which has gripped the city during the

One very Important result of Dr.

that Invariably the germ which

Dr. Ivan Halobmoff of Tacoma, Wash.,
WhO CAT11 P in V.w Vnil ft- 11 .
'''" ago. tried to Jump Into the last car
iiuruiDuunu suoway local train at
r ourteenth street last night through the
aide door.
The closing door caught the doctor
na succeeoeu in getting hla
head and moat of his body Into the car.
Despite his loud protests the train pulled
out of the station.
Dr. Halobmoff clung to a stanchion
and ahouted loudly as his feet were
whisked along perilously near the row of
Iron pillars outside the car. Hla cries
were so vigorous that ratrolman Mc
cormick of the Hamburg avenue station,
Hrooklyn, In the car ahead, heard them
above the roar of the train and pulled
the emergency brakes. The train came
to n standstill at about Sixteenth street,
and the policeman and guards pulled the
doctor Into the car.
At the Eighteenth street station Dr.
Halobmoff declined to be looked over by
an ambulance surgeon, saying that he
would treat himself, and left the subway
to pursue his Journey by a slower and
safer route.
CHILD DELINQUENTS'
NAMES PROTECTED
Justice Snnutel P. Levy, New
Hrooklyn Appointee, Bars
Court Publicity.
Secret proceedings are to be the rule
In the Children's Court. Hrooklyn, from
now on, If the newly appointed Justice
Samuel D. Levy haa his way. Yester
day he barred the court to the public,
Including newspaper men, and an
nounced he would continue to do so
under a power of discretion conferred by
the Intefdor courts law.
Justice Levy holds that publicity, as
It relates to child culprits, is a two
edged sword, cutting their reputations
to tatters on the one hand and slash
ing on the other at the moral foothold of
many of their weaker "little brothers."
If a boy gets Into trouble It Is likely,
according to the new Justice, to handi
cap him later on, particularly as re
garjls political preference or civil ser
vice Jobs. At the time, however, he
becomes a youthful hero to his as
sociates, who seek to emulate him.
Asked If he would close any other
courts to the public If empowered to
do so. Justice Levy retorted: "Ye, the
woman's night court It Is stain en
the city to see 500 persons sitting there
enjoying the narratives of unfortunate
Mil depraved women."
The only kind of boy that Justice
Levy doesn't like, apparently. Is "the
abnormal boy that wears curls, never
misses Sunday school and runs In the
house when the dog barks at hla little
sister."
'That kind of boy never comes here,"
Justice Levy said. "It's the normal boy
who gets Into trouble, and publication
of his mischievous pranks hurts other
boys nnd Interfere with the work this
court Is trying to do."

Is not even now assured of the return of
artists he already has under contract.
Some of his artists are being retained

Many others are actually In service, and
for the men who are not engaged In

As for the women ringers, he says
they will not cross tho ocean becauie
