Crooked Politicians, Mixed in Bond Theft's, Warned for Financing Flight. , 'FENCES' ARE PROTECTED Noted Gambler in Ohio Me tropolis Also Said to Have Heceivcd Stolen Securities. Corrupt Cleveland politicians wero ald last night to have aided not only In tho disposal of vast quantities of securities stolen in tho financial district here, but also to have' financed tho flight of "Nicky" Arnstcln, "Big Nick" Cohen and other principals In thoso thefts. Tho connection has been discovered through an Investigation that prlvato detectives have been carrying on for weeks In tho underworld of Cleveland, as well as by Inquiries Into the doings of certain profes sional men of that city. A high city official or Cleveland has been discovered to have been a customer of a brokerage house through which many stolen stocks passed. Another of ficial Is said to be a frequent visitor at a gambling house run by "Cheeks" or "Roughy" OInsbursr, a friend of Cohen and Arnsteln, who has been mentioned frequently In testimony given In con nection with the case. A telephone call that summoned one of Arnstcln's lawyers to Cleveland to see him was traced later to Otnsburg's room In the Hotel Wlnton. It was also Ginsburg who several months ago dis posed of $50,000 worth ot Liberty bonds that were discovered afterward to be a part of the loot of Bennlc Ulnkowltz, the murdered bank messenger. Fnffltlvea Hide In Woman's Home. For a while the band of politicians Is said to have kept the two "Nlckles" concealed In tho homo of a notorious Cleveland woman. They are reported to have done much to throw the officials of this citv off the scent of tho "Nlckles" and other suspects. Saul S. Myers, attorney for tho Amer ican and British surety companies that are seeking to cet the fugitives, said the two "Nlckles"4 switched most it their busi ness to Cleveland after the firm of Sullivan & nowlc ot 10 Wall street had been closed by the District Attor ney. That was In November, and from that time until February Arnsteln and Cohen are alleged to liavo dealt with vari ous Cleveland "fences," which have thrived under protection of certain oV ficlals. To date not a man or wonutn connected with the bond plot has been Investigated who had net some Cleve land connection. Mr. Myers said that the stocks turned over by the two "Nlckles" to Sullivan & Bowles aro certain to result In much litigation. All have been found In banks in Philadelphia and Washington, whore Sullivan & Bowles pledged them ns col lateral on loans, and these banks will not return them unless ordered to do so by a court of proper Jurisdiction. Many suits are In preparation now for their recovery. The total value of these stocks Is up ward of $600,000. They were pledged with tho banks for $230,000. Half of this went to Wllen W. Easterday and the firm of Sullivan & Bowles. The other half went to the two "Nlckles." The latter gave about $20,000 to Joseph Gluck, who turned the stock over to them, and Gluck gave $900 to the mes sengers who originally stole a large part of the securities. j 53,000,000 Bond Thefts Ilereanont Bond thefts within the last year in this part of the country are said to total I I $3,000,000. More than half of the loss has been sustained by the brokers be cause thefts exceeded the amount of their Insurance. Tho remainder of the loss has been borne by the surety companies. "Morty" or ".Mortle" Burns, who was sought by detectives on Thursday as a principal In the bond theft plot, was said yesterday to have died on April 11 In. the Lenox Hill Hospital from a tumor of the lungs. A death certificate bearing his correct name. Mortimer nernatein. Is I on file with the Department of Health. Detectives who had prevfciusly thought , that the report of"".Morty's" death was a ruse questioned members of his family ' yesterday and It Is expected that they will be called as witnesses In an effort to I trace stolen stocks that he received. An examination made yesterday of the records ot the Post-Graduate Hospital tended to corroborate the testimony of Joseph Gluck that heL went there with "Big Nick" Cohen last September to give stolen stock to "Morty." The latter was a patient there from September 6 until October 6. The re-eJtamlnatlon of "Big Eddie" Furcy and James Kean, scheduled for yesterday, was postponed until this morning. "Nick'' Cohen's sister Raye may also be called to-day before Alex pnilr Gilchrist, Jr., United States Com missioner. DEATH AUTOMOBILE STRIPPED OF TIRES Two Men Accused of Robbing Wrecked Machine.

Both are said by the police to have confessed. Coroner VI t LUW LK UUUUlNU FOR MOTHER'S DAY EV- p fj. . tlortsl promise Not to Tilt Cost of Carnations. Alarm 'among the florists of the city over the proposal to observe Mother's day in other ways than the purchase of carnations reached such a point yester day that a special meeting was called In the shop of Max Schllng, president of the United States Florists, Inc., Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street.

In any case It Is tit least an evi dence ot good will." Frank Hedley. president of the Inter borough, replied and said that Mr. Ma loy was n man among men, or words to that effect, and that the check will bo added gratefully to-the Sunshine Fund which benefits tho company's em ployees. When Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien saw copies of thla correspon dence he scoffed at It and said, "An- other plant !" But when he gazod upon i tho photostat facsimile of Mr. Maloy's check, which the company had taken for Just such a contingency, he only mur mured "Humph!"

RICHMOND COMPANY HAS JUMP ON HYLAN Gets Injunction Erovcnting Interference With 0 Cent Faro Service. CITY HEADS PERPLEXED Corporation Counsel O'Brien Is Puzzled Over Wny to Retaliate. City officials still wero perplexed' last night as to what to do about fighting the eight cent faro on tlio lines of thed Richmond Light and Railroad Company. Corporation Counsel John I1. O'Brien, after devoting another day to trying to obey Mayor Hylon's command for re taliatory action, admitted last night ho had not yet discovered ho way to do It "You can say I nm going Into court, though," said Mr. O'Brien. "No, I' don't know Just yet whnt court." What the city did do, however, to the amusement ot tho Public Service Commission and traction officials, was to vent Its wrath upon the feeble and Inert Midland Railway Company, the other Statcn Islaivd road which has been unable to operate for weeks and has no Intention of trying to. Mr. O'Brien went to the Supreme .Couit and got a writ of prohibition to stop the Iubllc Scrvlco Commission from giving tho Midland lines a similar permission to charge an eight cent fine. Jacob Brenner, receiver of tho company, al ready had declared It was Idle for him to supply for any faro benefits as the company lias nyssed the ninety day limit of Inactivity and Its franchise ac cordingly Is forfeited. To fortify ItMdf Kgalnst tho still de ferred attack by the city, tho Richmond I.I slit and Railroad Company also ol talncdan Injunction preventing any In "Ram it home as hard as you like," says our Cloth ing Man. "Tell 'em our showing of fine foreign woolens was never more generous. "Not only got our usual yardage, but landed Scot tish and English woolens at prices under those of do mestic fabrics of 'less fine quality." That's one reason why we are able to offer cloth ing for men and boys of precisely the same high standard of ante-bellum years At prices no more than is asked elsewhere for quality not nearly so good. If you've been dogging the steps of fashion You've seen our young men's oxfords! Custom-made effects. Some plain, but plainly smart, as well as others of more marked design, such as our winged cordovans. All, all-leather, of course. Sport shoes, including one for golf (either high or low) of a leather that dries soft, even after an all day's play on wet links. Moaeyback, anytime, if you want it. ,t I "ts;." terference with operation ot cars under the eight cent faro. Judge Chattleld of tne Brooklyn supremo court signea tins Injunction and It was served on the Mayor and on Comptroller Charles L. Craig, a fact which developed one of jesterday's Board ot Estlmato aeoatea. Both officials were Indignant, as well ns Grover A. Whalen, who has charge of the Hylan bus system and who feared Uio Injunction might mean that tho city must stop operating buses In competi tion with tho Richmond lines. Mr. Craig sarcastically remarked that mnybe tho Injunction affected conversa tion, too. Whereupon Hlrioner pro claimed In the tono of a martyr, "It It docs, then I am ready to go to Jail." "And I am ready to go to Jail, too," said F. 11. La Ounrdla, Aldermanlc President, upon a tnom'.-iit's reflection. Mr. O'Brien considered tho Injunction only "a matter of form." Asked for his opinion of the city's power to Increase tho bus equipment, Mr. O'Brien, who has only been Corporation Counsel a few weeks, sought refugt In saying he preferred "to tako the matter under ad visement." Pending which, that propo sition was laid on the table. Tho city's writ ogalnst tho Public Service Commission will be returned Tuesday beforo Justice Whlttaker in the Supreme Court when the question of making It permanent will be argued, Tho city has nearly closed negotiations with the Midland's receiver to tako over tho rood and run It, however, Mr. La Guardln said yesterday. Dr. Louis A. Dreyfus, president of the Statcn Island Civic League, declared yes terday that he was gratified at tho eight cent fare, nnd that tho company de served It. Moro patronage was won bark by tho trolleys during the day. al though tho buses continued to deprlvo the oars of many former customers. A few passengers refused, to pay the eight cent fare, It was reported. Talk of a tenewed strike by employees of tho company subsided completely last night when, after a conference with Capt. J. J. Kuhn. receiver of tho road, tho mcn,'s executive officials reported at n mass meeting thnt they had reached and signed an agreement for one year. Tho mafia meeting, on learning the de tails, voted indorsement. Tho agreement provides pay of 00 cents an hour for tho first three months, 85 cehts for the next nine months and 60 cents thereafter, with increases If the company's financial condition permits. X Broadway at 13th Street Broadway at Warren Street MADMAN AT LARGE KILLS 1 AND STABS 3 Tailor, Taunted by Children, la Wild in Park. The taunts of children at play yester day In Soward Park, on the lower east side, maddened Philip Cooper, aged 36, a tailor out of employment, so that ho drew the weapons of his trade, scissors and a penknife, and slashed at thoso about him. Tho children eluded his rush easily, but Morris Nlmkofsky, aged 48, superintendent ot tho Forward Build ing, hurrying through tho park on busi ness, stepped directly In front ot the man, Nlmkofsky fell with the .scissors plungod Into his chest Just above tho heart. He died as ha was being carried to the Beth Israel Hospital. The sud denness of the nttack gave Cooper an opportunity to run unmolested through tho shocked crowd. He Jumped to tho running board of an automobllo passing- In East Broadway, slashing with tho knife at the nearest passenger, Louis Katz, 21 yearn old, of 344 Rodney street, Brooklyn. The blade sank Into Kntz's arm. In a moment Cooper Jumped free of the car. v Joseph Saud, ono of tho pursuers, caught up with Cooper and tried to throw on overcoat over the man's head, but tho madman Judged It and knifed Lorrls Lublnsky of 214 East Third street and Samuel Llpman ot 14 Jefferson street. A moment' luter Cooper was felled by a blow on the head from a file thrown by a carpenter who had Joined the chase. Tho crowd surrounded the stunned man and bcyan to beat him with fists, boot heels and sticks. Cooper was rescued by police reserves and was sent to Ucllcvue Hospital for observa tion.
