Sailing w. Baruch. brother of Ber-

brokerage firm OF A. A. Housman d
Co., 20 Broad street. caused the arrest
yesterday of Guy P. Plum. 20. a sales
man, of 2O1 West 10th street, who.
It is alleged, armed with an obsolete
detectives badge. attempted to extort
money.
Mr. Baruch told the police Pflum en-
tered his Office, introduced himself as
New York detective. and showed a
sheet Of paper on which appeared a
number of names These, Pflum Is al
legged to have said. were the names cs
"disreputable persons" he was invesii-
eating. and that Mr.. Baruch's name
was among them, but that everything
could be fixed up" for a sum or
money.
Mr.. Baruch says he told the man TO
wait. then stepped out and summoned
Detectives Minturn and Dunphy from
the Old slip station. When Plum was
searched at Police Headquarters several
clippings giving details OF various swim
ding and confidence schemes were found.
according to the police. Among these the
name of "Dapper Dom Collins. wanted
for shooting John II. Reid In the Bronx
apartment OF Mrs. Hazel Warner last
May. appeared prominently.
Pflun. according to the police. denied
he had tried to extort money from Mr..
Baruch, and said he had been sent to his
office with the paper by another man.
He said the badge, which was like those
formerly used by detective sergeants,
was given him by a friend.

MAN NOW SOUGHT
IN HANAN TRAGEDY
Mrs. Lawes Killed by Mysteri-
GUS Male Companion, Dis
trict Attorney Hears.

District Attorney Harry E. Lewis OF
Kings county said in Brooklyn yester-
day that he intended to investigate
report that Mrs. Grace Lawes. who shot
Miss Mildred Hanan last Thursday
morning in front of 35 Schermerhorn
street, Brooklyn, did not shoot herself
later, but was killed by another man
who was present when Mrs. Lawes con-
fronted Miss Hanan and John ). Bor-
land. According to this report the sec
ond man disappeared after he had shot
Mrs. Lawes.
Mr.. Lewis would not say where this
report had come from or whether he at
tached much importance to 1t, but he
did say that he would summon wit
nesses within few days who would be
able to tell whether there Is any truth
in it. 1t Is likely that one of the steps
of this investigation will be to examine
the body o. Mrs. Lawes and see II the
wound from which she died was con-
tact wound that is, II 1t was made by
holding the pistol close to her mouth.
Assistant District Attorney Reuben
Wilson continued his investigation yes
terday on the theory that Mrs. Lawes
shot Miss Hanan and then shot herself.
QueSllOneQ MISS WIFI "a
514 Madison avenue, who was a friend
OF both women and to whom Mrs.
Lawes addressed one of her last letters.
Mr.. Wilson also spoke to Alfred p.
Hanan, Jr., Miss Hanan's brother.
Neither visitor could throw any light
upon the matter.
From Miss Williams. Mr. Wilson
learned that Mrs. Lawes had suffered
from gall stones several years ago. II
is thought that she began to use drugs
at that time in an endeavor to deaden
the pain of her illness Miss Williams
lived for year with Mrs. Lawes. and
Is declared to have stated that she had
to rebuke Mrs. Lawes several times for
drinking.
John S. Borland, who was with Miss
Hanan when she received the shots that
killed her. is expected to call at the
District Attorneys office to-day, also
in connection with Mr.. Wilson's en-
deavor to get at the motive for Mrs.
Lawess acts. 1t Is probable that Miss
Dorothy Gottschalk, whose home at 35
Schermerhorn street Miss Hanan and
Borland had left few minutes prior
to the shooting. will also be called.
Miss Hanan's body was removed to
tho home Of her brother, at Sea Gate.
yesterday. While information was not
obtainable last night from the family
as TO when the funeral will take place,
1t is understood 1t will be tomorrow.

RAND SCHOOL TESTS
NEW LICENSE LAW
Opens Sessions by Beginning
Course Of Instruction
in English.

The Rand School Of Social Science,
Which is much too conservative in the
opinion of four OF the members OF its
board. who resigned Sunday, and much
too radical in the opinion of trainers
of the Lusk license law, opened it's
sessions last night with nothing more
than the usual academic hustle and
confusion.
The business Of the evening consisted
in the instruction in English of four
classes of young men and women. AL
though the school opened without the
license required by the Lusk anti-sedi-
ton laws, Algernon Lee, educational
director. was not molested, despite the
fact that officially he was guilty OF a
misdemeanor.
Morris Hillquit, counsel for the school.
sent letter to Frank g. Gilbert, counsel
Tor the State Department Of Education,
admitting that the school was a school,
was run by a corporation, employed
teachers and had no license This action
relieves the State Of the necessity for
seniing investigators around to East
Fifteenth street to get proc. of all this
and puts the next move up 70 the State.
Mr.. Gilbert said In Albany yesterday
that he believed the most direct way Of
getting the law tested was to obtain an
injunction against the school, Attorney
General Charles D. Newton on his re-
turn to Albany will either move for an
injunction or proceed criminally against
the schools directors.
Mr.. Lee expressed the hope that there
would be no petty vexations." such as
arrest as n result of the schools de-
cision to test the constitutionality Of the
law.

the animal was harassing his
sheep, and Fales sued for 5000.
