Dealer, Held Up in Early Afternoon, CARRYING UNCUT GEMS. “Make a Sound and I'll Drill You,” Says Robber, Point- ing Gun. Lorenz Collin, a son of William L. Collin, a diamond dealer at No. 317 Fifth Avenue, was held up by an armed thug and robbed of $20,000 worth of unset diamonds in Newark, N. J., at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The hold-up occurred in the Chesi- nut Street archway under the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad, two blocks from the South Street station, in a section given over to factories. The thief disappeared before the vic- tim of the robbery could summon help, Mr. Collin is employed by his father. He went to Newark this after- noon carrying the diamonds in a small leather case in the inside pocket of his coat for the purpose of delivering them at the jewelry factory of W. L. Mertz, No. 24 Scott Street, to be set, It is Mr. Collin’s opinion that he was followed from the office in Fifth Avenue and probably had been fol- lowed before, as he frequently made the trip to the Mertz factory. The archway was deserted as he centered it to-day. He had proceeded but a few feet when « man stepped rapidly past him, turned and pointed a pistol at his abdomen, The thug was short, stocky, swarthy and determined look- in, f you make # sound,” he said, Nl drill you, Put up your hands."* Collin elevated his hands, The thief tore open his coat which was but- toned and showed his familiarty with the job by reaching straight for the packet of gems. Warning Collin that ff he made an outcry he would be shot, the thug ran to the entrance to the archway and turned the corner, It was probably a minute before Mr. Collin ventured to follow. The thief had disappeared. Mr. Collin ran to the Mertz factory and telephoned news of the hold-up to Police Headquarters. B. & O.

WASHINGTON, July 27, — Im- mediate action on Senator Borah’s bill for a sweeping investigation of teh coal industry by a coal commission which would recommend means of preventing future strikes was blocked in the Senate Labor Committee to- day, by Senators Dupont, Delaware, and Phipps, Colorado. The two Senators insisted that Borah submit the bill to President Harding, stating that if Harding thought Congress ought not to take up at this time the question of perman- ent legislation, to prevent strikes, they would not agree to report the bill.

Reisler in Carriage as He Weeps and Moans for Dead Girl. POLICE GET NEW LEAD To Present Evidence Son, Not Mrs. 'Reisler, Killed Bertha Katz. John the Barber Reisler attended the funeral this afternoon of Bertha Katz, his sister-in-law, who was shot and killed in her home at No. 1785 Sterling Place, Brownsville, Brooklyn, Tuesday night by his wife or his son. His presence at the ceremonies in- censed numerous persaons in a mob ofseveral thousand that packed the block and adjoining side streets and riotous scenes marked the proceedings attending the departure of the funeral cortege. + Reisler, who has been dodging the Police sinec the tragedy, appeared at hte Katz home early this morning and spent some time with Mrs. Jennie Katz, mother of the murdered woman. Shortly after his departure the body of Bertha Katz arrived from the Morgue and a crowd began to as- semble. ‘The first announcement of the funeral gave the hour as 2.30 o'clock. When Reisler had departed the an- Nouncement was made that the hour had been changed to 1 o'clock. Reisler returned about noon and entered the house. He wept and moaned during the services and was weeping when he appeared in the street, following the coffin, accompanied by two of his sisters. : Reisler and his sisters entered tho second coach. Mrs. Jennie Katz fainted on the sidewalk and had to be lifted into her carriage. There were only four carriages in the cor- tege. There was a rush for the carriage in which Reisler was sitting. Women shouted insults at him in English and Yiddish. He cowered in his seat with his hands hiding his face. The sisters were not so complaisant One of them reached out, grabbed a straw hat from the head of a male spectator and hurled tt at a woman who hd been most prolific in abuse. The other sister leaned out of the opposite window and spat into the eye of an old woman with a black wig who was voicing her opinion of John the Barber in a piercing voice. Policemen arived as the mob was making a rush at Reisler’s carriage with the evident intention of over- turning It. The entire neighborhood was in ap uproar. Women at the windows of the tenements screamed and ges- ticulated. The chauffeurs of about fifty taxicabs which had been driven to the scene in the hope of picking up fares for the cemetery pressed on the bulbs of their horns and set up a deafening din when they found they were unable to get any customers. A police escort took the funeral out of the disturbance area The Katz girl was buried in Washington Cemetery. der of Bertha Katz by one of a party of four consisting of Mrs. John Rels- ler, sister of Bertha and wife of “John, the Barber;"’ her sons, Morris and George, and her brother, Max Katz, has served to confirm the charge made by Bertha Katz on her deathbed and upheld by her aged mother, who witnessed the tragedy, that the four fatal shots were fired by Morris Reisler, The police theory is that Mrs. Reis- ler has assumed responsibility’ because she figures that, as a wronged wife, she would stand a chance of being ac- quitted by a-jury of guilt tn killing her sister. The evidence will be presented to the Grand Jury to-morrow. District Attorney Ruston said to-day that tt appears from the facts ascertained that all four share in the guilt. It is quite plain that Mrs. Reisler, her sons and her brother went to Brook- lyn for the purpose of doing harm to “John the Barber’ and Bertha Katz and it Is probable that the plan was to shoot both, But “John the Bar- ber" got away. George Reisler, the seventeen-year- old son, has admitted that he was the first to attack the door of his grand- mother’s fiat after she had refused to admit the party. Morris Reisler has admitted that he and Katz joined in the attack on the door and forced it. George corroborates the statement of his mother that she fired the shots that killed her sister. Morris refuses to talk and Katz says he did not see the shooting, although he helped break down the door, Mrs. Reisler has lost all the cheer- ful self-satisfaction that carried her through the police court ordeal yes- terday. She slept very little last night and was in a stato of nervous excitement in Raymond Street Jail to-day, although she refused medi- cal attention. She refused to talk, referring inquirers to her lawyer, James H. [Avingston Morris Reisler talked to reporters in Raymond Street Jail. While he would make no direct statement con- cerning the shooting 't was inferred from his remarks that he wil! not 4 pute his mother's assertion that she shot her sister, even though he is for- mally accused. H “As to who fired the shots,” he said, “I prefer to say nothing until ufter 1 have seen my lawyer."* wij aay, however, that this ter- thing was not planned In ad- vance.

They were arrested and the liquor was brought in and piled up in the Harbor A Station. It took an hour to unload and a crowd watched the police carry it in. A few bottles were broken and added to the invig- orating smell of the salt sea air. By telephone the Coast Guard Steamer Hansen, which took the place of the Hahn in the Prohibition Navy, reported that at 4 o'clock the Sloop J. H.

The value was placed at about $75,000.

He could have been a big man and a millionaire in New York if he had done right. My only feeling is one of sorrow for him, because he realizes that {t was his actions alone that caused this terrible tragedy.” While John the Barber was attend- ing the ¢uneral his name was called in Justice Lydon’s part of the Supreme Court where he had been summoned to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for refusing to pay his wife $50 a week alimony and $500 counsel fees as directed by Justice Guy six months ago. When ho did not answer he was declared In contempt. Reisler did not lear nof the murder of his paramour by his wife until shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday morning. After leaving Bertha Katz in the care of a detective at midnight Tuesday he went to the home of his sister, Mrs, Cecilia Underweiser, No, 612 Ashford Strect, where he spent the night. In the morning he started, as was his custom, for the home of Bertha Katz to take her to her place of busi- ness in Manhattan in his automobile. As he approached the house in Ster- ling Place he heard people talking of the tragedy. made inquiries and was told of the killing of Bertha Katz.

New York, oF Brookiyn Office, 4100 Main, 1 ROBBERS CARRY OFF® 300-POUND SAFE FROM SHOE STORE Get Same Number of Dol- lars in Second Raid in Two Months. Burglars visited the Beck-Hazsard Shoe store at No, 676 Ninth Avenue for the second time in a little more than two months, carried off a safe weighing 300 pounds, and got about $300 in cash, it became known to-day. Besides being the second robbery of this particular store, it is the eighth time since Feb. 18 that the Beale Hazzard stores have been looted. Apparently this latest robbery is the result of information obtained by an ex-convict who obtained a job wi the Bepk-Hazzard Shoe Company ant then worked his way in short time to the position of assistant manager. This man is now under arrest. The safe is belleved to be at the bottom of the Hudson River empty. Three burglars jimmied the door of the store, in the heart of the con- gested Paddy's Market district, at 5 o'clock Sunday or Monday morn- ing. At that time the time-cl stopped.
