Waiters Out.
GIRL PLANS NEW MOVE
Sends Oayly Clad Emissaries
Into Hotel Belmont, Only
to Have Them Arrested
on Disorderly Charge.
Elizabeth Ciurley Flynn, a slim ant
pretty young woman, with tired eyes, a
member of the Industrial Workers of the
World, told, last night, how she and her
fellow leaders were trying ta bring the
owners of the big hotels to their feet.
However, although she and Patrick I*
C?utnlan, another Industrial Worker or
the World representative, did their best
yesterday to have walkouts in certain
h?tela, only Murray's restaurant suffered,
and a m re handful went out there.
Miss Signs and Mr Qulnlan said that
hereafter they would send their well
dressed strikers into the hotels, accom?
panied by equally well gowned women
their wives or daughters. They figured
they would not attract attention and
cause disorder by such a method
EgftSt evening, just before suppertime.
Miss Flynn escorted two gayly clothed
strikers to the door of the Hotel Belmont
and there bade them come out only when
they had called a strike among all the
waiters and kitchen help there. Rut she
waited outside for a long time end heard
nothing from them, Liter, when she re?
turned to strike headquarters, She learned
that her two men had been arrested.
They were O. S. Gilder, president of the
Rationalist Rook Association, at No. 01
West l|Sth street, and Frank Tease, a
San Kran els.-o reporter, at present staying
at the Hotel Lafayette. Eugene Hardl
gaai manager of the hotel, had them ar?
rested on charges of disorderly conduct.
The two men walked into the Pain room
Of the hotel and then started to call about
them She waiters in the room. They
told the waiteis who they were and asked
that they a!! "gel together" and call a
general strike.
The only important news that came
from the headquarters of the strikers was
the announcement that the statement of
Kttor?"If you have to go back to work
under unsatisfactory conditions, do it
with your minds made up thst it is the
unsafest proposition in the world for the
capitalists to eat food prepared by mem?
bers of your union"?should not be Inter?
preted as meaning that food would be
poisoned. Nothing was further from the
mind of Kttor, they said. It was also
stated that the striking waiters and cooks
would join forces with the women gar?
ment workers, now on strike, and with
them march through the city on Monday
morning hearing flag*, banners and dec?
larations denouncing such police, private
and public, us have attacked them.
There was an outcry among the hotel
men when they learned of Ettor's state?
ment. Thomas M Hllliard. manager of
the Vanderbllt Hotel, said: "This BUM
should be arrested imm?diat? ly. The
[moral effect upon those Ignorant and
anarchistic waiters who heard him say
such a thing is appalling." Other man?
agers gave out statements to the same
effect.
For three days the strikers bad been
trying to have all the waiters and kitchen
help in Murray's restaurant. 42d street
near Broadway, walk out. Yesterday
afternoon they succeeded In getting thir?
teen waiters and five cooks to Join their
forces. They left Just before the luncheon
hour, by Manager 11. H. Cockle declared
he had discharged them because lie had
suspected them from the first news of a
strike
After yesterday morning's demonstra?
tion, whin five hundred waiters set out
to "clean up things," two of them were
arrested in the Taverne Louis, in the
Flatlron Building, for assaulting several
other waiters. One of them, Henry
Hervettn, of No. US west Htb street, ?ai
placed under arrest lor assault.

Well the Women? Political Union did
one big thing last night. It made the 71st

that number attended the union's ball, as

also that a bunch of energetic women can
give a business man more points on
advertising than he could digest In a

Never was a thing advertised as this
hall had been. The suffragists advertised
It from automobiles and tfcaf advertised
It from shop windows. They advertised
it till they were arrested for It. and then |
they advertised eomo more. Result: It
was a ball that made even the Albany

All the world was there except a few

of politicians, including Miss Mary Don?

At the police station the kidnappers
were identified as Samuel Sinclair, su?

with headquarters in this city, and R.
Walter Starr, a senior at I.ehigh t'nl
vcrsity. South Bethlehem Both were
committed to jail in default of ?1,000
bail.
The girl was taken to her home and
is in a serious condition as the result
Of her experience.
Miss Steekel is twenty-three years
old and Is a leader of the exclusive set
of young society folk In Allentown.
She Is a graduate of the Allentown Col?

and talented. The kidnapping is al?

htgh County
Met at a Card Party.
Sinclair's manners and Sppsarancs,
In addition t-> bis family ? ounn tlons,
soon won him a peace in local society,
and while a guest at u eard party ho
was introduced to Mies Pteckel. He
bei ame a frequent caller at her gOOM
and was a welcome visitor for a time,
but Miss Steekel. It Is deelnred, tired of
him ?ome months ago and esfcsd him to
?ease his calls.
The aident young suitor. howe\er,
declined to l.e < ust aside and repeated?

clared: "I'll get you yet '
Miss Pteckel admitted she was afraid
of Sinclair, but to-dny. when she had
not seen him for several days, she ex?
pressed the hope that she was rid of
him.
?flag Steikel had been on a shopping
tour, and on her way home at 4 .'!?)
o'clock this afternoon she suw a taxi
cab standing at the curb opposite her
home. She gave It only passing atten?
tion, and. unlocking the front door of
her home, stepped Into the vestibule
and stooped to piel up several letters
which had been dropped there by the,
postman, .tiwt then she was grabbed
by the arms by two men. whom sho
recognised as Sinclair and Starr.
Thinking the whole affair was a Joke,
Miss Pteckel laughed at the men. but
wh<n she found herself being dragged
Into the street she realized the seri?
ousness of the situation and began to
hcream for help. One of the men
clasped his hand over her mouth to
suppress her cries, und In less than a
minute she was forced through the
open tioor Into the waiting taxicab.
"Now drive as fast an you can Into
the country," -was the order the taxi
cab driver received.
Chauffeur Disobeys Orders.
The chauffeur was C. W. Fherer, of
"West Bethlehem, who said he ??is en
gaged at noon by Sinclair and Starr
to drive the taxicab "for a wedding."
He declared he had no knowledge of
the plans of the ubductora und that
when ho heard the girl's screams he
decided to put the party Into the hands
of the police.
Instead of driving through side
streets Into the country, as he had
been ordered. Sherer turned Into Ham?
ilton street, the city's main thorough?
fare, and drove tho car nt top ?pood
toward the police station. In the mean
time the girl's arma had been pinioned
and a blanket thrown over her head,
but the chauffeur was able to hear hor
appeal? for help, which attracted the
attention of persons on the sldewulks.
T lodging teams and trolley cars,
Sherer rushed his cnb down the busy
street until he reached Centre Square,
where Charles Boyle, a pollo?mun,
was stationed. Sherer tried to check
the automobile, hut he was goln* no
fast that h ran It Into the Soldiers'
Monument. Then, calling Boyle, he
told the latter there was "something
wrong inside."
The policeman ordered the chauffeur
to drive to the police atation. There
the girl told bar story and wae aent
home and the men were locked up.
They were committed to Jail later, and
Sinclair's parent? at Kennett Square
were notified.
Sinclair declared In his cell: 'This
girl loves me, and this affair wat ar?
ranged between us. and we were to h?,
nmrricd In spite of her futher's objec?
tion?, but ?he went back on me."
That wae all he would ?ay.
Prienda of the Steekel family will
press the charges against the two men.
The fathers of the men are expected to
reach Allentown before morning.
SIPP SAYS GAYNOR
ORDERED HI "GOT"
Continued from first pace.
the Police Department will AU a good
many libraries."
"Who at the very top of the Police
Department does know anything about
It?" Sipp was asked.
"Not a man," was his reply. "Flynn
was a great policeman, but the system
'Jobbed' Flynn. Waldo does not know
anything about police work, and
Dougherty is not much better. I don't
think Dougherty Is on the Inside.
"I got out of New York so I would
not have to testify at the police trial of
Policeman Fox."
It was to Fox, Sipp told the mem?
bers of the Curran investigating com?
mittee, he had paid graft for many
years as the collector of the System.
"I did not want to testify at Fox's trial
before the police board," said Sipp.
"Why, It would be just like breaking
a pane of glass. Fox would he broken
that easy and the men behind him
would not even be scratched."
"Who are the men behind Fox? Who
eventually got the graft money you
paid to Fox?"
"Ah." said Sipp. "that Is the ques?
tion that has been asked of me, I
believe, a million times during the
last two weeks. That Is the one ques?
tion I will not answer.
"District Attorney Whitman know*
who gut that graft money, and he is
investigating right now. He will reach
the man. I will bet nvy last dollar on
that. Whitman will reach the head of
the System, and It makes no difference
if the System commits murder to pre?
vent it. All of the evidence Is In the
hands of the District Attorney, and he
has taken the precaution to transmit It
to other persons In case anything
?honl4 hnppen to him.''
Whitman Guarda His Life.
"Is District Attorney Whitman In
tear of an assassin?" Sipp was asked.
"The System will do anything, and
District Attorney Whitman is taking
no chencas, If he must pay for doing
his duty with his 111?, I believe he will
do so."
These was but one time when Sipp
really appeared to be angry or resent?
ful during the entire interview. That
was when he spoke of his arrest in
Atlantic City.
"If they had not forced my arrest in
Atlantic city." he said. "I setts** I
jtmt would have remained out of New
York until things quieted down. Rut
when they 'Jobbed me.' they threw me
Into Jail, went out on the atreets and
picked up two characterless women and
got them to swear to B charge against
me that is causa enough for any sune
sana ta rnenssM murder, i decided I
would aid District Attorney Whitman
to the limit of my ability.
"Had it not been for Whitman I
would be back in New York right now.
I would be in Jail, and later 1 would be
convicted. Mr. Whitman personally
conducted that case they had trumped
up against me bet?re the grand Jury.
It was he who examined the two women
separately and discovered their stories
did not agree in a single particular. It
araa he who examined the policeman
who procured the women to swear
ugninst me, and broke down his testi?
mony. U was all Whitman."
"When will you go back to New
York?" Sipp was asked.
I urn In the hands of District Attor?
ney Whitman," ho said. "I will go
back to New York whenever he la ready
to have me go back. I will testify to
everything 1 have told him and I will
do my level best to break the System.
1 mav pay for the attempt with my
life, but I will go through with It. I
will do anything to pay back the Sys?
tem for bringing that charge against
me "
Sipp Haa Bodyguard.
Howard Sipp snd an attach* of the
District Attorney's office also are al?
most constantly with Sipp while he is
in his room, or they remain in the
same house. Sipp seldom leaves the
house, but when he does he Is guarded
by two men, both large and husky and
bath of whom carry loaded revolver?
"I am not taking any unnecessary
chances of being killed," said Sipp,
"and therefore I have hired a body
guard. I shall not go back Into New
York until District Attorney Whitman
tells me to do so, and should I die
tinder the operation my deposition Is
in auch good shape that Its testimony
will he almost as good as my own ver?
bal testimony."
Several attempts by representatives
of the New York Police Department
have been mnde to approach Sipp; but
their efforts have been frustrated by
Assistant District Attorney Oroehl,
who Is here protecting Sipp from any
such moves. !
POLICE AGAIN PLOTTING
TO KEEP SIPP SILENT
Agents in League with "Vice
Trust" Seek Him Out in
Philadelphia.
Information that came to the Dis?
trict Attorney's office yesterday went
far to prove that secret agenta of the
New Yojtk Police Department, or that
part of It in league with the vice trust,
were trying to prevent the return of
(?eorge A. Sipp, and his telling a story
to the grand Jury that is expected to
result In Indictments against a captain,
an Inspector, and several policemen of
lesser rank.
It was reported that these agenta
were working In Philadelphia, trying to
induce Hipp, who la stopping there nt
the Hotel Walton under an assumed
name, to remain out of New York. As?
sistant District Attorney Oroehl, who
Is guarding Sipp, Is doing all he can to
provent police agenta from reaching
the former Harlem hotelkeeper, who is
equally desirous of uvotdlng them.
The great fear entertained by 8lpp
and shared by District Attorney Whit?
man. Is that the police will endeavor
to arrest Sipp when he arrives In New
York Tuesday mn/nlng, as the/tried to

There has been designed for, and is now part of the
equipment of all Simplex chassis, an electric self?
starting and lighting system which is of exceptional
merit.
The generator is connected direct, no chains, belts
or gears being employed in its propulsion. It is easily
removed, being attached in the same manner as a Bosch
Magneto. The starting motor also does away with
excessive weight, by the elimination of reduction gears
or starting levers.
Pressure on a foot pedal making an electrical contact,
is sufficient to crank the motor, and force thus generated
provides for the disengaging of the mechanism.
This, with other new Simplex features, is shown only
at the salesrooms?240 West 59th Street (near
Columbus Circle)?which will remain open until 10:30
o'clock each evening up to January 18th.

the corroborating evidence* against
Lieutenant Becker, and which resulted
in sending him to the death house with
"Gvp" the Blood, Lefty" Louie, "Dago"
Frnnk and "Whitey" Lewis.
To circumvent any such plot on the
part of the police, Sipp will be smug?
gled into this city Tuesday by trusted
detectives from District Attorney
Whitman's office. He will be taken at
once before the grand Jury. Slpp's
wife, and son, J. Howard Sipp, ? ho are
with him at Philadelphia, will also tes?
tify before ths grand Jury on Tuesday.
Those who have been following the
police situation have murvelled at the

who were accused of graft before the
alde.rmanlc committee. The men ac?
cused are Detective Arthur Carmack
and Lieutenant Olynn. The latter Is a
relative of a powerful Tammany poli?

whenever a charge of graft was made
against any of his men and there was
the least corroboratlon of the accusa?

Olynn's case, thougli the charge was
made almost two months ago, and ?
nothing has been done to put Carmack!
on trial, though he was publicly ac?
cused more than a week ago.
Carmack was charged by Bcnjamli,
