Julian'a story how he utarted a life of crime at so tender an age la amazing. Home conditions In his case sre fairly typical. His family, con-sistinK of a mother and a father and an older sinter, is poor, and the youngster wanted money for candy and the movies. "J'ete tnid us an easy way to got money." Julian frankly stated. "The easiest thfntf was to steal pigeons.

We could climb up fire escapes to the top floor and gTab the pigeons off the roof. Some times we got $1 a pair Tor them. According to the police, the children were given 1.10 for a pair of prize pigeons valued at $8 from I'ete. who, it Is presumed, had no difficulty In disnosine of them at a higher price. The ateallng, however, waa not limited to pigeons.

The youthful bandits, at the direction of this "F'ete. are responsible for at least 40 robberies in Ireenpoint stores within the last six months. Advanced Money on Future Thefts. "Pete" exerciaed Bo much control over the children because of his "generositv." "If we grabbed a bunch of groceries from a store," Daniel's story goes on, "and brought them down to Pete, he would five us money for them. Lots of times when we had hard luck and couldn't get In a place Pete would lend us money and then we would have to work the next night to make up what we owed him." In thnt manner Pete always hod the children under hin control.

A glance Into the homes of these youthful robbers shows how such conditions oro possible. Take the rase of Johnny. His last name li unpronounceable and doesn't matter anyhow. Johnny is not a member of Julian's gang. He was with the other crowd arrested in the upper section Ireenpoint.

He is unable to work. Only the mother's earn ings In the hotel support the family of six. When she is out orking how can she watch her boy, she asks In a hopeless sort of fashion. Itlanies Had Bad boys In the neighborhood led her boy astray, the mother says. She tion, had never cared much for thd McLaughlin way of running the Po lice Department.

It was not much what he did In the way of raiding the district clubs few hold tho belief that Pete McOulnness oC Creenpoint had proved personally stronger than McLaughlin but It was h's whole sttltuds toward district leaders. When they came to him with minor requests for a transfer of a detective, the promotion, of a policeman, something like that he waa "not at home." If a district leader cannot even see the Police Commissioner to make request for a favor, why, argues the district leader, what Is the use of having a Police Commissioner of your own party at headquarters? Among the rank and file of tho Police Department there waa nothing but regret at Commissioner McLaughlin's announced going. In the 13 months In which he has held control a new tradition had been establlHheiamong them. Men in uniform irnd plain clothes learned that an outstanding act of daring ot? clever police work earned prompt commendation from the Commissioner commendation and promotion. This was a new thing, and a fine one, in the Police Department of the City of New York.

Future Is Vncertain. What troubles them now is what will happen to the department under McLaughlin's successor, whoever he may prove to be. Will the old system be restored, under which promotion came, -not because you were a good man, but because a politician put In a good word for you? Would the police morale go out with tha Commissioner who built It up In a few active months? Would all the McLaughlin reforms go a-glim-merlng with it? There were some BOO "armchair policemen" when McLaughlin took the reins, favorites who had been given soft. and useless office I berths, whom the present Commls- sloner sent out to do police work on the streets. Would they be returned to their office chairs? There was a special "service" squad of 8H3 men, creation of Klch-srd Enrlght when he was Commissioner under Mayor Hylan.

Would these, dispersed by McLaughlin, be recalled now and once more be given roving commission to "suppress" crime anywhere In the city's limits?

According to Assistant District At torney Thomas Craddock Hughes, Lang mulcted half a dozen Inventors of $100,000 by persuading h's sweet heart, Louise Comnola, and Iv-r brother. Thomas, to sign the nam oh of property ownora to the deed.

173d the Bronx; John If. Hagerty, 16 Essex Brooklyn, and Harrington L. Brnnnon, 274 Smith Brooklyn. Miss Louise Compola, 26t of ft 5 K. 18lt tho Bronx, told the Jury he and Lang had been sweethearts for a year before he waa arrested early this year in Montreal.

But the defendant elected not to cross-examine her. even though Clark (iordon, his counsel, believed her testimony might save him from a 20-year sentence. Mias Compola testified that last October, at Lang'a request, she hud sipned other persons' natm-H to a number of deeds nnd acknowledged the signatures before a notary but did nut realize thut she was doing wrong. The prosecution is arguing that Lang used Mlaa Compola and her brother Thomas a a dupes, introducing them to prospective investors as owners of property that belonged to some one else.

An arrangement was reached with Sheriff Quinn to avoid this during the trial, scheduled to begin April 11. All sorts of wild stories are coming up these days. It is harder now to separate truth from fiction than it was to learn about the confessions last week. And a curious thing about the whole situstion Is that James T. Hat-Mnan, attorney for Gray, does not seem to know whether he is in the case or out of it.

He refuses to talk, among other things telling all in till 1 have the terviewers to right to talk. L. Miller, who Meanwhile Samuel is not a criminal was a student, the Mother Superior tells a different story. "It Is as much the parents fault as the children says the Mother Superior. "The children play hookey.

I send the truant oftVr around and the mother lies. Hhe tells him the boy is sick when she knows he is not. What kind of an example does a child have? We spend hours tell-Ine them how wrong It i to lie and then they see their mothers lie for them." Mother Wanted Him to Work. The Mother Superior said Johnny was an ordinary student. He was In the Seventh Orsde and his mother was anxious for him to be 15.

so h1 could leave school and get working papers. "Johnny came to our school from tHe public school a year the Mother Superior said. "He went to church eery morning, and seemed to be fairly good. He must have gotten in with some bad boys." The worst situation, the Mother Superior said siie had to face, was that of larger boys recently released from Institutions being put In the school with younger children. Mothers Shouldn't Work Nights.

"We would have no trouble with children like that," said she, pointing to a group of smlllng-faced little boys and girls of 6 or 7 chanting their A C's. "They would grow up to be useful. God-fearing citizens." the nun went on, "if they did not meet the older children who have been in trouble and are required to come back to school afterward until they are 16. They set the bad examples. The Mother Superior thinks it ts a mistake for mothers to work all night and are in this way unable to watch their children.

"I sermonize to them," said the Mother. "I ask them what they need the money for. They should stay home and mind their children." Hic-h Man Kays "It's Nothing." It Is not the foreign mother's fault, however. Take Johnny's mother. for instance.

Last night, at her work In the hotel she was crying. A young man, whose room she was tfdng up, was feeling a liitle exuberant. "He HKked me what was the matter, for why I cried," the mother ex-plulnel. "I told him my little John ny wan taken away by detectives, lie only laue.h and say he was arrested tht dv too, for speeding and gave me nil." Of course. Johnny's mother doesn't get $10 tips every day.

And as she said: "What good is money whop Johnny's taken away? Hut anyway. rich man paid It was nothing." Sinclair Seeks New Trial In Senate Contempt Case Waahing-ton; March 30 (A?)

With but one or two minor details to be cleared up before the State's murder case cemented, the trail turned toward Broadway yesterday. That Knyder suspected his wife had men friends now seems certain.

That he had trouble with a particular nian friend In 1924 Is equally certain. That man has been Identified ua Henry Judd Gray, but dray's attorneys, with great vehemence, have denied emphatically thut it actually was he. Had Asked for Wife. Yet, the police have learned that Snyder, two or three weeks before his murder, visited a restaurant near Rroadway and asked for Information about a woman he said was his wife. He described Mrs.

Snyder. He aHked at that restaurant, which 1m, by the way, not one of the gay white lik'ht eating places, if the woman had been in there with a man at any time. In a cabaret of the has known type, he also anked for his wife and ftman." What Information he got from either place eould not be learned. The restaurant, however, could have given him some informa tion, because last night the Hnyder case and the f.ict that Mrs. Snyder often visited the place were topics of co ve rsa i on re The rentaurant is just off rtro'td-way on 36th st.

That Gray and Mrs. Snyder frequently lunched together was well krrown, of course. But it was not until last night that It became known that Snyder had visited the place, seeking Information. It was evident, however, from his quest ions that ho did not know the man who lunched with his wife. The question of whether Snyder knew Gray before he was murdered Is asuming greater importance each day.

It must be remembered that Mrs. Snyder's defense is to be that her husband waa murdered during a fight and that she tried to stop Gray. If Snyder actually knew Gray before he was murdered nnd woke tip In a drunken ruge that night to tind him leaning over the bed, tho defense of Mrs. Snyder is strengthened, it Is said.

Kit her way. however, it appeared certain today that Gray Is going to have to fight two distinct accusation when he goes into court on April 11. He will have to battle the State, that Is coiner to aay he murder Snvder in plot with Snyder's wife. And he will have to fight Mrs. Sny-ider, who is going to say that Gray was the sole murderer.

And if It can be proved that Snyder knew Mrs. Snyder had been roaming around to restaurants and cabarets with Gray. Gray is going to face the peculiar situation of having the State, on some small details nt least, aligned with Mrs. Snyder agsinst him. The defense for the woman ts going forward much more rapidly theso days than the defense for the man.

BURGLAR SUSPECT TRAPPED IN HOUSE BY-POLICE ROOKIE A rookie policeman stalked an alleged burglar through the home of Samuel Cohen at 570 E. 7th st.

Approximately 100 American missionaries are refusing to leave their posts in the Yangtze valley, notwithstanding the advice of the American authorities and in the face of a sit uation that Is fraught with danger- ous possiuiiuies. Most Are cn-Route to Shanghai. The remainder of the missionaries are either en route to or will shortly leave for Shanghai, where the International Settlement Is affording a haven of refuge from the fury of riotous mobs In ports and inland towns along the Yangtze River. As the refugees continue to stream into the International Settlement here, those in command of the foreign defense forces are leaving nothing undone to assure their protection, The barriers separating the settlement from the native city art constantly inspected and protected, and any signs of encroachment are quickly investigated. There is close collaboration between the various commanders.

Warren, bow Commis sioner of Accounts, to the Commis-sioncrshlp of the Police Department, the man-in-the-street asks: "Who is he? What has he done to warrant his appointment to a post even more important so far as the actual weal and woe of the community Is concerned than the Mayoralty itself?" Mr. Warren, as a matter of fact, is something of a man of mystery. He is the onlv member of Mayor Walker's cabinet who has kept himself almost completely out of the public eye. As Walker's former law partner and intimate friend of many years standing he of course enjoys the Mayor's confidence as no other man does. Just the same, the Mayor's alleK-d choice of him as successor to Police Commissioner McLaughlin, genei hHv acknowledged to be the ablest Police Commissioner New York has ever had.

has aroused si much public Interest as Mr. McLaughlin's sudden and totally unexpected resignation. In official quarters outside of the Mayor's office Mr. Warren is not looked upon as strong man for he Police Commissioner's Job. it is said that Mayor Walker prefeis to take over the reins of the Pollre Department himself so far as he can.
