MUCH OPPOSED

MEXICO CITY, Aug IA law
recently passed and promulgated in
the state Of Vera Cruz to permit
workmen to share in the profits OF

Germs and, after a careful audit,

1000 JOIN In PURSUIT
HomegOing Theatre Crowds
Follow Running Victim
and Policeman.
LOST MONEY RECOVERED
Four Men in Limousine Quick
ly Offer Bail, but Accused
Man Is Locked Up.

Alfrd Neville, retired member Of the
London Stock Exchange and about to
return to England after visit to this
city, felt a hand in his pocket as he
stood at the entrance to the Times
square subway station at 1880 last
night. The next moment he was
bumped violently, so violently that he
almost lost his balance. He turned,
grabbed at man beside him, and, as
the fellow started to run through
Forty-second street toward Seventh
avenue, shouted for help and followed.
Times square, packed with home
going theatre crowds, was in an up
roar in an instant. Mr.. Neville, Joined
by Policeman Joseph Brennan, led the
pursuit through Forty-second street.
The fugitive turned south on Seventh
avenue. Brennan, blowing his whistle
as a signal to a policeman on traffio
duty at Seventh avenue and Forty
first street, dashed after. By that time
more than 1000 persons were in the
chase.
Half way to Forty-frst street the man
stopped suddenly and tried to hide In q
doorway. AS Brennan ran up a man
walked leisurely into the street again,
adjusting his belt Brennan grabbed
him and put him under arrest, being
assisted by the traffic policeman.
At the West Forty seventh street eta
ton, where the man was locked up, he
described himself as Harry Moore. 25
years old, of 220 West Forty-ninth
street. The police said he also is known
as Harry Bessmoore and that he has
been under bail on a charge of grand
larceny.
The police had only time to book Moore
and send him upstairs to the detectives
Office to be fingerprinted when q big
limousine, containing four men, drove up
to the station. Three of the men intro
duced themselves as friends of the pris-
oner. They said they had the agent Of
surety company with them and that
thy wanted to provide bail for Moore.
Their offer was not accepted, but they
came back a second time in an effort to
release the man.
A search Of Moore's belt disclosed that
he had wedged 81 in bills between the
buckle and the leather. Mr.. Neville said
he had 81 In bills in the pocket In which
he felt the hand. The money was gone
when he looked for 1t.
Mr.. Neville has been living in the
Hotel Navarro. He will start for Eng
land to-day.

STILLMAN DEFENCE
ON TRAIL OF CLARA
Missing Show Girl and Mrs.
Leeds to Be Star Witnesses
for Bankers Wife.

The reason fo- the numerous delays
yesterday when John F. Brennan. coun-
sci in chief for Mrs. Anne Urquhart
Potter StiIlman. announced that Flor
ence Leeds and the mysterious CLARA"
would be star witnesses for the defence
when the hearings are resumed before
Referee Daniel ]. Gleason at Pough-
keepsie next Wednesday.
Mrs. Leeds and Clara are the
women named so far In Mrs. Stillman's
affirmative defence Of her husband s
suit for divorce. They have been In
hiding since their names were intro
duced. and the best efforts of the de-
fendant's lawyers and the newspapers
to locate them have been unsuccessful.
The fact that Mr.. Brennan expects
to put them on the stand as soon as ne
has finished with the cross examination
of James A. Stillman and the statement
made yesterday that there would be no
more delays was taken to mean that
the missing correspondents have been
found. Mr.. Brennan said last night he
did not know where they are. but IL
was reported that Mrs. Leeds Is In or
near New York, where she has been
seen from time to time in the company
Of Mr.. Stillman and that the other
woman Is in Duluth, MINI.
Mr.. Brennan was closeted all day with
Abel /. Smith of Stanchfield & Levy. and
at 8 o'clock John e. Mack. guardian OF
Baby Guy Stillman. Joined the confer-
ence. At o'clock they adjourned, and
Mr.. Brennan told the reporters nothing
new had developed.
Being an Off day the usual number OF
rumors were circulated. They were that
Mr.. Stillman would be named as CO.
respondent in another divorce suit that
Mr.. Stillman and Mrs. Leeds had been
seen at Southampton; that Clara had
been identified on the Rialto as a
Swedish masseuse." and the recurrent
report that the case would be settled
out of court
Counsel for plaintiff and defendant
denied these reports. Mr.. Brennan
characterized as rot" the story that
peel ing maid In the Newport villa or
a New York society woman would tes-
tify in the divorce action Of the woman's
husband that she had seen her mistress
In company with Mr.. Stillman.
The amended answer to Mr.. Stillman's
complaint was filed and accepted by
Justice Martin J. Keogh at New Ro-
chelle. Mrs. Stillman. It Is understood.
will be the directing head of her coun-
sci when the hearings ore resumed. 1t
was announced that she will attend IN
person Guy stillman will not be pres
ent.
Referee GLEASON was asked II he had
any objection to the hearings being
open to newspaper nen in order to pre-
vent one sided reports getting into print.
Hs said as far as he was concerned re-
porters could attend. and he thought
the court would not object but that II
rested with the opposing counsel.

The half dozen detectives who have
been trying to find out who hit the little
girls and robbed the stores assert that
their researches have disclosed that
Walsh organized his gang several
months ago, and as the members swore
allegiance he let them into the mys-
teries of the hangout, which was an old
hut at st. AIMS avenue and 18TH
street. and there, with a big pin and
coal dust, he tattooed cross on their
right arms. Young Bernstein. because
OF his excellent craftsmanship with
bricks and his skill in blunderbussing
the girls. was further tattooed with a
circle on his wrist.
The tattooing was done and the boys
went to work. Bernstein threw bricks.
the police say, through at least twenty
five stores. which the gang then emptied
of such goods as appealed to them. and
when he was resting from these labors
he tapped some fifty little girls with his
blunderbuss and watched his fellow
gang members take the change. Tho
proceeds of the Jobs" and tricks" as
young Walsh casually referred to the
operations in his conversations with the
police, were used for sightseeing expedi-
tions. After each successful affair Walsh
took his gang for bus ride, to tho
movies or to an ice cream parlor, where
deeds of villainy were discussed over
ice cream cones.
