new YORK POLICE GET
GANG OF BOLD ROBBERS
Six Under Arrest Suspected
of Being Organized
Hold-Up Men.

New York, Sept. 1O.-Many of the
holdups that have occurred in New
York in the last month were attribut-
ed by the police to six men who were
arrested today after a subway station
holdup, a fight in an automobile and
gun play in a lodging house. The po-
lice said five of the men signed confess
sions that they had held up seven sub
way or elevated stations and stolen half
a dozen automobiles. In addition the
police expressed the belief that the men
were responsible for a series of cigar
store holdups.
Four men were arrested in an upper
west side lodging house whittier the Of
ficers were directed by John Leubecke
after the latter had been arrested in an
automobile at the pistol point. The
four were armed and in the room were
found bags of money stolen from SUBJ
way stations and automobile parts
The holdup of Frank Schneider, tick
ct seller at a Bronx station, who
thought he had made himself bandit
proof, started matters today.
Because of other subway holdups he
had arranged a telephone under the
shelf of his booth. Three men started
to buy tickets, then suddenly pointed
pistols at him and demanded his mon
ey. He dropped to the floor and tele-
phoned the police. The men seized his
money and fled in an automobile.
Summoned by another subway en-
ploye a policeman jumped on the run
ming board of the fleeing automobile.
Two of the bandits jumped out. Leu
becke was at the wheel. The police
man with a pistol persuaded him TO
drive to a station house and after much
questioning he drove the car, loaded
with detectives, to the west side address
where the four men were captured. The
car was a stolen one.
The sixth man was arrested on the
street as a suspicious character and
identified by the five as one of their
gang

Institution.

Two boys begged Judge G.. w. Klett
at this mornings juvenile court session
to send them to the Reform School at
Meriden, where one of their pals is now
confined and another is to be returned

red to go to the institution rather than
be given another chance. Their cases
were continued until Monday morning.
Policeman Patrick McAvay arrested
the youths this morning near the re-
freshment booth at Walnut Hill park
where, they admitted, they had plan
ned a break. The boys were trailed to
the park from Broad street, where they
had stolen some bread from in front

ter will come up October 3.

weeks to construct was employed
Thursday night in effecting the es-
cape of some SO inrerned Slim Fem
ers from the CurragfI internmcnt

The camp is surrounded by several
rows of barbed wire ENHANCEMENT
and is heavily guarded by soldiers.
The prisoners built the tunnel under
the barbed wire, using some of the
flooring of their huts for props. The
most difficult part was to elude the
guard. This was done by creating a
diversion Thursday evening. Numer-
Gus prisoners gave songs and recita-
tions which received great applause
both from other interned med and,
it is said from the guard. While this
was proceeding between 40 and so
both from other interned men and,
