ROBBED NEAR HEADQUARTERS
Police Suspect Thieves Who Ran
on With Their Pay Car.

Thieves who were apparently undis-
turbed by propinquity to the police were
found yesterday to have broken into the
ground floor Of the Fairbanks company,
scale and truck manufacturers. who &C.
cupy the building at Lafayette and
Broome streets. and robbed the till
The building is about 800 feet away
from Police Headquarters, and in plain
view from that institution. This fact
did not deter robbers on Monday night
from removing the entire pane of glass
in the window on Lafayette street and
stepping inside They pried open the
register taking $40 worth OF stamps. but
overlooking a small safe under counter.
containing several hundred dollars.
The raid was discovered yesterday
morning by John Knasbourgh. shipping
clerk. when he went to work. The
marauders were go careful of the
window pane that it was restored to Its
place intact by employees. The building
IS supposed to be protected by private
patrol, In addition to the city police. The

REAPPOINTS PRALL,
FORGIVING MISTAKE
Hylan Hits at School Supt.
Ettinger in Letter.

Reappointing Aiming 8. Prall of
Richmond to the Board OF Education
for a fun term OF seven years. Mayor
Hylan declared yesterday that the only
mistake he had made was in voting for
William l.. Ettinser for City superin-
tendent of Schools. Praising the work
OF Mr.. Prall. in letter to him, the
Mayor said:
The only mistake In judgment that
you have made during your time just
expired. that I can see, was voting for
a Superintendent OF Schools who during
tho occupancy OF his new office seems
to be more interested in increasing the
school budget to the extent of millions
Of dollars than in the professional side
Of his duties; that Is, the education Of
the children and the construction OF new
school houses.
This same superintendent refused to
allow the Commissioner of Accounts to
examine the books OF Auditor Cook and
defied the authority of the Board of Edu-
cation and attempted to recognize State
Deputy Commissioner of Education
Finegan as his immediate superior But
your action In taking a stand in behalf
OF the people of the city against State
educational politicians in advocating
salary bills which would place an add
tional burden and heavy financial obi
CATION on the taxpayers and thereby
giving another excuse for rent profiteers
to raise their rents is deserving of the
highest praise"

EXPELLED MEMBER
SUES THE YALE CLUB
L. Harding Rogers, Jr., Denies
Knowledge of Forged Check.

l.. Harding Rogers. Jr.. a lawyer, has
brought suit in the Supreme Court for a
mandamus order to compel the Yale Club
TO rescind its action OF March, 1918, by
which he was expelled from the club be-
cause of his connection with the cashing
of forged check for 800. The check
was used by Rogers to liquidate a debt
Of $75 which he owed the club, and the
name forged to II was that of A. Cum
inghane Of the Indian-Atlantic Supply
Company.
The charge was made that Rogers
forged the check His afYdavits act
forth that on December 81. 1917, he met
William II. Robinson, a former vice.
president of the Norfolk and Western
Railway, who bore under his arm a fat
goose, which Robinson said he was taxi
Ing to Cuninghane's home for New
Years dinner. They had few drinks
and Rogers tried to borrow some money
from Robinson. Robinson said he didn't
have 1t, but asked Rogers where he
could cash check.
Rogers, according to his affidavits,
said he was well known at the Yale
Club. but owed that organization s75
Rogers alleges that Robinson then Allied
out blank check for 800, signing
unfnghane's name. and this was cashed
Mt the club. Later Robinson was ar
rested and pleaded guilty 20 forgery, but
was released on his promise to quit
drinking. The club authorities charged
Rogers with improper conduct and ex-
PEELED him. Rogers insists that he did
not know the check was forged and that
the hearing before the club council was
not conducted in a manner to give him
fair trial.
