To Be More Stringent
New influenza cases fell yesterday
to the lowest total reported since
January 23, and there was a drop in
deaths and new pneumonia cases. There
has been a steady decline in the
epidemic for several days now and Dr.
Royal S. Copeland, the Health Com?
missioner, said yesterday that, barring
possible complications due to the
storm, he looked for the gradual pass?
ing of the visitation. He believed, he
said, that deaths from pneumonia
would continue to be relatively high
for the next few days, synchronous
with the peak days of the epidemic
a week ago, when more than 5,000 new
cases were reported, although he
thought the pneumonia cases would
steadily fall.

Clean-Up Crusade In Subway
Dr. Copeland .has conferred with
Frank Hedley, president of the Inter
borough, to obtain cooperation on the
part of the subway and elevated em?
ployees in putting an end to expectora?
tion on platforms and in the cars.
He received word yesterday from Mr.
Hedley that superintendents of the sub?
way and elevated divisions have been
instructed to notify employees to report
the violators to the police. Carrying
lighted cigarettes and cigars In the cars
or on platforms will also subject of?
fenders to punishment.
Milk deliveries throughout the city,
which have been chaotic since the
storm, were back on a normal basis yes?
terday, although delay was experienced
due to the condition of the streets, ac?
cording to Health Department reports.
Ole Salthe, Acting Director of the Food
and Drug Bureau, reported to Commis?
sioner Copeland that deliver-' of mi k
had been resumed in Statei. Island fo*
the first time since the storm, although
nothing like a regular schedule of
. distribution was possible.
The ambulance efficiency of the hos?
pitals has been seriously impaired, due
to the difficulty of passing through the
snow-filled streets, To supplement the
shortage of cars some government am?
bulances have been obtained from Gov?
ernor's Island and have been distributed
to the various hospitals. Ambulances
of relief organizations have also been
pressed into service.
Calls upon the Health Department
yesterday for nurses were the fewest
for, several days, only twenty-two re?
quests being registered. Of these
fifteen were supplied.

Seek to Exempt Sewer
Bonds From Debt Limit
Business Men to Promote
Amendment to Make Improved
System Possible
The Merchants' Association has
drafted and plans to seek the passage
of an amendment to the state constitu?
tion that will exempt bonds issued for
a sewerage system from the total of
indebtedness which must be counted
against the debt limit. For many
years, the Merchants' Association has
urged the construction of an adequate
sewerage system for New York City
on the ground that the present system
pollutes the harbor water and is a
menace to public health.
The organization's committee on pol?
lution and sewerage, of which Edward
Hatch jr. is chairman, first proposed a
sewerage plan during the administra?
tion of Mayor McClellan. A special
committee appointed to consider the
legal aspects of the bond Issue which
would be necessary consisted of Will?
iam C. Breed, Morgan J. O'Brien,
Louis Marshall and William N. Dyk
man.
The committee considered especially
whether sewerage bonds do not come
under the present provision of the con?
stitution exempting water supply bonds
i rom the debt limit. The constitution
reads that such bonds may be issued
"to provide the supply of water." The
committee decided that this language
does not cover sewerage bonds, and that
?t constitutional exemption would be
necessary.

upper floors reached the street before
the building was enveloped in flames.

Copeland Shuns
Own'Flu9Hint
Dr. Royal S. Copeland, who as
Health Commissioner advises all
persons to take to their beds at
the first symptom of influenza,
was a victim himself at the
height of the epidemic, it web
learned yesterday, and failed
conspicuously to take his own ad?
vice.
Although taking every precau?
tion to avoid spreading the dis?
ease, the. Health Commissioner
did not miss a day from his post,
and within a short tune threw off
the malady. Members of his staff
urged him to go home and stay
there, but this Dr. Copeland re?

Middle Class Union Aims
To Bring Living Cost Down1
_ , ^
Organizer Emphasizes Fact That Object Is to Pre?
vent Strikes, but, Above All, to Give the Army
of "In-Betweens" a Fair Deal
A lawyer, two silk merchants and a'
machinist are the promoters of the
Middle Class Union, granted incorpora?
tion papers on Friday by Supreme
Court Justice Kelby, in Brooklyn. Bay
Ridge, Brooklyn, and Manhattan are
represented in the temporary directo?
rate.
"We aim to make the middle classes
articulate," Wilmot L. Morehouse, law?
yer, organizer, of the union, said yes?
terday.
At his Bay Ridge home Mr. More
house answered numerous telephone
calls.
"Already we have more than 150 ap?
plicants," he said, "and we have not
even opened offices. I feel sure that
the movement will be a great success.
There is need for just such an organi?
zation.
"Our main objects as outlined in the
statement upon which Judge Klelby ap?
proved the incorporation are elaetic.
We aim to organize all the middle class
people of New York State to protect
their constitutional rights from all ag?
gression, from whatever source. We
Intend also to organize groups end cen?
ters within our sphere of influence
and eventually to make the movement
a national one.
Fair Play for All
"We will work to secure fair play
for all classes. This is not a move?
ment in opposition to labor unions or
to organized labor. We shall, in fact,
welcome members of organized labor
to our circle. But our primary inter?
est is in fact to protect the salaried
man, the professional man and the
artist.
"The capitalists are organized. The
man who works with his hands is or?
ganized. In between there is the great
Merchants Robbed
Of 'Blessed9 Money
Two Women, Said To Be
Fortune Tellers, Ar?
raigned onTheftCharge
Detective Sergeant Thomas P. Phe
Ian, of the West Thirtieth Street sta
tion, testified in the Jefferson Market
Court yesterday that som? merchants
of Fifth Avenue place great confidence
in fortune tellers and frequently call
upon them to bless the money in the
cash registers of their stores.
This testimony was given In the
cases of two gypsy women, Rosie Mark
and Mary Miller, w?io were arraigned j
before Chief City Magistrate William!
McAdtoo, charged with suspicion of
grand larceny.
The two women, who, the police say,
are fortune tellers, appeared before the
magistrate gaudily attired. Detective
Phelan testified that the Mark woman
had stolen $70 from the cash register
of Alfred Bennett, a merchant, at 306
Fifth Avenue, and that Mary Miller
had taken a $100 bill from the cash
register of William Reiman, a jeweler,
at 828 Fifth Avenue.
Phelan asserted certain merchants of
Fifth Avenue allow the fortune tellers
to go behind the counters and bless
the money in the cash registers and in
this way thefts are committed.
"We have had twenty complaints just
like these," said Phelan. "It is hard
to get the complainants to come for?
ward and testify against the women."
Bennett appeared against Rosie
Mark. He admitted that he had had
hi? fortune told and had lost the $70
because he permitted the woman to go
behind the counter.
The women were held in f 1,000 bail
each for examination next Friday.
Bail was furnished by a surety com?
pany.
Origin of "Cold Shoulder"
The origin of the phrase "to give the
cold shoulder" is said to have been due
to the custom in France of serving a
cold ?boulder instead of a hot roast
thos**fco**vieite had laatad
JSMW
mass of unorganized workers who have
no articulate voice as a whole in the
affairs of the nation. These are the
'in-betweens,' the ham in the sand?
wich. We are going to give them a
voice.
"We seek to organize and r?sister all
classes of citizens for civic service
of all kinds. We intend to work for
lower taxes and cooperative betterment
of the community. We seek also to
promote trade and business."
One of the first tasks which the new
union will tackle, Mr. Morehouse said,
will be the high cost of living. This
is the great problem of the average
middle class man, he said, and his or?
ganization will si-'ek a practical remedy
without delay.
Aims to Prevent Strikes
He did not think it likely that the
Middle Class Union will call strikes.
At any rate, not yet.
"What we aim to do is to prevent
strikes, not to promote them," he de?
clared. "A very large proportion of
our existing difficulties is due to over
eagerness to use the strike weapon."
Membership dues are to be nominal,
a dollar a year covering all fees.
None of the officers, except possibly a
secretary, the promoter explainod, will
be salaried.
But, of course, a dollor a year will
hardly meet expenses," he added. "We
shall have to get more money from
friends of the cause."
A similar organization in England
has achieved tremendous success in
only eleven months of operation, Mr.
Morehouse said. Until the incorpora?
tion proceedings are completed the
business of the union will be done from
Mr. Morehouse's law office, at 50
Church Street, Brooklyn.
Women's League to Fight
The Latest Welfare Bill
Measure Restricting Workers to
Eight Hours Called Pernicious
by Mrs. Gabriel
The Women's- Equal Opportunity
League will have representatives in
Albany to-day to oppose a bill intro?
duced Friday by Assemblyman Charles
D. Donahue which would make it illegal
for any woman to work more than
eight hours a day. Another so-called
welfare bill passed by the last Legis?
lature prohibited the employment of
women at night.
A statement given out by the league
declares all women working in edi?
torial departments of magazines and
newspapers, as well as stenographers,
librarians, file clerks, conductors, ticket
agents, accountants, proofreaders and
cashiers will be unfavorably affected
by the Donahue measure.
"This is the most pernicious of the
so-called welfare bills." said Mrs. Oli?
ver Stott Gabriel, a lawyer and promi?
nent in the league, yesterday. "And,
apparently, there is something subtle
and insidious back of tho campaign to
foist these laws upon women who do
not want them. Whenever news comes
from Albany of activity in behalf of
these welfare bills it is accompanied
by tho statement that they have the
support of Governor Smith, the labor
unions, women's organizations and
many prominent women."
Woman Dies While in Taxicab
En Route to Railroad Station
Mrs. May Lea Wilcn, fifty-five, of 218
Prospect Place, Brooklyn, died sud?
denly in a taxicab at Seventh Avenue
and Eighteenth Street late yesterday
afternoon, as she was being taken by
her husband, Areese M. Wilen, to the
Pennsylvania Station. Mrs. Wilen was
about to depart for Philadelphia, to be
treated for heart disease, from which
she had suffered for some time. She
also was accompanied by her nephew,

Lipkbwska Brings
Her Hero Husband
Here From France
Russian Diva and Youthful
Lieutenant Who Rescued
Her and Daughter From
"Reds" In on Adriatic
Mme. Lydia Lfcpkowska, the Russian
soprano, who recently married a young
lieutenant of the French navy who had
rescued her thirteen-year-old daughter
from the Bolsheviki in OdcsBa, ar?
rived here yesterday on the White Star
j liner Adriatic, after an abaenco of
1 four years from this country.
She was accompanied by her husband.
| Lieutenant Pierre Bodin, and soon will
; resume her work on tho operatic stage.
When the Bolsheviki were in their
! ascendancy and persons of wealth wore
j being attacked in Petrograd Mme. Lip
: kovvska fled with her daughter, Alden
? na, to Odessa. She had cashed much of
j lier securities and upon this and tho
sale of a quantity o* jewels she took
| with her, was able to live comfortably
; in. *ho southern Russian seaport on
i the Black Sea.
Allied troops and naval forces were
in the city and life there was not half
i bad, sho said, until the Bolsheviki
made their power felt in that vicinity.
The forces of Leninc and Trotzky
eventually surrounded the port and a
group of French officers, including her
husband, informed the diva that she
had better flee. A steamship was ready
to take a selected number of refugees
and would land them in Constantinople*
Lieutenant Bodin informed her, and in
the hasty departure Mme. Lipkowska
lost her daughter.
After a week in tho Turkish capital
the singer informed Lieutenant Bodin
'hat she preferred to be in Bolshevist
Odessa with a hope of finding her child
than to be safe in Constantinople with
Mit. her.
It was then that the singer's present
' usband decided to take a desperate
chance to find Aldenna. !
Accompanied by five brother officers I
and tho prima donna, all disguised as I
iisherfolk, Lieutenant Bodin procured
a fishing schooner and in this the party |
crossed the Black Sea and dropped
anchor in the port of Odessa. At the
end of six days they found the singer's j
daughter and put her aboard th?
schooner. Mme. Lipkowska and her
companions were questioned often by
Bolshevist soldiers, but feigned drunk
eness.
Later Mme. Lipkowska and Aldenna
went to Paris, where the girl was sent
to a boarding school, and her mother
married the young French lieutenant.

Grounded Liner Is Safe
Unless New Storm Comes
Coast Guard Cutter Ready to |
Take Off Princess Anne Crew
in Case of Necessity
The Old Dominion liner Princess
Anne, still aground off Rockaway Point,
was reported last night as being in no
immediate danger. Unless another
storm arises, it is believed the vessel
will be floated within a few days. The
coast guard cutter Rescue is standing
by to take off tho forty-four members
of the crew still aboard should the
Princess Anne start to go to nieces.
Ineffectual efforts were made yester?
day by bte Rescue to get close to the
grounded steamer. It 's now thought
it will be necessary to lighter some
of the cargo before the liner can be
floated. She is riding in about thirteen
feet of water.
Captain Frank Seay of the Princess
Anno is at his home, 275 Halsey Street,
Brooklyn, where, it was said last night,
his condition is improving. His physi?
cians no longer fear he will contract
pneumonia from the exposure he un?
derwent. His knees ar? badly strained,
however, and he will not be able to
move about for some weeks.
88 Gas Victims in 60 Days
Record Poisoning Rate Causes
Copeland to Warn Consumers ;
A total of eighty-eight cases of gas
poisoning in the last sixty days, a pro?
portion considerably higher than the
average figure, many of which have
resulted in fatalities, caused Commis?
sioner Copeland of the Health Depart?
ment yesterday to issue a warning to
all gas consumers in the city.
According to Dr. Copeland, fully 50
per cent of the cases are traceable to
faulty connections and leaky rubber
tubing, and therefore preventable.
Leaky gas stoves were responsible for
ten cases of the eighty-eight reported,
while low pressure, which allowed a
flame turned low to become extin?
guished, was assigned as the cause in
eight cases.
Dr. Copeland said a proposed ordin?
ance calling for an improved quality
of tubing had been up before the Board
ofy Aldermen for several years, but
that for some reason it has not been
passed.

Good morning!
This is February 9 !
The weather to-day will
probably be fair.
In the Early Days
of Newspaperdom
it used to be said and generally be?
lieved
"That which is printed
must be true"
That vivid questions were settled
decisively when printed by author?
ity of an editor or publisher.
When the early to rise and late
to rest system of storekeeping and
the days of apprentices existed,
and the lads leaned over counters
all day and lay down under them
to sleep at nights, there was little
or no advertising. Merchandise
was shown on pavement counters
and outdoors to make its own ap?
peal to the public, presenting a
daily solicitation somewhat like
this:
"Wanted because It may be
bought;
Bought because it may be
wanted."
Nowadays, half of the daily
newspapers, notwithstanding the
high cost of white paper, are
given up to the most extravagant
and costly pages, single and
double, of pictured broadsides,
regardless of expense.
The question of the high cost
of advertisements, and whether it
is worth what it costs, is a live
topic with merchants.
The people are coming to know
that there are always under the
roofs of these big, central buildings
the largest and freshest assortments
in the city, whether we so advertise
or not.

It was not our intention.to include the BELMAISON reproductions in tfe
February Sale of Furniture. This was so stated. And the reason for it was that
BELMAISON type of furniture is so difficult to procure in sufficient quantity to
meet the demand. It is made for us?faithful reproductions of the best work of old
master craftsmen by today's master workmen of America. Reproductions, not only
of line, but of that good workmanship which made the old pieces famous. #
BUT?excluding BELMAISON furniture has led to some confusion in the mind
of the public. They took it for granted that ALL the home furniture in the New
Building was reduced and included in the February Sale.
Therefore, beginning today, we mark the hundreds
of Belmaison reproductions at a lower price?
and include them in the February Sale
PLEASE NOTE?The antique pieces of furniture in BELMAISON are not included in the Sale.
BELMAISON reproductions include chairs, tables, benches, lounges, cabinets,
beds, desks, secretaries?all pieces that go to make up the perfect home. The follow?
