Puts His Trick Piece in Famous Gal- leries and Then Takes it Out Again, Paris, June 28—(DBy Associated Press.)—Joanny Durand, sculptor, and M. Leroux, journalist, were ar- rested this morning by a guardian of the Louvre, while trying to smnuggle ont of the famous art gallery a statue made by Durand and surreptitiously placed in the Louvre on June 23. The statue intended for the humor- ist's salon and representing M. Du- paquit, so-called mayor of the “free commune of Montmartre,” attired in bathrobe, stovepipe hat and frock coat stood for days with its smile di- rected at the famous Venus de Milo while visitors wondered. The direc- tor of the gallery decided to take to- day's incident in fun and asked that the artist and his friend be released. It was the first time since the Louvre palace was converted into an art gallery a living artist has got- ten one of his works into its collec- tion, the first condition of entry to Wwhich is that the artist be dead.

Hamilton, DR in the caboose, surprised‘the bbers after they had cut the air hd®e and stopped the train. Just as they had broken into a car laden with tobacco and clgarettes Hamilton attacked the robbers, al- though wounded, fought with pistol and sawed-off shot gun until he sank exhausted from the logs of blood. The noise of the firing® the shouts for help from the train crew and the shrill whistling of the locomotive aroused the countryside. When they saw help would be at hand before they could kill the indomitable po- liceman, the robbers fled in two high- powered automobiles. The Erie rail- road police said last night that not a dollar's worth of freight was missing. As the robhers fled the train crew summoned help for Hamilton. Dr. 8, E. Robinson of Waldwick hurriedly gave him first ald and then ordered that he be rushed to a hospital. The locorgotive was uncoupled and the wounded policeman was carried to Suffern, ten miles distant. The hold-up was attempted at about 2:40 in the morning. The train, No. 81, with fifty-six cars, bound for Chi- cago, had just passed Hohokus and was ascending a grade on the curve that leads into Waldwick. At that point there is a bank sloping to the tracks on one side and on the other a small lake or pond. All along the railroad there is heavy woodland. Train Stops Suddenly The train was pulling under a high bridge a quarter of a mile east of Waldwick, when there came the hiss of escaping air as the brakes set. The train which had been making fair headway up the grade, slowed down and stopped. “I don’t know why we are stopping here,” said the policeman to the con- ductore “I think I'll have a look," Hamilton climbed to the top of the rear freight car and huried through the darkness, darting his flashlight to the left and right. He had just jumped across the space between two cars when he heard someone clamber- ing up the side of the car he had reached. Hamilton drew his pistol and crawled along the narrow plat- form on the car roof. He had almost reached the end when he saw dimly the head and shoulders of a man. The policeman threw himself forward on his stomach as a bright flame stabbed the dark- ness followed by the report of as pis- tol. The bullet whined above His head. “Get back there where you came from,” he heard a voice say, ‘‘or I'll fill you full of lead.” Hamilton’s own pistol now ‘answer- ed with a crash. The robber ducked between the cars. From the darkness beside the train, anther pistol crack- ed six times and the bullets sang about the ears of the railroad man. Gets His Sawed-Off Shotgun Hamilton crawled back swiftly, dopped to the ground on the other side of the train and ran back to the caboose. Telling the conductor and trainman to hustle back along the tracks for help, he seized a sawed- off shot-gun, which is part of every railroad policemen's equipment, and ran up the side of the train where the robbers were. With a pocket full of shells loaded with buc ot, Hamilton felt himself a match for any number of bandits. He had passed the car when the man had shot at him and was nearly under the bridge when he saw four or five men in the darkness about an open car door. There was 4 chorus of startled yells and the shotgun roared and roared again. The gang scrambled up the bank into the woods and from cover, their pistols answered the shotgun. The policeman followed cautiously, shoot- ing at the flashes. Suddenly Hamilton heard a shot from overhead and then another and another, the bullets spattering the dirt at his feet. He had just made out the crouching figure of inan on the bridge, wi*n he felt sharp blow in the leg, “elling him tc the ground. Opens lire Towara Bridge The policeman was up in a minute jand his buchshot tore splinters from the bridge planking. The man ran back and Humilton attempted to craw! up the bank after the gang. But his leg was practically uscless and he could feel himself growing weak from loss of blood. » Fawn and White WITH canargy vellow soles.

But the neighborhood, deserted as it had appeared, was now aroused, Bhouts were heard in answer to the locomotive whistle, Lights appeared on the bridge and voices inquired what the matter was. George Scott an Frie Rallroad po- lleeman and Hobart Serafini, Chief of Police of Hohokus, and other officers from Ridgewood arrived speedily and they found Hamilton lying on the ground In front of the opened freight car, All day yesterday the police search- ed the countryside for the robbers.

W. All- ing in police court this morning at the instance of Game Warden T. L. Ryan and William Smyrk, charged with using “set-lines” in fishing at Doerr's pond. Iudge Alling felt it was a case of ignorance of the law rather than wil- ful intent, and he suspended judg- ment. The game wardens accosted Portas yesterday afternoon while he was catching bait fish in a net. Shortly afterward they found him with three set lines each with three hooks. Portas told the court that he was injured in an automobile truck on Hart street sveral weeks ago while in the city's employ, and since that time has been obliged to discontinue work. He saw others fishing with set lines and thought it was all right, he said. 5 A 85 fine for drunkenness was im- posed on Jeremiah Lynch, arrested last night by Doorman Gustav Hell- berg at police headquarters.
