Pair Freed When
Prosecutor Charges
Police ''Frane-Up"
Men Convicted OH False
Testimony Of Brooklyn
Patrolmen, District At
torney Informs Court

Two men, convicted on a charge of
conspiracy through testimony given by
two Brooklyn policemen, were freed
yesterday and the charges against
them dismissed when District Attorney
Harry A. Lewis fent before Judge Fres-
chi in the Court Of Special Sessions,
where the men were to have been SEN
fenced, and said he believed the stories
told by the policemen were false.
About two weeks ago Solomon Gold
man, twenty, of 1349 East New York
Avenue, and Samuel Serotn, twenty
five, Of 1871 Lincoln Avenue. were
convicted or testimony of Patrol
men Charles Schneidmuller and John
Reider, who alleged the two men had
planned to commit a burglary and di-
vide the proceeds with the policemen
on the promise OF immunity. Goldman
and Serota protested their conviction
was "frame-up," but both were found
guilty.
81 am absolutely convinced that the
story of these two officers was made
out Of whole cloth and is unbeleva-
ble," said District Attorney Lewis in
moving that the convictions be set
aside. ain my Office they made state
ments in which they contradicted each
other. One policeman said that the
other struck Goldman when the latter
proposed to him that he help commit a
burglary. When the policeman who was
supposed to have Struck Goldman was
asked about this alleged assault he de-
MED it.
81 am absolutely against the methods
of certain policemen who try to make
criminals in order to produce crime.
If the statement that a man is going
to commit crime can be made the
basis for this arrest, then no mans
liberty is secure. In the case of Gold
man, he never has been in trouble. AS
to Serota, it is true he once served a
term in Elmira, but it also is true that
he served with such bravery at Verdun
and in the Argonne that he was award
ed the Croix de Guerre and also has
been recommended in this country for
the D. S. M. In view of his war rec
ord, feel that the term in prison
should be forgotten. | ask that the
conyicyions of these two men be set
aside, and I also ask that the charges
against them be dismissed"
Judge Frcschi in granting the mo~
lion commended the District Attorney
for his attitude. Later Mr.. Lewis an
nounced that he was having a copy of
the minutes made and would forward
them to the Police Commissioner for
his acii ion

Many Surface Car Lines
Still Clogged With Snow
Kcnlon's Committee Charges
Companies Have Declined
to Do Share of Removal


to Do Share of Removal
Complaint that the surface car lines
were not doing their share of the snow
removal work on streets upon which
they operate yesterday was made again
by Fire Chief Kenlon's emergency COM
mittee.
Although the railway companies have
specific contracts, under which they
agree to do certain Of the snow re-
moval work in return for concessions
from the city, the New York Railways
Company is charged with failure to
live up to it's agreement. Job Hedges,
receiver for the corporation, says that
he is doing the best he can with the
men and means at hand.
Many Of the streetcar lines yester-
day were as nearly impossible to vehi-
cular traffic as the day after the storm,
more than three weeks ago. The Cor
poration Counsel's Office advised Street
Commissioner Arnold B. MacStay that
he might do the work himself and sue
the railways. But the Commissioner
questioned the wisdom of such action,
since the road already is in the hands
of receiver, and q judgment might
not be collectible.
Work in other streets was said to
be progressing rapidly, in spite of the
setback caused by the falling tcmpera-
ture. Many Of the emergency men have
been discharged and more will be
during the next day or two, since it
has been decided policy of retrench-
ment in the department is Of greatest
importance

CAMPAIGN To BEGIN

To gather data of the H. c. L. in
Phoenix an investigator from the Of
flee of Fair Price Commissioner George
II. Smalley arrived in this city yester-
day. The visit of the investigator is
in preparation for the Save Money on
Meat Campaign" which has been an
nounced by the department of justice
to be in effect for a week in Arizona
commencing April IL, when an effort
viii be made to bring about a reduction
in the prices of cuts of beef. pork and
lamb, for which there is now a great
demand The Save Money on Meat
campaign will endeavor to show con-
sumers the advantage of turning TO
cuts of meat which are as nutritious
as the most costly cuts.
On each day of the campaign some
cuts of the less expensive variety will
be featured and sold at low price
1t is pointed out by the department of
justice that if the consumers will take
advantage of the highly nutritious and
palatable pieces of meat which are rel
atfvely inexpensive. that the saving
will be tremendous, and the diminished
demand for the now popular cuts will
lead to their price reduction. At the
present time some of the cuts in big
demand cost so or so cents more per
pound than other cuts just as GOOD, il
not SO popular.

Dainty Neck Piece Twisted Around
Bare Throat Adds to Jaunttness
Of the Evening Costume.

: The gauzy tulle scarfs. twisted
around the bare throat with evening
gowns, promise to be just as popular
this. season as they were last. and
there is no prettier fashion. The airy
tulle scarf is exceedingly becoming.
It adds a bit Of extra formality to the
costume. And light as It is. it protects
the bare throat .and neck. from
draughts. Many Of these tulle scarfs
are observed at the theater and one
sees them also with dinner and dance
.frocks. Bright green tulle and deep
blue tulle look well with black evening
gowns and give a certain dash to the
whole costume. Gray tulle is ex-
qulsite with gray frocks and taupe
tulle looks well with costume OF
the same shade. Lovely indeed are
white tulle scarfs with white evening
frocks.'
Tulle IS used for sashes, too. and
