likely would be fruitless, with the sole
information consisting of several
anonymous telephone calls.
The Police Department. however,
had a scare about 3 o'clock this morn

Perpetual Building was accidentally set
off. Although six heavily armed police
men had been stationed in the build

C0G000 in cash in the vaults, all head
quarters detectives on duty, as well as
reserves from the first precinct and
the officers cruising in the radio equip

Investigation developed that one of
the officers on guard in the building
had tripped the burglar alarm when
he went to the telephone to call head
quarters to ascertain when his relief
was to come on duty.
The guard squad was equipped with a
machine gun and supply of tear-gas
bombs.
Persons who withdrew money from
the Perpetual during the run were
warned by the police today to be on
the guard against crooks and conf

excitement, and, while no dips" or
crooks were observed, it was reported
that several confidence men were OPP

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 6.-Another
author of note has sought to strip the
garments of heroiSm from another
famous American. The author is Ed
gar Lee Masters, lawyer-poet and his
subject is Abraham Lincoln In
Lincoln: The Man. published today
the Spoon River anthologist treats of
the martyred President much like
Rupert Hughes treated of that other
February born statesman, George Wash

Lincoln he interprets as a political
personality, slick and crafty poll

times neurotic and superstitious.
The Union Of Sovereign States. of
which Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg,
persisted with the (CiviD war" Mas
ters writes, and Lincoln's mind was
not profound enough" to see it.
Masters, who was born in Kansas 81
years ago and grew up in the Lincoln
country near Petersburg, H., has re-
tired from law and for the past seven
years has been living in New York
Most noted for his verse, he said his
appraisal of Lincoln is a prose interlude,
probably his last prose book.

be touched gingerly. One Of these, he
says, is Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln, Masters said, might have

most colossal plumbers in history"
Masters calls his book a political and
legalistic analysis Of Lincolns mind and
nature. based on available biographies.

Masters said in an interview, there
usually was boy genius who wore his
hair long, thought he had superior
abilities, studied words and debated.
