Pyatt 6¢ No. 1929 Tenth Avenue, Manhattan, were held this morning to-await the action of the Grand Jury by Justloe of the Peace Waiter R. Jones. The men were afrested at Belmont Park on May 28, accused of book- making. At a postponed hearing this morning Constable John Thompson of Oyster Bay testified that on May 26 and 27 he had placed bets with Jarndorf and that Pyatt was doing Ddusiness in a similar way. Both Thompson and Charles Kase- boom, an investigator in the District Attorney’s office, sald that on May 27 they saw groups of a dosen or more men standing about the alleged book- makers, who were writing on slips of paper which were given about and after examination returned. Thomp- gon said that Jarndort asked him what he wished and he replied: “Want to lay a bet.” “On what?” sald Jarndort. “Goodward,” he replied. A price was given at 10 to 2, Kaschoom testified to seeing slips of paper passed to various persons, who, after examination, made mo- tions toward their clothing and re- turned thesslips to Jarndorf and Pyatt.

Magistrate Krotel held in West Bide Court to-day: that all performances in costume by singers and dancers in restaurants are, in effect, theatrical performances and are violations of the law unless restaurants and cafes presenting such attractions are pro- tected by theatrical lcenses, which cost $500 a year. He based his opin- fon on ‘an ordinance passed’on March 80 by the Board of Aldermen which forbids any eort of a performance in restaurants which pay, only the fee of $50 a year covering a permit for dancing. The decision was rendered in the cases of Paul Salvin, proprietor of Rectors, and John Wagner, manager of Reisenweber’s. The case of Homer Mallow, manager of the cafe of the Hotel Wallick was postponed because; the Supreme Court of the United | Owner, H: the Inspector who caused Mr. Mallow’s | States because the Government will | jiq, arrest had forgotten his notes. This case will be heard on Friday. ivin’s case was the first heard by Magistrate Krotel to-day. Inspectors Wahlen and Glynn testified that an electric sign outside Rector’e adver- tised on May 27 an “Al! Star Cast in Up and Down broadway.” They went inside, the inspectors said, and saw a performance of singing and dancing by. performers in costume on a stage with footlighte and fixed scenery. Taking part in the show they said were girls who changed their cos- tumes at intervals, Mr. Salvin said the stage had been formerly used by the orchestra, The show, he sald, was discontinued as soon as he learned that there was a question as to his right to present such a performance, Magistrate Krote! found him guilty of @ violation of the law and imposed a fine of $50. off the show, but the Magistrate held that the testimony of the inspectors showed « clear violation of the terms of the ordinance of March 30. A almilar decision was rendered in the cane of Rotsenweber's, Inspectors tentified about @ performance by girls in contume, but there was no stage in this instance. The performance was given on « dancing floor murrounded by tables.

June 8—The Government's motion asking for sf injunction ‘and dissolution of the United States Steel Corporation was denied in an. opinion in the United States Court this afternoon. ‘The decision hold’ that the foreign trade of the corporation Is not a vio- lation of the Sherman Law.

By Samuel M. Williama, ! Specie! Stal Correspondent of The Evening World. sin WASHINGTON, June 3.—While the visit of Ambassador Von Bert storff to President Wilson yesterday and his endeavor to bring about © better understanding in Germany of America’s purpose is commended tn official circles, a distictly bad impression has been created by his sending |to the State Department almost simuitaneously affidavits declaring the Lusitania was an armored ship. The contrast between the attitude of President Wilson and the trivial affidavits of four persons, obtained by German agents along the docks, is so strong as to have aroused a hostile feeling. In some quarters it is Questions of construction of international law about armament on merchant ships and the petty affidavits concerning the Lusitania are com sidered by the Administration as wholly irrelevant to the principles. im volved in this country’s demands that submarine warfare against innocemt non-combatants must cease. ‘The President ts steadfast in his determination to protect American citizens in travelling wherever thelr legitimate business calls them upon the high seas, Ho Is not to be swerved from thie. paramount principle by German attempts to confuse the issue w ralsing questions as to facts which an international court would hold were immaterial, irrelevant and incompetent, ’ Counsellor Lansing of the Btate Department sald today that interme tional jaw recognized offensive and defensive armament for merchant wee sels, As early a8 last September the Department issued instructions e customs ofliclals regarding examination of vessels to ascertain whether they were armed. In only two cases were reports made of armed merchantmem Gav was the White Star liner Adriatic which bad several guns, mounted when she sailed from New York early in the war, but these guns ware removed on ber arrival in England, The second case was that of a ehip arriving at Philadelphia carrying four guns, but these were removed w her owners The fete upon which the German Government asked agreement, it te now practioully o@rtain, will be treated by the note as irrelevant with ome exception, It ts Understood that the note will restate that the Lusintanis was a peaceful orulwer, did not resist capture, and was unarmed, All the lothe: points raised by Germany are deemed irrelevant under the laws of nations It was reiterated at the Btate Department today that while affidavits | fied there by the Germay Wambassy, contending that the Lusitania wap j armed, had been carefully considered, the proof of the United States that | the Lusitonia wee Unarmed was beyond question.
