Detectives Lose
Captive as They
Seek Evidence
Australia Phil Wlaks Out of
West Both Street Station
as Police Confer on His
Alleged Depredations
Was Taken i'm Chase
Accused as Burglar, Prisoner
Was Believed to- Have
Committed Many Grimes

Just when the police had made Up
their minds that their troubles with
Geore w. McCraig. Of Australia. and
the Herald Square Hotel, were over for
the evening, the gentleman in ques-
ton, quite disregarding the fact that
he was under arrest for burglary. made
a clean get away from the Fest Thir-
tieth Street Police Station last night
The detectives there had been Sc
cheered by his arrest that they had
summoned all the hotel detectives
they could find to look over the pris-
oner and clear up a few mysteries
But when they looked in on the con-
ference a few minutes later, they
found that the house sleuths had de-
them any tips, and that the prisoner
had departed by the window few
seconds later, putting the new case
back on their hands.
Sliding down a telephone wire to the
court McCraig, who is said to be better
known as Austria Phil sneaked
around by the wall into an alley,
walked out to Thirtieth Street and
there the trail ended. He escaped about
II o'clock. just when the street outside
the station was filled with patrolmen
coming in for the late platoon.
Australia Pills" earlier exploints
last night We're staged in the Herald
Square Hotel. where he registered Mon
day. Detected in what was apparently
his first venture, an attempt to get into
a room not his own, he laughed the
trouble off by explaining he was intox-
icated and had mistaken the door. But
when Room 206 was found topsy-turvy
an hour later and a rope of sheets
was seen running from Room 205 to
mcCraig's own room on the floor below
the Volstead law gag fell fiat.
The suspect, sizing up the situation,
promptly took to his heels, pursued by
the elevator boy, the manager, the
house detective. and, at safer dis
lance, by all the gusets who were in
rooms on his corridor. He eventually
succumbed to superior numbers and
was locked up and fngerprinted.
Not satisfied with having the thefts
at the Herald Square cleared up, the
West Thirtieth Street plain clothes
men sent for all the hotel detectives in
the Thirties and Forties, on the chance
that the prisoner might be linked with
other robheries. They left McCraig
alone with the private sleuths during
the examination, at the close of which
he found himself alone and made his
escape,

ObregoD Signing
Debt Agreement
Relieves Bankers
Disposes of Rumors That
Action Was Being Delhi
erately Held Up; Mexican
Bonds Continue Inactive

Formal notification of the signature
by President Oregon of the agree
ment as to the Mexican debt negotiated
in this city in June by Adofo de la
Huerts, Mexican Minister of Finance,
and the international committee of
bankers was received yesterday morn
ing both by the Mexican Financial
Agency and by the committee. The
message from Senior de, la Huerta to
Thomas w. Lamort, chairman of the
nation that the agreement was being
submitted to the Mexican Congress for
it's action in due course.
No details of the agreement beyond
those contained in the skeleton sum-
mary issued following it's signing on
June 16 we're available yesterday, and
it is as yet undetermined when the text
or more comprehensive outline will
be given to the public. The Mexican
Congress is scheduled to meet on Sep
TENDER /, and as early ratification by it.
is anticipated the Obregon Administra-
ton and the committee may await this
step before releasing the full terms,
particularly as interest in financial
matters is seasonally slack.
No final decision has been reached
as to when bondholders will be asked
to deposit their securities under the
plan, but the present outlook favors a
similar postponement of this call.
Measurable relief was noted in bank
ing circles over President Obregon's ac-
ton, as it finally disposed of the many
rumors lately current that approval of
the agreement was being deliberately
held up as a political move. His ratif>
cation of the plan is regarded as an i'm
portant step toward recognition of his
administration by the United States
although it is appreciated that several
other major points of disagreement re-
main to be cleared up.
Mexican government bonds gistered
little response to the announcement of
the signature of the debt agreement
They continued inactive, the 5s of 1916
gaining | p points on light turnover
and the as of 1854 closing unchanged
The apathetic reception Of the news
was attributable partly to its having
been discounted in advance, but more
especially to the mood of the season.

Mexican People Approve

MEXICO CITY, Aug. (By The As
socIated Press).-The satisfaction with
which the Mexican people have re-
celved President Obregon's ratification
of the financial agreement recently
negotiated by Secretary Of the Treas
ury de la Huerta in New York was re-
hected in the Mexico City press to-
day,
There was much editorial specula-
ton, however relative to the attitude
of the Mexican Congress. and in this
respect there was less optimism, since
President Obregon's control over the
Forthcoming Chamber of Deputies is
still matter of conjecture.
