Candidates in Race for Su?

Guns of the Mitchel administration
were trained on Frank Moss at the
meeting of the executive committee of
the Progressive party at the Forty
second Street lliiiiding last night.
Laurence CiotTi, leader of the 8th
District, and half a dozen others want
1 ed tie organization to indorse Mr.
Moss as the candidate for District At?
torney. Knowing that the Moss mat?
ter would cimie up, Henry Moskov.itz,
Pr?sident of the ?Municipal Civil Ser?
vice Commiss.on. and Leonard Wall
stem. Commissioner of Accounts, had
previously obtained permission to ad?
dress ili?' meeting. They are Progres
lives, but not members of the commit?
tee, and their presence was resented by
some.
The virulent attack made on the
Mitchel administration by Frank Moss,
as counsei for the former Democratic
State (. ?vil Service Commission, partic?
ularly upon the Municipal Civil Servies
Commission, is responsible for the op?
position of friends of Mayor Mitchel.
At times the discussion, which was in
secret, i>?c..nie su heated that the
wrangling could be heard out in the
hail. One of the arguments advanced
against Mr. Moss was that many years
ago he wrote a book in which the Jews
were assailed. A letter received from
him was not read.
Mention of the name of District At?
torney Perkini unloosed attacks upon
him. The principal charge was that

bankers, A resolution that the
organization put up a straight ticket

of oilier because previously it had been
decided to take no definite action be?
f?te Thursday night. The name of
John J. O'Connell was mentioned as the
organization's candidate for District
Attorney.
A delegation favoring the indorse?
ment of Huph Gordon Miller for the
Supreme Court bench was heard, and

Busy Tammany Adds Three
Alore to Judiciary Race
Three new names were added yester?
day to the possibilities for the approval
of Tammany Hall for the nomination
for the fifth and sixth place, on the
Supreme Court bench this* fall. They
are (ii '.rgc .1. GillSBpre, chairman of
the elementary schools committee of

tion to the su me place.
Mr. Foster always has been strong in

that there will be st least live men in

was looking for and did not get," said
the state chairman. "He expressed

also saw a great many moose that nave

CROPSEY WINS TICKET FIGHT
Republicans Turn Against Fusion?
.MacCrate to Oppone O'Loughlin.
District Attorney C'ropscy, of Brook?
lyn, has prevailed upon the Republican
; leaders of Kings County to oppose a
fusion county ticket this fall. As a
result, Register Edward T. O'Loughlin,
a Democrat, who was the prime fa?
vorite of the Republican leaders on
account ?.f his record of economy, will
be dropped, and John MacCrate, of th"
15th Assembly District, probably will
be supported at the primary.
The enmitv of the friends of District
Attorney Cropsey toward County Judge
, John F. Hylan, who was the chief sup
' porter of Register O'Loughlin, was the
deciding issue. Mr. Cropsey's threat
. not to run unless a straight ticke'
put up, forced Jacob Livingston, county
leader,and Bridge Commissioner Kracke
to capitulate.

Fight?Got $400 from Cor

Driven by love for a girl to commit
fifty robberies since May IB. in which
he made off with $10.0??0 in money and
valuables, Andrew Le ISarr? was capt?
ured last night after a half-mile chase
; by Dot dives Burgess and O'Connell.
i When taken to Headquar'? is Le Harri
; told his whole story to the police, of
how he had tried to "keep straight"
! until he had met the girl three months
The prisoner, who said he was
' twenty-seven, a c'.erk, living at 215
rVest Forty-second Stieet, was released
from Flmira last Hecember. He wept
? as he related how he had returned to
1 New York and worked at $10 a week,
j avoiding his acquaintances of the
? underworld. After he had become ac
i quainted with the girl, who, he said.
j he had thought was "on the level," he
returned to burglary to satisfy her de
1 inands for presents and entertainment.
Late yesterday afternoon Le Rarri
entered the home of James VVyber. at
! 222 Lexington Avenue. Wyber re
1 turned from his work earlier than
? usual and saw the burglar in his apart
' ment, but not until Le Rarri had heard
1 him entering the room. The looter
j '.led to the roof, Wyber, shouting, after
: him, and downstairs through an ad
I joining house and into the Btreet.
Hera ?he detectives ?rave chase up Lex
ingtoa Avenue for ten blocks before
'? the] overhauled their man. Then he
put un a flght. and was beaten almost
: Insensible before he was subdued and
j led to Headquartei -, ,
There he appealed to Rurgess for
| leniency, cry-in? like a child.
"I tried hard to get away from you
fellows." he sobbed. "I don't like
' prison life, i don't care what thev sav
; about the luxuries. The outside looks
' good to me. I want to confess so lhat
' you and the judge will have sympathy
; and give me ?i chance."
He then admitted he had stolen $10.
000, but when he was searched not a
' cent was foui.d on him. In his pockets
were fifty keys and addre.-*.?es and plans
| of a number of Hats. All of these were
! on the top floors of buildings, and on
| each was marked the best time to
I "crack" the apartment. Most of these
pencilled from 'i till 4:80 in the
afternoon.
Le Barri gave the name of Cor
I poration Counsel Frark L. Polk, of 7
Hast Thirty-sixth Street, as one of his
victims. Four hundred dollars was
! Folk's loss, he said. He also told the
detectives all the flats he had rifled
since May that he could remember,
promising to tell more to-day if he
could. In nine, he said, he had ob?
tained twenty-one watches and chains,
twenty rings, eighteen of them with
diamonds; $117 in cash, three laval?
li?res, two lockets, heirlooms, and two

Weary Sentence.
Harry Roos, twenty years old, one
of the cleverest safe-blowers in the
country, completed a sentence of two
years and a half at Sing Sing yester
, day noon. He shook hands with the
! .Mutual Welfare League attendants at
! the gate, accepted their wishes for
' good luck, and walked out right into
| the arms of two detectives, who placed
him under arrest for a burglary com?
mitted in lilt.
According to the police, Roos's rec?
ord is too long and complicated for re?
cital. In 1912 it is said that Roos and
a gang of confederates blew up twen
! ty-one safes in The Bronx and upper
', West Side, mostly in cigar stores, hat
store- and butcher shops. Five men
in the gang are still serving prison
I sentences. Two women assisted in
gathering information about the places
to he en'ered.
When Deputy Commissioner Dough?
erty was in charge of detectives, Bool
was brought to Headquarters to give
a demonstration of his methods in
cracking safes.
The detectives brought Roos from
Ossining and locked him up in the
Morrissnis police station. The crime
of* which he ia accused occurred in
that district.

BUDGET SHOWS
UPWARD TREND
?Board of Estimate Sees
Trouble Paring It to
1915 Level.
Most of the departments, bureaus and
ofiices in the city and county govern
! ments have turned over to the budget
I committee of the Board of Estimate
j their requests for appropriations for
i lOlii. In most cases the figures show
that the officials are asking for more
| money next year than they have had
this year. The decreases are few and
far between.
It is assured that the Board of Esti?
mate, determined, if possible, to keep
the budget down to last year's total,
?vhich was just under $200,000,000, will
have some strenuous work pruning the
? I ?mates.
The reouests for 1916. showing
whether they are increases or de
ereases o\'er this year's appropriations,

LASHES EDITOR
WHO CALLED HER
FATHER JAILBIRD
Woman with Whip Keeps
Vigil* Behind Tree in
Lindhurst, N. J.
BATTLE OF BLOWS,
NAILS AND WORDS
Attack in Paper on Lawyer
Led Daughter to Seek for
Vengeance.
Louis Vender Pyl, editor and proprie?
tor of "The Lindhurst Sentinel," the
only weekly paper published at Lind?
hurst, N. J., was horsewhipped last
night in front of the Town Hall by
Mrs. Martha Gray, whose father,
.Michael N. Ritchie, was the subject of
a bitter attack on the editorial page of
last Saturday's "Sentinel."
Vander Pyl had just left a meetin-j
of the Town Commission, of which he
is a member, and had stepped up the
street to where his automobile was
parked. Mrs. Cray, waiting behind a
tree, st-ood motionless, holding a six
foot horsewhip, with a knotted end, un?
til Vander Pyl';*, back was turned.
With a cry she rushed at him, deal?
ing him cutting blows. When he tried
to clutch the whip she used her nails
and teeth, and dealt him a blow on the
eye.
Friends of Vander Pyl stood by, and,
with Chief of Police James M'Intyre,
they succeeded in securing the woman,
who bit and scratched them all. Sh>*i
was taken to the station house, where
Vander Pyl entered ? charge of felon?
ious assault against her, and the chi.f
supplemented it with another similar
charge, plus one for resisting an offi?
cer. Bail was fixed at 5300, which was
supplied by George Smith, a g_raga
manager.
According to town folk the trouble
betwe?n Litchi.- and th? c liror ha*
been brewing for some time, but it
reached an acute stage last Saturday
when Vander Pyl printed a double
leaded first column editorial in which
h? called Ritchie a lot of names not
exactly complimentary.
Vender Pyl has only lived in Lind?
hurst for five years, while Ritchie is
one of the pioneer settlers, having
been there more than thirty-five years.
The editor ?tared Ritchie to sue him,
saying that he had "forfeited his citi?
zenship."
Ritchie said that the attack on him
was provoked by advice which he gave
the Commission, of which he is also a
member. As a lawyer he advised them
that there was no requirement by law
to place advertisements of the town
business in the papers, and he advised
them that it was on ?nnseeeaa'Ty ex?
penditure of money to do so, especially
in "The Sentinel. This, according to
Ritchie, highly incensed Vander Pyl
against him.
Mrs. Gray, who is a trained nurse
about thirty-five years old, ?aid she
had no regrets concerning her action.
"I jurt thought I woulil do it," she
said, "SO I went out and bought a nice
new whip. I feel that in a measure
father has some satisfaction and the
Ritchie family is somewhat rindieated.
"This man ha.? been pounding and
vilifying my father in his cdi'orial
column. II SB calling him a
jailbird and making aspersions on his
character. He has dared my father to
sue him. I thought there was more
iction in us-i-g a whip on him
than in bringine him to court. He i?
????sible exci i physically, so I
thought I would use the one means
that he could appreciate."
Mrs. Gray*! husband lives In New
York. She lives with her father at
.'.iiii Stuyvesant Avenue.
'? r Pyl is thirty-six years old.
and lives at BS9 lake Avenue. He Is
prominently Identified wi'h the civic
Cnion township, of which Lind
