42 POUT JEFFEKSO Patrolman On Duty 111 Windsor Club," Three Doors From Robbed Restaurant. PRISONER HECKER IN BAD, Faces Charge in County Court in Addition to One of Complicity in Holdup. Trouble, came thick and fast today for George Hecker, who was arrested yesterday for complicity in the "hold up'1 of Kelby's all-night restaurant, VMS Bedford avenue. Curiously enough Hecker was to have been tried before County Judge Niemann today on a charge of assault with brass knuckles upon one Edward C. Burke on June, 10.

This assault occurred in what was formerly known as Casey's saloon on Adams street. The indictment called Hecker "George Witt, alias George Brown," and the police recognized him as an old offender. He had been out on bail on the assault charge. Hecker, alias Witt, alias Brown, was brought down from the Jail today on a recall. His bondsman hurried into court and surrendered the bail.

Then it was found that the assault Indictment could not be tried and the prisoner was sent back to Jail this afternoon. The indictment, on which Hecker was to have been tried today, charges him with the assault "as a second offense," and if he is convicted he can be sent away for a long term. The police have as yet found no additional clue to the identity of the four men who took part In the hold-up. The fact that there was a policeman stationed on what might be culled a fixed post four doors from the restaurant ot the time of the robbery has occasioned comment in the neighborhood. Ever since the, raid on Mannle Cohen's Windsor Club, on Bedford avenue, neiir Fulton street, the police of the Grand avenue, station have had a man on duty in the place.

Only one man is assigned at time, but day and night, patrolman is on the premises. umcer McManus was the man assigned to the Job at the time, of the hold-up. He went on duty in the empty Windsor club-rooms at midnight, but was not on the ground floor, where the "cafe" is located, but upstairs, in the clubrooms. McManus says that he heard the shooting ot the hold-up men and hurried down to the street as fast as he could. "But the whole thing was over In a minute," said Captain Becker, of thi Grand avenue police today.

"When Mc-Slauus got to the street he found that the officer who hud been at Fulton street and Bedford avenue, already had his prisoner. The fugitive four hud escaped In their automobile and there was nothing for McManus to do but to go back to his poet In the Windsor Club. It was a thing that McManus could not have prevented. NO NEW BRITISH WARSHIPS But It Will Have a New Destroyer Every Week. London, July 17 Tho British Admiralty has no Intention of adding further warships to its construction programme for 1914-15, according to an announcement made by Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, In the course of a statement made In tho House of Commons today on tho debate on the shipbulding vote.

Mr. Churchill said he knew of nothing In the international situation necessitating an increase, and he did not think anything occurring in the Mediterranean in connection with the proposed Austrian and Italian warship construction would require Great Britain to depart from her present programme. As a result of the rejection ot the Canadian naval bill the British government, said Mr. Churchill, would accelerate the construction of three warships, which would, therefore, be ready lu the third quarter of 11(15. Mr.

Churchill added that he did not think the question of Canadian contribution to the defense of the Empire closed, and there was no reason to suppose that Great Britain would bo left to face emergencies in the future unaided, he declared, that early action should be taken in one form or another. By next year, the first lord told his hearers, the, British Admiralty would be in a better position to Judge whether further accelerat.on or a direct addition programme would be forced upon them. In the meanwhile the navy would be in creased by new destroyer every week! for the next nine months; by a light! cruiser every thirty days for the next I year, and by a superdreadnought every! forty-five days for the next eighteen months.

Soma of the Utters introduced dealt with former President Roosevelt's indorsement of the candidacy of Mr. Taft, then Secretary of War. In a letter to Schwedtman, secretary of the Manufacturers, In April, 1908, Mulhall quoted the late Vice President Sherman as saying that the fight then raging on Speaker Cannon was a "dirty deal by the White House against the Speaker." "Watson states," wrote Mulhall, "that the President (Roosevelt) Is moving heaven and earth to nominate Taft nnd he Is willing to sacrifice the Sherman law and every law to please the trust and please Wall Street, so that he can get their support for his candidate." Mulhall also wrote of attending meeting at Mr. Foraker's bouse, composed of Senators "who will oppose the President and his policies at the Chicago convention." He added that he was told to work against Maryland delegates being Instructed for Taft. "The opposition to the President," Mulhall continued, "Intends to let no legislation through that he wishes at this session of Congress and intends to fight the Taft forces to a finish.

A whole lot took place at this meeting that cannot very well be put on paper." Other letters detailed the fight on various Congressmen. "We huve sent special people after Mr. Townseud In Michigan," said one. CUSTOMS OFFICER SUICIDE Inspector Fenton Puts Bullet in His Brain in Manhattan. Hart B.

The commission of eight separate burglaries in one month was charged against Kulman, but the Grand Jury found indictments only for the six.

On four of the indictments Louis Papp was also arraigned. Kulman is 20 yeurs old, while Papp is 42. yet it is said that the younger man was the leader.

Papp also pleaded not guilty. The one thing which stood In the wav of Judge Dike's believing the straightforward story told by Evans J. Nicholas, 25 years old, of Bay Forty-sixth street and Harway avenue, was the past record of the man. Nicholas was indicted today by the Grand Jury for burglary In the third degree, petit larceny and receiving stolen goods as a second offender. The court promised to investigate his story and allow him to plead as a Sret offender If it proved true.

When Pottereanizza. Hassonelll, Gen-erola and Mosdelll none of them having any first names so far as anybody knows were arraigned. Judge Dike looked nonplussed. They are the four lltttlo Hindus charged with murder. "For one," said the judge, "the court must confess itself up a stump.

Is there anyone In the room who can speak Hindu?" No response. "The court understands there are 785 different dialects in tha Hindu language. Any one who can apeak one of them please step up and act as Interpreter." Still no move. The judge was forced to send the men back to jail until a Hindu Interpreter could be found. The four are charged with the murder of Frederick Duckett, the fireman on the ship on which they worked.

An interpreter from Coney Island yesterday aided the Grand Jury inquisition. Charles A. Eulner was charged with robbery In the first degree, assault in the second degree and grand larceny In the second deghee.
