Bandit Captured
In Ash Can After
Attack on Girl
Knocks Her Down, Seizes
Sl,138 Pay Roll; Drops
Into Cellar When Police
Pursuers OUTRAGE Him

Miss Sylvia Cohen, employed by the
mail order firm of Greenstein & Pelz,
of 80 Irving Place, had drawn her firms
$1,138 pay roll from the Garfield Ma
tional Bank, at 200 Fifth Avenue, and
was on her way back to the office early
yesterday afternoon when a man sud-
denly darted toward her from the side
walk curbing at Fourth Avenue and
Eighteenth Street.
He struck her several times with his
fists, and as she fell he grabbed an en-
velope from her hand which contained
the S1,138. Miss Cohen screamed, and
so did onlookers. The man started run
ming, and SO did Police Sergeant O'Brien
and Patrolman Fitzpatrick, both Of the
East Fifth Street station.
Sidewalk traffic was cleared for the
sergeant and patrolman as they chased
the fugitive east through Eighteenth
Street. At Third Avenue and Eighteenth
Street the man decided that he had
enough of the chase and plunged into
cellar. His pursuers plunged right
after him.
The bandit didn't stop on reaching
the cellar. He tore down another flight
of stairs into sub-cellar. The ser
Sc"hC anu pau ollldiI lOllOWeO, drew
their flashlights and began cropping
about in the narrow pit. AS they
CROPPED they struck all sorts of objects
with which the cellar was cluttered, and
it seemed that the place contained
everything save Miss Cohen's assailant
and the $1,100.
They were about convinced that their
man had eluded them, when an ash can
moved slightly: They bounced upon
the can and knocked it over Out
rolled the fugitive and with him came
several layers of ashes and the pay
roll envelope. He continued to roll
for several minutes and O'Bricn and
Fitzpatrick rolled right after him.
In a corner they subdued him and
the three ascended to daylight and
Eighteenth Street, their clothing Civ
ing proof Of the rough and tumble
fight on the sub-cellar floor.
O'Brien and Fitzpatrick took their
prisoner to the East Fifth Street sta
ton, whore he said he was Joseph
Stein, twenty nine years old, of 1O8
East Hath Street. He said he was out
of work. He was later locked up at
Police Headquarters on charge Of
robbery.
The police say that Stein was ar
raigned in jefferson Market Court in
September on charge of burglary and
later was released in $40 900 bail Miss
Cohen was not seriously hurt. Two
watches, $500 in currency and a re-
volver were found in Stems posses
sion when he was searched.

State Dry Act
Repeal Urged
By Grand Jury
Bronx Panel Declares the
Mullan-Cage Law Has
Led to Acts of Unprece-
dented Violence in City
Police Force Commended
Failure of Federal Govern
ment to Enforce Prohibi-
ton Here Held a Puzzle

The Bronx Grand Jury, in a present
rnent handed up yesterday to Supreme
Court Justice James O'Malley, recon-
mended the Immediate repeal OF the
Mullan- Gage enforcement act. The pre-
sentiment, which states that "acts of
unprecedented violence" have resulted
from the passage of the Mullan- Gage
law by the Legislature, praises the po
lice force of the city for its work in
enforcing the law and scores the Fed
eral administration for placing the
burden of prohibition enforcement on
the municipal authorities.
Police Commissioner Richard E. En-
right and Acting State Prohi bition Di-
rector f. c. Yellowley were among wit
nesses who appeared before the grand
jury IN its examination into the en-
forcement of the prohibition laws by
Federal and city officials.
Bands of men akin to pirates are
robbing each other and are breaking
into the homes of respectable people to
carry away what liquor they can con-
hscate,' the presentment states.
Praise for Police Department
1t then continues, in part: 1--WE de-
plore the necessity for the assignment
of trained police officers to this waste

The Federal government or the state
EoNcI IIueIt cuOulu assume inc DQrQenS
they have now turned over to the police
of the city Of New York. Under all the
circumstances this grand jury is salts
fed that the Police Department Of the
city Of New York has wisely and skill
fully administered its duties under this
harsh and undesirable statute.
Prom the evidence presented to this
body we are brought to the conclusion
that the repeal of the prohibition act
by the state Legislature would be a
