? _ i
The failure of more than 1.500 mu- i
sicians to report for duty at moving 1
pictnre theaters along Broadwry yes-i
terday because of their refusal to ac- .
oept a 20 per cent, reduction in pay ap- |
pearcd to have very little effect on the i
entertainments.
The afternoon and evening programs
at the Capitol, Strand, Rivoli, Rialto
und Criterion ?were given as usual, with
Iba musical accompaniment supplied
iy organ and piano soloists and large ?
rhoruscs hastily assembled to take the
*place of the striking musicians.
About 500 of the musicians employed i
In the 100 vaudeville houses of the city ,
quit at midnight last night. All the
enterprises of the Keith. Proctor, T.oew. :
Moss and Fox circuits are affected.,
The managers, however, have been
making preparations for the strike and I
Ray they will have full orchestras ?
ready when the curtains go tip to-day. .'
People Like Choruses
Hugo Riesenfeld, managing director
of the Rivoli, Rialto and Criterion
theaters, said ho had little trouble in
obtaining organ and piano soloista for
the) three houses, where he said he also ?
added choruses of fifty voices to-sub?
stituto for tho orchestras,
"The pretty part about the matter
is," commented Mr. Riesenfeld, "that
tho audiences seem to like the choruses
better than the orchestras. I don't
think there will bo any musicians'
strike after a few days.
At the Capitol and Strand largo
choruses had also been installed, with
flinging and instrumental soloists. It ;
?svas said here that the idea of main- j
iaining the innovations as a perma- |
nent fixture is being considered by the '
managements.
Henry V. Donnelly, secretary oT the
Musical Mutual Protective Union, in- '
sisted yesterday that the musicians j
had been locked out. "The men con- ?
sider the proposed reduction an ir.jus- I
tice, und the union never before was:
more determined to hold out to the -
end,'' he said. I
From other quarters, however, there
were intimations that the strike would !
prove a fizzle, and that a few days
would see many of the players back at ?
the reduced scale of pay. Managers ]
of the motion picture an'd vaudeville
theatres say that musicians from other ]
cities are being brought to New York j
In large numbers with the assistance j
of the American Federation of Musi- I
cians, the national body, from which i
the local union recently was expelled, i
In addition, it is pointed out that the
union men arc divided among them?
selves, the conservative element argu- ;
ing with the more radical on the ad- :
viaability of returning to work at the j
reduced scale.
Leader Explains Status
Managers take the position that the
present attendance at theaters makes j
the salary reduction absolutely neces?
sary. In connection with the aid given
the theater directors by the American !
Federation of Musicians. Joseph N. j
Weber, head of the latter organization, ]
issued the following statement:'
"The American Federation of Musi?
cians does not recognize the existence
of a local union in New York City, but j
there will be one soon.
"The city is therefore open to the
musicians of the country who may
want jobs. No man can be blacklisted
or penalized as non-union who now
??ornes here to work or who remains at
work. There is no possibility that un?
der existing conditions that what was
formerly Local 310 of our organisa?
tion will b^ restored to good standing
or its charter returned." The national
body is affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. i
Bedtime Stories
Sammy Jay Js True to His Word
By Thornton W. Burgess
Who to his spoken word is true
Respect ivi?l have whate'er he do.
? Sammy Jay.
- a
Simmy Jay flew straight over to
where Peter Rabbit hud <aid he would
tlnd the poor young Heron fas', in a
trap on the edge of the Laughing
Brook. Sammy made no sound. He
believes in seeing h!1 that < an 1 ?>?
^een before being Keen himself. If
didn't take him a minute to see that
? '.irigs were just as Peter had told
He ',.r.<-w tuat Peter -was right;
that r.one of the forest or meadow
people could pojsibly get that, cruel
trap off that young Heron's foot.
"Farmer Brown's Boy is his only
ehar.ee for life," thought Sammy,
"Pctt.-r is right about that. The poor
'".ir.fr! The poor tiling! That trap
? ust hurt dreadfully. Whoever set
' olght to be caught in it just to
learn what it is like. Well, Samm>
Jay, it looks as if you ;ire the oniy
one who can do anything to get that
youngster out of his trouble, and the
?ooner you go about it the better."
So Sammy spread his blue wings
and flew away without heilig feen by
the young Heron or hi? mother, Mrs.
Longlega. lie bad decided that it
would he best not to show himself. ''It
might add to their worries," mutteri d
Sammy, which was very thoughtful
of him. "I haven't the best name over
was, and they might think that I would
?ell of their trouble to Reddy Por or
Old Man Coyote.'' >..,... y grinned at
' e thought of hi ? bad name, but
em at all disturbed about it
When he reached the edge of the
an p f earest fcl e Green Meadows he
topped in *'? - top of the tallest tre?
and eagerly looked i-crosa to Farmei
Brown's cornfield. Now, as you know
Sammy Jay's eyes are very, very
sharp and it didn't take him twe
minutes to make sure that no om wat

too bad, it certainly is too bad,"
11 ,.. he ?? ? - ? hat t wai

?:; en he is trying to find out some?
thing that he is interested in. But
to ?it waiting for some one, not
knowing whether or not he will

of which I know.
Sammy found it po. He fidgeted
and fidgeted. A dozen times ho wa^

Then lie would think how terrible it
was to ho caught in a trap and would
try to b<: patient. But at last it be?

Jammj made up i is mind that Fan

to the cornfield that day.
"It is of no use to wait any longer,"
thought Sammy, "lie isn't coming and
I am just wasting time for nothing.
I may just as veil give up now as

And just then h" Bpied some one

The next story; "Farmer Brown's
Bo .- Stops,"
Oom Forfeits Sunday Ball Game
And His Repute as Omnipotent
Inaugural of His League ?Not Auspicious, for Nyack
Police Won't Let Crowd In ; Precious Permit Lost,
Promoter's Power Unable to Win Him Another
Fron: ttSiag Correspond?? ? I
XYACK, X. V., Aug. 7. -Oom the
Omnipotent encountered the immovable
police force of Upper Xyack to-day, i
and His Omnipotence came out second ?
best. In other words, the initial base?
ball game of the ieague founded by
Oom failed to come off as advertised.
Half an hour before time for the
game to begin policemen took their
stations at every entrance to the Brnc
burn Country Club, Oom's latest enter?
prise, strung ropes across the gate?
ways and informed the gathering crov.d
that the game was off.
There had been many critics of
Oom's announced intention of having
the opening game of" his Rocklatnl
County Baseball League take place on '
Sunday, among them men of wealth
and power in the community. It ik
thought that some of them know why
Oom's omnipotence proved ineffectual
to-day, but none is taking the credit
for it.
Oom. formerly know", as the loving
Guru of the Tantriks, made no ex?
planation whatever. Extraordinary
precautions were taken by his follow?
ers in the Braeburn Country Club to
prevent any newspaper representative
from asking Oom what ailed his om?
nipotence. Only members were admit?
ted to the club grounds.
One explanation, an anonymous one,
was that in a moment of forgetful
ness, Oom had misplaced the Bpecial
permit he had obtained for his Sunday
baseball game, and all his omnipotence
had not availed to :'.nd that precious
bit of paper.
Most of the residents in this yieinlty
are strongly pro-Oom. They regard
Dr. Pierre A. Bernard, as he calls
himself and his country club, as val?
uable assets to the community. Among
them are not only the members of the
club, who include persons of wealth
and influence, but also most of the
shopkeepers, who have a keen appre?
ciation of the increased circulation of
money due to the affluence of the club
members.
There is an anti-Oom party also, how?
ever, and its members include most of
the wealthy and prominent persons of
the community who have not joined the
Brae Burn Country Club. When Oom
organized its baseball league, which
includes teams from this town, Pier
mont, Spring Valley, Nanuet, Pearl
River and Suffcrn, the pro-Oomers
cheered and tho anti-Oomers main?
tained an omnious Bilencc.
When Oom strung a banner across
the principal street of Nyack and other?
wise advertised the ball game that was
to take place- at the Brae Burn Coun?
try Club to-day between the Nyack
team and that of Pearl River, the anti
Oomers protested. They didn't1 like
the idea of Sunday baseball in Nyack,
Their protest was made to Sheriff A.
H. Merritt, whoso office is in New City.
When Oom heard about it he consulted
with trustees of this village, and his
omnipotence is said to have been equal
to having the trustees call a special
meeting at which permission was given
for to-day's games, with the under
standing that it was to be the last Sun?
day contest.
That solution of the difficulty was
published in the local newspaper and
widely advertised orally, so that h
crowd gathered t. the ball ?fame
Not one was admitted by tho police,
however, and it was s?id that haying
lost his original permit Oom was un?
able to get another, because Frank R.
Crumbie, village president, v. as not at
Deputy Sheriff Miller, however, had
another explanation equally a* mysteri?
ous as the one which involved tho im?
mediate not!'.'cut ion of the Nyack po
lice of the loss of the permit. Mr.
Miller said that a member of tho Brae
burn Club had informed Sheriff Mer?
ritt last night that there would be no
gam* to-day. That, said the deputy
sheriff, was the only reason that
Sheriff Merritt didn't go to Nyack to?
day to stop the contest.
Anyhow, there wasn't any game.
Mever to Let Lane
Finish Graft Quest
He Is Conducting
Sees No Reason for Reply?
ing to Protest Against So?
cialist; Hylan Quiz Expect?
ed to Begin To-niorrow
Senator Schuyler M. Meyer, chairman
of the joint legislative graft investigat?
ing committee, raid yesterday that he
would not make any reply to Assembly?
man James T, Carroll's letter to him
protesting against the retention of
Winthrop D. Lane, the Socialist-paci?
fist, as an employee of the committee.
He declared that he had said his last
word on the subject. It was reported
tiiat the work of Lane, which was an
, it.vestigation of the organization and
J conduct of the city's hospitals and
; other charitable institution?, was about
completed and that lie would be
dropped when that work was done.
A statement having to do with the
investigation was issued by Senator
Meyer yesterday. The statement says
that three departments. Health, Wel?
fare and Believuc and Allied Hospitals,
have jurisdiction over the city's
twenty-three institutions. He said
there had been frequent criticism of
this division of responsibility.
"To assist the committee in formulat?
ing a policy for recommendation to
the Charter Revision Commission," the
statement said, "wo have addressed a
letter to some 150 persons, head", of
public and private welfare agencies,
physicians, social welfarn workers and
participants ir. other kindred activi
! ties." Senator Meyer said he hop? J
I to get helpful criticism in the replies.
. He announced that the committee's in?
vestigation so far disclosed that there
1 were three public investigations in the
I part, and that these, together with ir.
qrjiries Jondticted by privat: agencies
for the most part, agreed in finding
that the present system is in mar;;.- re?
spects inefficient and uneconomical, ,
Senator Meyer said that he had not!
heard from Mayor Hylan, who was "in- '
vited" by the committee to appear be?
fore it to-morrow. He expressed the
belief that the Mayor, who is fo he the
committee's first witness at its public
hearings, will be on hand as requested.

Suicides Doubled as
Compared With 1920
Save-a-Life League Hold? After-!
War Conditions Responsible
for Increase
Business depression and abnormal
conditions following the war were held i
responsible for an increase of 3,738 j
in the number of adult suicides in this
country in the first six months of this I
year, as compared with the same period j
in 19:20, in a report made public yes- |
terday by the Save-a-Lifc League. The |
report states that suicide among chil?
dren more than doubled during the
same period.
In the case of children, parental
neglect and fear of school examina?
tions were mentioned as the principal
causes. Boys, of un average age of <
sixteen, took their own lives to the
number of Uli. and girls, averaging
fifteen years old, to the number of !
293. In most cases the boys us<jd
re'.'oh'crs and the girls poison.
Among adults the preponderance was
in favor of the men, of whom 4,527 !
took their own lives. Their average
age was forty-throe years. In the first
six months of 1921, 6,509 adults com?
mitted suicide, as compared to 2,771
last year, and 507 children ended their
own lives, as compared to 225 in 1920.
The report stated the suicide in?
crease was world wide.

La Guardia Asks j
Transfers for
Brooklyn Again
Tells Chairman McAneny
of Transit Commission
Service on the Surface!
Lines Is Intolerable
Warns of Coming Election
Cites Wa?rc Reductions and
Lower Trend in Cost of
Materials and Supplies
F. H. La Guardia, President of the
I'-oard of Aldermen, yesterday made:
public a letter in1 wrote to George Mc
Aneny, chairman of the Transit Com-I
mission, in which in- aaked tho com?
mis'i..:i to restore the transfer sys
tcm on tli" Bronkhn surfaco lines,
v. nor? the servie.-, ho added, was in
lolerable.
''I beg io i.iquire," wrote President I
la Guardia, "whether ?t is not, pos- i
:.tb!e for your commission to bring',
about relief to the passengers who
are compelled to use the surface car
service, ...specially in Brooklyn. Under
the present arrangement, which 1 be- ?
lievo whs brought about fur the pur-,
pose of inconveniencing the public
and unduly raising fares, there are
numerous instances where two ??id
: : ? .?.? far is must be paid Por a con?
tinuous ioume.v, the disintegration ..f
si. being artificial an.I di i eel
lines broken up on the pretext that
the company is operating under ilif- !
renl franeh ises.
"The reason that I bring this matter
to your attention a;, this time ?a that
on v recently the pay of tho employees .
ivas reduced, which will result, of
course, in tho reduced cost of opera?
tion, and that there is a downward
market in the cost of materials and
supplies, forming a largo part of the
operating eost.
"While it Is true that th& commis?
sion has been formed but a few
month?, that condition is offset by
your v;ist experience as a city official
and the experience of one of your col?
leagues h i a former member of a pre?
vious commission, find you uro both
no doubt ftmilh'r wit's every detail
of the condition of the surface service
in tho city, especially in Brooklyn.
"The fact that the lines are operated
by a receiver will make it easier, it
seems to me, to bring about relief.
"I need not point out to you the
greut hopo ami promises held out when :
the law under which you are function- |
ing was under discussion. As we ave ?
approaching an election the traction!
qui st .on will naturally be an issue, and |
it is but fair to you. :ir well as to the j
candidates who want to present the ,
issues frankly as they actually exist, ?
that it be known whether or not the ?
commission can bring about the relief
in the surface system or not. As you j
know, the surface cur? ar? not oper- i
ating under any contract with the city, ?
the tracks and equipment aro the prop- j
crty of the company, and therefore you
'?ave complete and sole jurisdiction i
over the matter, assuming tiiat the law |
is valid and constitutional.
"I ned not point out that a plan or a |
program which will not be backed by
the actual reduction of duplicate, fares
in the surface system, if presented at ?
such time as might appear to have been i
politically synchronized, would be un- i
satisfactory and tho candidates would ,
bo justified in taking up the issue as j
herein indicated.
"What I have ?n mind principally is !
to bring relief at the earliest possible '
moment. Conditions in tho surface
system in Brooklyn are intolerable, the
duplication of fares is exorbitant, nnd
with the reduced cost of operation
there is no reason why the former :
transfer system cannot be rcestab- !
lished."
