant, pursued by Draper
and Diapers dog. A crowd Joined In
the chase, and Nolan finally ran into
Thirty-frst street near Eighth avenue
and hid under a mail truck. where he
was arrested by Detective James Finn.
He was taken to Police Headquarters
and charged with counterfeitlng.
At headquarters the police say they
knew Nolan better RS Jim Stewart"
and that he was a noted counterfeiter.
He was said to have admitted serving
three terms in the Federal prison at
Leavenworth. When they searched him
the police found three dies and several
50 bills in process of change to higher
denominations. Nolan told the detec-
lives that he used Reserve Bank notes
exclusively and did most of his counter
feiting with n razor. which he used
deftly TO shave off the numerals in the
corners. after which he filled In higher
figures with his dies. The smaller nu-
merals on the margin of the note Nolan
said he smeared with ink, thus eracing
them.

committse's last hsarine and that . re-
port would be made to the Board Of
Regents in Albany on May 20.
The statement issued by Comptroller
Craig said In part:
This was the most unfair hearing I
ever witnessed In my experience. The
regents committee showed plainly that
It desires to suppress the facts about
the mismans cement OF school affairs by
Auditor Cook and Superintendent Mt
tineer. These two subordinatsn of the
Board OF Education are using the re-
gents to accomplish their own personal
ends to the detrinent Of the public
schools. They are trying to stir up
strife to conceal their own misdoings.
THE regents plainly do not want the
facts. They repeatedly shut off simple
recital OF the way In which the city au-
thorities are endeavoring to safeguard
the uss Of public school appropriations
OF more than S5o,ooo,ooo to have the
money lawfully used. The regents pro-
tasted that they knew all about It. from
Cook and Ettingsr whenever anything
relating 10 the use OF these large appro-
rriations was volunteered by Comptroller
Craig. In the next breath they displayed
total ignorance of the elementary fnan-
oial requirements and safeguards that
control the use Of public funds.
when the Comptroller endeayored to
inform them that the Board OF Estimate
and Apportionment had authorised APP
for building between fifty
and sixty new public schools Of the An
est modern type, they tried to prevent
the statement from going into the rec
ORD, although they admitted that IL had
been concealed from them by Ettinger
and Cook. II the Regents committee
were coconspirators with the clique OF
subordinates employed by the Board of
they could not lend them
selves with more facility to the effort to
disrupt New York citys great educa-
tional system and turn II over to ring

LANDLORD TORACE
RENT QUIZ TO-DAY
Five More Must Explain All
Increases to Hirshfield
Tomorrow.

If David Hirshfeld. Commissioner OF
Accounts, has reason to believe a land
lord has lacked up the rents of a tenant
to figure that would indicate protiteer-
Ing, he will bring the landlord before
him under subpoena and ask leading
questions. The examination vii! be de-
signed to determine exactly what return
the landlord Is getting on his money. II
the evidence shows the returns are
greater than any reasonable owner OF
a building has the right to expect Mr.
Hirshfeld will be in possession of facts
indicating that the assessed valuation OF
the property should be raised. And in
making this announcement yesterday
the Commissioners said that under these
circumstances he would be fully justi-
fed In increasing the assessment to a
figure in harmony with the landlord
ideas OF rent returns.
Mr.. Hrshfeld vail have one land
lord before him at 2 o'clock this after
noon. and five more are booked for
similar ordeals tomorrow morning The
man who was subppnaed to appeff be-
fore the Commissioner to-day is &C
cused of exacting rent increases in in
stalments from s2S In October, 1918, to
$50 the latest announced price, TO begin
October. 1919.
that taxes are equltably distributed. and
he proposes, he said, TO do his full duty.
Wouldn't landlord increase a ten
ants rent again Il you raised the land
lords asse ssment after you had !nves-
tigated him." Mr., Hirshheld was asked.
Well" he replied, taxes are levied
annually, you know"
Mr.. Hlrshfeld explained that outside
the fact that he and Nathan Hirsch,
chairman of the Mayors committee on
rent profteering, are intensely interested
in the rent situation. he has nothing
whatever to do with, official activities
Of the committee.
However. he added. he has invited Mr..
Hirsch and his associates on the com.
mittee to attend to-day's hearing al
which he will try to get from the land.
lord accused OF boosting rents "informa-
ton which I have right to have"
Ahram I. Elkus. chairman OF the Gov
ernor's Commission on Reconstruction,
said in relation to the ordinance in
troduced in the Board of Aldermen di-
recting the city to acquire lands by pur-
chase and to erect thereon:
IAN examination OF the municipal
plan discloses serious legal problems
that would cause delay. and any State
plan would neoessitate constitutional
amendment--a process which would re-
quire three years. We are
driven to the logical conclusion that this
does not hold out the hope OF additional
housing accommodations needed by the
city of New York before the next winter
sets In"
The advisory committee of the hous-
ing committee will consider to-day
three plans for relieving the situation.
Allan Meyers Of - Brandt place. The

Hylan that his landlord, who is his

in goodly jumps from October. 1918,

We are not getting anywhere. We are

that such and such thing would wreck

After further questioning Mr.. Cook es-
t!mated that It would cost $780, 600 a
year to keep the accounts in the way
that the Comptroller demands.
Asked as to cases in which the Comp
troller refused TO pay teachers salaries

STRONG DEMAND
FOR GOOD HORSES
EXCEEDS SUPPLY
Live Stock Show Brings Out
Interest in Both Heavy
and Light Horses

The horse is by no means Decom-
ing obsolete either for general utility
or pleasure purposes, according TO the
breeders and importers OF both heavy
and light horses, who will show at
the California International Livestock
Show in the California Building at
San Francisco, November 1st to Sth.
Breeders of draft horses declare
that the demand far exceeds the sup
ply, one Of the chief reasons being
the falling off of breeding few years
ago when motor trucks came into such
prominent use, supplanting the draft
er. While trucks are being used more
than ever, still there is work for the
draft horse that the truck never Will
crowd out Europe is now importing
heavy drafters instead Of exporting.
80 the breeder in this country finds an
unlimited market.
San Francisco society has entered
into the horse show contests at the
California International with great
enthusiasm, and the classes OF three
and five-gaited horses as we'll as smart
! harness equipment will make show
| ing OF light horses that has not here

An arena seating 5000 or more people

demonstrate that the horse is coming
into his own and that the Pacific
Coast is still tho breeding place for
good ones.
