Stori ac- companied by his wife, Leona, and her mother and father had dined at the restaurant Storz lives at 115 East Mosholu parkway, Bronx. Ths Storz party had been In the restaurant several hours when a bill was submitted to him for $29, in- clusive of $12 for the cover charges. Mr. Stors protested the cover charges and sought to leave, after he offered the head waiter the money for the supper. He stated that he was unable to leave and that employees refused to give him his hat or coat. Stors said that he was arguing for more than an hour. Finally his wife went to the street and got Patrolman Martin allien of the West 47th street station. Storz' hat and coat were given to him but on the complaint of the assistant manager, James W. Smith, Stors was arrested on the charge of dis- orderly conduct. Stors was taken to the West 47th stroet station followed by his wife and her mother and father. His auto was outside the restaurant. When at the police station Smith lodged a complaint against him on violation of the Hotel Act Storz had $400 in cash with him. Bail was fixed at $500. His father-in- law offered deeds for a large piece of property In the Bronx and Stors was given his liberty. Charge Changed When the case was heard in West Side Court the charge of falling to pay a cover charge was entered against Stora and not violation of the Hotel Act. The latter act deals with one who stops at a hotel and refuses to pay for lodging and services. During the testimony Stors quot- ed figures for his eats and water that made the audience gasp. He frankly told the Court he refused 1 to pay the cover charge. "Not only , that. Your Honor," he said, "but they gypped me out of $4.60/* The Court later directed that $3.00 was forthcoming to Storz when the bills were compared. Storz stated that at no time was he informed of the cover charge- He said it was not on the menu oird nor had any one told him. His wife corroborated his testimony. Waiter Testifies A waiter testified that at IS:30 he Informed Storz that presently the midnight show was about to appear and that if otorz wanted to see it he would have to pay the cover charge. Generally, the waiter stated, slips of papors are given to the patrons notifying them of the cover charge for the show. Stors,almost at tho completion of the case asked for an adjournment. He said he wanted to secure wit- nesses. Just before the adjourn- ment was asked, the Court had tentatively stated that he believed the restaurant was entitled to the cover charge from the evidence adduced.

Cata Lopez Robbery Confession Repudiated Harry Kleinberg. 28, 210 East 113th street, ex-convict and carpen- ter, formerly employed at Casa Lopez, was held without ball when arraigned before Magistrate Ma- crery In West Side court on a charge of burglary. Kleinberg is accused of acting in concert with othera not yet arrested in ripping the safe at the Caaa Lopez and stealing $5,200. William Lenz, head porter, testl* fled he observed Kleinberg and an unidentified man In conversation In a room on the third floor Just as ha was preparing to close the place and paid no further attention* Kleinberg formerly had been em- ployed in the place. Shortly after 4 a, m. Charles Mitchell, colored, night watchman, said he was alone In the place when hearing some noises. About to investigate, a man came up to him and pointing a pistol told him to hold up his hands. While guarded by the man with the gun, Mitchell said he heard footsteps and later rounds of the men hammering at the safe in the office. A short time later, he said, someone whistled and the man who had been guarding him left after warning him to stay there. Detective John Walsh, West 47th street station, said he questioned Kleinberg and the latter confessed to him that he had planned the job and was to receive part of the pro* ceeds from a man named Murray, an ex-convict. The detective then produced to the magistrate a con- fession signed by Kleinberg. It was repudiated by Sidney Lash, Klelnberg's counsel. Lash said he believed the confession was ob- tained under duress. Magistrate Macrery asked Klein- berg if he wanfed to take the stand in his own defense. He declined, waived examination ana was then held without ball. Home THAW DIDN'T PAY In the reported accounts of the argument between IYmkv Joyce and Peggy Harris (English) at the Ave- upc Clnb at «l West fi3nl street, everything appears to have been accurately reported, excepting that Harry K. Thaw paid the check. While the two Peggys were ver- bally mauling each other the check ran up. After their language set-to had reached the point where It was safer to move than teat? down the celling everyone departed but Mr. Thaw. With no one else In sight the waiter handed Mr. Thaw the check. "Not me," said the blazer from Pittsburgh. "I may be crazy, but not that crazy, and this was not my party." The check reached about $300.
