Police Call Time, Seize Flask
In Pollok-Bolles Verbal Bout

Harry Pollok, who parts his name in
the middle now and has his cards en-
graved III. Morgan Pollok" put his
foot in it last night. In fact, unless
John A. Bolles, Republican leader in
the Washington Heights district, is ex-
tremely liberal in his viewpoint and
a vegetarian besides, there is reason
to believe that the former fight pro-
moter imperiled the ear which Freddie
Welsh didn't bite off last year.
The trouble started at Broadway and
10th Street ut about 9 o'clock, where
Pollok and Bolles were disputing as 70
which was best fitted to drive an en-
pensivc touring car that stood at the
curb. Their debate attracted so much
attention that Patrolman Carroll, who
was on traffic duty at the corner,
stepped over to see what was up.
Pollok told him that there was no
trouble at all--he just hadn't been able
to convince his friend Bolles yet that
he was the better driver. The trouble
was he. had broken his left wrist re-
Gently arguing with somebody and
having that arm in a sling impaired
his eloquence. Bolles, according to
the pntrolman, was far less suave.
"Im. Republican leader up here
Carroll quoted Bolles as saying, $50
run along little man and sell your pa-
pers. We can settle this matter"
Carroll happens to be the kind of
policeman who won't take dare. He
called a patrol wagon. into which Mr.
Bolles fitted quite neatly and started
him toward the West Tooth Street

Arthur B. Murtha, a close friend OF

Secretary of States chief assistant in

Lyons said representatives of each OF
the five boroughs were to have places

behind in a taXicab, chartered for the
occasion, while a patroman brought
up the 'ear of the procession, driving
the expensive touring car that had been
the center of the dispute
While Bolles was being booked on

"There's a Grip in it that has valuab les

We'll take it out and give YOU a

and before Pollok could say another
word the grip had been brought in and
opened and bottle Of Scotch whisky

"Did you say this-er-er valuable was
yours, Mr.. Pollok" asked Sergeant
Stillman courteously but significantly

New Yorker, Indifferent to Tales of Slain Germans
Hidden Gold, Says He Makes Enough Money;
Anyway, U. S. Would Seize 80 Per Cent of Hoard

In great excitement the man reported
his find to his employer
Mr. Robischon, hoping that the man
might have discovered fox hole, took
the morning off from his office, loaded
his shotgun, and investigated When
he had gone far enough in opening up
the mouth of the cavern to assure him
self that it was not made by fox, his
interest died. He ordered the gardener
to seal up the place and say nothing
about it.
1t is believed that some one heard
Mr.. Robischon speak about the potert
tial find when he talked with his pa, t.
ner over the telephone. At any rate
the news spread over the town 'iike
wildfire. Mr.. Robischon's place sud
denly became a mecca for all the peo

about the find or to show it to. any
body Finally he was forced to nut ou'
the guard to protect his properly.

From a Staff Correspomdcnt

CALDWELL, N. j., Aug. 2o.-Only
one person in this city is not afflicted
with gold fever tonight. He is r. w.
Robischon, on whose property a hidden
treasure is believed to have been To-
Gated, and he can be put on record as
the only known person who isn't inter-
ested in buried treasure, and who has
the strength of will not to look into
the recently discovered cave in his
yard to see if the riches in question
are there.
Instead, Mr.. Robischon has ordered
the cavern sealed, and has put out a
watchman with two German police
dogs to see that his property isn't
stampeded by gold seekers.
Mr.. Robischon, who is New York
hosiery and underwear manufacturer,
now owns and passes his summers in
the former home of Nine. Schumann-
Heink, where William Basthorn, Ger
man reserve officer. is declared to have
buried $4,000 gold previous to his
murder by Japanese in California in
1917.
The cave where the gold is believed
to be cached was discovered by &C.
cident three days ago by a gardener
who was telling trees on the property.

Belief Is Worry Over Loss
of Two Daughters Weak
ened Health of Victim

The Cunarder Aquitania, with 655
saloon passengers, arrived at her pier
late yesterday after fourteen-hour
delay at Quarantine, the cause being
the discovery of typhus victim in her
second cabin. All day health officers of
the United States immigration Service
pursued their Investigations, and when
the yellow flag. of quarantine was
hauled down after o'clock one middle
aged Russian woman with an incipient
typhus case and sixty-fve others who
possibly had been exposed to an attack
of the disease through contact with the
sufferer were on their way to Hoffman
Island to be quarantined for ten davs.
Few first cabin passengers had
learned the cause of the delay when
they left the ship, and, owing to the
rigidity of the inspection in the second
cabin, there was little aunrehension
among those Of this class who were
passed
Discovered Accidentally
The typhus case was discovered by
accident, it was learned, and the story
concerning the patient is one of ex-
treme pathos. With her two small chill
dren, said by passengers to have been
girls about eight and ten years of age.
Mrs. Bertha Zelzer, formerly wcll-to- do
Russian woman, took passage for Amer
ica at Cherbourg. Three days ago, it
was said, she suffered a nervous break
down and was taken to the ships hos
pital, where she was looked after by DIR.

When health officers boarded the vessel
yesterday they made blood test which
is said to have revealed evidence of
typhus.
The Aquitania arrived at Quarantine
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. She
9 o'clock, but the health inspectors,
upon finding the woman patient, ordered
an exhaustive investigation.
There were many celebrities on
board and in the two upper cabins
close to 1,400 passengers. There was
constant fuming over the delay, but
this failed to deter the health off,
GERS, who for months have been taking
special precautions against disease
getting foothold here.
Broodcd Over Bereavement
The story told by one of the ships
officers concerning the woman patient
was that she is Russian refugee com
ing to join her husband in Philadel-
phia. Before she left Russia several
months ago two daughters, fifteen and
eighteen years Of age, were killed by
Bolsheviki, she said. Since she
boarded the vessel she had been OBJ
served constantly in q disturbed state
of mind, and it was learned that she
broodcd over the death Of her daugh-
ters. This, it was said, led to her
breakdown.
1t was said aboard the ship that only
one possible case of typhus had been
found, and that the other sixty-five
persons were taken to the detention
hospital at Hoffman Island merely as
precaution, as these had been quar-
tered in Section +, where the patient
slept.

Police Are Mobilizing
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 90
Fifteen hundred coal miners from the
Lens Creek, Cabin Creek and Paint
Creek regions are camped tonight in
a narrow valley at Marmet, eight miles
east of here. Augmented by about 500
others from Little Coal River, they
declared they will start tomorrow for
Mingo County, by the way of Logan
County, to force unionization of the
open shop coal mines.
Newspapermen who visited the camp
this afternoon estimated at least 700
Of the men were armed Most of these
had rifles and shotguns and others
carried side arms. The two newspaper
men who went to Marmet were escorted
back to Charleston by six miners armed
with rifles, who came as far as Kama
wha City with them. AS soon as they
were forced to leave the valley a band
of 100 men, armed with rifles, sur
rounded the camp to prevent outsiders
from intruding.
State Trooper Shot
Lehman Martin, state trooper
probably was fatally wounded when
shot from ambush at Edwight. near
Marmet, this afternoon. He was watch
ing movements of hundred armed
men who we're Ell route to Marmet
when he was shot in the back.
Crazed by moonshine whisky which
he purchased from the miners, a
Charleston man tonight killed his wife
by shooting her through the head.
State police are mobilizing at head
quarters here and preparing to inter
cept the marching miners tomorrow
when they start on their eighty mile
The troopers will adopt the hands-otf

Cornwell and Frank Keeney, president
of District II, United Mine Workers.
Non-Union Field
Logan County is a non-union field.
Idleness there is about 10 per cent,
compared with 40 per cent in the
Kanawha field. Union miners in
Boone County, adjoining Kanawha on
lHe SOuCn, anu III Logan county, just
south of Boone, already have taken
matters into their own hands and have
detailed guards to patrol the roads.
Deputies are occupying one side of
a divide beyond Sharples, between Coal
River and the Logan fields, and miners
are on the other side. The territory
in between is no mans land.
Some Of the miners, carrying rifles
and doing patrol duty near Sharples,
have stopped all traffic on the county
highways.
Night patrols have been established
for distance of seventeen miles be-
yond Danvillc by miners and their
representatives. A system of trenches
and barricades has been built near
MiHlin, Boone County, where Mtflin
Hollow debouchcs into the county
road.
The object of the armed patrols and
the fortifcations is to prevent the
entry of state police and deputy

Officially, the miners union has
washed its hands of the entire affair.""
