morning on the "plea" Of his fox ter
rier, "Jup," who assumed the role Of

Cup" ran into the police station
highly excited at o'clock this morning.
Immediately he found his way to the
cellroom, where there was joyous re.
union.
When Hendrick was called for hear
ing, "Jup" presented himself also.
That's quite an attorney you have, .,
remarked the magistrate. Lets hear
his case"
"Jup'' seemed to be waiting the op.
portunity and needed no second invita-.
ton. First he stood up on his hind
feet. Seeing that that pleased the
Judge" the terrier walked around
circle on his forepaws, and then to
clinch his case turned a somersault. He
wound up his special pleading with
few bnrks and then sat back and eyed
the court expectantly. 81
His efforts were not in vain.
"You win the case," said the magis-
trate. 81 discharge your master and
advise him to put you in school of law
at once"
"Jup" left the station house tri-
umphantly. bouncing through loop

FATHER, TWO SONS
FIGHT EXTRACTION
Irwin, Vincent and Bernard
Whitman. W. Phila., Nabbed
in Alleged Movie Fraud

A legal battle began today for the
eXtradition from New York Of father
and two sons. promoters of Il motion
picture corporation in which Philadel-
phians invested heavily.
The prisoners are Irwin r. Whitman
sixty years old. 3737 Locust street and
his two sons. Vincent. thirty years old
and Bernard. twenty eight. camera
man, whose easy spending made them
conspicuous figures in the night life
here and in New York.
The father and sons were organizers
Of the Animation Studio of America
Inc. and they said they held patcn,
rights which would rcvolutionize the
"shootiug' of films.

swore out n warrant for the men. said
they sold from 500. 900 to S2O0. 900 OF
stock in this city and elsewhere. Most
of the investors in Philadelphia. he
said. are widows who gave all thcil
savings in return for stock.
Detective George Gibson. of the City
Hall staff. captured the accused men in
New York City last night. He had
been there since Saturday trying to To-
cate them at one OF the forty addresses

Gibson learned that Vincent Whit
man had an cngaEt ment at Broadway
club yesterday. He arrested him there
on a warrant charging larceny and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The detective accompanied the
Younger Whitman to an apartment on
Fifty-siXth street near Broadway.
There the young man insisted, accord
ing to Gibson. that he alone was re-.
sponsiblc and that his father and
brother had no part in the exploitation
Of stock.
Vincent insisted his father was in
Canada. according to Gibson. but as the
young man was gathering some of his
effects the father walked into the apart
ment. Bernard Whitman was arrested
later.
"Philadelphians Too Slow
Il am through with Philadelphia.
and we are going to fight extradition, -
Gibson quoted Vincent as declaring.
Philadelphians were too slow to
recognize great opportunity he went
on. "Our corporation has patents
which will revolution!ze the motion pic :
ture business.
According to Mr.. Eyre. his investi-
CATION shows that the most important
patent claimed by the three men Is an
infringement. They represented. he
said, that their secret processes could
shoot" scenes In any part of the world
and could incorporate in the pictures
actors and actresses appearing else
where.
Another claim advanced by the three
men, said Mr.. Eyre, is that their
process could make animated cartoons
without using thousands Of little draw :
ings.
The Whitmans not only sold stock
in the corporation but also sold their
patent rights over and over again,
according to Mr.. Eyre.
His Investigations. the lawyer con :
tinued, showed that the sons We're noted
