| _ WMH BALL BAT IN ~~ HARLEM BATLE Knocked-Out Intruder Identi- fied by. the Police as “Chicago Kid.” Bolomon Upbin, sixty years old, a tailor living on the third floor of No, 6 ‘West 117th Street, arose at 490°A. M. to-day and surprised a burglar in the kitchen. His shout for help brought from adjoining rooms his daughter, Ethel, twenty- one; Kis sons, Harry, nineteen’ and David, thirteen, and a bourder, Sydney Glass, twenty. ‘The thilor had grappled with the burglar, who was armed with a “fruit hammer,” one end of which has a knife-like edge. Glass seized a base- ball. bat aod hit the burgiar on the * head when he could do so without Striking ‘the others, who were scratching, pinching, choking and beating the intruder. They had fought through several fooms when a blow dazed the burglar, Little David, who had been wriggling among the combatants hitting when he could, was cut on the neck and sbdomen with the burglar’s weapon, The cries of the Upbin family aroused the neighbor- hood and filled the street. “Don't kill me, don't kill me,” begged the burglar finally in Yiddish, “Y’'m only a poor Jew." At Upbin's order they stopped beating him. He made a dash for the window but the Upbins caught him by the feet. He was about to squirm loose and dive three stories when Policemen McGrath and Gru- ber purst into the room and dragged him ‘back. He had to be treated by an ambulance surgeon for injuries to hig head, and David Upbin had to go to bed after his lacerations were dressed. At the West 123d Street Station the police identified the prisoner as Harry Meyers alias the “Chicago Kid,” a partner of “Mocky” Price. They ‘said Mi had done eleven years for a Milwaukee burglary and two and a half years in this State. He said he years old and lived at 3, Seventh Avenue and 36th Stree His shoes were found beside a mat- tress on the roof of a house a block away, at 118th Street. The police say he had left the mattress there as an ali, his intention being to say he ‘was sleeping on the roof. He had $16 in bis pockets. Upbin said it had been stolen from his apartment, but Meyers insisted it was his own, BOY ARRESTED AS BURGLAR TRIES TO.DROWN HIMSELF Saved by Policeman After Mother Secured His Release on Bond.

Senator Lusk, before the decision was announced, had stated that sen- sational documegats were to be pro- duced before his committee to-day. ‘Since the raid the seized papers have ‘been under the control of Deputy At- torney General Barger as an officer of the court, He sald to-day “the views of Judge McAdoo will be met in @very, particulat,” which was'con- etrued-to mean that the Lusk com- mittee would not %e able to receive the papers expected to-day. The Magistrate ruled that here- after the documents taken on his seatch warrant would be held not only technically but actually in the | custody of the court. He already had } { committee bad issued for certain of them several days ago. The Magis- trate said that under the law the papers must remain in his custody until the motion for their return now pending before him had been decided, nd that neither the Lusk committe: nor any one else had any right to them, If the motion for their return should e decided in favor of the Rand School ley would then go back, andthe Lusk committee-would be able to subpoena them duces tecum. Such a subpoena already has been prepared. Should the Magistrate de- cide not to yacate the warrant, the papers then will be turned over to the Court of General Sessions, that the District Attorney may take such action as he sees fit with regard to the in- formation contained in them. 8, John Block and I. M, Sacking appeared before the Magistrate in a proceeding to fix a date for a hear- ing on their motion for a vacation of the search warrant, ‘They argued the papers were selzed illegally and that copies of the documents had been given out for publication. Magistrate McAdoo said that inas much asx he had to go away for a |long rest the motion would be turned over to Magistrate Harris for de- leision. «fhe attorneys objected on the ground Magistrate Marris might hesitate about overturning a seareh warrant issued by the Chief, and in- timated they would refuse to proceed | before any one except Mr- McAdoo. |Judge McAdoo finally ruled, how- ever, that the matter would have io |go on before Harr Scott Nearing wrote a Senator Lusk yesterday the privilege of appearing before the | committ He received a reply say- ing that the work of the committee would be continued along its present lines for a considerable time before voluntary witnesses would be heard. “We are not going to have any soupbox oratory,” said the “If Scott Nearing or any one later date has, any” constructive sug- gestions to make, we will be gad to GATALDO'S GLOGK STRUCK THRICE 100 OFTEN FOR HIM When a Sturdy Boy Joined the Fam- ily With Each Striking the Dis- | mayed Father Fled.
