30,000 Families Migrate on Annual Spring Move Day
May 1 Finds Moving Men busy as Usual, Though Total is Less.
Today is officially spring moving day, although many got a start last week.  
In the days _?_ ending Saturday, 30,000 Brooklyn families will have changed 
their living quarters in the _?_ of moving men and real estate brokers.
This is somewhat smaller then last years migration and is caused, the experts 
declare, by attempts of landlords to hold their tenants, and by a new system 
of Oct leasing.
May 1st was a moving day.  It seems is too near the summer holidays to keep 
famlies in the city and many have taken advantage of this ancient custom to 
move to the country taking new apartments in Sept. and Oct.
Now the situation has somewhat changed, say the brokers, because many 
landlords demand leases extending through the summer months. 
The consequence scores of families have been obliged to stay in the city in 
the summer or pay rents both here and in the country.
Charles D. STRANG, president of the Strang warehouses at 187-193 South 
Portland Avenue, said the moving business is quieter this year, but still 
very good.
"During the last week" he said " we have been moving about twenty families a 
day and this week we are moving twenty five families a day. There about 300 
Brooklyn concerns in the moving business and I would place the average at 
about ten families a day for each one.  The spring moving peak covers about 
ten days and thus you would have about 30,000 families moving.  Last year the 
total was about 36,000.  The October rush is of course much greater."

Patrolmen Make Six Rescues at Tenement Fire:
NOLAN and  DALE dash Through Blinding Smoke To Save Family of Six:
Patrolmen William NOLAN and Charles Dale, of Bedford Avenue Station, refused 
to discuss today rescues they made at an early morning fire in a three story 
brick tenement building, at 479 Grand Street.
	Badly affected by smoke and several times at the point of exhaustion as they 
made their way through the building, when the firemen arrived they went to a 
side line, rested up for a while and remained on duty, refusing to report sick.
It was shortly after 4 AM when Patrolman DALE saw smoke issuing from the 
cellar of the tenement and investigated.  He found the entire cellar in flame.
Returning to the sidewalk, he ran for assistance, attracting Patrolman NOLAN, 
who was on the opposite post.  When they entered the building to arouse the 
occupants, they found the hallway filled with smoke, which drove them back to 
the street.  They went to a nearby puddle of water made by the rain, soaked 
their handkerchiefs with it and then, putting them over their noses and 
mouths, pushed their way into the building and rapped on the doors, telling 
the occupants to dress hurriedly and get to the street.
	When NOLAND and DALE thought all the families were out and were about to 
start for a nearby fire alarm box, the patrolmen were informed that no one 
had seen Samuel CHERISH, or any members of his family, which consisted of his 
wife, Fanny and four children.  They lived on the second floor.
NOLAN and DALE again went into the building and after three trips, during 
which they wer badly affected by the smoke, they got the family out.  While 
DALE was leading Isadore CHERISH, 19, down the stairway to the lower hall, he 
collapsed and both he and CHERISH were dragged into the street by NOLAN, 
where they were quickly revived.
	In the meantime one of the tenants had sent in an alarm and when the firemen 
arrived they quickly extinguished the flames, which were confined to the 
cellar.  The damage is place at $1,500.  The cause is unknown.
At 9 PM last night, fire of undetermined origin broke out in the basement of 
a three-story factory building at 181 Oakland Street, occupied by George LOCK,
novelty manufacturer.  The flames were put out with slight damage.

OLD RIDGEWOOD LANDMARK SOON TO BE THING OF PAST:
Workmen are engaged today in demolishing the Hettel building, an old 
Ridgewood landmark at the junction of Myrtle Avenue, Palmetto Street and 
Wyckoff Avenue, to make way for stores which will be built there.
For many years the late Julius F. HETTEL conducted a restaurant on the first 
floor of the building, known the 1560 Myrtle Avenue.  Many lodges occupied 
meeting rooms on the two upper floors.
When HETTEL died several years ago his son, Frank, who was associated with 
him in business, continued the restaurant.

STOPS RUNAWAY, SAVES CHILDREN:
The bravery of Patrolman Harry KRESLEY today probably saved several school 
children from being trampled by a runaway horse.  The horse, the property of 
the Drake Cake Company, 71 Clinton Avenue, was hitched to one of their wagons 
and was standing at 5th Avenue and President Street, while the driver, Warren 
TRACE, of 291 Humbolt Street was making a delivery, shortly before 9 AM.
A passing automobile backfired beside the animal, which became terrified and 
bolted.  Tearing through 5th Avenue, the frightened horse approached Union 
Street, the site of P. S. 4, where Patrolman KRESLEY, who is attached to the 
Bergen Street Station, was ushering the children across the street on their 
way to classes.
The officer jumped in front of the horse, waving his arms, but the animal 
continued its mad pace.  As it passed him KRESLEY jumped for the bridle, 
missed it and catching hold of the mane was dragged a hundred feet before he 
brought the horse to a stop.

GIRL SUBDUES HER ANNOYER TAKES HIM TO POLICE STATION
 CROWDS LAUGH AS SHE PARADES MAN THROUGH STREETS FROM  THEATER
      The Gates ave. court was agog with excitement this morning as Miss 
Evelyn FARRIN, 20, of 983 Madison st., related how she marched Mariano 
LOMBARDO, 47, of 407 Evergreen ave., from the Monroe Theater, at Howard ave. 
and Broadway to Gates ave.police court and had him arrested last night. 
Singlehanded, but under police supervision, the attractive young woman 
accomplished her aim.
       According to the complaint lodged against LOMBARDO by, Miss FARRIN, 
she was seated in the theater when LOMBARDO came in and seated himself next 
to her. She said he "pinched her knee" whereupon she slapped him in the face, 
cutting his lip.
       Patrons of the theater then saw her pull the man from his seat and 
administer a sound thrashing befroe taking him up the aisle for further 
disposition.
       The management of the theater has summoned Patrolman William LANGDEN 
of the Ralph ave. station.
       "I can take care of him," he said when the patrolman offered his 
assistance. The amazed policeman acquiesced and Miss FARRIN marched LOMBARDO 
down Howard ave. to Broadway and through Quincy st. to the station, to the 
amusement of many onlookers. 
        Magistrate GOLDEN this morning held LOMBARDO under $500 bail on 
charges of disorderly conduct for trail June 1.

KING'S MEDAL BRINGS JOY TO BROOKLYN POLICEMAN
VICTOR EMMANUEL OF ITALY REWARDS SALVATORE DI LORENZO 
FOR SAVING CHILD
         The happiest member of the N.Y. Police Department today is Patrolman 
Salvatore Di LORENZO, of 2010 16th. st., attached to the Fort Hamilton 
station, because King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has bestowed upon him the 
silver medal for civic valor, according to cable dispatches from Rome.
          Patrolman Di LORENZO, in the Police Department for 1 1/2 years, was 
patroling his post out in the Fort Hamilton district last night when a 
reporter for this newspaper told him of the King's award.
         The youthful policeman was a bit skeptical at first, but when 
convinced that a report of the award had been received here, he gave vent to 
his joy. Back at the station he was congradulated on all sides. The official 
notification has not yet been received ar his house.
         King Victor Emmanuel's citation of Di LORANZO is the result of a 
heroic act by the patrolman Jan 18. He saved the life of  2 year old Adelaide 
LAMBERT, of 341 86th. st., believed dying from deadly phlegm filling her 
throat and lungs, by placing his lips against the child's and with his breath 
relieving the little patient. The child was out of danger when an ambulance 
surgeon arrived.
         The mother of Adelaide had found her choking and gasping at 3 
o'clock in the morning and becoming frantic lest her daughter die, raised a 
window and sreamed for help.
         Patrolman Di LORENZO heard the mother's shrieks and rushed into the 
house. Despite the danger of contagion the patrolman worked swiftly over the 
child 15 minutes. 
         Police Commissioner Joseph A. WARREN cited patrolman Di LORENZO for 
his act, and the young man received commendations from his superiors in the 
department and fellow patrolman for intelligent, fearless effort that saved a 
child's life.
         Partolman Di LORENZO, who is married, was born in Palermo Sicily. He 
came to the U.S. when he was 12 years old. Before becoming a patrolman Di 
LORENZO was a milkman.

    Three hundred persons crowded St. Nicholas R.C.Church yesterday morning 
to witness the "marriage" of Mr. and Mrs. William GOEHRINGER, in

Rev. Rudolph KRAUSE and the Rev. John MULZ.
     The "bride and bridegroom" walked slowly up the centre aisle while the 
organ played Mendelssohn's wedding march. Behind them was Mrs. Theresa 
WINDSCH, who 50 years ago, in the Church of the Annunication, N. 6 and 
Havemeyer sts., served as bridesmaid. She was again the bridesmaid.

nearly everyone in the church and then taken to the rectory, adjoining the 
church, Devoe and Olive sts., where they were congratulated by a number of 
priests from adjoining parishes. 
      At noon a "wedding dinner" was served in St. Nicholas Catholic Club, 
opposite the church. The celebrants were seated in golden charis, and there 
they received their guests, about 200 in all. The interior of the clubhouse 
was appropriately decorated. The decorations and preparing and serving of the 
meal was in the hands of a committee consisting of Mrs. Catherine WOLTER, 
Mrs. Mamie VOGEL, Mrs. Madeline ZWICK, Frank WOLTER and Lawrence ROTH. 
Following dinner, there was dancing and general merrymaking.
     When asked if they had any comment to make on the present style of the 
young women, they smiled and said:
      "Leave them alone, they are all right." said Mr. GOEHRINGER. "The boys 
and girls will have their way. There is an old saying that one might just as 
well be dead as be out style. I Guess that applies to the Boys and Girls of 
today."

BARRON OF GREENPOINT ESTABLISHES FINE RECORD
      Detective Robert BARRON, of the Greenpoint station is a quiet and 
unassuming officer.
       He has proved that he has real sleuthing ability. Called on many times 
to display his skill, he has never failed.
        The jobs handed to BARRON are by no means easy. They usually hold 
mysteries. But they have been solved just as easily as if good clues were 
picked just after the crimes were comted.
        Recently the body of a woman was brought ashore on the Greenpoint 
side of Newton Creek. The body had been in the water some time.  The hands 
and feet were bound with heavy wire. A large iron handle such as is used on 
coal boats to tighten up the hawser was straped to the womans back. 
        There was nothing on the woman's person to establish an 
identification .
        After many weeks of hard work Detective BARRON identified the woman 
as coming from College Point.

THREE GENERATIONS' OWNED FULTON STREET PAINT STORE
      A paint and painting supply store kept in the same family for 3 
generations and remaining in the same location throughout the time is the 
interesting history behind the establishment of George POOL & Sons, inc., of 
70-72 Fulton st.
     The store was started in 1859 by George POOL, one of the well-known 
farmers of South Brooklyn. he dealt in the line of lamps and illuminating 
oils. When his 3 sons came into the business they gradually took on lines of 
paints and painter's supplies.
      An interesting point brought out is that although there was a great 
shifting of Business centers during this period, this store has remained in 
the same spot.

EAST NEW YORK COUPLE MARKS GOLDEN WEDDING JUBILEE
GOECKLERS RENEW VOWS TAKEN AT ALTAR 50 YEARS AGO AND SLIP 
                          AWAY FOR SECOND HONEYMOON.
        Before a large number of friends, relatives and parishioners, Mr and 
Mrs. Christian GOECKLER, of 110 Jamaica ave., reiterated their marriage vows 
on the 50th. anniversary of their wedding at a solemn high mass at St. 
Michael's R.C. Church, Jerome st. near Fulton st., yesterday.
        The Rev. F. BREN, O.M. Cap., rector of the church, officiated at the 
wedding ceremony that united the couple in the holy bonds of matrimony for 
the second time since their marriage 50 years ago.
         The golden engagement ring of the "bride" had been converted into a 
wedding ring and was presented to her by the "groom" during the wedding 
ceremony.
          Immediately after the church service the newlyweds and guests 
repaired to the GOECKLER home where a banquet was given in their honor by 
their children. 
          The "benedict" and the "bride" quietly slipped away during the 
height of the festivities on their "honeymoon" through New York State.
          The couple are prominent in civic and religious circles of East New 
York, being pioneers in the up-town section of the borough. They have lived 
in the section for the past 47 years.
           The "bride" was born in Brooklyn 71 years ago. In 1879, the couple 
were married in St. Benedict's R.C. Church, Fulton st. and Ralph ave.
           There were 4 children born to the couple, 3 daughters Christina, 
Sister  Clara Agnes, O.S.D., and Mrs. H.P. MESSER, and 1 son, John. Eight 
grandchildren witnessed the ceremony and attended the banquet.
            Commenting on his 50 years of married life Mr. GOECKLER said:
"Gosh, but the time does not seem that long. Mama and I have spent all these 
years in happiness. When we first came to East New York it was partly a 
wilderness. I could see it grow, until now there is hardly building space for 
anyone.
"And today I am reminded of the happy day I experienced 50 years ago when I 
married my beloved wife. It all seems like a dream to me.
"Live a clean, honest, and upright life is my advice to the young folks. 
Clean living is a great stimulant for heath and happiness."
(NOTE: From Deborah L. Gizzi
I also noticed that they never mentioned the "brides" name, so curiosity got the
better of me. Located the couple, along with their daughter Christina in the 1920
Census. The wife's name is Martha.)

after attempting to attack her.

degree, but on appeal a retrial was ordered because of defects in the
indictment.  He was re-indicted on a charge of murder in the first
degree and brought to trial again at St. George, S.I., last February.  A
mistrial was  declared when his attorney, Leonard A. SNITKIN, collapsed

venue to Kings County, holding that HOFFMAN could not obtain a fair
trial on Staten Island because of press comment on the case in the

CHAMBER COUNSELS EXTENDING SYSTEM OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Points to Success of Control on Ocean Ave. - Want Bedford Ave. Next.
The system of synchronous traffic lights not in operation on Ocean
avenue is expected to be the forerunner of an extension of the system to
other streets and avenues in Brooklyn if the proposals of the committee
on streets and highways of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce are carried out.
The matter of traffic control on principal Brooklyn arteries by this
system of lighting was first discussed by the committee with Deputy
Commissioner Philip D. HOYT, in charge of traffic for the Police
Department on April 19, 1927, following the authorization of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment of traffic lights for a number 
of Brooklyn thoroughfares.
Members of the committee held the opinion, arrived at from their visits
to other cities and attendance at State and national conferences in
relation to traffic, that the progressive control system was adapted to
Brooklyn conditions and would expedite traffic and minimize accidents.
Motorists thus far are inclined, it seems, to travel at a slower or
faster rate of speed than the twenty-two [22] miles set for through
travel without cross traffic delays.  Those who gauge their speed with
the allotted rate, however, are finding the system to work out as
promised.  Pedestrians are counseled to "wait a minute and save a life,"
a minute or less being the average time required to provide them the
clear passage across the street
An important point about the installation on Ocean avenue which falls in
line with the suggestions of the Chamber committee on streets and
highways which have been made  to the Commissioner deals with the
lighting on Bedford avenue.  [picture this] Here the present lights are
placed at only a few intersections and it is necessary for the motorist
to ride over the crosswalk to see when the light changes unless coming
in at a street where the light is placed.  [Italics are mine]
The committee urges that a light be placed at each street intersection
along Bedford avenue.  There are many strangers riding daily on Brooklyn
streets and coming into an avenue like Bedford avenue they have no
warning that they are going through a light controlled street on which
the traffic is moving with an implied right-of-way.

TRIED TO SELL DETECTIVE MONEY-MAKING DEVICE
The ancient and honorable "green goods game" has bobbed up once more and

Chrystie street, and Joseph KAPLIN, 41, of 147 Ludlow street, Manhattan,
will have a hearing on grand larceny charges to-day in Rockaway court.
All might have been well with them still, if they had not picked on
Detective Ike JACOBS, of Rockaway station, as a good prospect for one of
their automatice counterfeiting machines.  JACOB made an appointment to
meet them last night and then invited Detective Lieut. James GAINE and
Detective James BLAKE to come along and share in the investment.
Just as the two Manhattanites were settling down to a real sales talk
and, according to JACOBS, putting it over very well, GAINE and BLAKE
came along and the party broke up.  BERKOW and KAPLIN both being arrested.

-Skylarking in the crowds at Coney Island last Tuesday night, according

of petty larceny against Meyer MEERBAUM, 23, a butcher, living at 1557

condition at Greenpoint Hospital and menay [sic] fellow workers with him
in the crosstown subway excavation of the Greenpoint section at
Manhattan avenue and Kent street are recovering from the effects of
illuminating gas poisoning, the result of a leak last night in Shaft 3,
where all were laboring.  Merchants and families in the neighborhood
to-day complained they had experienced threatening gas odors recently
and an investigation is in progress to correct the situation.
DERMOTT collapsed while working in the bottom of the shaft and when
other workers tried to aid him, they too, became dizzy and were forced
to call for help.
It was with difficulty DERMOTT was hoisted to the street level, where
Patrolman John CUMMINGS, of Greenpoint station, gave him first aid and
then summoned an ambulance from Greenpoint Hospital.  Dr. GRALNICK
attended the man and took him to the hospital where it was said his
condition was serious, though it was expected he would recover.
The other workers recovered sufficiently when brought above ground so as
not to require services of a surgeon and continued to work in other
locations during the night.
While fumes of escaping gas had been reported by storekeepers and
persons living in the immediate vicinity of late, it was not until last
night that they regard the matter as acute.

amnesia, early Friday morning has been identified as Miss Anna GITTLESON, 17 
years old, of 354 Knickerbocker avenue, police of the Canarsie station 
announced to-day.  Identification was made last night by her father, Barnett 
GITTLESON, who police said, informed them she had been missing from her home 
since June 21 and had disappeared once before in an amnesia attack.  The 
young woman was found at the foot of Rockaway Avenue in the Canarsie section 
about 4 o'clock Friday morning.  She wore a kimona over her clothing.  Dr.

attention from Ambulance Surgeon SEELEY of St. Catherine's Hospital, they 
recovered and remained at home.  The leak was caused by a broken tube 
connecting with a small gas stove.

Peddler Blames His Tender Heart For Extra Spouse
Says He Married Second Wife in Burst of Sympathy at Her Tears.
     The only reason that Max YACHYNOWITZ, 35 years old, of 28 Bedford 
avenue, also known as Max MANDELSEN, can give for committing bigamy is that 
his second wife, Molly MANDELSEN, with whom he lives, cried that she loved 
him, that he can't bear to see a woman crying and so married her to make her happy.
     His first wife Beckie, who lives at 162 Attorney street, Manhattan is 
the complainant.  She told Detective Harold DAVIDSON, of the Bedford avenue 
station, that she married Max sixteen years ago, that he deserted her several 
months ago and that she finally found him living with his second wife whom he 
married on Jan. 22 of this year at 156 Grand street.
     When taken to the Bedford avenue station, Max did not deny that he had 
married the second time.
     "If my first wife loved me I would never have married again", he said 
Tuesday night just before his pedigree was taken.  "What kick has she got?  I 
have been told that she has married three times."
     "I am a peddler and when I met my second wife she told me she loved me, 
that she must have me and began crying.  I couldn't see her cry so I had to 
marry her.

SPOILS HIS NEW SUIT TO SAVE SLEEPY CAT BUT GLAD HE DID IT
E.D. Motorist Crawls Beneath Car and Rescues Somnolent Tabby
     "There is a humane touch in the breast of every man."
     So declared Larry HALL, sporting man of the Eastern District after he 
had performed a kind act to a cat.
     Stretched beneath the automobile belonging to HALL, as it was parked at 
New and South Fifth street, was a pretty brown cat.  The feline seemed 
pleased with its position and showed no inclination to move.  It was out of 
the warm sun.  To all appearances it was dead. There was not a stir from it.
     HALL was too busy talking to a friend to take any notice of the cat.  To 
have started the car would have meant its certain death.  The conversation 
was soon brought to an end.  HALL buttoned his coat and was about to step 
into his car when he discovered the tail of the animal just beneath the right 
rear wheel.
     "Who had the nerve to kill that cat and put it under my car?"  HALL 
asked of some boys standing nearby.
     "He's not dead, mister," said one of the boys.
     HALL bent down and saw that the cat was breathing.  He shouted at it, 
but all it did was to turn over, stretch a bit then blink its eyes and lie still.
     "I have an important appointment but I am not going to kill that cat." 
HALL declared.
     And beneath the car he crawled until he got hold of it.  He carried it 
to the hallway of a nearby tenement, pushed it in and closed the door.  
     In saving the cat from death HALL got several grease spots on this new 
gray suit.
     "I would rather spoil fifty suits than consciously kill a dumb animal."  
HALL declared as he stepped into his car and drive off pleased with what he 
had done.

SUBWAY BUILDING DISPOSSESS -Order Causes Consternation Among Many Old Residents
     To many of the residents in the vicinity of Ninth and Tenth streets, 
from Fourth to Ninth avenues, the coming of the Smith-Ninth street subway, 
now under construction, is an unalloyed blessing, enthusiastically welcomed.  
To some it means temporary discomfort and inconvenience during 
the process of erection.
     But to a few old-timers, residents and storekeepers who have known their 
present locations as "Home" for from fifteen to forty years, the wheels of 
progress spell heartrending separation from familiar surroundings.  So long 
have they owned and lived in these homes, soon to be razed to make way for 
the new subway that although they some time ago received notice that they 
must vacate by Aug. 1 most of them have made no attempt to find a new location.
     "Where can we go?" asked one puzzled woman.  "Where can we get a house 
as good as this for less than $15,000?  We haven't the money to buy a house 
until the city pays us for the old one. And God knows when that will be."
DOCTORS DRIVEN OUT
     Along Ninth street from Fifth to Ninth avenues the street is torn up, 
access to dwellings and business places is impeded and on the block between 
Seventh and Eighth avenues, known as the "doctor's block" because of the 
number of physicians' homes located thereon, the front stoops in some 
instances have been removed.
     But it is the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth avenues and Ninth and 
Tenth streets that pays the heaviest toll to progress.  All of the structures 
on the south side of Tenth street, from Fourth to Fifth avenues, except 
Woolworth's five and ten cent store on the corner of Fifth avenue will be 
torn down.  In addition, three dwellings on Fourth avenue adjacent to Tenth 
street, and about seven store and apartment buildings on Ninth street near 
Fifth avenue, including the thirty year old McCormick's department store, are 
to be razed.  All have been notified to vacate by Aug. 1.
     Mrs. Mathilda SWEITZER came as a bride just forty years ago last April 
to the red brick house at 331 Tenth street.  There her son, Charles, was born 
thirty six years ago and thee her husband also named Charles died three years 
ago.  Even after her son's marriage and her husband's death Mrs. SWEITZER 
refused to leave the old home.  She let the top floor to a couple and rented 
out some of the other rooms. Until the coming of the subway she had thought 
to live there until her death.  VICTIMS OF PROGRESS
     "It is sad to leave the old house after so many years," she declared 
wistfully. "That's progress I suppose, and I can't blame anybody."
     Mrs. SWEITZER said she had two or three places in mind as her future 
residence, all in the Park Slope section.
     Next door to Mrs. SWEITZER, In 239 Tenth street lives Miss Ada WILCOX.  
For thirty nine years she has occupied the house to which she came with her 
mother and brother as a young girl.  Both have been dead for some years, but 
Miss WILCOX continued to live there taking an apartment on the top floor for 
herself and eking out a fair living renting furnished rooms in the others.
     Mrs. James SCHNEPF has lived at 39 Tenth street twenty-six years.  
Before that she lived across the street.  All of her children were born in 309.       
     I don't know just where we'll go, maybe to Bay Ridge". She said.  "But 
just can't make up our minds.  After living so long on one block, it's kind 
of hard to tear oneself away from it." 
OLD COUPLE BEWILDERED
     Around the corner at 447 Fourth avenue is an old couple who have 
occupied that house nearly forty years.  They were bashful about revealing 
their names and asked that they be withheld.  The same regret that was 
evidenced by the others was apparent as they faced the future.
     "They're taking the roof from over our heads.", said the woman.
     "Not at all." Interposed the man. "they're paying us for it , so you 
can't say they're taking the roof from over our heads.  Just the same it 
makes us feel bad to have to leave these diggings that we know so well."
     Mr. J. Doyle, who lives next door at 449 Fourth avenue, has spent a mere 
fifteen years in that domicile, but even after that comparatively short space 
of time the prospective parting brought tears to her eyes.
     "We love it here," she said.  "We've lived here so long.  I don't know 
what we'll do.  To buy a house with as many rooms would cost us about 
$19,000."
Tailor Loses Trade 
     Samuel SHORR is a tailor at 290 Ninth street.  Twenty six years ago he 
started in business in the shop which he still maintains at that address.  He 
built up a brisk trade, raising five children to manhood and womanhood 
meanwhile.  Ten years ago two of the boys left the apartment which the family 
occupied above the store, to take their places in the ranks of America's 
warriors overseas.
     There was a note of tragedy as SHOOR (as printed??) outlined his plight 
caused by the impending removal.
     "If I were young it would make no difference, but I am too old." He 
mourned.  "I cannot afford to pay the rent they would charge me now in this 
neighborhood where I have built up my business.  It means that I must build 
from the bottom up again in a new neighborhood, where nobody knows me, and 
I'm too old."

CLEARING GROUND  For Home For St. Catharine's Nurses
     One four-story brick building and two three-story frame structures on 
the southwest corner of Bushwick avenue and mujer street are being razed to 
make way for the new nurses' home of St. Catherine's Hospital.
     When the home is completed it will be directly opposite the hospital and 
will furnish an easy means for the nurses to get to and from the hospital.  
The home will be one of the finest of its kind in the city and will represent 
an investment of nearly $50,000, it is said.
     At the present time the nurses' home is located in the old KIEBFLEISCH 
mansion at Power street and Bushwick avenue.  Just as soon as the new home is 
completed, the mansion will be put to some other use.  The mansion has stood 
for years as one of the show places in the lower Bushwick section.
     The property that is being razed had stores in the bottom floor and 
living apartments above.  The nurses will be able to dodge the elements of 
the weather when their new home is finished.  As it is now they have to walk 
two long blocks to get to and from the hospital.

6 July 1928
Woman Surrenders Deserted Infant
     Mrs. Minnie KUMMER, of 1923 Madison street, Ridgewood, yesterday 
afternoon walked into Glendale police station carrying a blue-eyed six-months 
old baby.  She told Lieut. Joseph GREENE that on June 20 a young woman, who 
gave her name as Margie OWENS, of  349 East Ninety-first street, Manhattan, 
came to her home and asked that Mrs. KUMMER board the infant.
     The woman paid Mrs. KUMMER $7. and said that she would call to see the 
baby regularly.  This she failed to do, Mrs. KUMMER declared.  A letter to 
the Ninety-first street address was returned with the notation that no one 
was known there by that name.
     Policewoman Hannah MEONCH took the infant to the foundling ward at Kings 
County Hospital, and Detective James T. CONNOLLY was given the task of trying 
to find the mother.  



Unidentified Woman Found Suffering from Amnesia
     Patrolman Leo USTICK, of the Canarsie station was walking along Rockaway 
avenue early today when he found an unidentified woman about 20 years old, 
140 pounds and 5 feet 5 inches tall wandering through the storm.
     The policeman stopped the woman and asked her several questions which 
she failed to answer.  She was taken to the station house where Dr. HEINRICK 
from Brownsville and East New York Hospital examined the woman and found that 
she was a victim of amnesia. She was taken to Kings County Hospital.
     The woman has dark brown bobbed hair, and brown eyes.  She wore no hat.  
She had on a black dress, black shoes, light colored stockings and wore a 
colored kimona.  She had a wedding ring on.
     The police of the Canarsie station are investigating the case.

Uninvited, Jumps and Breaks a Leg
Taxi Driver Captured After Threatening Woman and Leap From Window.
     A visit to the Brooklyn Baptist Orphanage, 2200 Ocean avenue, suffering 
a broken leg and being held a prisoner on charges of unlawful entry and 
attempted felonious assault.
     CONNELL insists he was invited to call at the orphanage, but Mrs. 
Margaret HARGREAVES, superintendent: Miss Hattie GREEN, supervisor of the 
boys' department, and James TICKETT, colored caretaker, told police the man 
had entered the place without their knowledge or request.
     Miss GREEN is the complaintant in the assault charge.  She says CONNELL 
threatened to kill her with a carving knife which he had in his possession, 
if she screamed.  Despite the threat, the woman did call for help and Mrs. 
HARGREAVES responded.
     CONNELL clambered through the window of Miss GREEN's room onto a small 
balcony and when he heard TICKETT also running to the rescue, jumped to the 
ground, some twenty five feet below.  The fall broke his right leg and he was 
unable to move.
     Patrolman John BARIS, of Sheepshead station, called an ambulance from 
Coney Island Hospital, where CONNELL was taken a prisoner.  On the way to the 
hospital CONNELL insisted he was asked to call at the home.  He was unable to 
explain why he chose such and early hour, however.  The women deny ever 
seeing the man before and refute his statement of being invited to call.
     Detective John MCDONALD will question CONNELL later  today. 

Policeman Is Held on Woman's Charge of Stealing $154.
Charged with taking $154 from the handbag of Mrs. Marie PARRETT, a nurse of 
1852 Broadway, early today, Patrolman Clement DRUMONDO, 29, attached to the 
Sheepshead Bay station, who lives at 1630 West Second street, was placed 
under arrest by order of Capt. Charles BARRETT, of the Sheepshead Bay station 
and taken before Magistrate RUDICH in Coney Island court today on a charge of 
grand larceny.  He pleaded not guilty and was held for a hearing in $2,000 
bail for next Tuesday. 
Mrs. PARRETT says she was at the home of another nurse, Mrs. Julia MUZZY of 
480 Kings highway, last night when a call came from a patient in another part 
of the borough.  Benjamin BERNARD, husband of a patient, who lives in the 
same house as Mrs. MUZZY volunteered to go along, Mrs. PARRETT says.
     When they got to the street, Patrolman DRUMONDO, who knew BERNARD, asked 
them where they were going and offered to get a taxi for them.  He called a 
taxi driven by a friend, Isadore FREEDMAN, of 1901 Ocean parkway, and got in 
the front seat with FREEDMAN, taking Mrs. PARRETT on his lap, according to 
her story.  BERNARD and Mrs. MUZZY sat on the rear seat.  During the ride, 
Mrs. PARRETT says, DRUMONDO made improper advances to her anD when she 
resisted, told her, BERNARD and Mrs. MUZZY to get out. 
     They did so, and then Mrs. PARRETT found her handbag gone.  The taxi 
turned about and went back the way it had come.
     Riding in another taxi back to the place where they had picked up the 
patrolmen, they asked him if he had seen the pocketbook.  He said he had not. 
 A little later they found it, empty, on the stoop of the BERNARD home, and 
notified police of Sheepshead Bay Station.  Detective John MC DONALD 
questioned FREEDMAN, who said he saw the pocketbook on the floor after the 
party had left the taxi and witnessed the patrolman taking out money and 
papers from it.
      Deputy Commissioner John A. LEACH suspended DRUMONDO.  The accused 
patrolman was handcuffed to a police sergeant in court.

Sick Fireman Rescues Boys as Raft Sinks
     Two Coney Island boys are recovering today from the effects of a dunking 
they received in Coney Island Creek last night when their improvised raft 
made from a bed spring capsized.  Robert BATTERSON, 8 years old, of 2720  
West Third street and Jerry VALENTINO, 10, of 2710 West Third street, Coney 
Island, were rescued by Fireman James HENNESSY, of 2743 West Third street, 
attached to Truck Company 161, at West Eighth street. 
     HENNESSY, who was on sick leave, heard the screams of the boys as the 
raft sank and rushed to the creek.  He dived into the shallow water and 
succeeded in keeping the lads from sinking into the mud.  He was assisted by 
Walter CLEVELAND, 40, of 2702 West Third street, who saw he was finding 
difficulty in helping both boys.
     The VALENTINO boy was taken to the Coney Island Hospital.  BATTERSON was 
sent home.

Protests Moving of Flatbush House
Clarence FUHRER, of 1300 Kenmore place, today sent a letter to Borough 
President BYRNE complaining about the moving of a building in his 
neighborhood.  He asks why city employees clean up the debris following the 
moving of a building.  His letter reads, in part, as follows:
     It is incumbent on me to inquire why the building erected at Ocean 
avenue and Avenue K has been permitted to be moved through Avenue K and down 
East Twenty-first street, destroying property and the peace and quiet of the 
neighborhood for private gain, and also why the city employees clean up the 
debris after the building has passed.
     "Especially at this time of the year the moving of this building seems 
to me to be one of gross impertinence, not only on the part of the person who 
owns the building but on the part of the city authorities who permitted the 
moving of it and of the destruction of trees, the general disturbance and 
annoyance of the property owners and tenants on this street, the blocking of 
the street and preventing the free movement of automobiles from private 
garages.
  "Why should this be?"


Nurse Prevents Bankers Death in Window Leap
Clings to Leg Until Exhausted, Cushions and Mattress Break Fall From Fourth Floor
     Horace F. POOR, wealthy banker, is under attendance in Polyclinic 
Hospital, Manhattan, today after a weird experience.
     He attempted to jump from the fourth story window of SHILLINGER's 
Sanitarium, 14 W. Fifty-fifth street, Manhattan, early today.  His nurse, 
Miss RANDOLPH, held him dangling by one leg, until a pile of cushions had 
been placed on the ground beneath him to break the fall, and police and taxi 
drivers had spread a blanket-net.
     Mr. POOR is president of the Garfield National Bank, Twenty-third street 
and Fifth avenue, Manhattan.  He is 50 years old.  He lives with his family 
at 59 Polify road, Hackensack, N.J.  He came to the sanitarium three weeks 
ago for treatment for a nervous disorder, the police understood.
     Early today, according to the police accounts, Miss RANDOLPH saw her 
patient standing by the window in his nightgown.  She caught his leg just as 
he plunged over, the police say.
     Clutching the patient's leg with both hands, the slender nurse screamed 
as loudly as she could.  A battery of taxi drivers parked in front of the 
nearby Hotel Gotham heard her.  Some of the drivers rushed to the sanitarium 
wall with seat cushions to break Mr. POOR's fall, if he dropped.  Others blew 
their horns so vigorously that Patrolmen LATCHFORD and O'NEILL, of the West 
Forty seventh street station, came on the run from their post at Fifth avenue 
and Fifty fourth street.
     The policemen commandeered a mattress and a blanket from the Hotel 
Gotham.  With the aid of the taxi drivers, they piled the cushions on the 
pavement, with the mattress on top.   Miss RANDOLPH shouted: "I can't hold 
him much longer!"
     Aided by the taxi drivers and Capt. ABEHELK, U.S.A. of 356 East Fifty 
eighth street, the policemen and the blanket spread out on a landing net.  
They gave the signal to Miss RANDOLPH to let go.
     The banker dropped heavily and swiftly, striking ledges and cornices as 
he fell.  He hit the blanket with such force that some of the men holding it 
were knocked down. Mr. POOR was immediately bundled in a taxi and taken to 
Polyclinic Hospital.  It was found he had suffered contusions of the elbows, 
shoulders and legs and possible internal injuries.

Girl Baby, 7 Days Old, Found in Vestibule
     A female baby, about seven days old, dressed in white clothing wrapped 
in a blue blanket was found on the floor of the vestibule at 11 Clinton 
street, Brooklyn last night  by Mrs. Kate HUBER, who lives in the apartment 
house at that address. 
     Mrs. HUBER turned the child over to Detectives Hugh RILEY and John 
CORCORAN, of the Poplar street precinct who sent it to the foundling ward at 
the Cumberland Street Hospital.
     Neighbors told police they had seen a tall dark young woman enter the 
vestibule with a bundle in a blue blanket and emerge soon afterwards without 
the bundle.
     The baby has dark hair and eyes and appears to be in excellent health.

Brothers Held After Man Charges Assault
Charles BRENNAN and his brother, Kingdom, both living at 579 Tenth street, 
were held in $2,000 bail each by Magistrate GIORGIO yesterday in the Jamaica 
court to answer on Tuesday in the Far Rockaway Magistrate's Court on a charge 
of felonious assault.
   Fred ANDERSON, of the Delvan House, alleged that he was attacked by the

BOY RESCUES CHUM: ATTEMPT TO SAVE ANOTHER FAILS
Edward RAHOE, 14, Dives Until Exhausted in Effort to Bring Up Body.
     A fourteen year old boy, Edward RAHOE, of 147 Huron street, saved one of 
his playmates from drowning and then dove until he was exhausted to recover 
the body of a second youth in the East River off the foot of Dupont street 
yesterday.
    The drowned boy is Charles KULCZYNSKI, 9, of 97 Dupont street, captain of 
a youthful ball team of the neighborhood.  Charles drowned while Edward was 
struggling to get John ARLIN, 14, of 90 Eagle street, to safety. 
     The boys had been playing baseball in Greenpoint Park, on Franklin 
street.  Warm from their exertion, a swim was proposed.
     The lads rushed to the waters and disported for more than an hour.  John 
became weary and was resting on the dock when he heard Charles cry for help.  
He dove in, raced to the spot and managed to grapple with the boy.  John 
fought off Charles' embraces and tried to bring him to shore.  Both boys 
cried for help as they repeatedly went beneath the surface.
     Edward heard their cries and also swam to the fatal spot.  He managed to 
separate the pair and battled through the water with John.  He reached the 
dock and willing hands lifted John to the pier.
     Edward them churned about and went to the spot where he had last seen 
Charles. No head bobbed above the water and John dove repeatedly.  His 
efforts were futile.
     Patrolman Richard SINNOTT was called and after calling the marine 
division grappled without success for the body.

Police Sergt. Louis GOLDBERG, of the Atlantic Avenue Station, saved a man's 
life yesterday.
He was on patrol at Lincoln place and Troy avenue when he was told by Vito 
CATANVERA or 164 East 10? th street, the Bronx, that there was a 'dead' man 
in the bathroom of an apartment on the second floor of 1251 Lincoln place.  
Sergt. GOLDBERG hurried to the house and found Morris GLASSER, 40, of 224 
Clinton street, Manhattan, apparently dead from gas in the room in which he

Station, sent a bullet through the animal's head, killing it.
NEWMAN was in a police booth at Avenue U and Van Sicklen street when he was 
informed that a dog was snarling and snapping at passersby at West Tenth

sprang at him and bit him.  The policeman then fired on the dog.  NEWMAN had 
the wound cauterized by Ambulance Surgeon BRODIE, of the United Israel-Zion Hospital.

VOYAGER, 104, MAY STAY HERE
Lithuanian Visiting Son in Floral Park, Like America--Set Out Seeking
Adventure
Coming to this country in the belief that before a man grows "really
old" he should see something of the world.  JURGIS SKINDERIS, reputed to
be 104, has found America to his liking--so much so, he said to-day at
his son's home in Floral Park, that he may sell his farm in Lithuania
and send for his wife.
He arrived yesterday on the steamer Lithuania from his home in
Tytavenai, and went to visit his son, JOHN SKINDER, for the past three
years a member of the Floral Park police force.
SKINDERIS weighs 190 pounds, but because of his height- six feet, since
he attained his full growth some eighty years ago-he appears erect and
sprightly.  No man, he said, should stay in one place all his life.  On
the way to the pier from Quarantine, unable to suppress his youthful
exuberance, he danced a sailor's hornpipe.
When asked, through his son as interpreter, if he were the oldest person
ever to make such a voyage,  he laughed at what he considered an absurd
question.  [nothing's changed  ;-)]
"They said," he told his son, "that I never touched liquor."  ("They"
being the official of the Baltic American Line.)  "I can drink
anything.  I stopped smoking eight years ago."  Smoking, he explained,
was becoming a habit with him after sixty-odd years.  "But liquor--" and
he made a correcting gesture intended for erring officialdom.
When the New York skyline was pointed out to him, SKINDERIS looked,
reasonably interested, but not over-awed.  That one becomes accustomed
to seeing strange things during the course of 104 years was evident as
his eyes calmly scanned the shores of the new country.  Then he went on
with his sailor's hornpipe until the photographers asked him to pose.
He is a detective, and before his crossing was employed by banking
houses in Latvia and Lithuania.  He has been married three times and by
his first marriage had six children.  His wife is thirty-seven years
younger than he.
JOHN SKINDER, the son, came to the United States in 1910 and served in
the army thirteen years.  He fought in the World War.

Accused Man, held for Assault Flatly Denies Attempt to Kill Wife.
     Dying in Kings County Hospital today, with a bullet wound in the neck, 
Mrs. Sophia SAFOSCHNIK, told police that her husband Patrolman Edward 
SAFOSCHNIK, of the Brownsville station, shot her in their home, 469 Van 
Sicklen ave. , last night, when she plead she was too hot and tired to iron 
one of his shirts.  In New Jer....ave. court today, SAFOSCHNIK demanded an 
examination.  He was held in $2,500 bail for a hearing on Aug. 16.  The bail 
was furnished by a friend.  
     Doubt was cast on Mrs. SAFOSCHNIK'S story when, in court, Joseph 
MARGOLIS, attorney, of 656 Su.... avenue, representing the accused patrolman, 
told the court that Mrs. SAFOSCHNIK had retracted her earlier story to 
detectives of Mi..... avenue station.  
     MARGOLIS said the wounded woman, in a talk with Assistant District 
Attorney John ENO , ......night , told him she attempted a suicide and was 
wounded when husband tried to wrest the .... from her.
     SAFOSCHNIK who has been on the police force eighteen months, was placed 
under suspension by The Deputy Police Commissioner J....A. LEACH.  He said 
his wife shot herself when he refused to give her wine. 
	Wife Tells of Shooting
     The shooting occurred at about 5 o'clock.  As Mrs. SAFOSCHNIK was being 
taken to the hospital she told detective Lieutenant Harry CONLEY her story.
     "A few minutes before 5 o'clock my husband asked me to iron his shirt 
for him" she said.  "He had been drinking heavily and was i..  table.  I 
said, "All right, " I'll do it in a little while." 
      "He said, Do it right away."  I said, "I'm tired and I'm sick from the 
heat, working with the b....all day.  Just give me fifteen twenty minutes to 
rest.  You didn't have to work until midnight."
Thought He Meant to Clean Gun
     "He sat in a morris chair.  gro.....   and mumbling to himself. .....was 
exhausted.  I sat sown on the lounge.  Then my husband d... his revolver 
fromhis coat ...thought he was going to clean or just look at it.  Before I 
could move he raised it, aimed it at me and fired.  The bullet struck here, " 
pointing to the right ..... of her neck.
     The bullet had passed throught the woman's neck and came out the back, 
left side.. It was later found on the lounge.
     After being shot, she apparently staggered weakly to the front window 
and cried for help.  The .... was found covered with bl.....  where she 
collapsed.  Men  ..... women on stoops in the neighborhood heard her cries 
and rang the front door of the house.  The .... were afraid to go up, 
however, .... known as a dangerous brute ...... wife-beater.
Women Run For Help
     Two women in the crowd ran to the home of Mrs. SAFOSCHNIK's sister, Miss 
Blanche KUCZEK , 551 Hendrix street, around the corner from the SAFOSCHNIK 
house.  Miss KUCZEK at once ran upstairs to her sister's apartment.  She told 
police she met the patrolman at the soor and he, pointing to the crib in 
which his two and a ....... months son, Eddie, lay crying, ...... to her:
     "Take care of the kid.  I'll look after her", meaning the wounded woman.
     Miss KUCZEK said there was ..... bottle half filled with whiskey at the 
table.  She told detectives SAFOSCHNIK was drunk and staggering about.  He 
was arrested by sargeant John GALLAGHER  and taken to the Miller street 
station.
Contradicts Wife's Story
     Questioned, the accused patrolman told an entirely different story from 
that of his wife.  ...... said he came home woth two bottles of wine and was 
sitting in the morris chair, drinking.
     "My wife asked me for a frink of wine, " he said. " I told her I didn't 
want her to drink.  .......picked up my gun which was lying unloaded, on the 
table.  She .... it to the side of her head and ... to me.  "You don't love 
me anymore.  I'm going to kill myself."
      "I took the gun away from her loaded it, and put it in my pocket where 
I thought it would be safe.  I sat down on the chair and s..... she came over 
crying and sat down on the arm.  Before I knew it she got the revolver out of 
holster and ran across the room.  She raised the gun aimed it .... herself, 
and shouted, " You w.... stop me this time."
 Shot Herself He Says
     "I jumped up, grabbed for the gun, but before I could get ... hand on it 
she pulled the trigger.   I did not shoot her.  She shot herself."
     When detectives told him ...... wife's story, he said, "She is ..... 
telling the truth."
      His wife, when informed of husband's story said, "He does ... tell the 
truth.  He shot me. "
     According to neighbors, SAFOSCHNIK has a very bad reputation.  .... is 
known as a drinker and a b...... always quarreling and fighting.  People got 
out of his way when he came along the street,  neighbors said.
     Miss KUCZEK , who took the baby Eddie, to her home, said her sister 
lived inperpetual fear of ... husband.
     Policemen at Miller avenue station last night said the patrolman would 
not be examined by a po...... surgeon.   "It isn't necessary ........not 
drunk," they said.
     They found two bottles of wine in the apartment, they admitted.

IS CRACK SHOT, SAYS GUNGIRL-
15 Year Old Shows No Remorse for Murder Attempt.Shot Her Stepfather
Is Held Without Bail to Await Results.
Without the slightest trace of remorse for the shooting of her stepfather, 
Joseph MEKUSKAUSKAS, Longshoreman, in their home at 615 Forty-first Street, 
Mary MILASUMAS, 15 years old, today related boastfully to police how she had 
practiced for weeks with a pistol in order to insure accuracy when the time 
came to kill him. She was held without bail by Justice HANSON in Children's 
Court, pending the man's recovery.
Mary and her mother, Mrs. Indvise MEKUSKAUSKAS, both claim to have shot 
MEKUSKAUSKAS. Police believe, however, that Mary shot him twice and when she 
dropped the pistol, the mother picked it up and shot three more times. Both 
of the girl's shots took effect in the man's back and one of the mother's 
bullets lodged in his arm, it is said.
Physicians at Methodist Episcopal Hospital believe the man will recover.
Mary declared her stepfather had abused her for the past five years. Some 
time ago she, through her mother, caused the indictment of MEKUSKAUSKAS, but 
he was subsequently found "not guilty" by a jury.
Mrs. MEKUSKAUSKAS was held in $5,000 bail on a charge of felonious assault.

HUNDREDS ROUTED BY $50,000 BLAZE - Fireman Hurt as Flames Peril Tenement
Eighty families were forced to leave their homes early today when a three-alarm

out when the fire appeared dangerous.

BABY DESERTED 4 TIMES, MISSING MOTHER HUNTED
Father, Denied Custody by Court, Stands Ready to Care for Little Girl Now in 
Care of Children's Society
	For the fourth time, left to whatever fate may overtake her, tiny Mary Regina 
KING today was in the custody of the Children's Society.  The father of Mary, 
Daniel KING, of 202 St. John's place, is willing to take care of her.  He has 
so informed the police.  But the baby has been left by court ruling to the care
of her mother, when a legal separation was granted.  The police said KING 
informed them the mother is working at Livingston Manor NY, and they have 
asked the police of that community to look for her.
	Yesterday a woman, whose name the police withheld, took Mary Regina from her 
own home at 461 Dean street to the Bergen street police station.  She told 
Detective John McCARTHY that the child had been placed in her care by the 
mother about a year ago.  But the board bill has not been paid since July 11, 
she said.  The Children's Society is closed on Sunday, so she agreed to keep 
Mary Regina overnight, and take her there today.
	The baby has been abandoned before, McCARTHY said that police records show, 
at 1740 Bleecker street, 92 St. Marks place, and on the steps of the Brooklyn 
Domestic Relations Court on Schermerhorn street.  KING told the police another 
child was also given to the custody of his wife, and that he pays her $20 a 
week under the court agreement.

28 August 1928
SLEEPING POLICEMAN ROBBED IN SUBWAY, BATTLES THIEVES
Patrolman MAHAN Roused From Slumber on Fourth Avenue Train by Pickpockets - 
Catches One, Other Escapes
Two men who robbed a policeman while he slept in a Fourth avenue subway 
train early today were attacked by their victim, whose revolver they had 
taken, as they started to alight at the Ninety-fifth street station.  One 
man was captured, the second escaped.
	Patrolman Peter J. MAHAN, of Fifth avenue station, was tired after a hard 
night's work when he boarded the train shortly after midnight for his home 
in Woodside.  He was in civilian clothes.  He sank into sound slumber, and 
rode all the way to the Queens Plaza terminal.  He still slept as the train 
proceeded back.  Near Prospect avenue, he was roused from his sleep by the 
fumbling of fingers in his pockets.  Awaking to find he already had been 
relieved of his revolver, he feigned sleep while the pickpocket took his 
$50 wrist watch and $6 in cash.  Then he kept a vigil over them out of 
slightly open eyes as they remained in the car, passing several stations.
	As the suspects started out at the terminal, MAHAN leaped at them, battling 
the two men and managing to cling onto one while the other slipped his grasp 
and fled.  In the scuffle, MAHAN's stolen gun was dropped to the trackbed.  
After the scrap, he handcuffed his prisoner and took him on a hop to the 
tracks, regaining his weapon.  But the watch and cash had disappeared with 
the fugitive.
	The man under arrest, identifying himself as Charles WHITE, 39, of 307 
Seventy-second street, faced arraignment today in Fifth avenue court on a 
charge of grand larceny.  MAHAN was cut under an eye in the scuffle.

SLASHING FOLLOWS QUARREL OVER GIRL, POLICE CHARGE
An argument over a girl, the police say, was the cause of Luigi CINEQUE, 
24 years old, of 208 Humboldt street, being arrested on a charge of felonious 
assault.  When arraigned in the Bridge plaza police court before Magistrate 
GOLDEN, he pleaded not guilty and was held in $1,000 bail for examination on Sept. 7.
According to the police CINEQUE argued with Frank PELLERGRINO, 24 years old, 
of 222 Jackson street, in a poolroom at Withers street and Graham avenue.  
They went to the street to fight it out.  CINEQUE, the police say, pulled 
a pocket knife and slashed PELLERGRINO three times on the right arm and face.

SURPRISE PARTY FOR AHRINGER, 70    
Native of Greenpoint, Is Honored by Friends
Seventy friends of John AHRINGER gathered last night at the Alpha Building, 
138 Nassau avenue, and gave him a surprise party in honor of his seventieth 
birthday.  He was born in Greenpoint.
Brought to the clubhouse by a notice that the Old Greenpointers Association 
was to hold a special meeting, he was surprised to find the large reception 
room in the building decorated with flags and bunting.  Then it dawned on 
him what it was all about as the friends, wearing fezes, came rushing into the room.  
Tables were quickly set and dinner was served.  Richard WRIGHT presented 
AHRINGER with a gold-topped umbrella and a leather wallet.  The guest of 
the evening stammered his thanks.  A fine entertainment was given.  
The entertainers were 
Jacob HAIBIEL, 
Jack O'BRIEN, 
James McGUIRE 
Jim GILL and Billy DUNNE.
The affair was arranged by a committee composed of 
Walter P. CASEY, 
William BROWN, 
Howard LANGVILLE, 
Frederick HAUPERT, 
Richard WRIGHT and James H. MURRAY.

POLICE SEEK 20 REPORTED MISSING HERE
Seventeen Boys and Girls Included in Number Listed in Week

record number of Brooklynites to take vacations - without telling 
anyone of their intention to do so.

A five-dollar bill proved to be the solution of one of three mysterious 
disappearances of young girls, with the return today of
Constance WENSON, 15 years old, of 80-69 Eighty-seventh road, Woodhaven.  
Miss WENSON, absent from her home since Aug. 8, has been located at the 
home of a girl friend, [line(s) missing]
	Miss MANCUSO left her home a week ago yesterday, and Miss GAUTHIER 
Wednesday night.  Police of the Missing Persons Bureau are redoubling 
efforts to locate these two girls, it was announced.
	Constance WENSON, attractive brunette, with brown eyes and bobbed hair, 
explained that her mother had given her a $5 bill and sent her to pay 
the electric light bill.  She lost it on the way, she said, and was 
afraid to go home after that.  She then decided to visit her friend, 
Helen WILSON, who lives at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, she said.
"I lived with Helen, and for few days, I worked in a candy store," 
she told Detectives Charles NOYE and Patrick COTTER.  
"Then I got tired of that and went to live with Grace.  
We like to swim, and we went to the swimming pool at 
Coney Island every day."
	Constance was to be a student of St. Barbara's Parochial School.  
She was graduated from St. Thomas' Parochial School in June last, and 
had made application to enter St. Barbara's.
	She was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. WENSON about eight years ago after 
she had been orphaned by the death of her mother.  She was born in the 
Williamsburg section.  Mrs. WENSON said yesterday that a friend had 
told her she saw Constance walking along Jamaica avenue with a strange 
woman.  She said she was going to the movies.
	When asked if her disappearance had been due to scoldings she 
had reported to have received at home, Constance said, 
"No, but I didn't like the idea of losing $5, the money for the light bill.  
I didn't want to go home and tell them I had done that."

HAS DAY IN COURT - YOUTH ARRESTED TWICE - PATROLMAN MENACED
Louis WEINER, 21 years old, of 763 Saratoga avenue, had his day yesterday in 
New Jersey avenue court.  He was charged with loitering at Saratoga and 
Livonia avenues by Patrolman Jacob ABOWITZ of the Liberty avenue station.  
After being arrested and bailed out he returned to the same place and was 
again arrested by the same patrolman.
	The patrolman stated that when he took his prisoner to the candy store of 
Sam SIEGEL, 26, of 783 Saratoga avenue, to telephone for the patrol wagon, 
the latter threatened to strike him with a bottle.  SIEGEL was then placed 
under arrest charged with disorderly conduct.
	Both were found guilty on all of the charges by Magistrate Charles H. 
HAUBERT and given suspended sentences.

COURT RAPS POLICEMAN FOR FRIVOLOUS ARRESTS
"Why don't you get thieves and those persons who 'skin' the public at 
Coney Island games instead of bringing these people into court for playing 
ball on the beach and doing acrobatic stunts?"
	So Magistrate David HIRSHFIELD in the Coney Island court yesterday 
afternoon asked Patrolman Richard REILLY, of the Coney Island station, 
who appeared against six young men whom he had summoned to court for 
infractions of the ordinances regulating the beach.
	Patrolman REILLY made no reply to the question.  
The magistrate suspended sentence in the cases.

was closing a window on a Flatbush avenue car at Nevins street during the

Flatbush Girls Hurt In Wreck Will Recover; Three From Brooklyn, 
Train Crash Victims, in Amsterdam Hospital; Hurts Not Serious; 
Two Of Them Are Teachers on Return From Vacation Trip to Coast
     Conditions of the three Brooklyn girls injured yesterday near Fonda, 
New York, in a train derailment, were reported not serious at their homes 
here to-day.
     Parents of all the girls had been in touch with them by long distance 
telephone calls to St. Mary�s Hospital, Amsterdam, near Fonda.
     At Miss MAGEE�s home this morning it was said [that] the young 
woman was the most painfully injured of the three Brooklynites and that

WOMAN 72, REGRETS DIVORCE
	Mother of Nine Returns Repentant After Week of Pining
"Would ye seek to know a woman's heart?  Ask of the wind where it bloweth or 
the rivers why they poureth into the sea."  Thus spoke the Hebrew prophets of old.  
And today Joseph MINDLIN, 72, sits in his home at 248 Snediker avenue and 
reflects on the truth his ancesters [sic] uttered thousands of years ago.
	His wife, Sophie, also 72, is with him again after trying out life as a 
divorcee for one week.  For forty-nine years of toiling; 
a few bitter tears and vain regrets, a few sunny smiles and flashes of joy.  
Children came: Hyman, Isidore, Louis, Frank, Alex, Sarah, 
Florence, Lene, Jennette.
	Watched Family Grow
Side by side they worked for them; cared for them; watched them grow up and marry.  
Now, besides the nine children, twenty-three grandchildren grace the board at 
family reunions, throwing love and sunlight into the hearts of the aged couple.  
	But last week Sophie wanted a divorce.  And as is the ancient Jewish custom, 
she took Joseph to the Rabbi.  They would lay their case before him for his 
decision.  Rabbi FINKLESTEIN listened gravely to the story of their troubles.  
Very well, said he when they were finished, Sophie should have her divorce.  
And Sophie was divorced.  One week later the woman who for forty-nine years had 
been Mrs. MINDLIN came to the rabbi again.
	Not All Sunshine
Things were not going so well with her, she told him.  Her children and 
grandchildren had pleaded with her.  Perhaps the divorce had been a mistake.  
She believed she would like to go back to Joseph after all.  And it was done.
	Today the nine children and the twenty-three grandchildren of the old people 
are happy in the reunion they effected.  It was all a misunderstanding, they say.  
It was just a mistake.
	But perhaps wise Rabbi FINKLESTEIN made no mistake.  Perhaps he thought, 
as he granted the decrees, of the ancient sages' words - and sought not to 
know a woman's heart.  Instead, he gave her what she wanted.

JOHN COLLINS, OF BAY RIDGE, WHOSE FAMILY THOUGHT HIM LOST AT SEA 52 YEARS AGO, 
FINDS IN MINNEAPOLIS BROTHER LUKE, BORN AFTER HIS DISAPPEARANCE
	Two brothers, one nearing seventy-six and the other a few months past sixty, 
have met for the first time.  The elder brother never knew that he had a 
younger brother, and the younger believed that the elder had been drowned 
fifty-two years ago.
	The elder brother is John COLLINS, 465 Forty-sixty street, who followed 
the sea for half a century, and the younger is Luke COLLINS, a passenger 
engineer on the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad.  By an 
odd quirk of circumstance, Luke was engineer on the train which brought 
his brother to Milwaukee when he went seeking a trace of his long lost family.
	The COLLINS family, with small means, arrived in New York from Ireland 
in 1865, when the troops were returning from the Civil War.  John COLLINS 
was then fourteen years of age and Luke had not been born.  The family 
went to Norwich, Conn., where the father obtained work and began to save 
money with which to take his family further West.  Before the family 
was able to move, however, John, who had a liking for the sea, 
shipped before the mast.  
	During the first few years he wrote to his mother, but those were the 
days of slow mails, and voyages in wind jammers often took six months or 
a year.  The last letter received from John by his parents was written 
from New Orleans in 1876.  In this letter he said that he was about 
to sail on the Success, a sailing vessel, for Genoa, Italy, with a 
cargo of cotton and that the voyage would take six months.  He asked 
his mother to write to him at the Italian port, and she did so.
	The Success left New Orleans, was never heard of again, and the 
family assumed that John had gone down with the vessel.  Shortly after, 
the family moved to Cedarburg, a small town twenty-five miles from Milwaukee.  
John, however, had not sailed on the Success.  At the last moment he 
sailed on another ship for Cardiff, and never reached Genoa, where a 
letter was waiting for him telling him where the family had gone.
	He wrote to Connecticut but the letters were not forwarded.  It was 
several years before he was again in New York and he could find no trace 
of his people in Norwich.  He gave up the search in the belief that they 
had died.  Some time later John tried to find traces of his brother, Ira, 
who now lives in Michigan, and his sister, Mrs. James LYNCH, who lives 
at Cedarburg, Wis.  He met with no success and went back to the sea.
	"It was around the world for me," he explains.  "I sailed to the 
China coast, the Sandwich Islands, to the Fijis and to Pitcairn.  I 
was in Calcutta when Garfield was shot, and I remember I was off the
 coast of China at the time of the great Chicago fire.  It was a great 
life in those days and China was a grand country, except for the missionaries.  
If I was a young man I would go back to China as fast as an airplane 
would take me."
	But thirty years ago he returned to New York and married.  So he settled down, 
working in the shipyards.  Three daughters were born and are now married.  
All are living in Brooklyn.  His wife died a few years ago.
	Mr. COLLINS determined to renew his efforts to find his family.  
He found a woman who had known his mother and from her he learned 
that the family had moved to Cedarburg, Wis.  He wrote to the chief 
of police and obtained definite information.  It was while he was on 
his way from Chicago to Milwaukee and Cedarburg, a nearby village, 
that he rode behind his brother's engine.
	"Yes," he said, "and my sister's son was in the navy during the war 
and was stationed at Brooklyn.  I live only two blocks from the barracks 
and he passed my house nearly every day.  He used the subway station
frequently and handed his tickets to my daughter, who is employed there.  
He went to the Knights of Columbus Clubhouse frequently and at the same 
time as my son-in-law did - and neither knew it.  One son-in-law was 
a paymaster at the Brooklyn station and paid his cousin off - and 
neither knew it.  Some funny things happen."
	The sea is not what it used to be for a young man, Mr. COLLINS says. 
"These hell wagons now," he said, "it's sails for me."

GIRL, 12, SHOWS TEETH MARKS
HELEN RADLOFF FRIGHTENED AS SHE ACCUSES HER STEPMOTHER IN COURT
	A second ordeal of facing the stepmother she accuses of torturing her 
awaits 12-year-old Helen RADLOFF.  It is a case in which the complainant, 
instead of the accused, is the reluctant witness.
	The thin, white-faced little girl had to be comforted and encouraged by 
attendants when she appeared in the Long Island magistrate's court.  
No more harm could come to her, they told her.  Helen darted a frightened 
glance, however, in the direction of Mrs. Grace RADLOFF, 27, of 18-37 
Twenty-first road, Astoria, when she held up her hand yesterday for 
Magistrate DALY to examine.  The spots on her hand, Helen told the court, 
were teeth marks.
	Before the Magistrate's desk stood Mrs. RADLOFF, bobbed hair, seeming 
as frightened as her stepdaughter.  Between sobs she denied having 
mistreated the child and asked that the case brought up by the Children's 
Society of Astoria be postponed.  Judge DALY granted a continuance until 
Sept. 10, holding Mrs. RADLOFF in $2500 bail.
	According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 
at Whose instance Mrs. RADLOFF was arrested, she is said to have bitten 
the little girl about the face, neck, hands and body.  On one occasion, 
the girl related, her stepmother thrust a tooth brush down Helen's throat.
	Neighbors are said to have heard the girl cry, and called attention 
of the Children's Society to the case.  On Tuesday the woman was taken 
into custody by Detectives Julius STEINHAUSER and Edmund POWERS, on an 
order issued by Judge HOYT of the Jamaica Children's Court.
	Mrs. RADLOFF told detectives she married RADLOFF four years ago.

MUM MYSTERY GIRL BAFFLES QUIZZERS HERE
Young Woman, Held as Milk Thief, Defies Linguists
TAKEN AFTER CHASE
Barelegged, Oddly Clad Prisoner, Believed to Be Gypsy
Mum for many hours, a girl who will not tell defied efforts of police 
third degree experts, persuasive court officials and nimble-tongued 
interpreters, today, to draw a single syllable from her sealed lips, 
following her arrest on a charge of pilfering milk from doorsteps.
She is in Kings County Hospital, to which she was transferred for observation 
after four conventional languages failed of response.  English, Spanish, 
French and Italian - all were exhausted of large vocabularies.  But the 
girl of mystery, supposedly a gypsy, about twenty years of age, merely 
looked slightly sullen and wouldn't even smile, shrug her shoulders or 
become expressive with her hands.
Bare of legs, she wore white sneakers, soiled; a silken black skirt, a 
bathing suit and an Indian blanket, which draped her shoulders and also 
served as a bonnet covering her jet black tresses.  Police pronounced the 
bright-eyed, olive-skinned girl pretty.
She was arrested at 3:30 AM today after a chase of several blocks.  
M. MURINS, of 17-11 East Forty-fifth street, said he saw her take three 
bottles of milk - valued at 51 cents - from his doorstep.  Giving chase, 
he was joined by William FINLAN, of 49-12 Glenwood road, milkman, and 
Patrolman John HEALY of Parkville station.  They closed in on the girl 
at East Forty-sixth street and Kings Highway.  She wouldn't talk in 
the police station.
She wouldn't talk later in Flatbush court before Magistrate Harry H. DALE.  
Even when Francis B. DAY, one of the champion skilled linguists in the 
city's service, became volubly coaxing in all four languages at his command.
So the magistrate decided to let the doctors and nurses try.

FINDS KIN LOST 20 YEARS, BUT LOSES "TWIN SISTER"
Letter From Supposed 'Friend' Leads William HART to Discovery of Real 
Brothers and Sisters
       Reunion with two brothers and two sisters he did not know he had, 
discoveery that the girl he had been led to believe was his twin sister is no 
relation and that the name he has borne for twenty years is not his, are the 
experiences that have changed the course of life for William HART, 26, of 884 
Nostrand avenue.
       He is an employee of a Municipal filling station at Bedford avenue and 
Eastern Parkway.
       The upheaval in his life was brought about by chance after relatives 
in Philadelphia had seaarched sixteen years for trace of him.
       The chance was a letter applying for a job from some one he supposed 
was a friend of his foster parents - whom he supposed to be his read parents, 
while the "friend" evidently was one of his unknown relatives.
       HART's odd life story was discloosed in Philadelphia by Mrs. Sue 
POTTER, who  told of searching for her brother for years after he was 
spirited away at the age of 6 after his mother's death.
       HART could not be reached when an effort was made to obtain his 
reactions and plans, but it was said in Philadelphia he will change his name 
soon to FURNESS. which Mrs. POTTER said is her family name.
       At the mother's death, Mrs. POTTER said, William was sent to a 
neighbor family in Camden to spend a week, and that family, named HART, took 
him to Nashville, Tenn., without knowledge of his relatives. He had been 
reared with Mrs. Jessica HART TROGAN, 26, and given the impression she was 
his twin, Mrs. POTTER revealed.
       Mrs. TROGAN, a  widow whose husband was killed in South America 
several years ago, the dispatch from Philadelphia said, lived with William 
until he discovered his true identity and visited his kin in Philadelphia, 
then she disappeared, apparently fearful developments had killed Williams's 
brotherly regard.  
       The letter written by HART was addressed to 2825 River Road,, Camden, 
N. J., which was his home at the time he was taken away as a child from his 
family, although he supposed it the home of friends of his "parents."
       The envelope bore no name.
       Present occupants of the house sent it to a former occupant and in 
turn it was turned over to HART's relatives, who, besides Mrs. POTTER, are: 
George FURNESS, of 2063 East Somerset street, Edward FURNESS and Mrs. Harry 
ROTZ, of 3319 Collins street, which is also Mrs. POTTER's address.

TWO CONEY GIRLS ATTEMPT SUICIDE
Taken to Hospital After Sipping Poison on Street
       Two young girls who drank iodine as they were walking along the street

Rose LaTRULIO, 17, of 2751 Ocean Parkway, Coney Island.
       Miss LaTRULIO, according to Policeman Thomas DOWNS, told him she was 
dejected after a spat with a boy friend. After sipping poison from a bottle, 
she was found by a pedestrian, leaning against a tree at Ocean parkway and 
Neptune avenue, moaning in agony. Ambulance Surgeon LANDMAN took her to Coney 
Island Hospital.

Bath Junction.

MAN FRACTURED SKULL IN FALL AT GAS STATION

       He was in critical condition this afternoon, and police attribute the 
suicide attempt to grief that grew continuously in the fifteen years since his 
wife's death.
       George ROBINSON, Jr. 15, who lives with relatives at 565 East 
Ninety-fifth street, visited his father's room last night. Finding a pool of blood, he

SON OF U.S. BUT PARENTS MAY BE SENT TO DIFFERENT LANDS
Man and WIfe, Former Brooklynites, Face Deportation to Different Continents - 
Baby Born Here
(Special to Standard Union)
Philadelphia, Sept. 17 - Tangled in a combination of immigration 
technicalities, a family of three former residents of Brooklyn today face a 
deportation separation that may send husband and wife to separate countries 
on different continents and by force of circumstances isolate a native 
American baby from his homeland.
The family consists of Avelino PANTOJA, 36, a Mexican, who has obtained 
second citizenship papers, Mrs. Frances Bennett PANTOJA, 23, an Englishwoman, 
who came to the United States from Argentina, and their son, George, two years.
Federal Judge DICKINSON holds their fate, in an application by immigration 
authorities for deportation of PANTOJA to Mexico and Mrs. PANTOJA to Argentina.
PANTOJA landed in America in 1919 as a seaman, on a temporary passport, but 
went to sea later, returning in September, 1925.  It is the latter date on 
which officials base the three year residence period required for exemption 
from deportation.
He met his future wife on the steamer American Legion from Argentina to New 
York.  She was governess in the employ of D.H. DITLEVSER of Garden City, L.I. 
Her deportation is asked on the grounds that special permission for her 
entrance to the United States expired when she left DITLEVSER's employ.  She 
was in Buenos Aires when DITLEVSER employed her
The couple were married ten days after the ship docked.  After a year in 
Brooklyn they came to Philadelphia in 1926.
By right of birth the baby is an American, but his disposition in event the 
application is successful hinges on arrangements his parents will make.

THREE-STORY FALL IN SLEEP FAILS EVEN TO SCRATCH HIM
Family Doubts Themis' Story, but Neighbor Who Saw Plunge From Window Declares 
It's No Fairy Tale
If the two Boston Baseball clubs win the pennants this year a million 
baseball fans would be shouting that it is "luck," but Themis TORLIGES, 32, 
of 119 Park Place, thinks he has more luck than the Braves and Red Sox would 
have if they cop the pennants.
Themis was walking in his sleep at 4 am today when he mistook a window of his 
home for a doorway and fell three stories into a grass plot in front.
Themis awakened quickly when he hit the ground.  He shook himself and felt 
all right.  He walked back into the house, awakened everybody and announced 
that he had fallen from the window.  There was some doubt cast upon Themis' 
announcement that he fell three stories.
John HOGAN, of 115 Park Place, backed up Themis' story.  HOGAN said he was 
standing on the stoop of his home and saw Themis fall from his window.
Dr. DEWITT was called from Methodist Episcopal Hospital.  he gave Themis an 
examination and could not find a scratch on Themis.  Themis went back to 
sleep after policemen, doctors, reporters, neighbors and milkmen left the 
house, all agreeing that Themis was "one lucky guy."

Man,Near Death,Won't Name Man Who Shot Him   
Near death in Englewood,Nj Hospital to-day with three bullets near 
his heart. A man who identified himself as Emil IORIO,21, of 12 Gunther 
place, refused to talk to police and would tell no one where,when oof by 
whom he was wounded.
Dragging himself to a door of the house of Mrs.Louise B.HOGG on Woodlawn 
avenue,Englewood, IORIO collapsed as he pushed a bell early yesterday.
Answering the summons,Mrs.HOGG found the wounded man lying unconscious 
across the steps.
Weakening as the police questioned him,the youth lapsed into a semi-coma.
Police believe he was taken for a ride,riddled by a gunman companion in 
an automobile and  dumped out for dead.

Officer Who Checked Bridge,Retires After 44 Years
George LAUTERBORN,who joined the Brooklyn Police force May 24,1883,
to-day put in his papers for retirement on Sept 15,after forty-five 
years of continuous service.He says here after his time will be devoted 
to cheering the Yanks to victory in the American League and then in 
the World Series.
When LAUTERBORN joined the force Brooklynites were riding to work in 
horse cars and on bicycles with big front wheels,and a trip to Manhattan 
had,until shortly before,been considered quite a journey.Then the Brooklyn 
Bridge was completed and opened to traffic.
Then the new and young policeman-he is now seventy-four years old-was
assigned to patrol the great span.For years he continued on duty at the 
bridge,being taken into the consolidated New York force when the two cities 
combined their gooverment in 1899.
When he retires,the veteran Brooklyn patrolman will receive $1,200 a year.
He is now serving in the office of the Chief Clerk of the department in 
Manhattan.
A son,Frank, is assigned to the Bureau of Information in the same headquarters.
He served with the American Expeditionary Forces in France,was gassed, and 
won high commendation for his faithful performances of duty as a soldier. 
A second son,Matthew,who was also a member of the police force, died two years ago.
LAUTERBORN'S home is at 283-12 Newgall street,Rosedale,Long Island.

Heroine Confesses When Rescued Child
    Until to-day,Marie MAHONEY had succeeded in keeping back,the 
story of how she saved the life of little Eileen BURNS-which probably 
establishes Marie as the modest heroine on record. 
Marie is 12, Eileen is only 5.
    For a week they have kept it to themselves-the struggle in the 
water,and the rescue,and the hard pull to safety.Marie had made them 
all promise not to tell,all who saw it happen, because "she didn"t 
want alot of fuss.''  But Eileen told.
   ''Yes,but let's not talk about it,shall we''? That's Maries 
''confession'',made today at her home,1091 Lorimer street.She was a 
little vexed and perplexed 
by the "fuss" but when it was agreed not to talk alot,her small and very 
tanned face brightened.
    Police Lieut.Michael KELLY,of the Herbert street station,is Marie's 
uncle. He has a summer home at Bay Park,and Marie spent the summer there.
Last Thursday several children went swimming in the lake,Eileen was one of them.
    In the midst of the fun Eileen shouted for help,she had gotten into deep 
waters,but in their sudden consternation the other children and the grownups 
standing on the bank only strood still in horror.
    Marie dashed in after the child when she saw that she was drowning.The 
water was over Marie's head too,but she finally succeeded in bringing the 
panic-stricken little girl ashore,Eileen was given first aid treatment and 
went home.    Marie's first act,as soon as Eileen was taking care of,was 
to call all those who witness the rescue and make them promise to keep it 
a secret-because of her dred of a 'fuss', they all agree,and kept their word.
    But Eileen,who lives in Woodside,told her mother,and her mother told 
Mr & Mrs. Thomas MAHONEY, Marie's parents, and so the story goes out.
    Marie is a pupil at St.Anthony's parochial school, where she is reported 
as an excellent student.She is also active as a member of the Girl Scouts 
of the Eastern District Y.W.C.A.. Today they are congratulating Marie 
throughout Greenpoint, but to everybody her wide-eyed earnest plea is;
    ''Let's not talk alot about it, shall we''?

DESERTED BABY GIVEN SHELTER AT CONEY ISLAND
Perhaps she was appealing to her patron,newest and youngest of saints, 
for a share in the promised "shower of roses" as Therese VALENTI, 
apparently unwanted Coney Island baby,cooed in the nursery of Kings County 
Hospital today.Calling in baby language for someone to give her a home.
First her father, next her mother left their home at 2840 West twenty-third 
street,Coney Island. Then an Ulmer park woman who had been given the child 
to board gave up the task,on the ground the bill had gone unpaid two weeks.
Police are seeking her parents.
That left only Fatura FALCONE,55,of West Twenty-third street address, to 
care for the tot.
He's the grandfather,a widower,and he vows he loves the baby,but what can 
he do he asked police last night as,with tears in his eyes,he sought aid 
in his dilemma. He lives all alone now,since his daughter,Josephine and 
Anthony VALENTI,her husband went away.
So Detectives JORDAN and LYNCH,who listened sympathetically to FALCONE'S 
problem,sent the child to the city nurse.
FALCNE had stayed home from work yesterday to mind the baby.Last night 
he carried Therese to Coney Island police station.Before he left her in 
the custody of the detectives,he hugged and kissed her lingerlingly.Then, 
sadly, he walked back t his solitary home,where only the echoes of baby 
talk remained to remind him of his infant granddaughter.
Therese was born seven months ago. Her father disappeared two weeks before,
said FALCONE. Two weeks ago her mother announced she was going away to work,
and took the baby to a boarding house.FALCONE said he doesn"t know 
where his daughter is.

MOTHER OF ABANDONED BABY SAYS SHE SOUGHT EMPLOYMENT
Coney Island Woman Goes to Police Station and Tearfully Begs for Return of 
Child - Held in Bail
Locked up on a charge of abandonment when she surrendered at Coney Island 
police station and tearfully begged to be given back her baby, Mrs. Joseph 
VALENTI, 20, of 2959 West Fifth Street, Coney Island, appeared before 
Magistrate EILPERIN in Coney Island court today and was held in $1,500 bail.
The complaint was made by her father, Fatuto FALCONE of 2840 West 
Twenty-third Street, Coney Island, a widower.  Less than a week ago he had 
entered the police station in tears, carrying his granddaughter, Theresa, 7 
months, and asked police to relieve him of her care.  He had to work and had 
no one to mind the child, he said.  The baby was taken to Kings County 
Hospital.
Mrs. VALENTI went to the station last night.  She said she had not intended 
abandoning the child, but had placed it in a boarding house and went out 
looking for a job.  She had no money until last night, she said.  The woman 
who had been given the baby to board had taken it to FALCONE, with whom his 
daughter formerly lived, claiming two weeks' board was due and she had not 
seen Mrs. VALENTI.  Mrs. VALENTI said her husband, Anthony, disappeared 
before the baby was born.

Courtesy Wins Him Many Friends, Says "Courteous James" I. LONG
Another believer in the value of courtesy is James I. LONG, of Traffic Squad 
F, who facilitates traffic at Fourth avenue and Dean Street.  Courtesy goes a 
long way, he says, and it has made him many friends.  However, some persons 
take advantage of a courteous policeman; but philosophically, LONG just 
smiles and says, "Of course there are some who don't understand the ways of a 
courteous traffic cop, but I overlook them and laugh to myself."  Born in 
Manhattan twenty-eight years ago, LONG joined the force three years ago and 
lives with his wife and two baby girls at 1854 Madison Street, Ridgewood.  
His father, Jacob M. LONG, a clerical man at the Thirtieth Precinct, has been 
on the force twenty-four years and is due to retire next year.  The junion 
LONG can be found at his home any time after duty, fooling around with the 
readio, trying to get distance, with a pipe clutched fondly between his 
teeth.  The heavier the traffic is at his corner, the better he likes it, he 
says. He wears a pin which shows him to be a sharpshooter, and he wants to 
rise in the department.

RAT BITES FOUR CHILDREN IN WILLIAMSBURG HOME
Sleeping Family Routed by Rodent After Infant Suffers Injuries of Both Legs - 
Eludes Capture
Terrorized by a huge rat that invaded their home and bit four of their 
sleeping children at 4 a.m. today, Mr. and Mrs. Francis DALTON, of 310 Keap 
Street, Williamsburg, chased through their flat after the vicious rodent, 
which escaped them and also eluded thorough search later by a policeman.
The children are: Mary, 2, bitten on both legs; Catherine, 7, wounded on 
right arm; John, 11, right ear, and Charles, 10, right arm.
Awakened by the screams of Baby Mary DALTON, the parents rushed into their 
room to see a rat, they described as "the size of a cat," alternately sinking 
its teeth into the child's legs.
Grabbing whatever articles were handy, as impromptu weapons, the couple poked 
at the rodent, putting it to flight, then chased through the apartment after it.
The rat scurried from room to room and during the chase jumped into the crib 
in which Catherine slept and bit her, then into another room, where it jumped 
into the bed occupied by John and Charles, biting them, then scampering away.

ESCAPES CAPTURE
Apparently cornered finally in the kitchen, the rodent stood in defiant 
attitude for a short while, then ran behind a stove and disappeared.
Ambulance Surgeon WALLACE of St. Catherine's Hospital, dressed the children's 
injuries, and they remained at home.
Meanwhile, Patrolman George FEENEY Jr., of Bedford Avenue station, who had 
been attracted by the rumpus of the chase, using his pocket flashlight, 
searched through the aprtment and cellar in vain for trace of the animal.
DALTON expressed belief the rat had come from a store around the corner on 
Broadway, formerly occupied by a fruit dealer, and made its way into the 
basement through a hole alongside a drainpipe, then working up to his first 
floor apartment of the two-story frame building.
The entire family remained wakeful after the episode, unable and unwilling to 
return to sleep.  DALTON planned to sleep with weapons handy in the future to 
guard against a return visit.

MRS. LEONARD REFUSED CHILD
Husband Slayer Reported Near Collapse - Mother to Care for Ailing Son
Torn with anguish and despair by the tragic events that have followed since 
her patrolman husband, Michael LEONARD; was slain in their home Saturday, to 
which police say she has confessed, Mrs. Dorothy LEONARD, of 77-78 190th 
Street, Flushing, today was in a state of collapse at Queens County prison 
after being denied permission to have her ailing eleven months old son, 
Robert, in the cell with her.
"She spent an unhappy and uncomfortable night, but her condition is not 
critical," was the report from the jail officials today.  They said Mrs. 
LEONARD sobbed most of the time while confined in a cell in the women's 
section of the prison  under the watchful eye of matrons and a nurse.
Mrs. LEONARD had been attended yesterday by a physician from St. John's 
Hospital when she broke down upon being informed she could not see her 
husband and she realized that his body would be removed to Pennsylvania for 
burial today.
The request that her baby be admitted into the cell with her was denied after 
a consultation between Edgar F. HAZELTON, counsel for Mrs. LEONARD; Mrs. 
Katherine O'KEEFE, mother of the distracted woman, and relatives of the slain 
patrolman.  It was decided to permit Mrs. O'KEEFE to care for the child 
pending outcome of Mrs. LEONARD's case in the courts.
Little Robert has enemia, explained Mr. HAZELTON, and needs medical 
attention.  "The baby is seriously ill.  He needs special foods and special 
attention.  The foods cannot be prepared in prison and therefore we have 
decided to leave the child with Mrs. O'KEEFE," said Mr. HAZELTON.
Mrs. LEONARD will be brought before Magistrate Thomas F. DOYLE in Flushing 
Magistrate's Court tomorrow charged with homicide.
While Mr. HAZELTON will say nothing concerning defense plans for the 
patrolman's widow, the ill health of her child may have an important bearing 
on any application to cause her release from jail on bail, it was said.

BROOKLYNITES SAVED AT SEA; SHIP ASKS AID
Wife and Two Children of Skipper Taken From Injured Ship
The wife and two children of a Brooklyn sea captain were rescued from a 
floundering lumber ship during the height of the West Indian hurricane off 
Cape Hatteras, it was reported here today.  Captain C.H. MCGAHAN, of 1233 
Avenue P, discovering that his lumber ship Willbabco was badly waterlogged 
and unlikely to ride out the storm, sent out an S.O.S. to other craft in the 
vicinity.
The freighter Guayaquil, commanded by Capt. E.W. SPURR, went alongside to 
aid.  After transferring his wife and two small children to the freelighter, 
Capt. MCGAHAN refused to go aboard himself, despite the pounding of the seas 
over the decks of the Willbabco.
"I'm captain," he said, "and I'll stick to my ship until she reaches port or 
reaches bottom."
He remained on the dangerously rolling and dipping lumber ship with the hope 
of getting his vessel and its cargo out of the tempest.
Meantime, the Hoxbar, heavily laden with oil, hove in view.  She bore around 
to the bow of the disabled craft and passed back a hawser which soon brought 
the Willbabco into tow.  Capt. SPURR's last message reported the Willbabco 
badly waterlogged.  He added that when the weather moderated his crew would 
take aboard the crew of the Willbabco.
>From the scanty messages it could not be determined whether an attempt would 
be made to tow the Willbabco to this port.  Should the Guyaquil complete the 
return trip with her refugees she was supposed likely to arrive here tomorrow.
the Willbabco is the property of the Williams Steamship Company of North 
Moore Street, Brooklyn.  It was bound from San Francisco to New York.

Psychopaths Examine Boy, 8, Who Threw Rocks at Baby
Kew Gardens Infant Target Suffers Possible Broken Skull - Lad Sullen - 
Stricken Mother Tells of Watch on Him
	Believed to be the victim of an obscure mental aberration of which cruelty is 
the chief symptom, eight-year-old Edward BROWNING is undergoing a 
psychopathic examination today after having been caught throwing stones at a 
two-months-old baby.
	"I don't like babies" is the sullen reply that Edward makes to questioners 
seeking to know why he placed little Rose Marie WARD in a vacant lot and used 
her as a target for stones yesterday afternoon.
	The baby, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William WARD, of 8 Augustine Avenue, 
Kew Gardens, was rescued from the stone attack by William LOVELACE, negro 
chauffeur, of Bayport, who was driving by.
He also notified police, who took the boy into custody.
	Baby in Serious Condition
Dr. MEISTER, of Mary Immaculate Hospital, took the infant girl to that 
institution, where he declared her to be in a serious condition, suffering 
from contusions of the head and a possible skull fracture.
	On the verge of a nervous breakdown at her home, 126-01 Jamaica Avenue, 
Richmond Hill, over the act committed by her son, Mrs. Frank BROWNING told of 
the difficulties she had had in trying to make Edward a normal, healthy boy. 
�She said:
"Ever since he was two years old we've noticed Edward was not normal. �We 
learned to keep him away from other children unless my husband or I was 
present. �He would always get into terrible fights."
"It got so we never let him outside without an adult. �We were afraid of what 
he would do."
"Yesterday I was hanging out some wash in the back yard and Edward was out of 
my sight for the moment. �He evidently slipped out the front door and ran 
off. �It was not until a policeman came here with that horrifying story of 
what Edward had done that I knew he had gone.
"He had slipped away from us several other times. �We never knew where he had been."
	Edward has a brother, Frank, Jr., 12, who is entirely normal in every respect.
Mrs. WARD, mother of the two-year-old (as written) victim of Edward's attack, 
said the baby had been out of her sight for only about five minutes, when 
LOVELACE came to her door and told her what had happened.
