4 Burglaries ON Beat
While Captain Patrols
Mt. Vernon Officer Hears What
He Missed on Post When
He Returns to Station

Captain Fitzpatrick, of the Mount
Vernon police, took the early N orning
post in North Pelham himself yester-
day, not having enough patrolmen to
90 around. He expected to have rather
dull time of it and did, but it was a
Grand night for burglars, as he dis
covered when he got back to the police
station.
Four burglaries and an attempt at a
fifth robbery had been reported, and
every last one of them was on Captain
Fitzpatrick's post. After looking over
the complaints the captain deduced
that the North Pelham branch Of the
American Burglars Association had
been giving a Blowout somewhere in
his honor.
The burglars went first to the home
Of Henry Fritz on Second Avenue,
where they stole a pound leg of
lamb, two spoons, two knives, two
forks, two napkins and towel. They
then entered James Geoghan's home
and took bottle of olives, bottle of
milk, bottle of picked onions, half
pound of butter, loaf of bread and
sixteen biscuits. They called next on
Frank Meyer, at whose, home they OBJ
tanned five gallons of wine They broke
into Charles Holiness kitchen and, find
ing the lardcr low, took S35.
Davis Lyon, Town Supervisor, heard
them in his Kitchen, but they took
fright at his approach and ran, having
got only as far rs opening the refrig-
orator.

Prisoner Accused of Being Chief
of Nationwide Narcotic
Smuggling Ring

Elias Lorenzo, of 10 Catherine Slip
who is accused Of being the center OF
a drug smuggling ring and of having
agents in many cities, was arrested by
customs agents and detectives last
night at Fourteenth Street and Eighth
Avenue. Joseph Lopez, Of 1874 Pearl
Street, and Maurice Lorentino, of Al
Carroll Street, Brooklyn. who were
with him, also were arrested.
Morphine valued at $4,000 was seized
when the arrests were made, and the
three prisoners are charged with illegal
possession Of the drug. The greasy
exterior of the bottles seized led the
detectives to believe that they formed
part of shipment which had been
smuggled into this country in the en-
CINE room of steamship.
Lorenzo is regarded as n desperate
character by the police A detective
who was trailing him several months
ago is said to have been trailed himself
by seven friends Of Lorenzo, each of
them with pistol handy
Cosmo Ramalli, an agent of the Gus
toms ofticials, made an appointment
with Lorenzo for the Fourteenth Street
corner for the ostensible purpose, it is
phine from him. Ramalli kept the ap-
Quiglcy, and dozen or more detectives
were in the neighborhood. At Quig-
loy's signal they ran up and made the
arrest. They pretended also to place
Quigley and Ramalli under arrest, lest
some of Lorenzos followers might be
watching and take quick vengeance.
According to the police, Lorenzo has
regular clientele whom he trusts i'm
plicitly, while regarding all strangers
in the drug trade as fair game. The
police say they have learned Of numer-
Gus instances when Lorenzo. having
sold bill Of goods to some "outlander"

thugs after the unfortunate customer,
and they beat him and took his pur-
chases from him, returning them to

Late Travel to Europe
Is Heavier Than Normal

The tide of travel from this country
to Europe is continuing much later this
season, in contrast with former years
according to transatlantic steamship
companies. Advance bookings fol
eastbound steam ships leaving this port
in the course of the next two or three
weeks have been unusually large.
Many American tourists apparently
have postponed their vacations until
this month, when European resorts
are less crowded. In addition, they are
taking advantage of the fall and winter
rates, which have just gone into effect,
representing reduction of 10 per cent
on all fares
A feature of the present traffic is the
steady gain in the number of second
class passengers, the majority of whom
are booked for Hamburg According
to the passenger department of the
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
bookings for that port have increased
considerably within the last week or
two, and the probability is that heavy
volume of traffic will be maintained
for some time to come. The Orduna,
which sails next Saturday, has an un-
usually large passenger list.

Pencil Criticizes
Post Impressionist
Works as Rubbish
Arts, Says Vogue's Sponsors
Are ''Bunch of German
Business Sharps''; John
QuinnD Defends Exhibition

Differing opinions on the part of two
leading art opponents we're expressed
yesterday concerning the impressions
list and post-impressionist exhibition
of paintings at the Metropolitan MI
scum of Art, criticism of which was
made in recently circulated anony
nous letter They are views of Joseph
Pennell, artist and author, and John
Quinn, lawyer and art patron, who con-
list canvases to the museums exhibi-
ton.
Mr.. Pencil when seen last night de-
scribed the sponsors for the vogue of
the post-impressionist as bunch of
German business sharps and schemers'
who are responsible in a great meas
ure for spreading a harmful propa-
garxla, particularly SO to the younger
students of art.
Charges Destructive Influence
Referring to Cezanne and Matisse
and Picasso, among those mentioned
as having a destructive influence on
both art and life, Mr.. Pennell said that
had they been shown in Paris in COM
pany with pictures by men represent
ing sounder influences as here, the
latter undoubtedly would have de-
manded that their products be removed
from the exhibition. The very reason
that these pictures were hung by Mr.
certain standing, Mr.. Pennell said, that
otherwise should not have been
achieved.
bsh. They are just the fashion with
certain element. But, there is no
art in them" declared Mr.. Pennell of
, the men already mentioned. "Of
course, there are some pieces of un-
questionable merit in the show, q
whole wall of them, but it is tn others
to which I refer. Many of tn men l
never heard Of"
"My chief concern, however, is with
Pennel. THE type of modern art
represented by these men is the worst
thing with which they could come .n.o
contact. Instead of taking a. Rem
brandt or Michael Angelo as their
standard, they fall down at the feet Of
these men,"
John Quinn, of So Central Park West,
! who said his collection here and abroad
numbered q thousand canvases. and
who lent, among others, Please s
"W oman Dressing Her Hair" and
spanish Girl by Matlssc to the Mu-
scum exhibition, called the anonymous
letter in question "Ku Klux Khan art
criticism" He said: ~ am amazed
that any paper in New York would pub
lish such a screed as that which APP
peared in The Herald yesterday. The
anonymous libellers state that they
exempt from their criticism the works
of Puvis de Chavannes, Courbet and
Manet Every one knows that the same
imbecilities were hurled at the works
of Chavannes and Manet and Courbet
when they were producing, and that
they were attacked and abused by the
same sort of wranglers as those who
collaborate in this attack"
