ish spendings and grand gestures. He
prided himself upon skill and would
often tackle the most difficult task
when challenged.
Wilmot was a fellow they still talk
about when veteran police reporters
gather in Manhattan to swap yarns.
Wilmot was an artist in more ways
than one. He had been a stage COM
edian and injected q certain strain
of comedy into his light-fingered &C.
cupation. The tale goes that he had
been finally placed under arrest af-
ter evading the police for some time.
It was Just before Christmas. A plain
clothes detective had caught him
working in a subway and was taking
him to the station. Suddenly Wilmot
began to smile. The detective noticed
that one of his lean, agile hands was
opening and closing, as though temp
tation itched it. The detective asked
him what might be amusing him.
There's an old fellow with long whis-
kers across the aisle, and he's got
swell sparkler on his tie. I'd like to
get the pin out from under his whis-
kers and give it to you for Christ
mas"
It was, evidently, a tough assign
ment, even for skilled worker, yet
before the detective could stop him,
the comedian had started to work. He
was, Of course, stopped. The detec-
tive smilingly admitted that he did
not doubt Wilmot's ability to de
liver"
And there was another-Joe Flan-
agan-who one day nabbed a wallet
containing 5000. Within a few min
utes he had flashed word to his pals
that he had made big haul.
Before night he had engaged
great tally-ho and four-horse team
and was driving his light-fingered
brethren from one bar to another
spending his money. Thus they
cavorted to Brooklyn to attend a
christening.
And in those old days when Gus
TOMS regulations were cruder there
was wise mob" that worked the inn
migration department. They knew
that most immigrants arrived in this
country with q roll" tucked upon
their person somewhere. And that
those who were going back home
generally carried twice as much. Hun
dreds such suddenly found themselves
penniless, after years Of saving and
struggle.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 31.-"Rubber Nose
Hymie" has joined that vast army OF
oddly-monikered individuals whose
fame is carefully preserved In the po-
lice records.
The same goes for Blond Slim"
Whitley Joe" and a big parade OF
others. In their day they were among
the lightest of the light fingered gen.
try. BY working the bar rooms it was
even possible to be heavy handed and
get away with 1t. Such agile pick
pockets, however, seldom soiled their
hands on the indicate practice Of
frisking DRINKS. Their camping
ground was the corner just outside
Grand Central station where crowds
hurried back and forth to trains, or
at the old Fourteenth and Broadway
change point.
The pickpocket profession had de-
generated to sort of petty larceny"
status, am told. Skilled hands may
not have lost their cunning, but they
have changed their occupation. And
Manhattan, which was once the
camping ground for purse snatchers,
with visiting strangers as their chief
victims, hears but few reports except
in those holiday seasons when SUBJ
ways are overcrowded and stores are
jammed with surging humans.
If Uncle Josh arrives to see the big
city his attention should be conferred
less upon his wallet than upon the
brand of bootleg recommended by the
bell boy or the casual taxi driver.

POWER UNIT Is
GIVEN TEST IN
Aqua PRlETA

The big diesel engine and generator
which make up the main portion
of the first unit of the Aqua Prieta
power and light plant we're tested
out on Monday afternoon and the
officials of the company report that
they went through their test in er-
cellent shape
Contrary to all indications the big
engine does not make much noise
One looking at the large cylinders and
the big exhaust pipe on the engine
would believe that when in operation
the noise of the exhaust would be
deafening but a hig silencer is at
tached to the exhaust PIPE which
effectually stills the explosions.
The second unit of the new plant
is on hand and about half set up
in it's concrete foundations beside
the first unit in the bright new power
house and the concessiona.res report
that they are confident that they
will be ready to start electric service
for their city within a very short
time.

ATHLETIC UNION
OPENS WAY FOR
GERMAN RUNNER

NEW YORK, Jan "a R-The
Amateur Athletic union through its
foreign relations committee today
cleared, the way for three American
competitive appearances by Dr.. Otto
Peltzer, ace of German middle dis
tance. runners two in New York and
one in Chicago
To gain formal sanction for these
engagements, Peltzer needs only to
comply with the usual A. A.. u.
regulations governing amateur COM
petition and agree to make no ex~
hihition appearances.
The German, who conquered beth
Paavo Nurn1i and Edwin Wide in
Europe, already has filed his entry
in the Nfillrose A. A. games at
Madison Square Garden February 2,
and in the Illinois Athletic clubs
track and field carnival at Chicago
February 10. His third appearance
provided he complies with a request
of the foreign relations committee
will be i'll the National "a A. u.
indoor championships at the Garden
Feb. IS.
The days developments brought
with them revival of the hope
that Peltzer may yet match strides
with Lloyd Hahn, American STAR
possibly in the Chicago meet. Peltzer
has expressed preference for the
1000 yard run in this engagement
and the Boston flier, VINO has been
nnbeaten in more thar two years,
may be induced to compete in the
same event The Illinois club an
nounced today tllat barring a change
in Peltzer's request he would be
entered in the 1000 yards against
Ray Conger, Johnny Sittig and one
or two others. possibly Hahn
The foreign relations committees
action came as somewhat of sur
prise in view of the fact that the
two members of that body Chairman
Joseph B. MacCabc and Guslavus T.
Kirby, intercollegiate representative
previously mad expressed opposition
to Peltzer's entrance into open COM
petition. This opposition had been
based on the belief that there should
be no international competition in
advance Of the Olympics and on a
desire to avoid repetition OF the
unpleasant incidents surrounding
similar appearances by Nurnn1 and
Charley 9off, Norwegian pole vault
star
The committee stressed the fact
that it still was opposed to inter-.
national rivalry sat this time, but
that consideration was due the Ger
mar athletic authorities who some
time ago. lifted the ban on compe-
tition by their champion.

$4,000 SOCK TO

NEW YORK, Jan. "a Headline
battlers who attempt to run OUT
OF matches in New York in the
future will not escape without re-
ceiving at least one blow. 9a
The state athletic commission de-
cided today tc level $1,000 "sock"
in the form of an appearance forfeit
at the treasury of any fighter who
declares himself unable to go through
with match on the scheduled date.
The tfistic fathers announced that
legitimate cases of illness or injury,
substantiated by its own physicians,
will be dealt with "leniently."
This action followed tie appearance
Of Charley Harvey, manager of Tom
Heeney, before the commission to
protest against Jack Delaney risking
injury in bouts scheduled before the
French Canadian battles the New
Zealand champion in Is round
match at Madison Square Garden
March /. Heeney complained that
a two. weeks postponement of his
recent draw engagement with Jack
Sharkey impaired his fighting form.
The commission refused to hamper
Delaney in his avowed purpose of
fighting himself into peak condition
but expressed the opinion through
William Muldoon, 80 year old member,
that postponements such as the
lSharkey Heeney affair must be pre-
vented in the future. The board
believes that Sharkey, who complain
ed of an injury to his left hand,
could have fought Heeney in Decem-
Der instead of demanding and OBJ

JUSTICE COURT
FAILS TO SUIT

HAVANA, Jan. "a (F9-The Colon
bian proposal for the establishment Of
q Pan-American court of justice pat
termed after the Hague court, with
the purpose of resolving judicially dis
putes among the American republics, is
not likely to be received with great
favor, Judging from the views private
ly expressed by majority of the
larger delegations of the Pan-Ameri-
can conference.
The American delegation it was
authoritatively asserted today, looks
with disfavor upon attempts to con-
stitute an international tribunal, where
as would be the case in the Colombian
proposal, the representatives of vari-
Gus governments sit as judges and de-
cisions are reached by majority vote.
The United States, it was added, al
ways has been strenuous upholder
of the principle of arbitration, provided
awards were handed down by specially
chosen arbitrators irY their capacity as
judges, and not as representatives of
particular nationalities.
The Colombian plan would institute
a bench Of IL judges, with 10 advisers

by representatives of the 81 American
republics.
representative of the United
States would appear as one, of these
judges, taking his turn in serving as
justice and as adviser.
1t is known that the American dele
cation, while it has decided to give
most earnest cooperation to the prac-
tical establishment Of the principle of
pacific settlement of international dis
putes, considers that the success of in
ternational adjudication depends upon
the trust which the tribunal inspires
that it will deliver awards based on
the legal merits of the case and not by
political considerations.
The American delegation did not eX-
press its views, directly upon the Col
ombian proposal, preferring to make a
more detailed study of the suggestion.
The impression was prevalent among
the chief Latin-A American delegations
that the proposal was impractical as
it now stands.

MAN WAITS in
RIGHT PLACE
TO NO AVAIL

Lying on his stomach in the dust
some so yards from the border fence
last evening a member of the United
States customs service scanned the
fence and the surrounding territory
with keen eyes and waited silently The
evening was cool and lying in one
position was not very comfortable but
the officer had learned that all things
come to him who waits, if he waits In
the right place. This officer believed
that he was in the right place.
Presently there was ruStling in the
grass and mesquite south of the fence
and against the rising moon the form
of man appeared approaching the
fence and carrying something bulky in
one hand. The customs officer held
his breath His hand shifted to his
hip and the big pistol was loosened in
its holster.
The approaching figure paused at
the barbed wire. The officer waited
patiently. The strolling man with the
bulky object in his hand moved slowly.
The customs officer crawled forward
some 20 feet. He prepared to spring
up and challenge the stranger. lie

TRIFF FIGHT IS
THREATENED IN
HAVANA PARLEY

HAVANA, Jan. "a (P)-Dr. Honorio
Pueyrredon, Argentine ambassador to
Washington and head of the Argentine
delegation TO the. sixth Pan7Aperican
conference, announced tonight that
his delegation would not sign any con-
vention for reorganization of the Pan
American union that did not incor-
porate as the duties of the union
those of studying means and ways to
reduce, if not to abolish completely,
high tariff duties in inter American
commerce and supervise the applica-
ton of agricultural and sanitary QUAR-
antines
The approach of at least a tennpor-
ary irnp3sse in the reorganization of
the Pan American union was seen by
delegates in the announcement. The
Arge n tine ambassadors declaration
followed a long speech yesterday in
which he assailed high tariffs and the
principle Of assessing these on the diff
ference of cost of production at home
and abroad.
The attitude of the American dele
cation regarding organization of the
Pan-American union was authorita-
ClVely SCaUeQ as pelng conclnaCory 70
the extreme as long as it was proposed
to maintain the union as a non-politi-
cal body of International cooperation
and intellectual relationship entrusted
chiefly with the duty of fostering Pan
American understanding.
It was emphasized, however; that the
American delegation had the. firmest
views regarding the inadvisabfity OF
converting the Pan-American union
into a political entity charged with
carrying out political duties and in
vestigation which, in many cases, would
run counter to the constitutional pro-
visions or internal legislation of its
component countries.
