Is Woman Held
As Shoplifter
Dr. Susan Seed?
Judges Believe Prisoner
Called Susie Condon, Wlio
Was Freed Under $500
Bail, Is Missting Doctor
Sisters Deny Accusation
i
Say They Found Lost Rela
tive in Newark; Mind
a Blank After Aceident
Ts Susie Condon, arrested last Sat?
urday and convictcd of shoplifting, Dr
Susan T. Seed, a chiropractor of tho
Krvada Apartments, who was reportod
missinc the day tbe Condon woman
was arrested?
Justices Frederic Kernochan and A.
V. B. Voorhees say they are one and
the same person. Dr. Elizabeth Brand
and Miss Catharine Condon, sisters of
Pr. Seed, deny this, asserting that i
they found Dr. Seed last Friday in a j
house in Newark. where she had been I
taken after losing her memory in an j
aceident. On this day the Condon
rroman was released from the Tombs
under bail for sentencc March 5.
Mistake, Say Sisters
Prspite the various points of coin
cidence in connection with the iden
tity of the two women, the sisters, who '
came on here from Cleveland a few ]
days after the reported disappearance
of Dr. Seed, say they are sur? a mis- i
take has been made in coupling the two
names. Both women, it appears, are ;
widows, forty-one years old. and say !
they come from Cleveland. The sisters
of Pr. Seed also admit that her maiden j
name was Condon.
The woman who gave her name as
Susie Condon was arrested in the de- |
partment store of James McCreery, at !
Fifth Avenue and Thirty-fourth Street,
on the afternoon of February 21 by
Helen Cargon, an operative of the
Stores Mutual Protective Association.
She was arraigned in the woman's
night court before Magistrate Mc?
Geehan, charged with stealing two
handbags, eight napkins and a book
rack, valued at about $48. She was he
manded to the Tombs and was tried
last Wednesday in Special Sessions be
before Justices Voorhees, Moss and
O'Keefe, and pleading guilty was again
remanded to the Tombs pending sen
tence.
Justice Kernochan says that
cr. Friday night James D. C. Murray,
i.i attorney, handed him some news?
paper clippings reeounting the disap?
pearance of Dr. Seed. declaring that
he believed that Miss Condon, his
client, was the missing chiropractor,
ar.d asked that she be let out on bail.
Justice Kernochan said the S500 bond
fixed was furnished in cash by a Miss
Florence Hand, who gave her address
as 132 Wesl Twenty-eighth Street. No
person with such a name could be
.
Attorney Refuses to Talk
rr&y says he was employed by
'? ondon, and refused to make any
. url h( r s:aten:en:.
;:r. Seed occupies a suite of^, eight
in the Nevada Apartments, at
Seventieth Street and Broadway. The!
; lavis ; furnished, and was i
iccupied by another woman. whose I
: ?;:..< could not be learncd. Dr. Seed
I re'from Cleveland three years j
ag , and - said to be the widow of j
? ? :. a former merchant of Bav j
City, Mich.
\ sitors to the apartment were told!
by the sisters that Dr. Seed was ill in i
bed and could not be seen. Dr. Brand,!
who is also a chiropractor, told a re
porter for Tho Tribune all the circum
b! nci - surrounding the disappearance
and t;!:ding of their sister.
They learned of their sister's dis?
appearance. she said, through the other
woman of the apartment. On Thurs?
day she says a woman who gave her
name as Mrs. Mary Bennett, of Xewark,
drew up in a taxicab and told Dr.
Brand that she saw reports of a missing
woman in the newspapers and thought
that a woman staying at her home for
the last five days might be Dr. Seed.
urther told Dr. Brand, according
to the latter, that the woman had.
I on the ice while attemptmg
to avoid an automobile on High Street
and had injured her head, causing loss
of memory.
Mrs. Bennett, according to Dr.
Brand's story, took the woman into
her home, and unable to find anything
about her person to identify her, har
bored her for five days. She explained
that Mrs. Bennett failed to call a phy?
sician or notify the police during this
time because of her "simplicity." Dr.
Brand could only recall that Mrs. Ben?
nett lived on a side street just off High
Street and that she had a family.
Memory Kestored Suddenly
Dr. Brand says that as soon as she
arrived at the house, she gave her
sister what she called an "adjuut
ment," a treatment of her spinal
column. which she says immediately
'? i her memory. They were
acconipanied to the Nevada apart?
ments by Mrs. Bennett. arriving about
2 or '?'? o'clock. or shortly after the
hour when Susie Condon was re?
leased from the Tombs on bail.
"Despite al! these strange coin
cidences," concluded Dr. Brand, "I
w;-int to emphatically deny that Dr.
Seed is in any way connected with the
Susie i'ondon that was arrested for
shoplifting, and action shall be taken
against all persons circulating re?
ports to the contrary as soon as Dr.
Seed ia sufticiently recovereo."
Justice Voorhees said last night
that there was absolutely no doubt
that Susie Condon was Dr. Seed, that
James Murray, attorney for Susie
Condon, had so stated to the court,
and that the identity of the Condon
woman as Dr. Seed had been further
pstab'.ished by Miss Mary Hangan,
probation ofticer.
SalvationArmyAids
Million Girls to Wed
Organization in Britain
Promotes Emigration of
Women in Excess ofMen
Tho Salvation Army in tho British
Isles, working in cooperation with the
government, is promoting emigration
of the approximately 1.250,000 women
in excess of the male population there,
according to an announcement vester
riay by Commissioner Davfd C.'Lamb,
London foreign secretary to the Army,
on a mission to the United States.
Spinsterhood or emigration is tho
fate of these women, the commissioner
asserted, adding:
"Wc offer no apology for active prop
aganda designed to procure a better
distribution of the sexes. There are
ft million and a quarter more women
than men in the British Isles to-day,
and one of tho biggest after-the-war
tasks assigned to the Salvation Army
in Britain is to stimulate female emi?
gration and direct it to those colonies
u. the British Empire, such as Western
Canada and portions of Africa and Aus
tialia, where there are more male than
female inhabitants. The prospect of
rliicing female domestics in the United
States has not been overlooked.
"The Salvation Army has dispatched
several shinloads of emierants to Can?
ada already. We help them make ar
rangements to leave the old country,
providc transportation when necessary,
and through our world-wide organiza
tior. see to it that the cmigrants are
safely settled in the new land.
"Our records show that of the girls
who emigrated some years ago to cer?
tain sections where women were in the
mir.ority 60 per cent were married
within three years of their arrival.
This fact and the opportunity for work
at good wa_.es in other lands are not
without sitrnificance to the tens of
thousands of thoughtful and enterpris
ing women in the British Isles."
Arnstein To
Be in Court
To-morrow
Continued from page 1
tion last Sunday at my home. I don't
know whether it was a long distance
call, for I was only at one end. I re
fuse to disclose the name of the man
who was talking to me, because I did
not see him nor had I ever heard his
voice before. To give his name would
be to. disclose a part of the conversa
tion with him.
Again Mr. Myers asked Mr. Fallon
who had retained him. and Mr. Fallon,
with a bored air, said that he had
already answered the question.
"Do you know where the bankrupt
now is?" asked Mr. Myers. "Has any
one told you where he is?''
'No," replied Mr. Fallon, "I would not
allow any one to tell me, for I felt
sure you would ask me that question."
"You are impeding justice," said Mr.
Myers.
"I am not," Mr. Fallon retorted. "I
sent advice no further back than last
night to the bankrupt. I told him to
come back, for he had nothing to fear."
Without much hope in his tone Mr.
Myers asked:
"How did you send this message?"
"Mr. McGee, my partner, and three
police officers took the message."
When Mr. Myers had regained his
composure he asked how they had
known where to find Arnstein, and Mr.
Fallon said they were to get their
guidance from persons whom he did
not know.
"Through some other alleged crimi
nals?" suggested Mr. Myers.
"I don't know who the persons are
and they may be criminals. You use
that word pretty freely," said Mr.
Fallon.
Mr. Myers asked Mr. Fallon if he
knew mon named William Shearer and
Herbert Wile, and Mr. Fallon said he
did not. The heafing was then ad
journed until 2 o'clock to-morrow af?
ternoon. Fannie Brice is to appear
then and Mr. Fallon said that Arn?
stein would be there also.
The rival attorneys then went to the
chambers of Judge Hand, in the Wool?
worth Building, to arrange for the
withdrawal of the body attachment.
Judge Hand received them.
Judge Hand demanded to know the
name of the man who telephoned Mr.
Fallon and retained him in Arnstein's
interests and Fallon said his name
was Alien. He said he did not know
the rnan's first name.
David W. Browder, of 227 East Fif
tieth Street, was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detective Isaac Mindheim
and or. an order signed by Judge Mul
queen was committed to the House of
Detention in default of $10,000 ball as
a material witness in the case pending
against David W. Sullivan. There are
two indictments against Sullivan set
for trial April 5. Browder was office
manager in the brokerage establish
ment conducted by Sullivan, who is
charged with criminal and felonious
receipt of securities, valued at more
than $-10,000.
Assistiint District Attorney John T.
Dooling, who signed the affidavit on
which Judge Mulqueen committed
Browder, said that the Sullivan trial
was expected to reveal that Arnstein
had disposed of certain bonds through
Sullivan's office.
Six additional safety deposit vaults
held by Arnstein have been located and
will be opened to-morrow as part of the
search for hidden assets in the bank
ruptcy proceedings.

Gregory Weinstein, personal friend
of Leon Trotzky, former editor of
"Novy Mir," and a member of the staff
of the Soviet "Embassy" under L. C.
Martens, appeared before a Bpecial
board of inquiry at Ellis Island yester?
day in connection with deportation pro
ceedings brought against him. Wein?
stein is accused of spreadingBolshevist
propaganda in this country with a view
to accomplishing the overthrow of the
government by force.
The hearing was held behind closed
doors and lajrted several hours. lt will
be resumed this week. Weinstein ap?
peared accompanied by two attorneys,
Rose Weiss and Charles Recht, of -17

missioner of Immigration Byron H.
Uhl explained that all deportaton hear
ings come under the general rules of
inspection of immigrants and are not
regarded as formal trials.
Attorneys Not Allowed to Object
Superintendent Baker further ex?
plained the mode of procedure by add
ing that the attorneys for the accused
are not allowed to put into the record
any. objections, but such objections
may be filed in a brief after the receipt
of all testimony. This rule prevented
Weinstein's attorneys from objecting
to the reading into the record of ex
tracts of literature seized in raids on
organizations with which Weinstein
was ajleged to have been connected.
The day was consumed in reading
this kind of literalureC Weinstein was
not placed on the stand and, according
j to his attorneys, will refuse to answer
j any questions in case he is, on the
\ ground that his attorneys have not the
right to fight against the introduction
of any evidence they may dcem preju
dicial.

said, and she contractod with another
private detective agency to watch the
Burns agents. Tho operatives of the
second agency, according to Major
Wynne, do not know yet that they in
turn have been trailed by the District
Attorney's detectives.
Even after all the Burns operatives
in this city who were connected with
the affair had been discbarged, the
agents of the second ajrency continued
to trail them.
Theft Charge Invcstigatcd,
Captain Campbell, according to Ma?
jor Wynne, acting for Mrs. Bergdoll,
went to the Burns agency and asked
tne operatives to look into the charge
toat while police officers of this city
and ajrents connected with the Depart?
ment of Justice's local office searched
the Bergdoll residence for Grovar Berg?
doll, at the time of his capture, they
stole $5,300 in jewelry and cash. Mrs.
Bergdoll accused the agents of taking
two $1,000 bills, about $500 in small
bijls and the rest in jewelry. Major
Wynne characterized this charge as a
"lie."
Davis, who was arrested to-night,
wbh brought to see Major Wynne a
few days ago. After an interview, he
went to New York and came back. To?
day he again went to see Major Wynne,
who had in the meantime examined
effects found in his room. He was de
taincd in the offices of the District
Attorney's detectives for some hours.
When Major Wynne was in posses
sion of all the facts in the caso he
took up the matter with United States
District Attorney Francis F. Kane. Mr.
Kane received his first information
j that the "frame up" was being at
I tempted on Thursday, when the inves
j tigation by the county detecti"es was
completed. To-day two conferences
j were held between Major Wynne and
i District Attorney Kane. At tho second
i of these, held while Davis was being
detained in Major Wynne's office, the
District Attorney agreed to issue a
warrant for Davis.
Bergdoll Captor Present
Charles McAvoy, who has been ap?
pointed to succeed Mr. Kane as Dis?
trict Attorney, was present at this sec?
ond conference. John J. O'Connor, spe?
cial agent of the Department of Jus?
tice, who was assigned to the case by
the Attorney General and who was
directly responsible for the capture of
Grover Berjrdoll, was also present.
Major Wynne said to-nijrht that
Charles Dennis, newly appointed as
chief operative of the Burns agency in
this city, had assi3ted in every way
possible in the investigation, and had
turned over every report made by Davis
and another airent, for whom a warrant
has been issued.
Davis was taken to the home or
United States Commissioner Long to
night for a preliminary hearing. Com?
missioner Long is ill in bed.
Mrs. Bergdoll received her first in
formation of the arrest of the Burns
agent from a Tribune correspondent
who sought an interview late to-night.
She said she knew nothing of the
agent, the arrest or the alleged
"frame-up."
John 'p. Dwyer, who was to have
been the subjeet of the "frame- ,
up," refused to comment on the case, i
but promised that ho would havo a
statement to make to-morrow. At
least one arrest is expected within the
next twenty-four hours.
Burglars Get $50,000
In the Last Ten Days
Many Small Robberies of Furs,
Jewels and Clothing
Are Reported
Details of several robberies in the
last ten days which havo not l*een re?
ported by the police came to light yes- j
terday. Approximately $50,000 worth
of furs, jewelry and clothing wero
stolen.
A thief entered the Broadway j
Clothes Shop, 1552 Broadway, and
helped himself to all the suits and j
overcoats he could carry. Ho evidently
donned one of the suits before depart- >
ing, as his own shab'y garments were j
left behind. The exact loss has not
been estimated.
The presence of a burglar alarm in
the establishment of Jacob Bleweis, 124 '
East Broadway, did not deter the thief
or thieves who robbed the store of
$8,000 worth of furs.
Burglars entered the home of S.
Pecci. 1701 Eighty-fourth Street,
Brooklyn, and took jewelry and linen
valued at $5,000. Dresses valued at

elry valued at $3,000, and that thieves

THE NOTABLE PRIVATE COLLECTION
OF
Paintings, Water Colors,
Pastels and Drawings
AND THE
STUDIO EFFECTS
OF THE FAMOUS MODERN DUTCH ARTIST, THE LATE
Hendrik Willem Mesdag
THE HAGUE, HOLLAND
''This private collection of Mr. Mesdag, with works of his own and
works by his wife (nee Sientje van Houten), together with his studio
effects, Mr. Mesdag intended tn go to the Xetherlatids Government to
become a part of the Mesdag Museum: his will directed that the Gov?
ernment he invited to acquire it. His death in the second vear of the
war found his country upset, and although Queen Wilhelmina offered a
private contribution toward a fund for securing the collection her Gov?
ernment dectded that it was not a time to do so, and the executors of the
will were obhged to make other disposition of it. That it was to leave
Holland evoked a poignant regret from at least one former Minister
or the State.
"Mr. Mesdag's home at 9 Laan van Meerdervoort adjoined the
Museum (to which he had a private entrance^, so it were fittine both
home and collection should have gone to the Museum, which now gets
neither The collection represents the surroundings and the carefully
selected works of art with which the painter chose to live. Hig studio
was a huge one, hung with Seventeenth Century tapestries. His house
contained twenty-two rooms. Its yard ran back to the Peace Palace
One room was entirely given to the works of Charles Francois Dau?
bigny his friend of earl.er years. He was a man of manv friends and
careful y chosen mtimacies. Mancini was a cronv with whom he ex
changed visits. The three Maris brothers were' his intimates--?even
Ihys (Matthys?Mathew) who lived in England. So were MWe
and de Bock, Roelofs, Israels, Bosboom and Neuhuys.
'?The famous panels of his sliding studio doors?thev are here in the
collection?were painted by invitation by Israels. Willem Maris W C
Nakken the painter of horses. Edward van der Meer the land'seapm"
Phihp Sadee the intenor nnd figure painter, Gerke Henkes who is better
Known in Holland than in America?and there are nanels also bv the
artist and his wife, who wished to number themselves with their works
among their friends. (Mme. Mesdag's death preceded her husbind's
by six years.) Alma-Tadema was a reiative, and there is a personal
tribute by him in the collection.
m "The collection is too large for much particularization here. To men
tion a few names besides those already spoken of. Rousseau is repre?
sented by two important works from the Rousseau eale, Corot is included
and Monticelh, and Mettling, and among the few Old Masters van der
\elde, Palamedesz and van Cuelen. The Millet drawings are numerou.
important, fascinafing, and include two recorded in 'The Drawinzs of
Jean Francois Millet, with 50 fac-simi!e reproductions of the master's
work, which has an introductorv essav bv the distinguished French
writer, M Leonce Benedite, the Director of the Museum of Luxemboure
Ihe Daubigny drawings are remarkably impressix-e. The Mauve pencii'
sketches bring Holland over with them, the Mancini nudes in red chalk
will bring out the artists in force.
"The collection of etchings include the work of Miilet Vollon
Rousseau, Jacque, Fortuny, Daubigny, Corot and Bauer. Of the great
number of water colors, many were kept i-nframed in drawers to be
tak.cn out and looked at and shown with interest from time to time.
''The tapestries are French and Flemish, including Gobelins Beau
vais and Brussels. and number an.ong other subjects 'Narcissus' at the
VSaters Ldge, -Diana Imploring Jupiter,' 'Idolatry before Baal ' and
'lnompne d Alexandre,' the latter after cartoon by Charles le Brun."
