iLegiois Denounces Syslem
That Puts. Men in Gas?
VTilli Charity Patients
Charges by an investigating commit?
tee of thg American Legion that the
Manhattan State Hospital, on Ward's
Island, is making a profit of approxl
mately $200 a *oay through the treat
ment of 200 insane soldier veterans
were admitted yesterday by Dr. M. B.
Keyman, superintendent of the institu?
tion. Further charges that the state
!s caring for the insane veterans at the
Manhattan Hospital at an approximate
cost of $1 a day, although the state is
allowed $2 a day by the government
for their care, were also admitted as
true by Dr. Heyman.
Dr. Heyman, when Jnformed of the
report returned by the American Le?
gion committee, which was headed by
William F. Deegan, first vice-president
of the Department of New York. said:
"Yes, it costs the state approximate
!y Sl a day to care for each of the 200
insane soldiers at this hospital. They
are very troublesome patients and need
?xtra attendants and special diets and
care. This institution has nothing to
do with fixing the rates for treatment:
such rate? are flxed by the state, and
?he fee raid by the government goes to
the state.
6,500 Patients at Hospital
''We have 6,500 patients out here to
care for and these soldiers do not re
ceive the individual attention they
would receive in a hospital maintained
especially for them. We are doing our
best and, I believe, are succeeding as
well as any other hospital in the coun?
try. We have more insane soldier vet?
erans here than any other institution,
1 believe. It is true that some of these
vet-erans are being kept in wards as
signed to civilian patients, but that
does not alter the attention in the
least. I know there is much agitation
for better conditions for these soldiers,
and I think it would be the best thing
for the government to care for them
personally. instead of having the state
do it. I personally advocate such a
btop."
Mr. Deegan. chairman of the Ameri?
can Legion committee composed of Ed?
ward Kiley, Queens County chairman,
; nd RicharJ Beli. director of the state
service department. after a visit to the
Manhattan Hospital, made the follow
ing report:
"The most serious condition we
found was that these veterans are be?
ing cared for like common charity pa?
tients of th-e state when they should
be receiving special treatment. The
hospital is not equipped to deal with
cases which have resulted directly
from war cnuses. Moreover, no one
can tell me that it is a good thing to
have these young men in an institution
where they mingle with the insane who
have lost all hope.
Object to State's Profit
"We also object to the state taking
$2 a day for the care of these men
and only expending approximately 90
cents a day for their maintenance.
The lesult is they receive food which,
though wliolesome enough, is not care
fuliy prepared. The committee found
that tbe potatoes served to the men
were only half peeled and the 'eyes'
were not taken out. The spinach was
served with the roots on. The food
poes to the table cold. The reason
the food is cold is because the natients
are haused in emergency buildings
.-ri.-cted by the navy during the war,
a~id these buildings are far from the
ki*.cl?eh. The government is primarily
to blame. It should have built specia:
hospitals far these men instead of
'passing the buck' to the state institu
tious which are already crowded."
While tbe Manhattan State Hospital
was the first to be investigated by the
1 egion committee, it ? was said last
r.ight that the investigation would be
eurried on in other state institutions.
A complaint made by Jacob Felbel, an
attorney with offices at 374 Broadway,
that he had delivered a huge basket of
candy to the disabled veterans at the
Polyclinic Hospital, at 345 West Fif
tieth Street, and that the candy had
never reached tha soldier veterans, is
also to be investigated, it is said.
Delivered Gift in Person
According to a statement made yes?
terday by Mr. Felbel, the basket of
candy, which waa won at a bazar for
the beneftt of the wounded soldiers,
was taken by hlmself to the institu?
tion on May 19. An employee, Mr.
Felbel declared. took the basket of
candy and card bearing the inscription
"For the disabled soldier boys" and
promised to deliver it.
.After ascertaining that the candy had
not reached tha disabled soldiers Mr,
Felbel took the matter up with Dr. W,
D. Heaton, executive omcer at the hos?
pital, and an investigation followed.
On June 7 Mr. Felbel received a com
munication from Dr. Heaton, in which
it was stated that an inveBtigation con
ducted under his personal guidance had
failed to throw any ]isht on the matter.

The Board of Estimate, at Its meet?
ing yesterday, pursuant to a sugges
tion by Corporation Counsel O'Brien
adopted a resolution to pay the 105
employees of the new Transit Com?
mission who were transferred from the
old Public Service Commission. The
action of the board was taken pending
the decision of the courts jon tha con?
stitutionality of the act of the Legis?
lature creating the Transit Commis?

the city for the money expended.
The 105 employees have not been
paid since the new commission took
offlce, April 26. Comptroller Craig re?

new commission in respect to these
employees, and gave it as his opinion
that the employees 6hould be paid out
ot Btate funds and not by the city.
Mandamus proceedings brought by the

Famine Barks in Coney's Wake
As Frankfurter Makers Strike
10 Hours Too Long, $37 a Week Too Little for Their
Art, Say Stuffers of Familiar but Ever-Mysterious
Refeclion, Solaee of Bleacher and Boardwalk
A general strike became effective
yesterday in the frankfurter industry
in this city which, it ia believcd. will
spread want and famine in Concy
Island. Hot dogs are dclicate crea
tures and ago rapidly. The strikers
are confldent that when to-day's sup?
ply is exhausted the red-hot man will
have to get a job with the Weather
Bureau or some other place where hia
cry of "Here y'are! Red hot! Red
hot!" will cause no mouths to water.
The strike was decided upon at a
moeting of Butchers' Unions 174 and
1211, whosc members include virtually
all of the adepts convcrsant with the
inner mysteries of the hot dog in this
city. The meeting was held at Brook?
lyn Labor Lyccum, 949 \Villoughby
Avenue. Fifteen hundred bologna
makers and frankfurter stuffers are
involved.
The decision to strike followed in
effectual attempts to adjust a dispute
ctiused by the announcement of the
Meat Packers' Association of New York
that frankfurter men's -\vages would be
reduced from $44 and $41 a week to
$37 and $34 and their hours increased
from eight hours a day to ten.
Conferences between representatives
of the parties to the dispute were held
all day Wednesday. They could come
to no agreement. The meat packers in
sisted that they and the hot dog could
survive only if hours were lengthened
nnd pay rolls shortened. The frank?
furter stuffers asserted that they
would stiiff frankfurters eight hours a
duy and not a minute longer, nor would
they take a penny's reduction in their
pay.
Tl;ey regard themselves as the true
scientists of the meat packing business,
synthetic. chemiats. securc in their posi
tion by reuson of the recondite knowl
edge of the structure nnd anatomy of
the hot dojr which they alone poss,ess.
Their confidcnce of success is based
upon knowledge of their power. No
amntcur, they assert, could turn out a
genuine hot dog even though he worked
with text books at his elbow and devot
cd an entire ten-hour day to the task.
A hot dog to the professional frank?
furter stuffer is art of the highest
type. lt savora of the poetical, but no
more poet ever achieved one; its har
mony is as delicate and definite as that
of the composition of a supreme com
poser. but no mere musician ever
stuffed a perfect frankfurter; the crea
tive vision and precision of tha painter
are required in the eflicient stuffer of
hot dogs, but the painter would be help
less with the implements of the master
stuffer at his hand.
With their very art nnd science in
peril, the frankfurter men are deter
mined to fight ruthlessly, even though
Coney Island starve.
Red Tape Tangle
May Cost Clerk His
Peusiou Till 1923
Ruling Depriving Veteran
Posloffice Employee of
$1,227 Because He Held
Job Too Lone Protested
Andrew Crow, a veteran employee of
the Postoffice, is facing the prospect of
eighteen months without income as a
result of a tangle in the red tape that
winds through the Bureau of Pensions
in Washington. Mr. Crow worked eight
months after the day on which he be
came sixty-five years old, in compliance
with a ruling which made special clerks
exempt from the law that clerks must
retire at that age. Last April he was
informed that the ruling had been
changed and that he must retire.
Recently, however, he received a let
ter from the Bureau of Pensions stat
ing that, inasmuch as he has been paid
$1,227.84 for his services during eight
I months when he should have been re
1 tired, he must forfeit that pay; in
other words, the amount will be de
ducted from his pension (which is $60
a month), and so he will receive no in?
come until February, 1923.
Mr. Crow* said last night there were
many other victims of the same ruling
and that their concerted efforts were
being directed to have a special act of
Congress enacted to restore to them at
least the amount of their pension for
the period of their work.
Meantime Mrs. Crow is maintaining
the little home at 974 Anderson Ave
nua by renting rooms.
"You can't sell Liberty bonds these
days at an advantage," she said. "It's
pretty hard on a patriotic citizen to
work for the government thirty-three
years and buy bonds with his savings,
only to have nothing to show for it.
My husband would be glad to work. He
is strong and well. He walked the other
day from 161st Street to Tenth Avenue
and Eighth Street, looking for work."

Cuts $20,000 Award for Loss
Of Child's Eye to $12,150
The Appellate Division yesterday de?
cided that a verdict for $20,000 ren
dered in favor of Henry Yost jr., an
infant, against the Third Avenue Rail?
road Company for the loss of an eye
should be reduced to $12,000 and $150
for'costs. The Yost boy, on April 14,
1917, was being carried across Third
Avenue, between 104th and 105th
streets, when a steel splinter from a
drill being used by employees of the
railror^a company entered the child's
left eye and destroyed the sight.
Stage Folk Friends
Of "Flo" Flee From
Stillman Publicity
Process Server9 Baffled in
Hunt for Witnesses; Mrs.
Leeds Declared Now in
New York in Disguise
Announcement several days ago that
women of society and the stage would
; be summoned by Mrs. James A. Still?
man in her defense against her hus
band's divorce action has resultcd in
thfl disnppearance of n number of stage
folk who have been known as former
associates of Mrs. Florence Leeds,
named by Mrs. Stillman ag co-respon
dent, according to process servers, who
have been active yesterday and to-day.
The singer known as "Irene," said
to be an important witness for Mrs.
Stillman and known as a former close
friend of Mrs. Leeds, is declared to
have had three Yale locks and a heavy
chain placed on the door* of her apart?
ment. Hall porters invariably insist
that Irene is "not at home."
Mrs. Fannie Glidden, known as a
close friend of Mrs. Leeds when she
was a member of the Century Roof
production, and who is said to be ad
dressed by Mrs. Leeds as "Auntie," was
declared yesterday to be Mrs. Still?
man'? principal witness in the Leeds
matter. Mrs. Glidden has been living
in an apartment near 184th Street and
Wadsworth Avenue. On the door of
this apartment yesterday visitors found
a chain lock.
Recent movements of Mrs. Leeds,
who is now in New York with her baby
son, are said to have been traced by
detectives for Mrs. Stillman, who, it is
declared, wishes to call Mrs. Leeds as
a witness so that she may be cross
examined by John E. Mack, guardian
of Guy Stillman, as to her relations
with Stillman.
John E, Brennan, chief counsel for
Mrs. Stillman, said yesterday that Mrs.
Leeds had been found some time ago In
Stockbridge, Mass., where she spent
several weeks after leaving Miami, Fla.
From Stockbridge, Mr. Brennan said,
Mrs. Leeds went to Boston, registering
there at the Copley Plaza Hotel on
June 1 under an assumed name.
On June 2 Mrs. Leeds came to New
York with Mr3. Glidden, according to
the lawyer, arriving here on a Fall
River steamer. Trace of her was lost
when she left the dock at West and
Murray streets. The investigator
shadowing Mrs. Leeds said she had
been wearing a dark wig for some
weeks.
Bedtime Stories
King Eagle's Story
By Thornton W. Burgess
A moment's carelessness may end
What all of time may never mend.
?King Eagle.
"Tell us about the Man who started
the Red Terror on the Great Moun
tain," beggod Bobby Coon of King
Eagle, sitting on a branch of a tall,
dead tree near the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. "Why did he do such a
dreadful thing? Those two-legged
craaturea called Men are the most
awful creatures. They do the worst
things. Every fall they hunt me,
when I haven't done a thing to them.
And they seem to think it is fun to
try to kill me."
"Yes, and some of them set traps,
and that is the most unfair thing I
know of," spoke up Biliy Mink.
"Farmer Brown s Boy doesn't and
be doesn't let anybody else do either
of those things if he can help it,"
spoke up Chatterer the Red Squir
rel. "I don't believe he would start
the Red Terror. Did that man do it
purposely, King Eagle?"
"I don't think he did," replied King
Eagle, shaking his snowy-white head?
"But it is just as bad. I was sailing
round and rojind way up in the air
above the Great Mountain. You know
I have very good eyes"
"Wonderful eyes," interrupted Sam
my Jay.
"And I Baw a man way down near
the foot of the Great Mountain," con
tinued King Eagle, just as if he hadn't
been interrupted. "He was walking
along u little path. By and by he
stopped and put something in his
mouth and then he took a tiny stick
and struck the end of it on a stone
and the Red Terror sprang up on the
end of that tiny stick and he touched
.the thing in his mouth with the Red
Terror. Then he threw the tiny stick
down in the path and didn't once look
to see where it fell. I guess ha
thought |here was no longer any, Red
Terror on the end of that tiny stick.
"But he didn't look to see. He
didn't even look to see where that
tiny stick fell. But I saw where it
fell. lt fell in some dry leaves. A
few minutes later 1 saw .he breatb
of the Red Terror rising ."rora thos<
leaves and then the Red Terror itself
It ate up those leaves and ther
jumped to the leaves beside the path
It ate faster and faster and the fast
er it ate the greater the Red Terror
grew. It began to climb the trees,
and in a short time it was racing up
the Bide of the Great Mountain as
fast as Lightfoot the Deer can run.
"It \\ns then that th* Man discov
"Tell us about the man who started
the Red Terror on the Great
Mountain," begged Bobby Coon
ered it. I saw him stop and look be
hind him. Then he began to run, and
he ran away from the Red Terror, al?
though the Red Terror was not run
ning toward him, He ran as if he
wanted to get away froin there with?
out being seen by other Men. I know,
for I saw it all, looking down from
high up in the sky. He didn't set the
Red Terror free purposely. I know
that, too, for 1 saw it. lt was care
lessness. And now the whole beau
tiful side of my, Great Mountain is
tcrrible to look at. All the treos and
the bushes and the vines and the
plants that grew beneath them are
gone and so are many of the little
people who lived there and could not
get away. And Man did this thing!"
King Eagle's always fierce-looking
eyes were terriblo to see.
"But other trees and bushes and
vines and plants will grow there
again. will they not?" asked Bobby
Coon, hopefully.
"In some places where the Red
Terror pijssed hurriedly trees and
bushes and vines and plants may grow
m time. but in othar places the Red
Terror has eaten down into the very
soil and left in it nothing for roots
to feed on, and no tree can ever grow
?&,tra aeai?." replied King Eagle.
'.though my years be manv, I will
never see a big tree on that side of
tbe Great Mountain again, nor will
any one e!so now living. lt Is a mat?
ter for great sndness." He bowed
his handsome white head in sorrow.

Propbet," _ :*-?^
Cohan's "All
Through" Now
"May Never"
Vfanager Less Vcliement in
Declaring He Will Quit
Stage; Says He Wants to
Write Play With Idea
Joking, Equity Asserts
Organizatiou Asks How Pro
ducer Can Be Actors'
Friend and Close Shows
Although on Thursday George M.
Cohan vowed and declared that he was
"through" with the stage he waa less
vehement yesterday when he reflected
his thoughts by saying:
"I may never produce another play."
The stage hands demands for $4 a
pcrformance instead of $3.25 are gen
erally accepted in the theatrical dis?
trict as the most disturbing element
in the situatioa. These figures apply
only to the "grippers," the unskilled
workers who, after the curtain falls,
shift off stage tho cherry trees or the
sewing table at which has been seated
the abused wife while she waited for
her husband to come home. Thus far
the -high priced carpentcrs and elec
tricians have not rriado demands, but
their new scale must be negotiated
before the beginning of the next
season.
"Yes," s=aid Mr. Cohan sadly, "I may
never produce another show. What I'd
like to do would be to write a great
play or comedy or farce?I don't care
what, just so it's great aiul got an idea
in it. It's got to have an idea.
Plays by Formula
"What chance have you got to write
when you hustle down to an office every
morning at 9 o'clock? Yes, I know.
We've served up a lot of shows. Used
the well known formula. You come
down with a scene. Try that out.
When you go home that night you say,
'That was ull right; I'll fatten it up a
L:t.' When you get through, ihe first
act is poor, the second a little bette
and the bang comes in the third net.
That's where you put the joke. No
more of that. I want to get some thing
across with an idea in it."
Mr. Cohan brightened visiblv, say?
ing:
"I poisoned that Equity crowd with
my line about the song and dance men
being the only people who can really
act. Oh. that poisoned 'em. But the
hoofera liked it. I'll bet all those boys
have been going up and down the street
to-day telling how right I am. Those
babies will agree with me about that if
nobody else does."
Equity Replies
The Equity noticed Mr. Cohan's re
marks but as many of the song and
dance men belong to their organiza?
tion they couldn't be quite as tart as
they desired in their reply. How
ever, here is part of it from "the tvpe
wnter of Frank Gilmore, executive
3ecretary of the organization:
"Surely, Mr. Cohan is only trying?
albeit in rather bad taste?to get over
one of those jokes on which he has
made his reputation. For example,
there is his statement that he is the
actor's greatest friend and then?in
the next line?he is going to throw
hundreds of these acjors out of work
by closing up his companies. Mr. Co?
han cannot'throw hundreds of actors
out of work, because his place will im
mediately he filled by other managers;
witness his statement that his theater
leases are most desirable properties.
But, if he could, would it be the part
of the actors' friend to go after the
rank and file of his profession rather
than to make an attack upon tha lead?
ers who, he says, have misled them?
"Another of Mr. Cohan's little jokes
is his remarkable statement that the
only people who can really act are song
and dance artists. We recognize the
high degree of art which has been at
tained by this very talented branch
of the profession, but very few of
these artists themselves would make
such a statement as Mr. Cohan's. It
is a witticism which is apt to be mis
understood by the thousands of dra
matic players who have spent years
studying their art, only to be con
temntuously classed as 'second raters
by this great man."
