Thieves broke into the apartment OF
William n. Fleischmann on the fourth
floor of the apartment house at ESQ
West Eighty-eighth street Wednesday

Of Iewelry. But far. Ear worse than that
they took with them four choice tickets
for the Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
With a few trifling exceptions. Mr.
Fleischmann said. the thieves showed
excellent Judgment in the selection or
loot. One of tho exceptions was solid
silver flask Mr.. Fleischmann's brother.

him at the time, and Wednesday Mrs.

NEW MOVE HINTED
in STILLMAN CASE
Counsel for Bankers Wife and
Son in Long and Myster-
iOus Conference.
STATEMENT is PROMISED
Additional Affidavits and New
Witnesses May Appear, 1t
Is Suggested.
STATEMENT Is PROMISED

A conference that was characterized
by those participating as one OF the
most important in the course Of the Still
man divorce action kept George w.
wickersham, George Coggill and John
Z. Mack, and later John b. Stanchfleld
together yesterday from 10 in the morn
ing until o'clock last night. All OF
them, with the exception OF Mr.. Mack,
who is guardian ad litem for Guy Still
man, are enlisted in the legal forces de-
Tending Mrs. Stillman. Messrs. wicker
sham, Coggill and Mack were in almost
continuous session all day. Mr.. Stanch-
field did not join 1t until he was re-
leased from other duties that kept MN
in court.
Mr. Mack agreed that the conference
was one of the most vital held thus far.
1T was announced that IL Is not unlikely
that a statement of primary Importance
to those concerned in the case might be
made either to-day or tomorrow. But
it was not possible last night TO get SO
much as an authoritative hint as 10 tne
nature of the promised edict.
There was a rumor. however. that one
of the objects of the conference was
caused by the alleged bitterness between
one Of the law firms representing Mr..
Stillnan and one of the firms OF Mrs
Stillman's counsel. II was said that "
a part of Mrs. Stillman's counsel agreed
to withdraw from the case compromise
might easily be made. That theory Is
given credence in view of the report that
an agreement was about to be made un-
der which Mr.. Stillman was to pay MS
wife $50. 900 year and at the same time
recognize the legitimacy of the baby
Guy. At about this time. however, an
other law firm Joined Mrs. Stillman
counsel and declared Immediately that
the demands were not near high enough
that Stillman should be made to pay
s15O,0O0. Stillman and his counsel then
announced their intention of fighting IL
out.
Lawyers participating in the confer
ence denied that 1t had to do with
possible settlement of the case out OF
court One of Mrs. Stillman's attor-
news declared that such settlement was
a possibility of the most remote order.
They declared that II had nothing to
do with Florence Lawlor Leeds. the
chorus girl, named by Mrs. Stillman.
Moreover, they denied that II concerned
James Brown Potter. father OF Mrs.
Stillman They declared that Mr.. Pot
ter had not 80 much as limited that ne
would seek to interfere in the case.
But they would not deny the possi-
bility Of the conference having to do
with the filing Of additional affidavits
by Mrs. Stillman---the naming of an
other woman and the appearance of new
witnesses ia her behalf. The conference
was made significant by the fact. that
1t was the first time that Mr. Wicker
sham had taken active part in the case
since the actual court procedure began.

MEAL IS BETTER THAN
WORLD TRIP TO 2 BOYS
RunaUays From Asylum
Caught by WoodhaUen Cop.

An ordinary square meal in lieu of
trip around the world was accepted
Instantly yesterday by Dominick Frisina
and Frank Gordon, each IL years old. of
Jamaica. Queens, when policeman met
them in Woodhaven and directed them
to tell about themselves.
One of them hung his head and began
shifting his feet. but the other said right
away:
IF you lead us to something to eat
you can do anything you like TO u.s..
They then explained that they had run
away from the Juvenile Asylum in West
chester county with a notion OF shipping
In South Brooklyn as cabin boys and
seeing the world but upon arriving at
the Brooklyn water front they discovered
there are more ships lying at wharves
than sail the seas these days. and that
boys applying for cabin berths are asked
many personal questions. From Brook
lyn they set out on foot for Jamaica,
but the law overhauled them at Wood
haven.
At the police station where they We're
fed ultimately they declared that a single
full meal was more desirable than all
the sea trips in the world. Late in the
afternoon an attendant from the Juvenile
Asylum came for them and they went
back with him.

OWNERS PROTEST SALE
Counsel Maintains Amounts
Demanded for Franchise
Levy Too Great.
CITY NAY OPERATE THEM
Control Expected TO Give
Mayor Vantage Point in Fight
on Transit Commission.

Thomas r. McAndrews. Collector OF
Assessments and Arrears. acting for
the city bought yesterday at public
sale franchise tax liens on nineteen
trolley lines of the New York Railways
Company and the Third Avenue Rail
way System, including the majority Of
the surface lines in Manhattan. The
liens represent arrears OF Sl,S2S,50s
and were bought at the maximum in
terest rate of IL per cent.
The city has bought similar liens
for number of years past, but never
has foreclosed. There is speculation
concerning what disposition the city
may make Of the liens this year under
changed conditions.
A foreclosure would place the lines in
the hands OF the city and be in accord
with the recent tendency of the Hylan
administration, as exemplif1ed In the
Midland OF Staten Island and the Will
iamsburg Bridge line, to undertake rfiu-
nicipal operation. Such procedure also
would bring the Mayor a step nearer
his pet scheme of tearing up the tracks
OF q large number of lines and operating
No statement of attitude was forth
coming yesterday from the city admins
tration. The recent efforts of the troll
ley companies to force Comptroller
Charles l.. Craig to refund overpayment
of taxes without taking into considera-
tion taxes still owed by the lines to the
city, 1t is known. have not inspired in
the Comptroller disposition to give the
lines great deal of additional time to
straighten out their arrears, and 1t Is
possible the Finance Department might
view foreclosure as a solution to the SIT
uation. Control OF the trolley lines by
the city also would afford a vantage
point from which to conduct the Mayors
light against the Transit Commission.
Both companies made vigorous protest
Yesterday against the sale of the lines.
but without avail. p. w. Rane, attor-
ney for the New York Railways Com
pnny. and Alfred ID. Davis, attorney for
the Third avenue system, contended that
the sale was illegal and that the amounts
demanded were more than were due.

MAYOR TO REFORM
GREENWICH VILLAGE
Hylan Promises Indignant
Citizens to Remedy Conditions
of Which They Complain.

Mayor Hylan was invited yesterday
to visit Greenwich Village some night
instead of going home to the Bushwick
section of Brooklyn.
The invitation was extended at City
Hall by group of indignant citizens
who described themselves as residents
Of that part of the old Ninth ward now
prominently featured as Greenwich VII
lage." The Mayor was invited to the
village, not to enjoy himself discussing
art at the Dingy Dinosaur between
dances but to see for himself the So
called "orgies" now going on in various
cellars throughout the place.
Michael J. Horan, one of the members
OF the committee, made it plain that
Greenwich Village is no longer to be
taken lightly. as the comic section Of
the city. The dance halls are real
menace to the morals and health of all
who visit the place, he insisted. Things
are done by young me-. and young
women behind the cloak of horn trimmed
spectacles and bobbed hair that wouldn't {
be tolerated anywhere else in the city.
1t is time, he declared. to quit treating
Greenwich Villagers, anG particularly
keepers of dance halls as harmless
cranks. There is method in their mad
ness. and money. too.
The Mayor did not accept the invita-
tion to look over the village, but neither
did he decline it. II shall take this mat
ter up Immediately. and give it my per-
sonal attention." he said. II will do all
In my power to remedy conditions Give
me one week on the matter and return
and report how things are progressing.
Those in the committee included
Sheriff David Fl. Knott, Father Joseph
Breslin Of st. Joseph's Church, Sixth
avenue and Washington place; Mrs.
Rose Levy. second in command of the
Wome1's Police Reserve Corps, and Mrs.
Louis Sherwin of 13 Eighth street.
After the hearing Mr.. Horan asserted
that his efforts to settle the dance hafls
by appealing to the Fire. Building. Tene-
ment House, Health and other depart
ments against violations of law had
failed, as the departments kept pass
ing the buck" from one to the other.
1T is getting so that old residents of
the section are moving out of the city to
protect their young people from con-
tamination," he said. "The place Is no
longer safe.
