charge camp. A petition for execu-
tive clemency was drawn up and
forwarded to the governor of New
York. He was told that Monk was a
hero.
And Monk was pardoned and re-
stored to citizenship, and he went
back among his fellow citizens. The
gangster, it seems, had paid in
full"
That was the last time Monk
made copy" for the papers until
today, when, several hours after his
brutal murder. his identity was es-
tablished by the police officials.
Dies I'm Own District.
Death came to the ganster in the
very district in which he once had
been all powerful. and in which he
began his sway as a bartender-the
lower East Side.
Eastman, the police said tonight,
came from a good family, and his
real name was William Delaney.
His parents were Mr.. and Mrs Will
lam Delaney. They were able to
Delaney apparently hungered for

always remained devoted to his
parents, however, and they came to
his aid in every difficulty.
A few months ago a detective met
Eastman outside his home in Brook
lyn and asked the gangster what he
was doing.
Il am not Eastman any more"
the former gangster replied. II am
just plain William Delaney. I'll tell
the world I'm going straight"
Eastman was about Al years OLD.
He was discharged from the 106th
Infantry of the Twenty-seventh
Division on April 2, 1913, and his
service record was marked Eek
cellent."
Supreme Court Justice Morchauser
in writing Gov. Smith in Eastman's
behalf. following the plea for res
toration of citizenship, said:
"He volunteered his services for
his country and made good, offering
his life to the end that law and
order should prevail in the world"
Capt. Robert G. Conrow, Eastman5
commanding officer, wrote:
He was a quiet and. disciplined
soldier and toward all his comrades
he evinced the greatest kindness and
devotion"
Enemies vindictiye.
Monk never was forgiven. by some
of his enemies. There always was
the other gang" which bided its
time and waited for revenge. Ana
Christmas night seemed a likely
time for the EYE for an eye"
Eastman was alone and appar-
emily on his way home One man
accosted him, asking for a match.
As the gang leader reached to his
pocket a flash came from a doorway
followed by two or three others.
Eastman was hit and went down,
but reached for his own automatic
as he fell, ybracing himself on hts
right elbow. Monk opened fire. A
fifth shot from a doorway, caught
him in the abdomen and finished
him.
Monks own gun was found some
yards from the body, evidently
kicked from his hand by one of his
assassins.

Weather Takes Joy
Out of Life for
Kids With Sleds

One DAY behind Santa Claus,
Washington's first snowfall of the
present winter arrived yesterday af-
ternoon. Itwas apparently some
what-sshamed Of itself for its dila-
toriness. lapsing into rain after a
few hopeful bursts of fakes, which
temporarily whitened outlying
streets.
The Weather Bureau declared last
night that rain might be looked for
until this afternoon when a clear
ing spell. accompanied by a fall of
the mercury, is charted. The dis
turbance which caused yesterdays
precipitation is general over the
eastern portion of the country, IT
was said. Up to midnight less than
10 inch melted snow and rain was

A little more than a week ago
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, called

crafts to discuss the reclassiication
measure as IL would affect each

representatives were requested to
return to the local they represented
and learn just what it's sentiment

Many of these representatives
have already accomplished this pur-
pose and it is expected all will be
ready to report at another general
conference to be held during the
second week In January.

400 Bahama Islanders
Threaten Florida City
Troops Guard Miami From
British Subjects Incensed at
Death of Prisoner

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 2.-Florida Ma
tional Guardsmen were called out to-
night to protect the city from disorders
threatened by four hundred negroes, ma
tives of the Bahama Islands, and British
subjects, who have been aroused over the
death of Herbert Brooks, one of their
number, charged with assaulting
Miami white woman.
Brooks was arrested at Ormond, Fla,
on Saturday, and was reported to have
been killed in a leap from a train taking
him to Jacksonville for safe keeping.
The other negroes, said to believe that
he died at the hands of a mob, made
demonstration and threatened to obtain
vengeance when his body was returned
to Miami. Troops were patrolling the
negro residence section tonight.
A. A II. Hubbard, British Vice Con-
sui at Miami, demanded an autopsy,
which was performed by local medical
officials, who reported nothing to JUS
tify the version which the negroes pro-
fessed to believe.
Notwithstanding, Mayor Smith OBJ
tanned the sanction of the State Ad-
jutant General to the call for troops.
No disorders were reported after their
going on duty.
