Alleged liquor and narcotic drug
orgies in certain motion picture, the?
atrical and artistic circles nro to come
in for a sweeping investigation extend?
ing from coast to coast and centering
in Los Angeles, New York and Wash?
ington, it became known yesterday at
the offices of Frank Oyler, Federal Nar?
cotic Division Director, and Dr. Carle
ton Simon, Special Deputy Police Com?
missioner.
The determination to stamp out fla?
grant violation of the Harrison anti?
drug law and the sanitary code drug
laws among people who are otherwise
regarded as responsible, results, it was
said yesterday, not a'one from revela?
tions in the "Fatty" Arbuckle ease, but
from other eases of international no
torietv. These include the death in
. 'London of Billy Carleton, comic opera
???r-ger; the death in Paris of Olive
Thomas, and the death in New York
of Sara Campbell Cowen, daughter of
a former railroad president.
Dr. Simon Plans Action
"These shocking cases which occur
periodically call out to the world for
?action," Dr. Simon said yesterday, add?
ing that he had recent information of
a startlin?c nature. He admitted-that
he had private and personal informa?
tion, which he has held confidential for
months and which he said connected
people, ?oinc of wealth and standing,
with the use of and traffic in narcotic
drugs. Many of these people, he said,
have been repeatedly warned to cease
illegal tra-Tic, and he intimated that
drastic action was imminent.
Frank Oyler, in charge of the Fed
eir-.l narcotic o'Trce, was in Brooklyn,
where it was announced that Sabbas
"Mentinhs, fourth mate of the recently
raided Grecian steamship King Alex?
ander, had made a complete confession
Covering the general smuggling opera?
tions of members of the ship's crew.
In Mr. Oylcr's office it was admitted
that the government had taken notice
of the "Fatty" Arbuckle case. It was
said that the activities of the Federal
agents in investigating the drug and
liquor disclosures following Arbuckle's
arrest were centering in I.os Angeles
and were being directed from Washing?
ton. The investigation would extend
to New York, it was said, as evidence of
ramifications hero of the traffic de?
veloped.
Addict Ends Life In Cell
Joseph Bostwick, thirtv-eight years
old, of 1297 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn,
a drug addict, hanged himself with ais
necktie in a cell in the Clinton Street
police hold-over.
Bostwick kept calling hysterically for
a "shot" of heroin. When his case be?
came serious he received the hypo?
dermic injection of his favorite drug,
but he continued hysterical and his at?
tack terminated in self-destruction.
Dr. Simon said:
"Bostwick was suffering from co?
caine depression, a condition resulting
from heavy usage of the drug. This
often produces a suicidal mania, and
the patient might commit suicide at any
moment regardless cf where he might
be or how much drug he might have
available. His condition was not due
to his arrest. These cases occur in
and out of jails and they cannot be pre?
vented."
Bostwick was one of five men arrest?
ed by Narcotic Detectives Pastini and
Quigley, of Dr. Simon's division. At
Stanton and Attorney streets, soon
after being placed in cells, all the men
began pleading for drugs. John Lee,
negro jailer, called an ambulance from
Gouverneur" Hospital and each of the
men was given an injection by Dr.
Wanstein. All were relieved but Bost
>rick.
Girl, Seized as Robber, Fights
Jersey Mayor; Wins Decision
Scratches, Bites and Kicks His Honor's Shins Blue,
and, After Posse Lands Her in Cell, Shouts Threat
to Lick Him Again When She Gets Out
Sp?cial Diavaleh to The Tribune
HACKENSACK, N.J.,Sept. 16.?Alice
? Furrcllo, accused as an accomplice in
the robbery of an Assyrian peddler,
was found at her home in Palisades
? Park to-day by Mayor Robert Todd of
that city, who had assembled a posse
when the peddler reported the attack
upon him to the police.
The Mayor was well In advance of
his posse, but ventured to seize tho
young woman alone. He has played
soccer football and he has been a can?
didate for the Assembly on the Repub?
lican ticket in Bergen County, but he
never got into a tougher rough and
tumble than he found himself engaged
in.
Miss Furrello was bound by no rules
j of war whatever, except that which
I states the main purpose of every con?
flict is victory. She bit the Mayor and
' she scratched the Mayor and she kicked
I His Honor's shin3. She was after him
! like a wildcat every second of the fight
i and the Mayor was gasping for breath
land trying in vain to shield his face,
j when his posse came to the rescue.
Their united strength was sufficient
to overwhelm Miss Fun-olio, ?nd she
was locked up in the Hackensack jail.
As the Mayoi- and his posse marched
down the street from the jail she
hurled defiance at them through the
?bars of her cell and promised the Mayor
! specifically that next time she got hold
j of him ahe would do him up right.
The posse was sent after her when
Sam Abrahams, an Assyrian peddler,
reported to the police that, when he had
called at Miss Furello's home she had
invited him inside to display his wares,
an invitation which he accepted without
suspicion. Once inside, he said, he
j was confronted by two men with re
! volvcrs, who ordered him to stand
still.
While he stood-still, he said, Miss
! Furrello searched him and took $75 in
! currency and $100 worth of his wares.
I Then, he said, the trio locked him in
a room of the house, from, which he
escaped several hours later by smash?
ing a window.
Michael Lenzzi, who is said to have
been drawing $150 from a bank at the
| time of his arrest, was locked up as one
i of the robbers and identified by Abra?
hams. Paul Oliveri was arrested as
the third. When the police searched
the house they discovered four re?
volvers, several knives and a Stilette
with a 10-inch blade.

Diver Finds Two Stolen
Cars in 'Auto Graveyard' ?
Machine Lost Since Nov., 1920,
and Another Taken Month
Ago Raised from East River
Writh the aid of a deep-sea diver the j
pclice yesterday raised from the "au- i
temobile graveyard," at the foot of
Tiffany Street, the Bronx, two more
automobile listed as stolen and be- I
lieved to have been sunk there by j
thieves.
The cars, a Stutz 1917 model, license
number 42-516, reported stolen August
9, 1921, and a Hupmobile, license num?
ber 133-752, reported stolen November
10, 1920, belonged to Jacob Kassower,
23 Stuyvesant Avenue, Brooklyn, and
Morris Klein, 1380 Marion Avenue, the
Bronx, respectively. The cars were
insured.
Recovery of the machines was made
through the efforts of Inspector Hal
leck, of the Police Marine Division, who
prevailed upon the Automobile Under?
writers' Association, following dis?
covery of a stolen automobile at this
point last month, to hire a diver to
investigate the waters of the deserted
Tiffany Street pier.
The diver was retained at $50 a day
and on his second day of work located
the two machines.
Bedtime Stories
Striped Chipmunk's Little Joke
By Thornton W. Burgess
/4 little laughter every day
Will chase and keep the blues aivay. j
?Striped Chipmunk.
Striped Chipmunk lovea to laugh.
He is one of the happiest and most |
inerry-hearted o? all the little people!
of the Old Orchard and the Green
Forest, as y ? i all know. lie has a
temper, but > never keeps ill-tern- |
pered very ig. * |
That Bla .. Pussy should have so
nearly caught him made him very_ an?
gry, and the discovery that his little
round doorwas in the middle of the
path, was no longer sate "and so he
must mako a now one made him
more angry. But after the new one
was made and he had had a good rest
he was his usual good-natured self.
The next morning Striped Chip?
munk sat on the Btone beside his new
doorway. You remember it was be- ?
tween that stone and a big mullein |
plant. The mullein leaves hung over i
i-nd quito hid it. And that stone was ?
n handy place to sit. Striped Chip?
munk v.i* i even more pleased with his |
new doorway than he had been with?
the one in the middle of the path. A|
friend, Farmer Brown's Boy, and an j
enemy, Black Pussy the Cat, had
found that one. But no one knew of
this one, and he didn't intend that
any one should.
Pretty scon he saw Farmer Brown's
Boy coming djwn the path. Striped
Chipmunk whisked away through the
grass and when Farmer Brown's Boy
reached the little hole in the path
Striped Chipmunk was sitting beside
it as usual, warring for trie good things
Farmer Brown's Boy was sure to have
for him. Farmer Brown's Boy fed
him and petted him as usual and i
.rever once suspected that Striped
Chipmunk was no longer using that
hole a- an entrance to his home.
Hardly was Farmer Brown's Boy
out of si^ht when Black Pussy came ?
stealing down the path. Striped
Chipmunk sat on the stone by the
mullein plant and watched her. He
chuckled inside j*s he saw how in?
tently she was watching the path
?head of her. He chuckled still more
as he saw how stealthily and care- !
fully she crept along as she drew '
r-ear that little hole in the path.
*A foot away from it she crouched,
Just i.s Bhe had done the day before,;
i. dy to spring. Striped Chipmunk'
realised now how narrow had been \
his escape. Only when she turned
her head for a hasty look to make ;
sure no one had followed her or was
watching her did she take her eyes
from that iitUe hole ? foot in front
He chuckled inside as he saiv how
intently she was watching the
path ahead of her
of her. It tickled Striped; Chip?
munk to think that the one for whom
she was watching was all the time
right in plain sight watching her.
Finally he had to go down inside his
house so as to chuckle without being
heard. ? a
Black Pussy was just as patient as
she had been the day before. Striped
Chipmunk made half a dozen trips
along the old stone wall, taking care
to make no sound. Each time when
he returned he found Black Pussy
watching that hole, motionless save
for the twitching of the tip of her
tail.
At last Striped Chipmunk could.
stand it no longer. He scurried along
the old stone wall for some distance,
then out through the grass to the
path. In the middle of this he sat
u*p. His bright eyes twinkled. He
chuckled softly. Then at the top of
his voice he began to scold, telling
Black Pussy just what he thought
of her.
There never was a more surprised
Cat in all the Great World than was
Black Pussy. She glared at Striped
Chipmunk. Then she glared at the
hole in front of her. It was plain
that she couldn't understand at all
how Striped Chipmunk could be out
there in that path. Striped Chip?
munk hugged himself for joy. ?t
was the best joke ever. At least he
thought so.

Stocks Tumble, Broker
Wants Alimony Slashed
Cannot Pay Former Mate and
Still Support Second Wife,
William Specht Pleads
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., Sept. 16.?
Because, it was contended, his income
has been greatly reduced by the de?
cline in stock values, counsel for Wil?
liam Specht, a Wall Street broker, ap?
plied to Supreme Court Justice Mors
chauser to-day at White Plains for an
order reducing the amount of alimony
Specht has been paying to his wife
for the maintenance and education 'of
their four children, who are in the
custody of the?r mother.
The divorce action was tried before
Referee Mortimer Patteson, of Nyack.
It was said in court to-day that pre?
vious to the decree being entered in
1920 in favor of Mrs. Specht the couple
entered into a separation agreement
whereby Mr. Specht turned over $135,
000 worth of real estate to his wife and
also paid her $5,000 a month for the
care of the children. It was said by
the attorney for Mr. Specht that the
defendant .had remarried, and that since
the deflation in stock values and the
falling off of his stock brokerage busi?
ness he could not pay the alimony and
have enough to support his second wife.
Mrs. Specht's counsel said the de-1
fault in the alimony allowance was
$1,000. Justice Morschauser directed j
that Specht be produced on next Mon-1
day to testify as to his income.

Boy, 6, Drowns Trying
To Recover Toy Boatj
Two Other Lads Fall Into the
North River; Man Saves
One, hut Brother Is Lost
Norman Travers, the six-year-old son j
of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Travers, of 64
East 128th Street, was drowned while
playing with two other boys yesterday
on the bank of the Harlem River at
the foot of 132nd Street.
Norman, with his brother Robert,
seven years old, was watching an older
boy sailing a toy boat. When the
string on the boat broke, Norman is
said to have become excited, and in run?
ning up and down the bank lost his
balance and fell into the river. The
shouts of his brother and a companion
brought Patrolman Vitale, of the East
126th Street station. The boy had dis- -
appeared, however, and the body was
not recovered until late last night by
police of the marine division.
Mr. Travers is the head of the loan
department of the Guaranty Trust
Company.
Michael Kelly, fourteen years old, of
208 East Eighty-fourth Street, and his
brother William, while playing on
rocks in the North River fifteen feet
from shore, between Eighty-fourth
and Eighty-fifth streets, lost their
balance and fell into the water. A
man who saw the two boys struggling
in the water managed to rescue Will?
iam. Michael was drowned and his
body was recovered an hour later by
a patrolman of the marine division.
Woman Stricken Speechless
Collapses on Broadway, Suffer?
ing From Aphasia *
A* well dressed woman suffering
from aphasia descended from a Fifth
Avenue bus at Seventy-first Street and
Broadway last night, collapsing as she
reached the sidewalk.
Patrolman Agnew summoned Dr.
White, of the Knickerbocker Hospital,
to whom the woman managed to convey
by writing on a pad that she had been
subject to such attacks and had been
operated on lately in hope of a cure.
She said her name was Sarah Cowing
and her home in Boston.
Dr. White sent the woman to the
hospital, where it was later said she
probably would recover her power of
speech within a few hours.
Lawyer in Debt,
But Must Pay

C. A. Jayne Gives Divorced!
Wife $600 a Month; Says
Ho Cannot Afford $50
a Week to Present One i
Separation Suit Pending
Exchange of Affectionate j
Letters With Red-Haired ?
Stenographer Charged
The plea of Chester Addison Jayne,
lawyer and member of several clubs,
that his reduced incomo was insuffi?
cient to pay $600 a month alimony to
his former wife, who divorced him, and
$50 a week alimony to his present wife,
failed to obtain for him the desired j
relief in the Supreme Court yesterday, j
Mr. Jayne is being sued for a separa- j
tion by Mrs. Louise R. Jayne, his sec- ?
ond wife. A referee reported to the i
court that the defendant should be
compelled to pay the plaintiff $50 a
week alimony.\ This recommendation
was confirmed by the court and Mr.
Jayne asked Justice Newburgor to
modify the -jpder, on the ground that
he could not afford to pay a Becond
alimony of $50.
Mr. Jayne said that his former in?
come of $15,000 to $20,000 had been re?
duced by a depression in his business;
that ho was a loBer in two commercial
enterprises in which he took a flyer,
and that after paying his former wife
$600 a month for herself and their two
children, there is not much left for
his ordinary needs. Mr. Jayne informed
the court that his present financial
status made it impossible to pay his
wife $?0 a week. The lawyer was for?
merly connected with the Fuller com?
pany. This relation was severed, he
said, because of the actions of Mrs.
Jayne.
Last year, said Mr. Jayne, his wife
contracted debts amounting to $3,444,
for which her creditors sued him. He
is now in arrears $1,777 in his alimony
payments to his first wife, and his
total debts amount to $12,900. A mo-,
tion is now pending to punish Mr.
Jayne because of his failure to keep
up his payment to Mrs. Jayne, No. 2.
According to his own statement, the
attorney-clubman is living on borrowed
funds, while he is being harassed on
all sides for money.
Justice Newburger read the recital
of Mr. Jayne and decided that he would i
have to pay his second wife the $50'
a week originally awarded. Mrs. Jayne, !
although she is suing only for a separa- j
tion, mentioned in her complaint that
her husband exchanged affectionate I
letters with a red-haired secretary I
named Pearl Marie Freeman.

IN THE SHOPS FOR MEN
TA glad greeting for men, this invitation to choose
today from the
Finest Topcoats in
the Country at $50
We use our adjectives advisedly. If we did
not use the word "finest" to describe these topcoats,
we should fail in doing them justice.
They are made of superb British tweeds,
bought, fresh from the looms, by our representative
early in the summer, shipped over here by express
freight, and turned over-to two of the best topcoat
makers in America?with precise instructions as to
what to do.
They matched the goodness of the tweeds
with the cleverne?s of their cutting
and their thorough workmanship.
You'll like the looks of the coats. The rich,
new-wool feel of the fabric will pleasantly surprise'
you. The clean finish of the under side?no lining
(they don't require it)?will appeal to you. Put
one of the coats on and you're gone?you'll want
to wear it right away.
You have choice of three patterns?
?a brown herringbone of suitable weight for Fall.
?a gray mixed tweed good for Fall and Winter.
?a gray double herringbone, also winter weight.
Single-breasted; fairly full back; smart drape; big pockets;
bone buttons buttoning through.
Men's Suits, $40 and $45
New, at the new Fall prices. Blues, browns, grays,
mixtures?a very capable-appearing assortment?the
type which will appeal to capable men and young men.
Just to see them, and feel them, is to be glad that new
suit time has come.
Fine Shirts at $1.65
All WOVEN madras and corded madras, in a va?
riety of good patterns and colorings to ensure anybody
