Crime News
KNIFED IN QUARREL AND THOUGHT DYING, MUM ON ASSAILANT
Suspect Taken Before Him, GEIER Refuses to Accuse Him
   What is said to have been a fight between two taxi drivers following a
quarrel of long standing resulted early today in sending John GEIER, 35, 906
Kent avenue, to Methodist Episcopal Hospital with a serious stab wound in the
chest.
   Detectives DONNANO and ENGLISH of Bergen street station questioned the man
at the hospital, but he refused to identify his assailant. The officers then
went to Atlantic avenue, between Third and Fourth avenues, where they learned
that GEIER had been in a fight with another taxi driver named Martin FOX,
married and with one child, who lives at 348 Stanhope street. FOX, questioned
by the officers, is said to have readily admitted the fight, but when taken
before GEIER, the latter refused to identify him.
   FOX told the officers, they reported, that GEIER, an ex-pugilist, was
easily getting the best of him in the fight. He said he did not remember using
a knife, but GEIER fell. He said the two had had a grudge for several months
and that they met about 4:30 that morning and fought it out.
   At the hospital, GEIER, told that he was at the point of death, still
refused to tell who had cut him, saying, "I’ll die, that’s all." He was taken
to the hospital by another taxi driver, Patrick FARRELL, 334 Forty-ninth

NIGHT WORSHIP CAUSES CULT’S ARRAIGNMENT
Neighbor’s Complain of Norwegian Noises From 10:30 to 1:30
   The workings of the spirit move Rein SEEHUS and his followers chiefly
between 10:30 P. M. and 1:30 A. M., between which hours the strange Norwegian
cult, which they constitute, meets nightly except Mondays in the old Peerless
Theatre at Sixth avenue and Fifty-sixth street and conducts revival exercises
for an excess of energy which neighbors allege disturbs the peace of their
repose.
   The last named aspect of the matter was discovered by Mr. SEEHUS yesterday
when he found himself before Magistrate John WALSH in the Fifth avenue court.
The complainants are Mrs. Eva DORPH, tenant, and Mrs. Clara QUINN, janitress,
of 5608 Sixth avenue, next door to the theatre, who acted at the suggestion of
the landlord after the Scandinavian incantations caused Mrs. DORPH to decide
to move.
   The solemnities of worship are quiet until about 10:30, Mrs. QUINN
asserted, but after that hour   and until 1:30, except for a short recess,
there is too much singing and noise. Mr. SEEHUS declined the court’s proffer
of counsel, saying that Christ was his lawyer. The case will be decided next
Wednesday.

against persons who deposit rubbish, garbage and old automobile hulks on
vacant lots within the boundaries of the precinct according to advices at
Borough Hall, Long Island City. Eight summonses have been issued to violators,
chiefly storekeepers.
   Just after sunrise yesterday, Capt. ROSS found a storekeeper throwing
rubbish and garbage on a vacant lot and issued a summons. The case comes up in
Flushing court Thursday.
   Cooperating with Queens authorities conducting the Home Owners Clean-up
Campaign, Capt. ROSS started the hunt for persons abandoning auto chassis in
lots and on little used streets. One summons was used on a violator who dumped
an old car in a vacant lot just after dark. He appeared before Magistrate
DOYLE and was given a suspended sentence. He must remove the car or another
summons will be issued.
   Capt. ROSS explained it is very difficult to catch people towing auto
derelicts into vacant lots as 'they bury the dead just before dawn.' Capt.
ROSS had addressed 118 letters to storekeepers in the precinct and intends to
add to the list in the drive against unsanitary and unsightly refuse menaces.

NOBHAN said one of the woman’s lungs had collapsed and she had suffered a
stroke. He told CARLIN that his wife was dying from lack of oxygen and advised
him to call a police emergency squad. He said if the squad arrived in time
there was a faint hope of saving the woman’s life.
   A patrolman put in a call for the police emergency squad of the Grand
avenue station, which is about four miles from the Fort Hamilton Parkway
address. Six minutes later the squad, headed by Sergeant Edward MOORE, brought
its automobile to a halt in front of the CARLIN home.
   Within the house the policemen administered oxygen to the unconscious woman

would live, and joined with Mr. CARLIN in praising the squad for its speed and

POLICE SAVE 18 SNARED BY FIRE IN APARTMENTS
Patrolman Leads, Second in Rear, Bring Children, Women to Safety
   Eighteen women and children trapped in the upper floors of a burning
apartment house at 14 Horzl street, Brownsville, this afternoon, were led to
safety down a fire escape by Patrolman BENZ, of the Brownsville station, while
Patrol DRUCKER of the same station, brought up the rear and prevented panic.
   The fire started in the first floor apartment of Abraham MELZER and before
fire apparatus arrived had gone up the air shaft and mushroomed under the
roof.
   Patrolman BENZ saw smoke coming from the house and turned in the alarm.
Then with Patrolman DRUCKER, he ascended to the fourth floor where he lined up
the women and children to get them out of their apartments to the street. At
the second floor, smoke and flames stopped them, and BENZ, making the
occupants of the house hold hands in a long line, led them down the fire
escape.
   After more than half an hour’s fighting, firemen put out the blaze, which
had done damage estimated at $8,000. The origin of the fire could not be
ascertained. There was no one in the MELZER apartment at the time. It is
believed to have started in the kitchen.

OLD THALIA THEATRE, BOWERY LANDMARK, DESTROYED BY FIRE
Cradle of American Theatrical Art Passes; Chinese, Playing There, Mourn
   The Old Bowery Theatre, where once BOOTH, FORREST and GILBERT played, was
destroyed by fire today. The spectacular blaze it made could been seen over a
wide area in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
   With the passing of this decrepit structure, New York loses one of its most
historic landmarks, for the theatre had been devoted to the drama for more
than 100 years. It often was termed the cradle of all American actors and
actresses of the early nineteenth century.
   Once called the Thalia Theatre, the old Bowery institution was known in
recent times as the Chinese Theatre. And when the four alarm fire was sounded
today, the nearby natives of Chinatown, attired hurriedly in a colorful
assortment of costumes, looked on sadly as the walls of their theatre fell.

guests, contest winners, etc., will gather at Panchard’s Massapequa Inn for a
wind-up banquet at night.
   The committee headed by Joseph FRANKEL and Edward A. STUCKLEN has announced

6 June 1929
INDIGNANT MARKSMAN HELD; GETS OFF RANGE in SHOOTING
Shot Aimed at Target Hits Man at Work 3 Blocks Away
   The ambition of Richard SERZITIO, 21, of 67 Morton street, to become a
crack rifle shot resulted in his being held without bail on a charge of
felonious assault and in $2,500 bail on a charge of discharging firearms in a
public place by Magistrate Mortimer BROWN in Bridge Plaza Court today.
   According to Detective James SHEEHY of the Clymer street station, SERZITIO
visited Coney Island recently and spent the greater part of the day in a
shooting gallery. Pleased with the results of his marksmanship there, he
purchased a rifle and took it home. Yesterday afternoon he went to the roof of
the three-story building in which he lives and started shooting at a tin can,
police said.
   Two of the shots went wild and carried three blocks into the fifth story
window of a factory building at 55 South Eleventh street. One of the bullets
buried itself in a wall and the other in the neck of Michael ZURRERO, 55, of
134 East Fifty-fifth street, Manhattan, an employe. ZURRERO was treated by the
factory physician.
   Detective SHEEHY made a five hour house to house canvass of the
neighborhood and finally located SERZITIO, who admitted shooting at the tin
can target, SHEEHY said, but indignantly denied any of his shots had gone
wild. The bullet extracted from the factory wall corresponded with those used
by SERZITIO and he was placed under arrest.
   He will be given a hearing Saturday on the assault charge and another
hearing June 10 on the charge of discharging firearms.

SHE PREFERS JAIL TO HOME WITH UNGRATEFUL CHILDREN
Aged Woman Held as Vagrant - Withholds Kin’s Names
   Rather than be an unwelcome burden upon children who have forgotten the
sacrifices she made for them when they were dependent upon her, Mrs. Anna
HEADRICK became a homeless vagrant.
   With lips tight closed regarding the names of anyone who might come to her
aid today, she is scheduled for a hearing in Bridge Plaza Court on the charge
of vagrancy. She prefers a jail term, she indicated, to the charity of
children who no longer love her.
   Mrs. HEADRICK, a pitiful little figure in black with a little shawl drawn
tightly over narrow, bent shoulders, had settled down to rest on the curb at
Hewes street and Broadway at 1 o’clock last night when Max GOLDBERG, night
manager of a gasoline station in that vicinity, found her. He took her into
the office of the gas station and notified the police of the Clymer street
station.
   To the police, Mrs. HEADRICK would only tell her name. She had no home and
although she had children, she refused to be a burden upon them any longer,
she said. The police gathered that the old lady had found herself unwelcome in
the homes of her children and had left to roam the streets.
   There was nothing to do but lodge a charge of vagrancy against her and she
spent the night as comfortably as the matron could make her in the Gates
avenue station.
   She will be heard before Magistrate BROWN. Some arrangement is expected to
be made to care for her.

PARALYZED VETERAN DIRECTS VAUDEVILLE SHOW FOR HOSPITAL
Shell Shock Victim, Former Actor, Arranges Affair For Fellow-Patients
   Paralysis resulting from shell shock in the World War has not stopped Bert
GORDON, although his has been a battle for more than ten years. Last night the
inmates of the Jewish Sanitarium for Incurables, Rutland road and East
Forty-ninth street, and more than 700 guests were treated to twenty acts of
vaudeville and strawberry cake and refreshment due to his activities from his
wheel chair.
   Mr. GORDON, whose legs have been paralyzed for a decade, has been from one
hospital to another. Before the war ended his colorful and promising career,
he was an actor. But without the use of his legs the stage held no more
promise for him.
   But his time is not wasted. He has arranged many affairs for the hospitals
where he has been a patient and his acquaintance among stage folk is
extensive. Determining on an entertainment, he got busy, wrote a number of
letters and kept a few trunk telephone lines busy. Yes the Radio-Keith-Orpheum
and the Loew’s circuits would accommodate. More than fifty stars volunteered.
   The top floor of the hospital was decorated with ferns, flowers and bright
lights and a stage provided. Much shortcake and icecream were added and joy
was brought to the hearts of Bert GORDON’s hospital friends.

MUNICIPAL EMPLOYE ARRESTED AS WIFE IS FOUND BADLY BEATEN
Street Cleaning Worker Hit Spouse With Chair, She Tells Police
   Valentine YOUNG, 51, a Street Cleaning Department employe, of 1477 De Kalb
avenue, was scheduled for a hearing in Gates avenue court today on a charge of
felonious assault.
   Late yesterday afternoon, Lieut. Daniel CONNOLLY of Wilson avenue station
received a telephone message that there had been a murder at the DeKalb avenue
address. He dispatched Sergt. Louis MICHELS and Patrolman John GILLEN to the
address where they found the neighbors in the hallway. Upstairs they found
YOUNG’s wife Emma, 49, moaning on her bed while YOUNG was in the kitchen.
   Police say that the woman informed them her husband had beaten her with a
chair. Ambulance Surgeon ALESI, of Wyckoff Heights Hospital, attended Mrs.
YOUNG for lacerations and contusions of the body and possible internal
injuries, and then removed her to Kings County Hospital.
   YOUNG was locked up on the assault charge. The couple’s two children,
George, 13, and Joseph, 8, were sent to the Children’s Society Shelter.

FIRING AT TARGET, SAYS ACCUSED COP
Patrolman RUSSELL Held for Shooting at Watchman
   Patrolman Cornelius RUSSELL, 35, of Newtown station, was held today in
Ridgewood court without bail, charged with felonious assault. The complainant
was Thomas TULLY, a watchman at Mount Zion Cemetery, Maspeth, who testified
RUSSELL fired three shots in his direction.
   RUSSELL insisted he was merely doing some target practise in preparation
for the department’s required pistol practise, and that he selected the
neighborhood of the cemetery as a place where he would annoy no one, but since
TULLY had made an affidavit he was taken into custody by Capt. Jacob ROSS of
Newtown station. He was held for examination Friday.

MANIAC KNIFES WIFE AND LEAPS FROM WINDOW
McCORMACK, Suffering Brain Injury, Is Made Prisoner
   Demented for more than a year, due to a fall, John McCORMACK, 56, of 643
Franklin avenue, suddenly became violent while in his home early today and
attacked his wife with a large carving knife, inflicting severe wounds in her
left side.
   After attacking his wife, McCORMACK jumped head first through a window on
the third floor, landing on a fire-escape a few feet below. Dr. FERBER of the
Jewish Hospital rushed Mrs. McCORMACK to that institution and the husband was
taken to the Kings County Hospital suffering from numerous cuts and bruises.
He is held a prisoner on the charge of felonious assault.
   According to the police, McCORMACK fell down a flight of stairs about a
year ago, sustaining severe bruises about the head. Since that time he has
been confined to his home. On a number of occasions he imagined seeing faces
on the walls and hearing voices.
   About a month ago he was sent to Kings County Hospital for observation and
was discharged ten days ago. This morning, Mrs. McCORMACK told the police, he
became violent, running around the rooms chasing imaginary faces and talking
to imaginary persons. When she tried to quiet him, he grabbed the knife and
slashed her several times before jumping through the window. Her screams
brought Patrolman Richard CANTOR, of Grand avenue station, who called an
ambulance and placed McCORMACK under arrest.

THE QUEEN OF LONG ISLAND
[Photo of Muriel WHITE]
   Miss Muriel WHITE, 16-year-old Baldwin High School girl, is to be the queen
of the festivities tomorrow when Sunrise Highway is thrown open. She was
chosen Miss Baldwin at a preliminary competition and won the honor of being
Miss Sunrise over ten of the loveliest young girls of Long Island. After the
excitement, she will go back to school, ignoring a host of stage and screen
offers.
HIGH SCHOOL GIRL IS QUEEN OF PAGEANT at OPENING OF SUNRISE HIGHWAY TOMORROW
Comely Muriel WHITE, 16, to Reign Over Ceremony
   Catapulted overnight from a Baldwin, L. I. High School student and athlete
to the glorified position of Queen of the Sunrise Highway opening tomorrow,
Miss Muriel WHITE, 16 years old, of 4 Waverly place, breathlessly declines all
offers for the stage movietone and screen which have been laid at her feet.
She intends to keep her personality and pulchritude at home and not flaunt
them before the public. After viewing Miss WHITE, one feels sure that such
intentions will cause the WHITE home in Baldwin to be overrun with the young
blades of that section.
   "Miss Sunrise", formerly Miss Baldwin, was selected as Queen of the Pageant
Tuesday night at the Freeport Theatre by the celebration committee. She was
prevailed upon to enter the contest by Paul BOGGS, former commander of the
Baldwin American Legion post, who felt sure that Miss WHITE’s charming
features would readily qualify her for the crown. This is the first contest of
this kind Miss WHITE has ever entered. With her curly, bobbed chestnut hair,
blue eyes, statuesque figure and lightning personality, one immediately knows
why she won the contest.
   Miss WHITE, who is a junior in the Baldwin High School, is an athlete of
some note, being a member of the track team and basketball team and an ardent
follower of horseback riding and swimming. On the track team, she is a shot
put artist, having heaved the eight pound ball for a distance of twenty-seven
feet. She is always keeping in the pink of condition and does not smoke. She
is very fond of dancing and is an interested spectator at the Sunday afternoon

   Miss Sunrise is not only an outdoor girl, but is quite proficient as a
typist, having won medals at that indoor sport, and on her graduation from
high school she hopes to become some one’s private secretary.
   Miss WHITE is one of the popular contestants in The Standard Union’s
$55,000 prize contest.
   Miss Sunrise, who was picked from a bevy of eleven beautiful girls, will
ride in state along the highway from Brooklyn to Amityville in the motor
parade on a gorgeously decorated float attended by two runners up for the
title which she won. Her attendants will be Miss Margaret DONALDSON and Miss
Dorothy De Mar who are "Miss Freeport" and "Miss Hollis" respectively.
   Miss Sunrise will receive a complete outfit of wearing apparel which will
become her personal property. The wardrobe will be contributed by sixteen
Freeport merchants.
   The pageant, the largest ever attempted in the history of Long Island, is
only one of the features in connection with the dedication of the Sunrise
Highway. This highway was recently completed at a cost of $5,000,000 and is
the only road to be paved within the city limits with state funds and
cooperation.
   Another feature of the celebration will be a modified  marathon race from
Rosedale to Amityville, a distance of fifteen miles. More than 100 well-known
runners from a number of States have been entered in the race.
   Miss Eleanor SMITH, Freeport’s girl flyer and holder of the woman’s solo
endurance flight record, will lead the parade, depicting the Goddess of Flight
in a collapsible plane mounted on a float immediately following the official
automobile.

LEHMAN and SMITH to Ride
   Lieut.-Gov. LEHMAN, former Gov. Alfred E. SMITH, and a host of officials
will ride in the parade. Major Robert T. RASMUSSEN, of Freeport, will be grand
marshall of the military parade that will start from Baldwin and march
eastward along the highway to Freeport. There it will be reviewed from a
grandstand by the officials and the honored guests. The military parade will
comprise United States regulars from Governor’s Island and the army corps of
Mitchel Field, national guardsmen, units of the local and county posts of the
American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, commercial, civic and fraternal
organizations, volunteer firemen and a police guard.
   Following the parade, a dinner will be held at Panchard’s Inn
   The programme follows:
   Luncheon at 11:30 at the Hotel Bossert for Lieut.-Gov. LEHMAN and State and
County officials. Start of the modified marathon race from Rosedale to
Massapekua at noon. Start of automobile and float parade from Bedford and
Atlantic avenues at 1:30. At 1:50 Mayor Walker opens the highway at Liberty
avenue and Sunrise highway. At 4:30 the military parade leaves Baldwin to

'FAMILY FRIEND' CALLS; WIDOW MISSES FUNDS
Took Bag With Late Husband’s Insurance Money, She Tells Police
   Charles WILSON, 50, who says he is a marine engineer, living at the
Whitehall hotel, Whitehall street, Manhattan, appeared in Flatbush court today
charged with the larceny of $1,745 from a handbag belonging to Mrs. Irene
HAND, 40, of 15 Berkeley place.
   The money, Mrs. HAND said, was from the insurance of her husband, who died
recently, leaving her with four small children to support.
   In her complaint, Mrs. HAND said that WILSON had been a friend of the
family for a number of years. He was out of town at the time of her husband’s
death and called at her apartment yesterday morning to extend his sympathy.
   The handbag containing the money, she says, was on a bureau in the bedroom.
Sometime after WILSON left she discovered that both the bag and women were
missing. She went to the Whitehall street address and learned from WILSON’s
friends that he was in a speakeasy in Broad street, spending money freely and
flashing a large roll of bills.
   About 11 o’clock last night she located the place and found WILSON
intoxicated. He had no money left, but patrons of the place told the widow he
had spent the greater part of the day there giving out $5 tips to the waiters
and passing around $20 and $50 bills to his friends.
   Mrs. HAND finally succeeded in getting WILSON into a taxicab and drove to
Bergen street station where she entered the larceny complaint.
   WILSON admitted, police say, being in the HAND apartment, but "did not
remember taking the money."

POLICE to ROUT LOVERS LANE PARKING PETTING PARTIES
Will Not Say What Court Action May Be Taken
   Petters will have to find some place other than the famous Lovers Lane at
the end of Flatbush avenue to do their petting tonight. Police of the Brooklyn
Avenue Station announced today that a concentrated drive will be made to rid
the section of the parking spooners.
   Just what will be done to the petters the police would not say. They merely
explained that Magistrate Jeannette BRILL had been deeply shocked by the
conditions on that stretch of Flatbush Avenue that extends from Avenue U to
the Barren Island Ferry, and they intend to remedy them.
   They explained that there was a time when one policemen could cope with all
the petters who parked there and still have enough time to cover the rest of
his beat. Then all of Brooklyn heard of the spot and the policeman had to be
given a car to cover his beat.
   This spring the number increased by leaps and bounds. The police found it
necessary to put another patrolman on the job.
   Even this measure failed to stem the rush of lovers to the spot and police
had to confine themselves to looking after the minors. After the curfew hour
they sought those whose obvious place was home and bed and chased them there.
Weight of numbers forced them to ignore the more adult petters.
   Tonight, however, and every night thereafter, all petters, regardless of
age, race, creed or color, will be routed, and perhaps where necessary they
will be asked to make an explanation to a judge.

be colored, employed exactly the same technique.

Wedding in the News
DAN CUPID, NOT TO BE DENIED, HAS KNOT TIED IN HOSPITAL
Mother Witnesses Son’s Marriage From Bed
   Dan Cupid refused to let an accident interfere with his pre-arranged plans
for the wedding of two young Ridgewoodites Saturday and the principals were
joined in matrimony at the bedside of the groom’s mother in the Wyckoff
Heights Hospital.
   While only a very few close relatives stood around the bed of Mrs. Ida
WATTERSON in the women’s semi-private ward on the third floor of the hospital,
the Rev. Dr. H. V. ROSS, pastor of the Bushwick Central M. E. Church,
officiated at the ceremony which made as one, Mrs. WATTERSON’s 28 year old
son, ?arry SHEPPARD, and Ruth Marian DIEHL, daughter of Mrs. Anna DIEHL of
1711 Gates avenue, Ridgewood.
   Four other patients in the room and nurses were the only other witnesses to
the ceremony, which is the second in the Wyckoff Heights Hospital since its
inception more than twenty-five years ago.
   Mrs. WATTERSON lay on her bed and watched her son as he slipped the wedding
band on the girl of his choice. As the Rev. Dr. ROSS pronounced the young
ones, man and wife, beads of perspiration rolled down the cheeks of Mrs.
WATTERSON, who is in pain with several fractured ribs and internal injuries.
She managed to smile and congratulate the two when they bent to kiss her.
   Last Sunday she was injured in an automobile accident at Irving and Decatur
street, Ridgewood, when her son, her future daughter-in-law and she were
driving to see the new home for her son and bride on Long Island. Arrangements
for the wedding were about to be canceled when Mrs. WATTERSON insisted the
couple be married despite her confinement in the hospital. It was decided to
hold the wedding ceremony at her bedside and in that manner, Dan Cupid scored
a victory over accidental circumstances.
   John Hulbert WATTERSON, a brother of the groom, acted as best man, while
Lillian D. DIEHL, a sister of the bride, was bridesmaid.

really harm her. Her condition is not serious.

BROOKLYN TOREADOR HAILED AS HERO BY CROWD IN SEVILLE
FRANKLYN Carried in Triumph From Bull Ring
SEVILLE, June 10 (U.P.)- An American bull fighter was the hero of Seville today
after a triumphant debut in the principal arena before a crowd of 10,000 of
the most critical of Spain’s followers of the game.
   Sidney FRANKLYN, a resident of Brooklyn, N.Y. and the only American bull
fighter of major importance, was carried off the field in triumph by a huge
crowd of enthusiasts yesterday for the skill and expertness he showed in
disposing of the two prize bulls he slew in combat.
   To show their full enthusiasm the crowed carried him through the main gate
of the arena, a distinction seldom accorded to anyone and never excepting the
very great. It was the first time this season that any fighter has been
carried through the main gate.
   FRANKLYN demonstrated his knowledge of the game by getting the first bull
with one stroke. This brought the crowd to its feet for the longest ovation
accorded a bull fighter in months. During FRANKLIN’S engagement with the
second bull, he tarried and sidestepped and generally displayed his enormous
knowledge of the game. He fought this one closed to the bull’s horns. When the
second bull was killed the crowd swarmed the field and carried the hero off on
their shoulders.
   This was FRANKLYN’S greatest triumph. He demonstrated to the whole world
that an American can be a great bull fighter, opinion to the contrary
notwithstanding.
   Some time ago he went to mexico and appeared in rings there. He was told he
would never make a bull fighter, that Americans could not fight bulls. But
FRANKLYN was not to be swerved in his ambition. He studied hard and practiced
diligently. Yesterday’s triumph was an answer to the criticism.

throng from the bull ring in Seville, Spain, yesterday, after he dispatched

BULLET TAKEN FROM POLICEMAN’S SPINE YEAR AFTER SHOOTING
Nassau Officer in Hospitals Since Attack on July 22 Last
   On the night of July 22 last, in some underbrush at Woodmere, Policeman
John KENNEDY was mysteriously shot. The bullet lodged in his spine and there
it had been ever since until removed yesterday by Dr. Benjamin W. SEAMAN, of
Mineola, and Dr. Carl HETTESHEIMER, of Hempstead.
   KENNEDY was first in the Far Rockaway Hospital and later in the Nassau
Hospital here, where the operation was performed yesterday. He had undergone
several blood transfusions, fellow officers volunteering their blood.
Physicians had been afraid to remove the bullet before today, fearing the
man’s death. Last night KENNEDY’s condition was reported as 'fair.'
   The bullet was handed over to Harold R. KING, chief of county detectives.
Mrs. Rose HILKOWITZ of the Bronx, is in Queens County jail in Long Island City
in connection with the case.

COMPANION in CARD GAME SAYS BOY, 19, POINTED REVOLVER  at HIM
   Frank GIBEL, 19 years old, of 366 Hemlock street, was held on two charges
by Magistrate Thomas F. DOYLE in Ridgewood court yesterday. He was arrested
early yesterday by Detective Herman BOYMAN and William H. CARTER of the
Glendale station, on complaint of Frank KNOBLAUCH, of 1614 Norman street,
Ridgewood.
   According to the complaint, GIBEL and KNOBLAUCH were playing cards in the
Madison Club at 1613 Madison street, Ridgewood, and got into an altercation.
KNOBLAUCH said that GIBEL pointed a revolver at him. An unloaded .38 calibre
pistol was found in GIBEL’s hip pocket, the arresting officers asserted.
   GIBEL could not produce a permit for the weapon and he was charged with
violating the Sullivan law. Magistrate DOYLE held him in bail of $500 on this
complaint and on the attempted assault charge preferred by KNOBLAUCH the
defendant was held in bail of $2,000. Both cases were adjourned to Friday. In
default of a bondman CIBEL was taken to the Queens County jail.

SAMARITAN OFFERS COPS RIDE; THEY THANK HIM WITH ARREST
'It’s Just Too Bad' They Recognize Missing Auto
   Leon ISAACS, 19, is through being a Good Samaritan. It can cause too much
trouble.
   He is listed today at Clymer street police station as a poultry clerk, but
he insists he is a student of Columbia University law school.
   ISAACS will face Magistrate HIRSHFIELD in Bridge Plaza court today on a
charge of grand larceny and will be given an opportunity to explain why he was
driving around in the automobile of Morris HANDELMAN of 880 Bedford avenue.
   He was driving along Bedford avenue last night when he saw Detectives
MIREAU and JENNER, of CLYMER street station. He didn’t know the officers, but
he thought they looked tired and offered them a lift. That was a mistake.
   The detectives, after they had been in the car for a few minutes,
recognized it as one that had been stolen from in front of 774 Bedford avenue.
They said it was about time for them to appear at the station house and asked
ISAACS to drive them there. On arriving they informed ISAACS it was just too
bad, but he was under arrest

WOMEN ANGRY WHEN TERMED "UNIMPORTANT"
Are Forced to ‘Pinch Pennies,’ They Declare at Gas Rate Hearing
   High indignation was expressed by the women representatives of the
Ridgewood Taxpayers and Business Men’s Association at the re-hearing of the
application of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company for a new rate. The hearing is
being held before the Public Service Commission at 120 Broadway, Manhattan.
   When E. G. CHENEY, consulting engineer and expert for the Brooklyn Union
Gas Company, declared that the small domestic consumer of gas did not comprise
an important item in his tabulations, the women became indignant.
   "It is the women who have to stretch the penny and are the domestic people
on whom the new rate will have effect," shouted one of the women. The rest of
the women in the room gave vocal assent.
   The women who are representing the Ridgewood association are Mrs. Johanna
SCHWEMM, Mrs. Augusta WERNEOREG, Mrs. Louise ALLMAN, Mrs. Mary HILSZ, Mrs.
Anna HAUSE, and Mrs. Helen KIMBACHER.
   The hearing today was a continuation of yesterday’s rehashing of old data
and facts concerning a new form of rates for the Brooklyn Gas Company. Nothing
new was brought out in exhibiting the pamphlets presented to the Public
Service Commission by Mr. CHENEY.

BROOKLYN WATCHMAN WAITS FOR WORD of GREAT WEALTH
Held Winning Ticket on English Derby With 3 Others
   When the steamer Aquitania docks in New York next Saturday a load of
anxiety and doubt will be lifted from the shoulders of Harry J. HART of Bay
Ridge, who is employed as a night watchman in the Steinberg Printing Shop, at
409 Pearl street, Manhattan, and his three companions, Jack WRIGHT, George
CALLAHAN, and John RAYWINKLE, who are employed as printers in the shop.
   For, according to a letter HART received from his sister, Mrs. Eleanor WATT
of London, England, the four men are the holders of the Trigo ticket which won
the Calcutta Sweepstakes at the English Derby. Whether they hold the whole
ticket or a portion of the ticket and the exact amount they will win will be
determined by the news HART is expecting to arrive on the Aquitania Saturday.
   HART, who lives in Bay Ridge, refuses to give his home address because if
he wins the Sweepstakes he is afraid that he will be pestered to death by a
lot of curious people. HART himself was born in London over fifty years ago
and the possibility of winning a fortune overnight has always appealed to his
gambling spirit. So accordingly he got his three companions to chip in with
him, all on even terms of share alike and he notified his sister in London to
obtain for them some tickets on the race.
   Shortly afterward his sister wrote to him telling him that he had drawn
three horses in the Calcutta Sweepstakes. They were Emerald, Snowball and
Trigo, the first two being scratched.
   As all sportsmen and non-sportsmen know, Trigo won the Derby. But HART and
his three companions do not know how much they won and HART himself is quite
skeptical as to whether he really won or not. He is taking absolutely nothing
for granted until he receives official notice from his sister. When asked what
he will do with his money, HART answered that he has no money. He is not
counting his chickens before they are hatched. However, if he does win he is
going to England for a short stay with his relatives.
   The winner of the Sweepstakes usually receives a sum in the neighborhood of
from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000. The four men may stand a chance of winning that
amount or a portion of that amount.

POLICE FOLLOW TRAP DOORS’ TRAIL TO "HIGH ADVENTURE"
But All Subterranean Paths Lead to Is Sub-Cellar Still
   Trap doors, secret underground passageways, subterranean chambers where
plots are hatched as black as the damp, black air that makes candles flicker
in the gloom----
   Romance, mystery, adventure strode in the path of Acting Inspector
FITZPATRICK, of the Fourteenth District; Captain GOLDEN of Bedford avenue
station and Patrolman MASSIE as the three were driving on North Eighth street
shortly after midnight this morning.
   P-s-s-st! The shadowy figure of a man bounded out of the black hole that
was the doorway of the abandoned garage at 246-8. He caught a glimpse of the
policemen and disappeared again.
   "That’s funny," said Capt. GOLDEN, "Let’s follow."
   The three entered the abandoned building. Their quarry went to the rear of
the garage, knelt before a trap door, lifted it and disappeared. So did
FITZPATRICK, GOLDEN and MASSIE.
Farther Into Mystery
   Down to a damp cellar led the ladder. The flashlight found another
stairway. Sh-sh-sh-sh! Down they went again- FITZPATRICK and GOLDEN and MASSIE.
   Now they were in a sub-cellar. They groped along a narrow passageway, wide
enough only for one man; still going forward. Now they were almost under the
street. Twenty feet of earth between a prosaic Brooklyn street and High
Adventure.
   Then the passageway widened out into a tiled chamber. The trail was ended.
The quarry was here. Two guarded the door. Another circled about, sweeping the
room with his flashlight.
And Get Their Man
   "All right, you’ve got me," came a voice which later turned out to be that
of John CUSOMONO, 37, of 232 Leonard street, and into their arms he went, meek
as a lamb.
   But that wasn’t all they got. There was a 25-gallon still purring in the
centre of the chamber and round about were seventeen fifty gallon barrels of
alcohol (that’s what the police said it was) and fifteen five gallon cans of
it.
   CUSOMONO was turned over to Federal authorities.

[PATROLMAN] -.WHO SHOT AT TARGET, CLEARED OF ASSAULT
Denies Firing at Watchman in Cemetery and Court Finds No Evidence
[See June 6, 1929]
   A charge of felonious assault against Patrolman Cornelius RUSSELL of the
Newtown precinct was dismissed by Magistrate Thomas F. DOYLE yesterday in
Ridgewood for lack of evidence. The patrolman, who is 35 years old and has
been five years on the force, was accused by Thomas TULLY, of 44-15
Fifty-third avenue, Long Island City, a watchman at the Mount Zion Cemetery at
Maspeth, of having fired a number of shots at him in the cemetery.
   The patrolman declared that he had been shooting at a target. He brought a
newspaper with a number of bullet holes in into court and exhibited this as
his target. He said he was in a little frequented section of the cemetery.
   Captain Jacob ROSS, in command of the Newtown precinct, appeared in court
and testified to Russell’s good record.
   RUSSELL still faces a police trial before Deputy Commissioner John A. LEACH
on the assault charge. The dismissal of the charge by Magistrate DOYLE will
make this latter hearing a mere formality, however, and he will be cleared by
the commissioner, it was said in police circles.

down the road at high speed for about ten minutes. This revived him partially

prompt action probably saved his life. MILLER lives at 90-17 213th street,
Queens Village, Queens.

SLUG SUSPECT GIVES THREE PATROLMEN IN SUBWAY HOT BATTLE
Prisoner Runs Amuck in Bergen Street Station After Arrest
   The combined efforts of three patrolmen were required today to restrain a
man brought into the Bergen street precinct charged with disorderly conduct.
When the man, who said he was Giuseppi ARGIRO, 47, of 335 Second street, faced
the desk lieutenant he started screaming, beating his head against the desk
railing and then fell to the floor kicking and biting the policemen who were
trying to quiet him.
   ARGIRO had been arrested in the subway station at Atlantic and Flatbush
avenues by I. R. T. Inspector Morrison RYAN and Patrolman Thomas DILLON, after
they say, they had seen him drop a foreign coin in the turnstile. RYAN had
been watching the station several days following complaints that slugs and
foreign coins are being used.
   When ARGIRO was searched at the station house, two Italian coins similar to
the one RYAN claims was dropped in the turnstile were found in his pockets
together with 42 cents.

NO VACATION in FORTY YEARS, FAMILY MAKES HIM TAKE ONE
Emile CHEUVREUX Goes Back to France on 3 Months’ Leave
   When the French liner France pulled out of her dock last night, she carried
abroad one of Brooklyn’s most energetic workers. He is Emile CHEUVREUX, 65
years old, of 310 Menahan street, Ridgewood, and he has been employed by the
Gleason Thiebout Glass Company, 99 Commercial street, Greenpoint, for forty
years without a vacation. Now he is to get one three months long.
   He is on his way to visit an only sister in the little town of Pfalzburg in
Alsace-Loraine, whom he hasn’t seen in thirty years. He has not written her of
his visit, planning to surprise her.
   The mayor of the town is his boyhood chum. In an interview last evening
with his wife, a Standard Union reporter was told of the great reunions
CHEUVREUX is expecting. He is very confident, she said, that the local brass
band will be out to greet him.
   He came to this country forty-two years ago and became a citizen in 1892.
Almost immediately upon landing he obtained a position with the Gleason
company as an operating engineer, which position he has held since.
   He easily slipped into American ways and habits. His greatest hobby became
gardening and it is the pride of Philomene, his wife, that they have one of
the finest gardens in the community.
   In the little Ridgewood home last night the story of the difficulty in
persuading him to accept this vacation was told by Mrs. CHEUVREUX and her
three stalwart sons. They pointed out that he would never again get such an
opportunity. "You will have only the regular two weeks every year after this."
, they argued.
   Mrs. CHEUVREUX declared that her husband was essentially a home man. "His
greatest pleasure is pottering around this little garden," and she indicated
the trim patch of dahlias, French lilies and rambling roses.

12 Crown street, saved the child and herself from death late yesterday
afternoon. The maid had been in Prospect Park with the child all afternoon and
was wheeling the baby carriage with the child in it across Flatbush avenue at
Grand Army Plaza when a mail truck ore down upon them. The young woman grabbed
the baby from the carriage just as the truck smashed into it. She clutched the
child in her arms as the truck grazed her and threw her to the ground. She
saved the little one from injury but was bruised and cut about the face, head
and body herself.
   Miss SAGE was attended by Dr.REED of the Methodist Episcopal Hospital and
then was taken home with the child. The perambulator was wrecked.
   Frederick W. WINTZLER of 1095 Gates avenue, driver of the truck, was not
arrested.

17 June 1929
Residents Rent Space
   It was a profitable day for some Coney Islanders who have their homes in
the vicinity of the beach. They approached the lines and offered
accommodations at their domiciles for from twenty-five to fifty cents. Those
waiting avidly accepted the offers for they were determined to cool off in the
sea.
   Whether the day was a record breaker at Coney for bathing is uncertain for
in past years there have been days when lockers and rooms were held at a
premium. At any rate it was the biggest day by far this season. The streets of
the resort were literally choked with trucks and pleasure cars. Many had come
down in these vehicles with bathing togs under their street attire. They
simply divested themselves of their outer clothing and were ready for the
Atlantic.
Patrol Wagon Gets Kiddies
   When bathing is heavy and the beach is jammed, children become separated
from adults and become lost. Yesterday was no exception to the rule for
ninety-four youngsters were brought to the station house waiting to be claimed
by their parents and guardians. It was the first time this season that a
patrol wagon was utilized to pick up lost kiddies at different points and
bring them to the station house. All were quickly claimed.
   The young student’s possible drowning was the only one reported all day.
The day before when the bathing was much lighter, there were two such victims,
David SOHN, 21, of 522 Ocean View avenue, Brighton Beach, and Armand
QUADRILLI, 23, of 77 West Sixty-eighth street, Manhattan.
   Gilbert STINGO, 21, of 44 Sands street, was saved from drowning, however.
He went beyond his depth while bathing off the foot of Stillwell avenue. He
was sinking when two young men, who were too modest to identify themselves,
went to his aid. They brought him to the beach where he was treated by
Ambulance Surgeon COHEN of the Coney Island Hospital for submersion and left
for home.
   While doing acrobatic stunts at the Manhattan Beach Baths, Saul REINHEIMER,
21 years old of 180 Linden Boulevard, fell and dislocated his right shoulder.
He was attended by Ambulance Surgeon COHEN of the Coney Island Hospital.
   Motor traffic was trying for people under command of Acting Capt. Daniel
COLLINS. They managed, however, to keep the machines moving at snail’s pace.
The captain was pleased with manner his men met the situation.

PEDESTRIAN HELD UP BY PAIR FROM AUTO; POLICE ROUND UP SIX
Michael PICCOLO Reports $111 Robbery, But Suspects All Deny Charge

arraigned today before Magistrate James BLANCHFIELD in the Coney Island court
today.
   They were arrested early yesterday by detectives of the Bath Beach station
who found them at Eighteenth avenue and Eighty-fourth street immediately after
Michael PICCOLO of 87 Avenue S reported he had been held up and robbed in
front of 1754 Seventieth street of $111 in currency and a watch and chain
worth $35.
   PICCOLO told the police he was on his way home when two men jumped from an
automobile and at the point of revolvers commanded him to hold up his hands.
They rifled his pockets, he said. After robbing him the two men jumped back
into the automobile, which contained others and were driven off.
   PICCOLO looked over the six men who were taken into custody, but was unable
to identify them, positively. Police say they have other evidence to connect
them with the crime. 
The prisoners described themselves as :
-Ralph DELPRETE, 20,a salesman living at 18 Bay Fourteenth street; 
-Amelia GRIPPO, 25, butcher, of 1645 Eighty-fourth street; 
-Salvatore MANNARO, 24, chauffeur, of 8661 Sixteenth avenue;

BABY'S JAW AND ARM BROKEN, 14 TEETH KNOCKED OUT BY FIST
Driver Can't Recall Beating Housekeeper's Child
   Edward J. REILLY, truck driver, of 991 Putnam avenue, swears he doesn't
remember what happened in his apartment last night.
   But Vincent CAMPBELL, the three-year-old boy whom he supported in return
for the housekeeping services of the youngster's widowed mother, is in
Bushwick Hospital today with fourteen teeth missing from a fractured jaw and
a fractured right arm.
   Mrs. Catherine CAMPBELL, the mother, charges REILLY threatened to kill
her before he fell into a stupor.
   The attack, she told Detectives CONNELLY and CAVANAGH this morning, was
partly the result of the heat.
   "Vincent," she explained "was crying when Mr. REILLY came home about 1
A.M. He hadn't been able to sleep. Mr. REILLY was drunk and complaining
about the heat too.
   "He took some of his clothes off and sat for a while in a morris chair
near a window. Vincent's crying started him grumbling, but he finally went
into a doze.
   "A little while later Vincent started crying again. Mr. REILLY woke up.
He was in a rage. He picked Vincent out of his crib and beat him in the face
with his fist.
   "I was terribly frightened, but when I started out of the house for help,
Mr. REILLY dropped Vincent on the floor and grabbed me. He threatened to
kill me if I went out. I picked the boy up and tried to wash his face. It
was covered with blood.
   "Mr. REILLY went back to his morris chair. At about 6 o'clock he fell
asleep. Then I slipped out and came to the station house."
   When Mrs. CAMPBELL completed her story, Dr. SCHEMETZ was dispatched from
Bushwick Hospital in an ambulance to take the boy back with him. Detectives
CONNOLLY and CAVANAGH went to the house and found REILLY still in deep
slumber.
   In a cell today, where he is held on a charge of felonous assault, REILLY
said he didn't remember anything of what had happened.
   REILLY denied the accusation through his attorney, Vincent A. O'CONNOR,
when he was arraigned before Magistrate DALE in Gates avenue court. He was
held without bail for examination on Thursday.
   Detective CONNOLLY, who made the affidavit, produced REILLY's fingerprint
record showing he had been convicted of burglary in 1919 and had received a
suspended sentence, and was arrested again in 1922 on a robbery charge and
in 1923 on a charge of homicide in connection with an automobile death, but
was discharged in both instances. REILLY was sent to the workhouse for four
months in 1927 following his conviction of petty larceny.
   REILLY befriended Mrs. CAMPBELL and her son two and a half years ago,
when the youngster's father died, leaving the family penniless.

DETECTIVE SOLVES BATH HOUSE MYSTERY AT ROCKAWAY BEACH
Abandoned Clothing Belonged to Drowned Man and Visiting Couple
   What promised to be a mystery for Rockaway police when the clothes of two
men and a woman for which apparently there were no claimants were found
locked in lockers in Curley's baths, Beach 116th street, Rockaway Park,
Sunday, has been cleared up by Detective Michael CARNEY of the Rockaway
Beach precinct.
   CARNEY found that the clothing of one of the men belonged to Edward
KEARNS, 5020 Thirty-ninth place, Long Island City, who was drowned Sunday
while bathing at the foot of Beach 119th street, Rockaway Park.
   The other clothing proved to be the property of a married couple who had
met friends on the beach Sunday and had failed to return to Curley's baths
till midnight. Finding the establishment closed the couple went home in an
automobile and returned yesterday to Curley's and claimed their garments.

Accident News
CAR HITS POLE, BREAKS TREE, OVERTURNS WITH NONE HURT
Freeport Woman Driving 3, Faints at the Wheel
   An unusual accident happened at Bay Shore last night when an automobile got
out of control on the Merrick road, skidded across the street, crashed into an
electric light pole, careened off and struck a tree, breaking it off at the
base, went into an open lot, carrying part of the tree and then partly
overturned.
   In the automobile were Mrs. Marian Van ETTON of Freeport, her two children,
a boy of 8 and a girl of 6 and a maid. Mrs. Van ETTEN was driving the
automobile, which was passing the South Side Hospital, when she became faint
and lost control of the machine. She was returning home after a visit to
friends at Southampton.
   Several motorists and employees of the hospital who witnessed the accident

Court before Magistrate James BLANCHFIELD on a charge of burglary.

complainant alleged that last Monday afternoon the SMITH woman entered her
home by opening a door and stole from a kitchen table a handbag containing $35
and other valuables.
   She pursued Mrs. SMITH and captured her. Police say the prisoner answers
the description of a colored woman who robbed many homes in the Sheepshead Bay

records disclose a conviction for shoplifting and one for petty larceny
against her.
   She pleaded not guilty to the charge and was held without bail for further

20 June 1929
GIRLS MUST SWIM OR STAY HOME AT COMMERCIAL’S GRADUATION
Pupils Have Until Next Tuesday to Obey Edict
   Mrs. Evelyn W. ALLAN, principal of the Girls Commercial High School, is
enforcing the rule that all girls graduated from the school must be able to
swim the length of the 75-foot pool in the gymnasium. The penalty is loss of
the privilege of participating in the commencement exercises, which take place
next Wednesday. Instead they will get their diplomas by mail.
   "The only way to make the girls learn how to swim," said Mrs. ALLAN today,
"is to pursue more or less drastic means. Barring a girl from her commencement
will act as a tonic on her to learn how to swim."
   Mrs. ALLAN said that the pool will be open all day every day until next
Tuesday, the last opportunity to satisfy the requirement, and those girls who
have not yet traveled the 75-foot tank under their own power still have ample
time in which to master enough of the art of swimming to cover this distance.
   Mrs. ALLAN declared that the Girls Commercial High School has occupied its
new building for five years now.  All this time the girls have been aware of
the swimming requirement and they have had four years in which to learn, the
pool being available to them during their entire stay at the high school. A
month ago, more than fifty seniors had still failed to swim the length of the
pool. Yesterday this number had dwindled to twenty-nine. Mrs. ALLAN said that
she expected the number to melt away considerably during the next few days.
   Mrs. ALLAN said 249 seniors are to be graduated from the school next
Wednesday and of this number, she expects to have only a handful barred from
the commencement exercises because of failure to swim the length of the tank.
"Barring this handful." She said, "will not only stimulate those barred to
learn how to swim, but will act as a lesson for the seniors to come, who have
thus far been backward in availing themselves of the opportunity offered by
the new, beautiful pool we have here."

POLICE HOLD MOTORMAN IN CRASH ON 'L'
Charged With Homicide in Death of Guard; Injure Thirty-four
   Following the collision on the elevated railway at Eighth avenue and 112th
street, in which a train guard was killed and thirty-four passengers injured,
James McGLYNN, 43, motorman of one of the trains, was arrested on a charge of
homicide today.
   The crash occurred at the highest point on the Manhattan elevated
structures. Ninety feet above the street, a northbound Sixth avenue train
rammed into the rear of a Ninth avenue train, ploughing through the last car
of the latter train and causing the two cars ahead to buckle.
   Edward BRENNAN, a guard on the Ninth avenue train, was wedged in the
wreckage and acetylene torches had to be used to free him. He died soon
afterward.
   Another death was caused indirectly by the accident. Assistant Fire Marshal
William A. EMMERSON suffered a heart attack while investigating the collision
and died two hours afterward.
   Passengers were terrified by the buckling cars, and fire which broke out on
the floors of both trains added to the confusion. Ladders were thrown up to
the elevated track by fire companies and passengers were helped to the street.
   At various hospitals it was said that most of the thirty-four persons were
only slightly hurt.

BORN AND BRED IN NEW YORK, CANNOT READ OR WRITE AT 22
Court Calls "Experts" Down for Neglect of Criminal
   A twenty-two-year-old youth, who could neither read nor write, although
born and reared in New York City, brought before him on a charge of burglary,
prompted some caustic criticism today by Judge MARTIN, chairman of the board
of county judges, on the attitude of alleged "experts" in dealing with the
crime problem.
   The youth is Edward KELLY, of 773 Melrose avenue, the Bronx. On May 29 ,
last, KELLY and another youth, identifying himself as Fred PRENDERGAST, 20,
802 Melrose avenue, the Bronx, forced entrance into a store at 163 Flatbush
avenue and tried unsuccessfully to carry away twenty-five suits of men’s
clothes.
   PRENDERGAST, with a clean record, was allowed to plead to petty larceny,
while from KELLY, who has been in trouble before, a plea of attempted burglary
was accepted. The record of KELLY showed that in 1923 sentence was suspended
on him on a charge of petty larceny; in 1924 he was sent to Elmira for
burglary, and last year a charge of possessing a revolver was dismissed.
   "This young man, who can neither read nor write," said Judge MARTIN,
"although he was born and reared right in New York City, is another proof of
how far short we fall of meeting the problem of crime justly and
intelligently. We have not an institution of any kind where we might send a
defendant of this kind, rid him of his handicaps and give him a chance to work
out his talents for good that the Creator gave him.
   "We find alleged ‘crime experts’ rushing into print with their blatant
demand: ‘Put him in prison’ as the ‘cure all’ for crime. A parrot could say as
much and reason as intelligently.
   "Here we have an unfortunate illiterate right in New York City and a native
of New York City, who since 1923 has been in and out of prisons on several
occasions without the least effort on the part of authorities to help him and
try to save him. It has been just a case of ‘yank him in; throw him out; yank
him in; throw him out.’ A decent effort to have saved this boy on his first
offense would in all probability have kept him from other crimes and done
society a useful service.
   "Now I have got to send him to Sing Sing because the law says I must. He is
here now as a second offender. With all its wealth New York State has not an
institution to which a youth of this kind might be sent with advantage to
himself and still greater advantage to the community as a whole. Under the law
he must be sent among hardened criminals and through this association hardened
in crime."

"TOO OLD TO LIVE." MAN TELLS WIFE AS HE WIELDS HAMMER
Couple Had Been Estranged-Woman Badly Injured, But Will Recover
   Declaring "I cannot stop drinking and you’re too old to live." Alfred
HANSDALE, who has been separated from his wife, Sophie, 45, of 28 Van Sicklen
street, for several weeks, went to her home at 7 A.M. today with a hammer
concealed under his coat and beat her severely about the face and scalp.
   The wife fell screaming to the floor. Dr. FREUND of Harbor Hospital removed
her that institution, where she was found to be suffering from deep
lacerations.
   Detective John FITZSIMMONS of the Bath Beach station, found HANSDALE in the
cellar, where he had just swallowed a quantity of strong poison. He was
removed to Coney Island Hospital, under arrest, charged with felonious
assault. HANSDALE has been living at 849 Forty-second street and is a house painter.

PARASITES EAT ON BOY’S BLOOK AS LIFE EBBS
Brooklyn Stalwarts Asked to Save Lad Stricken by Tropical Disease
   Brooklyn stalwarts who can spare some blood have been appealed to today in
an effort to save the life of fourteen-year-old George MOSHER of 561 West
Fiftieth street, Manhattan, who is in the Seaside Hospital, Staten Island,
suffering from a dread tropic disease.
   Despite the fact that the disease, known as kala-azar, is slowly sapping
the life of the MOSHER boy, he is one of the most cheerful patients in the
hospital and physicians and nurses connected with the institution are doing
all in their power to save his life.
   Dr. James BOWMAN, chief resident physician at the hospital, said that the
chances of the boy’s recovering are slim. Kala-azar takes the form of myriad
parasites which destroy the red blood corpuscles and produce an advanced form
of anemia. At present, Dr. BOWMAN said, the lad has only one-eighth of the
normal amount of red blood cells.
   The disease is carried by an insect, just as malaria is carried by
mosquitoes, Dr. BOWMAN said. It is bred in tropical climates. It was probably
carried here by some one and transmitted to George, whose home is in a section
of Manhattan inhabited largely by immigrants from equatorial regions.
   Although transfusions have been performed every week for the past four
weeks and George has improved greatly immediately after each of them, he
always later sinks to a low condition as the parasites absorb the fresh red
blood cells and drain the youth’s energy.
   The cost of each operation, Dr. BOWMAN said, is $50. He pointed out that
the boy’s parents are too poor to pay for the transfusions. The hospital, a
charitable institution, has paid the bill so far but will be unable to
continue doing so much longer, the chief resident physician declared.

"Brooklyn Ain’t Brooklyn No More"
   "I see that the horsecars are gone. But tell me, is the Elephant Hotel
still the main attraction at Coney Island? What’s happened to Brooklyn? It’s
all changed."
   Forty-five years ago, Mrs. MILLIGAN left her little home in the then quiet
residential section at Front street, near the Navy Yard. At that time her
five-room house rented for $16 per month. Last Monday marked her first glimpse
of the borough since her return from Scotland. Now at the residence of her
sister, Mrs. I. S. KENNEDY of 2,228 East Third street, Mrs. MILLIGAN does not
believe she will ever return to Scotland.
   When informed that the cigar-store Indian had been supplanted by the
drug-store cowboy; that the horsecars had gone the way of all horseflesh; that
the "huge five-story" Elephant Hotel, with stairways in the legs and a barroom
in the trunk, had long since been razed, the sprightly grey-haired Mrs.
MILLIGAN seemed bewildered.
   "I’m lost!" she exclaimed. "I lived in Brooklyn from 1882 to 1884, but this
isn’t Brooklyn. All these buildings and streets and automobiles; the crowds
passing by-my goodness, but it’s changed. They tell me this is Brooklyn, but
if it was not for the street numbers I should be lost every time I ventured
from my porch."
   Mrs. MILLIGAN has never been on a subway or elevated train. She has still
to see Times Square since it has become the chief luminary of the Great White
Way. Although she witnessed the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, she had no
knowledge of the other two spans until her arrival here this week.
   She boasted quietly of having once been on the roof of a fifteen story
skyscraper in lower Manhattan from which point of vantage she could "look
right into the backyard of her home in Brooklyn."
   "Though now I suppose," she diffidently remarked, "you would not call that
building very high. I’ll never forget my first glimpse of the skyline. Of
course, I had seen picture postcards of the skyscrapers, but they didn’t seem
real somehow."

BOY, 5, HELPS DOCTOR REVIVE 4 IN FAMILY
Jamaica Family, Overcome After Eating Cake Saved
   Tommy STACI, five years, son of Ralph STACI, 56 years, of 147-31 Glassboro
avenue, Jamaica, was a hero in his home today. While his father and his two
sisters, Mary, 21, and Helen, 9, and his brother, Philip, 6, were desperately
ill, he assisted the doctor in attending upon the others and possibly saving
their lives. All of this happened because Tommy did not care for a midnight
lunch of cake and coffee.
   It was just before midnight that the older members of the family decided
they would have something to eat. So the father sent out to a bakery on
Rockaway road for a cake, while Mary the oldest made coffee. When the cake was
brought in all sat down to eat. Tommy was given his piece of cake, but he
declared that he did not care to eat.
   After the lunch the family went to bed. In about an hour all became
desperately ill. A call was sent to Mary Immaculate Hospital and Dr. KROHN
responded. He found Tommy the only member of the family who could assist him.
He worked over the father and the children and finally gave them relief. He
said they were suffering from some kind of poisoning due to what they ate.
Today the members of the family were reported to be recovering.

BOYS START ON LONG HIKE; EXPECT TO COVER 8,000 MILES

Commercial place, Greenpoint, have started on what they propose to make an

River route to the Great Lakes, Chicago and the Pacific Coast. Thence they
will go down to Mexico across the country to the gulf coast and then northward
to New York.
   No word has been received from them since they left Greenpoint, but it is
expected they will drop postcards to their friends at the first Canadian
turning point.
   For equipment they took extra socks, shirts and underclothing and a pup
tent and blankets. Their cash resources were very small, but they expected to
do odd jobs along the route and make money enough not only to pay expenses,
but to arrive back in Greenpoint with what they described as " a sock." The
date of their return is tentatively set as some time in October.

CRAZED BY THE HEAT, TRIES TO END LIFE BY GAS POISONING
Man Is Revived and Will Live
Woman Drinks Iodine
   As he sat at the door of his home with his family last night, Michael
FRANKLIN, 40, of 136 North First street, complained about the heat and said he
would not be able to stand another "heat wave." He left his family and went to
his room. A short time afterward, he was found by his wife, Sadie, on the
kitchen floor unconscious from gas poisoning.
   According to the police, he had put a rubber tube in his mouth. The tube
was connected to a small gas stove. He was treated by Ambulance Surgeon
GARDNER of Greenpoint Hospital, who with the aid of two patrolmen from Bedford
avenue station, revived FRANKLIN and left him at home.
   Following an argument late last night with her husband, Abraham, Mrs. Edna
ROBINS, 30, of 265 South Second street, according to the police of Bedford
avenue station, attempted to kill herself by drinking a quantity of iodine.
She was given first aid treatment by Patrolman Edward BUCK of Bedford avenue
station and was later attended by Ambulance Surgeon FEELY of St. Catherine’s Hospital.

TOWN TO RELEASE OLD 'HOSS' POND
   The Huntington Town Board has been asked for a release on property which it
formerly used for a public watering pond for horses.
   Most of these ponds, of which there were once many in various parts of the
town, have long since been disposed of. One, however, still remains as town
property although it is dried up. It is located on property formerly owned by
Mary A. TARLER, on what is known as the 'Alpho Farm' composed of seventy
acres, near the Jericho Turnpike at South Huntington.
   Last fall Mrs. TARLER sold the property in question, she informed the
board, but is unable to entirely satisfy the purchaser unless she is able to
turn over to him a release from the town of Huntington for the old watering
pond, which covered half an acre and was located a few feet from the highway.
The former watering pond has long been dried up and half of it has been fenced
in for fifty years, according to Mrs. TARLER.
   Mrs. TARLER appeared personally before the board at its last meeting, and
after the matter was explained, the officials voted to visit the place with a
view to giving to the former owner the release she requests.

ORPHAN QUITS HARVEST FIELD, BUT CITY CLAIMS HIM VICTIM
Easy Money Entices Boy, 17, Toward Prison Cell
   He helped gather the harvests in fields from Maine to California and was happy 
and satisfied with the remuneration from his toil, but then he drifted into New York, 
got the desire for "easy" money and now at the age of seventeen, he is on his way to 
prison.
   Yet the situation might have been worse for William BROWNESTONE, an orphan, but for 
the interest taken in him today by County Judge Franklin TAYLOR and Assistant District 
Attorney John J. KEAN.
   BROWNESTONE, with Peter CERAFICI, 17, of 747 East Eighty-seventh street, was called 
for trial today by Assistant District Attorney KEAN on a charge of robbery in the first 
degree. It was alleged against them that with a revolver as a weapon, they had robbed 
Louis GOLDSTEIN of $18 in his store at 1030 Forty-sixth street. Both boys admitted their 
guilt.
   It was first brought out that the gun was a useless one that BROWNESTONE had found. 
Judge TAYLOR then learned from BROWNESTONE his story. At the age of twelve BROWNESTONE 
was left an orphan. He left his home town, Bayonne, N.J., to find work and a home on a 
farm. From section to section he wandered, according to the seasons, working all the 
time on the harvesting machines, because he liked that work. Last winter he came to New York, 
determined to learn the electrician's trade. He became an electrician's apprentice. With 
neither parents nor friends, he made what acquaintance an orphan boy of seventeen could 
make in a big city. These friends had not been the hardworking boy BROWNESTONE had been, 
and they had no desire to be.
   Then came the finding of the revolver and with this find came the desire for "easy" 
money. From GOLDSTEIN the eighteen dollars were taken and then followed the arrest of 
BROWNESTONE and CERAFICI.
   Today Judge TAYLOR with the consent of Assistant District Attorney KEAN, accepted 
from BROWNESTONE a plea to robbery in the third degree and from CERAFICI a plea to assault 
in the second degree. Under this plea, Judge TAYLOR can send both defendants to Elmira, 
where they can learn a trade.
   "A homeless orphan at the age of twelve," said Judge TAYLOR, "has a hard and difficult 
lot. Boys who come safely through such a condition usually make history. This boy proved 
the worth in him by working for five years in the harvest fields. I will not let his 
life be wrecked through his first fall. I will help all I can. In this case justice 
cries out for mercy."

19-YEAR-OLD MOTHER AND GIRL, HELD FOR CONEY LOCKER THEFT
Younger, 17, Tries to Take Blame - Two Waive Hearing for Grand Jury Action
   Mrs. Minnie PEPPI, 19, of 208 Division street, and Betty COLLURA, 17, of
606 Ashford street, charged with opening lockers in a Coney Island bath house
yesterday, were held for grand jury action by Magistrate BROWN in Coney Island
court today after they had waived preliminary hearing.
   According to the police, the two girls were arrested in the Irving Baths,
West Fifteenth street, yesterday. After they had been separated, police said,
they admitted having opened lockers rented by Mrs. Molly KESSELMAN of 634 East
Eleventh street and Mrs. Rose MONROE of 432 St. Mark’s avenue, and having
taken $12 from handbags.
   The COLLURA girl begged police to let Mrs. PEPPI go, offering to take all
blame. She explained Mrs. PEPPI had a baby who needed her care and admitted
she had a skeleton key with which the lockers were opened.
   The key was found in Mrs. PEPPI’s handbag.

BORO WOMAN AND SON DYING IN FATAL CRASH ON CROSSING
Three N.Y. Children Killed in Bus in Bay State
   Great Barrington, Mass., June 25
A Brooklyn woman and her son are dying today and three New York children, 
visitors at a vacation farm near here and the driver of the bus in which 
they were riding are dead as the result of the Pittsfield-New York express 
of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad striking the machine on a 
crossing at Ashley Falls, about seven miles from here this afternoon.
   Other occupants of the bus, carrying thirteen New York City and Brooklyn
children and parents of some of them were injured.
   The children had arrived to stay at the Melaned Farm, a boarding house on
the Twin Lakes road. Hyman MELANED, the proprietor of the farm, was driving
them to the Sheffield Station to get their baggage when the bus was struck.
		List of Victims:
-HYMAN MELANED, 32, of Sheffield, died at Fairview Hospital, Great Barrington.
-RUTH and SYLVIA KLINE, daughters of Samuel L. KLINE of 137 Rivington street,
	New York, both instantly killed.
-SACHE FARGO, 17, 9 Clinton street, New York, died in Fairview Hospital.
-Mrs. Ida FINKELSTEIN, 149 South Fourth street, Brooklyn; possibly fatally
	injured; at Fairview Hospital.

	scalp wounds; condition serious.
-NATHAN LANSBOURG, 5, same address.
-JACK KLINE, of 137 Rivington street, New York, scalp wounds.
   Abram GRAFF, twelve years old, of New York, was riding on a running board
of the bus. He saw the approaching train and jumped to safety just before the
crash. He was badly frightened and was unable to give a coherent account of
the accident.
   The bus was struck in the centre and was carried some distance down the
track by the engine. The train was in charge of Conductor William B. STOKES of
New York and Michael J. COFFEY of Pittsfield as engineer.
   Several doctors were summoned. Medical examiner John B. BEBEE of Berkshire
County was one of the first to reach the scene and directed the removal of the
injured and dead.
   Local officers also went to the scene of the accident to control the
traffic jam that occurred soon after the crash. Hundreds went to the crossing
from the surrounding towns. Also at the hospital late in the evening it was
necessary to have an officer to keep back the crowds seeking information
regarding the injured.
   The farm has for the past eight years been caring for children sent there
by New York charitable institutions and those in the bus were the first to
arrive this year.

KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO SIT ON VOLCANO
Greenpoint Man Survives 'Asphalt Lava' Blast
   Frank O’ CONNOR, of 218 Eckford street, Greenpoint, is telling his friends
today what if feels like to be sitting on a truckload of asphalt when it blows
up.
   O’CONNOR, hurled from his seat by the 'asphalt lava' blast, described a
nine-foot arc through the atmosphere at Strong’s Causeway in the Flushing
Meadows today and landed practically unhurt against a shanty of Asphalt Plant
No. 3, of the Queens Highway Bureau.
   The truck, owned by the Standard Oil Company, was loaded with asphaltic
cement to be delivered to the plant. The gummy substance must be heated before
it will run from a tank. Everything on the truck’s heating apparatus worked
except the safety valve, police said.
   The dome of the auto tank sailed seventy-five feet to clip an awning from a
house. Windows in the neighborhood were broken.  The truck was demolished but
there was no fire.

29 June 1929
  BROOKLYN MAN LOST ON COAST WINS A BRIDE
 Three years ago Samuel SCHUHALTER, assistant manager
of the Folly Theatre, felt that he needed a vacation. He decided
to spend it with relatives in California.
  When he reached San Francisco he became confused and 
stopped a young woman and asked to be directed to the train
that would take him to Pasadena.
  ''I was going to ask you the same favor'', replied the young woman.
They soon discovered that they were both from Brooklyn. And
there started a romance.The young lady introduced herself as
Miss Frances RASHAP, daughter of Rabbi Isaac RASHAP.
  Thursday night, in the presence of many friends, the couple
were married at The Chateau, 2560 Ocean avenue. The father
of the bride officiated. Saul SCHUHALTER was best man.
Ida RASHAP was maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Harriett
SCHUHALTER, Bella ROSINSKY, Esther ROSENBERG and
Mildred LEISTEIN.
  Following the ceremony there was a reception.The couple
will spend their honeymoon touring Europe. They will make their
home in Manhattan Beach.

WOMAN 65 YEARS WEDDED FROWNS ON SHORT SKIRTS
  On the eve of the sixty-fifth anniversary of her marriage, Mrs.Isaac
FRANKLIN, of 792 East Twenty-first street, to-day is of the belief
that ''the quality of contentment is the one most essential to a
happy marriage''.
  ''Most girls expect too much'', Mrs.FRANKLIN said. ''Seeing a new 
hat on the street is no reason for going out and buying one when
you can't afford it. The essential things is to make the best of what
you have and be content until you are in a position to get better.''
  Living in New York and vicinity for practically the latter half of
the last century, both Mr. and Mrs.FRANKLIN have seen many 
changes, the introduction of gas, and then electric, lighting seeming
to figure prominently in their minds.
  Questioned as to this modern age, Mrs.FRANKLIN expressed both
approval and disapproval. She doesn't approve smoking, drinking and
short skirts for girls. But she thinks everyone is much better off nowadays
than they used to be. She likes street cars and automobiles and says 
she would go for a ride in an airplane if an opportunity presented itself.
  Mr.FRANKLIN is eighty-nine. He arrived in this country from Germany
when eleven and remembers New York when there was little development
north of Forty-second street. His wife, who is a year younger, arrived also
from Germany, a few years later. Mr.FRANKLIN enlisted in the Fifty-
fifth Regiment for the Civil War, but after a few weeks in camp at
Castle Garden was mustered out, as he was not tall enough for 
service. They were married in 1864. One of the bridesmaids at their
wedding is still living.
  Mr.FRANKLIN was apprenticed to various trades and finally became
a glazier. His first vote was cast for the Democratic party, but later
he decided to become a supporter of the Republicans. He believes
in prohibition, he says, but thinks it schould be fixed somehow so
that the workingman could get a glass of good beer and no ''two per
cent imitations.''
  Both Mr.and Mrs.FRANKLIN are in excellent health and receive
many visitors.Mr.FRANKLIN takes a delight in playing bridge and
pinochie.Mrs.FRANKLIN sews, knits and crochets without the aid
of glasses. A week or two ago they attended a wedding and 
Mr.FRANKLIN took part in several dances.

TWO BROTHERS HELP THE THIRD MARRY NURSE
  Two brothers were essential to a wedding in the Flatbush Presbyterian
Church this morning and a third brother participated as best man.
  J.Howard FIELD, son of Mr.and Mrs.John H.FIELD, of 1828 East
Twenty-second street, was married to Miss Alberta WEBER, of 34
Butler street, by his brother, the Rev.Dr.Herbert H. FIELD, pastor 
of the church.
  Mr.FIELD was attended by Francis L.FIELD, another brother.
The bride was attended by Miss Irene WEBER, her sister. Following
the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served in the home of the
bridegroom's parents. After a wedding trip the couple will live in
the Midwood district.
  The wedding is the outcome of a sick-bed romance which started
two years ago when Mr.FIELD, who is controller of the Brooklyn
and Queens Y.M.C.A., was ill in the Prospect Heights Hospital.
Miss WEBER was his nurse. She is now a nurse for the Board
of Underwriters.

CHILDREN' REMSEMBLANCE TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
Is Resented by Mother 
 George Washington chopped down the cheery tree and he
readily admitted it. The children of Mrs.Ida LIPERA, at 79
Seville street,Elmont, were charged with the same offense, but
Mrs.LIPERA denied it so emphatically, however, that she threw a
flatiron, four bricks and a baseball bat at her children's accuser, to
impress upon him the falsity of the charge.
 John T. KERWIN, crossing watchman for the Long Island Railroad,
who lives next door to Mrs.LIPERA, declared that Thursday morning
he discovered several cheery trees in his garden had been destroyed.
Thinking that Mrs.LIPERA'S children might have done it, he 
complained to his neighbor about it. Then, he charges, he was met
with an onslaught of flatirons, bricks and baseball bats. This he 
considered was disorderly conduct. Justice Edward Ty NEU, in
Lynbrook court, thought so too, and fined the woman $10.She paid.

   THREE STABBED IN CONEY FIGHT; ONE MAN HELD
  Walter ALBERITCH, 18, of 680 West Forty-ninth street,
Manhattan, is in a serious condition at Coney Island Hospital
with stab wounds in the back and side, and John MORROW,
19, of 354 West Forty-eighth street, Manhattan, is in the same
hospital with a badly cut hand, as the result of a fight last night,
just outside Steeplechase Park, Coney Island, with James MARTINE,
17 of 1130 Lafayette avenue.
  According to MARTINE, who is at the Coney Island police station
on the charge of felonious assault, the fight started inside the park
when he stepped into a roller coaster car ahead of two girls who
were members of a West Side Manhattan club on an outing at
the Island. ALBERTICH and other members of the club, he said,
took up the fight and MARTINE, seeing he was out-numbered, said
he left Steeplechase Park. The others, however, followed and 
renewed the fight outside. While ALBERITCH was choking him,
MARTINE told police he drew his knife, intending to stab him in
the arm to force him to let go. The others closed in and he lost
his head and began to stab wildly.
  While MARTINE was telling his story to police, David FRIEDMAN,
24, of 228 Kingsland avenue, came into the station bleeding badly
from stab wounds in the face. Police thought he was another of
MARTINE'S victims until he explained that he was stabbed in a 
fight inside Steeplechase Park an hour before the other fight
started. He did not know his assailant.
