Magistrate Sims Scores thej
Authorities for Failure to i
Locate Persons Who Dis-;
pense 'Embalming Fluid'j
Alcoholism on Increase
Manager of Reisenweber's,
Facing Trial, Denies Cafe
Has Violated Ordinance
"It is high time for New York to
?have prohibition or no prohibition,"
said Magistrate Charles E. Sims, after
he had imposed a number of fines in
the Jefferson Market Court yesterday
in cases which testified, to the hign
voltage of the stimulants now being
consumed in violation of the Volstead
act.
"You go on drinking this whisky,
which isn't whisky but embalming
fluid," said the magistrate severely to a
disconsolate and suffering henchful,
"in spite of all the warning that is
afforded by stories of earlier victims.
It should be possible to find out the
places that dispense this stuff and to
make those who sell it pay the penalty.
What is more, when so many are get?
ting the stuff, it should be possible
for inspectors to get it if they want
to with a view to bringing the guilty
to justice."
Two Women Prisoners
Among the prisoners fined by Magis?
trate Sims were a woman employed in
a downtown business house, whe did j
not kjiow what happened between the ,
time she took two drinks and the time ,
when police found her in a stupor in a j
Greenwich Village hallway; a woman ?
clerk, in a similar condition, and n i
man calling himself Frank Hayes, a :
St. Louis broker, whom Patrolman '
Robert Grossman found unconscious j
on the sidewalk at Sixth Avenue and j
Twenty-fifth Street, with $2,400 in his j
pockets. %
That intoxication on only two or :
three drinks was becoming quite com- ?
mon was evident also in the Essex ]
Market court, Magistrate Thomas J. ,
Nolan said after hearing Mrs. Charles ?
Booth, of 827 Cherry Street, testify I
against her husband. Booth was re- j
mantled for sentence to-day after be- I
ing found guilty of disorderly conduct. !
Mrs. Booth told Magistrate Nolan |
that her husband had been getting j
violently drunk regularly for a con
siderable time. "You say quite a time; '
how long a time ?" she was asked, and ;
replied: "About a year."
"In other words," he inquired, "you '
mean since prohibition went into ef?
fect, and your husband, who used to
be content with a glass of beer, now j
comes home raving after one or two I
drinks of this poison they call whisky;
?3 that it?" Mrs. Booth nodded assent.
Turning to attach?s of the court,
Magistrate Nolan intimated that such
testimony was not surprising, and that :
there was not a statement of prohibi?
tion benefits issued by hospitals, dry
enthusiasts or police which should not
be carefully scrutinized before accept?
ance.
Deaths of Weekly Occurrence
The statement that cases of acute
alcoholism were growing worse was
borne out yesterday by Peter Prender
ville, of the Police Identification Bu?
reau. He said there were deaths from
that cause every week.
At Reisenweber's Restaurant, Eighth
Avenue and Fifty-eighth Street, danc?
ing continued after the police arrested :
Patrick V. Kyne, the manager, early;
yesterday for refusing to obey instruc- i
tions to close at 1 a. m. It will con-!
tlnue daily after 1 o'clock, it was in- j
timated yesterday at the restaurant,!
en the assumption that there is no ?
ordinance to prohibit it and that else- j
where cabarets and ballroom hilarity j
have been unmolested.
It was said also that the restaurant
might take action against the city if
the decision *of Samuel M. Hitchcock,
United States Commissioner, is not ad-'
rerse to Kyne, who is charged with
maintaining a public nuisance. Charles
Gallagher, a clerk, of 6o(? Tenth Ave- j
nue, and Fred Ullman, head waiter, of j
Reisenweber's, living at 975 Intervale
Avenue, and George Decoo, a waiter, of
62 Nineteenth Street. Elmhurst. L. I., ?
were arrested with Kyne and charged
with violation of the Volstead act.
Th?*'r cases will be heard to-day.
Their defense rests on the unique
contention that a quart bottle of
whisky offered as evidence by Police
Inspector Boettler's assistants, Lieu?
tenant Rigney and Detective Moog, of
the West Sixty-eighth Street station,
was not sold to them for $22, as they
declared, but was brought into the
restaurant by them with the express
intention of using it in making an
arrest.
Kyne contradicted the detectives* as?
sertion that they had been served with
highballs, and said thnt food and soft
drinks were the whole of his bill of
fare, whether for regular customers,
police or patrons who winked.

Miss Thayer Is Found
As 500 Search for Her
Becomes Lost in Snowstorm Af?
ter Wandering From Massa?
chusetts Sanitarium
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
BOSTON, Jan. 16.?Miss Eleanor A.
Thayer, who disappeared this morning
from Riggs's Sanatorium at Stock
bridge, Mass., during the worst snow?
storm of the winter and who was be?
lieved to have lost her way in the
mountains near that placo, hes been
found, according to word received at
the girl's home here to-night.
According to Mrs. Ezra R. Thayer, of
this city, the girl's mother, she went to
walk in the woods and became lost.
More than 500 men and Boy Scouts
aided in the search for the girl as soon
as her absence was discovered. Mrs.
Thnyer explained that her daughter had
been at the sanatorium about six weeks
recuperating from a nervous break?
down. Her mother is the widow of Pro?
fessor Ezra R. Thayer, former dean of
the Harvard Law School, who commit?
ted suicide by drowning in September,
1915. His body was found floating in
the Charles River in the rear of his
home, on Bay State Road.

Dr. Crafts Decries
Waste of Money in
Fighting Dry Law
Blue Sunday Advocate Says
Sums SpentBuying Liquor
and Resisting Enforce?
ment Would Relieve Idle
The Rev. Wilbur Fisk Crafts, Sunday
blue law advocate and superintendent
of the International Reform Bureau, of
Washington, conducted a forum on labor
and liquor at Labor Temple, last night,
first anniversary of the establishment
of constitutional prohibition.
Dr. Craft's topic was "The Relation
of Booze and Bootlegger to Unemploy?
ment." After reviewing the early per?
iod of(tho fight for prohibition, begin?
ning in 1876, he read testimonials from
workingmen and employers in Western
states, which went dry before the eigh?
teenth Amendment was adopted, and
continued:
"The unemployment situation right
now would be eased if the considerable
capital used to nullify prohibition were
devoted to legitimate lines of business.
One effect would be to increase the pur?
chase of useful goods by those now in
part responsible for under production
in that they buy fewer useful articles
because they buy so much costly drink.
"Think of the amount of public works
that could be undertaken, to give em?
ployment to men out of work, if all the
money that is being spent on enforce?
ment of prohibition could be diverted to
this purpose: $1.000,000 in the one mat?
ter of guarding the whisky; the amount
asked for enforcement next year, $7,
500,000, and twice as much more is ex?
pected from the expenditure in fines.
All this, if the people would strongly
insist on obedience to law, might be
turned into useful channels and obliter?
ate much, if not all, of the problems of
unemployment.
"Here in New York City, wheo I was
a pastor, a bum was converted in one
of the missions. He was s-ion at work,
and with cleared brain conceived the
adventure of selling his cast off suit
of boozing rags among the old clothes
men in order to contrast his old master
with the new. He went to one shop and
another, but could get no better cffei
than 7 cents.
"'That,' he said, as he told the story
merrily to a mission, 'is what the devii
and drink bring you to?7-cent units.'
"It makes a great difference to cloth?
ing makers and clothing sellers and
clothing carriers and everybody the*,
trade with, whether people wear 7-cenl
suits or $37 or $57 dollar suits. Th?
mofal and patriotic and religious gain;
are vastly greater."
Builders Urged
To Discontinue
Practice Codes
Trades Association Asks the
Elimination of Parts That
Might Cause Criticism in
Light of Recent Inquiry
New Brindell MoVe To-day
Littleton Is Expected to
Charge Indictment Error ;
Untermyer Plans Fight
Members of the Building Trades Em?
ployers' Association have been asked
to discontinue any code-of-practice
scheme, such as was shown to have
existed in testimony relating to John
T. Hettrick brought out before the Lock
wood committee in its investigation of
the housing situation, according to an
announcement made yesterday by Sam?
uel B. Donnelly, secretary of the as?
sociation. The announcement was pub?
lished in the Real Estate Record and
Builders' Guide.
Mr. Donnelly asserts that "during
the present investigation it has not
been shown that any member of the as?
sociation ever paid or offered graft to
a business agent."
Asked to Submit Codes
All member? are asked by Mr. Don?
nelly to submit any code of practice
to the board of governors. The state?
ment says:
"During the state investigation it
has been shown that some of the trade
organizations have adopted certain
regulations under the name of 'Code
of Ethics' or 'Code of Practice.' The
Building Trades Employers' Associa?
tion has been accused of neglecting its
duty in that it has made no effort to
restrain its trade associations. While
the association has had no part in
these alleged combinations, your ex?
ecutive committee fully realizes that
the association is held to some extent
responsible by the public for the con?
duct of the, trade organizations. The
executive c?'Yimitteo of the board of
governors, therefore, requests you to
: carefully examine the constitution and
by-laws of your associations and elimi?
nate therefrom any provision that, in
the light of the recent investigation,
might render you subject to criticism.
"If you have adopted a 'code of
ethics' or 'code of practice,' you are re?
quested to discontinue the same unless
you feel that you are acting abso?
lutely within your legal rights, and, if
so, please submit such 'code of ethics'
or 'code of practice* through your rep?
resentatives on the board of governors
to the board at its next regular meet?
ing."
Mr. Hettrick, who was among those
indicted as a result of the Lockwood
committee's disclosures, was charged
with being the originator of the code
of practice between the heads of the
unions and contractors.
Brindell Trial Resumes To-day
Important developments are expected
at the resumption to-day before Justice
McAvoy in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court of the trial of Robert
P. Brindell, head of the Building Trades
Council.
When the case was adjourned last
Thursday hints were made by M?rtir
W. Littleton, counsel for Brindell, ol
the existence of an error in the in?
dictment of which the defense wouk
attempt to take advantage. It is under?
stood that Samuel Untermyer, chiej
prosecutor, and also chief counsel foi
the Lockwood committee, ha3 pr?par?e
to combat any plan to delay the cast
on the ground of alleged error. Brin
dell is charged specifically with havinf
extorted $5.000 from Max Aronson it
return for calling off a strike orderet
on construction work at 229 Wes
Thirty-sixth Street. Mr. Untermye:
obtained a ruling from the court per
mitting him to attempt to show tha
the alleged extortion against Aronsoi
was part of an organized system o
extortion.
Bedtime Stories
Ilcddy- Gets the Worst of a Fight
By Thornton W. Burgess
Pray, before you pick a fight,
Be very sure that you are right.
?Reddy Fox.
Down on the snow-covered Green
| Meadows ran Reddy Fox. He ran
! swiftly. The snow was well packed ]
! and he didn't break through. This made j
I easy running. Reddy was in a great
, hurry. He had just watched Whitey
the Snowy Owl from the Far North
boldly steal a fat hen from Farmer
Brown's ftenyard and fly away with it.,
Whitey had flown only far enough to
feel quite safe, then had dropped down
to the snow to cat that fat hen. You
see, he was so hungry that he couldn't
wait to go any further,.
As he ran Reddy kept his eyes fixed
on Whitey. He saw that Whitey wasn't
so greedy that he was forgetful of pos?
sible danger. Every half minute or
so he would straighten up and turn
his round head this way and turn it
that way to make sure that all was
I well. Then he would ?resume eating.
Rrddy's mouth watered as he ran. He
didn't know just what he whs going to
do when he got there, but ho hoped to
get a share of that fat hen. It was a
big hen, a fat hen. Perhaps it was
more than White..' could eat at one
: meal, and he would be generous enough
! to give part to a poor, hungry Fox. If
j he wouldn't be generous, perhups there
would be some way to tuke a share
away from him. The ono thing that
? worried Reddy was the fear that
j Whitey would see him coming and fly
! away with what remained of that fat
I hen.
Every time Whitey straightened up
j for a look around, Reddy stopped and
?stood perfectly still. He "froze," as
Peter Rabbit had done when he first
saw Whitey. The instant Whitey be?
gan eating again, Reddy started on as
fast as possible. And so it was that
Reddy almost reached" Whitey before
the latter saw him. The snow was
covered with feathers, and there was
not much of that fat hen left. But
: there was a little, and the sight of that
; little made Reddy reckless.
"I'll have that if I have to fight for
it," muttered Reddy.
! Whitey had discovered him now and
fnced about. His yellow eyes blazed?
There was no trace of fear in them.
It was plain that he didn't intend to
fly away and leave what remained of
: that fat hen. He hissed angrily, and
no snapped his bill in a way that gave
i Reddy a most uncomfortable feeling.
Now, Reddy la crafty, lie had no in?
tention of fighting if he could help it.
' 'Good morning, stranger," ?aid he po?
litely, grinning as only Reddy can grin,
"I see you have Rood eating this morn
ing. You are lucky to have such a
; linu meal these hard time?. If you have
i more than you want, 1 beg you to take
? Pity on a poor starving Fox who has
; been most unlucky in his hunting."
"Run on and catch vour own din?
ner! there-? nothing for you here,"
"Good morning, stranger," said he
politely, grinning as only
Ready can grin
hissed Whitey, snapping his bill more
than ever.
It popped into Reddy's head that what
was left of that fat hen wouldn't
amount to much in the way of a meal,
but that Whitey himself would make a
very good meal. He looked big and
plump. What Reddy didn't know was
that Whitcy's coat was so very thick
that it made him appear very much
bigger than he really was.
Reddy began to run in a circle around
Whitey. He meant to makeWhitey keep
tinning until he was dizzy or confused.
But Whitey didn't turn his body at all.
Only his head turned. Those fierce yel?
low eyes would follow Reddy around
until Whitey was looking straight be?
hind him. Then so quickly that Reddy
could hardly see the motion, that head
would snap around the other way and
continue to keep those eyes fixed on
Roddy.
At last Reddy lost patience. Whitey
didn't look so dangerous. Watching
his chance, Reddy sprang. He intended
to land on Whitey s back. He didn't.
Mo, sir, he didn't. He landed on eight
?tout curved claws, and each one of
them tore his coat. At the same time
stout wings pounded him as he never
hat! been pounded before; and that
hooked bill tore his fnec. Vou see,
Whitey had thrown himself on his hack,
und with claws, wings and bill nil busy
nt the same time he gave Reddy no
chance to roach him with his sharp
teeth, In half a minute Reddy's whole
desire was to get away. There was no
fight left in him.

Police Seek Woman Who|
Disappeared Mysteriously j
Mrs. Ella Berentsen Missing
From Home After Return
From Sanatorium
Mrs. Ella Berentsen, forty-one years
old, wife of Richard R. Berentsen, an I
executive of the Smith Carpet Com- j
pany of Yonkers, living at 239 Primrose j
Avenue, Mount Vernon, disappeared
from her home last Saturday night and i
is being sought by the police in New j
York and nearby cities.
Mrs. Berentsen, who had been In a pri- ?
vate sanatorium suffering of a nervous ]
breakdown, had gone home Saturday to ?
see her two sons, five and eleven years !
old, who had returned from a visit with '.
relatives at Cambridge, Mass. ,At 9!
o'clock Mrs. Berentsen retired, accom- !
panied by her two maids. An hour:
later her husband, on looking into her
room, found it empty. Some clothing
and a handbag were gone. Mr. Berent?
sen notified Chief of Police George G.
Atwell, of Mount Vernon. who* sent out
a confidential alarm. As no trace of the
woman was found the Missing Persons
Bureau In New York was notified last
night and a general alarm sent out.
Mrs. Berentsen is described as five
feet six inches tall, weight 165 pounds,
brown eyes and hair, prominent nose,
round chin, large ears, good teeth and
fair complexion. She wore a sealskin
coat trimmed with beaver, a brown
velvet waist trimmed with satin and
lace, a large picture hat, white wool
sweater, brown stockings and shoes and
tan gloves. She had a small gold
watch and an antique lavender-colored
breastpin, and carried a brown Glad?
stone bag.
According to Mr. Berentsen, his wife
may be traveling under her maiden
name, Free. She was widely enough
known at leading New York hotels.
She could obtain living accommoda?
tions without advance payment and
might even obtain money from the
desk.
Girl, 16, Goes on
Sympathy Fast for
Europe's Starving
Will Restrict Diet Until Mo?
tion Picture Day, Jan. 26;
Urges Other Children to
Join to Arouse Interest
A sympathy fast in behalf of the
starving children of Europe has been
declared by Mary Schaefer, of 713
Amsterdam Avenue, a sixteen-year-old
school girl, who has determined not
to satisfy her hunger until January
26, on which day 10,000 motion picture
theaters throughout the country will
be forums for picturing the need of
European child relief. I
Mary has dedicated her sympathy ;
fast enterprise to the Greater New
York Committee for Motion Picture
Day, of which S. L. Rothafel is chair?
man, because she is a loyal picture
admirer. She suggests that In every
other large center some boy or girl
join her in arousing sympathy and in?
terest in the starving children by fast?
ing until Motion Picture Day. Mary is
robust and healthy and blessed with a
good appetite. She has rosy cheeks
and bright eyes. But she is not con?
tent with having plenty to eat while
others are starving. She has not de?
cided what she will do when she be?
comes too hungry to bear it. "Just
what do the little' children in Europe
do when they can't bear it?" is Mary's*
counter question.
Mary likes dancing, too, but she says
she will not dance for a while. She
believes the little children in Europe
are not doing much dancing.
"I'll try reading, perhaps, when I
get hungry," she suggested as an af?
ter thought. "Lots of times I've for?
gotten to go to a meal when I've been
reading a good book. Maybe that will
work this time when I get real
hungry."
The inspiration for Mary's fast came !
when she read how Herbert Hoover and
General Pershing were hosts at a din- !
ner in New York, -where everybody ate
dry bread, rice and cocoa, which has
been paid for at $1,000 a plate, the
proceeds going to European child re- ,
lief.
Mary decided that she would get !
along on that simple fare until every?
body had been reminded to help con- ,
tribute all they could toward the $33,- j
000,000 fund that is needed.
Mary's parents have decided to let
their daughter proceed with her plan.
Meantime Mary herself is much in?
terested in the -outcome Motion Pic?
ture Day, January 20, when speeches '
arc to be made in the theaters and
people are to be urged to buy the 50
ccnt tickets, to be given to orphans
nnad school children to attend the
special matinees which will be given
on the morning of Saturday. January ,
29, as the motion picture industry's '.
big contribution to the cause. Her
hope is that the industry will raise
the $2,500,000 it has set as a goal. If ;
it doesn't reach that amount it will |
not be because of any failure on the ,
part of Mary, who weighs 123 now. \
but doesn't care how many pounds she
loses in such a good cause.

Pastor Denies America
Gives Personal Freedom
No Such Thing Under Our Re?
public, Says Dr. Burrell, in |
Defending Blue Laws
A defense of Sunday blue laws was !
voiced from the pulpit of the Marble
i Collegiate Church yesterday by its
j pastor, the Rev. David James Burrell. i
j Dr. Burrell said the topic had been j
' suggested by a letter from a university |
', professor, who wrote asking for infor- j
mation on the subject.
"The professor appealed to me," said ;
; the preacher, "because he thought that i
; I, as president of the Anti-Saloon i
! League and as a director of the Lord's
| Day Alliance, ought to know about it
; if any one did.
"To the lawless all laws are blue.
j All thnt can be brought against the so
! enlled blue law? can be brought against
the Ten Commandments as a whole.
"It cannot bo too strongly empha?
sized that there is no such thing as
personal freedom in our Republic. Our
foreign citizens must be told of this
nnd educated into the spirit of our
laws. You cannot drink if by drinking
you hurt the man next to you. You j
cannot make n noise on Sunday if you ;
destroy the right to worship, given all
men. This ia because we live in a
republic, u government by the people.
You may not believe in prohibition or
the Sabbath law, but it does not follow
that you have a right to deride the law.
"Our magistrates are largely respon?
sible for the carnival of crime to-day.
Tho press is also responsible. The
papers nre fond of saying they make
public opinion. So be it; but they tench
their readers absolutely to break the
law. Not only are they advising, they
are encouraging the breaking of laws/'

"Any Luck?"
is the salutation and query of
one fishing-boat to another, hail?
ing each other as they pass.
There is a lot of good nature
in the world, as well as informa?
tion, that can be brought out by
a smile and cheery word as we
pass along.
Just try it and see for your?
selves. Some men, who can
make fine public speeches from
a forum desjc, a ftulpit or plat?
form, are so offish after a public
performance that in private they
lose the benefit of the charm
they wore in the large assem?
blage by a brilliant address.
If men were to get nearer to
each other and practice good fel?
lowship even moderately, this
would be a happier world to live
in. It would not cost much to
try it.
