There were about sixty men in the
New Central Cafe, Lenox Avenue and
10th Street, when the door opened
about a. m. yesterday and six masked
men entered. AS soon as they got in
side the door the six spread out into
line, drew revolvers and ordered the
patrons to line up against the wall,
their hands above their Heads.
The sixty obeyed; and two Of the
holdup men began to search them.
Halfway through their task the search
ers had to borrow caps from com
panions, their own being overlooking
with watches, rings, stickpins and
money.
In all they got about $4,000. One
unfortunate victim. who was able to
produce only cheap watch, got
punch in the nose that sent him
sprawling.

German Shin
Deal Secret
Officials Refuse to Publish
Terms of Hamburg-Amer-
lean Line Agreement De-
spite Ruling of Jones Act
Clegg Charges ignored
Allegations Made That Teu-
tons Will Benefit at Ex-
pense of United States


WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Oficials of
the United States Shipping Board
withheld comment to-day on the state
ment made by w. Averll Hartman de-
nying that the Hartman shipping in
terests, in entering an agreement with
the Hamburg-American Line, mad made
deal unfavorablc to American ship
ping and cne that might enable the
Germans to reestablish their pre-war
foreign trade.
The Shipping Board approved the
agreement entered into between the
American Ship and Commerce Corpora
ton, of which Mr.. Hartman is presi-
dent, and the Hamburg American Line,
and Admiral Benson, chairman of the
board, hes steadfastly defended the
boards action.
A copy of the agreement entered into
is on file with the Shipping Board, but
at the offices of the board to-day it was
said that the document was not a pub
lie record and that the board could not
publish its terms without the approval
of all parties concerned.
The Jones act requires that all such
agreements and in fact any memoran-
da or other documents requested by
the board of any shipping concern,
ment between the American Ship and
Commerce Corporation and the Ham
burg-Amerc Line, it was said. the
agreement was submitted to the Ship
ping Board voluntarily and with out
any request from the board for it. Mr..
Hartman could publish the text of the
agreement if he saw fit to do so, it
was said.
Shipping Board Silent
The statements made in his corre-
spondence with Admiral Benson, pub
lished by Mr.. Hartman to-day, that
the agreement closely followed the
lines of previous tentative agree
ment between the Shipping Board and
the Hamburg American Line, went un-
challenged by the Shipping Board, as
did also the statements that the
changes made in the agreement at the
last minute before it was finally ac-
cetted were advantageous to American
shipping.
The Shipping Board is paying little
or no attention officially to the charges
made by II. +. Kerr and A. e. Clegg,
former owners Of the Kerr Steamship
Company and part owners Of the Kerr
Navigation Company, which were alb
sorbed in the agreement between the
American Ship and Commerce Cor
pofatlon. that the agreement would
eventually turn back to the Germans
their pre-war commerce and that all
the facts surrounding the agreement
had not been submitted to the Shin
ping Board
Shipping Board officials to-day de-
clared that Kerr aud Clegg, under The
provisions of the Jones act, could Law
the whole matter before the board for

man government TO leave the country.
Pending their departure the Russians
and will not be allowed TO receive or

Two distinct revolutionary parties.
one pledged 10 the dictatorship of the
prolelariat- through an alliance with
the Third Internationale; the other
working toward ''proletarian comrade-
ship" in opposition to Moscow, have
developed out of the wreck of the In
dependent Socialists.
The left majority, under the leader
ship OF Daumig, Adolph Hoffman,
and Otto Bass, the young leader Of
Rhineland labor, conferred on the
question OF executing an agreement
with Moscow for a world revolution,
and directed the district leaders to
prepare for strike.
The minority, under the joint pres
idency of George Ledebour and Herr
Crispien, in a separate convention, laid
plans to communicate with the reyo-
lutionary forces in all countries op-
posed to Moscow and prepare an or
ganized campaign against Bolshevist
methods
They adopted Herr Ledebour's resO-
luton OF sympathy with Bolshevist
aims. but expressing unalterable oppo-
sItion to the policy of destruction
and terrorism"
The two conventions adjourned, both
claiming the old party's name.
The minority faction was defeated,
23T TO 1J6, on the question Of adhesion
to the Third Internationale.
In the majority session, which con-
tinued after the minority group left
the hall, greetings on behalf of the
Third Internationale were extended by
II. Zinovieff, the soviet emissary to the
gathering. He urged the conference 20
send a representative to the Commun-
ist internationale organization.
Before the adoption of the major
ity resolution George Ledebour and
Herren Rosenfeld, Crispien and Ditt-
mann offered u compromise resolution
pledging the party to sympathy with
soviet Russia, but declining to join an
organization seeking to promote a
world revolution through terror and
destruction" This proposal, however,
received scant consideration.
A flareup was caused at one stage
of the debate by Herr Hoffman call
ing Herr Ledebour an 'old woman"
The party split leaves the Moscow
adherents in control of twenty-one. OF
the eighty-one reichstag deputies.
The Rights, of whom Herr Crispien
is leader, adopted resolution direct
