In fact, she an? nounced her determination to Magis? trate W. Bruce Cobb in nfght court last j night. Her battle was inaugurated yester- j day afternoon when 6he and her hus- | band, Frank, started out on a little j private jamboree from their home, at ! 211 West Sixty-sixth Street. They' embarked on their adventure aboard a ! roving taxicab. and by the time they I arrived at Seventy-?fth Street, on ! Fifth Avenue, open hostilities were ' declared upon the taxidriver by the young couple. Both quit the taxicab and refused to pay the fare. This open act of war attracted a crowd, and finally Patrol- j man McGrath, of the East Sixty- i seventh Street station, who took the J Mackioses to Night Court on a charge i of disorderly conduct. To Magistrate Cobb they both ? pleaded guilty to being intoxicated and j said they were "out for a good time," j but were verry sorry. "Well," said the magistrate, "that! will mean taking your finger prints." "I won't have mine taken," an-| hounced Mrs. Macklose with deter- I mination. I "D?.> I understand you mean that?" | queried the magistrate. "Well," replied the former, "the only , way you'll get them will be over my '' dead body." "if yuu don't submit," said Magis- \ trate Cobb, "I will have to send you to ! a cell." "I don't care if you send me away! for life," replied Mrs. Macklose, now . thoroughly aroused. "I have committed no crime, and I know it. My conscienc? will tell me when I have committed a crime, and until then I won't have my ; ringer print taken." In the mean time her less heiliger- ? ent spouse had quietly submitted and. paid his $5 fine. Turning to him with a fiery look Mr-:. Macklose said: "Here, Frank, take this kej Co home and look after the fiat. ["hey are not going to get my finger print.' "Now. madam,'' said the magistrat?; in a conciliatory tone, "my finger prints I are on file " ' ?That may be," s ne replied, "but ! they weren't put there for disorderly l conduct, and you are not going to get ' ? ?." j "Well, then, you will hare to spend' the night in a cell," said the magis? trate; "because you are a woman I am' not going to give you any special con- ' a ?deration.'' Mrs. Macklose went to the cell. Voorhies to Serve as Shipping Commissioner ?. Hoover Names Ex-Brooklyn Postmaster for Place Made Vacant by Quinn's Removal Edmund W.

Paymaster William O'Toole was alone in the office when the bandits entered. The men being paid were admitted one at a time as their nafres were called through a window. Sud? denly O'Toole was confronted by two men. Failing- to realize at first that the intruders were robbers, the pay? master shouted at them to take their turns and enter singly as ordered. "Put up you paws!" retorted one "you ain't givin' orders just, now." The money intended for the workers was in two canvas bags. Cine of tue bandits seized these while the other kept O'Toole covered with two re? volvers. The man with the money backed through the office door, fol? lowed by his companion, who continued to cover O'Toole until he reached the threshold, when he ordered the pay? master to sit down. Trio Scatter and Flee "Now stay there for ten minutes.' he ordered. "If you make a move be? fore that time I'll come back and blow your head off." The third robber had remained out? side, holding two revolvers on tht twenty-five longshoremen. The thre* then backed slowly across Twelfth Ave nue, still covering the line of workers Reaching the far side of the street; they ran in different directions. Longshoremen, led by O'Toole, pur sued two of the bandits, who still wen in sight, running in opDosite direction. in Fortieth Street. One ran towari Eleventh Avenue and the other towari the river. The third disappeared be tween buildings in Fortieth Street. An alarm was telephoned to Wes Thirtieth Street police station and de tectives arrived within a few minute? Information was hard to obtain be cause most of those who had witnes.se the hold-up were in pursuit of its per petrators. No trace of the three wa found. Drew $2,500 From Bank O'Toole told the police he dre .'2,500 from a bank to pay hii hel yesterday before noon. About half th men had been paid, he thought, whe the bandits appeared. O'Toole remerr bered seeing three men in the vicinit of the bank who seemed to be obsen ing his actions. He described them r young, apparently not. more tha twenty-five years old, wearing ca; with the peaks pulled down over the eyes. It. was said one of the robber? ha been recognized by a longshoreman. Thomas Doyle, hotel supply man ? Fifty-first Street and First Avenu Brooklyn, was held up yesterday 1 three ?irmed bandits in Fifty-fir Street, near Bush Terminal docks, ai robbed of $500 in currency. Two su pects were captured by Patrolmi William McMahon, who recovered sum matching the money Doyle d ciared he lost.

As Nelson still refuged start his engine the robbers tun and ran into the freight yards of Bush Terminal, where McMahan ov took them. One of the trio was h by McMahon gnd subdued after a l minute fight. A recond was captu by the two detectives, who overt him in their automobile. The th escaped.

Three robbers held up ?.he tic agent on a platform of the Desbro: Street elevated station Thursday ni arwi at the points of their guns tained $78 and escaped. The crime reported yesterday. Hundreds of dollars were saved the agent, who refused to open a s but he lost $10 of his own money, ta by the bandits in revenge for his s bornness. A ticket chopper, who cro: from the opposite platform to 1? what was happening, was re?evec $15. The robbery took place at ten o'cl a time when the station rarely is serted, and when trains are runnim, a seven-minute headway.

The injured men _>jrr to Bellevue Ho.plta_? Sands \r, h liavi ? ' h.d name ? of suspe dpa! for the French gang also was dis? covered to-day by federal authorities. The revelations were, contained in a series of documents taken from Ru? dolph E. Kohn, head of the American Rubber Company, a mushroom corpora? tion which had its birth in a dingy raincoat -hop in East Sixty-third Street. The documents included an? other $500,000 in "air castle" securi? ties. Among the documents were a com-' plete file of letters and telegrams from ! French to Kohn ar..i vice versa, from ! May 27" until August 12 of the present year. The letters will be used to prove; that Kohn and French both knew that\ their transactions were illegal, as through them ail runs a streak of I grim humor at the "outwitting" of the : authorities. On May 17 French acknowledged receipt of $106,000 worth of Kohn'<* notes. "It is understood that I have ! full authority to use or cause to bo used any or all of said notes in any? way that I deem advisable," th? letter ' says, and then goes on to promise that \ when the notes fall due French will supply funds to pay them. Two days later French wired Kohn that he was on his way to Chicago. He came, they had a conference and French returned to Dayton, where he stopped at the Hotel Miarmi. On June 0, French sent Kohn two $5,000 notes on the Mackey Tire & Truck Company and the R. K. Strobel Real Estate Company, of Akron. "Am also sending notes to Strelzin (A. L. Strelzin, of Milwaukee.," he said. And then continues: "These notes are; good." Sent Notes to Cover Kites To Strelzin on the same day he en? closed $20,000 of "Good Akron' paper." "You car U3e these," Fr?.-nch wrote. "in covering the 'kite' to Cleveland; and account to me for what you don't use. I enclose $6,000 of 'Master Tire paper.' Endorse this paper, paying a I bonus on it if necessary. Mail the M?s'er Tire on Saturday, two Mil? waukee checks?any Milwaukee checks will do?one for $3,127.83 and one for j $2,172 17. Th?* checks must reach them Monday morning." On June 12, Strelzin wired French at Cievelar.d asking for "$10,000 goo?! : rated paper." French, writing that night to Kohn, said: "There is no pos? sibility of me sending him what he < asks foi !r does not exist. I have, plenty of notes?but tney are none of ; them better than th?1 one? ? sent him."' Then came much discussion of the pro? posed purchase of a bank in Milwaukee ?the same bank which is now strenu? ously denying the proposed deal. "1 must make certain that the men who : go into that bank are men who will do just what I tell them to do," French says. "Fishburn, of Los Angeles will be presiden*. The rest I don't know ?yet." June 20 French wired Kohn: "Now promised bank credit from Dayton Wednesday. Arrange to cover -Strelzin without fail." June 22 French was chuckling, yet raiht-r grieved, over reports given out at Dayton about him. "One man here asked for a Dun's report on me last week," he says. "The only true state- j ment made in it was that I use private | cars and spend a great deal of money. Tt stated that ! was wholly unreliable,, utterly unworthy of belief or credence by any one and a very dangerous man j for any one to have anything to do with. Hoffr:t7. got a copy of it by | having it read out loud to himself by! a Dun's man while a concealed stenog- I rapher took it down in shorthand. It; hasn't worked, though. Several very: good contracts are well under way to-' night. But?those two checks must not con:-' hack. That would probably en-J able the agencies to so discredit me as ! to destroy all that has been done here.; I know that banks here have received warning to beware of me themselves! and to caution customers to have noth? ing to do with me." Instruction on Kiting Contracts Then come the page.? of detailed! instruct * to Kohn on "kiting con-; 'rae*-'" and then: "Gerber and I spent, two hours with directors of a large' manufacturing concern to-day. It wants at [east $200,000. That will | make a contract with us for $1,500,000. We hop?- to get it closed this week. : These men knew all about Dun's re? port, but one of them lives :ri Canton and knows my Mr. Davis very well. He ridiculed the theory that any friend of Davis could be wrong, At any necessary cost or effort held those two checks in Milwaukee. Whether paid or not, 1 do not care. But hold then . Go easy en, the telephone. Operators are often ordered to listen in on tele? phone messages to or from me." From then until June 27 French'*; letters are full of worry. "Thing- are hanging by a hair here to-night." he says in ane of them. And in th?* mean? time Kohn bad sold a thirty-day note of the Master Tire & Truck Company, which had been given to French for sale for th?- company. The funds had been used by Kohn. "it will certainly cause an explosion if that thirty-day ? note comes here for collection," French wrote on June 29 "I had no right to use the two notes for $3,000 each." Again, on July 1: "There'll be real trouble here if that, note isn't covered forthwith ir some way and the second one cither returned or covered." On July 3 French is found kiting a check for the president of the Consoli? dated Automobile Company for $3,000 to "help him around a corner." And then some more details on cheek** and1 notes and finally an appeal: "Spare no effort to get a few thousand for my expense account." Hit by Spur-rin Rank Failure From then until July '21 there ar. -i score of letters, minutely detailed advices on the check kiting scheme. The?* came the failure of the Spurgin Bank. Kohn wn te this to French: "My account ?n this bank was opened for the : irpos ol checking, and ? deposit?

Hungarian Treaty Promulgate PARIS, Aug. 26. The Trian? Treaty, by which a state of war b tween Hungary and the Allies w ended, was promulgated here ti lay Bodies of Two More Found In ZR-2 Wreck Albert W. Loftin. American] Mechanic, ami British Sergeant Vre Recovered; 3d Slips Back Into River Brief Inquest Is Held Further Inquiry 1* Put Off Until Lieut. Wann, in a Hospital. Can Testify HULL, Aug. 2o (By The Associated Press1. The recovery from the wreck of the ZR-2 tj?-day of two more bodies, those of Albert L. Loftin. an American . mechanic, and Flight Sergeant A. P. Martin, of the British crew, and the rear recovery of another, which slipped from the mass of wreckage just after it was brought to the surface, gave hop?" to thi searchers and officials that they would soon be able to '"m?i other; missing members of the crew. As the salvagers continued their work another chapter'in the tragedy was writer, when the coroner's inquest opened on the bodies o? Lier* Marcus H. Esterly, of Washington; Lieutenant. Charles ?,! Little, of New buryport, Mass., and Lieutenant R. S. Montague, of the British personnel. The session, however, was brief, and after the taking of some evidence *d journment '?*? as had until October 4.1 The formality enabled the coroner to issue burial certificates **o that the '..odies could be taken away. Further inquiry is impossible at present, owing to the lack of evidence and tha fact that th? most important witness. Flight Lieutenant A. H. Wann, is still in a hospital, where he must remain, for an oth r fortnight. Expresses Sympathy of City The American air force was repre? sented by Lieutenants John B. Law? rence, Joseph B. Anderson and Wil? liam R. Taylor. A number of British officers were present. John H. Grout, the American Consul at Hull, also was Vice-Coroner Jackson, who presided over the inquest in the quaint ol?I Guildhall, opened with an expression of sympathy on behalf of the court and the city to the relatives of the dead in America and England. Lieutenant Taylor identified the two Americans in a voice which shook with emotion. A British air officer identitied Lie utenant Montague. One point brought out was that the airship had never been officially named ZR-2, but was still the R-38. The coroner, for the purpose of record, asked Vice-Admiral A. V. Vivian, of the British Air Service, about this, and he replied that she was the R-H8, to which Lieutenant Taylor, who was in the box. nodded his head. From early morning the salvagers were ai the r work among the age. Th yd to be the remains of the forward of the ship, where most : the mem? bers of the crew were on dutj the dirigible -.-.-?: \ hug ? a- crane _ as p. ice i ii osit middle of the Humber River, and with apparatus part of the wreckage will bo Ii fte i to-morrow. Up to to-daj it had been impc - to identify the masses of f -a - ' ' nging to arty part section of the ship, except the Ar.:\r I girders of the tail, which pr undamaged above ? ? -?. showing that the ship crs ? ?? ? per pendicularly into the river. It was from the tat! of the dirigible that the survivors escaped. It is reportea by the salvage work? ers that they have been able to locate the remains of hut two of the six gondolas. This leads to the belief that the violence of the explosion blew the center gondola to pieces and threw the others away frcoa the s"?ip and that the remains of them may be found by dredging the vicinity of the wreck. An official announcement issued by the river and harbor authorities this morning, which said that the wreck is 488 feet from shore on a shoal, which at low tide is covered by only two feet of water, lends proof to thetheoryth.it the gondolas were destroyed, otherwise they could be seen at low tide. River craft have been ordered by the authorities to keep a sharp look-out ?'.it bodies and wreckage.

Republican leaders in Congress assure us that there will be thirty-five dollars more for every family to spend on food or clothes, in spite of the repeated predictions from government authorities that our tax burdens can only be shifted, not lifted, the House Ways and Means Committee believe they have found the ways and means to make a reduction from the present tax schedules, estimated at from six hundred mil? lion dollars to eight hundred million dollars, chiefly by drastic cuts in expenditures with a mini? mum change in taxation methods. The Republicans?editors and statesmen- are enthusiastic over their success in meeting the great popular demand for a lightening of the tax burden. The Ruffalo Express 'Re}).) declares a good day's work was done by the Ways and Means Com? mittee in the preparation of this bill. Senator Capper's Topeka Capital (Rep.), which reaches a large rural constituency, says "a bill that reduces taxes by half a billion dollars, abolishes 'nuisance taxes," cuts travel expenses and gives relief to heads of large families has a good deal to commend it." The curtailment of expenditures in order to keep taxes down is hailed by the New York Journal of Commerce as the "first great .?step towards solvency."' On the other hand, the Democrats contend that the taxpayers' hopes in this bill are illusory, that the chief beneficiary will be the rich man. and that '"to cut taxes by running in debt'' is simply a "confidence game."
