Dr. J. B. Teeple Charges |
Wheeler Misrepresented j
Facts to Force Legislation ; j
Alarmed at Restrictions
Industry Is Crippled i
Declares Adequate Supply
Is Vital to Life of Big
Business Enterprises
Vast business enterprises, involving
millions in revenue and certain neces?
saries of modern life, are threatened
with disruption by Federal and state
legislation restricting the production
of alcohol, according to Dr. John B.
Teeple, president of the Chemists Club,
and Charles H. Herty, Ph.D., director
of the American Chemical Society.
Dr. Tceplo goes even further and
asserts that Wayne B. Wheeler, gen?
eral legislative superintendent of the I
Anti-Saloon League, has been guilty of
misrepresentation of facts in attempts
to force prohibition legislation. A cir?
cular issued by the American Chemical
Society reads in part:
"As has been stated at pretest meet?
ings of various sections of the society,
the chemists are urging the needs of
an adequate supply of alcohol as a
solvent and a fuel. They are much
alarmed by the checking of the growth
of tue manufacture of alcohol for
legitimate industrial and medicinal
purposes.
Industry Handicapped
"Owing to the narrow interpretation
of existing laws all forms of industry,
as was shown in recent testimony at
Washington, have been greatly handi?
capped in getting a supply of much
needed alcohol. A recent survey shows
that 53 per cent of the industrial
alcohol plants of the country are being
closed and scrapped. Production fell
from 110,000,000 gallons in 1917 to 56,
000,000 gallons in 1920.
"Although alcohol does not appear as
the final ingredient in thousands, of
products, it has an enormous use in
their manufacture. One artificial silk
company in Virginia uses 10,000 gal?
lons a day. The 'rum demon' is being
censored out of the motion pictures,
yet millions of gallons of alcohol are
used every year in the manufacture of
the celluloid films from which pictures
are projected upon the silver screen.
The situation has become so serious
that film manufacturers are consider?
ing the establishment of their indus?
tries across the Canadian border,
where alcohol can be had with less re?
strictions.
"Alcohol in its pure state is used
in the manufacture of thousands of
medicines. At a recent meeting of the
American Chemical Society in New
York a typewritten list of such reme?
dies was used as a background for the
speakers, lt made a strip sixty feet
in length, although the names of the
remedies were typewritten in single
space.
Plentiful in Germany
"American chemists estimate that in?
dustries of Germany have ten gallons
of alcohol available for every gallon
available to American manufacturers.
"The plea of the American Chemical
Society, as expressed in a resolution
recently adopted by that body, is for
the production of alcohol under such
conditions that it readily can be em?
ployed for heat, light and power, for
the hospital and the laboratory, and
also as a raw material and solvent in
thousands of industrial processes to
the national prosperity."
The letter written by President Tee
pie of the Chemists' Club was sent to
Senator Sterling and other members
of the Senate Judiciary Committee yes?
terday. Dr. Teeple' explained in his
letter that the chemical industries had
been tricked by the Anti-Saloon "paid
lobbyists in Washington." He inclosed
copies of correspondence with Wayne
B. Wheeler, general legislative super?
intendent of the league, to prove his
case. The letter follows in part:
"Yesterday, Mr. Wayne B. Wheeler

Invests Savings for Sick Son
In Rosily Described "'Estate"
Brooklyn Mother, Suspicious When Expected
Wealth Fails to Appear, Has John J. Murthu
Arrested in Her Fight for Operation Money
? John J. Murtha, of 300 West 151st
?Street, who is alleged to have obtained
fere than $9,000 and lived in luxury
for months by giving deeds to property
ta Pittsburgh, which, h? onid, soon
would be ins by inheritance, was held
for further examination on a charge
of grand larceny yesterday in Fifth
Avenue police court, Brooklyn.
He is accused specifically of the
theft of $125 from Mrs. Tekla Clausen,
of 314 Forty-eighth Street, Brooklyn,
which Mrs. Clausen had accumulated
with painful slowness for the purpose
of having an operation performed upon
her son, Eric. Her entire savings are
said to have been obtained by Murtha.
Mrs. Clausen wept as she exhibited
the deeds to shares in the "Mulready
Murtha estate," which wore all she had
to show for her savings and all she had
to rely upon for the operation which
soon must be performed upon her boy.
She is convinced at last that the "Mul
rcady-Murtha estate" exists only in the
imagination of Murtha and his dupes.
Vivid Dream of Biches
For months, however, it was a vivid
reality to her and her husband, who
saw in the mansions, motor cars, mort?
gages and other securities in which
they thought they had a prospective in?
terest not only the best pf medical at?
tention for their boy, but ample pro?
vision for his future, whether the oper?
ation rendered him sound again or not
Lftt? Inst winter, however, Mrs. Clau?
sen began to think it was timo alie ob?
tained something tangible for the more
than fifly deeds Murtha hnd given her
in retorna for "loans." One of these is
for $12,000 cash, with which to build a
home, and another for $lf>,000 in inter?
est .-hearing securities.
With some trepidation she brought
the matter to the attention of the
grandiloquent Martha, who. she said,
Hew into a rage and informed her hotly
that if she wasn't careful he'd pay her
hack the money he had borrowed dollar
for dollar and she would lose her entire
interest in the Mulready-Murtha estate.
That quieted Mrs. Clausen for several
months. Then she broached the sub?
ject again with more confidence, and
Murtha told her loftily that if she had
any doubts concerning his integrity
she had better' consult the District
Attorney.
Others Believed Investors
Mrs. Clausen, desperately fearful
for her savings and the welfare oC her
son, did just that, which was why
Murtha was in police court yesterday.
He was accompanied by a huge Swede,
who ha% been his bodyguard in return
for wages paid in deeds to the "Mul?
ready-Murtha estate." Several others
are said to have lent money on the
strength of such deeds, which were
executed ceremoniously before a notary
public. Among them is n chauffeur
who is said to have placed his motor
car at. the disposal of the heir to the
vast Pittsburgh estate.
Committee at a hearing on the Willis
Campbell bill (the Volstead junior pro?
hibition enforcement bill). I am in?
formed that he read at this hearing
garbled extracts of a letter from me
and tried to give the impression that
this protest of chemists was merely
beer propaganda.
Not Beer Propaganda
"In the name of the American chem?
ists I respectfully protest against any
such insinuations. We are not en?
gaged in propaganda for beer or any?
thing else unless it be for the life of
that large part, of the chemical indus?
try which is based on the use of al?
cohol.
I am enclosing herewith a copy of
Mr. Wheeler's letter to me and of my
reply, from which he pretended to
quote. Please read it carefully and
compare it with Mr. Wheeler's state?
ments regarding its purpose.
"Mr. Wheeler tried this samo trick
before the House Rules Committee.
Why sht\u'.d he try to mislead you?
Why should it be necessary for a paid
reform o to practice deceit in order
to gain his ends ?"

Grand Jury Denounces
Liquor Raids by Police
Kings County Investigators Say
Dry Enforcement' May Lead \
to an Espionage System
High-handed methods employed by j
the police in the enforcement of the
Mullan-Gage prohibition law were
scored yesterday by the Kings County
grand jury in a presentment handed
up to County Judge J. Grattan Mac
Mahon. The presentment followed a
request by Judge MacMahon that the
grand jury investigate this subject.
The presentment follows in full:
"Tho June, 1921, grand jury for
Kings County, after consideration ofj
the large number of arrests brought
to its attention for the violation of
the Mullan-Gage act, desires to ex
press its disapproval of the methods
employed in obtaining evidence on ',
which such arrests are based.
"In our opinion, the violation of this j
act is no greater crime than the viola- j

Bedtime Stories
Black Pussy Finds She Is Mistaken
By Thornton W. Burgess
Don't laugh to see another fall;
Mistakes are common to its all.
?Biack Pussy.
When Black Pussy had been chased
away from the post where hung the
old coat, in the sleeve of which jenny
and Mr. Wren had built their' home,
she had known by the sound of his
voice that Farmer Brown's Boy meant
for her to keep away. So Black Pussy
ran into the house, and there she
stayed until she was certain that her
master had gone out to the barn.
Then she crept out and ran to her
favorite hiding place under the barn,
there to think things over and per?
haps afterward take a nap.
"That saucy Jenny Wren has got a
nest in that old coat," muttered
Black Pussy, as she settled herself
in comfort. "I never have heard of
such a place for a nest. She must be
crazy to have made one there, but I
know by the way she and Mr. Wren
acted that there is a nest there.
They gave their secret away them?
selves. It would never have entered
my head to look in that old coat. It
is funny how some folks arc so
anxious to keep a thing secret that
they give it away at once.
"I wonder how long they have been
nesting there, ^wonder if they have
some babies ye"t. I am told that
Jenny Wren usually has a good-sized
family. I hope it is true. Jenny and
Mr. Wren are such little things that
they wouldn't make more than a bite
apiece. If I am careful, I probably
can catch Jenny in there and then I
will have her and the babies, too. If
I wait until night 1 surely will catch j
her. I've worked that trick many j
times. It's easy. The best part of it I
is, Farmer Brown's Boy never knows ?
anything about who causes the empty \
nests he finds. I don't suppose it
h-is ever entered his head that a Cat
can climb in the night just easily as
in daylight. He never has caught me
robbing a nest, so I suppose he thinks
I nevjr ?o. I nearly gave myself away
when I sat at the foot of that post.
I must have looked too longingly at
those Wrens, and that is why he
chased me away". 1 can tell him one
tning, and that is that all Cats are
alike when it comes to hunting birds.
"My, the more I think of that nest
the more I want to know what is in
it! I don't believe I will have to
wait for night. It is such a short
climb that I can get up there in a
second. I'll wait awhile and then,
when the way is clear, I'll jutt scram?
ble up that post. That will be an
easy nest to get."
But Black Pussy was mistaken.
Late that afternoon she crept out
I
She crouched at the foot of the
post and glared up
from under the barn. She peeped
j around the corner. Farmer Brown's
: Boy wns nowhere to be seen. Swiftly
; Black Pussy ran across to the foot of
i that post, and before even watchful
| Mr. Wren saw her she had dug her
! claws into it and started up. Three
I feet up her 3harp claws, and they
I were very sharp, refused to dig into
I that post. It was so unexpected that
she lost her balance and fell'back to
the ground.
With an angry snarl Black Pussy
tried again and exactly tho same
thing happened. She didn't under?
stand it. She crouched at the foot of
the po?t and glared up. What made
that post so shiny half way up? Once
more she tried, but this time she
went up slowly, and when she reached
that shiny place she tried it care?
fully with one paw. It was tin! No
wonder her claws wouldn't catch hold.
Then Black Pussy knew how mis-'
taken she had been in thinking that
nest would be easy to reach. In
fact, she began to suspect that she
never would reach it at all. By this
time Jenny Wren was out and she
and Mr. Wren were making such a
fuss that all the birds in the Old
Orchard were hurrying over to see
what it was all about. With an
angry growl Black Pussy sneaked
back under the barn just as Farmer
Brown's Boy came out.
And though Jenny and Mr. Wren
didn't quite understand it, they had a
feeling that once more that nest was
safe, and a?l because of Farmer
Brown's Boy.,

complaint insufficient to form the basis
of a warrant for search.
"We believe the so-called inspection
tours of the Police Department to be
inimicable to the personal freedom of
the people of this community and a
dangerous precedent which, if con?
doned, might lead in time to a system

"We think that the Jest interests of
the city demand enforcement of this
law through tho channels of the courts
and that, proper warrants for search
and seizure be first obtained."

agreeable, but that they had a duty to

"I have done my best to secure the
best ideals of mankind as I understand

Stillman Sued
For Divorce to j
Guy!
Wife Could Have Obtained j
Decree Without Opposi-j
tion Were It Not for;
Child, Says Counsel
Case to Continue Into Fall ?
-
Defendant Expects to Pro-'
duce Sixty New Wit-!
ncsses Before Closing!
From a Staff Correspondent
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., July 1.?The
motive that has guided James A. Still- i
man in his bitter fight against his wife
was presented to-day in crystalized J
form before Referee Daniel J. Gleason
at the closing session of the hearings
in the dramatic divorce suit of which
the banker is plaintiff.
His counsel made it clear through
the medium of re-direct examination
that Guy alone was the object of at?
tack, and that if it had not been for
the child Mrs. Stillman could have
brought suit against her husband with
out publicity or opposition. The de- j
fendant was not present when Colonel
William Rand jr. called Mr. Stillman
to the stand and asked him a series of
questions which clearly indicated that
it was not animu3 toward his wife that
caused him to bring suit for divorce,
but the knowledgo that ho could not
attack the paternity of Guy were he to
allow her to sue.
Questions addressed to the plaintiff
showed that before he brought this ac?
tion ho consulted hig wife's attorneys
and expressed himself as being willing
to let Mrs. Stillman have a divorce if
she wanted one. It developed that
when he learned later, upon consulta?
tion with his own attorneys, that the
paternity of Guy could not be tried out I j
if the action were brought against him, |
Mr. Stillman decided to sue both moth
er and child. Referee Gleason over-j j
ruled three pertinent questions bearing j j
on this point, upon the objection of I
John F. Brennan, counsel tor Mrs.
Stillman. ' j
Stillman May Be Recalled \
The plaintiff's case has not rested,']
but it is unlikely that he will per-11
sonaliy reappear at any of the hear-;!
irgs, although his counsel may call ; j
him back for re-direct examination.'!
More witnesses will be called, however.!!
The hearing adjourned at 1 o'clock |j
to-day. The next session will include j
July 13, 14 und 10. There will then j
be a further adjournment of two j I
week:-, followed by hearings on July|j
23 and 29. The case will rest during'!
August and will be resumed early in!
September.
Indications are that the suit will II
drag into the late autumn or winter. !
Cornelius J. Sullivan, attorney for the!
plaintiff, said this morning that Mr. ;
Stillman would prefer to go right'
ahead now with hearings every day for i
three weeks except on Mondays, when ,
the referee is otherwise engaged. Mr. !
Brennan jumped to his feet upon hear- I
ing tliis, with the remark: j
"You have had a whole year to pre?
pare your case; we want some time,
too."
Mr. Stillman arrived at Poughkeepsie
in great good humor to-day. He
locked almost jolly when he walked
with a care-free air into the Pough?
keepsie Trust Building by way of the
front door. He hastened his steps
when the cameras were trained in his
direction and Mr. Sullivan jokingly re?
marked: I
"What's your hurry, Jim? Don't!
duck them."
The three questions by Colonel Rand
to Mr. Stillman which were the sen- ?
sation of the day were as follows:
"Did you express yourself to your j
wife's attorney before bringing this j
action as being entirely willing that!
your wife have a divorce if she wanted
one?"
Basis of Husband's Suit
"Did you then take legal advice by
counsel that the question of the pa-j
ternity of Guy Stillman could not be
tried out in any action brought against
you ?"
"Did you, because of counsel's advice,
therefore, bring this action against
Mrs. Stillman and Guy?"
Before Mr. Stillman had a chance to
answer any of these questions Mr. j
Brennan raised an objection, which was
sustained every time by the referee.
"Did you then have the information
which caused you to bring this action?"
inquired Colonel Rand.
"I did not," declared Mr. Stillman.
Cross-examination of Stillman by |
John E. Mack which met with some ;
response was as follows:
Q.?Do you know a man called La
Fontaine? A.?Yes.
Q.?Did vou meet him in Montreal?
A.?Yes.
Q.?You were in the company of
Mr. Sullivan? A.?Yes.
Q.?Was the question of witnesses
brought up? A.?1 refuse to answer
on the ground that it might tend to
incriminate me.
Q.?Did you authorize the payment of
moneys to witnesses? A.?I refuse to
answer on the ground that it might
tend to incriminate me.
Q.?Did you authorize efforts to bribe j
witnesses? A.?I refuse to answer on,
the ground that it might tend to in- ,
criminate me.
Mrs. Stillman was not present at the
dosing session to-day. She and her
eldest son, Buddy, who has been with '
her for the last two days, left for New!
York this afternoon. He will be one I
of the principal witnesses when she'
presents her defense. The opening i
guns in her case will be fired at the
next hearing in July. Her counsel j
expect to call over sixty witnesses
'both on her behalf and that of Guy.
