JBl Few, indeed, had ever seen him.
Afi he had no children of his own to

g d:ec there was nothing to do but
KJ] it and divide the proceeds among
hese who have sprung from the Astor
tofiy tree.
Thst is why yesterday more than

took another at 259 to 263 West Forty
fifth Street. *
1 When the properties at 249 to 257
| West Forty-flfth Str*et, dying between
the Doom and Shubert pVpts, were put
1 up one of the most apirited incidents
of the sale occurred. After the Bloom
plot at 239 to 247 had been di/poscd
| of for $316,000, the lot at 255 was of?
fered. and the same intcrests obtained
it for $60,125. Then Mr. Margolies took
249 on a bid o'' $55,500. Following that
Bloom again bough.t> taking 251, 253
and 257, effectually blocking Margolies
thorgh it cost him $190,000 to do so*
Margolies paid $43,000 for 259, and
when the bidding was over both sides
found they had paid a lot of money for
lots disconnected and useless as the?
ater sites. If ever they iron out their
differences they can piece together a
fine plot.
Contest Over Eighth Avenue Corner
Mock's Restaurant property was the
Bubject of another sharp contest. which
ended in its purchase at $167,000 by
John Kadel, a lawyer, of the Bronx.
This property is at the southeast cor?
ner of Eighth Avenue and Forty-sixth
Street, and its sale indicated to the
real estate fraternity what rapid
strides that part of Eighth Avenue has
made toward becoming n real factor in
the amusement life of New York.
Of buildings. there was not one in
tho whole offering that has any merit.
Tenements anjd small houses cover all
the lots, structures erected twenty to
: forty years ago, and now entirely out
, of p'.nce. But to many people they
represent home, and that is why there
were so many persons there who
clutched tightly rolls of bills, Liberty
j bonds and savings bank books. The
; proceedings were new p.nd strange, and
the bidders proceeded cautiously- In
j many instanccs they were successful,
| but a good many folks who never have
'< known any homes except the little
j houses west of Ninth and Tenth ave
nues could not stand the pace set by
; business, and now will have to look
| elsewhere.
Prices generally were about what was
j expected. All real estate men felt that
j the city's valuation for tax purposes
I was low, so when bids of from 5 to 100
I per cent raoro were made nobody was
j surprised.

Fine Setting for Sale
No auction sale in recent years has
had a more pleasing setting. The
great ballroom of the Astor with its
tiag-draped balconies and high ceilings
was just the right spot for the event.
Indeed, its very site is part of the
old Eden farm and the properties sold
yesterday stretch northwestward from
it to the river. At all times during
the sale the room was filled to capac?
ity, and during the session, which
started at 11 o'clock in the momin:;;
and ended at 11 o'clock at night. perhaps
not less than 5,000 persons looked in.
Practically every living real estate
operator of the past or present was
there, in addition to a small army of
interested heirs or#their legal rep?
resentatives.
Charles F. Brown, whom the courts
had ordered, as referee, to sell the prop
er.ty, looked pleased that the two years'
litigation was nearing its end. Mr.
Day as auctioneer was at his best. Mr.
Davies said the prices were entirely
satisfactory to the heirs; the buyers
seemed satisried with their purchases,
so, everything considered, it must be
said for "Uncle Henry" Astor's benefit
that while he never enjoyed New York,
he gave the town one really good
show.
Arnstein Refuses
To Surrender Until
Bail Bond Is Fixed
Attorney McGee, Who Re
turns After Trailing Fugi?
tive With Detectives, Says
This Is the "Final Word"
"Nicky" Arnstein will not surrender
until bail has been fixed on the bond
stealing charge against him, according
to Eugene McGee. his attorney, who ar?
rived from Syracuse last night. Mc?
Gee said he had been in telephonic
communication, through a third person,
with Arnstein. and that that was the
j final word of the fugitive, who has been
leading the authorities an opera bouffe
chase.
Arnstein, McGee said, had requested
that some one be delegated to sleep in
his apartment pending his return, lest
stolen bonds be "planted" there to
"frame" him.
"I know the man ia absolutely inno
cent," McGee asserted, "and we will
prove it in time."
Two detectives, members of the
original Arnstein expeditionarv force
that left here a week ago last Friday
to escort the phantom "Nicky" back
into the jurisdiction of the local cour*$,
returned to this city yesterday and
proceeded to plaster additional coats
i of mystery on the case of the alleged
; bond theft plotter.
| They were Detective Sergeants James
J. Gegan and Grover C. Brown. They
reported that they had left Detective
Sergeant August Mayer "somewhere
: up the state" with McGee, who had
agreed to guide the three sleuths to
"Nicky's" hiding place.
After beinjr reintroduced to Deputy
Police Commissioner Lahey, for whom
i they were supposed to be working, but
I who had not seen them for so long
1 that he almost failed to recognize
them, the two detectives went into ex?
ecutive ses?ion with their superior.
The story thev told is said to have
:had a punch in every paragraph. It
! pulsated with thrills, heart-throbs and
harrowing details.
Dooling Hears Story
Gegan and Brown later related their
story to Assistant District Attorney
John T. Dooling, who, after being
j partly restored by cold towels and
! smelling salts, administered by Albert
! Blogg Unger, told reporters he had
j been greatly moved by it. He said it
j was a long story and a good one and
he expressed profound regret that he
could not make it public.
The two detectives, looking a little
older nnd a trifle haggard, refused to
j relate their story a third time for the
- benefit of newspaper men. Asked if he

Detective Suspended
As Result of Arrest
Detective Sergeant Thomas A. Dolan,
who, it is charged, raided a restaurant
at 111th Street and Lenox Avenue Sun?
day morning, was supended by First
Deputy Police Commissioner John A.
Leach yesterday after hc had been dis
charged in Washington Heights court
when arraigned for felonious assault.
When Dolan was arrested Sunday
forty witnesses to the alleged assault
came forward and expressed their will
ingness to testify that the restaurant'
had been wrecked and Jack Dolgoff, of
116 West 113th Street, a chauffeur, had
been attacked by the detective. Dol?
goff insisted that Dolan had assaulted
him.
In court only two of the forty wit?
nesses appeared, and they could not be I
certain that Dolan was the man. Dol- |
goff insisted he could not be sure who j
had hit him.
"This is the most remarkable case
that has come before my attention,"
Magistrate Schwab said. "If any one
is interested in this and wishes to
prosecute further he should go before
the grand jury. I can't quite under
stand the whole situation, but am gov
erned by the evidence offered."

Hirshfield Makes
Public Apology to
Staten Island Jury
Commissioner Loses Defiant
Attitude After Second Ap?
pearance in Inquiry on
the Trolley Fare Raise
David Hirshfield, Commissioner of
Accounts, appeared again yesterday be?
fore the Richmond County Grand Jury
in the Staten Island traction Investiga?
tion. Before leaving his offlce, in the
Municipal Building. Commissioner
Hirshfield issued a defiant statement
directed at County Judge Tlernan, of
Richmond, who instituted the investi?
gation and in his charge to the grand
jury declared that the members of the
Board of Estimate and other city of?
ficials had been derelict in their duty
in not affording relief to the people
of Staten Island since the Midland
Railway trolley lines discontinued op?
eration.
After a two-hour session with the
grand jurors Commissioner Hirshfield's
j defiant attitude had disappeared. He
! had been instructed to make a public
! apology through the newspapers for
; certain things he said about the grand
| jury. He followed out instructions.
After leaving the grand jury room the
Commissioner sought out the news?
paper men.
"I have been asked," he said, "to
make a statement to the papers with
reference to a letter which I wrote
to Ma or Hylan last week to the effect
that 'grand juries and other officials
had pretty much their own way on
Staten Island.' What I meant to say
was grand juries in general. The use
of the word 'the' before grand juries in
the published letter was wrong.
"My statement also read 'grand juries
nnd other officials were influenced by
traction oflicials.' They really only
subpcenaed me to take a fall out of
: me. I was subpcenaed bec?use I com
: mitted the crime of lese majesty
against the person of Staten Island.*"
"Meaning Judge Tiernan?" the Com?
missioner was asked.
"Well, I won't say that," he replied.
It wa3 reported that Mayor Hylan
i would be "invited" to appear before the
grand jury later in the week. Assist
ant District Attorney Norton, who con
ducted yesterday's examination of wit?
nesses, would not deny orconfirm tha
report.
Calvin D. Van Name, Borough Presi?
dent of Richmond, was unable to ap
penr and resume his testimony yester?
day. John E. Bowe, Commissioner oi'
Public Works, who was acting Borough
President in Mr. Van Narae's absence.
was before the grand jury. Assistant
District Attorney Norton, after ad
journment, said that he would call
Jacob Brenner, Federal receiver for
the Midland company, before the grand
jury to-day, and also would submit a,
preliminary report from the books o?
the company and call as witnesses sev?
eral residents from different parts of
tho island affected by the discontinu
ance of service.

Why This Shift
About Russia
Overuight?
DO you know why this shift was rnade over
night? Do you know why the United
States allowed itself to be drawn by Europe
into a Russian policy for two years, only to be_
left holding the sack? If the new policy of
trading with Russia is the right one, why have the people of
the United States allowed themselves to be so long misled?
What Does It Mean?

"Paris, January 16th?The
Allies will reopen commercial re?
lations with the Russians at once.
This momentous decision was
taken here late today and com
pletely revcrses the former Allied
poiicy of a pacihe blockade."
A thousand questions are in your mind and in ours. Is
the Bolshevist army a real fighting power or ashambungcrew?
T ? t?a,ns *re back of it? Where are the Czars old Generals?
Is the Red Army for defense or for a great drive on Europe
and Asia? Are the peasants really supporting the Bolshevists?
What was Bolshevism in 1917? What is it now? Are
ignorant peasants and workmen managing great factories or has
industry been put back under the control of experienced tech
mcal men? Are the peasants working land in a coramunistic
system or are they holding it in private ownership? Are chil?
dren brought up by the state instead of by their parents? Do
men and women marry?
Is Eastern Siberia to be cut off as a new State under
permanent Japanese domination? Is Great Britain preparing to
deal with the Soviet Government following the Qfting of the
blockade? Is it to be peace or war with the Soviet Government?
If war, are we to send an army? If_peace, wiU we recoguizo
the Soviet Government?
