500 iii Terror
As Ferryboat
el
And Ship Crash
Fog Causes Sidewipe Smash
in North River of Liner
ami Carrier Filled With
Commuters From Jersey
Cool Pilot Averts Peril
Guides Shattered Crafi Out
of Danger. Calms Passen?
gers, Reaches Slip Here
In B low hanging fop filled with de?
ceptive clearing? a ferryboat ami a
steamship cams together yesterday in
the North River in midstream off Rec?
tor Street with a crash that shook up
several hundred commuters on their
?way from Co m muni paw to Manhattan.
Xo lives were lost and only one per?
son was injured. The collision was
really a stern sideswipe of the ferry?
boat Cranford, of the Contrai Railroad j
of New Jersey and the inbound steam- j
ship H. R. Mallory, of the Mallory i
Lino, on her way to dock from Gal
veaton.
The Cranford, carrying about fivfe
hundred passengers, moved slowly from
its slip on its way to the landing at
Liberty Street. Before ?jetting under
way the pilot of the ferryboat blew
warnings and heard the fog signals of
several craft in midstream.
The pilot of the Cranford got out
safely to the fairway of the river, when
he increased his speed to cope with
the tide and give him better steering
control. Apparently he was unable to
fix the position of the Mallory or to
gauge her speed, for he was almost on
top of her before her big black hull
loomed up to port.
Crash Troves Mystery
Passengers on the ferryboat said they
had the impression that the Mallory i
had safely passed up stream, and were
surprised to see the Cranford heading \
on to the steamship's port quarter. It j
is believed that the Mallory had cut j
down her speed and upset the calcula- j
tions of the Cranford's navigator.
The ferryboat's engines were re- '
versed, but she had too much headway
to escape a smash. She quickly was :
put over to starboard and sidewiped
the stem of the Mallory, the counter
ripping the rail of the ferryboat's \
upper deck and smashing part of her i
house.
I'a sengers on the Cranford saw what j
wa.s coming and rushed to safety, |
away from the side in contact with
the Mallory. Women screamdd and for
a few minutes every one except the
pilot and deckhands seemed panic
stricken.
Men hurriedly buckled on life pre- ?
servers and helped the women put them
on, and this gave many of the in a re
calm commuters the impression that
the ferryboat was about to sink. Offi?
cers on the Mallory shouted down to
the folk on the ferryboat that there
was no need for alarm and that the j
steamship would stand by. Several of j
the ferry travelers said that the steam- j
ship put over ladders and took aboard !
Some of the commuters, but this was !
denied by the Mallory's owners and by j
? the superintendent of the Jersey Cen- I
tral ferries.
Passengers Praise Pilot
It was apparent a few minutes after
the crash that the Cranford had not
been damaged sufficiently to sink her
and that her steering gear and engines
were still in good working order.
It was said by some of the less ex?
citable folk on the Cranford that the
ferry pilot was entitled to much com?
mendation for displaying good judg?
ment and nerve in a trying situation.
He drifted easily away from the Mal?
lory and, straighteninjr out, picked his
way carefully to tho ferry slip at Lib,
orty Street, where he berthed the Cran?
ford and discharged his passengers.
When the weather cleared the ferry
boat was taken to Communipaw for re?
pairs.
John Cornell, a deckhand of the
ferry boat, who lives in Sheepshead
Bay, was the only person injured. He
was thrown to the deck and suffered
severe bruises of the hip and shoulder.
The Mallory went to an anchorage in
the upper bay and moved up to her
?iior, No. 37, North River, when the for?
Ifted.

Lady Godiva Upsets Village
As Factions War Over Tights
_ ' o
To Wear ?Em or Not to Wear 'Em Ouesiion for Art
ists** Colony as Preparations Are Made for New
Years Carnival, but Sbe Won't Have Sbort Hair
There'a much ado about nothing in
the TNT and the other aeries of
art and resthetloisiu along Macdougal
Street. Likewise, there'? much ado
about almost nothing) and just at
present it's rather difficult to perceive
which ado has the raspberry on the
other,
It all centers in the Greenwich Vil?
lage Carnival, which is to bo held on
New Year's Eve, for the first time in
threo years, in Webster Hall, and a
decision to have Lady Godiva ride
through the hall on a milk-white steed
at. the stroke of 12, as a symbol of the
dainty pink freshness of the incoming
Now Year.
When this announcement was made
yesterday, however, there immediately
arose a heated controversy, which
within an hour divided the village into
two schools of thought on the sub?
ject and resulted in a deadlock of
throbbing and poignant bitterness. The
question at dispute is:
"Shall Lady Godiva ride strictly as
she did through Coventry, or shall she
accedo to the conventionalities of
modern decorum and appear in tights?"
The anti-tight school, headed by
Betty Collins and Sam Schwartz, is
insistent that the lady shall st'CK t?1
history even to the minutest detail, for
the sake of accuracy if nothing eis,'.
Besides, say the Collins-Schwartz ad?
herents, there is the point of true art
to be considered, and where would a
New Yorker go looking for true art if
not in Greenwich Village? And oil
Now Year's Eve, too'.'
Equally adamant in thqir opinions
are tho pro-tighters, commanded by
Folly Holliday and Charley Small.
They're not prissy or narrow-minded,
they say. but they do fool, that the ex?
istence of a most inartistic and unnp
prcciativo New York Police Department
should bo tal.cti into consideration, 1"
addition, they point to *Mu* fact that
one inhabitant of Coventry who ven?
tured to peck ?it Lady Godiva during
ner ride was stricken blind, and they
don't want, the entire village to lose its
eyesight merely because of a New
Year's party,
"['out'!" retorts Betty Collins to this.
"Likewise, a couple of whiffs, Guests
with weak optics can come provided
with blinders or smoked spectacles."
"Bah!" is the reply of Polly Holli?
day to this. "If you think there i--. a
male New Yorker who would wear
cither under such circumstances you'd
better go get psycho-analyzed."
And there the matter stands. Inci?
dentally, there is considerable rivalry
about the village as to who will be
chosen for the part of Lady Godiva, a
s?liction that is up to the Baron de
Grandcourt. He lias laid down only
one hard and fast rule that she must
not have bobbod hair :: decision which
naturally has created a storm of pro?
test.
The baron is at present keeping other
tentative points for the judgment
strictly to himself.

GiiTs Charge She
Is Crippled Is True
Detectives Declare Camera
Has Recorded Plaintiff in
$50,000 Suit Walking
About in Normal Manner
Special Dispatch to The Tribuna
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Dec. 23.?
Motion pictures of Miss Marie Frye,
plaintiff in a $50,000 automobile in?
jury suit against Walter B. Gage,
headmaster of Hackley School for
Boys, Tarrytown, may be introduced
by the defense to disprove a conten?
tion that she is permanently crippled.
According to statements of attorneys
for the defer.se during to-day's pi-?- !
ceedings, the pictures were made under
th- direction of detectives. A **.voma:i
detective swore that she had accom?
panied Miss Frye to picture theaters
and on automobile rider. The girl liad
exhibited no lameness, the witness said.
X-ray photographs were exhibited
to Justice Young and the jury in an
endeavor to show that Miss Frye's pel?
vic bone was fractured in two places
when *she was knocked down by the
Gage automobile in November, 1920.
Kichard A. McKenna, former lieu?
tenant in the New York Police Depart?
ment, now head of a private detective
agency, swore that on July 8 last he
saw Miss Frye, who was then visiting
in Brooklyn, board a Cotii?y Island
steamboat ' after running- nimbly up
thirty-five to forty-five steps. McKennn
testified that Miss Frye climbed the
stairs and ran aboard the boat unas?
sisted.
Marie Cah il I, woman detective, of 600
West 114th Street, Manhattan, to'.d of
seeing Miss 1* rye walk from her home
to a picture house. The young woman ?
walked normally, Miss Cahill insisted. !
She formed Miss Frye's acquaint
anco and subsequently accompanied
her on walks and rides with young men,
during which the witness declared,
Miss Frye drank from a pocket flask
offered by her escort arid smoked cig?
arettes.
Since the trial opened Miss Frye
has been carried into court because
of her ostensibly crippled condition.
Several times the trial has been inter
rupted by the plaintiff's fainting
spells. The hearing adjourned to-day
until Tuesday, when the first motion
picture exhibits will be. offered.

Again. Sure Husband Dead
The Royal Arcanum received judgment
! for ?3,420 in the Supremo Court yes?
terday in a suit to recover from Mrs.
! William Edward Lylc $3,000 paid bet?
as insurance money for the supposed
| death of her husband, who subsequent
! ly turned up alive. The award in?
cludes interest and costs.
The testimony was that in 1001 Lylo
| abandoned his wife and went to Mex
| ico, later returning to this country
and settling in the West. After he
was absent for several years without
communicating with his wife she took
it for granted he was dead ano col?
lected the insurance money. In t*icL
so sure was Mrs. Lyle that Lyle was
dead that four years ago, the. testi?
mony had it, she remarried. Her sec?
ond husband is Michael Leary, of Rich?
mond Hill, N. Y.
In 1919 the Royal Arcanum received
information that Lyle still was alive.
Five sisters of Lyle testified their
brother visited them in Brooklyn and
I Connecticut last summer, and one dc
! clared she called on him in Los An
j gcles last year.

Bedtime Stories
Mrs. Peter's Happy Christmas
By Thornton W. Burgess
Oh, the blessed joy of giving!
That is what makes life worth
living !
?Farmer Brown's Boy.
It was Christmas morning. Little
Mrs. Peter Rabbit, she who used to be
little Miss Fuzzytail, didn't know it.
She knew nothing about Christinas.
This day of gladness wasn't a day of
gladness for her at all. It was a day
of worry and sadness. You see, Mrs.
Peter was all alone in the dear Old
Briar-patch. Peter hadn't come home
from the Green Forest. He should
have returned at break of day. But
he hadn't. There had been no sign
of him and Mrs. Peter was sure
something dreadful had happened to
him.
So she sat all alone in the dear Old
Briar-patch looking across to the
Green Forest. To timid little Mrs.
Peter it looked dark and glopniy. It
looked like a place where dreadful
things could happen. She saw joliy,
bright, round Mr. Sun appear above
the tops of the trees and climb higher
and higher In the blue, blue *3ky, do?
ing his best to take away the chill
Jack Frost had left in the air. But
Mr, Sun brought no warmth to the
heart of little Mrs. Peter. Instead,
the higher he climbed the more wor- !
lied became little Mrs. Peter.
Every one else was happy. Tommy
Tit the Chickadee stopped to tell her j
of the goodies he and Drummer the !
Woodpecker and Yank Yank the Nut-1
hatch and Sammy Jay and Chatterer |
tiic Red Squirrel and Happy Jack the j
(?ray Squirrel had found spread for
them in the Old Orchard by Farmer j
Brown's Boy. Tommy wa?j so happy
and so excited he almost stuttered.
But Mrs. Petar didn't half listen.
Hardly haif'Tommy Tit flown away
when Farmer Brown's Boy himself
appeared tramping across the Green i
Meadows. He was whistling and he i
was headed straight for the dear Old j
Briar-patch. Mrs. Peter hid in the !
very middle of it. Farmer Brown's '
Boy was there for only a few minutes ?
and then tramped off toward the Smil- '
ing Pool, and he was still whistling
merrily as if his errand made him j
very happy. It did, for he was on his
way to leave some slices of carrot
and an apple or two where Jerry
Muskrat could find them.
Mrs. Peter crept back to the edge
of the dear Old Briar-patch and there
she found such a feast as she had not
seen for many a long day. There was
half a cabbage, two or three apples,
some slices of turnip, a carrot or two
and a little bundle of sweet-clover
hay. It was Farmer Brown's Boy's
Christmas gift.
But none of these things brought
joy to little Mrs. Peter. She hardly (
Tommy was so happy and so ex?
cited he almost stuttered
glanced at them. Although it was
| several days since she had had a
I really good meal she had no appetite.
I She was too worried for that. Where
was Peter? What could have hap-,
pened to him ?
And then, long after Farm-er
Brown's Boy had gone, she saw a
bobbing speck way over toward the
Green Forest. Mrs. Peter sat up
straight that she might see better,
and a great hope sprang up in her
heart. The speck grew larger. It was
brownish-gray! Could it bo?yes, it
was Peter! lie was coming lipperty
lippcrty-lip as fast as he could run.
With a bound little Mrs. Peter ran to
meet him.
That afternoon, side by side, they
feasted on the good things left for
them by Farmer Brown's Boy, and be?
tween bites Peter told all about his
adventures, how he had nearly been
caught by Yowler the Bob Cat and
how he had seen Mother Bear and
the twins, Boxer and Woof-Woof, re?
tire for the winter, and later had seen
Buster Bear go to sleep.
Later, when they could eat no more,
they sat side by side under a friendly
bramble-bush. Little Mrs. Peter snug?
gled up to Peter. "I never was so
happy in all my life," she whispered.
"It was a good feast and there is
a lot left over," said Peter, as usual
thinking of his stomach.
"It isn't that; it is having you
home safe again," whispered little
Mrs. Peter. "Oh, Peter, don't ever,
ever go away again."
And now you know why Mrs, Peter's
Christmas was so happy.

Special Dispatch to The "Tribuno
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Dec. 23.
The man who took five-year-old Tessie
Kuclarski "to see Santa Glaus" yester- |
day afternoon is bring sought to-night
1 by officials and volunteer posses on
| the charge of murdering her. Her body ;
; was found this morning stuffed in a]
grip in a closet, of the Hotel Albany.
She had been choked to death.
The police said to-night they would
arrest before morning George Garr?s, i
fifty-four years old, a carpenter, with j
whom the child was last seen alive. |
They say they have traced his move- |
ments to the home of his mother, in
Revere, near Frenchtown, on the .1er- >
sey-PonnsyJvania border. EIc lived at
: tho Albany until shortly before the
? body of the child was found. An
autopsy performed showed that death
was duo to strangulation with a strip
of bed ticking. The little girl had
been attacked before she died.
Girl's Father a Fugitive
Tessie was the daughter of Adolph
Kucharski, who until recently, when he
was charged with attacking a fifteen
year-old girl and fled his bond, man- !
aged the Bellmore Hotel. Since then j
she had been living with her mother, I
who kept the hotel open with the aid |
of a bartender she employed.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Garr?s entered the Bellmore and began |
a conversation with the child, who was !
playing about the bar. When he told ,
the bartender that he was going to [
take her out to see Santa Claus little ?
attention was paid to their departure, !
it being assumed the child would re- !
turn shortly with candy and perhaps ',
some small change from the man who :
j had taken such an interest in her. |
Her mother did not miss her until
: supper time, when a search was start- !
j ed. It was learned that she had gone !
| to the Albany with Garr?s, who told j
some one who asked him who the
youngster was that she was his grand
i child, who 'had come to pay him "a
1 little Christmas visit."
An hour after he entered the hotel
i he departed without the child, explain- i
i in? ti*.at he had sent her home with a :
! friend. The resulting investigation, ?
S begun an hour after he had gone, dis
! closed the little body, crammed into a ,
j suitcase, which had been carelessly
! flung into a closet in a room adjoip
j ing Garris's.
Accused of Attacking Boy
Garris was tried last May on the
charge that he had lured a small boy
? into the woods and attacked him. lie
! was acquitted. He is described as be
i in>r live feet eight inches in height, I
! dark and of stocky build. Tie was seen ;
; by a watchman about midnight pas.-- ;
I ing the Rutgers College buildings and j
[^making his way in the direction cil
I Bound Brook, where it is believed he :
boarded a train for Revere.
Two men who described themselves
! as Mike Roman and Sam Peski, bar
I tenders at the Bellmore, were held in
i the county jail to-night as material
witnesses. They are said to have talked
with Garris while he was in the hotel
with the little girl.
The countryside is so inflamed
against the murderer because of many
similar crimes in Jersey within the
! last few months that the authorities
! fear for the life of the slayer if he is
| run down by one of the bands that are
! seeking him. They are outspoken in
i saying that he will never live to see the
| inside of a jail if they lay hands on
him.
! Court Permits Beauley to
Amend DivorceComplaint
Appellate Division's Ruling
Forces Artist l<? Prove
Case on New Charges
William J. Beauley, an artist, whoso
decree of divorce from Mrs. Harriet
\V. Beauley, who conducts the Beauley
School of Expressive Arts, at Arrochar,
S. I., v.'as set aside by the Supreme
Court on the ground of fraud, received !
permission from the Appellate Division
yesterday to amend his complaint. Mr.
? Beauley was placed in an embarrassing i
i position by the setting aside of his
divorce decree, as he had remarried
after obtaining the decree.
Mrs. Beauley's defense to the suit,
was that she was not guilty of the
charges made by her husband and that
she had been placed in a compromising
position by her husband and detectives
employed by him so that Mr. Beauley
might have evidence on which to bring
his action. Upon her evidence of the
alleged "frame-up" Justice Lehman set
aside the decree and ordered a new ?
trial.
This ruling also was upheld by the
Anpeliate Division, which also relieved i
the second Mrs. Beauley from her em- !
barrassing position by providing that j
she*shall be recognized as the wife of i
the artist pending the outcome, of the j
second trial.
Mr. Beauley will now be compelled :
to prove his case on other charges of?
misconduct made against his wife,
which the amended complaint will i
contai?. ?

scraped the bottom of the bay, but
without result. Last Thursday Picardi
went with the divers and pointed out
the hiding place. The safe was recov?
ered and $40,000-worth of Standard Oil
stocks were found in it. The jewelry
