Third Avenue, Brooklyn, Patrolman
Henry Elder, of tho Fourth Avenue sta
ton, found "Kid Cheese" and ten boon
companions playfully tossing chairs,
dishes and lemon meringue pies about

on this unmannerly behavior, where
upon, he says, he received the hard
end Of bottle Of ketchup over the
head demonstrating further, the po-
liceman's Uranium stopped plate and
a drinking glass found refuge between
his eyes.
/. Then Elder got mad and went after
the "Kid," whose friends rallied to his
support, knocked Elder down and pun
meled him. Tho policeman drew his
gun, dragged his assailant to tele-
phone booth and managed to get the
reserves to the scene.
They gathered in "Kid' Cheese" who
s said to be really Harry Irving, of

of 249 Fiftieth Street; James Gillon,,

ALBANY, March 6.--In a letter to
viii H. Hays, chairman Of the Repub-
lican National Committee, Assembly
man William c. Amos, Republican, Of
the 11th Assembly District, New York
Country, calls upon him to mako
public declaration that the Republican
party does not approve Of the proceed
ing of the Assembly to unseat tho five
Socialist members.
Assemblyman Amos, who character
ICES the proceedings as un-American,
high-handed and tinctured with reli-
gious prejudice and bigotry, declared
that it is time the leaders Of the Re-
publican party make 1t known through
out the country that the party 1s not
behind Speaker Thaddeus G. Sweet and
his personally directed custer Of the
Socialist delegation.
Amos, who is the son Of Methodist
minister, declares he has felt the effect
of the religious prejudice personally,
along with other members Of the As
sembly who have fought Speaker Sweet,
One of Speaker Sweets supporters in
the Assembly, according to Assembly
man Amos, denounced him as a Jew
for being against the expulsion Of the
Socialists.
Disavowed by Party
"Whatever the final action may be-"
wrote Amos to Chairman Hays, ire
seating or expelling the Socialists, it
should be clearly set forth to the coun-
try that the Republican party has never
approved and does not now approve the
overthrow by legislative action Of the
result of a peaceable and lawfully con-
Quoted election"
A statement from Chairman Hays, in
the opinion of many here, would offset
the pressure brought to bear on Assem-
bymen who have been pledged, accord
ing to reports current here, to the
number of at least eightytwo, to un-
seat the five Socialists and thus save
the Speakers face.
In his letter to Chairman Hays, As
semblyman Amos wrote:

CHICAGO, March 6.-What has be-
come Of the Chicago inventor, Angelus
j. Casten? This question to-day taxed
the ingenuity Of the police Of three
cities. New evidence received has made
the matter more complex. -Four prob
abilities have presented themselves. 1t
is not known whether the man has
been murdered. kidnapped, killed by a
Michigan Central train. or is now in
Washington collecting royalties.
Wednesday morning Casten left Chi
cago over the Michigan Central for
Washington. His mission was to COL
lect back royalties from the govern
ment for war invention, propul-
sion charge for depth bombs, which he
had perfected and which the govern
ment had used during the war. He
passed Tuesday evening with his
fiancee, Miss Mabel Nelson, at her
home, 5428 West Palmer Street. Miss
Nelson is the daughter Of contractor
and has been engaged to Casten for
some time. Thursday afternoon she re-
ceived postal card from him, which
had been mailed at Battle Creek. 1t
