Booze Convay Rumors, Sheriff Amza Biggs. who began an investigation, was informed by Barney Baruth of 1855 W. 17th Manhattan, that the three men were on the way to Port Jefferson to convoy a load of booze which they were to meet there.

Detectives W. J. Hunt and Edward Tobin of the New York police visited the hospital at Huntington and then telephoned Inspector Coughlin that the men were not the ones wanted in the West End Bank murders case. Kraemer is being held as a material witness. "Dopey Bennie's" last appearance in a city court was in June, 1918.

when he was brought to the Domestic Relations Court on complaint of his father. Fein was ordered to pay $1 a week for the elder Fein's support. In 1914, in the Court of General Sessions in Manhattan, Benny was sentenced to five years in Sing Sing for second degree assault by Judge Malone. Back in 1912 Vein is alleged to have confessed to the police that he was contractor in getting gunmen to shoot men for other people. He said he made 000 a year at this trade.

The police continued their search for the three men accused of being the actual slayers of William Barlow and William McLaughlin, while fingerprints and photographs were broadcast throughout the country. Meanwhile, the District Attorney's office is devoting all its efforts to ascertaining the whereabouts of the stolen money. The identities of the three men are known. Their photographs and fingerprints have been broadcast. Police in other cities are warned--they are dangerous criminals, in all probability determined to hold their liberty at all costs.

police have recovered, so far, $12.100 of the stolen money. Detectives Stephen Donahue and Thomas Martin of the Homicide Squad returned today from Cleveland with $9.000 which Morris Diamond, held for murder in the killings, deposited in the Cleveland Trust Company on Nov. 22. This was, Morris has admitted, his share of the loot. Other Sums Recovered.

The other amonts recovered were $2,000 found a on Morris Diamond when the same detectives arrested bim last week in Cleveland, and 100 deposited by Morris Diamond in the Public National Bank, Pending further developments, which the police count on within a day or two, the stories of the three prisoners. Morris and Joseph Diamond and Anthony Joseph Pantano, are being checked up. There are discrepancies in the three stories, so Warden Harry Honeck has not permitted them to see each other. The Diamond brothers are in cells in the Raymond st. jail, in what is known as "murderers row." Pantano is on the other side of the building.

The Diamond brothers, the Warden said, comport themselves well, having recovered from the nervous wrench which the arrests and the grillings gave them: but Pantano, a youth of 23 and admittedly an amateur in the hard underworld, worries and frets and is haggard with nervousness. Donahue and Martin got in today with the money recovered in Cleveland, wrapped in brown paper and sealed with red wax. By authority of District Attorney Dodd they obtained the opening of safe deposit Box No. 961 in the Cleveland Trust Company on Wednesday afternoon. E.

L. Mason, vice president of the company, counted the contents and W. A. Rogers, another official, sealed it for the two detectives to deliver. Money in Seven Envelopes.

It consisted of $1.000 in $100- bills, $2,000 in $50-bills, $1,000 in $20-bills, $4,700 in $10-bills and $300 in $5-bills. Morris Diamond had deposited it in seven envelopes. The police believe that Morris Diamond originally deposited it in the Fifth National Bank, withdrawing it on Nov. 21 and taking it to Cleveland with him that night. The police are now convinced that Joseph Diamond accompanied Morris to Cleveland.

The detectives noticed that the register of the Statler Hotel bore, next to Diamond's signature, the name of J. which they believe was Joe Diamond's nom d'hotel. They were also informed by Ray Wardner, an assistant paying teller of the Cleveland Trust Company, that a man giving the name of "Kleimer" was there on Nov. 22 to have some small bills exchanged for large ones. He changed $4,700 worth of $5 and $1 bills into bills of larger denomination.

The police are investigating this end. Pantano's reputation in Bensonhurst was irreproachable. He appeared to be fond of his family and had caused them no trouble, according to Pasquale Pantano, his father, and was never known to drink. His mother is critically ill and not expected to live. The news of her son's arrest was kept from her.

Five Chain Stores Robbed. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. Nov. 30 Motor bandits have robbed Ave Roulston grocery stores in Nassau county since Monday. Three were entered on Wednesday night.

More than $1,000 was taken. The bandits--the police are convinced that the same gang is responsible for all of the burglaries -in every case had carried the safe away in a car, then hammered it open and left the empty box in a field. They have confined their work to the smaller villages- Ocean Side, Baldwin, Farmingdale, Valley Stream and Woodmere. At the Roulston store at Ocean Side they removed a window, carrled out the safe, weighing about 80 pounds, and broke it open with a hammer. After taking $210 they carried it as far as the Foxhurst where they threw it into a feld.

They went on 10 Baldwin, where they stopped at the Roulston store. They succeeded in breaking open this safe and taking the contents, about $100. and then left the safe in the road on Grand ave. The thieves then went on to Farmingdale, where they jimmied a window in the Roulston store. They carried out safe, which contained $312 in checks and money.

The safe was found on Central between Central Park and Hicksville. Two other burglaries occurred on Monday at Valley Stream, where the thieves got $543, and at Woodmere. William W. Phillips, Chief of Police of Nassau, believes the work that of professionals, who are making a concerted drive on the Roulston stores. He sees in cHAIr visit a upon Nassau because of the activity of the New York police in KU KLUX-LEGION CLASH DENOUNCED AT CEDARHURST Fight Over Klan Wreath at War Dead Memorial Called Outrageous.

Prominent citizens of Cedarhurst today branded the battle between the Ku-Klux Klan and the American Legion at the memorial monument dedicatory services yesterday afternoon as An "inexcusable and outrageous procedure which never should have happened." Sentiment is strong in Cedarhurst against the scrimmages between Klansmen and veterans when the Legion members tried to keep a Klan wreath away from the foot of the memorial. No one expected the slightest trouble when arrangements were made for the Thanksgiving Day service to dedicate the monument to the nine soldier dead from Cedarhurst and Lawrence. A large crowd had collected at the foot of the monument and Col. Cornelius Wickersham, local Legion head, was about to open the ceremonies when three men stepped forward and placed 8 wreath among the others in the inclosure. Wreath Demolished.

It bore a white card which said. "From Klan No. 4, N. The floral tribute occupied a conspicuous position and its beauty caught the eye of every one. Like wildnre word spread through the crowd that It was EL token of the Invisible Empire.

There was a buzz of excitement in the crowd and a veteran stepped forward and suggested that the Legion put the matter to a vote--should the wreath remain? Representatives of the Legion carried the motion to the wreath. A soldier and a remove sailor in uniform broke from the crowd and started for the monument. No sooner had they touched the floral piece than a group of men surrounded them. Over the protest of Colonel Wickersham the struggle waged. After a brief clash one of the Klansmen broke away and carried a wire framework strung with a few bits of cloth and placed it back in the enclosure, but not against the monument.

Bits of flowers torn to scraps strewed the ground. The demolished wreath was still a conspicuous figure, but not for its beauty. Rabbi's Speech Cheered. The crowd became quiet, the service was started by Colonel Wickersham and the first speaker, Rabbi Isaac Landman of Temple Israel, Far Rockaway, stepped forward. Before he could speak a man jumped up and shouted: "My boy died in the war as well as yours and I demand that the Klan wreath be put back on the monument." There was another tense moment and the crowd surged forward, packing closely around the two speakers.

Rabbi Landman hesitated a moment and then said: "I tell you that neither your son nor any of those boys whom we honor today died that American should be torn by racial hatred and religious conflict. These boys of heroic and hallowed memory gave their lives not. race nor creed nor color, but for the perpetuation of the American democratic ideal which knows only, citizens, not narrow sectarians." Before the cheers died away another concerted dash was made for the foot of the monument. The crowd was converted in a mass of fighting humans and the local police were swept along in the rush. Blows were exchanged and the pleading voice of Colonel Wickersham for order fell on deaf ears.

The ceremony, though disorderly the start to finish, was crammed with dramatic moments, and one of the most striking incidents occurred when a Gold Star Mother, white-faced but determined, stepped from the crowd and loudly wreath. Her words were drowned protested the presence of the Klan in the rush toward the monument but did much to precipitate the crisis at the outset. While varying estimates of size of the crowd are given, the number is placed at about 500. Services End in Disorder. The services broke up in disorder and both Klan sympathizers and Legion men left the scene.

The grass in Cedarhust Park was sadly trampled and soil at the base of the monument was heavily trodden with many footsteps. Three police officers stood guard and all through the night the Klan wreath lay in the inclosure just a few feet ahead of the other floral tributes. Colonel Wickersham says he feels with every right minded citizen that the entire procedure was outrageous. He says that if body wanted to remove the wreath he should have waited until night. "The incident was inexcusable," he declared.

The same expression was given by J. Hows Burton, prominent citizen of Cedarhurst. Report of Klan Banquet In Legion Hall Causes Big Stir at (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. Nov. 30-Rumors that the Ku-Klux Klan held a dinner in American Legion Hall on Thanksgiving Eve so incensed Col.

With the men of his force he went out on the road last night, looking for suspicious cars. The yeggs who have been making a play on the Roulston stores used a motorcar, which enables them to cover the field quickly.

State Troopers Injured. (Special to The Eagle.) Islip, L. Nov. 30-On their way in a motorcycle and sidecar to investiga' three burglaries, State Troopers William Brockman and Joseph M. Taylor were injured Wednesday when their machine collided near here with a motorcar driven by Joseph Hearh, of Great River.

After being attended by Dr. A. M. Baker, Brockman was taken to the South Side Hospital at Bay Shore, suffering from cuts and bruises. Taylor was able to go home.

The police believe that the three burglaries were accomplished by the same band of thieves, who, in their estimation, are beginners. The cigar store of Norman Phelan on Main st. was entered about 4 o'clock Wednesday morning and goods valued at $300 were stolen. The thieves cut a screen and forced a rear window.

Pantano is from a respectable and well-to-do family. He himself was admired and liked by his neighbors. He was industrious -he is still enrolled at Stuyvesant Hig hSchool in a night class---and he appeared to be honestly ambitious. "A good kid," they said of him in Bensonhurst.

SECOND RADIO TEST FROM BRITAIN HEARD BY ONLY FEW HERE Although air conditions were described as "exceptionally good" and although there was a minimum of interference on the part of broadcasting stations here the attempt of two English stations to reach this country last night was described by radio experts today as "not so good."

London, Nov. 30 (By the Associated Press) -Before the BritishAmerican Treaty designed to curb illicit liquor traffic in American territorial waters is concluded the Foreign Office desires to from Secretary Hughes more definite assurances that the Supreme Court will not overrule the right of British ships to take liquor stores into American ports under seal when intended for use on the homeward voyage. This is the reciprocal right Great Britain would enjoy for permitting the American authorities to seize British smugglers outside the three-mile limit. The British Government is concerned lest, after the treaty is enacted into law, the Supreme Court might on a test case reaffirm its ruling of April 30 last, decreeing that under the Volstead Act no liquor, whether foreign or domestic, may be brought within the territorial Witof the United States. This would strike a heavy blow to British trans-Atlantic liners, which, like the vessels of the United States lines, would be forced.

NO MORE DIRT THAN USUAL ON STAGE, DECLARES CARROLL "If reformers are particularly active against what they consider a wave of obscenity and nudity in the theaters this season, it is not because there is actually an increase in dirtiness and nudity but simply because there is at the moment an increase in activity among reformers," said J. H. Carroll of the Earl Carroll Theater in Manhattan today. "It is this activity that waxes and wanes, not the character of stage presentations.

So far as I can see there is no more dirt offered on the stage today than in other years. More noise is being made about the theater at the present moment, that's all. "And it is being made by the narrow minded only, No one has complained, for instance, against our show, except the reformers. Artists, dignifled old ladies, girls come to see it and find nothing wrong in it. Complaints all come from reformers who go to the theater looking for something that the regular theatergoer does not find." Deputy Police Commissioner John A.

Leach yesterday made plans to call together early next week seven groups of objectors to conditions in the theater with a view to bringing about concerted action against nudity and uncleanliness in revues and dramas. Among the actors themselves Fred Stone, Marie Dressler and Wilton Lackaye have declared themselves eager to clean up the theater. Commissioner Leach has not yet decided whether to complain against offenders to August W. Glatzmayer, Commissioner of Licenses, 80 that they may be brought before the citizens' jury, or to start Grand Jury action, Rabbi Simon R. Cohen, president of the New York Board of Jewish Ministers, has called a special meeting of the Board to discuss current stage performances.

PRESIDENT ORDERS COAL 'PLOT' PROBED Washington, Nov.

30-Acting on telegrams received from Governor Nestos of North Dakota and other citizens of that State, President Coolidge directed the Interstate Commerce Commission to make a special inquiry into allegations that increased freight rates on coal mined in North Dakota amounted to a conspiracy to destroy the State's coal mining industry.
