A rumor about the starring Of
David Wartield in "The Merchant of
Venice" has been heard annually for
years, but there now appears to be
some ground for the belief that Mr..
Warfeld's long-waited portrayal Of
Shylock will actually reach the stage
next season. At all events he is car
rying around copy of the play these
days and is unquestionably studying
the role. Moreover he has discussed
the characterization with friends.
Hopeful signs.
When 500 New York. Chinese
marched to the city hall the other day
in celebration of the re-inauguration
Of Sun Vat Set as president Of China,
there could be little remaining doubt
that the days of the old-time China
town were past. Gone was the baggy
blouse, vanished as completely as the
CARRIED every marcher; brightly dec
Grated limousines had no small place
in the line; when "The Star Spangled
Banner" was played, the marchers'
hats came off even more promptly
than did those Of many American on
lockers; and to cap the American at
mosphere completely, when the city
hall was reached the whole 500 group
ed themselves on the steps for the
benefit Of the photographers.
"Silver Threads Among the Go-old"
tinkled above the subway roar on a
Broadway train the other day. Pas
sengers put down their papers and
craned their necks around those who
were standing on their toes, in an in
terested effort to solve the source of
the tune. Down at one end of the car
an old man held a small monograph
on his knees. He was putting on an
other record when the guard spoke
to him. whats the idea? You been
initiated into something?" The old
man smiled serenely. "Just passing
the time. No law against it, is there?"
The guard couldn't think of any, but
he looked worried as he went back to
his post.

New York, Nay 17.-There seems
no limit or definition to the sort of
things people will steal It's whole
psychology in itself. The making
away with the Anne Hutchinson mem
orial tablet the other day was one of
the most perplexing demonstrations
OF this Fact that I've known in long
time. The large bronze tablet, erect
ed IT. Pelham Bay park, to the mem
ory# of this second white woman to
lnp abit this section doesn't fall into
ar y ordinary category of crime. The
laughter of American Danes had in
iscribed the memorial, canine Hutchin-
son, banished from the Massachusetts,
Colony 1888 because of her devotion
to religious liberty. This courageous
woman sought freedom from persecu-
ton in New Netherlands. Near this
rock in 1643 she and her household
were massacred by the Indians" And
now the tablet is gone; just pried
loose from the rock to which it was
spiked and taken away. What DOES
a burglar do with memorial to re-
ligious devotion?

endorsement of private ship owners
to the same settlement.

val of the agreement was expected to
be withheld until the arrival of Com
missioners O'Connor and Lissner, the
remaining two members of the new
board who are scheduled to be sworn

Chairman Lasker refused tonight
to comment on a telegram from the
American Ship Owners Association
protesting against the signing of the
settlement with the marine engi-
neers.

Big Tim Is Locked In
Jail in Default of
100000 Bond
GOT Off WITH S350,OOO
Engineered Hold up At
Dearborn Street Sta
ton in April
by Associated PressD

Chicago, June l4.-Timothy D..
(Big Tim) Murphy, labor leader and
former member of the legislature,
who was named in two alleged con-
fessions today as the leader of the
$35O,OOO Dearborn Station mail rob
berry, April 6, was held in Jail to-
night in default of 100000 bond.
Vincenzo Cosmano, Murphy's lieu
tenant, also was held in bond, hav-
ing been fixed at $4,000, which he
was unable to furnish. The two were
sent 20 different jails, Murphy be-
/ ing held at Joliet and Cosmano at
Waukegan.
Others being held by the police
were Edward Geirun, Murphy's
chauffer, Peter and Frank Guesen-
burg, both indicted for the robbery,
George W. Hecker, mail clerk, Ralph
Teter, former government clerk, and
Paul Bolanti, a grocer.
At least eleven other arrests were
expected soon, according to postal
inspectors.
Murphy, it was said, took no part
in the actual robbery, but watched
his alleged companions hold up the
mail and then flee in an automobile.
Murphy was said to have paid Teter
$100 before the robbery and $700
afterward. Murphy and Cosano, it
was asserted, received the greater
part of the loot, the rest being split
$4,000 in bonds and $1,000 in cash
to each man.
A search of the home of Murphy's
father-in-law, William Diggs, by the
postal inspectors, is said to have dis
closed $9S,OOO in liberty bonds and
$14,3O0 in cash. Murphy's arrest is
said to have been due to Teter's con-
fession, who admitted that he receiv-
ed $1,000 as his part of the swag.
Inspectors announced that Murphy
had confessed his part in the rob
berry. Cosmano, who is held at Wau-
kegan, was indicted with Murphy
for the 100000 Pullman robbery,
last fall. He was arrested at Murphy's
office.
