By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., December 13.
The first suspect arrested in con-
nection with New York's $2,000.-
900 mail robbery October "a yester-
day was held in $4,000 bail for a
hearing next Monday. In default of
bail he was sent to the Essex county
Jail in Newark.
The suspect was Frank Calabrise.
a Hoboken taxi driver, whose arrest
on suspicion more than a month ago
did not become known until the coun-
ty authorities pressed federal agents
for prosecution, with the implied
warning that the suspect might be
turned loose otherwise.
Consequently Calabrise was hailed
before United States Commissioner
Queen. The complaint. made by Pos
tai Inspector Joseph S. Wick of New
York. charged Calabrise with steal
ing four pouches of registered mail
from a mail truck being driven along
lower Broadway by Frank Haver-
neck.
According to the postal authorities
Haverneck identified the suspect in
the lineup after he had put on a pair
of glasses. Calabrise protested his
tablish an alibi.
Postal inspectors have been work
ing necessarily on the case. which so
aroused Postmaster General Hays
that he started an investigation that
later led to marines being detailed to
guard the mails.
Calabrise was picked up in Jersey
City on November 2 by the police on
suspicion.
The postal authorities sought to
keep the arrest secret lest other
trails be lost. 1t was learned that
they had received an anonymous let
ter purporting to connect Calabrise
with the crime and that they had
grilled two women of his acquaint-
ance. These women later were exon
Grated of any connection with the
crime.

cadets ADVISED
TOSTUDY FARLEY
Lieut.. Col. Craigie Points Out
Significance of Confer
ence to Them.
STAR SUMMARY VALUABLE
Military Science Professor Points
Out Completeness of Press
Reports.

Members OF the Washington High
School Cadet Corps were advised to-
day by Lieut.. Col. Wallace NJ. Craigie.
U. s. A.. professor of military science
and tactics in the high schools, to
study carefully the significance of the
Id velopments at the international con-
ference on the limitation Of armament.
By studying the conference proceed
ings Col. Craigie believes the cadets
will gradually lose any militarlstIc
idea they may have conceived. He
characterized the "militaristic idea"
as deadly.
Col. Craigie pointed out that the
study of the arms conference events
should not be confined to members OF
the cadet corps. In his opinion, the
epoch -making developments at the
parley should be imbued in the minds
of all school children.
Press Reports Complete.
Attention was called by Col. Craigie
to the completeness of the press re-
ports on the conference. In this con-
nection, he said, the school children
can obtain all the necessary informa-
ton for an intelligent discussion of
the conference proceedings from the
Washington newspapers, the reports
in which he desert bed as remarkable.
Ari angements for regular and
general plan of procedure for study
ing of the armament conference
events by the students of Eastern
High School are being mapped out
today by Principal Charles Hart and
the members of the faculty. Mr..
Hart said that he had three or four
plans under consideration.
One of these plans calls for two
minute speech each week by students
in the history classes of the progress
of the arms parley and its siGnifi-
cance 1t is understood that this is
the plan most favored and probably
will be adopted.
1t was pointed out that when the
students are aware of the fact that
they are to face their class and de-
liver an intelligent speech on the
conference proceedings they likely
will take more interest in closely
| following the developments from day
| to day as chronicled in the newspa-
pers Only by stimulating the inter
est of the students in the parley. it
was said. can school officials hope
i for the best results in impressing
upon the children the fundamental
| educational value of the conference.
| Mr. Hart indicated that the sum
| mary of the conference proceedings
| printed in The Star is invaluable to
| students and the general public in
| keeping in close touch with the de-
| velopments.
