experience to locate him, but the Green
Caps aren't afraid Of "Information.' -
They got Friend Husband on the tele-
phone and he promised to dash right
over.
That was the way things went all
day yesterday. the first in the career
of the Green Caps. Twelve were on
duty on the floor, at the train gates
under the clock and at other points of
vantage. These were connected with
the main office on the Vanderbilt Ave
nue. side, with two runners, who made
the rounds every few minutes collect
ing the messages to and from worried
travellers. They wear gray uniforms
with green caps and green omblems.
The Green Cap accepts written mes
sages from the traveller. They may be
telephoned to an address he gives or
they may be left at the booth to be
sailed for. Ten cents an errand is
charged, plus the cost of the telephone
message. A registration service is also
on the Green Caps program. A buyer
arriving in New York from Chicago
may leave word at the message service
where he can be located, and kilograms
and letters sent to him there will be
forwarded.

Teacher
Wrote That She
Feared Greasy
Miss Lavoy's Note to Utica
Friend Said Billy From
Kentucky Vowed to Live
With Me or Die With Me-
Worried Only for Mother
Refused to Marry Without
Love, She Declared, and
So Told Him the Truth

Elvin N. Edwards, Assistant District
Attorney of Nassau County, made pub
lie yesterday letter written by Edith
Lavoy. the school teacher who was shot
and killed June 20 in Frecport, which
shows, he believes, that Miss Lavoy
feared that the presence of William
Greasy, the man now charged with her
murder. in Freeport was menace to
her
In the letter, which was addressed to
Dan l.. Sherman, of 1146 Leeds Street,
Utica, N Y, and sent by special de-
livery, Miss Lavoy said that BILLY
from Kentucky" was in Freeport with
the avowed purpose of living with her
or dying with her. The letter follows:
Dear Dan: With pencil. stationery,
etc, ! am in a hurry and, worse still,
greatly upset. Why pick on you at
these times do not know. At any
rate, here goes. Had wonderful week
end. but after sunshine always comes
ing who should | meet but Billy (from
Kentucky? For the last FIVE weeks
I've realized it was useless for me to
try to love Billy and as 'frankness is
my motto l wrote him the truth, rs
always do. Result is he is up here with
two objects in view. I am not worried
for myself, but for my mother. If any
thing should happen fear it would
prove fatal to her. He said he came
up here with only two objects in mind,
to live with me or die with me- There
had to be a decision before sundown.
Dan, this is confidential and remember
that you are the only one I'm writing
this to because ! know you will under
stand. I will never (underscored
twice) marry without love, so it re-
mains to be seen what he means by the
latter statement.
II feel better now that somebody
knows it.
eau revoir'--love. "NE."

$4,000 Jewelry.
Stolen From Hotel,
Sought "A Days
Police Fail to Get Trace of
Plahnum-Set Gems, and
Private Agency Is Called
In; Victims Name Secret

1t became known yesterday, through
circulars sent out by the Pinkerton
Detective Agency, that articles of jew
lery valued at $4,000 were stolen from
hotel here on June 6. The victims
arc believed to be members Of q
wealthy New York family. A reward
of $500 has been offered for tho re-
covery of the stolen articles.
The loss was reported to the police
with a request to keep the informa-
tion secret. After an unsuccessful
search for the lost articles the case
was turned over to the detective agency.
The circular sent out describes the
articles as follows:
One platinum ring with pear shaped
three karat diamond surrounded by
twelve smaller diamonds.
One platinum wrist watch. studded
with diamonds and sapphires. The
sapphres are diamond shaped. i, The
watch has a Swiss movement numbered
66,366. . Z.
One platinum ring with 3.41-karat
diamond in the center, surrounded by
forty-six small diamonds, with total
weight Of 5.54 karats.
one platinum flexible bracelet Of
thirty-two diamonds, the largest weigh
ing 1.25 karats and the total weighing
15.42 karats.
The agency refused TO disclase the
identity of either Jtba client or the
hotel. They said, however, that it was
extremely improbable that the thief
would try to %dispose Of the jewelry
through pawnbrokers, as there is law
requiring pawnbrokers to report i'm
mediately m any jewelry set ii Platinum
a fence" will get the jewelry and
that the platinum will be melted down
after the jewels are Ternbvsd. Al "f@i
The rcbheryris believed TO haye been
committed by a sneak thief, VINO OBJ
tanned entrance to the b otel room late
IN the afternoon of June 6. That he was
frightened away is probable, from the
fact that only minor part Of the
jewelry was taken.

Cuban President Takes
Lottery Out of Politics
Signs Decree Embodying Re.
forms Suggested by Cen.
eraI Crowder

HAVANA, July, 1.-Alleged illegal col
lection Of nearly sl0,o00,o00 year
from the Cuban. people through viola
tions Of the national lottery law was
ended to-day by Presidential decree.
Pointing to the wide variance between
present methods Of conducting the lot
terry and those set forth in the laws
of July 7, 1909. and July 8, 1912, which
establish and regulate the institution,
President Zayas ordered reforms in
tended to remove the lottery from tho
category of political spoils.' n
The decree embodies recommends
tions made by Major General E. H.
Crowder in one Of the ten memoranda
he recently presented in his campaign
to secure honest and efficient collec-
ton and disbursement of federal rev.
enues. 1t also marks the passage Of
another crisis in the negotiations be-
tween the Cuban government and the
personal representative OF President
Harding. The first was slowed by the
reorganization Of the Cabinet.

in New York earE in the afternoon
were current on Friday One came
from the office of Saul Myers, one of
the receivers attorneys. A young
woman said over the telephone from
Myers's Office that Dicr creditor had
stopped in and said he had seen DER
on Broadway about 2 o'clock. The
bankruptcy hearing had been set early
in the week for 2:30 Friday afternoon.
Upon being pressed for further de-
tails the young woman said she "was
not at liberty" to give the creditors 8
name, or to amplify her statement, al
though she said she knew DER had
been indicted shortly before. Mr..
Myers. she said, was not in. nor was
anyone else with whom the Dier case
could be discussed
Others To BE Drawn In
The other report, already printed,
was that Dier had been seen uptown.
Another rumor was that DER could be
found at Atlantic City, where he had
been stopping recently. MIR. Rock
wood is in Maine and will not be here
until Wednesday. He may be able to
locate his client upon his return.
District Attorney Banton said yes
terday that the indictments of Dier,
Lawrence, Shrimpton and Recklein,
which he is prohibited from discussing,
had not by any means ended hs activi-
ties in the case. Those who have been
keeping in close touch with the case
expect the District Attorneys investi-
cation to be extended considerably. 1t
is expected that it will go far beyond
Dier and his immediate associates.
Mr.. Banton, in discussing the Dier
and other bucketshop cases, said yes
terday that he and his assistants had
given up any thought of taking vaca-
tions this summer.

American Oil
Camp Seized by
TuxpanBandits
Palo, Blanco Works of Pam
Mexican Fuel Co. Held
for 10, ,OOOPesos Ransom;
Workers. Fate Unknown
Obregon Acts Quickly
Troops Hurried to Tampico
Region; Press Modifies Its
Views on Bielaski Incident

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Palo
Blanco camp of tho Penn Mexican Fuel
Company near Tuxpam, Mexico, has
been raided by Mexican bandits under
General Larraga and the property is
held for 10000 pesos ransom, a mes
sage from Consul Shaw at Tampico to
the State Department, sent late yester-
day, said. The payment was demanded
by July 1, but no details Of the raid
were available, the message added.
The Penn Mexican Fuel Company is
an American concern and the camp re-
ferred to is about thirty miles west of
Tuxpam. The message did not say
whether any Americans had been held
by the bandits as security for the pay
ment demanded.
Trops On the Scene
An earlier message from Consul
Shaw said he had just been advised
reliably that 400 Mexican federal troops
reached the Aguada district in the
Tampco oil region on June 90 and the
consul believed that they would be able
to handle the situation there. 1t was
the Aguada camp of the Cortez Oil
week ago by the bandit leader Goro-
zavcc, forty Americans employed at the
plant being held for twentyfour hours.
1t is not known whether Gorozave re-
ceived the $4,000 pesos he demanded
for the release Of this camp.
Charge Summerlin at Mexico City
also advised the State Department to-
day Of the steps taken by the Mexican
government to suppress banditry in the
oil fields. He said Minister Pant had
handed him yesterday an informal note
containing the text of intructions sent
by the government to General Sanchez,
commanding the Tampico region, d.
recting urgently that the activities of
Grorozave be suppressed.
The raid against the Palo Blanco
camp in the Tuxpam district is the
FIRST incident in the new series of ban
dit operations outside of the Tampico
oil fields. 1t also adds the name of
another bandit leader to the roll Of
generals" who appear to be !evying
tribute on foreign-ownod oil proper
ties in Mexico. The new raid is the
third of the same character to be re-
ported during the week.
Attitude on Bielaski Changes
MEXICO CITY, July (By The AS
sociated Press).-A modified attitude
toward the kidnapping incident of A.
Bruce Bielaski, former head of the
Bureau of Investigation of the Ameri-
can Department Of Justice, was noted
in to-day's newspapers, the charge of
self abduction being suddenly dropped
in favor Of, wholesale accusations
against certain American interests as
instigators of an alleged plot to en-
barrass the relations between Mexico
and the United States.
1t is now charged by Mexico City
newspapers that these interests have
had agents in Mexico for many weeks
seeking an opportunity of staging a
kidnaping, and that Mr.. Bielaski's trip
from Cuernavaca to the Cacahuimalpa
caves last Sunday was seized as an
opportune occasion.
Although the newspapers declare
Bielaski entirely, their attitude is SO
that his complete exoneration
may be expected soon.

DR.. Elmore D. Dier, indicted on six
teen counts charging grand larceny
and operating bucketshop, had not
been found by detectives yesterday
after a twenty-four hours search. Nor
had any trace been found Of Harry J.
Lawrence jr., the partner who was in
dicted with him, nor Of the two former
managers for E. D. Dier & CO., Adam
Hecklein and Benjamin F. Shrimpton,
indicted on nine counts for bucketng
The suspicion seemed to be growing
yesterday that, far from coming in
when wanted, as had been promised by
Nash lockwood, Dier's attorney, DER
had decided to evade contact with the
District Attorneys office and especi-
ally with the detectives, at least until
after the holiday. The bench warrant
which Justice Giegerich issued for him
on Friday calls for his lodgment in
the city Jail if no judge is sitting to
whom bail can be offered. 1t is pos
sible, it is thought, that der might
decide to remain in hiding until
Wednesday, when he could have bail
ready and not spend a night or two in
the Tombs.

neys for the receiver, has been miss
