Arrest of Tipster May
Clear Jockeys Name
Prisoner Accused of Signing
Knapp to Letters Soliciting
Money for Racing Pools

With the arrest yesterday of Will
lam Hanlon. thirty-hve years old, tip
ster, of 4O2 Nostrand Avenue, Brook
lyn, the police believe they will be able
to clear the name of William S. Knapp,
a jockey, whose license was refused on
the ground that he had been furnish
ing racing information to outsiders.
Knapp lives at 80 Queens Road,
Queens Village. Early in the season
the Jockey Club revoked his license and
barred him from various tracks on the
ground that many racing leaks had
been traced to him. This he denied.
Hanlon into custody he has long list
Of patrons throughout Brooklyn and
Queens to whom he has been furnish
ing racing tips, saying that he was
Jockey Knapp. He is further accused
of sending letters to residents Of Rich
mond Hill in which he signed Knapp's
name.
, Some of these letters, the police say,
contained the suggestion that by max
ing up pool and giving it to Knapp"
the writer could and would fix q race in
such a way as to make a killing for
them. Certain residents of Richmond
Hill are alleged to have put up $1,000
which they sent to Knapp" In some
way the fixing" of the race failed, and
they were again asked to make up q
pool. 1t is said they contributed 49,
000 and lost again.
Knapp, the jockey, employed de-
tectives to find the man who was i'm
personating him, and the arrest Of
Hanlon resulted.
When questioned at Police Head
quarters Hanlon, it is said, confessed
that he had impersonated the jockey.
He will be arraigned to-day on charge
of forgery.

The truck driver was arrested some

Of bail. Starkey has been a frequent
visitor at the prison and their confer

them to burn tAeua, together with other
mail the pouch held.
Before this theft, the confession is
said to relate, there was another in
june of this year, when Johnson ar
rived at the Starkey home with large
bundle of letters and two packages.
In one package was q platinum brace
let set with diamonds, and two rings
were in the other. According to the
confession. johnson kept the jewelry,
md after the men had read the'letters
they destroyed them.
Experts said last night that it would
be difficult to reimburse the owners of
the bonds either with new bonds or
with cash, for a number Of reasons,
Chief among these, he said, is the lack
Of knowledge Of what bonds were
burned, their numbers, actual denoui-
nations, whether registered and if they
bore coupons. 1t would be necessary,
they. pointed out. for the railroads to
check up on every bond now outstand-
ing before it could be ascertained
exactly what bonds mad been destroyed,
thus, justifying them IN issuing new
bonds or redeeming the lost ones.

Children ON Way Home

Fifty Russian boys, between the ages
OF sixteen and nineteen, part of the
colony Of Russian children en- route
from Siberia, and now on the govern
ment reservation at Fort Wadsworth
awaiting transportation to Petrograd,
made q dash for liberty yesterday
Most Of them were apprehended by
guards from Fort Wadsworth and the
Staten Island police when they reached
the Staten Island ferry for Manhattan.
Some of them were still at large last
night, but the Red Cross authorities
IN charge Of the children, and Colonel
Wardwell, commander at the fort, were
OF the opinion that they are secreted
on the island and would return to the
reservation when they got hungry.
The wholesale efforts at escape at
the fort came after Russian Bolshe-
vik and radical propagandists visited
the fort on Tuesday and told the older
boys and girls Of the 7so children to
resist the plan of the Red Cross to
take them to France, pending their
transportation home
The boys we're aided in their escape
by groups Of the Bolsheviki who
waited for them outside the gates
Of the fort. The fugitives eluded the
guards at the gates by making wide de-
tours and jumping over the fence.
Major Dwyer, of the Red Cross, at
tributed the efforts Of the boys to es-
cape to the propaganda of the Bolshe-
vik visitors.
Red Cross officials declared also that
the agitators have urged the elder bows
and girls to go on hunger strike if
they are taken aboard the Japanese
steamer which brought them here from
Siberia for transportation to France.
Representatives. Of Russian organiza-
tions at the fort who are distributing
clothing and footwear to the children
yesterday denied responsibility fer the
Bolshevik agitation among the chill
dren. They declared that while they
are objecting to the plan of the Red
Cross to take the children to France,
they have not urged the children either
to escape or to show resistance to the
Red Cross.
the children are expected to depart
for Europe late this week.
