NEW YORK, Jan. 16. (Special.)
Twenty shots were fired In a general,
free-for-all revolver battle which
frustrated a one-man holdup in a
crowded Broadway bank at 11 o'clock
this morning.
A short, stocky bank robber de
manded $5000 at the point of a pistol
at the paying teller's window in the
Manhattan Savings institution, north
east corner of Broadway and Bleecker
street. Then began the fusillade which
ended in his capture by the president
of the bank. Constant M. Bird.
The prisoner gave the name of
James Straton. 1869 Cropsey avenue
Batch beach. He said he came from
Hammond, Ind., and had no accomplice
in the holdup. He was taken to the
Mercer-treet station, where the po
lice said he was an old offender and
has done time for bank robbery.
Straton was arraigned before Mag
istrate Ten Eyck in Jefferson market
court on charge of attempted rob
bery and held in $5000 bail for ex
animation on January 19.
Missile Kly in Crowd.
The bank was crowded withpatrons
when the bullets began flying. Three
of the missiles went through a win
dow and shattered windows in a
haberdashery across the street. Others
were imbedded in walls. The crowd
of customers scattered. Some flat
tened themselves against the walls
others ran into the street. That no
one was ehot is remarkable.
Traffic Policeman John Stanley,
from his post in front of the bank,
was attracted by the shots and en
tered the place to find President Bird
covering the cowering robber with a
drawn revolver. The robber's hand3
were in the air and his weapon had
dropped to the floor. The policeman
took the robber out through a crowd
which filled the streets.
There were three women clerks
the bank. Bullets spattered about
them but they are said to have be
haved like heroines.
All the employes of the bank had
been coached for years in what to do
if an attack was made by robbers. AI
are familiar with the details ot the
famous clean-up made there 40-odd
years ago by Jimmy Hope, Red Leary
and Shang Draper, who robbed the
bank and escaped with hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Ttys robbery was the most sensa
tional in the police annals of the city
The thieves entered in the night and
escaped with their loot but were final
ly captured in connection with other
robberies.
Teller Alarm.
Third Deputy Police Commissioner
Porter and Second Deputy Commis
sioner Lahey interviewed the officials
of the bank. Mr. Bird said: "When
the man came in David Sands, the
paying teller, was in his cage. The
robber approached the cage, drew
revolver and demanded S5000 at once.
Sands dropped to the floor and called
out, 'Boys get your guns. He then
jumped up again, drew his own re
volver and fired one shot.
"The robber returned the fire, bent
over to dodge Sand's bullets, and con
tinued shooting. I left my office in
the rear of the room, and advancing
toward the gunman with a revolver,
demanded that he throw up his hands.
He obeyed, and dropped his revolver
to the floor as he elevated his 'hands."
Arthur Stiles, secretary to the
cashier, said: "There were about 16
employes in the building when the
holdup man entered. Three of these
were women. Probably a dozen shots
were fired, but the women behaved
beautifully. None fainted and none
left their posts. Many patrons were
in the bank.
"The robber was a young man. He
walked up to the paying teller's win
dow, saying 'I want $5000 and if I
don't get it I'll kill you.' He had his
revolver trained right on the teller."
The window of the bond clerk, M.
J. Maloy. is in direct line with the
front of the paying teller's window.
Maloy was blazing away and had fired
four shots when his automatic
jammed, and he could not shoot any

TOKIO, Jan. 15. (By the . Asso

today, sent instructions' last night to
Yukichi Obata, the minister to China
to notify the Pekin government that
Japan, having succeeded to Ger
many's rights in Shantung on Jan
uary 10 by virtue of the treaty of
peace, was ready now to negotiate
at any time for their return.
WASHINGTON', Jan. 16. Any ac
tion by Japan toward the restoration
of Shantung to China at this time
would be simply preparatory moves.
t was said today by officials here.
The German government has 30 days
after formal ratification of the peace
treaty in which to turn over to Japan
the documents relating to former
German possessions in China. Lack
ing these papers, it was said, Japan
did not know in detail what German
rights had been taken ovoj- when
Tsing Tsau was captured. 9
It was regarded as probable, how
ever, that the Japanese government
was making preliminary arrange
ments in order that negotiations
with China for restoration of the
province might be expedited when
the documents were received.

SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 16. (Spe
clal.) James M. Lambert, 47 years
old, for seven years a justice court
constable, is alleged to have made
a confession to Chief of Police Joel
K. Warren that he and Constable
Thomas B. Mulligan have for some
time past conducted a system of
wholesale graft from dealers in hard
cider in Seattle.
Lambert was taken into custody
Wednesday night by police officers,
who, by prerrangement, were in a
Kirst avenue cafe when Lambert is
alleged to have called to collect $40
graft money. When the policemen
showed themselves after the passage
of the money, is said to have taken
place. Mulligan fled. When searched
the currency could not be found on
Lambert, but it was picked .up near
where he was standing. It tallied
with the numbers in the possession of
the policemen.
It was when Lambert was taken to
headquarters that he is alleged to
have made his confession to Chief
Warren. Chief Warren said that
Lambert offered to pay back to the
various cider dealers the money he
had collected, but this chance was
refused. Prosecuting Attorney Fred
C. Brown said last night that his men
had been investigating the alleged
confession today and that criminal
complaints would be asked for.

Sims declared that the "awarding of
medals to men who lost their ships

history of the American navy or any
other navy and had resulted in ab
solutely shattering the morale of the
service."
Officers of the navy, he said, would
much rather have no medals awarded
them than to have them juggled
around. He said that his chief critl
cism was not that some of his recom
mendations had not been approved
but was that by awarding medals of
different value than he recommended
to various officers on his staff, the
board and the secretary had changed

Teuton, Explains Failure to Follow
United Slates Institutions in
Essential Details.
BERLIN. Jan. 14. Hugo Preuss
former minister of the interior, today
said a chief raeson for framing the
German constitution differently from
the American charter was that under
the American constitution the cabinet
ministers occupied positions as mere
assistants to the president and were
not accountable to the parliament. He
was discussing a statement ascribed
to him that American great head
quarters had sought to influence the
shaninir of the Herman consmuuon.
"Soon after publication of my" first
draft a year ago,"- he said, 1 was in
formed indirectly that American head
auarters was actively interested In
the proposed charter, with which it
already was familiar through
translation. It was hinted that in
view of .ie numerous points oi re
semblance between the older Ameri
can republic and the younger "Ger
man democracy, surprise prevailed in
American circles that my draft failed
to follow the American institutions
in their essential features. To this I
replied that the very points named
revealed to my mind the weaknesses
in the American constitution. I did
not use the word 'inferior,' reported
in the press, but said that the insti
tutions proposed in their places I con
sidered politically more advantageous."
