night at his apartment, 565 West 169th
Street, on bench warrants charging

The New Jersey detectives detailed

ing operations in Long Branch, and
the third charge is that "the Square
Faced Kid" was the proprietor of an
illega! resort in Long Branch in Jan
uary, 1921.
Followed Home From Races
His nickname is said to have been
bestowed upon him years ago in Cali

rectangular symmetry Of his features.
In their hunt for him in this city
the New Jersey detectives, headed by
j. B. Rue and assisted by detectives
from the West 177th Street police sta
Iol h,-
culiar shape of their quarry's head
but by his inextinguishable enthusiasm
for the races.
They haunted various race tracks
until they saw him motor up to the
Empire City track in Yonkers yester-
day. Then they trailed his car to
garage in West 10th Street, and shad-
owed him to the apartment in West
169th Street.
Detectives Mullins and Geiger, of the
West 177th Street police station, who
were with Rue, waited in the entrance
Of the apartment house while Rue went
to Collins's apartment. Collins ap-
peared at the door in respon7e to the
ring; -
tective greeted him. "I'm Mr.. Smith
the Smith you met down there in
casey as d party.
Seize Several Documents
That Identification appeared to dis
arm Collins's suspicious, and he in
vited his caller in. A moment later,
Mullins and Geiger entered, Collins
was arrested and his apartment
searched. According to the detectives,
they found several documents that may
prove to be evidence Of value.
Detective Rue said that the gang Of
which "the Square-faced Kid" is al
legged to be a member had obtained
about s5,0o0,O0O from victims in many
parts of the United States, Cuba and
other countries. The gang had oper-
ated in Miami, Fla, and in Colorado
and California, Rue declared. Several
members of it are said to be under ar
rest or under close surveillance.
Collins was held as fugitive from
justice. and extradition proceedings
will be started to-day

And Bond Robbery
Landlady of Bronx Rooming
House Identifies Picture
of One in Rogues' Gallery
as an Erstwhile Roomer

The arrest Of two veteran safe
crackers in an East Side poolroom
last night revealed that the safe in a
ground floor apartment at TIA Dawson
Street, the Bronx, was robbed of LIB
erty bonds and jewelry valued at
$4,000 Thursday afternoon. The loot
was the property of the landlady, Mrs.
Elizabeth Palmer, who is said by the
police to have done business in those
lines in addition to running the room
ing house. None Of the stolen prop
erty has been recovered.
The two prisoners are Morris Gold
stein, alias Harry Millings, printer,
and Samuel Greenberg, alias "Grecnie"
and "the Mock" tailor, both of 34S
Third Street. The former is charged
with the actual robbery, while the lat
ter is alleged to have acted in concert.
Mrs. Palmer, the police say, identified
the picture Of one Of them in the
Rogues' Gallery as that of man who
had rented room from her several
days ago, and this Is understood to
have been the starting point of the in
vestigatlon which eliminated with the
apprehension of the two ex-conyicts.,
Both the men taken into custody,
according to Detectives Hastings,
Reilly, Kilroy, and Hoffman, of the
safe and loft squad, have been at
liberty for less than a year, and one
plainclothes man added that both
Of them have spent so much Of their
lives behind bars that they don't feel
at home outside Goldstein's last con-
viction came in 1917, when he was ar
rested on the corner of Eighty sixth
Street and Third Avenue after firing
three shots at patrolman who was
trying to take him to the station house
on safe-cracking charge. Two sticks
Of dynamite and bag of tools are
alleged to have been found in his pos
session at that time.

Nuisance Checked
For two or three months there was
cessation of the nuisance Mrs
rs ever. Last Friday and Saturday
nights we were almost strangled. We
became SO desperate that this public
indignation meeting was called. Many
prominent members of these upper
East Side neighborhoods have become
indignant, and have signed our petit
tion, among them John Barrymore and
Margalo Gilmore. The odors are par
ticularly dangerous for theatrical peo-
pie, since they affect tho vocal chords
In peculiar way, causing q kind Of
sore throat.

Bedtime Stories
Bowser the Hound Is Sorely Puzzled
By Thornton w. Burgess
Some things on faith we hqve to
take
And t'ast to making no mistake.
--Bowser the Hound.

ot course, Mrs. Reddy knew that
when Farmer Browns Boy appeared
thcfe was no hope that she could get
,he young Fox out of that barrel. She
ma IN the grass, where she could
watch what would happen. She saw
FARMER Browns Boy take the young
@ Fox out and carry him to the barn.
ihen she turned and ran swiftly over
70 the Green Forest, where Reddy
feX was playing hide and seek
with bowser the Hound. She told
heday what had happened and they
declded that the first thing to do was
70 get rid OF Bowser as soon as pos
siole. With two Of them to do It It
didn't take them long SO to mix up
tae trail that Bowser could no longer
follow il
AS soon as he was sure that he
mad once more been fooled Bowser
turned and trotted home. He went
straight to the old barrel behind the
neniouse where the young Fox had
been a prisoner. OF course. he found
It empty, so he was no longer irter-
ested in it. Then he trotted ON up
to the house.
Farmer Browns Boy was watchinr
Tor Mim and at once called him over
70 him. Then he led Bowser over 10
the box in which tho young Fox was
curled up. OF course, Bowser amelled
the young. Fox at once and became
wildly excited. Farmer Browns Bov
talked to him. He told Bowser that
he was to leave this young Fox alone,
and after while Bowser understood,
He didn't understand why he was I'd
leave that young Fox alone, but it was
enough for him that his master had
ordered him to do SO.
Probably no more puzzled dog ever
lived than was Bowser as he followed
his master to the house. From the
time. he was a puppy he had been
taught to chase Foxes. Now here
was Fox right mp in the dooryard
and he had been ordered to keep away
from it. II didn't seem right. Bow
ser's world WAS turned upside down.
This would require a lot OF thinking
over. lie would keep away from thaf

Dier AMdavits for
New Venue Signed
By Park Benchers
State Attacks Petitions Of
fered for Broker Who
Failed for $4,5OO, 600;
Justice Defers Decision

The 473 afidayits expressing the
opinion that Elmore d. Dier, whose
stock brokerage firm of E. D. Dicr 4
Co. failed for s4,5oo,Ooo and who is in
consequence to be tried under indict-
ments for grand larceny, is guilty of
the crimes charged and which were
filed to support the plea that he, there
fore, cannot get a fair trial in New
York County, played leading part in
the argument on the change of venue
motion in the Supreme Court yester-
day. At the end of the argument Jus
tice O'Malley reserved decision pend
ing the submission of briefs.
Assistant District Attorney Ferdi-
nand Pecora offered to the court affi-
davits tending to show that the Dier
depositions had been indiscriminately
but not carefully obtained. Among
them were the afidavits of notary
public and commissioner of deeds,
describing the way many of the deposit
tions had been obtained, and also the
affidavit Of schoolboy who said he
signed one to oblige stranger.
w. M. X. Olcott, counsel for Dier,
declared he had never seen a more
bitter newspaper campaign waged
against any individual, not excepting
James Hazen Hyde and the affairs Of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
or Robert P. Brindell, the building
trades labor leader who is now in
Sing Sing.
Emil Herzfeld, notary public, 1T
West 11lth Street, deposed that he
had been hired ut dollar an hour to
obtain affidavits and that he went
around with couple of detectives
from the Cassasa & McKenna agency,
40 Exchange Place. The most fruitful
source of affidavits, Herzfelds deposit
tion stated, was Union Square and the
South Street waterfront. Some people
read the affidavit before signing and
others were not so careful. Herzfeld
made $52. Many Of the Union Square
benchers said they knew nothing about
the DER case.
Frederick James Barron, commits
sioner of deeds, 366 st. Nicholas Ave
nue., made similar deposition. His
earnings were $59.64. He covered
Bryant Park and some of the main
avenues.
Judge Olcott's contention in behalf
Of DER was that the minds of the pub
lie had been prejudiced by what he
called newspaper propaganda" and
that it was the duty of the court to
send it to another county for trial,
where no bias would be found among
the people.
